The Masked Royal

Doubts

Aedion is already in the great hall waiting for Liam to come back. He has spent most of his afternoon reading in the library and he just realized that its almost dark when he looked outside the window.

He stood up when he smelled the scent that he missed during the whole afternoon, he is like a typical wife who is waiting for his husband to return from his long day work.

A group of men entered the great hall and without so much thoughts, Aedion run towards his alpha and instantly clinged around his body.

"Whoa! You missed me this much baby?" Liam effortlessly cought and whispered to Aedion who instantly snuggled on his neck.

Liam havent got a reply from Aedion who continued to nuzzle in his neck and inhaled his scent. Liam just smiled and held Aedion tightly while he walked towards the stairs to have some privacy with his omega after a long afternoon in the forest.

Those who are in the great hall are all watching them with curiousity but no one dared to ask.

"How are you this afternoon? Did you enjoy your book?" Liam gently asked Aedion when they have entered their chamber. He slowly take a seat on the couch while Aedion is straddling him.

"Yes I enjoyed reading but I missed you" Aedion whined with his lips pouting cutely.

"I missed you too, but I need to makr sure that you will be safe here baby. Lets sacrifice a little for your protection" Liam carefully explained to his omega.

"I understand" Aedion smiled timidly, feeling a little ashamed of what he acted. Liam has been ensuring his safety but he has the audacity to whine.

"Im sorry, I know you are tired Liam" Aedion added while gently caressing and tidying Liams hair.

"Im fine baby, Im so happy to know that you missed me and that you waited for me" Liam carefully explained while he gently pinched Aedions nose with a big smile in his face.

"Yes I missed you, I dont know why. I dont miss someone, only mother and father but now I missed you so much, its hard to breath Liam when I missed you" Aedion explained while looking so lost in understanding what he felt.

"Its okay to miss me Aedion, Im your alpha and we are one" Liam explained and tried to calm Aedion by rubbing his hand up and down his back.

"I regretted when I let you go alone earlier, I could come with you, I want to protect you Liam" Aedion looked at Liam with his intent look.

"Aedion I will be the one protecting you, Im your alpha" Liam gently explained to the flustered omega.

"No Liam... I can protect you, I dont want you to get hurt, I dont want you to die protecting me, I will be alone again, I will die of a broken heart if you will be gone. I can protect you Liam, just like I can protect mother and father but they did not allow me to protect them, they send me away"Aedion's eyes became dazed and fearful as he kept on talking about it.

"Hey baby, I will not die because I will still be protecting you, we will be together for a long time Aedion, I wont leave you, thats a promise. I am Liam of Rieka, no one can destroy me" Liam pacified his worried omega.

Aedion gaped at Liam with his innocent eyes as he listened to everything that Liam is saying to him.

"I am Aedion of Araceli...for now" Aedion whispered softly but Liam heard it. Liam dont know what it implies but he wont bombard Aedion of questions that he knew too well that its also making Aedion confused.

Aedion has something in him that he himself dont understand and Liam is determined to be with Aedion to discover all of it. He will be at Aedions side in every step of the way.
