Harry and Sebastian's first anniversary was the biggest celebration in all of Cambridge, the alpha's wealthy friends threw a party at one of the fraternities and half the campus had turned out. The omega felt like he was in the clouds, he wanted to be married and have children with his alpha, although for some strange reason Sebastian always refused to bite him, using the excuse that they were very young and still had a whole university career ahead of them.

The music resounded everywhere, you could feel the vibrations in the floor and the walls; the place was filled with the scent of alcohol and pheromones, as well as more than a hundred students dancing one on top of the other in the centre of the floor. The couple were in one of the armchairs enjoying some drinks, Harry was sitting on Sebastian's lap and the latter rested his hand territorially on the curly man's waist.

"How are you feeling, bunny?" The alpha asked in Harry's ear.

"A little dizzy, but okay." He approached Sebastian's neck and began to distribute some kisses, making the people around him shout joyfully congratulating the alpha for getting such a dedicated and... easy omega.

"Why don't you take him upstairs, King? Give him what he wants, can't you see he almost melts for you to make him yours?" Snapped one of the alphas earning a smirk from Sebastian. He shook his head and lifted Harry's face from his neck to bring it to his lips, placing a soft kiss and the crowd let out a joyous cry again.

"What do you say?" He whispered in the omega's ear. "Shall we go up to give the public what they want?" The omega was not completely aware of what was happening around him, the only thing he was aware of was that his heat was approaching and that he had an alpha at his side. He locked his lips with Sebastian's again and the alpha took that as a resounding yes.

He stood up with the omega in his arms and began to walk up the stairs that led to the second floor. Most of the guests shouted things as they passed, but they completely ignored him, that night was for them.

"You've been waiting for this for a long time, right bunny?" The omega started kissing the alpha's neck again and he smiled mischievously. They reached the first door they found and the alpha flung it open.

Sebastian laid Harry back on the bed and pounced on him, leaving passionate kisses all over his neck. Without wasting much time he got rid of his shirt and threw it to the ground, and did the same with the omega's; alcohol had taken over the situation, Harry was barely conscious and the alpha would take advantage of that to do his thing.

"You look so cute, bunny." He said as he started to unbutton the omega's pants. There was a peculiar scent in the room, something Harry had never smelled in his life. Maybe it was the fact that he was about to have sex for the first time in his life... or was it something else? "I'm going to need you to turn around."

"Seb... I don't think we should do this, I don't feel very well." Harry's words came out delicately. He was aware that if he spoke in a strong tone Sebastian would get annoyed with him, but deep down he was telling himself that the alpha would understand.

"Of course we should, bunny, isn't this what you want?" His voice was demanding and rough, he didn't seem to be the same Sebastian who was with him just a few minutes ago. The alpha got rid of his pants and threw him to the ground, both were only in their underwear; he brought his hands to the omega's hips and spun him around with a sudden movement, causing an involuntary gasp to escape the curly's lips. "See? You do want to do this. Will you be good for me?"

"Sebastian, I don't want to do this..." He said in a small voice as he felt how the alpha began to distribute kisses on his back, ignoring his words. "Sebastian... I'm serious... I want to go to our bedroom, I don't feel very well, I think that they put something in my drink."

"Shh... I know you want this, just look at you, you're here almost naked in front of me begging me to make you mine," he began to massage his erection with the omega's body, "so cute and only for me, as it should be, alpha and omega... I'm the only one who's going to make you feel good, bunny, did you hear me? I'm the only one. Small tears began to flood Harry's eyes, he wanted to run, but he couldn't. He was dizzy and felt like his head would explode at any moment.

"Seb... take me to our bedroom, p-please..."

Sebastian continued to ignore Harry's words for a few minutes, in which he dedicated himself to leaving a trail of marks down his neck and across his back. Harry's tears increased as the alcohol left his system, he knew perfectly well that he couldn't allow Sebastian to do something like that to him, he didn't want his first time with someone to be like that; while he began to feel how the alpha began to lower his underwear, he turned around with all the strength he had left.

"What do you think you're doing, bunny? Don't you like that position?" He asked with a smile on his face, but Harry started to get up from the bed and grabbed his shirt off the floor.

"I told you I didn't want this, and you ignored me... Sebastian, it's our anniversary, I'm too drunk and I think they put something in my drink... I told you, and you ignored me." He said with a shaky voice, at that moment he hated Sebastian with all his might, he hated him so much that he wanted to leave and never come back, he wanted to talk to his mom, he wanted to see her, it had been so long since he hadn't been able to hear her voice because of... Sebastian.

"Come on, bunny," he clucked and walked over to Harry, "we were having fun, don't go like that." He tried to take his hands, but Harry pulled away. "Harry, you don't want to do this, and you know it perfectly, I'm not going to let you come down and let my friends see that I didn't make you mine, so come back to that bed right now or else..."

"Or else what, Sebastian?" He questioned him with a firm voice and the alpha's expression changed to surprise.

"Do you really want to know? Please bunny, don't make me mad, just go back to bed and let's cut this nonsense, you're about to start your heat, let me spend it with you." Harry shook his head and started to walk to the door while he put on his clothes. "As you wish then," he yelled, "the only thing is that if I sleep with another omega tonight you can't tell me anything, you understand?"

"Do what you want, I don't care." Said that, he left the room and began to walk to the exit. He wanted to return to his old bedroom, but he had all his things in Sebastian's. He sighed and started walking through the school as he wiped the tears from his cheeks. Once in the bedroom he changed his clothes and he got into bed, the clock said two in the morning but he couldn't sleep even though he was exhausted.

The door opened slowly and he knew Sebastian was back, the foul drunken scent of him making him want to throw up. He felt his footsteps slowly approaching the edge of the bed, and once the alpha was sitting next to him, he looked at him, the light coming through the window revealed his eyes perfectly, there were small drops of water coming out of them.

"Sorry, I'm a jerk," he cried, "I don't deserve you, Harry, really...I thought you weren't going to come sleep with me today after that stupid thing I did." He looked at him and a small smile appeared on his face. "The fact that you are here means that you love me, and that you will never leave me." He caressed the omega's cheek with his hand and laughed.

"You're still drunk, we better talk tomorrow." Harry's voice was calm, he couldn't resist Sebastian, he never could. The alpha lay down next to him and hugged him tight.

"I promise that will never happen again, ever, you know I'm not capable of hurting you my little bunny."

"I know, don't worry, everything is fine, we'll talk about this more calmly tomorrow, okay?" Having said that, they both fell asleep thinking that their problems would be solved when they woke up.

Months passed and things didn't change, Sebastian kept cornering Harry in similar situations where they either ended up fighting or they ended up sleeping. Harry's grades dropped significantly, Sebastian wouldn't let him even just to study for exams and the little time Harry did manage to be at peace he used to do the homework he was given. His teachers began to realise his situation and spoke with the school director, who threatened the omega with taking away his scholarship if his academic performance did not improve.

The second half of the second year was about to start and Harry wasn't sure if he was very happy with his life up to that point, he didn't like his career, but he couldn't afford not to finish, he had to be thankful for what he had, it became increasingly difficult for him to be with his boyfriend, who every weekend left campus alone, with the excuse that he was going to see his parents, Harry never asked many questions, preferring to give him his space to live with his family.

"I'm spending the weekend at Holmes Chapel with my mum and Stella, would you like to come?" Harry asked sheepishly the next morning.

Only a sheet covered his body after the reconciliation that morning, he was willing to fix things with Sebastian, he was his alpha and they had to make it work.

"You know that I spend weekends with my family, Harry, besides that neither your mom nor your sister like me, even if you say it's not true, I know it is, I can tell." Sebastian answered, raising his clothes off the floor to get dressed, Harry pulled the sheet even closer, it was true, but he had even a little hope that he would give it a try. "But do what you want, I'm not interested."

Saying that, he left the room, the omega sighed and got up to get dressed. Sebastian was like that, he could be fine one moment and the next he would leave as if he were angry, but he would get over it. Once his bags were ready, he left the university for the train station. He felt a strange sensation in his body, his heat was supposed to start that day, but it didn't matter much to him, anyway sometimes the suppressors made his heat come earlier or delayed it for a few days.

He got on the train and put both headphones on, a baby was crying in the background and he really didn't feel like taking that sound, despite loving children, there were days he just wanted to relax for a while, he exchanged some messages with Stella to let them know that he was on his way home and finally settled into his seat, maybe he could get some sleep.

☺☻☺☻

"My puppy, you look different, love. You seem down, what happened?" Jane said as soon as she had her son in front of her, Harry hugged her tightly and hid his face in her mother's neck, her scent comforted him.

"Sebastian's been a bit weird lately, but there's nothing to worry about, we're fine." Harry said with a small smile and Jane shook her head.

"You know very well that I don't like that boy, Hazzie, but hey, I'm not going to interfere in your decisions," the omega mused with a grimace, "let's better go home, I prepared your favourite meal for you."

They left the train station and went home on public transport, Jane told Harry everything that had happened in his absence, she even scolded him for not calling in so long, he had to lie to her saying that he had been studying for his exams, and once at home, they both sat down to eat, Stella was at work, so they could talk for a moment alone.

"Mom, I know you don't like to talk about this, but...how did you feel when you met Ed?" Harry asked and Jane frowned.

"I was young and dumb, honey, I thought he was my alpha, when in reality he turned out to be an asshole." She spat with some hate. "I was in love, I won't deny it, when we started dating he was charming, he took me for walks, he gave me gifts... Until I got pregnant with Stella, I knew he was involved in shady deals, but I never gave it much importance, because he told me that we were the most important thing to him."

"Until I messed things up." Harry muttered, looking down, Jane immediately stood up and hugged her little one tight.

"Don't say that again, Harry Edward Styles, you didn't ruin anything, love, you and your sister are the light of my life, and you are the best thing that could have happened to me, there are many alphas, but none are worth more than you are worth it to me, yes?" The omega nodded and they both walked to the couch, Harry leaned back on his mother's lap and she began to caress his curls "Why do you ask, honey?

"I believe Sebastian isn't my alpha." He said and Jane waited for him to continue. "Sometimes I'm so sure he is, but there are days when...I don't know, I'm just so tired I'm not so sure that's true."

"Remember that day at the fair, when you wanted to get on the Ferris wheel so badly?" She asked suddenly and Harry looked at her confused, but nodded. "Remember you went with that charming little blue-eyed boy who swore to be your alpha, and you followed what he was saying and named yourself his omega."

Harry smiled at that, how was he going to forget little Lou, who in such a short time made him feel so many things, but nevertheless, they were children, and everything was so confusing then.

"How couldI forget, I cried for you for so many months to see him again" He replied, keeping his smile, Jane nodded.

"However, he was somewhat right, when you find your alpha you will feel it in your heart, and you will not doubt it for a moment, Hazzie, but above all, your alpha will never make you feel unloved, or unprotected, does he make you feel loved and protected, love, what do you feel when you are with him?"

He thought about it for a moment, and his mother was really right. Sometimes it was so difficult to be with him, because he used to be so abrupt and rude, but despite that, he loved him, and he wanted to be with him. He was about to answer, but a terrible pain in his lower belly stole his breath, he curled up in a foetal position and Jane held him, the atmosphere filled with concern.

"Puppy? What's wrong with you?" She asked worriedly and Harry couldn't answer, the pain was so sharp that he couldn't even think. "Hazzie, love, what's wrong?"

"I... it hurts." He managed to whisper and Jane got up to help him move, but she was horrified to see that her little baby's pants were covered in blood.

"I'm going to call an ambulance, oh god, Hazzie, please, hold on a little bit, pup." She took the phone and called 911, her little one kept writhing in pain on the chair and the bloodstain was getting bigger and bigger by second.

The ambulance arrived quickly, they took Harry up and went to the hospital, they gave him painkillers while Jane called her daughter, the ambulance was filled with the smell of terror from the omega. Harry was more and more gone, between the pain and the painkillers forced him to fall unconscious before reaching the hospital, where they treated him as quickly as they could.

Jane and Stella were waiting in the hospital waiting room, the omega was crying inconsolably on her daughter's shoulder, and the beta was trying to comfort her mother and calm herself down, her little brother was in a room in that hospital and no one had given them news of him despite having been there for a few hours.

"Family of Harry Styles." Said a doctor walking towards the waiting room, the two women getting up as fast as they could.

"Here, doctor, is everything alright with my little one?" Asked the omega and the doctor gave her a sad look.

"Harry had a miscarriage, all indications were that it was due to high amounts of stress and probably alcohol consumption played a bit of a role, he's going to need a lot of support from him when things like this happen..."

"Wait a minute," Stella interrupted, her mother couldn't believe what she was hearing, "miscarriage? Harry wasn't pregnant."

"Oh, so I don't know, miss, but the studies show that he was four weeks pregnant, we even had to perform a curettage, the foetus hadn't been expelled from the body yet, but there was no chance to save it anymore. He probably didn't even have planned to tell you, and I'm sorry for breaking it, but I think he brought this on himself, you know what omegas are like these days."

"You really woke up wanting to be reported, right?" Stella said with a frown. "Don't you dare talk about my brother like that, let alone if you don't know him, just do your job, because even I know, it is not part of your job to talk about patients like that, now, can we go in and see him?"

The doctor nodded, embarrassed and led them to a room, where Harry was lying on the table. He was awake, but his eyes were full of tears and his hands were on his belly.

"Hazzie." Stella murmured and ran to hug her brother. "Are you okay? Why are you crying little one?"

"I was... but I lost it and..." He couldn't even formulate the sentence well, his voice was broken and Stella held him a little closer to her chest.

"Why didn't you tell us, Hazz? And why didn't you take better care of yourself? You can't drink when you're pregnant..."

"I didn't know, Ella, I swear, if I had known..." A sob interrupted him and Jane approached the stretcher to hug her children. "Sorry, I'm a failure, a terrible son and human being."

"No, Hazzie, you're not, that's fine, okay? It wasn't the time, you're young, you're not even twenty, love." Jane whispered, stroking her son's curls, kissing his head and pulling away to see him.

"Does Sebastian know I'm here?" Stella frowned and shook her head. "I have to call him, he has a right to know, he was the father."

"Hazzie, you must rest, then you can call him." Stella said and Harry shook his head.

"No, I have to call him now." She reached over and took his phone from her sister.

He called her boyfriend's number, three rings and sent it to the mailbox, it wasn't until he dialled for the third time that the alpha deigned to answer.

"What do you want, Harry? I was in the middle of dinner with my parents, weren't you at your mother's?" Sebastian said, not even greeting him.

"Sebastian...I'm in the hospital." Harry whispered, he couldn't believe his boyfriend was taking such an attitude.

"What? Why? Are you okay, bunny?" He asked worriedly, Harry smiled a little, but remembering the situation, a sad frown crossed his face.

"I don't know how you're going to take this, Sebastian, I swear I didn't know, until now, I..."

"Get to the point, Harry, you know I hate it when you ramble on." He interrupted and Harry nodded even though his boyfriend couldn't see him.

"I'm...I was pregnant." He blurted out and on the other end of the line everything went silent.

"You were?" He answered a few seconds later.

"Yes, I was, but I lost it." He whispered and the tears gathered in his eyes again, the lump in his throat intensified.

Silence, the worst of enemies, Harry couldn't tell if he had taken it badly or terribly, but his hands were shaking. He heard the alpha's light breathing on the other end of the line, getting faster, then a wry laugh.

"I always knew you were an incompetent and useless omega, but you've outdone yourself this time, bunny." He spat and Harry felt as if he'd been punched.

"What? What are you talking about, Sebastian?"

"That you can't even keep a baby alive, Harry, you're a useless omega, didn't you hear me? You lost our baby, our puppy, and that wouldn't have happened if you were a good, working omega, but of course not, you're a good-for-nothing." He spat and Harry began to sob. "Oh, and now you're going to cry, sensitive asshole that you are, I don't even know why I even noticed you in the first place. Nobody's going to love you, bunny, especially after learning that you couldn't even keep our son alive."

"Sebastian..."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear from you right now, you just ruined my night." Those were his last words, they were cold and heart breaking for Harry.

"No, please!" He sobbed and Stella looked at him concerned.

"You did know, right? And you got rid of our puppy on purpose, was he even mine? You're a bitch, Harry, I don't doubt you lost our son to messing with so many alphas, or that you provoked this, and yet check with me first." He gave a bitter laugh. "Nobody's going to love you after this, bunny, and I doubt I'll keep doing it. See you Monday."

And he hung up, Harry dropped the phone and cried his heart out, being held by his mom and sister, his life was completely ruined.

☺☻☺☻

By Saturday afternoon they had already discharged him, of course prescribing some painkillers and recommending rest for the next few days, but something curious happened.

"You can leave now, just remember our recommendations." The doctor repeated to them, but Jane refused to do so.

"Doctor, but they haven't sent me the hospital bill, I already told you." The omega insisted, but the beta looked at her as if she had gone crazy.

"Ma'am, all expenses have already been covered, you can return in peace."

"But we don't even have insurance, and this is not a public hospital." Said the omega, the doctor shook his head.

"It's not, but all the expenses have already been covered by..." He reviewed some files that he was carrying in his hands. "A certain ZM, everything is already covered, now please, I ask you to go home and rest."

The family eventually withdrew, unaware that a certain man who was tasked with guarding the Styles' home and his mother had notified his boss of what he had seen.

And Zayn took care of everything, that the best doctors treated Harry, that they gave him the best treatment, and above all, he prayed to the universe so that everything turned out well with the omega.

☺☻☺☻

On Monday morning, despite Jane's insistence that he stay, he arrived at school, ready to confront Sebastian about Friday's argument, plus he spent all Friday night and part of Saturday in the hospital. observation, and did not receive a single call from the alpha.

He went up the stairs as fast as he could and walked down the long corridor to the back room, the one he shared with Sebastian, a metre from the door he could hear some strange noises from inside his room, he could even feel a slight, very intoxicating smell, his stomach clenched and he decided to go inside as fast as he could.

He put the key in the lock and opened the door, he never would have imagined what he saw that day.

His boyfriend, the one who thought he was his alpha, in bed, his bed, where he hugged him every night before going to sleep, with another man.

Another alpha.

His eyes filled with tears and both alphas stopped immediately, turning to see the curly omega paralyzed in the doorway.

"Bunny, I can explain, I..." Sebastian got up from the bed and Harry slapped him before he could say anything else.

"You what? What are you going to tell me, Sebastian? I was hospitalised for more than twenty-four hours because I suffered a bloody miscarriage. I'm calling you to get, even for the first time, a little emotional support from you, what about you? And what do I get? A LOT OF VERBAL SHIT FROM YOU, TELLING ME I KILLED OUR BABY! I WAS SUFFERING WHILE YOU SLEPT WITH ANOTHER ALPHA!"

"Little bunny..."

"Shut up!" He hit the alpha again. "You're disgusting, I came willing to fix things with you, but after this..."

"Can we still fix it Harry, please." He begged and Harry glared at him.

"You're trash, King, don't ever talk to me again." He spat and started to walk away from the room, then he would go back for the rest of his things.

"NOBODY'S GOING TO LOVE YOU LIKE I DO, STYLES!" Sebastian yelled and Harry continued walking, pretending it didn't affect him at all.

Only a few hours later he would return, accompanied by Amelia for his things, he had managed to get her to be his roommate, and a month later he would return home with his mother, totally devastated, he cried until he was dry on the shoulder of his mother and sister, the pain his chest didn't calm down until six months later, when he began to attend therapy with the campus psychologist, an adorable elderly beta, listened to him and helped him improve in every way, managed to graduate and after that got a job, probably not what he would have thought, but it definitely changed his life completely.

And as he looked back, at his history with Sebastian, he found himself sobbing into Louis's neck after telling him all this, fear flooding his senses, fear that Louis will think the same thing, that he's a useless, useless omega. He realised everything that was wrong with that relationship, he realised that Sebastian never wanted him, and he realised, at the moment when Louis strokes his back with all the love in the world and whispers how much he loves him and how beautiful he is in his ear, that Sebastian was right; no one was going to love him like he did, because his alpha loves him a thousand times more than Sebastian ever swore to.

"Lou," he whispered barely in a voice, the alpha separated a little to look at him, "do you still love me after this?"

The alpha looked at him sadly, but a smile played on his lips and he nodded.

"Why? I was probably right, you know? I'm probably a worthless omega who won't be able to give you all the puppies you want." He said and looked down at his lap, their hands resting there, clasped, his engagement ring shining beautifully on his finger.

"Don't ever say you're a useless omega again, Harry, because you're the strongest omega I know, and losing that pregnancy doesn't make you any less, it wasn't your fault, teddy bear, and you know? I'm glad he didn't try to bite you, because you are my omega, and I will not stop loving you for what you went through."

"I love you so much, Lou." The omega whispered and joined his lips with his alpha's.

His mother once told him, despite how hard the road may be, you will always reach home in the end, and Harry had definitely, and finally, reached his.
