The chosen omega and the protector
In the large open field temple, just outside the large village where the human’s live. Near the entrance to the dark Forest where dark creatures roam. Two souls sit opposite each other as the chosen omega human finally meets the hydra beast that had protected their village for five years now. For every five years a different creature from the hydra lands is chosen by one of the high ranking creatures that have claimed themselves as the protectors and peacekeepers of the whole realm. Including the humans that need as much protection from stupid feral or low leveled hydra creature’s who wish nothing than to kill anything weaker than them just to feel superior. The human’s have been under the protection of the higher ranked hydra creatures for over four hundred years now when they had made a deal.
The deal was that the higher ranked elders would chose one of their kind to protect the village from lower forms that loved to terrorize and hunt humans for no good reason than to feel stronger than they really were, as long as the humans in turn let the their protector chose a sacrifice in return the sacrifice being an omega human which the hydra’s knew were better mates and mother’s to their offsprings than their omega counterparts. Hydra omega’s tended to be very unfaithful thanks to their superior strength over their alpha’s. Tending to leave their alpha and offsprings if they got tired of them or found a more interesting Alpha. Alpha’s didn’t have the pheromones that omega’s had to calm or comfortable a sick offspring. So often when an omega leaves her offsprings they die within a month. Human omega’s however seemed to be better in staying loyal to their hydra mates as they know they wouldn’t survive one minute in the hydra land without the larger creatures protection. And so the higher ranks agreed to protect the humans as the chosen protector would watch over the village for a period of five years. After that he would have the right to claim one of the village omega’s.
Steve, was finally in that position right now as he watched with a nervous heart at the beautiful human he had chosen to claim, sit in front of him with two of the village elders behind him. Steve’s six tentacles twirled nervously as he tried to hunch down as to not seem so intimidating to the small human. Tony, was his name. The hydra creature had taken a liking to him three years ago when he had seen Tony visiting and mending an owls broken wing near the dark forest. Not caring of the dangers lurking near him, as long as he was able to see and care for the injured bird that Steve would sometimes tend to as well. At times Steve would hear the small human mutter a thank you, even if Steve was sure the human didn’t see him. It was a condition that the protectors were not to show themselves to the villagers whenever they went out to scavenge or hunt. That they would remain hidden in the shadows until their duration was done and needed to take their prize. So it wasn’t a surprise when Steve would hear the small human say a thank you, like he knew Steve was there. It made the hydra’s heart flutter inside his chest. No one had ever thanked him like Tony did. Sometimes he’d find the human even going out of the village late at night to check on the bird. Which pissed Steve off at times since anything could happen if he hadn’t noticed the brunette wander off. And yet he’d had this warm feeling whenever he’d watch the small human curl up and talk with the owl. As if he knew he was safe, like he knew Steve was there near him. Even if he didn’t see him. Steve knew that Tony had faith in him. And wasn’t scared of him at all..
At that moment he had promised to claim Tony as his when the time was right. Hoping and praying the human wouldn’t be bonded to another while he was still protecting them. Curse their stupid agreement to be not be seen by human’s. Before he had left the elders of the higher ranks Steve had agreed to not be seen and his words were bounded to his chest. Marking it with a curse that would burn him inside out if he ever made contact with the human’s who didn’t need his help within the five year duration. Thankfully no human Alpha had taken a claim on Tony yet. His Tony now that he thought about it.
Yes, Tony IS his now..and would forever be bound to him as they both began chanting the ancient prayers that would bound Tony to him eternally. He felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Tony blush a bit while saying the lines ‘my body and soul for his to keep’. Not a hint of his facial expression telling Steve that he was afraid of him.
He had been so nervous when Tony had stepped outside the village gate. Wearing the traditional robe that an omega wore when finally being presented to them, the large alpha couldn’t help but notice the way the long silky robe clung to the omega’s slender form. A light blush appeared on his face before he smiled as he noticed as well how the robe’s golden petals surrounding the vibrant red silk complemented the omega’s fair skin. Making Tony look even more radiant and youthful in Steve’s eyes. And when the omega human finally looked up with his hazel brown eyes beneath his lushes thick lashes. Steve could barely breath as he held his breath at how beautiful Tony was smiling up at him. A shiver ran down his spine as he felt his cheeks turn redder at the Omega in front of him. The human villagers had even clipped on small golden ornaments on the omega’s curly locks. And placed small jewels around his neck and wrist. A small part of his chest peaking out as the robe fell off his slender shoulder’s a bit. Exposing soft skin and a rosy pink nipple, the omega’s face redden at that and quickly apologized as he tried to hold the robe in place. Steve bit his lips as he watched the tiny human smile embarrassingly at him. Gosh was he cute! Steve hoped he didn’t think what he was doing was really a sacrifice. Because that was the last thing Steve wanted his chosen human to think with their bond.
———————————————————
the small ceremonial bond had ended with Steve biting the small omega’s gland bond. Releasing as much of his venom and scent into the small omaga’s body as best as he could. Making Tony whimper and release his now bounded mate’s scent around him. Protecting him from other alpha’s of all types and low level creatures that wouldn’t think twice of killing or playing with him in the black forest if he didn’t have Steve’s scent. After Steve was pleased with his newly bonded omega’s scent. He then bowed down on the temple floor as he finally unbounded himself from the village grounds. The mark on his chest finally disappearing as he finally stood up to his full height from the holy grounds, Towering over his human mate and the two village elders who’s heads only reached his chest. His time here was done and there was nothing left for him to do than take his prized omega and go back into the dark forest.
A smile crossed his face when he had bent down to pick the tiny omega up, lifting the brunette gently onto his chest. Blushing a bit when Tony didn’t seem to mind and even snuggled closer against his chest. He quicken his steps as he watched the sun start to set. By nightfall a new village protector would arrive to take his place. And he would be an instant threat to the other as he had no bond to the village anymore.
Before he entered the dark forest, he stopped to give his new mate a chance to say goodbye to his old life as they would now begin their new one together in his lands. Tony merely glanced at the now distant village before glancing up at the larger creature carrying him. Smiling and nodding that he was ready to leave his old home behind. Steve smiled at that, bending his neck a bit to lean down and give his new mate a kiss, loving how his tiny mate leaned in to it. It was just a quick kiss. But enough to reassure him that Tony was taking all this well. And a wide grin on his blushing face. Steve finally sprinted into the forest, ready to start his and Tony’s new life together as human and beast.
