Chapter 49- His New Home
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Eician was shaking by the time they made it inside and he collapsed into his seat at the table, setting his forehead against the cool wood.
While he had been thankful for Dyllen standing up for him and explaining his situation to the others so they understood, the alpha had been terrifying.
It had taken him all his willpower not to bolt inside at the cold power in the alpha’s voice.
Skye petted his hair, and he looked up at the omega smiling kindly down at him.
“You did a lot better than I thought you would. This morning you couldn’t even speak in front of Dyllen!”
“I think I’m just t- too tired to be so tense,” Eician replied tiredly. He felt exhausted suddenly, the stress of the day catching up with him.
“Maybe you should have a nap before dinner, you’ve had a big day.”
Eician nodded but made no move to get up. He felt completely

The next few days were a blur of meeting new people, learning his way around the tiny settlement, and discovering what was required of him as part of his training.Eician wasn’t sure what was worse: trying to take in all the names and faces of the people here or trying to remember what Skyewas telling him about the herbs and medicines he used.The other omega was quick to reassure him that he didn’t expect him to remember much straight away but he would keep explaining what he was doing so it would eventually stick with him.It wasn’t particularly reassuring when Skyecheerfully reminded him that they used a particular herb only yesterday, but Eicianhonestly didn’t remember.The alpha presence in the village didn’t help matters. There were four alpha males from the Silvermist Company, one old alpha farmer, two newcomers, and the female alpha. Dahliadidn’t set him off as much as

“Whyhavewe gotta do this?” Kadencemoaned as he hung back by the stable door.The beta had continued to be outspoken with his criticisms and complaints over their first few days together and Dyllenwas losing what little patience he had.Again.He seemed to lose it every day where the beta was concerned.None of the other kids had such an issue with the work but Kadenceseemed to be rubbing off on the others as Saamalso balkedat the sight of the manure-filled stable floors.Dahlia, the one Dyllenthought he’d have the most trouble with, was oddly meek for an alpha. It seemed like she was fighting her very nature and it left her open to the others.Kadenceneeded to be taken down a few pegs but not just by Dyllen.The dynamics of their little group were slowly setting, and he didn’t approve of Kadencebecoming something of a leader with his atti
Bonded Chapter 52 - Picking Up Stray
Dyllenleft the mess hall after dropping off his kids with Urkaneand Yashto help with dinner preparations.He hoped that having six helpers would make up for the fact that each of them would be slow as shit as peeling and cutting vegetables. It was the first time they were helping prepare meals for the band and the amount of food required was quite impressive with their thirteen additions.More importantly, he was hoping Yashwould rub off on Kadence. The beta was levelheaded and approachable-things that Kadenceneeded that Dyllendidn’t have.He shivered as the breeze picked up, ruffling his fresh clothing. The stream they had washed the smell of horses and manure off with had been freezing and the chill hadn’t yet left his bones.He must be getting old; it had been a few hours since their bath. The free afternoon had been a muchneeded rest disguised as a reward.Already t
Bonded Chapter 53 - Eye Of The Storm
Eiciandithered in the kitchen, putting off going out into the noisy hall where everyone was eating.Even some beta families joined in the mess hall meals and there were too many people that Eiciandidn’t know for him to be comfortable. And more importantly, there were six alphas out there, seven if you included Dahlia.Although…after spending the last few hours in the company of Dyllen, Dahlia, and Urkane, Eicianfound himself less affected by their presence.Dahliawas easy to get used to: she was young, respectful, and a girl.The alpha that had abused Eicianhad been an older male. Both Dyllenand Urkanewere the oldest alphas in the group and being male, they should have triggered Eicianthe most. Yet now, he found himself cringing at Brite’s loud, boisterous voice calling out from across the hall.Urkanewas steady and calm. His deep voice had been almost soot

“So he can talk! I was beginning to think you were mute,” Britesaid with a grin and Eicianlocked up at the suddenness of his appearance. “It’s good to see you here with us for dinner, you should join us more often!”It almost pained Eicianto be so ill at ease in Brite’s presence. It was clear that the alpha was generally friendly and outgoing, but he didn’t know how to react to such enthusiasm.“Oi, you’re too loud. Fuck off back to your own table,” Dyllencut in abruptly. He scowled at Briteand Eiciannoted the way it was different to his usual face.He tucked away the information for later; hopefully, it would make it easier to judge the alpha’s mood.“I’m just saying hello,” Britereplied with a mock pout. “I don’t see Cherub here tonight. Is he okay?”Eicianopened his mouth to answer on
Bonded Chapter 55 - Sharing Moments
The room was dark and most of the occupants still slept, barring one or two early risers who moved about quietly.Dyllenwould usually be asleep still but the discomfort of the wooden floorboards after monthsofsleeping in a bed had kept his sleep short. Pulling on his day clothes, Dyllenlooked around at his still slumbering kids before deciding to leave them be.He didn’t feel like dealing with any grumpy teens in his curiously content mood. They could get up when the rest of the band did or risk missing breakfast.The mess hall was empty when he arrived, the fires from the previous night nothing but ash, leaving the room to take on the early morning chill.Noise came from the kitchen but Dyllenignored it in favour of collecting wood from the large covered stack outside the building. Not much point starting both fires when the morning chill would burn off soon enough but he would appreciate one of them goin
Bonded Chapter 56 - The Rebel
They had discovered a wild strawberry patch near where Lejendwas building his cabin away from the main compound area and they had covered it to protect it from the birds.While Dyllenenjoyed the sweet autumn fruits, he knew from experience that omegas all generally had a sweet tooth. If Eicianwas anything like Skyewas with honeycomb, he would rather the omega enjoy the fruit instead.From the corner of his eye, he watched as Eicianstopped, spoon venturing back to the bowl for another helping, and blinked at his own bowl.After a long moment, the still halfasleep omega turned to Dyllenand positively beamed at him.Dyllenfroze in surprise at the look of pure bliss on the omega’s face as he popped one of the extra strawberries into his own mouth.It took a great effort of will to ignore the happy noises Eician made as he ate but Dyllenwas aware that hisownheart had pic
Bonded Chapter 57 - Mistakes
If Eicianreally couldn’t have kids, then he’d probably felt like a useless omega at some point or another.Wasn’t bearing children the entire point of being an omega?They were the ultimate parents.Not that Dyllencared one bit- hell, he was fucking terrified of babies. As far as he was concerned,that didn’t change his interest.But that’s not what Eicianwould have heard.No, he heard an alpha he seemed to like calling him useless.No wonder the omega had fucking bolted.He had hit a sore point of the omega’s past as surely as Kadencehad hit a point of Dahlia’s.Dyllenhad already put together Dahlia’s quiet personality together along with the unusual choice of name for an alpha girl and worked out that her parents were hoping for an omega.“Looks like Pafucked up his chances for a mate.

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
Bonded Chapter 77 - War Mode
“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
Bonded Chapter 73 - A Friend In Need
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
