See me- Anakin finds out who it is that Obi was talking about in the last chapter.
Nuzzling the other
one last time before he left the quarters, Anakin favored Obi-Wan
with a soft smile that faded once his omega had closed the door
behind him. Only then did he allow himself to practically collapse
onto his couch to run his fingers through his hair in agitation he
hadn’t wanted to show Obi-Wan, conflict and denial in his throat
and curling in his belly.
And betrayal.
Sheev Palpatine had
been the one to expose the omegas to danger.
Obi-Wan had sussed
it out while at the Senate and had found undeniable proof which he
had handed over to the Council and Anakin had sensed no lie in
Obi-Wan. The other firmly believed what he’d told the council and
his shock over the person behind the plot had triggered a stress
heat.
There was nowhere
Anakin could hide from the truth as Obi-Wan saw it and that meant…
‘It means that
someone I thought I could trust with my very life set the omegas of
the Jedi order in danger. Almost got them captured by slavers and
pirates. Force some of them were under fifteen, they would have been
broken in and given to brothels… sold at auctions for high price to
private sadistic men and women.’
His breath hitched
at the thought, thinking of Obi-Wan, his pretty, powerful mate in a
collar, eyes on the floor and a broken slump to his shoulders as he
was chained to a bedpost and was unable to leave the room he was in,
essentially a cage for the redhead.
The image was
horrifying, it made Anakin want to vomit because Obi-Wan wasn’t
young, he would have gone to the brothel for a pretty sum even though
he was a Jedi and redhead. Or if he went into private hands it would
be to someone who had particular interests for him, someone who may
have forced kits on Obi-Wan and hurt him and-
With shaking hands
Anakin covered his face.
That was what Sheev
Palpatine had almost caused to happen, that was the danger he had put
the omegas in.
Not just Obi-Wan
but the children.
Because some of
them weren’t mentally aware and developed enough to be called
anything but children as they giggled in delight as Master Windu
showed them ‘magic’ tricks. And even that Anakin wouldn’t have
believed if he hadn’t seen it, Windu playfully making a coin appear
from behind the ear of a zabrak omega who had giggled in utter
delight and accepted the coin when the master had offered it to him
with a soft smile.
It made him wonder
if the Korun had found himself a new padawan despite it being war…
or maybe that was why he hadn’t taken the boy on, because of said
war and he didn’t want to drag him out onto the field even though
the little zabrak followed him around like a duckling when he could.
Force knew that
Anakin worried about Ahsoka who was Plo Koon’s padawan but she at
least was older and always kept under fierce guard by the Wolfpack
who adored her and Plo.
‘And that kid
could have ended up in pirates hands because of the Chancellor’s
actions.’ Anakin let his head fall back against the couch, staring
at the ceiling with his fingers rubbing at his scalp in an attempt to
calm himself, quiet growls escaping him.
Someone he thought
he could trust, someone he called a friend had tried to get the
omegas in trouble and Anakin wanted to know why. With that in mind he
got up to go and speak to the council and offer up his own personal
insight on the Chancellor.
After all, he was
often in the office and that could be valuable to them… hopefully.
‘If I can’t get
it out of the council, maybe Qui-Gon will be able to suss out some
information.’ He hoped as he pulled on his boots and went to
confront them.
