Everything was dark. Screams of people echoed everywhere but he didn't know where he was. He had no choice but to hope for the worst while that car took him to God knows where.

He cried, he felt like wanting to die, but still didn't ask for help, instead he thought about his mom and his sister, about every little moment he had with them. What would happen when Louis had to tell them that he was dead? How would they feel?

Louis. What would happen to Louis? With Niall... with Zayn and Liam. Would they be looking for him? Or was it just an incident they would let go, thanking heaven it was the bodyguard and not the boss? Would they do that?

A strong hit snapped him out of his thoughts, the car stopped so suddenly that he made him hit his head on one of the car's doors.

"Walk!" An alpha ordered as he opened the trunk, took his arm and pulled him to his feet, covering his face with a black cloth bag before he could identify where he was. He closed his eyes and started walking with the man holding his arm.

They reached some stairs and walked for a few minutes, the omega tried not to stumble with each step he took, but it was useless and that alpha practically had to carry him, until Harry began to feel that they were walking on solid ground again. Tears fell down his cheeks and his legs trembled with fear, he knew that this could be the last of his life, he knew that they would not find him in time, if they were even looking for him.

"Sit down." They pushed him until he fell into what he thought was a wooden chair, they took the bag off his face and tied his hands and legs to the chair, they also put a piece of tape over his mouth, and then the alphas left the place.

It looked like an abandoned warehouse, long lights hung from the ceiling and some of those were flickering. It was like a fucking cheap movie, even the floor was wet and dirty, and a horrible musty smell was present everywhere. Harry couldn't help but feel nauseous and a terrible urge to vomit.

During his training they had taught him what to do in case of being kidnapped, most of the lesson were based on resistance, no matter what they asked, even if they cut, punch or rip out, he should not say a single word about his job and, although escape was an option, they had taught him that it was better to wait since if he wasn't killed he might be of help to report something useful.

Fucking hell, he thought.

☺☻☺☻

"Mr. Malik." Someone called as he opened the door a little, the mentioned looked at the person at the same time as Niall and Liam turned their heads. "I think we found something, but we're not sure."

"You go, I'll stay to continue looking for some places." Niall spoke, they both nodded and left the office together with the guard.

The alpha looked at the map on the desk in front of him, frowning as he thought of possible places Harry might be, marking a few spots on the map with a red marker, tapping gently on the wood in an attempt to release the anxiety that itches inside.

The flashbacks of those men taking Harry did not let him think straight. How had he been so naive? How had he let Harry get out of the car before him? A lump in his throat began to be present and that pressure in his chest returned, a little stronger than before, because now he also had in mind everything that Zayn had told him, about how Kasper already had Harry in mind for Louis, that Zayn just kept looking everywhere until he found him.

Louis opened his eyes and felt the heaviness of his tiredness flood through his body. A scent made him stand up and look around. The figure of someone in front of Zayn's desk caught his attention, an aroma of sadness, despair and, above all, guilt filled the room and soft sobs came from that man.

What had happened? The worst came to his mind. Did they find Harry? Did something go wrong again? Was he dead? His breathing increased at the same time as the rate of his heart. He approached the man and immediately recognized him, it was Niall.

He looked down at the map and a tear fell onto the paper causing the marker's ink to run down the page making a mess. Niall was crying. His brother was there, crying as silent as he could.

"What happened now?" He asked, feeling his heart break. The blond looked at him and shook his head, trying to wipe away his tears in vain.

"I'm sorry..." He sobbed before throwing himself into a hug to which Louis returned immediately. "I'm really sorry, Lou, if I could have stopped them I would have, and he wouldn't be there."

"Don't worry, Ni. It's all going to be okay." He caressed his back and felt the alpha's tears running down his neck. "We're going to find him and everything's going to be fine. We will be alright."

He tried to comfort him, even when not even himself believed in the words that came out of his lips. Niall kept a tight grip, clinging with all his strength to his brother's clothes as he begged for his forgiveness.

"It's all my fault, if only I had gotten off first they would have taken me..."

"No, no... Niall. It's not your fault, none of this is." He calmed him down. "We all know that these are risks of having the work we do. It's not your fault and I know that if you could have done something, you would have done it."

He held him tightly in his arms, he had never seen Niall that way.

"I would have... if only I had gotten off before that stupid bodyguard, and nothing of this would have happened to him." He cried louder. "They would have taken me. I am who they wanted."

His words surprised the hazel-haired alpha, he separated from the grip just to look into his eyes.

"How come you are the one they were aiming for?" Louis asked.

"Who else, Louis? I was the one in the car! I was the one they were looking for!" He yelled in frustration. "Your omega would be safe if it wasn't for my fault!"

Louis's features softened, he took Niall's face in his hands and forced him to look into his eyes, he gave him a small kiss on the nose and then on the forehead, it was a gesture that they had adopted since childhood, on those endless nights that they would sneak into Zayn's room and all sleep together, all because Niall was scared to sleep alone in such a big room. Every night between them they would give each other a little kiss on the forehead and then on the nose, they would say goodnight and sleep cuddled up all night.

"Listen to me Niall," he said with a knot in his chest, "this isn't your fault, we're going to find Harry and we will make sure that this doesn't happen ever again, okay?" A tear fell down his cheek and he tried to hide his fear with a smile. That was the moment in which he had to be strong for Niall, he needed to have the strength to be able to protect his younger brother from himself, he needed to be strong enough to be able to find Harry.

The blond alpha hugged him tightly and nodded. Suddenly they were 11 and 12 years old again, and Niall was crying for having scraped his knee. Suddenly Louis no longer cared that the blond ate too many sweets because Kasper bought him after each mission. He blinked and had to calm him down, because something went wrong in the mission .

They weren't children anymore, and as adults they had to take control of this situation, for Harry.

"Good, so now we have to look for Harry. Do you remember anything else about what happened?" They both separated and Niall thought for a few seconds until a memory came back to him.

"The ring." He said as he began to search through his pockets, Louis looked at him confused.

"What ring?"

"The ring that one of the men left... where the fuck did I leave that fucking ring?" He searched in his pockets for a few seconds, until he finally found it.

He took out the chain that the silver ring hung from, looked at it carefully and Louis walked over to see it too.

"K. C?" The brown-haired man questioned with confusion.

"The name is familiar to you too, right?"

They both looked at each other in surprise when they realised that they were thinking about the same thing. They ran out the door and out of Zayn's office fully knowing where they needed to go.

"Where are you going?" Zayn asked as he bumped into them on the way, Liam looked at them in confusion.

"There's no time to explain, follow us. Now." They said, grabbing Zayn by the arm and pulling him with them.

The three alphas and the omega climbed the stairs until they were on the second floor and approached the door in front of them.

"What are we doing at my father's office?" Zayn asked, his voice trembling a little with nerves.

"Do you remember that little bag I gave you a while ago? A plastic one with weird initials printed on it." Zayn looked at Liam for answers.

"Was it the same night you were crying because you said you didn't need protection?" Niall sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Yes, but that's not the important thing. I gave you the bag and it seemed familiar to all of us, but we didn't really know why." He opened the door of that office that had remained intact since the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Malik. Or so they thought.

A shiver ran down the back of the omega as he remembered the events that had occurred in his childhood, Liam's arm caressed his lower back and the four entered the place.

Niall ran straight to the desk, as imposing as he remembered, he could still see and smell Mr. Malik like when he was sent to him so they could talk about him and his role in the mafia as Zayn's right-hand man, the importance of looking to the future, and how it all was about teamwork for Icarus Rose. It seemed like just yesterday when he was ten years old and Zayn's father took them in as his sons.

But the desk was not empty and clean as they thought, there were papers and photos everywhere, Louis approached with curiosity and took the first thing he found; a photo of Harry at his college graduation.

"What is this, Zayn?" He looked at his brother, showing the photo in his hands, everyone was completely silent.

He began to look through all those documents, they were Harry's documents, photos of him with his family, all of them seem to be of him around the ages of nine and a some time before current, leaving university, with his family, receipts from a hospital, it seemed that the life of the curly omega was documented there.

He found a smaller envelope, addressed to him from Kasper Malik. He urgently opened it and began to read.

Dear louis.

I know that I promised you to find that little boy who stole a sigh of love from you for the first time, and I did it, it was quite simple, if I am being totally honest. His name is Harry Edward Styles and he's a lovable little guy, from what I've been told during my time looking under each rock to find him. I know I told you that as soon as I found him I would make sure to present you two, but he is too young to bring him into the house, to even think about having an alpha yet, he needs to grow and discover who he is first, before making his life with you, you understand that, right? I promise you that as soon as he is old enough I'll make sure you two meet again so that you can do things right, and fill me with pride. Boy, make sure you deserve that omega, conquer him and treat him the same or better than you treat my little Zayn.

PS: It looks like you two would give us beautiful grandchildren. Make sure you become the alpha that he deserves until you have the opportunity to meet him again.

With love, Kasper Malik. Your father.

Louis looked at Zayn again, with his eyes full of tears. The omega looked like he regretted doing something, Niall was snooping through the documents and Liam was alert in case that anything happened.

"Why did you never tell me about him?" He asked, anger soaking into his voice, Zayn flinched.

"I did tell you, the afternoon after Liam bit me. I told you that day." He replied with tears beginning to fill his eyes.

"And by that time did you already know it was Harry? Have you known all this time?"

Zayn nodded and walked over to Louis.

"And did you know that they were going to take him away? For what exactly purpose, Zayn, would you help me find my omega to take away from him in such a cruel way? Why?"

"This got out of my hands!" He yelled, he couldn't stand his brother thinking such things about him. "I didn't want to interfire between you two. I wanted you to get to know each other, to notice things for yourself, I never thought Harry would be kidnapped." Louis nodded and folded his father's letter to put it in his back pocket.

Liam approached the desk and began to move the papers trying to clean a little so they could have a better view, then Niall searched the surface of the wood for that particular mark, until he found it. The same initials carved with a pocketknife into the desktop, K.C.

"How come I never remembered this?" Zayn asked, wiping his tears and looking at those letters that Niall was reviewing with his fingertips.

"None of us remembered until now, but there's something that doesn't make sense... the man who killed your father also died that day, remember?"

"This is all a stupid ghost story." He looked at one of the photos of Harry leaving the university being hugged by a tall dark-haired boy. "We have to find Harry and forget about this nonsense." Louis exclaimed, tired of losing time.

"No, it makes sense." Liam started and they all stared at him. "I mean, Killian Calder came here with the intention of stealing the recipe for alpha essence, right? But he died trying."

"We already know that. Now, can we stop wasting useful time?" Louis was tired and already felt his eyes sting due to all the crying, the pressure on his chest, Kasper's letter, and remembering those difficult days of Mr. Malik's death were suffocating him.

"No, shut up. We know that Killian had a son around Zayn's age, right? It makes sense that they seek revenge and that they want to achieve the goal their father died for, and what better than to get our attention by kidnapping Niall. But of course he failed and now it's a matter of time before they realise that. The name the delivery man said! I knew it sounded familiar to me, it's exactly the same. The Calders are behind this."

Louis knew it was a matter of time, and that was what made him nervous. Because not only would they realise that Harry is an omega and let him go, they would most likely use him as if he were a warm sack of flesh and bones. They could even kill him if he didn't give them the information they wanted. He didn't want to lose his omega without even having him all to himself.

☺☻☺☻

"So we finally met." Announced an effusive voice behind him, the omega looked down and tried to calm down. The effects of his suppressors would wear off at any moment and he didn't want to give off a scent of nervousness. "They told me that your kidnap was very easy. To tell the truth I thought you would give us more of a fight, we were prepared to fight and you simply let yourself be captured." He stood in front of the omega with a huge smile on his face, he was a rather unpleasant alpha, It smelled of alcohol and didn't seem to be the boss of anything. Harry met his eyes and frowned "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tomlinson."

The confusion on Harry's face set in, clearly they had taken the wrong man. The alpha noticed Harry's gesture and ripped the tape off Harry's mouth in a single motion.

"Wrong person, sorry pal. I'm not Mr. Tomlinson" Harry said once he was able to speak. The alpha looked at a man behind him and returned his eyes to Harry.

"So, who are you?" He asked, confused.

"I am his bodyguard." The spy entered the place and Harry could see his face immediately. When he saw him he was surprised.

"What is he doing here?" He asked, the alpha looked at him annoyed and burst out laughing.

"I was going to ask you the same thing, what the hell is he doing here and why am I not talking to Tomlinson?"

"Horan was the one with us..."

"And where is he?" He asked again. The bodyguard calmly walked over to him and stood in front of Harry.

"We don't need him, here we have the only one who could catch Tomlinson's attention." The alpha looked at him confused, so he kept talking. "He has a certain... soft spot for his bodyguard."

Harry's eyes widened in surprise, now he would be the bait.

"That's right?" The alpha looked at him with a smile, Harry didn't say anything, he couldn't risk opening his mouth and putting Louis at risk. But the alpha did not think the same, he approached Harry and punched him in the face causing his lip to start bleeding. "I ASKED YOU A FUCKING QUESTION!"

"No." He said in a whisper. The alpha laughed again.

"I'll take that as a yes so we can now move on." He hit him again, but this time Harry groaned in pain.

And what he had tried to prevent happened.

The fear inside him began to rise and the effect of the suppressors wore off, the sweet aroma of his inner omega began to come out of him. The alpha looked at him and immediately smiled.

"But look what we have here... Now this, it explains everything." He reached over and caressed Harry's cheek, who squeezed his eyes shut and clenched his jaw. "You are just a little omega, that's why Mr. Tomlinson is interested in you, right?"

Harry didn't answer.

"You know that makes our job a lot easier, right?" With a minimal move and with his razor, he cut the hair tie that was holding his curly hair, letting it fall to his shoulders. "Call the spy and let him know we've got the bait right where we want it."

The man nodded and left the place, causing Harry's fear to increase.

"You know," he began, " the smell of an omega is very easy to find, it can stay on the walls of a house, clothes, and basically anything that the omega touches, but do you know where there is a very concentrated aroma?" He ran his razor across Harry's neck and moved closer to him, then took a deep breath and exhaled. "In their hair."

After that he grabbed all of the omega's hair and cut it with his razor in one motion.

"Oh!" The alpha yelled happily. Tears began to fall down the green-eyed man's face as he looked down at the ground. It wasn't that bad, at least he hadn't cut his neck.

The alpha walked away and gave the man the long locks he had cut off and returned to Harry only to hit him hard in the face causing him to pass out.

Now the second phase would start

☺☻☺☻

Two days had passed and Louis was getting more and more desperate, they didn't have a clue about where Harry was, and there were already several cars under their power roaming the city. On the news they announced a lockdown because someone had pissed off the mafia and now they were looking for something that belonged to them, but the reality was that those who were patrolling were strictly forbidden to harm any civilian, unless they interfered with their business.

Louis was still in Harry's room, smelling the clothes that had his scent impregnated as if he were a pervert. He hadn't wanted to leave there, so he ran all his errands on Harry's small desk, somewhat uncomfortable compared to his big chair padded and all the space he had to spread papers on the huge dark wood desk in his office, but his alpha begged to feel the omega as close as possible.

His phone rang and as soon as he read the name that flashed on the screen a knot settled in his stomach. It was Jane, where would he find the strength to tell her that he had failed to take care of her child if he himself couldn't handle the pain in his heart? He picked up the phone and the worried voice of the omega reached his ears.

"Louis, how are you? I'm calling to ask about Harry. He hasn't answered his phone for two days and I'm very worried. Won't you be distracting my puppy a lot with work?" Asked the woman in a very fake jovial tone, it was clear that she was more than worried because of the curly and that made louis feel worse

A pitiful sob came from the alpha and worried the woman more, who kept insisting on her son and asking if Louis was okay.

"I'm so sorry Jane, I'm so sorry, I failed you in the worst way I could have failed you. Stella was right, we only exposed Harry to danger." He answered as best she could and Jane was even more alarmed.

"What are you talking about, darling? Where is Harry? Did something happen to him?" She questioned desperately, in the distance he could hear the slight murmur of Stella on the other side of the line, she sounded as worried as her mother.

Awkwardly and in between sobs Louis explained that what Harry had said was a lie, the reality was that Zayn had recruited Harry to be Icarus Rose's bodyguard, and Jane listened attentively and did not interrupt at any time.

"Louis, I already knew that. Or did you think I wouldn't see that ring on your finger? If I didn't say anything, it's because I wanted to see for myself the reason why Harry took you home when he had always said that if one day he took someone, it was because he was sure he would never hurt them. And all I saw was the alpha that I always wanted for my son. Now, calm down and tell me what happened to my puppy." The woman begged.

"I swear... for my life, that if the situation had been in my hands he wouldn't have allowed it, but he went with Niall and..."

"IS HE DEAD?!" The omega shouted in the middle of a heartbreaking sob. She was desperate and her omega was restless when she felt the absence of her puppy. Louis shook his head and when he realised that she wasn't able to see him.

"Worse." He whispered, feeling tears filling up in his eyes again, he looked at the wall in front of him, where he had several papers pasted on the white surface as an organisation form so they could find Harry.

Jane's sobs were heartbreaking. He could also hear Stella trying to calm the woman down and asking what had happened. But Louis couldn't help but apologise through his sobs.

"Harry's been kidnapped," he spoke again once he was sure his voice wouldn't cut off, "he went to make a delivery with Niall and they took him away... Forgive me, I swear that if I..."

"The only way I could ever forgive you, Louis, is if you find a way to find my Harry alive and in one piece." Jane whispered softly. "I would never be able to think of your name without cursing it if you don't find my son, I swear to what I love the most, Louis, if you don't find him I..."

A sob interrupted her speech and Louis's heart squeezed even more. In those days, he hadn't really thought about how Jane's suffering was way bigger and worse, not even possible to be compared to his. Louis had lost his omega, but Jane had lost one of her children.

"I promise, we're doing everything we can to find Harry, I can't let him go, I need him with me."

"Then show me and Harry that you are the caring and protective alpha I let into my home, Louis. It doesn't help me that you promise so many things while my puppy is out there, suffering. I don't know what so many things." Jane accused and Louis nodded again.

"Let me court him, please." He asked desperately, he heard another sob from the omega. "Please Jane, I promise to be that alpha that Harry deserves."

"Earn that right, find my kid. Find my puppy." The woman said before hanging up, and Louis sobbed until his throat burned from the strain of his vocal cords.

For two damn weeks after that call he didn't hear from Jane, he only got messages from Stella asking how far the investigation had progressed. But everything was the same, they had checked the warehouses that went unnoticed the most or those with suspicious activity. They had talked to their associates and threatened to cut off relations with anyone who was somehow covering up Harry's kidnapping. But nobody knew anything at all, and Louis was drowning more and more in his misery as he couldn't feel the omega close, his scent had already faded from his clothes and room.

He finally found the strength he needed to get out of omega's bed, who hardly even smelled like him anymore, and went to the kitchen for something to drink, he was dehydrated from crying so much, and not having news made him tired of living, of opening his eyes in the morning and remembering that Harry was suffering and that everything he dreamed of at night, about a future with a curly green eyed man proudly wearing his mark, were just that, dreams.

Two omegas were talking in the kitchen, and due to the silence, Louis was able to hear them before they even noticed his presence in the place.

"Have you heard what happened yet?" Asked an omega with copper-coloured hair, the brunette nodded.

"I have heard that Mr. Horan and Tomlinson's bodyguard was kidnapped, it's a shame, he was a very handsome beta, but I think that by this point he is probably already dead." Replied the other omega.

"Well, you're going to be very disappointed about this, but I heard that apparently he's not a beta, but an omega."

"It can't be true, are you serious?"

"That's right. And apparently Mr. Tomlinson claims him to be his omega."

The brunette grimaced and Louis growled at them for talking about Harry like that, earning his attention and a sound of surprise from them.

"M-Mr. Tomlinson, do you need anything?"

"Ladies, I thought I had given you orders to clean the oven and not to be secretly talking about our young Styles. Move, I'll prepare Mr. Tomlinson's tea." Barbara interrupted, the omegas nodded and the woman gave the alpha a warm smile. "Do you want to talk about it with me, my darling?"

Louis shook his head and hugged the small body of the omega, hiding his face in her neck as he would with his mother. And Barbara began to caress his hair while whispering words of encouragement, and now Louis had ruined her dress with his tears.

"They're going to find Harry, honey. And we're going to welcome him into the family with open arms, right? Then I'll take care of him just like I took care of you, just like I'll take care of his children, okay, honey? Don't cry, Harry needs you to be strong." Barbara began to whisper without stopping the movement of her hand, which was comforting the brown-haired alpha.

The alpha separated from the omega and wiped away his tears trying to regain his composure.

He had to find Harry, or else...

"Louis!" Niall shouted storming into the kitchen, the brunette man looked at him and the blond continued. "We found something!" He said breathlessly.

And he felt like his soul returned to his body, he was a little relieved, and he rushed to Zayn's office.

We are going to find you, Harry.
