The omega's chamber was serene, the air thick with the comforting aroma of lavender and the gentle glow of candlelight casting dancing shadows upon the intricately carved walls. His Grace, the doe-eyed omega, sat across from Adryn, listening intently as the mysterious visitor shared fragments of wisdom veiled in silence. The omega’s gaze was a blend of warmth and curiosity, each word from Adryn stirring questions within him, though he sensed that not all would be answered today.

But the tranquility of the moment was shattered as the chamber doors swung open with a force that resonated through the room. The former Alpha—Namjoon—entered, his steps echoing with an unusual urgency, his gaze sharper than the omega had ever seen. The usually calm and measured former Alpha’s face was taut with frustration, his focus narrowing instantly upon Adryn.

The former Alpha’s presence cast a chill across the room, and the doe-eyed omega felt the weight of the change, startled by Namjoon’s abrupt demeanor. The omega, still seated, looked up in silent question, though Namjoon’s stern gaze did not soften. His voice, usually warm and grounded, rang out cold and clipped.

“And who,” the former Alpha demanded, his voice laced with suspicion, “are you to be wandering the palace without announcement? How did you find your way into the Luna’s chambers?”

Namjoon’s words hung heavy in the air, and His Grace, the doe-eyed omega, found himself momentarily at a loss. The sharpness in the former Alpha’s tone was something he had never experienced, and it weighed upon him like a tangible presence. He remained silent, too taken aback to respond, still trying to understand the shift in Namjoon’s once-gentle manner.

Seeing that the omega offered no reply, Namjoon’s expression darkened, his eyes hardening as he turned his attention back to Adryn with a look of unrestrained suspicion. “In the throne room—now,” he commanded, his words leaving no room for protest as he turned on his heel, robes trailing behind him as he exited.

The omega sat in silence, still stunned, his heart unsettled by the unfamiliar edge in Namjoon’s tone. The former Alpha had always treated him with the utmost respect, his words filled with wisdom and calm. Yet now, something was different—darkened, altered in a way he could scarcely comprehend.

Adryn, who had watched Namjoon with an unreadable expression, spoke softly, breaking the silence. “Why was the former Alpha so… harsh? It is as if he has changed.”

The omega looked at Adryn, his gaze troubled. “You know His Majesty?” he asked, a mixture of confusion and curiosity evident in his voice.

Adryn nodded slightly, his gaze steady. “Yes, I have traveled through this world many times, and I know well who they are.” His tone carried an air of familiarity that made the omega wonder just how much more there was to this mysterious visitor than he initially thought.

The omega nodded slowly, absorbing this unexpected revelation. With a soft sigh, he rose from his seat, his silken robes flowing elegantly as he gestured toward the door. “Then we should go. His Majesty… he seemed displeased.”

Adryn hesitated, his gaze lingering on the omega. “I must ask you one thing,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. “Please, do not reveal who I am, or the nature of our conversation, to anyone. Something feels amiss with the former Alpha’s presence, and I fear there are things yet unseen.”
