"I'm s-so s-s-sorry!" You sobbed against his chest. It was as if fate, the very thing you swore that didn't exist, had slapped you in the face with the revelation that it did in fact exist and was the very thing that was guiding your life. "What ever for, sweet one?" He asked softly as he gently rubbed your back and allowed you to cry against him. You took a hitching breath and mumbled something that caused him to slip a finger under your chin and tilt your head up gently and say, "I didn't quite catch that, sweetheart. Can you repeat it?"

You blush at the affectionate touch but look up and say, "Because this is all my fault." Stephen froze and you immediately look back down as the guilt bubbles up again. "I'm sorry, who's fault do you think it is?" He growls as he kneels in front of you so that you have no choice but to look at him. "It's all my f-fault." You whisper as your bottom lip quivers and a few more stray tears stream down your face. "No!" He growls as he stands up and very quickly picks you up and swings you around to wear you're now on his back with your legs around his waist. "Let me show you something, darling." He says as he quickly opens a portal and steps through it.

The other Avengers immediately scramble to figure out where the two of you have gone and if you're safe. As the pair of you land on solid ground you look around and gasp loudly. You were in the ruined kitchen of the Bleeker Street Sanctuary just moment after you'd been betrayed. "Just watch." Stephen says quietly as he quickly uses his magic to conceal the both of you. Hours go by and suddenly a portal opens from the direction that Stephen and Tina had disappeared and out steps a heartbroken Stephen.

"No!" He chokes as he begins to dig through the rubble desperately. "No PLEASE! PLEASE!" He cries as tears begin to well up in his eyes. "Omega please come back!" He whimpers as he gives up and hangs his head as the tears begin to fall. "I'm so sorry, princess." He whispers right before another portal opens and a very pissed Tina storms through and grabs him by the throat. "Since you're so hellbent on trying to betray me, I guess I'll have to make it impossible for you! Face it, Stephen. (Y/N) will never want to be near you again after this!" She hisses as Stephen chokes. In his weakened state, he could do nothing to fight her off as she drug him back through the portal.

Stephen opens another portal to the right of you both and steps through and suddenly, you're in the same dank cell that Tina had kept you when she'd tortured you. Except it was Stephen who was now tied to the chair. "Tell me. That's all you have to do to make the pain stop!" Tina growls as she flicks her hands sending more thin glass slivers into Stephen. You have to bite down on Stephen's shoulder to keep from making any noises as horror courses through you and Stephen turns his head and presses a small kiss to your temple as the pair of you watch on hidden in the dark corridor.

"I...will never...betray (Y/N)...like that!" The past version of Stephen groans as blood drips from what looks like every inch of his skin. "Then I'll continue until you change your mind!" She says in a deathly quiet voice before she quickly opens both hands wide and suddenly glass shards shoot out of Stephen's skin causing him to scream in agony. On his back in the corridor, you were soaking the Cloak of Levitation with your tears as it gently wrapped around you as if to hug you. "Think you can watch more?" Stephen asks softly as he pulls you around to cling to his front.

"Is it more like this?" You sob as you wrap your arms around his neck. "In some parts yes. But...well. You'll just have to watch." He answers as he kisses you on top of the head. The more he soothes you the calmer you become until finally you lay your head against his chest and mumble, "As long as you warn me when there's about to be a bad part." He chuckles softly which causes you to smile. "Of course, darling. Let's go." He says softly as he let's go of you just long enough to open another portal and walk the two of you through it.

This time, the scene was immediately gory. Blood was splatted all over every surface but you couldn't see Stephen. "Kaecilius!" Tina sobs and you turn and watch her put her bloody hands up to her face as the older man looks down at her with his eyes filled with...rage? Disgust? Contempt? "How could you be this fucking stupid, Tina? You know the council will come for you and there is nothing that I can do to stop them!" He spits at her. "Kaecilius please! You and Stephen-" She began but was cut off as he raised a finger and she began to choke and grasp at her throat. "Do. Not. EVER! Suggest that again. He stole what should be rightfully mine. The Eye, the Cloak, both should be mine. And because you resorted to black magic and all your co-conspirators died in the process is not a good enough reason to help you!" He growls.

"Please!" She gasps still choking and now turning blue. He tilts his head and stares at her for a moment before he drops his hand and she gasps and coughs violently for several minutes before catching her breath. "You tried to tie Stephen to you permanently. You tried to bring others in on your futile plan. But the universe will not grant you what you seek to steal. You are an omega who is destined to be without an Alpha. That is the price the universe has seen fit to collect and so it shall be." Kaecilius says in an odd echoey voice. "Wait," You whisper as you watch from a walk in closet. "He said the universe has cursed her to be without an Alpha." You turn and look up at Stephen who smiles in the semi-dark and puts a finger to his lips. You nod and watch as Kaecilius turns and walks out of the bathroom and Tina follows behind drenched in the blood of her former coven members as she begs him to help her.

Stephen opens another portal and you feel like this might be the last memory you'll be seeing. As you both walk through you realize that you're in the library of Stark Tower. Tears immediately fill your eyes and Stephen hugs you tighter to him. "Just watch, honey." He says quietly as you watch the scene unfold from row to the left of where you'd been sitting. You hadn't noticed when you were living this scene out but then moment Stephen saw you, his eyes lit up as though he were seeing you for the first time. Tears quickly filled his eyes as he began walking towards you. "I'm sorry." You whispers brokenheartedly and Stephen begins rubbing your back. "Just watch." He whispers.

The inevitable screaming match takes place and you squeeze your eyes shut for most of it. It lived in your head rent free you didn't need it played out again in front of you. You barely open your eyes and watch as it takes Tony, Bucky, and Thor to hold Stephen back from running after you. "No. She needs time to cool off and so do you." Bucky says as he tightens his metal arm around his chest and Stephen grunts in pain. "Buck." Steve says as he walks over. "Please, just let me go see (Y/N)! I have to make sure nothing bad will happen!" Stephen whimpers and that's all it took. The tears you'd been fighting for what seemed like days finally broke free and you quickly clamped your hands over your mouth to keep quiet as Stephen opened a portal at the end of the row and picked you up and carried you through it.

You ended up back in the abandoned cathedral with it still raining just as hard as it had been and you clung to him as you sobbed, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Stephen very gently put you down and made sure you were steady on your feet before he wrapped his arms around you and whispered, "Darling, none of this was your fault. If anyone is to blame it should be me for not being honest about my feelings towards you and cutting off Tina before things got this bad." Your head immediately jerked up and you glared at the Alpha who towered above you in the pouring rain and growled, "Don't you DARE blame yourself! This was her fault! SHE was the one who captured us and tortured us halfway to insanity! SHE was the one who hacked into my internet and made me think all those horrible things about you! YOU....you slick bastard!" You looked up at him as it finally dawned on you what he'd done.

He'd forced you to finally realize that it wasn't your fault either by taking you through his most vivid memories of the past year without you. And as you realized this you looked up and saw that he was smiling. "You asshole!" You mutter as you wrap your arms around his waist and he leans down and kisses you softly on the forehead. "I'm sorry sweetheart but you know there was no other way to get you to realize that you weren't at fault either." He says as his kisses turn from soothing to needy as he kisses down the side of your face to your neck. "Stephen!" You moan as he backs you against one of the remaining pillars. He hums in response as you claw at his back and the Cloak very quickly unhooks itself and shoots off inside the building. The fact that a sentient piece of clothing was shy about sex caused you to chuckle softly but that chuckle soon turned into a needy moan as Stephen tore your clothes off your body.

"Fuck, honey!" He moans as he hits his knees as soon as your pants are removed. The heat that you'd thought you'd gotten rid of flared back into existence with a vengeance and you screamed as the cramps came along behind. "Shh, darling I'll make it feel better." Stephen says softly as he kisses up the insides of both of your thighs. You watch as he slowly unzips his pants and pulls his massive cock that's already shiny with precum out. "Look at what you've done, omega." He says as his voice grows deeper as he looks down at his cock as he begins to stroke it. When he looks back up at you his eyes are yellow and he grins darkly. "This is gonna be fun, sweetheart." He growls before he grabs you by the waist and pulls you to him. You yelp and go to ask him what he's doing but you feel his mouth between your legs and your brain goes completely blank.

"Oh fuuuuuck!" You gasp as you buck your hips. You feel rather than hear him chuckle as he continues to tease you with his tongue and mouth. "Alpha quit teasing dammit!" You whine as he takes his mouth off of you just before you reach your orgasm. His only response is a chuckle before he stands and slams his massive cock into you and that's all it takes for you to lose control. "ALPHA!" You scream and you start to orgasm. "Yes, love?" He growls in your ear as he fucks you through one after another. "D-Don't stop!" You pant as your nails claw down his back. "Oh I don't plan on it." He responds darkly as he opens a portal beneath the two of you and suddenly you're back in his bed inside the Sanctum as if you'd never even left. True to his word his spent many more nights making you scream his name in ecstasy over and over again and soon it was as if the terror of that dark year had never even happened.
