As soon as they had their breakfast, Alex and Ursula went as fast as possible to see the medicaster of the clan. Contrasting with the old male medicaster of the Cleite clan, Doiltean’s shaman was a young adult omega, beautiful and intelligent enough. When the royals came to her tent, the girl was making some potions on her cauldron, brewing some herbs on it.
“Well, what have I done to have the Luna and the new Alpha as my guests today?” soon as the medicaster noticed the proximity of Alex and Ursula, she saluted them.
“Good morning”, Ursula greeted. “We need some advice of something that happened last night”.
“Of course, milady. So, shall we go inside? Would be more comfortable to talk there”, the girl added, making them go inside the tent. Even if she would not offer them to go inside, Ursula will suggest it.
Now inside, sitting and looking in front of each other, then they would finally explain themselves. Alex began to talk about what happened, in detail of what he smelled, but censoring himself on what he did to Damien. The medicaster listened everything that he said, finding actually interesting but unusual the fact that he felt an omega scent coming from the heir of the Alpha.
“I have a theory”, she explained after Alex ended. “It is very rare, but my father told me about it when I was still a student of him. Sometimes, there is a person that can be both breeds, an omega and a beta, and happens to have both of their s****l organs. Maybe, I am not assuring it but, maybe the Cleite heir is one of those persons, one in a million maybe”.
They wanted to feel at least relieved for knowing what was what happened, but still they had that bitter taste on their mouth,. And the medicaster noticed it.
“Of course, this represents a problem, if the matter is… an army attack”, the girl kept explaining. “It could carry problems, since keep smelling that heat scent the next time you confront him… or even attack him with the possibilities of causing a miscarriage”.
“A… miscarriage?” Alex then asked a little concerned of how affecting was this new reality.
“Remember that you do not know how often he will have his heat, as you also do not know if he is going to mate with some beta —or even an alpha— of his clan. Even if you try to calculate his heat, and wait for a month or more or less to make a new ambuscade, there is the possibility that he could become pregnant. Even at this right moment”.
“Most important about all of this”, then Ursula spoke. “If you happen to cause a miscarriage on that man, it could unleash the rage of a whole clan. A rage even worse that the caused at war”.
Alex could comprehend the weight of the situation. So, now he needed to think on a way that could resolve the problem. Of course, he was not really the problem in this case, but he could become one if he acted like a stupid. After they thanked the medicaster and went to Ursula’s place again, they needed to talk about what are we going to do.
“Of course, we cannot just leave things like this. We are enemies with the Cleite, and obviously they could take advantage of our current state if we do nothing”.
“Then I have no idea of what could I even do”, Alex said, resting on his seat on the floor, thinking. But then, Ursula had an idea. Was really unexpected, and so ridiculous that it may work.
“I actually have think in something. You see, Damien Cleite is at this moment nothing different to a weak and vulnerable maiden. As an omega, or at least since he is suffering the same conditions of omegas, we could take some advantage of his situation”, she started explaining, to her son’s skeptical sight. “Thinking in that way about Damien Cleite, he is now nothing more than a marriageable omega, and you are an Alpha who need to claim a Luna soon”.
“No, I know what you are about to say and the answer is NO”, Alex then said, with a high voice volume as he tried to go away, but Ursula crawl to him to stop him from pulling from his sleeve.
“It can work, because is not only the solution to your problem finding a Luna, but also a peace agreement. If you marry the heir of the Cleite clan, they can become allies, and we can say we just stopped our rivalry”.
Wanting or not, she had a point there. And by experience, she has wise and smart ideas. Not for nothing, she was still in charge of the clan even if he was already the Alpha, she kept moving on the shadows.
It was just matter of him to learn more from his mother —even if until today they had a cat-mice relationship—, and do his best to learn to be a good Alpha, just as good as the Luna of his father.
“Then, let’s go there tonight. You just heard the medicaster, he could even being having s*x right now. Is we are going to ask his hand on marriage, then we must be quick”.
“That is the kind of determination that I want for you”, Ursula smiled, “thinking of the possibilities and acting after getting the right advice. That’s my boy”.
Ursula then called some of her personal guards, and gave the order to prepare a caravan to go to the Cleite clan. She also sent Alex to get his clothes changed to his better attire, because this was his engagement night, and they sure will have a celebration soon when they come back.
It was laying say that Alex did not felt anxious and nervous. Ursula told him to think about possibilities, and there was still the possibility that being rejected. So he needed to practice his words, writing on papyrus everything that he could or should say to get Heinrich Cleite to agree to their marriage. In some point he felt like it would be better to leave everything to Ursula, but he was the Alpha, and he was who ‘wanted’ to marry Damien, the heir that he did not even see until he was about to abuse.
They reached the clan’s lair when it was almost the evening. Their arrive was announced by the guards of the Cleite clan, who also got prepared for a probably attack. But once they saw that the Doilteans were unarmed, they at least did not try to attack. Heinrich soon came out to see what was happening, and is worth to say that he was… surprised, by seeing a caravan and not a troupe coming to them.
“What are you looking for?” Heinrich asked, he was not in a good mood since the last night, and seeing his enemies approach in this way was sort of shocking.
“Heinrich Cleite”, the first on make an apparition was Ursula, who started talking according to the royal protocol, “the Doiltean clan makes you a visit, for an issue that might be of your complete interest. For that, shall I present you the Alpha of our clan, His Highness Alexander Doiltean.”
When the name were pronounced, Alex came out of the car, serious as only he could be in that situation.
Heinrich, of course, did not know for what was the entire act, but he remained in silence until the young Alpha says his issue.
“Sir Heinrich, I present to yourself with only one request that might bring both of our clans to a new golden age. Please”, Alex then snapped his fingers, giving the indication to a servant to walk ahead to the Cleite leader, offering an endowment to him. “I ask the hand of your son Damien in marriage”.
