Chapter 18 - Back On The Road
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Come on, that’s Trace politely telling us to hurry the hell up. We don’t know if the attackers were just desperate and trying to take a risky opportunity or if they were targeting us specifically, but we don’t want to hang around and find out if they have friends in the area.”
Skye nodded in understanding and looked around in the dim undergrowth for his discarded nightwear. His pants were just behind him and his shirt only needed straightening while Linus was fully clothed having only pulled his pants down.
A few knowing grins were cast their way when they walked back into the camp but Skye ignored them in favor of helping Lejend saddle up Moya, one of the last horses to be saddled.
“Feeling better, Boss?” Caige asked with a cheeky grin from atop his own horse, a flaming torch in hand lighting up his face.
“Much, but you wouldn’t understand,” Linu

They travelled nonstop until it was late afternoon, eating in the saddle, to put as much distance between them and the corpses of the fools who tried to off them in the night.They found a good clearing just off the road near a small stream and dismounted.Dyllensnapped out commands and Linusnoted with amusement that instead of giving Skyethe usual shitty tasks, the alpha ignored the raven haired omega completely.The omega stood next to hisownhorse after sliding off less than gracefully, although at least he didn’t fall anymore, looking bewildered.“Looks like it’s your turn for a free night, Cherub,” Linuscalled, a smile hovering around his lips.Stubborn old Dyllenmight have listened after all.He wasn’t sure if it was a peace offering or if Dyllen just didn’t want to dealwith the omega while he thinks but either way, they usually rotat
Bonded Chapter 20 - First Dance
In the end, both alphas were left barefoot and shirtless with only their pants on. Some of Skye’s alarm must have shown because Britereached over to pat his shoulder with a chuckle.“Don’t worry, they’ll both just have a few bruises but nothing serious.Sometimes alphasjust need to hit something, trust me,” Britesaid with a wink.“Shouldn’t they have armor on or something?” Skyeasked, his eyebrows furrowed as Dyllenmoved forward, stances changing as he raised his wooden sword.Ternihurriedly crawled out of the way and joined them at the campfire.“Nah, it would just slow them down and get sweaty,” Urkanereplied, his deep voice tinged with humour as he sat at the fire, a small knife and a pot of vegetables in hand.Urkane settled down to peel the root vegetables while keeping one eye on the fight.“It might not look i

Skyewas painfully aware of thepairs ofeyes on them and he only reluctantly agreed.He was just starting to fit in, he didn’t want to cause a scene or embarrass himself with his clumsy steps.It seemed that now his alpha has decided, Linus mate was determined to teach him how to dance. His mate slowed down Trace’s tempo even more before he was happy as he led Skyeto a small clearing just beyond the campfire.The night was creeping in on them and most of the light came from the fire now, casting the shadows of the band on them where they stopped.The alpha positioned himselfin front of him and showed him the step in whatever dance he had chosen for them.Skyestared at his feet but still stumbled each time they tried to put the steps together and Caige’s occasional teasing didn’t help matters, even with Briteshushing him.“And now you just need to follow my le
Bonded Chapter 22 - Not A God
Linusnearly balkedwhen he was assigning tasks to each of the band members to complete during their brief stopover in the small farming community of Brinegrasp. He hadn’t been able to banish the images of a glowing, pregnantSkyefor daysnowafter seeing him with children at Athelneyand even now,they surfaced unbiddenin his mind. The last thing he wanted was to invite his mind to conjure up even more images by accompanying the omega,but he was his mate, so the task fell to him. The very fact that thought didn’t alarm him as much as it did the first time was, in itself, alarming. Thankfully, so far,the only ones who had visited their makeshift clinic on the villageMillvalleywere all beyond their teenage years. They were a cautious lot here, mostly untrusting of strangers, and Linusdidn’t blame them. Brinegraspwas technically counted in the
Bonded Chapter 23 - A Hopeless Case
“That’s not good enough!”the woman stepped forward; hand outstretched as though to grab the omega but Linusstepped in front of his mate with a low growl of warning.Distress rolled off Skyein waves and it had his jaw clenching with the need to soothe him.He half turned to give the sheepskin to Skyebefore facing the woman again, stance set, ready to do whateverwasnecessary.“Kashiko,” the mayor stepped forward, trying to placate the woman.“Calm down, there’s no need to yell.”She slapped the mayor’s hand away and stood toe to toe with Linus, red faced and screaming as she poked his chest. “Move! I want him to cure my girl!”“He said he can’t do it, so fuck off,” Linussnarled back, hand inching towards the sword at his hip.“He’s lying! Filthy omega- ” she was cut off abruptly as s
Bonded Chapter 24 - Foolishness
Linusstretched having just awoken.The sounds of quiet activity greeted his ears as the early risers set about organizingbreakfast. The distinct sound of Urkanesnoring quietly off to the left and the faint light tickling his eyelids suggested it was still too early to be up just yet.He stretched again, working out more of his muscles but stopped at a sleepy protest beside him.Glancing down showed Skyecurled up on the sheepskin, eyes closed with a frown on his face as he tried to move back into his place against Linus’s chest.The alpha smiled at the image, feeling oddly warm at the unconscious desire to be close to him that his mate showed.They had curled up together early the evening prior, Linusdeciding that maybe the comfort of the soft wool under his cheek wasn’t such a bad thing. Skyehad certainly seemed to find comfort in it, which was exactly what the devastated omega needed af

Carefully sliding his mate from his lap, Linustook one of Dyllen’s legs with Urkanetaking the other.Briteand the bulky beta Yashtook an arm each as Dyllenthrashed, trying to get free.There was some strength in the movements, but it felt oddly lacking and the alpha was easy enough to hold down.Skyepulled the alpha’s pants down and Linuscould almost hear thedirtyjoke die in Caige’s throat as an oozing bandage was revealed.Skyecursed again as he held his hand over it, the silverglow showing his healingDiyaribeing activated.“It’s festering. I need a small sharp knife sterilizedby fire, clean water, and the medical kit.”Caigeand Lejendleapt to gather the required items as Skyeslowly pulled away the haphazard bandage.Dyllengroaned in pain and the smell of disease and rot hit all
Bonded Chapter 26 - Easing Up
Skyefrowned down at his charge as he reached out with his healing to assess how the wound was doing.The few hours he had rested brought little change to the alpha, other than a heightened fever, but that wasn’t unusual.The body could take a long time on its own and Dyllenwas still too weak to heal again.Britehad kept a cold compress across Dyllen’s forehead and a sharp eye on his features, looking for any of the tell-tale signs that he was deteriorating, but so far,he had remained stable. That was a plus, at least.The biggest problem now was that all they could do was wait.In the past,when he was training in Aldea, he would have other patients or some task that needed his attention to occupy his time. Now though, they were all stuck until Dyllenwas well enough to be moved and that would be at least another day or two.No one seemed to mind, other than Caigewho keeps mak

Bonded Epilogue - Healed
Months passed…Dyllengroaned as Linusstormed into their bedroom looking wild-eyed and panicked.The darkness invading the room where the flickering candlelight of Linus’s lantern didn’t reach gave him an idea how late it still was.He certainly felt like he hadn’t gotten the chance to sleep at all. Beside him, Eicianmirrored the groan but neither of them dallied as they sat up.They knew the reason for Linus’s sudden visit.“She’s coming!” he exclaimed, a slight note of hysteria in hisusually quiet and nonchalantvoice.Dyllenwould have found it funny if he hadn’t been assigned the duty of keeping the other alpha in check while Eicianhelped Skyebring their daughter into the world.Between the two omegas with their Healing Sight, they had determined the baby’s gender early on, allowing them to
Bonded Chapter 80 - Love All Around
Thank fuck no one else was around because Dyllensounded like nothing but a prepubescent teen, voice breaking on every other word.Why the fuck was this so hard when Eicianhad already given his fucking answer?“I, uh…” he tried to continue but was distracted by his lover.Eician’s eyes were wide but a huge grin slowly took over his face. He looked positively radiant in that moment and he grabbed Dyllenby the shoulders, tipping his toes and aggressively pulling him in for a kiss.The passion startled Dyllenbut he returned the kiss with equal vigour. His omega’s small body pressed up against his as their lips clashed together and Dyllenpulled him in even closer.Eician’s scent enveloped him like a drug, the smell a mixture of need and want.“I love you,” Dyllenwhispered against Eician’s lips, not wanting to pull apart from his mate.T
Bonded Chapter 79 - The Final Step
The would-be assailant tumbled to the ground, taken completely by surprise, and Dyllenwasted no time in ending his life.Eiciangasped as he watched in horror, turning away at the last minute.The sound of the man being run through turning his stomach and he heard Skyewhimper in distress, no doubt feeling the same. Linusrushed past him in a blur of movement to scoop up his mate in his arms.Turning, Eicianfound himself face to face with Dyllen’s chest before he was also scooped up in a fiercely protective hug, his feet leaving the ground. He didn’t even remember dropping the dagger but nothing remained in his hands, he realized.“I’m okay,” he whispered, sounding as strangled as he felt.He patted Dyllenon the back but the alpha seemed reluctant to loosen his hold. It was comforting to be so close to his alpha after their harrowing event, and he knew Dyllenwo
Bonded Chapter 78 - The One Who Protects
A few moments ago… Eicianwatched with wide eyes as he saw the side of his lover he knew existed but had never seen. Almost immediately upon leaving the house, the alpha came across a single man, a bandit by the look of the mismatched armoured and dirty appearance. Dyllensnarled as he swung his sword with such force and precision that he cut the man down in one blow. The alpha stood there for a moment, head moving as he scanned the battlefield and his entire being radiated power. It was a confidence in his movements, a surety in each step, combined with a steely aura of determination and cold anger. It was as breathtaking as it was scary. Eicianfound that he didn’t fear Dyllen, not now that he knew the man underneath, but right in that moment, covered in the blood of the man he killed, his alpha was intimidating. The omega looked to the side to see the three kids with him watchin

“That’s the alarm!” Eicianexclaimed, sitting up on the bedin alarm.“It is,” Dyllenagreed as he armoured up lightning fast, years of practicein similar situations making the task easy.Once done, he pulled open their bedside table drawer and reached in to grab out a long, sharp dagger. He’d had the blade for as long as he’d been on the road, jokinglynaming it ‘Dyllen’s Claw. It was deadly sharp so it could cleanly skin and gut game they found on the road.“Take this,”holding out the knife to his omega, he waited for him the grab it.Eician’s hands shook as he took the weapon but he clenched it tightly and didn’t ask any questions. All he did was nod, that look of grim determination taking over his beautiful features even as his limbs trembled with his fear.Whoever called omegas weak was a fool.Eicianmight be
Bonded Chapter 76 - His Diyari
Eicianfollowed him, shivering as they left the cosy warmth of the kitchen.He wanted to go back to the kitchen fire or even better, curl up in bed with Dyllen.With the alpha taking the second night watch, he’d been hoping Dyllenwould come back for a morning nap before his second shift and he could somehow get away with staying curled up in bed all morning.Instead, they were trudging over the frosted ground towards the stables. As they approached, he spotted three of the UAalphas standing beside the horse enclosure fence with three of Dyllen’s kids. Though he supposed, they were kinda his kids too.He missed a step at the thought and stumbled, catching himself before he fell. It left a warm feeling in his chest that matched the heat building in his cheeks.“Careful,” Skyecautioned as he waved to his mate as they headed past them. “It’s slippery with the ice.”Af
Bonded Chapter 75 - A Morning Of Frost And Snow
Eicianslowly became aware of where he was.When he stretched out his hand, he found no warm body on the bed beside him. He must have fallen asleep on Dyllenstraight away afterwards. Disappointment flashed through him when he realizedthat Dyllenwasn’t still in bed with him until he remembered that he had the second night watch.Ah, well, he could stay in his warm nest and doze until the alpha returned. He realized that the alpha must’ve cleaned him down while he slept. The thought sent embarrassment coursing through him but more than that, warmth flooded at the sweet and considerate action.He was just drifting back off to sleep when a knock interrupted him.The door opened almost immediately after and he groaned when a familiar chirpy voice greeted him.“Morning, Eician!” Skyewasn’t the biggest morning person but he was always chirpy once he’d woken up. “Com

“Dyllen!” Linussaid, appearing in the doorway looking relieved.“I just wanted to chat, if you’re free…?”“Sure thing, let’s go!” the other alpha grabbed his arm and yanked him from the house.Dyllengrunted at the force but let himself be dragged away. The look of complete desperation on his friend’s face had Dyllenfeeling a little less stupid over his own drama.“Is it okay to leave him?” Dyllenquestioned as they strode in a random direction, bypassing the mess hall where everyone was gathering for food.“Yep, I can’t be fucked arguing with him anymore. Teruo’s always been an incompetent idiot but I can’t believe he’s still employed in the palace. If anything happens, it’s my father’s fault for coming when we weren’t prepared,” Linusgrumbled, looking ruffled. He was dressed but h

Dyllenpaced slowly along his patrol line, desperately trying to keep his focus on his task.Kadencetrotted along beside him, looking uninterested. The beta had started out full of alertness due to his worry but it quickly morphed into tired boredom.Unlike Dyllen, who was wide awake and far from bored.Memories of Eiciansitting above him, body flushed with his pleasure, eyes blown black, and lips puffy,haunted him. As did the musical sound of his omega’s moans, playing in a loop through his head.It had been pure torture to have such a sexy little thing bouncing in his lap and not take care of his own needs but his need to look after Eiciankept him in check.Right up until Eicianopened his sinful lips to utter those words. Nothing could have stopped Dyllenafter being asked- no, begged- like that.After that, it had been a mission to not throw him to the bed and swarm over him, pre
