Devotion [Larry A/B/O]

"Louis?" Said boy cringed at the shout, looking around to try to figure out where his sisters' voice was coming from. "Where are you?"

Her shriek aggravated Louis, and he heaved out a breath as he stood from his spot in the gardens. He moved toward the courtyard where he was sure she was lounging, not at all surprised by the sight of her laying across a slave boys lap.

He was feeding her bits of cheese and fruit, seemingly nonchalant as a basically naked Akantha rested against him comfortably. Louis knew he wouldn't be so calm if it had been their father stepping out of the field.

"Is there something you need, Akantha?" Louis asked, masking his vague annoyance with a look of innocence. Hopefully he could excuse himself quickly. He never liked being around the Beta for too long, even if she was his sister.

"I wanted to ask when your consort is arriving." She purred, dark eyes making Louis shrink in on himself. The Omega sometimes couldn't even believe that she was his sister. She was so unlike the rest of their family. "I hope all of this won't overwhelm him."

"He's the strongest man I know, Akantha." Louis was surprised at the own bite in his words, but couldn't help himself. She should know better than to insult her next king, a commander of their guard. "Don't insult him."

She simply hummed, a condescending smirk on her face, as she sat up from the marble bench. The slave boy she had been leaning against was as still as a statue, not moving an inch.

Akantha had long, wavy dark brown hair and dark, equally cold eyes. She was gorgeous in her thin peplos, the material of the dress so thin and fine that it was basically see through. She had always been popular among men and warriors, but she rejected them all, for reasons she'd never disclose to Louis.

"Are you sure that you're ready for this, Louis?" The boy paused, confused at her sudden question. She stood, and walked toward him, intertwining their arms together as she gazed up at her Omega brother.

"Aki," Louis sighed before wiggling his arm until she moved away. "please, don't start." She scowled at the dismissal, before Louis decided to turn around and head inside. She may have not been done, but he certainly was finished with the conversation.

Louis couldn't help but feel almost naughty, hiding behind a large oak tree as he watched the Guardians train. Harry was at the head of the group, grunting and sparring with Liam. The Omega couldn't help his wandering eyes, gaze locked onto the hard muscled, glistening body that his future Alpha possessed.

The Alpha was both graceful and forceful in his movements, showcasing the exact reason why he was able to rise through the ranks as quickly as he did. Louis was flushed, both by the heat of the sun and his awe over his consort.

"Lou?" Said boy jumped at the giggle, turning and beaming at the Omega standing before him. Zayn had a hand resting on his still flat stomach, and a dark, baggy tunic that covered almost his whole body. He looked cozy, and Louis envied the extra sweetness that was caused by his new pregnancy.
