Chap­ter Five

THOREC

“So the Omega is some­where in Ashens or some­where around Lox Palace, in­tend­ing to cause may­hem.” Com­man­der Torin stared at Thorec with his steel-grey eyes. His eyes were lighter than Thorec’s, but no less stern. “Is that the gist of it?”

Thorec growled. “No, Com­man­der. I am re­spon­si­ble for her. I in­tend to bring her back to Ariyon. I just need the sup­port of my fel­low war­riors to stay out of my way as I search for her, and not harm, frighten, or fuck her if they find her.” He spoke in a con­trolled and tight tone, but frus­tra­tion roared up in­side him, threat­en­ing to burst at the idea that any of those things could po­ten­tially hap­pen to his Omega.

“This is not some­thing that you should have left your post for, Gen­eral,” Com­man­der Torin said. “The way­ward Omega can be dealt with by me. You should have re­ported it.”

“She is my Omega,” Thorec said.

Com­man­der Torin’s eyes nar­rowed. “How can she be your Omega? You met her a cou­ple of days ago.”

“I just know she is mine.”

Torin’s ex­pres­sion was hard. “You were with her?”

“Yes.”

“So you took this Omega within a day of meet­ing her,” his com­man­der said sternly. He shook his head. “If you had been at­tend­ing any of the many pair­ing events I in­vited you to, you would have the train­ing to con­trol your­self.”

“Train­ing would have made no dif­fer­ence, Com­man­der,” Thorec growled. “I still would have known she is mine. It’s in her scent and in her beauty. It’s in the way she looks at me, and the mo­ments be­tween us when we are to­gether.”

Torin stepped for­ward, his face dark­ened, un­til he was inches away from Thorec. “You al­ready know the em­peror has made as­sur­ances, Thorec. Not only to his em­press, but to the Omegas and to the peo­ple. The pair­ing events ex­ist for a rea­son. You can­not just take an Omega when­ever you hap­pen to come across one.”

Anger gripped Thorec. “She is not just any Omega,” he thun­dered. “She is mine. Just be­cause I didn’t meet her in a fuck­ing match­ing event does not mean she be­longs to me any less!”

Torin’s eyes flicked to his neck. “I don’t see any claim­ing bite on your throat, Thorec,” he said bit­terly. “If this Omega were asked if she’s yours, would she say yes?”

Thorec’s fin­gers twitched, and Torin be­came un­nat­u­rally still.

“It doesn’t mat­ter whether she agrees or not,” Thorec said evenly. “In­stincts can­not be de­nied.”

Torin watched him care­fully for a long mo­ment be­fore he spoke again. “The Lox will re­tain her,” he said fi­nally. “You will not get in­volved. If you in­sist on in­ter­fer­ing, you will be de­tained. Is that un­der­stood?”

Thorec roared, ex­plod­ing with the anger that had been build­ing up. “You have no right! I found her. She is mine. What­ever Al­phas she is here to seek will be de­stroyed by my hand. If you in­sist on in­ter­fer­ing, you will be de­stroyed as well!”

Dis­ap­point­ment and anger jumped into Torin’s face. “You would give up your po­si­tion as gen­eral?” he asked harshly, his voice low.
