Briar
“What is it you wanted to discuss Dawn?” Briar questioned as they shifted slightly in their seat, it felt kinda weird being back inside of the castle after being dethroned.
“First things first I wanted to return this to you” The blonde remarked as she reached into her satchel and removed Briar’s crown, their eyes widened as they stared at the object before they returned their focus to Dawn.
“What for?” They questioned suspiciously and Dawn sighed softly as she traced her finger along one of the gems.
“I should have been more honest with you when I initially took it” She muttered more to herself than to Briar before letting out another sigh and placing the crown on the table.
“I didn’t dethrone you to be malicious and to try and force you to choose me over helping your friends, what I was trying to do was give you an easy out” She explained and Briar tilted their head to the side curiously.
“Explain” They prompted and Dawn sighed as she reached up to run her fingers through her hair.
“As the monarch of the Greater Smp you were honour bound to stay true to our neutrality in the conflict between Manberg and Pogtopia but I knew that your loyalties lied with your friends and not me so I made a spectacle of dethroning you to not only protect my people but also give you the chance to aid the people you really cared about” She explained tiredly and Briar blinked in surprise as they processed what the blonde had just said.
“Dawn-” They tried to say but Dawn cut them off as she continued to talk.
“But that decision has become redundant now as Logan and the others have sided with Gabriel and to keep the pups safe I have officially joined Pogtopia” She continued to explain before picking the crown back up and holding it out towards Briar.
“So if you are willing I would be honoured to crown you once again” She said softly with a gentle smile on her face that the ravenette couldn’t see.
Briar stared at the crown for a moment before reaching out, but instead of taking the crown, they pushed it back down onto the table and instead, they gently took Dawn’s hands into their own.
“What did you mean by who I really care about?” They questioned and Dawn tilted her head to the side as if she didn’t understand what the Alpha was asking her.
“Isn’t it obvious?” She questioned and Briar shook their head.
“You only joined my side because I promised you a crown and power not because you actually wanted to join me” She pointed out before letting out a small self-deprecating-sounding laugh.
“It seems everyone’s loyalties lie elsewhere” Dawn muttered to herself only to blink in confusion when Briar tightened their hold on her hands.
“Dawn!” They said sternly and the blonde immediately sat up straighter as they glanced up only for her eyes to widen when she met Briar’s eyes, their glasses having slipped down their nose slightly. Briar’s eyes had always fascinated her and not because of their white glow but because they didn’t have the signature red ring around the pupils that all Alpha’s had, it was something so special and unique about them that Dawn almost wished she had as it would have made hiding her second gender easier.
“I may have initially joined you because of what you promised me but that doesn’t mean you aren’t my friend! You were the one who was there when the nightmares and guilt were too much to handle! You were the one who valued my opinions and actually listened to me! You were the one who was just there when I needed you most! You are my pack, Dawn!” Briar shouted strongly and Dawn’s eyes widened in shock as a few tears slipped out.
“R-Really?” She stuttered out and Briar let out a soft sigh as they stood up and moved closer to the blonde so that they could pull her into a hug.
“Really” They said seriously as they gently cupped the back of Dawn’s head to bring her closer as the admin finally broke down and clung onto them tightly subconsciously breathing in the Alpha’s sweet rose scent, that was another thing that made Briar different from other Alpha’s as usually only an Omega would have a scent like this. Briar really was out here challenging all gender stereotypes… maybe she could trust them with her secret…
“Briar I want to show you something” She mumbled softly and the Alpha pulled away slightly as they tilted their head curiously. She took in a deep breath before she slowly removed her mask and shyly met Briar’s eyes who smiled softly at her.
“I already knew” They said softly and Dawn’s eyes widened in shock.
“What? How?” She questioned slightly alarmed but Briar just gave her a reassuring smile.
“Your suppressants ran out when we were having a late-night meeting once” They explained gently and Dawn’s eyes widened in shock.
“Why didn’t you say anything?” She asked and Briar shrugged their shoulders nonchalantly.
“I wanted you to be the one to tell me yourself when you were ready” They explained and a warm smile appeared on the Omega’s face as she nuzzled the monarch happily.
“Thank you” She mumbled softly and Briar simply hummed in understanding as they pulled the blonde closer.
"Of course" They mumbled warmly and Dawn purred contently as she cuddled closer.
“So I have a cuddle pile planned with the pups and Julian, would you be interested in joining?” Dawn asked shyly after a few moments of silence earning her a fond chuckle from Briar.
“I would be honoured” They said warmly which earned them a nearly blinding smile from the Omega as she purred happily to which Briar rumbled happily back as they cuddled the admin closer, they were going to get all of their cuddles in now before they had to share.
