Taming The Alpha

Travel to the Doiltean

One day before the great wedding, the Cleite clan were reunited at the same point that they were at Damien's celebration. This time, a different aura fulfilled the ambience. Instead of feeling joyful energy, it was a gloomy one. Everyone was so curious about the reason why they were reunited there, when the moon was now waning.

"My people", Heinrich said out loud, once everybody was reunited, "We have an announcement to make to all of you. As you may have heard, our heir, Damien, is going to get married. We'd like to confirm right now that he is, in fact, going to get married to a noble from the Doiltean clan".

Everybody was shocked about confirming the wedding thing, but worse than being with somebody from the Doiltean Clan. So, lots of people started complaining about it.

"Why is that? Our omegas aren't good enough?"

"Why on earth would our heir get married to a filthy Doiltean".

"They are our enemies, we don't need to have anything to do with them".

Heinrich asked everyone to stay calm, but no one was willing to accept the union, but it was too bad for them, because the wedding was a fact now, and Damien was going to leave the clan that night.

People were infuriated by the wedding news, that they even wanted to ask Damien directly about it. The young heir was not willing to say a single word, until he saw among the people yelling at him, he saw Amanda. His heart hurtled a lot just to see her, and even when he knew that his mother was talking to her, he needed to say something to his now ex-girlfriend.

"This is a peace agreement. As your heir and future leader, I ask everyone to your comprension. An agreement has been made, and as an honorable man I will accomplish it. They asked for a certain time of marriage, and I agreed with them, I am not doing anything against my will. Also, do not be afraid of what could happen, because I will do everything to make things better for all of you. This is the start of a time of peace".

There were only a few who accepted his words, because almost no one in the clan wanted anything to do with the Doiltean, and saw that wedding as a betrayal. However, nothing could be done against it, because a few minutes later, the royal caravan went out on the way to Doiltean territory.

The three members of the royal family went onboard in the caravan. It was already midnight when they started their journey, so anything they could do was sleep before their arrival. But Damien could not sleep along the entire road, neither could Gealach. Heinrich was so upset that he preferred to fall asleep before talking with anyone of them, leaving both son and mother to talk between them.

"I still have my doubts", Damien said after some time. "I still can't figure why Alexander Doltean would want me to marry him. Also, I could not say anything to Amanda. She must be very upset, thinking that I am a coward".

"Don't think that, my dear. Amanda loves you, and I tried to talk to her and explain, but she got mad. Anyways, every time you come to visit us you can see her too, and... why don't you make her your lover?" That was not the best recommendation, but the terms that the Doilteans exposed did not say anything about having lovers. So it was still an option.

"I could do it, I just need time to do it". Damien was a reasonable man, and he was aware that this was an arranged marriage, without any kind of feelings between Alex and him... or well, at least he did not love Alex. But then there was another issue.

"But what if I got pregnant? Like, really got pregnant". That was another thing that was making things harder, because how could he carry a baby inside him?

Gealach could think about something since she was a very smart woman, but at the thought of a pregnancy, there were no answers about how Damien could have an affair in that situation.

"You better don't think about it, no one can assure you that you can really get pregnant, and better don't rush your mind on those kinds of thoughts", and with that, Gellie told him to sleep, petting his hair until he closed his eyes.

By the morning, when the first rays of the sun were entering the windows, the caravan arrived in Doiltean space. When they arrived, a great number of people were waiting for them. In the front of the multitude were Ursula and Alex, and a weak and fragile man, who was Robert Doiltean.

"We welcome you to our territory, and of course, to our family", Alexander said once the Cleite family got down out of the caravan.

"We are grateful to be so welcome to you", Heinrich was the first to answer the Alpha, and then went to the interior of the Doiltean tent. Ursula went to Damien and Gealach, with elegance and discipline, looking at them with a cold stare, but a smile on her lips.

"I am glad to see you three here. Please, accompany me to the place where the wedding will take place".

As said, the Luna took both of them and guided them to the center of the camp. The clan space was very different to what they used to know, since the weather was warmer, they used to have real tents to live in instead of underground facilities. The salon where the wedding would take place was under the naked night sky, with a big bonfire in front, an obvious part of a ritualistic ceremony. Also, everywhere were tons of dessert roses, so beautiful and giving the place such a vivid and romantic atmosphere.

"The Alpha Alexander will be here in some minutes, and we will start the ceremony at the moon rise. Your Highness Gealach, you and your Alpha are welcome to spend the night as our guests until tomorrow, so please, rest properly and get ready for the ceremony", Ursula went away after this, not without ordering a maiden to be at the disposal of the Cleites. The maiden then guided them to the guest room, but left Gellie there.

"I am instructed to guide the bride to the bride's room", she said, as she walked with Damien all along to another tent, one that was completely white, with more dessert roses all around. The maiden told him to present himself at noon in the great dining room, for a special banquet. And once he was all alone, Damien laid on the bed, feeling the sheets on them as soft that he could think it was a cloud. Sleeping in the caravan was not the best, and his back felt so good when it stretched, falling asleep for some hours.

At the moment of waking up, the maiden was again inside the room, remembering him to go to the banquet. It was noon already, and she was, again, instructed to dress him for that occasion.

The girl got ready Damien's vest, a white silk blouse, with an aperture on his chest, showing his bulky chest, as it was so short on the belly, showing his wasp waist too. Also, with white silk pants too, and some gold ornaments, he was ready to go to the banquet.
