Dyllen groaned as Linus stormed 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, Eician mirrored 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 his usually quiet and nonchalant voice.
Dyllen would have found it funny if he hadn’t been assigned the duty of keeping the other alpha in check while Eician helped Skye bring 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 1 - Coming Back
Skye wiped at his nose as the wagon he was hitching a ride on entered through the giant city gates.It had been so long since he had been home that he had forgotten the stink caused by so many people living in such close proximity.Four years in the countryside and small, poor villages would do that, he supposed. The omega shuddered as they rolled forward through the throngs of people, the wheels clacking on the uneven cobblestone street.It was busier than he remembered, but then, he was no longer used to so many people in one place. The rickety wagon came to a stop outside a familiar building and he hopped off, his small satchel in hand, thanking the driver.The beta farmer waved at him in farewell and his fare having already been paid, left without further ado. No doubt he had better things to do than babysit some unknown omega.Skye's nose twitched in protest as another wave of unwashed bodies assaulted his senses. Attempting to ignore it, he turned his attention to the building
Bonded Chapter 2 - Breaking News
The half- peeled potato rolled across the room unnoticed.“What?" Skye whispered, uncomprehending.“That's where all the money came from. It must have been a lot because they don't seem worried about money at all. Mom was furious when she found out. I think Dad agreed without saying anything to her. I'm not sure of the details. They won't say anything when they know I'm around."She lapsed into silence and Skye stayed frozen in place, trying to process the information.It made a horrible kind of sense.The way his mother acted, the way she flinched over the extra supplies, the sad looks she cast at him.She knew he had returned only to be given away to some alpha. She was a huge believer in love too, an arranged bonding must have shocked her.“So, all the repairs and the stocked cupboards..." he trailed off, unsure how to feel.It was too much, too fast, and he couldn't wrap his head around it.“The dowry we were given has saved many lives and will save countless more," a deep voice s
Bonded Chapter 3 - Father In Law
The day of reckoning came a week after his return to his home city of Ilaridge.In the early hours of the evening, a carriage pulled up in front of their humble abode after a message came the night before.His mother and sister had spent their morning scrubbing him within an inch of his life so he would leave a good first impression.Skye gathered up his new clothing and what few possessions he wanted to take with him before leaving his family behind.He didn't know what to expect, none of them did.The King had been close-lipped about what his own son planned and for all he knew, he could just as well find a station in the palace and get to see his family on the morrow as he could leave to never return.It was all up to his mate and his whims.Arranged matings weren't unusual even amongst the common folk but his family had been formed on love.His mother was a big advocate of free-will and ‘trusting in your heart’ kind of thing.A strange sort of calm had settled over Skye in the wee
Bonded Chapter 4 - Betrothed
Linus suppressed a sigh as he strode through the lavish halls of his family home.The walls were hung with grand tapestries and glittering vases sat in every nook and cranny. It was a far cry from his preferred haunts of dark taverns and the cold beauty of a night out under the stars.Still, you couldn't help who you were born to and he couldn't deny using his privilege over the years.The youngest son of the King was a prestigious position. Also, as boring as it was stifling.Linus would have renounced his claim to the throne years ago if his father had allowed it, he had three siblings in line in front of him to keep the line going. He was the backup of a backup.The King had refused to allow him to cast off his family ties, but it had its perks. It had allowed him the best tutors throughout his childhood without the pressure to conform to the rules.No one had foreseen him forming a mercenary band, but he discreetly took care of the crown’s dirty work so no one said anything in the
Bonded Chapter 5 - The Newcomer
Pushing the door open to his favorite inn, Linus pushed off his tenseness like shrugging off a coat.The back tables were taken up by his men and their very presence soothed him.Scoundrels the lot of them but he trusted them with his life. He knew they had his back no matter what happened. Sitting amongst them was the only time he truly relaxed and after the shock he had received, he needed that.“Boss!" his third in command, Brite, called out as he waved him over.The yellow haired man’s grin faltered as he spotted the two trailing after him and Linus could almost feel the alpha’s attention on the omega.“Omega?" Dyllen, his second in command, questioned. “Is there something you need to tell us, Boss?"The mood of the table changed from relaxed and joking to alert in a moment but Linus waved them off.“My Uncle Keigo," he said waving to the jovial alpha following him before moving his attention to the omega, “And my arranged mate, Skye."The omega in question stared around the table
Bonded Chapter 6 - Their First Night
“All right, I'm done for the evening," Linus said as he stood, pushing his last tankard away.He had slowed down after the third drink so he only buzzed a little with the alcohol. The last thing he wanted was to be a sloppy drunk on his mating night with the poor, frightened omega.Skye stared up from his seat with wide eyes as the alpha beckoned him up. Jeers met his words, and he ignored the lewd suggestions and jokes.“Do you even know how to do it with an omega, Boss?"“I'll be disappointed in you if he can walk straight in the morning!"The omega flushed red and determinedly stared a hole on the floor as he avoided everyone's gaze.His uncle was clearly unhappy with how the evening had progressed but to be frank, his men would be like this on the road as well, the omega may as well get used to it now.The alpha slipped his arm around his mate's shoulders and steered him to the stairs at the back of the building. He waved dismissively over his shoulder at his band. They were tryi
Bonded Chapter 7 - Honeymoon
The omega gasped at his thick cock standing tall and proud with his overwhelming need.The alpha grinned as he pulled Skye down onto the bed with him. He sat against the headboard with his mate perched awkwardly on his lap.The omega’s awkwardness probably had more to do with the cock poking at his ass than the position of straddling his lap.Linus reached both arms around the omega to pull him in for more kisses.One arm steadied Skye’s waist while the other trailed lower to slip between wet cheeks. He groaned as his fingers slipped easily on the copious amount of slick to circle at the tight hole he wanted inside of.“Oh!" Skye gasped out, eyes wide.“I'm going to make you feel so good," Linus husked out as he moved to suckle at his mate's neck.He had never been with anyone, and this was the first time he had ever felt this aroused. Something that he never thought he would actually feel.Skye threw his head back with a small whine as Linus easily slipped a finger inside. The alpha
Bonded Chapter 8 - Their First Morning
Waking up was a wonderful, soft, warm feeling until Skye felt the body underneath him move.Then the events of the day before doused his sleepiness like a bucket of cold water and he jerked upright.Deep grumbles met his movements and he looked around to find the blond haired alpha stretched out in the middle of the bed.Linus opened one eye to look at him before closing it again with a sigh.“You seem awfully surprised to see me," the alpha's voice was gravelly with sleep, and it was surprisingly alluring.Skye went to speak but the healed teeth marks on the other's skin stopped him. Instead, he tentatively reached out to trace a finger along the scar.He must have healed it unconsciously in his sleep as normally, it would still be a raw wound.“I don't know what I expected," Skye admitted, embarrassed. “I'm not used to sleeping with anyone."He flushed at the unintended second meaning of his words and gave a nervous laugh.“This is not a bad way to wake up," Linus opened his eyes pr

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
