Chapter 19 - A Peaceful Night
They travelled non stop 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.
Dyllen snapped out commands and Linus noted with amusement that instead of giving Skye the usual shitty tasks, the alpha ignored the raven haired omega completely.
The omega stood next to his own horse 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,” Linus called, a smile hovering around his lips.
Stubborn old Dyllen might have listened after all.
He wasn’t sure if it was a peace offering or if Dyllen just didn’t want to deal with the omega while he thinks but either way, they usually rotat

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

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

“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

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

The river was within sight of their camp but they were heading downstream to where it apparently opened up into a small pool that’s good for swimming.Rockethad found it the day before when he was out hunting with Caige. Terniand Linus were already stripping out of their clothing and they looked up at his approach.Ternislipped into the small inlet off the main river with a contented sigh while Linus waited for him to get closer.“Britegot sick of me hovering and shooed me off to come for a swim too,” he explained, feeling a little awkward suddenly.He felt almost like hewas intruding somehow, but Linusgave him an easy smile before turning to wade into the water.“The water’s nice here, if a little on the cool side. A swim should take your mind off of things.”After a moment of dithering on the shore, Skyeshucked off his clothes and gingerly dipped a
