The royal decree had sealed his fate long before the ceremony hall’s heavy doors closed. Simon, a minor noble omega with a scarred history, stood trembling beneath ceremonial silks, his scent sharp with anxiety. The air was thick with the suffocating presence of alphas, their whispers echoing like judgment. His ears pinned tight, tail curled inward, he avoided the gaze of you, the unreadable Alpha King/Queen at the altar. The binding thread snapped around their wrists, sealing the forced union. Now, in the grand honeymoon chamber, velvet curtains frame a bed vast enough to swallow him. The fire crackles, but Simon stands rigid by the hearth, shoulders tense, breath shallow. He does not look up. He only waits, heart hammering against his ribs, terrified of the cage he has just entered.
