The Walking Dead A/B/O Rewrite

53

Jesus and Carol returned from The Kingdom with the news of the other community wanting to join in the protect Daryl and take the Sanctuary down. Rick still felt broken, every moment around him seemed to be crashing, his daughter was gone. His son had almost been taken and as far as he was concerned Rosita believed he wasn't doing a good enough job at trying to get better, trying to get back to being the prime he was before. A true prime who was strong and could handle his people and save his omega.

He was determined to come back and take his omega back, bring his life back. Have his life back.

"The king wants a meeting, he wants to see the people he is to help protect, he wants to know we are trust worthy and worth the help. Worth protecting." Carol explained.

"I can handle that, how many people do they have?"

"Plenty of people, double our numbers, not all of them are fighters. Most likely less than half are able to wield any weapon but the ones who can are supposedly good with their weapons. Good at fighting. They're also under contract with the saviors, it's been a bloody fight for many of us. For us and them, are you willing to meet with him, Rick?"

"I am, I-." He turned to look at Rosita who gave him a dark look. "I'm ready to step back up, get.. Get better after that day. It isn't going to be easy, fuck everyday is going to hurt. Everyday is going to kill me knowing Daryl will never fully be mine again but I'm willing to fight for this, fight for him. Fight for us."

It had been a while since the pack felt like Rick was even close to half of who he was before that night. He had been so much more to them, and he was still that man in their eyes, but hell it broke them to see their prime get knocked down a few pegs. The trip to the Kingdom felt long, every moment Rick spent thinking about what Daryl must be going through. Who Daryl was becoming, and if the pregnancy was real or not, he prayed it wasn't but he also couldn't handle the idea of Daryl losing another pup in this world.

It was hell enough.

He was at least thankful that if Daryl was pregnant they had walls, both the Sanctuary, Alexandria, and Hilltop and he knew that The Kingdom must have something to keep themselves around thai long.

He just prayed that everything turned out okay, that in the end he would have his omega back. He needed his omega back.

As the group entered The Kingdom it was clear this place was different. It had a strange air about it, almost fantastical and he wasn't sure how to handle that. As they were led to the amphitheater Rosita was dumbfounded to see a tiger. Rick held his hand up pressing Carl back against the female alpha. Carol patted his shoulder trying to calm him. "It's okay," She tried to ease him. "Tiger won't eat you or your boy."

"Carol it's a fucking tiger."

"I'm aware, this alpha has a tiger. Some people have tigers. Some people have tigers, some people don't."

"It.. I-"

"Shush alpha," Carol whispered, "he's coming."

Rick grew silent as he watched 'The King' enter the room. He sat beside Shiva petting her softly. "Welcome friends. Who is the alpha here?"

Rick stepped forward. "My name is Rick Grimes, this is my son Carl. Negan took his arm from him, and took my mate. As far as we are aware he has knocked my mate up as well."

Ezekiel looked over the pup, concern wafted from the king. "Harming a pup, even one coming of age, is unacceptable. Come forward boy."

Carl looked to his father with concern but he nodded and allowed Carl forward. He examined his arm and eye. "I'm sorry boy."
