Chapter Text
The sounds of damp breathing filled the room followed by the occasional thick swallow. It was dark with very little light so all the Omega could rely on was his other senses and his Alpha was dominating each and every one. He could smell the musk that was pouring off him and hear the erotic scrape of shell against shell. It made his muscles tense and his head swim while touches of fire caressed his skin. Words had left him long ago and all he could do was whimper and try to arch into the touches and tastes, hoping that was enough to convey that he needed more.
The sharp clarity of his mind fuzzed out when he felt his opening widen, allowing passage for something large within. A throaty sound came from him and he arched as much as his shell would allow, the perceived sting fading quickly to be replaced be a muted warmth. Movement was slight but reached deeply, touching upon things he had no clue felt good. The tension was soaking his limbs and core, tightening to the point where he should be worried of injury and then that telling quiver started to loosen his belly.
His eyes opened to the sound of his phone just as he felt the release. A groan and a grimace surfaced as he felt the lingering portions of his orgasm shudder through his body as he had to fumble for the phone. Night emissions weren't supposed to be happening this late in his age, right? That was supposed to be an early adolescence thing. And it was still another year before the heat cycle kicked in. They had made plans for this and maybe it was just his excitement getting the better of him. The thought of his Alpha taking him sometimes distracted him to the point where he couldn't do anything else but think of sex and he was okay with that on only a few occasions.
"Yeah?" He sounded husky and distracted. He hoped that the other person would take it for sleepiness as he tried to wipe himself clean with the bed sheet. "This better be good it's three--"
"Donnie." The tone in her voice made him stop and pay attention to her voice. There were sirens in the background. Faint.
"Where are you, April?" He tucked himself back in, already on his feet and on his way out the door to his brother's room.
"I'm home-I'm okay." Even her reassurance wasn't convincing. She sounded shaken up. "He was here."
Donatello stopped in his tracks. He knew who she meant. He could feel his arm tingle at the realization but still he wanted to make certain. "He?"
"That Alpha. He was here." There was a quiet sob from her and Donnie doubled his time to Leo's room, banging on the door three times before opening it. "He... he stole the leatherback from the aquarium. The police think it was just some gang thing going on.."
All the turtle needed to do was catch Leo's eyes before turning away. "He stole the leatherback? How do you know?" He flipped the phone on speaker mode and held it out between the two of them.
"Because it's out on the street in front of my building." A stifled sob came through the speaker and Leo and Donnie looked at each other. "I-it's horrible. That poor creature!"
"April, it's Leo. Don has you on speaker phone." He was speaking and already putting on his gear. "If you can safely do so without drawing attention, get some photos. We need to find out if there are any messages out there."
"I-I did. Of the turtle and the area. He drew 'delight' on the turtle's shell in it's own blood." Donnie nearly dropped the phone on that and Leo reached out, touching his brother's arm.
"You stay inside. Keep the doors locked and make certain there's no activity by the windows. We're going to scope out the aquarium for clues before heading over to your place. We'll keep in touch."
"Be careful, guys."
By then the other two turtles had arrived, sleepy and somewhat grumpy that sleep had been interrupted. Mikey's nose lifted in the air for a moment but his expression still remained muddled. "Show time, 'bros," Leo announced. "Gotta make a trip to the aquarium. April said the Alpha knows where she lives."
"What?" Raph's hands turned into fists as he felt that rage kick in. "We gotta get her and her dad outta there! He's nuts!"
"I think he was sending a message. But how he made the connection between her and us is what's worrying me." Leo softened his look just slightly as he looked at Don. "Get cleaned up. We're leaving in five."
*********
Ninja were stealthy and silent. Once they were at the aquarium they were even more cautious since the police had yet to finish their own investigation. Trapped on the roof for the time being, the brothers could only wait before they would have their turn inside. Donatello paced along one side of the roof, muttering to himself. "I need to check the police cameras over the past few weeks and see if he ever followed April. We can either keep them at the lair or maybe at the dojo if we need to. And I'll have to bump up security in the tunnels, too. Who knows if he actually knows where we live."
Leo allowed Donnie to pace behind him while he watched the police activity below. He seemed the most collected of the turtles, still and silent as he listened to Raph and Mikey mutter to each other with Donnie's subconscious fretting. Leo felt they were still safe in their lair-had the Alpha come near their territory both his mate and Mike would have known and reacted unfavorably to that. Having April under the threat of this Alpha was not a good thing but not only did they have the two mentioned locations, there was also Casey's place if need be. That would be considered a last resort. Leo would much rather have them close to home, so to speak. Not to say that Casey wasn't a capable fighter, he just thought that Casey wouldn't be much help in this instance.
He didn't feel the shift more than heard it in the Alphas. Their voices picked up and bickering kicked in, Leo turned his head and watched as Raph and Mikey argued about something trivial, glancing at Donnie in silent question. As soon as he saw the color drain from his brothers's face he stood, drawing his blades. "He's here, isn't he?"
"Well, lookie here! It's my D-lite and Polywog."
"I AIN'T NO DAMN FROG!!!!" Sais gleaming, he twirled around, trying to find the Alpha. All they heard was an echoing voice that seemed to surround them. Leo forced himself to tune out Raph and scanned the rooftops, waiting for the Alpha to show himself. He side glanced at Donnie who wavered, his bo shaking.
"And they gots friends!" The Alpha seemed to be coming from a different location. Leo turned toward the direction, his eyes narrowed in concentration. "So what are you two?"
"That the guy, Raph?" Mikey snarled, "That's him, right?"
"Yeah, That's him."
"We have two polywogs!" The voice was coming from another direction and Leo turned towards it, still waiting. "So does that mean there are two delights?"
"You leave my brother alone!" Donnie shouted out as his voice wavered.
"Don't let him egg you on," Leo warned his brothers, noting how agitated the Alphas were getting.
"Maybe only one delight," the Alpha mused and Leo swore he could feel the human's eyes on him. "Pity. Oh well. You'll still be some use to me."
He leaped down from the billboard and landed right in the middle of them. Donnie was already cowering and Mikey and Raph were half charging, half arguing who was going to attack first. Leo narrowed his eyes, taking in how the guy was built and mentally calculating how he could be taken down. It also took every ounce of willpower to keep from dropping down on all fours in submission. "Turn yourself in," Leo advised, his voice steadier than his nerves were. "Get help."
"Oh, lookit Mr Big Pants talk," the Alpha taunted, hand darting out almost too fast for Leo to catch and snag a charging Raphael out of the air. The Alpha grinned viciously as Raph choked.
"RAPH!" Mikey's kusarigama flew out and wound around the Alpha's wrist but it seemed like it was more some play string than a weapon. The Alpha jerked his arm, almost ripping the chain out of Mikey's hands and shaking Raph like a rag doll in the process.
"That's the only warning I have for you," Leo continued, forcing his eyes to stay on the Alpha and ignore Raph's choking. "If you don't heed this, we will be forced to deal with you ourselves."
"Yeah? You and who's army? 'Cause I got two of you here and your buddy's makin' a puddle behind ya." The Alpha laughed, eyes shifting to Raphael's direction. "Yer arm all healed up and everything? Good. Cause I wanna see how good yer neck does." As his hand squeezed, Raph's eyes rolled in his head as both his hands tried to break the other's hold. Red exploded as the bladed end of MIkey's weapon hit the Alpha's arm.
"You think you can bulldoze your way into our city? Take our mates? You got another thing coming, dude." Mikey was spitting fire, tugging on the chain to rip open a wound and free Raph. Raph dropped like a ton of bricks, gasping for air as he scrambled off to catch his breath.
"I need a sample!" Donnie screamed out as his genius suddenly hit him.
"Now's not the time for mad scientist, Don!" Mikey called out, feeling himself get dragged along as the Dozer pulled him away from the group.
"Yes it is! Yes! Get me a sample."
"Ya heard the brain," Raph rasped, struggling to his feet. "He wants a sample."
Leo nodded, dancing around to find a clean shot. They would only have one chance at this. "Hold him steady, guys." He watched as the Alpha took a hold of the chain, trying to yank on it to unbalance his smallest brother. He almost accomplished it before Raph got a hold of Mike, lending his own strength to the chain. It was like trying to tie down a pissed off tiger that carried three scorpion tails.
Dozer growled then, eyes boring into Leo's as he did so. Both Michelangelo and Raphael hissed, fighting hard not to charge the Alpha but keep him occupied with the kusarigama. Donnie whimpered but pushed himself to prepare the slides and vials he wanted filled. Leo faltered under the hard gaze of the Apex and he grinned at the realization. "Oh ho! Playin' Beta, are ya? You're just like little Delight, over there. Maybe even a little sturdier."
"NO!" Mikey gave the chain a hard yank but discovered it wouldn't budge. The Apex had enough chain wound around his wrist that the turtle couldn't do any more damage. "You're not touching him!"
"Says you!" Dozer scoffed, his eyes still trained on Leo, some how managing to break down all of his defenses and making him lower his swords with just a look. "Sturdy Omega here says he wants some. That mark on his neck won't keep him with you." The feeling was terrifying. No one should be able to have this much hold over another! Leo felt drawn to this Alpha and he could feel his tail shiver, relaxing from its usual tight position against his body.
"Leo!" Donnie wanted to go and help his brother but he couldn't. Not with the Apex right there and the memories too fresh in his head. "Leo, get away!"
As much as his mind screamed out that he was trying, he took another step closer to Dozer, dropping his guard almost completely. Just a few steps more and he would be properly dominated, just like he wanted. No. Just like he needed.
Raph saw the change and could feel the panic and rage rise in his chest. If he dropped the chain, Mikey would be vulnerable. If he didn't, Leo was going to be claimed by this Alpha who could instill rage, lust or fear into anyone by just looking at them. Something broken and painful flit across his green eyes as he looked at his mate. "Leonardo." Still husky from being choked, he put all of his commanding tone into it. "You're mine. Get those samples so we can get out of here."
At the sound of his name, Leo froze. His eyes were still locked on the Apex, but he heard his Alpha. His mate. The split second before the chain broke, Leo's eyes shifted as did the grip on his swords. Everything that happened was too fast to follow after. Leo struck and struck true. He didn't make a killing blow, but slashed across the Apex's chest, angling enough for profuse bleeding. The Apex bellowed his rage and charged like an enraged bull, plowing through everyone and everything to get to Raph. Raphael, who was unarmed; his sais had been dropped when his airway had been cut off.
"Raph!" Donnie threw his bo at his brother like a javelin as he ran towards Leo, hoping that it would be enough. Raph snatched it out of the air and twisted it like a giant baton, steadying his stance to block the Apex with it. The connect was almost like a thunder clap when Raph pulled to the side at the last minute and used the Apex's momentum against him. Turning swiftly he swung the bo across the Alpha's back, moving him forward to the ledge of the roof.
"Mike!"
"-On it!" The broken chain struck out, serving to make the Apex stumble in the rage so that he would trip. All the better that he tripped and careened over the edge of the building. Mikey ran after him to make certain he connected with the ground, cursing when there was no sign of the Apex on the ground or any of the window ledges. "He got away!"
"Not all of him," Leo muttered, keeping his blades perfectly parallel with the ground. "Donnie. Get your stuff over here." The portion of his swords that faced the sky were colored red. It probably wasn't enough blood for all that the genius wanted to do, but he hoped it was enough.
Donatello rushed over to work quickly, collecting at least a few slides worth before using a vial to collect the rest. "And this is why you're the master." There was a tight grin on his face as he carefully tilted the katana himself to make certain every drop was saved.
Raph leaned on the bo, standing behind his baby brother as he peered out into the darkness. "Ya want us to look for 'im?"
"No. We have what we need for now. We need a bigger advantage if we're going to stop him." His dark blue eyes flickered up to Don who nodded in confirmation that he was finished. "And he's been marked. Everyone's going to learn who he is, now."
"That was brilliant, 'bro." Mikey nodded, moving to stay close to Donnie as he prepared his samples for travel. "What now?"
"Get Don back home so he can start analyzing those samples. Raph and I will get to April's and get her and Kirby moved out of there for now."
Donnie finally straightened, taking his weapon back from Raph with a nod. "Be careful out there."
"We will." Raph smirked, putting a hand on the mark on Leo's neck. He had to do at least that much while they were out here in the open. "We'll get home as soon as we can."
"Text within the hour. If we don't hear anything, we'll come after you."
Leo nodded. "Fair enough. Stay safe."
