****** Alpha Dwarf ******
by TheWildOmega
Summary
     So this is my first Hobbit fan fic. Yay! So basically this is an
     alpha Thorin and Omega Reader Fanfic. Will do more. Just a story I
     came up with in my head. Let me know what ya'll think.
***** Chapter 1 *****
Taking a deep breath Whitney slowly let it out as she released the arrow
sending it flying into the stag. The deer jumped as the arrow hit it's chest
and it bolted into the forest. Strapping the bow on her back she followed after
it. Finally finding the animal she walked up to see a person bleeding it. "Hey!
That's my deer." She yelled as she stormed up to the person who dared take her
food. Hearing yelling Thorin looked up to see a person in all black marching
over to him. Standing he held his ground. "You are mistaken this is my kill."
"No it is mine I shot it just a few minutes ago." Folding his arms over his
broad chest he glared at the person. They still hadn't removed their hood and
he knew better than to trust a stranger. "Well I am sorry but this is my kill
yours must be off somewhere else." Whitney looked at the man no doubt a dwarf
was angry eyes but felt her omega whimper. This male was a alpha, she could
tell that, and a strong one by the smell of him.
Looking at the deer she felt the pain in her stomach at being so empty. She was
hungry, very hungry but she knew better than to challenge an alpha. In
actuality she needed to leave before he caught her own scent. Letting out a
huff she turned around and began to walk away. "Keep it."
 Thorin knotted his brows as the stranger walked away. He wasn't expecting the
man to just let his kill go so easily. Shaking his head he went to work
skinning the animal so he could take it back to Erabor. He had left to go
hunting this morning and was due back. Thinking while he worked he thought iot
to be very strange to see another out here. The strange man was very small, he
wondered how he would have been able to drag such a large kill by himself.
Feeling his knife hit something he felt around with his fingers and pulled out
an arrow tip. Looking it over the dwarf prince shut his eyes. That wasn't one
of his arrows. This wasn't his kill. Finishing skinning the animal he placed
the meat in a bag before looking in the direction the stranger walked off in.
Following the tracks he looked up to see a small cabin. The home was small and
had a small garden outside of it. It had begun to rain and maybe if he was
lucky the man would forgive him for taking his deer and let him wait out the
storm inside. Walking up Thorin knocked on the door. Hearing footsteps before
the door opened. When it opened Throin's eyes went wide. Whitney looked to see
the same dwarf from before standing at her door. "What do you want... I already
gave you my kill."
Not being able to say anything at first Thorin just looked the woman over. She
was a small woman, maybe around fourteen or fifteen. She had long red hair that
hung around her head in small curls ending at her hips. Her face was round and
her eyes a bright blue. At first he didn't think it to be the hunter in the
woods but she was dressed in the same black clothes as before only now missing
her cloak and her voice sounded the same. "Ah... ah aye. I'm sorry I took your
deer. I soon realized it was not mine so I brought you the meat. I'm sorry."
The great prince could have kicked himself for how foolish his voice sounded
but he was still in awe over the whole situation. Women don't hunt. This woman
was no doubt a dwarven woman by how small she was... but she didn't have a
beard. He was so confused... why would she be out here all by herself.
"Oh um... thank you." Whitney said in a surprised voice. Looking outside behind
him she saw it was pouring and then jumped when a loud lightning strike hit.
She knew she shouldn't be doing this but she blamed her elven nature of being
good nature. "Would.. would you like to come inside?" Seeing her jump at the
lightning strike Thorin knotted his brows but smiled to her when she invited
him inside and nodded.
Inside she had made him a cup of tea and told him he could hang his coat up by
the fire to dry. The two were now sitting at the small table in the cabin.
Thorin looked around the room to see a bed, nightstand and a small kitchen
area. There was a small trunk beside the bed that he guessed held her
belongings. Looking back at the woman he saw her looking out of the window. She
had seemed nervous about his presence in her home. Clearing his throat he
looked at her, "So might I have your name?" Looking at him she looked down to
her lap and then back in his eyes, "Whitney... and yours?" "Thorin at your
service." he told her with a smile. He decided he liked her name. Whitney
smiled back at the well dressed male before bowing her head, "Nice to meet you
Thorin."
After a while the two had chatted but looking out Thorin saw the storm had
passed and knew he should be on his way. "Well I should be off. Thank you for
letting me wait out the storm in your home... and I'm sorry again about the
deer." Standing along with him Whitney smiled, "No problem.. Let me get
something to put the meat in... We can split it." Thorin shook his head as she
looked around the house for something, "There is no need... " "No I insist."
She said as she grabbed a bowl. Walking over he saw a picture on the wall and
knotted his brows. He had seen that same picture in his parents chambers. A
Drawing of his parents and him when he was only around six. Standing beside his
parents was another couple and a babe. Hanging beside the picture was a sword
he knew well. It was a amulet, a amulet his own father had made long ago. She
was a thief, Thorin felt his blood boil at the thought of someone stealing his
fathers work.
When the female turned around Thorin had her pinned to the wall. "Where did you
get that?" He growled as he pointed to the amulet. Whitney was stunned by the
force he used, "It was given to me." She said as she tried to push the male off
of her. "Liar!" He yelled. Feeling her temper get to her she did the only thing
she knew to do she kneed him in his groin making him drop to his knees and
groan. Watching her try to get away Thorin acted quickly and pinned her to the
ground. With this full weight on her back Whitney screamed out. "GET OFF OF
ME!" Straddling her back he grabbed her hands in one of his and held her tight
as he grabbed a roll of rope from his bag. "OH NO! I am taking you back with me
so you can explain yourself." Tying her hands behind her back he moved to her
feet and did the same with her ankles. Moving to go help lift her up she bit
him making him groan out. "Fine!" Tearing a piece of his tunic he gagged her
with it.
Getting off of her he packed the amulet in his bag and the picture before
throwing her over his shoulder and walking out of the house. Whitney screamed
around the gag and kicked and squirmed the best she could but it did nothing.
Sitting her on his pony he tied the bag of meat and the other bag onto it
before climbing on and rearranging her to sit in front of him. Kicking the pony
into a trot he made his way towards Erabor to show his father what he had
found.
***** Chapter 2 *****
Whitney stared in awe as they came up to the large mountain. It was huge. At
the front gate were two carvings of dwarven warriors in a fighting stance. The
guards looked to them as they rode up before bowing their heads. 'who was this
man?'
Suddenly the horses stopped and she felt as Thorin dismounted. "Prince thorin
you have brought back more from your hunt than I thought you would. " one of
the guards said smirking at Whitney. "aye something for my father. " thorin
commented before grabbing Whitney and throwing her back over his shoulder
making her grunt.
Bouncing with every step he took Whitney looked around the mountain add they
drove deeper. She couldn't help the fear growing inside of her, she had no idea
where she was or who he was taking her to meet.
After ten minutes or so Thorin opened the door to the lounge area. It was a
great room that he and his family spent time in and entertained guests. All
eyes were on him add he walked into the room. His mother, Dela was the first to
notice what he was carrying. "Thorin? What are you doing?"
Moving to stand in front of everyone he removed Whitney from his shoulder and
sat her at his feet roughly. Whitney groaned at the slight pain in her backside
at being slammed down and glared up at him. Moving she kicked at his shin
causing him to give a growl and glare down at her.
"Thorin what is the meaning of this..." his father's voice boomed over the
room. Hearing the man's deep voice Whitney curled in on herself and slowly
looked up at the man. He was a large man, alpha for sure. He had long black
hair that was greying asking with a beard braided with expensive looking beads.
He was missing one eye and had many tattoos on his forehead. Whitney noticed
Thorin was wearing close to the same clothing. Black trousers and a blue tunic
with fur boots and a fur cloak.
"Father, this woman was living in the woods. She was alone and invited me in to
wait or a storm. While inside I saw this handing in the wall." Pulling out the
amulet thorin showed his father what he had found. Thrain quickly took the
amulet from his son's hands to inspect it. "...and beside it was this... It is
the same picture from your room." looking from the amulet to the drawing Thrain
was left with no words.
Looking to the girl at Thorin's feet he handed his wife the items in his hands.
Taking out a knife he went to get and knelt beside her. Whitney whimpered and
tried to back away add the man came to her. 'he was going to kill her.'
Grabbing her hands he cut the rope around them before doing the same with the
one binding her ankles. Whitney watched confused and shunddered as he moved to
her mouth. Pulling the gag down he smiled at her. "You look like your father
young Whitney but with your mother's beauty."
Thorin was lost for words as he watched what his father did. "wha..." he
started but stopped when his father glared at him. Standing he was quick to
smack his son in the back of the head. "Boy I taught you better than to tie up
and handle females so roughly...especially omegas." Thrain yelled.
Whitney could only shrink up between the two males as they yelled. Seeing this
Dela was quick to come over to the girl's aid. Crouching down she offered her
hand to the girl with a soft smile "come my dear." Looking from her hand to her
soft face Whitney took her hand and was helped up off the floor. She looked at
the woman curiously.
She was a well fed beta woman. Her hair and thick sideburns were a light brown
adorned with beautiful gems and beads. She was wearing a red dress that had
long sleeves and was heavily embroidered. Overall she looked very kind and
Whitney returned her smile.
Shaking his head at his son Thrain looked to his wife and Whitney. "Dela my
love why don't you and Dis go help Whitney get cleaned up for supper tonight."
Dela smiled at this and nodded looking back towards the couch to see Dis
walking over.
Looking at the other beta girl Whitney instantly knew she had to be Thorin's
sister. She too had black hair with thin sideburns. Her eyes were the same
shade of blue as his and his mother's. She wore a green dress much to the same
as her mother's. Whitney thought they were both very beautiful.
Whitney smiled at the girl who had to be no more than a few months older than
her. "Hi I'm Dis. Nice to meet you Whitney. Sorry about my idiot brother." she
said looking at thorin with an annoyed look that he returned with a growl.
Whitney glanced at thorin to see him give her an apologetic look before she
looked away.
"Come along girls we must get you ready for supper Whitney." Dela chirped
before walking ahead. Whitney was instantly pulled along by Dis. Only glancing
back at thorin when they went through the door.
***** Chapter 3 *****
Dis and Dela had taken Whitney up to a guest room. Dela had called in two hand
maidens to help get her ready. They had filled a huge tub full of hot water and
oils before practically pulling off her clothes and pushing her into the bath.
Whitney had turned bright red at so many people seeing hey nude but 'miss Dela'
as Whitney had come to call her had laughed and told her it was nothing she
hadn't seen before.
While Dis and Dela picked out clothes for her to wear tonight the two haha
maidens had went to work washing her. Whitney had told them she could do it but
they insisted. Scrubbing her skin and washing her hair, Whitney was left
cleaner than she had ever felt. Once out of the tub they had rubbed more oills
into her skin before wrapping her in a thick towel and dis had pulled her to
sit at a large bed.
Whitney looked at her lap as Dela came back into the room with an arm full of
clothes. Whitney soon saw that were all dresses. "I think blue will go well
with her red hair." dis said smiling at her. "aye you definitely got that from
your father." Dela said making Whitney smile. "you knew him?" she asked the
older woman. "oh aye. I knew your mother and father very well....this is me and
Thrain here with them. And that is you and thorin." she told her as she pointed
to the picture that had hung on Whitney wall ever since she could remember.
The two beats had dressed Whitney in a dark blue dress that fit her small frame
tightly showing off her slight curves and giving her a small cleavage. They had
let her wear her boots. And they had done her hair, letting her curls hand down
her back and pulling some of it up at the top. When she looked in the mirror
she couldn't help but smile. She felt pretty for the first time in a long time.
Leaving her alone they told her they were going to get ready and that someone
would be by soon to collect her.
Sitting on the bed Whitney thought back on the day. It had been long and
surprising to say the least. After a few minutes she was startled by a knock at
the door. Taking a deep breath she walked over and opened the door. There
standing in the door way was thorin. He was dressed in a dark blue dress tunic
with black trousers and fur boots with a belt around his waist. The belt had a
symbol carved into it and was very shiny.
Thorin could not help from starting at the young woman in front of him. She
looked different from the girl in the forest. The dark blue material showed the
curves of womanhood coming in. Scanning his eyes up her body he shook himself
from staring at her breasts and meet her eyes. Beautiful dark blue eyes met his
own. "I'm here to escort you to dinner." he said in a shaky voice. "no rope
this time?" she said with a small smirk.
Thorin flushed at this "no. I'm sorry for that by the way it was childish and
ignorant of me... " "it's alright. You were thinking of your father... I would
have done the same." she told him making him give a small smile. Standing up
straight he held his arm out. "shall we? " blushing Whitney took his arm and he
led her away.
***** Chapter 4 *****
Thorin led her down many halls until they reached a large metal door carved
with many dwarven patterns. Whitney watched as he pushed it open to reveal a
large table filled with food. Sitting around the table was a few of the people
from earlier asking with others. Dela was sitting beside Thrain. Dis was beside
another male he had dark brown hair but resembled her and thorin making Whitney
assume he was their brother. On the other side of the table were two males one
was older with slightly greying hair and a beardand the other was a large man
with brown hair in a Mohawk with a beard. Lastly at the head of the table was a
older male that wore a crown and had a very long beard and hair with many
jewels in it.
All eyes were on them as they walked in. Thrain smiled at her giving her a
wink. "here they are... Here Whitney you can sit by me. " Dis said patting the
seat beside her. Thorin led her over to the chair beside his sister pulling it
out for her before sitting beside her. "I haven't seen hair that red in a long
time princess Whitney." the man at the head of the table said making Whitney's
eyes snap to him. Everyone around the tables eyes were wide except for Thrain
and Dela. "...although now I am guessing it would be queen." the man said.
Whitney looked down at her lap before meeting his eyes. "no sir... I never took
my vows.... I prefer just Whitney. " he gave her a soft smile and nodded "then
Whitney I welcome you to Erabor. You were to young to remember the last you
were here. My name is Thor'. I believe you have already met my son Thrain, his
wife Dela. Their daughter Dis. And from what I have heard you and thorin have
already started butting heads again." Thor looked to thorin at the last part
raising a brow making Thorin's head bow down.
The rest of dinner had been spent with Thor and Thrain telling stories of
Whitney's parents to her. They had all laughed when Dela had told them how
thorin had once kissed Whitney and she in return had given him a black eye.
At the end of the night it wasThrain that walked Whitney back to her room. When
they reached her door he smiled at her before holding out his hand. In it was
her father's amulet. "I made this for Bolrund and Lina when you were born. You
look so much like him Whitney. I miss him very much... He and your mother. "
Whitney felt a tug at her heart, "me too." Placing the amulet in her hands he
patted her shoulder. "I will see you tomorrow my dear. Sleep well." he smiled
at her before walking off.
Entering her room she looked at the bed to find out turned down with a
nightgown layed on it. Placing the amulet and the picture of her parents on the
table beside the bed with a smile. Undressing she quickly climbed into bed.
Whitney couldn't help her sigh as she layed in the soft warm bed. It was mere
minutes before sleep found her.
***** Chapter 5 *****
The next morning Whitney awoke feeling more rested than she had in a long time.
Sitting up she jumped out of bed and put on her old clothes. Once dressed she
brushed out her hair, leaving it down so that her ears wouldn't bring
attention. Slowly she opened the door to her room and looked out into the
hallway. Seeing a few people walking around she closed her door and walked down
the halls.
Thorin had been walking down towards the library when he saw Whitney looking
around one of the side halls. Besides for the two of them the halls were empty.
Having a small smile form on his lips he walked over to her. "help you find
something? " he asked her, startling her in the process. "oh you scared me...
I... Well I.. I have no idea where I am going?" the small omega said looking
down. Thorin couldn't help the smile on his face at how cute he thought she
looked.
Getting an idea thorin smiled "well how about I give you a tour?". The female
had been on his mind all night. He found her interesting to say the least and
would like the chance to learn more about her. Whitney smiled at him and
nodded. Giving a bow thorin held his arm out for her to take before showing her
his home.
Thorin had showed Whitney all over the mountain. He took her to the mines and
the forges. She had loved the library making thorin smile. The two were now
sitting at the roots of arm old willow tree out in the gardens. Thorin had took
them by the kitchens and got the cooks to make them a basket for lunch before
taking her outside. He had layed out a blanket on the ground for them to sit on
and had poured her a glass of wine and him a mug of ale.
The cooks had made them fresh ham sandwiches with fresh fruits as a side.
Thorin sat watching her closely as she nibbled on a strawberry. "how old are
you?...I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked that. " thorin stammered as he raised
what he had said.  Whitney giggled at his embarrassment "no it's okay.  I'm
fourteen. How old are you?" thorin cocked his head to the side at this
"fourteen is pretty young to be living on your own... Even more so considering
you are an omega and are not supposed to be alone." Whitney looked down at his
comment she knew he was right. Omegas were kept close by someone, never too be
alone. 
"aye I know... But I manage. I used to live in my father's Kingdom but I got
tired of it. I just moved to that old Hut six months ago... You didn't answer
my question." taking a sip of his ale thorin nodded slightly, she was very
skinny showing how she didn't eat much. "I'll be twenty in two weeks. Where are
you from?" Whitney looked up and grinned "the blue mountains... do you always
ask so many questions?" smirking thorin went to respond but was cut off by
someone calling his name.  "thorin!  There you are...we have been looking all
over for you." 
Looking behind her Whitney saw two men walking towards them. She reclled them
both from last night. One was Thorin's brother Farin and the other was his
cousin Dwalin. They both smiled at Whitney and Farin raised his brows before
smirking at thorin. "look Dwalin he stood us up for a date with his
girlfriend... You know Whitney I can show you a better time than my brother
could." Whitney blushed at this and looked down. Standing she looked to thorin
under her  lashes,  "thank you for the tour and the picnic... I'm sorry for the
trouble." Without giving him time to respond she made her way back to the
mountain. 
Quickly thorin stood and went to stop her but didn't know what to say. Feeling
his temper flare he glared at his little brother. Giving a growl at the smaller
beta. "What the fuck Farin." bending down he quickly cleaned up the nice
picnic. "what? I'm sorry I didn't think... " standing he glared at him "that's
right you didn't think. Why don't you try doing that next time." he said before
marching off. Farin looked to and shrugged making Dwalin smacked the back of
his head before following his cousin and best friend. 
***** Chapter 6 *****
On her way back to her room Whitney was stoked by her name being called.
Looking behind her she saw dis walking towards her. Smiling she met the beta
female "hello Whitney, I went to your room earlier but you weren't there."
Whitney nodded at this and then looked down "sorry, thorin gave me a tour of
the mountain and then we had a picnic out on the grounds." hearing about her
activities made dis raise her brows. Her brother was not normally for
picnics... Or much of anything. She would have to see how he acted in person.
Smirking she took the omegas hand. "come let's go to the training yard."
Once at the open yard Whitney looked up to see Thorin, Farin and Dwalin all out
training. Dis walked them over to one of the tables looking out over the yard.
On the table were different things including some cheese and crackers. Once
sitting Whitney looked back up to meet Thorin's eyes. Looking at her he got
distracted earning him a blow from Dwalin. Whitney blushed and looked down to
her lap. The action did not go unnoticed by dis who was smiling widely.
Standing back up thorin looked to Dwalin who was smirking "what?" he asked him
while brushing off the dirt. "oh nothing just never seen you distracted by a
pretty face." knotting his brows he shook his head "I'm not distracted." he
told his friend stealing another glance at the female omega. "no of course
not." Dwalin said before starting again.
Over the next few weeks Whitney would spend her days with dis and some of her
friends. They were nice girls. Whitney had found them to be very rambunctious.
All of them were around her and Dis's age. There was Maris and folia, sisters
who gossiped allot. They seemed to know everybody's business. Then there was
Trilis she was the one Whitney was not very find fond of. She was snobby and
seemed to have kissed almost every dwarf male there age. She flirted with males
openly, even thorin, much to Whitney's dismay.
Thorin watched Whitney from a distance in the pub. He had seen how she had
become good friends with his sister but unfortunately that also meant his
sister's friends. He just hoped they would not turn Whitney to their wild ways.
He enjoyed how she was innocent but still could hold her own. He had talked to
her at dinner every night, slowly learning more and more about her.
Surprisingly the two had become closer and she was more open around him. His
birthday party was in just thee days. It was his twenty birthday, that would
mean he would soon have to choose a mate. Thorin knew who he wanted, he wanted
Whitney... He just didn't know how to ask her.
Whitney sat and listened to the girl's talk on and on about this and that. Her
eyes would drift to thorin every now and then before sitting back down when he
would look at her. Dis smiled at her friends actions. She knew Whitney and
thorin admired each other, then again it was obvious. But truthfully she didn't
mind, dis loved her brother and she wanted them both to be happy.
Not all were happy about thorin and Whitney's feelings. Trilis hated the site
of the two. She had been trying to get Thorin's attention for years, but he
payed her no mind. Whitney had been here only a few weeks and he was all over
her.
Thorin bounced his knee as he looked at Whitney making the table shake
slightly. Dwalin, Farin and Fillian all looked from one another before Farin
pushed down on Thorin's leg stopping his shaking. This snapped Thorin's
attention back to the boys, "what?" he asked looking at the three. "you're
making the whole table shake... Would you just go talk to her already. We came
here so you could get some liquid courage and you've had it so go."listening to
his brother's words thorin looked back at Whitney before chugging down his ale
and standing.
Making his way over to the females table he felt nervous. Taking a deep breath
he reached the table. All the girls looked at him as smiled and said hello. "me
and the lads were wondering if you ladies wanted to join us?" he asked with
smile. Dis raised her brows at this before giving a sideways glance at Whitney.
"aye sure come on girls." she says quickly. Thorin smiled and gave his sister a
small nod in thanks.
As the two groups joined tables thorin had pulled out a chair for Whitney to
sit in. "oh thank you thorin." she said with a smile that he returned. Going to
sit beside her he saw that trilis had taken that seat but left the one beside
her open. "here you go thorin you can sit by me." holding in his growl he
nodded to get before sitting down.
Thorin had still been able to talk to Whitney from where he sat and had smiled
at her when she told stories of her friends back home. They all had laughed at
one of Farin's jokes and thorin had loved hearing Whitney's laugh. Trilis had
laughed and moved her hand to lay on Thorin's leg making him offer to go get
more drinks for the group. Standing Whitney smiled and offered to help him. The
two talked at the bar while the barman made everyone's drink. "Whitney I was
wondering if you would like to go on a walk later tonight... With me that is?"
he asked glad that his beard was hiding his blush. Whitney smiled at his
request and nodded, "I'd love to thorin." giving a wide smile and letting out
the breath he had been holding he nodded "great."
Grabbing the drinks the two made their way back to the table with smiles on
their faces. Sitting down Whitney handed everyone their drink only to realize
she had forgot her own. "I forgot my drink, I'll be right back. " she told
thorin before walking to the bar. Once she had got her drink she returned to
walk back to the table only to see trilis sitting on Thorin's lap kissing him.
Whitney felt her heart drop at the seen. Feeling her lip begin to tremble and
tears come to her eyes she walked out of the pub.
***** Chapter 7 *****
Thorin had pushed trilis off of his lap when she kissed him. Looking down at
the woman on the floor he growled before remembering Whitney and looking in the
direction of the bar. When he looked she wasn't there. Feeling his anger rise
he looked back down to see trilis giving an evil smile. Standing he went to go
after Whitney only to feel someone grab his arm. Looking down he was met with
the beta bitches face. "oh come on thorin you can't be serious. You are going
to go after her... She is nothing but a half blood freak."
Thorin gave a deep growl at hearing the female insult the woman he loved.
Shoving her aginst the wall he growled close to her face making her whimper.
"allow me to make this very clear trilis. I do not want you. I will never want
you. And aye to answer your question I'm going after Whitney and if she will
have me she will be my mate. So if I ever see you talk to her or come near me
again I will have you thrown in the dungeon. Do I make myself clear whore?"
when she have him a trembling nod he released her and went to find Whitney.
Whitney had ran back to her room. Closing the door she locked it before
climbing into bed and crying into her pillow. She felt so stupid. Why would she
ever think he would have wanted her. She was nothing but a freak. A half blood.
To both of her races she was ugly. She was too skinny and bare in the dwarven
community. She had never grown a beard or any body hair at that. She was too
short for an elf. Her ears were pointed like an elves was but not as tall. Her
hair was wild and curly unlike the perfectly straight hair off her mother's
race. No all in all no one would ever want her... She was alone.
Thorin had went back to Whitney's room. Going to knock he stopped when he heard
quiet cries coming from inside. Looking down he took a deep beath before
walking away. He thought it was best to let her calm down.
Thorin pushed his food around his plate. Whitney had not come down for supper.
He had waited for her and kept looking up hoping to see her walk in but she
never did. Dis had told everyone that she was feeling ill and that she wouldn't
be coming. Thorin felt terrible. He had hurt her. He had had such a wonderful
night planned out. He was going to take her in a walk to go see the sky from
the top of the mountain. There he had planned on asking her if she would be his
mate. Now he didn't know if she would ever want to talk to him again.
The next morning Whitney had made her decision. She would leave. Thorin needed
a proper wife not her. He need to be with someone of dwarven blood alone.
Someone who would be able to provide him with heirs. Being a half blood she did
not know if she could have children. After all mules couldn't make more mules.
Packing a small bag with her father's amulet the picture of her parents and
Thorin's and the small sketch pad she had drawn her memories of Erabor in she
threw it over her shoulder before placing a letter for Dis and Thorin's
birthday present on the bed.
Going to Thrain's study she knocked on the door and heard him beckon her in
with a smile. His smile fell when he saw the bag on her shoulder. She told him
that she was leaving, going back to her father's Kingdom. She told him thank
you for everything they had done for her and allowing her to stay in their
home. "If you are sure this is what you want Whitney then I will not stop you.
But know you are welcome here anytime you want... " Thrain had told her. He had
tried to get her to stay for Thorin's party but she told him she had to leave.
Thrain knew something must have happened. He was sure his son wanted her as a
mate. Deciding it was best to let them handle it he said nothing. Pulling her
into a hug he told her goodbye. "take a horse with you and write me when you
get to the blue mountains." Whitney nodded at his request thanking him for the
horse before leaving.
Dids had went to Whitney's room first thing that morning when she awoke. She
had planned to have breakfast with the omega and talk to her about yesterday.
Knocking she didn't hear anything and opened the door. There was no one in the
room only a box on the bed with a letter that had her name on it.
Ripping open the letter she quickly read it.
Dear dis,
Thank you so much for being my friend. You were kind to me when others were
not. You are an amazing person and I will never forget you. I have went home to
the blue mountains. I promise to write you If you want me to. I'm sorry for
leaving without saying goodbye but I knew you would stop me. Please forgive me.

Give thorin this present from me, it's for his birthday. Tell everyone I said
goodbye. Maybe one day we shall meet again.
With love Whitney.
"no!" Dis said shaking her head. With the letter in hand she ran to her
brothers room. Throwing open the door she ran and jumped on the bed. "Thorin
wake up! Wake up Whitney is gone." shaking his shoulders he woke up. Hearing
what his sister was saying he quickly sat up. "what do you mean she is gone?"
he asked her. "I mean she left. She is going home...you have to go get her."
thorin looked down at his lap "she doesn't want me..."
Suddenly he feels a slap and looks at his sister with wide eyes. "she does want
you but she thinks you don't want her. Now you are going to get your arse out
of this bed and go tell her you love her and live happily ever after!" after a
few seconds she pushes him "NOW!"
Doing as she had told him he quickly got dressed. Grabbing his sword he ran
down to the stables to get a horse. Kicking it he made his way after the woman
he loved.
***** Chapter 8 *****
Whitney had went back to her old Hut in the forest to pick up the last of her
things before leaving for the blue mountains. Tieing her bags onto the horse
she turned around to go back in the house only to feel someone wrap their hands
around her. Covering her mouth as she goes to scream. "Now now calm down.
Aren't you a pretty little thing and out here all alone. Not very smart of you
girly." The man had dragged her back into the Hut with Whitney kicking the
whole way.
Once in the house he had tied Whitney to a bed post and gagged her. Looking at
him she could tell he was of the race of men. He was allot bigger than her and
he looked to be in his late twenties to early thirties. After he had tied her
up he had looked around her house. "don't you got any food here girly?" he
asked her and Whitney shook her head. 'maybe if he couldn't find anything he
wanted he would leave.'
Her thoughts were soon diminished as he walked over to her with a sinister
grin. Crouching down to her level he grabbed her chin harshly. "well now there
may not be any food here but you sure do look mighty delicious." Licking at his
lips he moved his hand to her breast and squeezed it painfully. Whitney was
crying now. She was scared and alone.
The man laughed at her tears. "you crying now... Wait till I've had my way with
you. I'm a whole lot bigger than you this is going to hurt you but feel so good
to me." hearing this Whitney kicked at him landing a blow to his groin. The man
groaned and held onto his manhood. Hearing him growl Whitney knew her mistake.
"now you've done it little girl." looking at her he slapped her face with the
back of his hand making Whitney dazed.
Ripping open the front of her tunic Whitney screamed around the gag. The man
went to unlace his pants but didn't get to finish before he fell to the ground.
Looking up Whitney saw thorin standing there. His teeth were elongated to sharp
canines and his eyes were bright yellow. He snarled at the unconscious man
before looking to Whitney.
She was crying. Her hands were tied to the bed post tightly. The front of her
shirt ripped open to reveal her breast bindings. What made thorin the angrest
was the quickly darkening bruise over half her face. Dropping to his knees he
cut away the rope binding her hands and pulled the gag down. In an instant
Whitney was in his arms. She hugged him with shaking arms and buried her face
into his neck as she cried. "thank you. Thank you." she sobbed quietly. Thorin
was shocked at first but then he just wrapped his arms around her and held her
close to him, stroking her back and neck.
"Thorin look out!" Whitney suddenly screamed into his neck as she saw the man
go to attack. Thorin let go of her and turned to face the man but he wasn't
quick enough. The man hit him with the chair making it break and thorin fall to
the ground. With thorin hurt Whitney jumped on the man from behind, biting and
scratching at him.
Grabbing her by her hair he threw her to the sink making her head hit the stone
hard. Thorin looked up to see Whitney's head bounce off of the stone sink and
her body fall to the floor. He felt the breath get knocked out of him at the
sight. As soon as her body was on the floor the man kicked at her side and
thorin lost it. Grabbing his sword he stood and sliced at the man's chest.
Blood coated the floor as he fell dead.
Running to Whitney's side thorin gently pulled her to rest in his lap.
"Whitney? Whitney wake up. Oh Mahal please wake up." he said in a shaking
voice. Moving his hand to her neck he felt a swell of relief when he felt her
pulse. Grabbing his sword he lifted her into his arms and made his way outside.
Getting on his horse he grabbed the reigns of her house and made his way back
to the mountain as quickly as possible.
***** Chapter 9 *****
Thorin rushed back to the mountain. Dismounting the horse he carried Whitney
bridal style to his chambers telling a servent on the way to get help.
Laying Whitney on his bed he quickly covered her near nudity with a sheet.
Hearing someone enter he turned to see his mother, father, and Oin rush in.
"Thorin son what happened?" Thrain asked as he saw Whitney bruised and bloody
on the bed. Oin went to the omegas side while thorin told his parents what had
happened. "...he had her tied to the bed post...he was going to rape her... I
had to kill him... I had to." thorin told his father in a shaky voice.
Thrain could tell the whole ordeal had took it's toll on his son. He knew
thorin had never had to kill anyone until today. "it's alright son. It's
alright. You did what you had to do.... You saved her life thorin." he told him
holding his shoulders to help calm him. Thorin's eyes drifted to the females
form in his bed.
"I'll get her moved down to the infirmary..." Oin said making thorin stiffen.
"NO. She stays here. She stays with me." hearing the slight growl in their sons
voice Thrain and Dela share a look. Taking a deep breath Thrain looks to his
son before nodding to Oin.
Thorin had refused to leave Whitney's side. If it had not been for the fact
they had to change her clothing and bathe her thorin would not had left the
room. He stood in the sitting room part of his chambers with his father and Oin
while his mother and some other female nurses tended to her.
When all was said and done Oin had told them that she had a concussion and
three broken ribs. He told thorin that he would be back later to change the
bandages on her. Everyone else had left, his father said he had to write to
Whitney's God father of sorts and tell him what had happened. Dela said she
would check on them later giving her son a kiss to his cheek. Walking to the
bed thorin looked over the woman in his bed.
Whitney was laying on her back sleeping. They had dressed her in a simple
nightgown. She had bandages wrapped around the top of her head and over her
cheek where the man had hit her. Thorin felt his blood boil at what the man had
done to her....and even worse what he was going to do. Bringing his hand to her
face he stroked the side of her cheek with his knuckles.
Taking off his coat and shoes he was left in nothing but his trousers and a
thin red tunic. Not wanting to overwhelm her he decided against laying in bed
with her. Instead pulling up a arm chair beside the bed. Opening a book he
began to read to pass the time until she awakened.
It was a little after nightfall when thorin heard a small whimper from beside
him. Looking up he saw Whitney moving slightly and her eyes beginning to
flutter open. Standing he looked down at her. Meeting her blue eyes he gave a
soft smile "hey."
Whitney felt sore as she woke up. Opening her eyes she was met with bright blue
orbs. When hey vision cleared she realized they belonged to thorin. Returning
his smile she says hello. Looking around the room she didn't know where she
was. "where am I?" she asked in a weak voice. "we're in my chambers." he told
her. Whitney's eyes went wide at this. She was in his bed. In Thorin's bed in
nothing but a nightgown.
The dwarven prince watched as she tried to sit up. "I'm sorry thorin....i..this
is your bed....i... " moving he gently pushed her to lay back down in the
pillows. "Whitney it's okay. You need to lay down and rest." she shook her head
at this feeling tears of embarrassment come to her eyes. "no thorin this is
your bed... I don't need to be here... I.. " seeing her so embarrassed and
panicking thorin did the only thing he could think of. He kissed her.
Whitney gasped when thorin pressed his lips to hers. Thorin cupped her cheek as
he kissed her. Time seemed to stand still. When he felt the need to breath he
pulled back slowly. Both had there eyes closed and he gently layed his forehead
to hers. "stay... Stay with me." he asked her in a deep voice. Pulling back
just a little bit he looked in her eyes. "I promise to protect you and care for
you. I promise to love you and only you till the end of my days or let Mahal
strike me down. Please stay with me.... Be my mate? Marry me?" reaching into
his tunic he pulled out a small box and opened it.
Looking down Whitney saw he was holding a small box. In the box was a beautiful
ring. The band she could tell was made of gold. Around the band were small
diamonds made into it with carving around them. In the center was a large
diamond that shined brightly. Whitney felt more tears come to her eyes as she
looked at it and heard his sweet words.
"but... But... What about trilis?" Whitney asked looking back in his eyes.
Thorin gave a small growl at the mention of trilis. "she is nothing to me. I do
not nor have I ever loved her. I love you and only you. I swear to you
Whitney." looking into his eyes she could tell he was telling the truth. Giving
a small smile she felt more happiness than she had in a long time. "aye." not
really believing what he had heard thorin could do nothing but smile. "aye?" he
asked her and she nodded.
Thorin pushed his lips back to hers. "I promise... I will... Take good.. Care
of you... Whitney... You will... Never... Want for... Anything." he told her in
between kisses making Whitney giggle. "oh thorin... All I want is you." she
whispered making him look at her with and smile. "and you have me my
amrâlimê...now and forever." he told her before sliding the ring he had made
her on her finger.
***** Chapter 10 *****
The next couple of days had went by slowly. Thorin had kept Whitney in his room
until she had healed. He had slept on the couch close by in case she needed
anything. The dwarven prince had not been happy when she had had to move back
to the guest quarters but knew that they could not share a room until they were
married.
On the day off Thorin's birthday Dela had stopped by when Whitney was getting
ready for the party. Opening the door when she heard a knock Whitney smiled at
the princess. "miss Dela hello." she said moving to let the female inside.
"Whitney my dear I have told you you can call me just Dela... Ah I see thorin
has given you his ring. He worked very hard on it." the beta female said
lifting Whitney's hand to look at the gold ring. Biting her bottom lip Whitney
smiled "aye it is very beautiful."
Dela couldn't help but feel her heart swell at the love her son and soon to be
daughter in law shared. "I am happy to see you and my son together. I don't
know if you know but when a male dwarf turns twenty he can choose a mate and
make it publicly known. This happens by the said dwarf unbinding the female's
avalibility braid. Now Thrain and I have took notice that you do not wear
yours, why is that?" she asked gently. Seeing the omega females eyes look down
she regretted asking. "my mother and father died before they could put it in my
hair... I never thought anyone would want me so I never bothered with getting
it done."
Dela had no idea that the girl felt so unwanted and it made her heart break.
"well you have someone who wants you now and if you would like I would be
honored to put the braid in your hair." she said making the girl speechless.
Giving a nod she saw Dela smile. "come sit then, wet must hurry the party will
be starting soon." the beta told her beckoning to the bench in front of the
vanity.
Thorin waited down by the large staircase for Whitney to come down. He wanted
to enter the party with her on his arm, showing everyone she was his. Looking
up he saw as his mother and father came down first smiling at him. "happy
birthday my boy." his father said slapping his shoulder before his mother
pulled him in for a hug, "happy birthday son. We will see you inside." she told
him before the two made their way into the Great Hall.
As soon as the door closed thorin looked back up to see his Whitney. She was
wearing a long blue dress that matched her eyes. It hung off her shoulders and
formed into a tight corset that had small diamonds beaded into it. Coming to
stand before him he noticed the Intricate braid in her long red hair. It was
her courting braid. The braid he would be able to unbind tonight. Lifting the
braid with his finger he smiled at it before looking to see her looking down at
her feet, something he had noticed her do when she was nervous. Placing his
finger under her chin he lifted it to make her look up at him. "beautiful." he
said making her blush. Taking his arm the two made their way into the crowded
room.
The party had been fun. They had ate a large feast of wild boar. Laughed with
friends. Farin had pulled Whitney to dance with him making thorin give a growl
and playfully fight with him before dancing with her himself. When the time
came thorin pulled her up before everyone much to her dismay. Looking to her he
smiled and pulled the bead from her braid. Letting the red strands of hair fall
to her shoulder. Everyone cheered as the two pronounced the beginning of their
courtship to the kingdom. Whitney blushed beet red at first but the pouting
trilis in the corner made her smile.
At the end of the night thorin walked Whitney to her room with dis right behind
them. Now that they were officially courting they were not allowed to be alone.
Getting to the door Whitney smiled at him "I have something for you." she said
opening the door to lead them inside. Pulling the box from under the bed she
held it out for him to take. "happy birthday thorin." she said smiling "you did
not have to get me anything, accepting my request for marriage was gift
enough." he told her "just open it." she laughed.
Doing as she said he opened the box to see a thick fur material. Looking at her
questionably he lifted it up to see it was a fur cloak. The fur was a thick
brown that went around the collar and inside while the outside was leather and
black. "well try it on and see if it fits."Whitney said. Looking in the mirror
he smiled and turned to her. "thank you amrâl. You truly did not have to do
this. I know it must have cost allot..." thorin started but was quickly
interrupted by his sister "she didn't buy it you idiot she made it." "dis now
if something is wrong with it he will know I am a terrible seamstress." Whitney
said making thorin chuckle. "I love it. You do amazing work. Thank you." he
said pulling her into a hug.
***** Chapter 11 *****
Whitney laughed as she ran through the halls of Erabor. Glancing behind her she
saw thorin close behind. "Whitney you come back here." he said. Turning back
around she bumped into something making her fall back onto her bottom. Looking
up she saw it was king Thor. The king raised his brows down at the omega before
looking to his grandson. "gotcha." the young alpha said before looking up at
his grandfather. "aren't you two supposed to be deciding on wedding options."
he said with a smile.
Bending down thorin lifted Whitney to her feet. "aye grandfather, I was just
talking my fiancé there." thorin said placing his hands on her hips and giving
them a squeeze. "well off with you now." he said with a chuckle and watched as
the soon to be mates made their way to the Great Hall.
"...what color flowers do you think would look best? I think Tiger lillies
would match will wirh your red hair." Dela said looking to dis for her to
agree. Whitney looked at the ceiling bored with the constant talk of wedding
details. Feeling thorin pet her head and neck she met his eyes to see him wink
at her. "how about a break. Come amrâl let us get some fresh air on the
balcony." thorin said pulling Whitney with him before his mother and sister
could object.
Thorin led Whitney by her arm across the balcony looking over the land towards
Dale. "I'm sorry my mother and sister are being so over bearing." "it's
alright... It is very windy today isn't it?" Whitney said making Thorin look
out over the land "aye it is... " suddenly the couple was hit with a hot gush
of wind. Whitney looked to see Thorin's face fall. "thorin what is it?" hearing
a loud screech they looked up "dragon." thorin whispered before rubbing to the
edge of the balcony "DRAGON!" the alpha prince yelled into the mountain.
Whitney was quickly pulled back behind the pillar as dragon fire swept over the
mountain. Thorin covered the small omega with his body as the fire blew around
them. Once it was gone the prince grabbed his female's hand and ran towards his
family. Arriving in the sitting room he saw as the others were all there.
"thorin you go get your grandfather. Dela get all the females and children out
and make your way towards the lake, we will all meet up there. Go now." he said
"come girls." Dela said to Whitney and dis. "no! Thorin I'm going with you."
Whitney said but saw as he just shook his head "no Whitney go with my mother.
You get out of this mountain as fast as possible." he said kissing her cheek
before running off.
Following Dela and the other females out to the lake. Whitney heard the
screaming and crying of the both men and dwarves. "help somebody please help.
My baby. My baby is still in the mountain." a woman cried. looking to her
Whitney went to her. "where did you last see the babe?" "my daughter, she was
with her grandmother... In the kitchens. Please..." the woman cried. "okay I'm
going to go get her, what's her name?" Whitney asked. "armola." she said. "okay
I'm going to go get her." Whitney said going to go run back in the mountain.
"Whitney no you heard what thorin said..." dis exclaimed grabbing the omegas
ATM to stop her. "dis I cannot just leave that little girl to die. I'll be OK.
I'm fast I can get her." Whitney yelled ripping her arm free if the betas grasp
and running back in the burning kingdom.
Dragging his grandfather out of the mountain thorin saw the group of dwarves by
the lake. He had yelled for the wood elves to help them but king Thranduil had
just turned away. Finding his family he looked for his future mate but didn't
see her. "Whitney? Where's Whitney?" the prince asked his mother but saw regret
on her face. "she went back in the mountain....we tried to stop her... " dis
said. Going to save her his father grabbed him. "no! No! Let me go!" thorin
cried but Thain would not let him go.
 
***** Chapter 12 *****
Whitney covered her mouth and nose as she looked around for the little girl.
"armola!" she yelled out over and over again. Hearing a small whimpering she
looked under the table to see a small child curled up beside a older woman.
Whitney could tell right away that the older woman was dead. The cold could be
no more than three years of age and Whitney became worried when the girl
coughed.
Lifting the small child into her arms she covered her up with a share apron
that was on the table. Looking around she saw the room filling with smoke, she
had to get out of this mountain as fast as possible before they both
suffocated.
Seeing a small beam of light she moved over to see a hole in the rocks. pushing
the girl through first she then squeezes out herself. Looking around she saw
the sun was close to going down. She would need to hurry and reach the others.
Taking a big breath of fresh air she lifted the girl back in her arms and
started walking towards the lake.
Thorin held his face in his hands as he sat on the rocks. It has been over an
hour since he had gotten to the group and still Whitney had not returned.
Glancing towards his father he saw the older alpha meet his eyes. Thain knew
his son's worry. He knew it was killing him inside that he could not go help
his female but he was the prince and house people needed him as well.
Hearing a commotion the royal family looked to see a woman running towards the
mountain. "armola! Thank you! Thank you for saving my baby!" she screamed.
Looking thorin saw as Whitney handed the woman back a small child wrapped in a
cloth. "Whitney!" he roared as he ran over to her. Lifting her into his arms he
spinned around. Kissing her head he pulled back to glare down at her. "What
were you thinking!? I told you to stay with my mother! You could have died!
You..." "but I didn't. I'm not sorry for disobeying you because that girl gets
to live. But I'm sorry for making you worry." she told him with a small smile.
Thorin could only sigh knowing what she spoke was true. "you will make a
wonderful mother." he told her, placing his forehead against hers. Lifting her
into his arms he carried her back over to the small camp they had made by the
lake. They all hugged Whitney, scowling her for her actions. It was Thain that
smiled at her "you are just like your father. Always putting others first."
Whitney felt prideful at his words.
"...you welcomed me into your home. Now let me return the favor." Whitney told
them. The dwarves of Erabor were now homeless after the attack of smaug.
Whitney had talked it over with Thain and Thor. They would make for the blue
mountains at first light. She would be going home.
***** Chapter 13 *****
It was a long journey to the blue mountains and it was not a surprise that some
of the elderly had died on the way. The cold and the lack of food had made most
of them weak. On more than one occasion Thorin had to force Whitney to eat
after she would give her already small portions to the children. Thorin loved
her caring nature, her constant want to help others but he would not allow it
to put her health at risk.
Making it over the hill they came see the city of the blue mountains, Whitney's
home. Glancing over at his female Thorin was surprised to see no happiness on
her face. Taking her hand in his own she met his eyes and forced a smile.
Walking into the city many looked and stared at them some whispering the many
rumors that had made their way from the east. Coming before the tallest of the
mountains Thorin saw a great door carved into it. The guards noticed Whitney at
the front and quickly bowed their heads to the queen before opening the heavy
door. The dwarves quickly filled the great hall all glad to have a roof over
their head. "Rest  here." Whitney told them before turning to the nearest maids
and asking them to bring blankets and food. "Aye my queen." The lady said
bowing her head. Going to address the Durin family she was swiftly knocked to
the stone floor. Looking up she was meet with the angry glare of her cousin. "A
YEAR! YOU'VE BEEN GONE A YEAR! DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD I GOT MY ASS BEAT FOR
LETTING YOU LEAVE!" He growled. Feeling his blood boil at seeing the other male
attack his female Thorin was quick to tackle him off of her. Rolling to pin him
under him he punched the male straight in the jaw. 
Whitney's eyes widened at the seen in front of her. She knew her cousin was
going to be mad at her but she didn't expect this. Jumping into action she and
Thrain attempted to separate the two young alphas now fighting in the middle of
the hall. Thorin was quickly pulled away from him by his father but not before
the other male could land a final punch to his cheek. Jumping into the middle
of them Whitney glared up at her cousin with yellow eyes. "Stop it Ketor!" She
yelled pushing on his chest when he tried to get back to Thorin. "Who the fuck
is he?" he asked looking at her. "He is going to be my husband..." she told him
making him growl "Over my dead body!" Ketor scoffed making Thorin growl and
thrash in his father's hold, "That can be arranged." he snarled making Ketor go
to attack him again. "ENOUGH!" a deep voice yelled making them all stop.
Looking over Whitney stood tall as her god father and uncle made his way over
to them. The male growled deeply at Ketor making him take a deep breath and
stand still. Looking up Whitney saw as he let out a deep breath and cut his
eyes at her making her look at her feet. "Thor', Thrain we have much to
discuss." Ragor said before motioning for Whitney to lead the way. Thorin
watched as Whitney walked ahead of them towards a room deep within the
mountain. 
Once they were all in the room Thorin had went to go sit beside Whitney when
the other male stood in his way and growled. The air became tense as he two
stood nose to nose with each other. Whitney was quick to push her cousin away
from her beloved "Stop being such a ass Ketor." she snarled before taking hold
of Thorin's hand and siting on one of the large sofas in the room by the fire.
Feeling her squeeze his hand Thorin met his female's eyes. She gave him a small
smile  and placed a small kiss to his cheek, trying to calm his rage. 
Seeing one of the maids bring in a cart full of food and hot tea they all
reached for a cup. Seeing Ragor make his way into the room he sat in the chair
beside Whitney and looked up to them all. "I am so happy to see you all well.
We got word of the Dragon attack and I feared the worst...." Thor, Thrain and
Ragor continued talking about how they would begin work on housing for the
people of Erabor. "The East wing of the mountain is used to house the guests
but you and your family could now call it home if you would like. I'm sure many
of the people here would not mind opening up their homes until ones may be
built...'' Whitney added making Thor give her a appreciative smile. 
When they had got done talking about the pressing matters Ragor turned to
Whitney "Now as for you... You are not allowed to leave this mountain for the
next month..." He said in a stern voice. Whitney's jaw dropped at this "A
month?!" "Aye a month and after that you will still not be permitted anywhere
without another with you. When you and Thorin are married then it will be his
choice of what your boundaries are." Ragor finished. "Wha?... You are letting
her marry him?" Ketor gawked motioning his hand to Thorin. Thorin gave a low
growl at the male but stopped when Ragor cut in. "Aye, I give them my blessing
as will you." He told them getting up from the chair. Ketor looked back and
forth from the couple before looking up to his father "Does this mean I can
marry anyone I want?" He asked. "Son when you find a woman willing to marry you
I shall burst out into song." he said with a sigh making Whitney let out a bark
of laughter.
***** Chapter 14 *****
The next morning Thorin woke later in the day than he had planned. Going in
search of his female he found her in a room off of the one they were all in
yesterday. He was not very happy to see her in a room of males. He had gotten
even more angry to see the one from yesterday and another that he didn't know
tussling around with her. Seeing that she had not yet noticed him he decided to
watch and observe her behavior when he wasn't around. She wrestled abound on
the floor trying to pin Ketor and almost had him until the other took her up
into his arms and held her tightly. Whitney gave a growl and began kicking her
legs in an attempt to escape. Seeing Ketor going to attack her she kicked at
him landing a blow to his groin. Ketor dropped to his knees and groaned in pain
while Whitney bit down on the others arm making him release her. Seeing enough
Thorin went and grabbed Whitney around her waist stopping her movements. Her
eyes snapped to him in surprise and smiled but saw as his eyes were focused on
something behind her. Hearing a growl leave her betrothed lips she looked to
see Ketor standing behind her.
The two alpha males stared each other down before Ketor pulled Whitney from
Thorin's arms. Having enough Whitney snatched her arm free and stomped her
foot. "That is enough! Both of you." Whitney yelled. "You both are going to
start getting along from this moment on..." "And what makes you think I would
get along with him." Ketor scoffs making Whitney turn on heel to glare at him.
"Because if you don't I will tell Uncle Ragor what you were actually doing the
night I ran away."Instantly Ketor's face dropped before he let out a sigh.
"Fine..but what about him." "Thorin will do it because he loves me." Whitney
said while moving to hold the alpha males hand making him look down to her and
pet her cheek. "Very well amrâl." his deep voice hummed. Swallowing his pride
for the omega at his side he held out his hand for Ketor to shake. Happy that
her future mate and cousin were no longer going to rip each others throat out
Whitney smiled and hugged Thorin's waist. 
Over the next few weeks the dwarves of Erabor had gotten many new homes built
in the blue mountains. With roofs over their heads and their bellies no longer
empty everyone had settled into a less stressful life. Thorin had come to know
Whitney's friends that she would always tell stories about. Thorin was busy
with his father, Grandfather and Ragor one morning when Ragor's wife, Jenna and
his mother came rushing inside. Thorin knotted his brows as the female
whispered something into Ragor's ear making the older alpha male straighten up
and his eyes glance at Thorin's for a moment. Thorin would you please step out
of the room for a moment." Ragor requested. Thorin didn't move at first only
looked to his mother then father. "Go on now Thorin." Dela said in a motherly
tone. Bowing his head Thorin left the room. His head began to run wild with
what may be wrong. The only conclusion he could think of was that it had
something to do with Whitney. Was she hurt? Was she in danger? He was just
getting ready to go to her chambers when the door behind him opened back up.
Walking back inside he saw all eyes on him and became nervous. "Thorin my
darling I need you to give me your tunic." his mother said making him confused.
"Why?" he asked but saw as she shook her head "Your father will explain." was
all she said before holding out her hand. Seeing his fathers face serious he
removed the over coat Whitney had made him. Pulling the tunic over his head he
handed it to his mother. Dela placed a light kiss to her son's cheek before she
and Jenna left the room with his tunic.
As soon as the door shut Thorin turned to his father for answers and saw him
making his way over to him. "Come son." He beckoned and walked out of the room.
Grabbing his coat he followed his father back his chambers. Shutting the door
behind him Thorin went to retrieve a new tunic from his wardrobe while his
father paced the room. Once he was done he crossed his arms over his chest and
waited for answers. "What is going on father?" Thorin questioned and saw as his
father let out a sigh. "Whitney has started her first heat." Thrain said making
Thorin grow stiff. "... We needed your tunic because sometimes the scent of an
alpha male will help ease an omega's pain." Thrain said and saw as his son's
brow creased. "Her pain? Is she alright? I want to see her, maybe I can help
her." Thorin said but saw as Thrain just shook his head. "No son. I'm afraid
that you will not be able to see her until her heat passes... In a few days."
Hearing this made Thorin's eyes go wide, "Days? How can you expect me to not
see her for that long?" He asked his voice having a slight growl to it. "Do not
fret my son, she will be alright and next month at this time the two of you
will be married and you will be able to comfort her. But for now you will do as
I say." Letting go of his shoulders Thrain left his son to mew over his words.
It had been two days and Thorin had still not been allowed to see his amrâl.
Thrain and Dela watched with worry as the knowledge of his females pain took a
toll on their son. He would do nothing put push his food around his plate. The
young prince would hand over his worn tunics for either Jenna, Dis or Dela to
take to Whitney. It was at one of these times when Dis had went to find her
brother. Finding him in his chambers sitting on the balcony she made her way
over to him. "Thorin?" She said and saw as he jumped slightly by the sound of
her voice. Standing he made his way over to his sister for any news on Whitney.
"Dis, How is she?" he asked making Dis sigh, "About the same. I do not know how
much more her body can take... I can't get her to eat anything." She told him
honestly. Dis had seen no point lying to her brother. Whitney was going to be
her mate, if Fillian was hurt she would want to know about him as well. 
Thorin ran his hand over his face at the news. Having enough he turned to his
sister. "Dis I have to see her. I know I can get her to eat all you have to do
is help me get to her..." "Thorin I can't, mama and papa made me swear not to
let you get to her." Seeing no other choice Thorin dropped to his knees in
front of her, "Please Dis. Please." he begged. "Ahhh." Dis groaned before
pointing her finger in his face, "Fine but on one condition." Smiling Thorin
nodded, "Anything."
Hearing her brother growl Dis turned back round to glare at him. "If you cannot
keep quiet this is never going to work." She hissed making him stop tugging on
the rope that was binding his hands together in front of him. The two were met
up by Dwalin on their way who seemed to be in on the whole plan unbeknownst to
Thorin. "He is here to make sure you don't do anything you will regret." Dis
told him. Making his way to the part of the mountain that held Whitney's,
Ketor's and Ragor's chambers he saw the hall to be empty except for the night
maid that was walking down the hall. Quickly pushing Thorin behind the large
tapestry Dis talked to the maid casually. Once she was out of sight they made
their way to the large metal door at the end of the hall. It was heavily carved
and showed a wolf howling on it. Stopping Dis turned to look at her brother.
"Relax." She told him before opening the door to the sitting area outside of
Whitney's bed chambers. Looking around Thorin saw a old painting of Whitney's
parents. A proud looking male sat on the throne with a elven woman on his lap
who was holding a baby. Bolrund, Whitney's father was large for a dwarf. His
hair was a bright red like Whitney's along with his beard that had streaks of
white running through it. Whitney's mother, Lina was a beautiful woman... for
an elf. Her hair was long and black as an onyx stone that was perfectly
straight. Thorin had been surprised to see that her hair had a mate ship braid
at her temple. Smiling at the picture he was snapped out of his thoughts by a
whimpering cry coming from the room beside him. His attention instantly focused
on his female. Moving towards the door he watched as Dis opened the door
allowing Thorin inside. Looking behind him Thorin saw as Dwalin and Dis watched
him. "We will be right out here if you need us." She told him before shutting
the door.
 
***** Chapter 15 *****
Thorin took deep breaths as he stared at the large bed in the corner of the
room. Before his mind could register his feet were taking to his mate. Pulling
the covers down some he saw his female curled up into a ball. She was in
nothing but a large tunic and tights. Her red hair was in a mess around her and
her face covered in a light sweat. He heard as she whimpered softly with every
breath she took. Her nose was buried into one of his tunics that she was
clinging to for dear life. Taking a deep breath he felt as something in his
body changed. His pupils dilating and his pants growing tight. Siting on the
bed he moved his bound hands to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Seeing
her sunder Thorin moved to kiss her temple, "Shhh. Hush amrâl..." he purred to
her. Slowly Whitney's eye fluttered open. "Thorin? Is that you?" She whispered
reaching out for him. Seeing her hand come his way Thorin moved to lay beside
her, pulling her small frame into his side. "Aye. It's me, I'm here." The omega
instinctively moved as close as she could to him. Gripping his tunic she
nuzzled her face into his beard. Thorin took a deep breath as he felt her sniff
at his neck. The alpha in him wanted her, craved to claim his property but
Thorin shook his head trying to rid himself of the wild desires running through
his head.
Moving to Wrap his hands around her he gave a growl when the rope stopped him.
Hearing him growl Whitney let out a whine, her body convulsing as a wave of
heat flooded her body. Thorin stiffened when he heard her whine. When he felt
her relax again he looked down to see a tear rolling down her cheek. "What's
wrong Whitney?" He asked but she refused to meet his eyes. Slowly she moved out
of his arms and sat away from him looking at her lap. He saw as her lip
trembled "please go Thorin... I don't want you to see me like this." "Look at
me." he said and she obediently raised her chin. He knotted her brows when she
tried to look anywhere but his face he knew she was embarrassed but she had no
reason to be. "My love you have no reason to be embarrassed. I love you and I
will not leave you here to lay in pain, alone." with this Thorin moved to pull
her to him. 
Looping his bound hands over her he slowly got them to lay back down on they
bed. They had been laying there for a little while when Thorin heard his name
being whispered. "Thorin..." "aye darling?" "why are your hands tied?" she
asked. Now it was Thorin's turn to become embarrassed. Clearing his throat he
stared up at the carved stone ceiling. "to keep me from doing anything i would
regret."he hoped that would have been the end of it but he wasn't so lucky.
"what's that?" giving a low growl he felt as she again sobbed quietly and
curled up in his side. 
Thorin knotted his brows at her actions. Once she had relaxed he let out
another growl, and again she curled up. "please stop doing that." she whimpered
making him feel guilty. "I'm sorry amrâl....the ropes are to make sure i do not
do anything that should not be done before we say our vows." he told her
truthfully. Holding in his raging lust he felt as she curled into his side more
her hand moving to grip the front of his tunic. Knowing they needed a
distraction he remembered she had not eaten. Sitting up je carried her over to
the small dining table in the room. Siting in the chair he held her in his lap.
She eyed the food and at first he thought she was going to eat but she only
curled up in his lap, nuzzling her face into his hair. "amrâl you have to eat."
he told her gently. "I'm not hungry." sighing he closed his eyes and have a low
growl.  "eat Whitney... Please." he felt as she whimpered but knew it was the
only way to get her to eat.
She had been busy eating her food while Thorin looked around the room to keep
his racing mind at ease. It seemed all he could think about was the omega
sitting on his lap. Glancing at her he saw her paying him no mind. Before he
knew it his eyes were roaming over her features that were more visible in the
light of the fire. He took notice to the skin hugging brown tights she wore
leaving nothing to the imagination. Her small bare feet were crossed under her,
making him smile. He knew she did not particularly like wearing shoes, he had
guessed it was the elf in her. Scanning his eyes upward he saw that the white
tunic was very large on her and knotted his brows. Looking closer he saw it was
one of his and had to take another deep breath. The tunic hung off of one of
her shoulders showing the pale skin that was underneath. Pulling on the ropes
his breaths picked up. His pupils dilating as the alpha in him demanded to be
released. "Whitney cut the ropes." He said in a deep voice making the female's
movements stop. Turning to meet his eyes she saw they were a bright yellow.
When she didn't do as he said Thorin let out a growl, "Do as i say." Hearing
his alpha voice she obediently took the knife she had been using to cut her
pork and cut the ropes around his wrists. 
Feeling the freedom of his hands Thorin quickly flipped her to straddle his
lap. Whitney's eyes were cast down at her lap making Thorin give a smile. When
he cupped her cheek he felt as she sundered but leaned into it. The alpha in
him understood. Whitney was after all an omega, her instinct was to submit to
him. Lifting her face he leaned forward to claim her lips with his own. She was
calm and contempt until she felt his hand move around to cup her head. When she
couldn't pull away he licked at her lips with his tongue and heard her gasp.
Taking the opportunity he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Finally tasting
her he could't help but growl. Feeling her curl up at his growl he quickly
lifted her into his arms, never breaking from her mouth. Carrying her to the
bed he layed her on her back and balanced himself above her. Mapping out her
mouth he felt his member pressing against his trousers. Moving his hand to her
breast Whitney quickly pulled away from his mouth much to his disappointment.
"Thorin no... stop." She whispered but he just gave a growl and began kissing
at her neck. "Thorin please..." she begged while pushing against his chest. The
alpha male growled at her fighting him, grabbing her hands he held them down
above her head with one of his own hands. Slamming his lips back to hers he
allowed more of his weight to rest on top of her when she squirmed to be
released. Ripping the tunic down the middle he began groping her breast in his
free hand making her whimper. Opening his eyes to glance down at her he saw her
face contorted into fear. Her eyes were closed tight with tears rolling down
her cheeks. Seeing his female crying snapped him out of his lust filled trance
enough to pull his lips from hers. He groaned at the war going on inside of
him. It was as if the alpha wanted nothing more than to claim his omega but his
heart wanted his love to be safe.
Closing his eyes shut he held the alpha back. "DWALIN!" Thorin yelled making
the beta warrior come rushing in with Dis right behind him. When the two saw
the scene in front of them Dwalin was quick to rip his prince from the female.
Dis quickly went to Whitney's side while Thorin struggled in Dwalin's hold to
be set free. The alpha was back in control and all he saw was the beta male
getting in the way of him claiming his female. The dwarven warrior held his
best friend tightly no matter how hard Thorin hit him he wouldn't let go.
Dwalin knew that if he let Thorin have his way with Whitney he would never
forgive himself. "LET ME G..." Thorin yelled but not before Dwalin wrapped a
gag around his mouth and began pulling him out of the room. 
Dis held Whitney in her arms stroking her head as she cried. Her mother had
told her that Whitney being an omega would be in a constant pain while her heat
lasted. The only way to end her pain was to mate but she couldn't do that until
her and Thorin were married next month. She had known nothing about omegas
heats until only two days ago. When she had first come to see her friend she
had seen her withering in pain. Dis had never been so happy to be a beta to not
have. She watched as Dwalin dragged her brother away from his female. She had
never seen him so barbaric acting, Thorin was always calm and collected but now
he was like a wild animal.
Dragging Thorin down the hall he heard loud footsteps coming and looked to see
Ragor and Thrain running towards them. "What happened!?" Thrain yelled but saw
Whitney's door opened and snapped his eyes to his thrashing son. Looking to
Dwalin he let out a growl before he took hold of his eldest son and dragged him
back towards his chambers. Once at the door Dwalin opened it for the two
princes, quickly stepping out of the way as Thrain quite literally threw his
son into the room. Pulling the door shut as Thorin slammed against it. Locking
the door he closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh before meeting Dwalin's
eyes.
 
***** Chapter 16 *****
It had been a rough night for the Prince. He had tried his best to beat down
the door and get to his female but it never budged. Sometime in the middle of
the night he had fallen asleep and woke up when he heard his bedroom door
finally being opened. Groaning at the pain on his side where his father had
thrown him he rolled over to see the older alpha standing above him. Thrain's
face was one of fury, "You deserve much worse than that bruise on your side. I
ought' to beat you senseless for what you did. Not only did you completely
disobey me, but got your sister to help you. What were you thinking Thorin?"
Sitting up he rubbed his head, trying to avoid his father's glare. "I just
wanted to help her..." he said "Help her?! Thorin you almost rapped her! If it
wasn't for Dwalin getting you out of there when he did you would have bedded
her." Thorin felt his heart drop to his stomach at the thought of hurting his
love. "I don't understand what happened, everything was fine. I was getting her
to eat and then it just happened..." He said in a sorrow filled voice. Thrain
let out a sigh as his son looked to him for answers, sitting on the bed next to
him he folded his hands together. "That was the reason we kept you two apart.
The two of you will be married in a month, Thorin you must learn to control
your alpha instincts by then. She will be in heat again next month on your
wedding night and you have to be able to control yourself. Whitney is small
Thorin, it will not take much to hurt her.... I believe in you. You will be a
good mate." With that Thrain left his son to his thoughts.
It was later that day when his sister came to see him. He knotted his brows at
the bag she carried. "How is she?" He asked and saw as Dis gave a small nod.
"She is doing a little better, mama said her heat should be over by tomorrow...
I was told to bring you this, You can't open it until I am gone. Father said it
will help you learn to control yourself." Thorin watched as she sat the small
brown bag on his bed before turning to leave. When she got to the door she
stopped, "She's not mad at you Thorin but she thinks you are mad at her...she
told me to tell you she was sorry." Shaking his head he hung it low, "She has
no reason to be sorry, I am the one that did wrong, not her." Dis nodded "Aye
you did." 
Once his sister was gone he looked to the bag on the bed, Grabbing it he untied
the strings and pulled it open. When the strong scent hit him Thorin felt as
his breath quickened. Reaching into the bag he pulled out a white tunic, It was
the one Whitney was wearing last night. Holding it up he saw the large tare
down the middle and closed his eyes. It was then that he felt the alpha in him
backing away. Shocked he brought the fabric to his nose and breathed in her
scent. He could smell her heat strongly on the material and felt his intense
arousal setting in. Thorin practiced not holding in the alpha but restraining
it. He imagined the look of fear on his Whitney's face and how he had hurt her.
By the end of the night he had gotten a good hold over the animal in him.
Although he knew he would need more practice by the time their wedding was here
at least this was a start.
The next day when he woke up he made his way to the dining hall to see all of
his family there along with Ragor and his wife. Jenna had not been at breakfast
since the day Whitney had first went into heat and he was surprised to see her
here now. "Good Morning Thorin." His mother said with a smile on her face.
"Morning mother, How is Whitney?" He asked and saw as Ragor looked up to meet
his eyes. "Her heat has passed thankfully." he said before taking another bite
of his food. Thorin could hear the slight growl in his voice and knew he was
still angry about what had happened. Ragor was a strong alpha male and was the
brother to Whitney's father. He too had red hair that held white streaks in it.
He wore a dark brown shirt with matching trousers. His boots and cloak were a
black fur matching his hard eyes. 
Nodding his head Thorin stood tall, "And where is she now?" Swallowing the food
in his mouth he looked to Thorin, "She is with Ketor, They went fishing with
Luk' and the lads." Knotting his brows Thorin tightened his jaw, "I thought you
said she couldn't leave the mountain..." "Aye I did. But I figured after having
to spend almost a whole week locked up in one room she deserved a reward."
Biting his tongue Thorin just nodded. Grabbing a slice of toast he made his way
to go find his female.
Getting to Luk' house Thorin knocked on the door. It wasn't long before he was
greeted by Luk' wife, Grdith. She was a nice woman, she and Luk' had two
children a boy and a girl. The beta female smiled at Thorin "Hello Prince
Thorin, What may I do for you?" She asked in a sweet voice. "I was wondering if
you have seen Whitney? I was told that she and the others went fishing." Grdith
tilted her head in confusion "No I do not think they went fishing at least not
with Luk' he is in the back yard chopping wood. Perhaps go ask him he may know.
Thorin felt his temper rise. He had not minded Whitney being with Luk' all that
much being that he already had a mate. Not wanting to upset Grdith he thanked
her and went to go talk to Luk'. He was surprised to see Ketor and Whitney's
other friends in the back yard with Luk'. Quickly Thorin realized that she was
not with them. Seeing him come walking up Ketor nodded to him in greeting.
"Where is Whitney? Ragor said that you were fishing..." Taking his pipe from
his mouth Ketor nodded. "We were going to go but all the boats are already
out." The younger alpha said before taking another drag from his pipe. Getting
frustrated Thorin threw his arms out to the side, "So where is Whitney?"He
growled Looking at him he blew out a puff of smoke, "She said she wanted to be
alone." Ketor said with a shrug of his shoulders. Feeling his anger rising
Thorin glared at the male, "Didn't you learn your lesson the first time about
letting her go off on her own?" "I know where she is... she is where she always
goes when she wants to be alone." Ketor said "And where would that be?" Thorin
asked annoyed. "Not sure if I should tell ya... Don't know if you can control
yourself." Ketor mocked making Thorin growl loudly. "Tell me where my female is
Ketor!" Smirking at his anger Ketor jumped up from where he was siting on the
log. "Come on lads we'll show Thorin where Whitney is on the way to the pub."
Following the men towards the pub Ketor stopped and pointed towards the forest.
"You'll find her at the edge of the cliff, under the big willow. I'm going to
get a mug of ale and then I'll be there, don't do anything that will make me
throw you off the cliff." Ketor told him before walking away with Luk' and his
brother. Thorin growled and shook his head before going in the direction Ketor
had pointed him in. It took a good ten minutes for him to come to the edge of
the cliff. Looking down the edge he saw the large weeping willow tree Ketor had
mentioned but Whitney wasn't under it. Walking over to it he saw her sword and
her cloak laying on it's roots but she wasn't with it. Hearing her voice he
looked up to see her high up in the tree. His eyes went wide when he saw her
balancing on one of the top branches that was hanging over the side of the
cliff. "What are you doing?!" He yelled in a panic and startling her in the
process. Thorin felt his heart stop when she lost her balance and fell off the
branch. Seeing her land on the last limb he gasped when he saw her feet
dangling down towards the drop to the bottom of the cliff. "Hold on I'm
coming." He yelled as he threw off his cloak and went to go climb to her. "No
Thorin, You stay there I can get down my self." She told him. The prince gawked
when she began swinging back and froth on the branch, "Whitney Stop! You're
going to fall!" He yelled moving to reach for her. When he saw her let go of
the branch he held his breath, knowing for sure she was going to fall but to
his surprise she didn't. With a flip in the air she landed on the ground just
under the tree.
Closing his mouth that had been open he jumped down the stand beside her.
Pulling her into his arms he held her tight. "Don't you ever scare me like that
again!" He said before pulling back to look at her. She was smiling at him and
giggling, "I wouldn't have fell if you wouldn't have scared me in the first
place. Besides I wasn't going to fall I think you forget that I am also part
elf." Shaking his head he moved to sit on the ground, pulling her to sit with
him and wrapping his cloak around her. "What were you doing up there in the
first place?" He asked while trying to calm his racing heart. "One of the birds
fell out of it's nest and I was putting it back." She told him as if it was
just a normal thing to do making him chuckle at her caring nature. 
Thorin and Whitney stayed cuddled up under the tree in silence while Ketor and
the others spared not too far away. Whitney was looking out at the waves of the
ocean down below while Thorin thought of someway to bring up what had happened.
When the wind blew her sleeve up some he caught glance of the large dark bruise
that covered her wrist. Moving his hand he pushed the sleeve up to see it was a
clear hand print, his hand print. When Whitney pulled the sleeve back down she
turned to look at his face. Guilt rested on his face. "I am so sorry Whitney."
his deep voice said. "Thorin it's okay. It was just an accident..." "No
Whitney. I knew what I was doing when I asked my sister to help me go see you.
I knew I shouldn't have disobeyed my father but I did and because of that I
hurt you I..." "Thorin do you love me?" her soft voice asked making him halt
his own words. "Aye Whitney more than anything..." He said "Then trust me when
I say it is alright. I know you would never hurt me intentionally Thorin."
Closing his eyes he rested his forehead against hers. "Tell me how to make it
up to you." he said rubbing his thumb over her cheek. "Kiss me like you did
that night." she whispered, her voice nervous and shy. Smiling Thorin leaned
forward until his lips met hers. He started out slow at first, cupping her
cheek he slowly swiped at her lower lip and pulled down on her chin with his
thumb. Opening her mouth she felt as he rolled his tongue into her mouth.
Hearing her sigh he smiled and moved his free arm to wrap around her lower
back. Pulling her to straddle his lap he continued mapping out her mouth.
Timidly she rolled her own tongue into his mouth and heard as he purred
approvingly. She was just beginning to get the hang of it when Thorin snatched
away from her with a groan of pain."Cut that shit out!" Ketor nagged, Rubbing
his head Thorin glared a Ketor who was glaring right back with another pebble
in his hand ready to throw. "Don't look at me like that Whitney ya'll aint
married yet." he said before going back to sparring with Luk'. Sighing Thorin
looked back Whitney to see her looking at her lap and blushing. Tucking a
strand of hair behind her ear he smiled. "Three more weeks amrâl and then I
will teach you how to do more than kiss." He said making her meet his lust
filled eyes.
***** Chapter 17 *****
The day has finally came that the couple had been looking forward to. Thorin
stood in the main hall with his father and brother waiting for the time when he
would go to stand at the alter. Thrain smiled at his son's nervousness,
watching as he paced back and forth. "you will wear a line in that floor if you
keep pacing..." Farin joked making Thorin stop. He had been in this state since
late last night when Dis had informed him that Whitney was back in heat. He had
been practicing restraining the alpha, he just hoped it would be enough. Seeing
his mother come down the stairs he took a deep breath, "Thorin what is wrong my
darling, it is your wedding day, you should be happy. " "He's worried he is
going to jump Whitney's bones in front of everyone." Farin exclaimed  earning a
smack to the back of his head from his father. "It will be fine my darling. You
will do fine." she told him reassuringly. Seeing Balin poke his head out they
all looked to see him nod, "it is time." letting out a deep breath Thorin
followed his father into the Great Hall. 
Upstairs Whitney waited for the time when she would make her way towards the
man she loved. The omega gave a small whimper when a wave of her heat came.
Hearing her door open she tried to hide her heat as best she could when she saw
her soon to be mother in law walk in. Dela quickly made her way over to the
girl when she saw the pain on her face. Rubbing her back until it subsided she
then handed her a glass filled with a amber liquid "Here, drink this my dear it
will help ease the pain. Without thinking Whitney took the glass and sipped at
the drink. Dela chuckled when she began coughing "I know it's not very good. I
never understood how men drank that stuff... but I promise it will help ease
your pain so bottoms up." doing as the older woman said Whitney chugged down
the rest of the drink. "There you are. Give it a few minutes and it should
begin to help." Hearing a knock on the door they looked to see Ragor walking
in. The alpha male was dressed in a fancier version of his normal attire making
Whitney giggle. "Aunt Jenna make you dress up?" She asked and heard as the
always serious dwarf just grunted in response. "I think you look very nice
Ragor... Don't worry I made Thrain dress up as well." She said as she walked
out of the room. When the two were alone Ragor made his way over to his niece,
"You are beautiful Whitney. Thorin is a lucky man... This is your mother's
dress aye?" Looking down over the white silk gown she nodded and felt as her
eyes began to water up. Lifting her chin Ragor saw as tears fell from her eyes,
"They are watching Whitney. They may not be here physically but they are here
with you. They would be so proud of the woman you have become." He told her and
heard her sniffle, "How would you know that?" She asked and Ragor gave a rare
smile. "Because I am." 
Thorin held his breath as he heard the doors open and the harps begin to play.
Seeing his father nod at him he looked behind him to see his bride. His breath
caught in his throat when he saw her. Never in his life had he seen anyone that
matched her beauty. Her long red hair fell in curls down to her waist. The gown
was a bright silky white that just seemed to float on her. Reaching him Ragor
lifted Whitney's hand and placed a light kiss to her knuckles before laying her
hand in Thorin's and moving to take his seat. Meeting her eyes he saw nothing
but love and happiness. The two stood in front of the hundreds of dwarves come
to watch their union. Repeating their vows to one another Whitney gave a giggle
when Thorin messed up once. At the end of the ceremony Thror pronounced them
husband and wife, "You may kiss your bride." Smiling Thorin leaned forward and
placed his lips against his wife's, sealing their love. 
Moving into the hall while everyone was served their food Thorin pulled his
wife against his chest. Kissing her he hummed when he tasted rum on her lips.
Pulling back he tilted his head downward to playfully glare at her, "Have you
been drinking?" Seeing her face go red she looked down at her feet, "Your
mother gave it to me. She said it would help with the pain." Thorin nodded at
this and lifted her chin, "After tonight you will no longer have to worry about
it." He told her in a deep voice. "Oh come on, you two can do that later I'm
starving!" Farin said from the door making Thorin growl and Whitney giggle. The
reception was a fun time. Thorin had led Whitney around the dance floor before
allowing her uncle Ragor to dance with her as well. They had eaten and drank
and laughed, Until Thorin could no longer hold back the alpha in him,  he took
his wife's hand and bid everyone a good night.
 Getting to the door Thorin lifted his bride into his arms making her shreek.
Kidding her lips he carried her over to the bed. Once her had layed her on her
back he balanced himself above her. Looking down he saw her face held fear.
Cupping her cheek he brought his lips to hers once again. "i love you and
therefor I will not lie to you. This will hurt at first but I promise it will
get better... I need you to trust me amrâl." Thorin told her in a deep voice.
Whitney took a deep breath and nodded. Trying to relax as much as possible she
let her eyes slip close when he began kissing down to her neck. 
Gasping when she felt him nip at her skin he moved one of his hands to unlace
the front of her dress. Wrapping his arm around her he flipped them over so she
was standing between his knees while he sat on the bed. Kissing her he slipped
the over coat from his shoulders and kicked off his boots. Pulling back to look
her in the eye he slowly pushed the silk fabric from her shoulders letting it
fall to the floor around her feet. 
Standing bare before her husband for the first time Whitney became extremely
self conscious and moved to cover herself. Thorin's hands quickly wrapped
around her wrists stopping her movements. Looking at her face he shook his head
before moving to cup one of her breasts in his palm. "not even the arkenstone
can compare to your beauty." he told her making her blush beet red. Thorin kept
her standing before him for some time while he examined his new property. Her
small frame held no hair. Skin as pale as the moon, with light pink nipples
that he wanted nothing more than to take into his mouth. Rubbing his hands down
her slightly round hips he moved to grab handfuls of her ass. Pulling her to
him he kissed at the base of her neck. 
Whitney closed her eyes and focused on the new sensations her husband was
creating. Soon he was moving his mouth downward towards her breast. He held her
close to him with one hand firmly holding her ass. The other messaged one
breast. Kissing at the soft skin he moved to suck one of her nipples into his
mouth. Bringing it between his teeth he heard her gasp and try to pull away.
The alpha male gave a small growl, warning her not to do it again. 
Thorin felt as she curled up and held her tightly before flipping them back
over. He now layed above her, ensuring she could not move away from him. He
continued his assault on her chest, sucking deep purple bruises into her skin
before soothing it with the flat of his tongue. Needing more he knelled above
her and pulled his tunic over his head. Seeing his bare chest Whitney blushed
and quickly looked away making Thorin chuckle. Moving his hands to his belt he
made quick work of dropping his trousers to lay beside the rest of the
discarded clothing on the floor. 
Moving to lay above her again he purred at the feeling of their skin finally
touching. Curling his finger under her chin he pulled her face to look at him.
Whitney looked into his eyes before timidly dropping her gaze to his body. She
could not help from moving to run her fingers through his soft chest hair,
earning a purr from her alpha. While she was busy admiring him Thorin ran his
hand down to rest at her thigh. Caressing the skin there for a moment before
slowly spreading her legs. It was then that the female was snapped out of her
trance to become afraid once again. 
Thorin could feel as she tensed up again and have another growl. "relax." he
told her and felt as she let out a shaky breath but nodded. Tracing his fingers
to her lips heard a small whimper. Running his index finger up and down her
slit before slipping a finger into her entrance. Whitney let out a soft gasp at
the intrusion but felt as Thorin nuzzled into her neck, attempting to help
sooth her. "It's alright, relax." Whitney gripped at his shoulders as he pumped
first one of his thick fingers into her before adding a second. Thorin had been
in awe at how responsive her body was to his touch, it hadn't taken long for
her slik to cover his fingers. Wanting to experience more of her he crawled
down to rest between her legs. He did nothing but look at her for some time,
running his finger over the sensitive nub. Smiling as her hips bucked. Leaning
forward her licked up her slit earning a loud whine from her. The prince lapped
at the sweet juice of his female, drinking down all she had to offer him. It
didn't take long for her hips to begin rolling of their own accord, and her
whimpers and whines to become more desperate. Quickly pulling away from her he
heard as she let out a needy whine and smirked. Lining up with her entrance she
had not even registered what he was about to do until he began pushing in.
Feeling herself stretch around him she gasped and went to flinch away from him.
Seeing her go to move away he layed back down over her, holding her down as he
thrusted his member into her body. Whitney let out a loud cry of pain when she
felt a sharp pain inside of her and tried with all her might to shove the man
from her, to stop the burning sensation. 
Thorin held her tight under him as she sobbed. He buried his face into her neck
and purred, trying to reassure her. He felt as she tried to get him off of her,
as she pushed against his chest but he would not budge. He knew it had to be
done and pushed in to the hilt before stopping his movements. "Shhh, It's
alright darling. The pain will stop soon. I'm sorry amrâl I know it hurts." He
told her on a deep soothing voice. Feeling her breathing even out he looked
down to see tears leaving her eyes. Running his nose up her cheek before taming
her lips with his own. Once he had created the distraction he slowly pulled out
of her, hearing her hiss before rolling his hips forward again. He repeated
this many times until he heard a soft moan fall from her lips. Knowing now that
the pain had passed he moved to cup her breast in his hand. His thrusts picked
up speed and became a little harder as time went on. He felt as she grasped at
his back as she was jolted forward with every slam of his hips. The alpha in
him could't help from giving a growl when she moaned out his name. It was then
that Thorin pulled from her, grabbing her hips he flipped her over to lay on
her stomach. Moving to lay back ontop of her he allowed some of his weight down
to show her she was going no where. Pushing his cock back into her small body
he heard as she moaned out. Moving to hold on of her wrists down with his hand
while the other moved her long hair out of his way. He licked at the skin of
her neck while he continued thrusting in and out of her. He could feel her
muscles fluttering around his cock and knew she was close to her climax.
Letting out a groan he felt as his knot started forming at the base of his
cock. When it was completely formed he pushed the bulge into her body feeling
it lock behind her pelvis. Whitney screamed out as her body was forced into a
orgasm by being knotted. Letting out a roar Thorin sunk his teeth into the nape
of her neck and filled her with his seed. The omega screamed when she felt him
bite her. It wasn't long before Thorin felt her go limp under him. 
Biting hard he made sure that she would carry his mark forever. Once he was
done he rolled them over to lay on their sides. Holding her close he licked at
the fresh wound on her neck. When it had stopped bleeding he smiled and placed
a light kiss to the skin. Pulling the fur over their bodies he held her close
and joined her in sleep, the alpha in him contempt with claiming what was
rightfully his.
***** Chapter 18 *****
It had been one hundred and sixty years since the dragon attacked Erabor. Much
had happened to the line of Durin since then, Thorin, Whitney, Dis and her sons
were the only ones left of the royal family. King Thror had been killed in the
battle of Moria along with Dis's husband Fillian and Farin. Thrain had yet to
be found leaving many to think he too had perished. With so much death around
them it had not come as a surprise when Dela had died of a broken heart. Thorin
never gave up hoping that his father may still be alive, that there was still
another he could look up to. This is the reason why Whitney and the new king
sat at the Green Dragon in Bree. Thorin had said he was going to look for his
father and Whitney demanded she go along with him. Sitting at the table Thorin
had ordered them a plate of Ham, cheese and bread with a mug of ale for them to
share. Looking down at his female he saw her to be fighting sleep. He had
become worried about her in the past couple of months. The new council that had
been elected after the deaths of the Durins and Ragor had brought it to
attention that Whitney had yet to provide a heir for the newly appointed king.
They had sat in front of all the older dwarf lords along with Dis and Ketor
when the subject had been brought up. Thorin had become furious when he saw the
tears his wife had tried so hard to hide. He knew how much she had already
hatted herself for being unable to conceive his child but this had just made it
worse. Asking to be excused Thorin had watched as she left the room. That night
when he had went back to their chambers to find a random woman waiting for
him. 
"What are you doing in my chambers? Where is my wife?" Thorin asked making the
woman look down. It was then that Thorin noticed she was wearing a robe. He had
quickly turned away when she dropped the robe to her feet revealing that she
was nude. "My Queen asked me to  come to you and offer my services to provide
you a child." She said making Thorin become tensed, "Please cover yourself."
Hearing a shuffling he glanced over to see she was now wearing the robe again.
"Do I not please you my lord?" She whispered in a saddened voice. "Aye... No.
It is not you...." Thorin said moving towards the embarrassed woman. Lifting
her chin he held her gaze. "I love my wife. I am honored that you were willing
to offer this but I would never be able to live with myself knowing I had
betrayed my mate." He saw as she smiled at him, "You are a wonderful husband."
Nodding his head in thanks he watched as she left. Standing there in shock at
what had just happened he was snapped out of his thoughts by remembering
Whitney. 
Looking all over the mountain for her he found her no where. Rubbing his beard
he let out a sigh, he knew where she was. Going to the cliff he found her to be
under the willow. He stopped when he saw her curled up at it's roots crying.
Slowly moving over to her he looked to see a now empty bottle of rum laying
beside her feet. Her face was hidden in her knees but he heard her quiet sobs
clearly. Kneeling down he rubbed her head, "amrâl, Do not cry. what is wrong?"
He asked in a deep but gentle voice. "Thorin?... Are you done?" She asked in a
sob looking up at him with red eyes. "Done with what darling?" He asked but
then realized what she meant. Shaking his head he pulled her into his arms.
"No... No amrâl I would never betray you. I would never lie with another."
Thorin held her tight in his arms as she cried. "But you have to have a
heir..." She sobbed. "I will have a heir, one day WE will have a child. It is
just going to take time." He said kissing the top of her head. Feeling the rain
start he pulled her to her feet. "Come let's get you inside." Walking a little
ways he quickly found her to be drunk when she stumbled into his side. Sighing
he lifted her up into his arms. "Where did you get the rum?" he asked. "Forced
Ketor to get it..."She mumbled nuzzling her face into his hair. "Of course." He
said with a roll of his eyes.
That had been months ago and still they had not had any luck. Sighing he glance
up from the table to see men around the pub looking at them. Becoming worried
about her safety he wrapped his arm around her before pulling her deeper into
his side. When she looked up at him he just nodded at the plate, "Eat amrâl."
he said not wishing more stress on her. When the men went to advance he quickly
grabbed the hilt of his sword in one hand while holding his female's hip with
the other. Suddenly there was a man sitting in front of the couple. Both Thorin
and Whitney knotted their brows, "Mind if I join you?... I'll have the same."
The old man said to a passing waitress. Thorin looked to see the men backing
away, looking back he saw the man smiling at Whitney, "I should introduce
myself, My name is Gandalf, Gandalf the Grey." Thorin raised his chin and
nodded, "I know who you are."
The three sat talking for some time of Thrain, Whitney letting out a sigh and
moving to hold her husbands hand, She knew the pain he flelt of loosing his
family. The weight of being king placed on his shoulders. Seeing Gandalf reach
into his pocket she watches as he unrolls the script message and slides it
across the table to Thorin, "It is Black Speech." He said making Thorin look at
him with unease and pull back his females hand when she went to reach for it.
"A promise of payment..." "For what?" Thorin asked "Your heads. Someone wants
both of you dead. Thorin, you can wait no longer. You are the heir to the
throne of Durin. Unite the armies of the dwarves, together you have the might
and power to retake Erebor... Summon a meeting of the seven dwarf families,
demand they stand by their oath." Sighing Thorin looked at him with
annoyance."The seven armies swore that oath to the one who wields the King’s
jewel, the Arkenstone. It is the only thing that will unite them, and in case
you have forgotten, that jewel was stolen by Smaug." Hearing her husband's
temper coming out Whinety rubs his leg under the table making him look at her
and take a deep breath. "What if I were to help you reclaim it?" Gandalf said
making Whitney knit her brows and look at the man. "How? The Arkenstone lies
half a world away, buried beneath the feet of a fire breathing dragon."
Smirking Gandalf took out his pipe, "Yes, it does. Which is why we’re going to
need a burglar."
Thorin had decided to go take back his kingdom, much to his female's dismay.
"You can't go! Thorin it's a death trap!" She yelled as he packed his bag.
Looking up he saw her crying. "Darling I have no choice it is my duty...!" "NO!
It's not your duty it's just something you want!" She growled making Thorin
glare at her, "Woman I'm warning you. Do not test me." he said pointing his
finger at her, "Or what? You will leave me? Too late Thorin your already doing
that!" Giving a loud growl he quickly jumped to grab her. Pinning her to the
bed under him he stared daggers down at her. "DO YOU THINK I WANT TO LEAVE
YOU?! THAT I WANT TO BE AWAY FROM YOU FOR MORE THAT A SECOND?!... I love you, I
love you more than anything in this world!" the small omega trembled in fear as
she looked up at her alpha. Hard yellow eyes stared down at her with a mouth
filled with his sharp teeth. When Thorin heard the small Whimper and saw the
tears filling her blue eyes he let out a sigh. Laying his head on her chest he
kissed ht e skin there, "I don't want to leave you. I will come back for you
darling, I promise... I'll come back." 
Early the next morning Thorin looked down at the small omega laying naked under
the furs. After their fight last night he had made love to her for hours,
spending as much time memorizing her body. The only other time they had been
apart was when he went to war. That had been for three months, who knew how
long this journey would take. Stroking the side of her face with his knuckles
he bent down to place a kiss of her forehead. "I love you... my world." he
whispered. Laying the note he had wrote for her on the side table telling her
goodbye. He wished he could have told her in person but knew it was easier this
way. Grabbing his bag he quietly made his way out of the room. 
Hearing the door close Whitney's eyes popped open. Sitting up she went over to
the window in their room. Waiting until she saw his horse leaving before she
threw on her fathers mithril vest and got dressed in a pair of black trousers,
grey tunic, fur boots and her cloak. Grabbing her own bag she had packed from
under the bed she looked back at the room once more before leaving to follow
her husband.... if he was to die, she would die right along side of him.
***** Chapter 19 *****
Whitney watched as the dwarves made their way into the hobbit's home. Deciding
now was as good a time as ever she went to the door and knocked three times.
Suddenly the door opened to reveal a not to happy looking hobbit. He looked as
if he was going to tell her off at first but stopped when he looked at her.
"I..I ah... " Bilbo what is it?" a deep voice said before the door opened more.
Whitney Smiled at the tall Wizard, "Hello Gandalf." She said with a smile and
saw as he gave her a smile that said she was going to be in trouble soon.
"Bilbo this Whitney Oakensheild... please show her to the rest of the company."
Looking up at Gandalf Bilbo bowed his head before allowing her inside his home.
Walking into the room full of dwarves Whitney saw them all to be eating. She
knew all of them from home, some had originated from Erabor some from the blue
mountains. Seeing their bad table manners she crossed her arms over her chest
and raised her chin, "Oi, Where are your manners?" Hearing the female's voice
all movement stopped and they turned to look at her. "Auntie Whitney!? What are
you doing here?" Kili said as he lowered his hand that was raised to throw a
biscuit. "I apologize for my nephews behavior Master Baggins." She said looking
at the hobbit. "Come lassie eat." Balin said pulling up a chair for her to sit
in. Placing a plate in front of her she began eating her food while the others
cleaned up. She tapped her foot along to the music as dishes were thrown in the
air and the hobbit looked worrisome. Giggling she looked to see Dwalin shaking
his head at her. "What?" She asked  as he eyes went back to her food. "He is
not going to be very forgiving when he finds out you disobeyed him." The strong
warrior said with a sigh. "He'll get over it." she mumbled but tensed up when a
loud knock flooded the room. "He is here." Gandalf said.
They all gathered by the door when Gandalf went to open it, Whitney hiding
behind Dwalin's wide form. "...Wouldn't have found it all had it not been for
that mark on the door." Thorin's deep voice rang. "There is no mark on that
door it was painted a week ago.." Bilbo insisted. Clearing his throat Gandalf
placed his hand on the Bilbo's shoulder. "Bilbo allow me to introduce the
leader of our company, Thorin Oakensheild." Tilting his head to the side Bilbo
stood tall, "Oakensheild? So are you Miss Whitney's husband?" he asked making
Thorin knot his brows and glare down at the hobbit. "How do you know my
wife?"he asked with a slight growl. "Well she... she was here earlier...." the
hobbit said as he looked around the room for the woman. Thorin's breaths became
heavy and he tightened his jaw. "Whitney!?" he growled and watched as Dwalin
stepped aside to reveal his small mate. She had her chin dipped down but met
his eyes and gave him a guilty smile. "Hi alpha." She said in a small voice.
When his growl filled the room her gaze dropped to the floor. "Come here." He
said in a commanding voice that sent chills down her spine. Slowly walking over
to stand in front of him she kept her gaze on the floor but looked to see
everyone staring at her with pity. "inkhirî!" He shouted making everyone
quickly leave the room. Looking up Whitney saw his eyes full of rage. She
flinched when he grabbed hold of the back of her neck and led her outside.
Dragging her into the small forest outside of the village he stopped by a
fallen tree. Pushing her to it he pinned her down so that she was bent over it.
"What do you think you are doing her! I told you to stay in the blue mountains!
You deliberately disobeyed me, Make me look like a fool in front of everyone,
as if I cannot control my omega! You leave me no choice this time Whitney, I
give you too much leniency , you will be punished." He growled beside her ear
as he pulled his belt from his waist. Hearing the snap of his belt Whitney
flinched. Leaning up Thorin pulled her trousers down her legs to leave her ass
bare. Holding her down with one hand he raised the belt with the other. Feeling
her shaking he stood tall and remembered what he had to do. "I am sorry." he
told her before swinging the belt, she cried out as the leather met her skin,
setting it on fire. Again and again he brought it down on her backside until he
voice was hoarse from screaming. Letting out a sigh Thorin dropped his hand to
his side and looked at his wife. She laid bent over on the tree, her legs
shaking under her. The skin of her ass red and raw with quickly forming welts
as wide as his belt. He could hear her sniffling and closed his eyes as the
realization of what he had just done came to. Knowing he couldn't break he
removed his member from his trousers and began stroking it as he rubbed her
lower back. Moving to rub her lips he gave a feral growl and felt as her slick
covered his fingers. Placing the head of his cock at her entrance he heard her
whimper. "Hush. This is your fault. You will  learn to obey me." He said in a
stern voice making her lip quiver. What she didn't see was the look of remorse
on his face. Without reading her he slammed into her core making her gasp out.
She cried with every thrust of hips. His pelvis slapping against the raw skin
of her ass. She wanted to push him away but knew it would only anger him more,
so she gripped the tree as hard as she could. Biting her lip until she tasted
blood to keep from screaming.
Thorin gripped her hip bones with enough pressure to bruise, holding her in
place as he slammed into her. Groaning he threw his head back as he felt his
climax coming.  Moving his hand down around her stomach he began to rub circles
on the bundle of nerves. It didn't take long for her to begin whining for
release. "Cum!" he commanded and felt as his omega obeyed her alpha's orders.
Her muscles milking him of his seed. Growling he stayed buried in her as deep
as possible, insuring that all of his cum filled her womb. Once he was done
Thorin pulled out of her with a wet pop and looked down to see her small hole
dripping with his thick white seed. Putting his belt back on he moved over to
her and gently rubbed his knuckles over her backside hearing as she whimpered.
Pulling her trousers back up he tried his best to keep from hitting the area.
Once they were tied around her waist he scoped her up into his arms, hearing
her whine in pain he looked down to see her small body trembling and tears
rolling down her cheeks along with red blotches from crying. 
Sitting on the ground he held her in his arms. Rocking her small frame he
placed light kisses over her forehead and rubbed her back. He could hear her
still crying and felt terrible. Placing his lips to her head he closed his
eyes. "Why did you come?" He mumbled into her hair. "I...I want...wanted to
help y...you." she sobbed. Letting out a sigh he shook his head. "I didn't want
you to come for a reason amrâl. This quest is too dangerous as it is and now I
have to worry about your safety as well. Not to mention your heats." Looking
down at her he saw guilt and sadness. "I'm sorry." She mumbled out as another
tear fell from her eye. ..You will do as I say. You are not to leave my side
are we clear?" he asked and saw as she nodded. Knowing she would soon be asleep
he stood and carried her back to the hobbit's home to continue the meeting.
For the next few weeks the Company of Thorin Oakensheild moved east with no
problems so far. They had stopped for the few days of Whitey's heat, camping by
a small spring the two went off into the woods to camp alone. Dwalin and Balin
had been in charge of the company during their absents and made sure everyone
stayed in line. It had came to no surprise when they were all siting by the
fire one night after supper that Bilbo had asked the obvious question. "Where
exactly are Thorin and Whitney? They have been gone for two days... Are they
alright?" Gandalf gave a small cough of around his pipe and looked to Balin for
assistance. Taking a deep breath the oldest dwarf looked to Bilbo and gave a
soft smile. "Do you know anything of dwarven customs laddie?" Seeing him shake
his head he heard a snort and saw his brother, Dwalin rolling his eyes. "Well
in our race their are three ranks of people, Alphas, Betas and Omegas. Alphas
are the highest ranking of the three and can only be males. Betas are what most
of us are and are the middle class and can be either male or female. Lastly are
the omegas, they are extremely rare and can only be females...""Mmmhm. So who
is who?" The hobbit asked looking around the group. "All the dwarves you see
here are betas except for Gloin and Thorin, they are both Alphas..." "What
about Whitney?" he asked making Dwalin give his brother a look of warning. He
knew if Thorin was to hear them talking about his mate he would not be very
happy. "She laddie is an omega... one of only six born in 400 years. They are a
very interesting breed to say the least. Every month they go into heat... ah a
breeding season. They have to mate laddie or they will be in much pain..."
Bilbo's eyes went wide at this and a red blush covered his cheeks. "So.. they
are matting then? All this time?" He asked shocked by how long the two had been
coupling... "Enough! It is no concern of yours or any of ours for that matter."
Dwalin said standing up for his king and queen. Looking at the ground Bilbo
knew he was right, "Forgive me, you are right." he said before rolling over and
going to sleep.
The next morning it was raining when Dwalin woke them all up and told them to
pack everything up, that they would be moving on today. By the time they were
on their ponies Thorin's pony broke through the tree line. Bilbo looked to see
Whitney sitting side saddle in front of Thorin. The king had his arms wrapped
around her to hold the reins of his pony in front of her. Bilbo couldn't help
but worry for the woman that looked completely drained. Her eyes were barley
open as she leaned into Thorin's chest. Once the company was moving he rode his
horse up to ride beside the intimidating male, tensing when Thorin's eyes
snapped to his. Before he could say anything Bilbo held out one of the roast
beef sandwiches he had saved from last night. "I thought the two of you may be
hungry." he said in a small voice. Thorin's face softened at the hobbit's
thoughtfulness and watched carefully as Whitney's head lifted some to smile at
Bilbo. With a shaking hand she reached out to take the sandwich from him. Bilbo
let out the breath he had been holding in when Thorin gave him a great full
nod. Looking back down at the woman he saw her give him a tired smile. He
couldn't help when his eyes drifted to the many bruises that covered her neck.
When he saw the large mark on her neck that resembled a bite he sucked in his
breath getting Thorin's attention. The dwarf King was quick to cover his mate
with the cloak, shielding her from the other mans eyes. Bilbo looked to see
Thorin's face back in that firm glare and nodded his head before letting his
pony fall behind to ride beside Gandalf.
Gandalf raised his brows when the hobbit's eyes creased in confusion.
"Something bothering you Bilbo?" his deep voice asked. Breaking his gaze from
the two at the front Bilbo looked to the gray wizard. "Whitney... her neck...
she had a...a..Did Thorin hurt her?" He stuttered all to confused by the
situation. Gandalf raised his brows before glancing up at the two mates. He
watched as Whitney tried to feed her alpha male some of the sandwich and smiled
when Thorin just nodded down telling her to eat. Looking back to the road in
front of him he sat up some. "I can assure you Bilbo Thorin would never hurt
her in any way unnecessary. He is after all an alpha, it is in his blood to
care for his mate... The mark you saw is a claiming mark, one made during an
act of matting between a alpha and omega. It is completely natural and
something that she is used to. Do not worry my friend our leader take good care
of his female... But i will warn you not to push your boundaries when it comes
to Whitey, Thorin will be quick to act upon his possessive instincts." 
Thinking about what Gandalf had told him he watched the interesting couple from
afar. He listened as Gandalf and the other dwarves talked about the weather and
the other wizards that protected these lands. When they came to a stop for the
night he would cautiously look up from his bowl of soup to see Thorin dip his
head to her neck and lick at the wound. Watch him lure her to sleep as he
played with her long red hair before he too seemed to drift off with her head
in his lap and his cloak covering her form. 
***** Chapter 20 *****
Chapter Notes
     So I have decided to stop writing fan fiction. I will finish up Alpha
     dwarf and maybe write another chapter for The Animal within. If
     anyone has any requests I will accept them until the end of February.
     Sorry just don’t have any motivation anymore. Thank you to everyone
     that reads my crappy work and decided I was worth your time.
Whitney sat on the small stone by the once home that was now ruins. She
listened as her alpha and Gandalf exchanged harsh words on wither or not they
should go to Rivendale. When Gandalf had had enough he had stormed off and
Thorin had commanding the others to start a fire and begin cooking. Seeing Fili
and Kili standing about she stood and went to walk over to them. "Would you two
look after the ponies for the night?" she asked and saw as they both smiled at
her before nodding and walking away. Hearing a stream of water near by she
grabbed her bag and walked in the direction of it. Finding the small spring she
felt the water to find it slightly cold but smelling herself she thought it was
well worth it. Undressing everything but her breast bindings and underwear she
grabbed the bar of soap and stepped into the water, letting out a hiss at the
cold water. Getting waist deep she bent down to wet up to her shoulders before
rubbing the bar of soap in her hands to make a thick lather. Rubbing the suds
into her skin she sighed at how much better she felt.
Back at the camp Thorin made sure everyone was doing as he ordered before
looking around for his wife. Not seeing her he turned to Bofur, one of her good
friends. "Bofur, Have you seen Whitney?" he asked and saw as the dwarf looked
at him, "Aye, the lass went thata way." he told him while pointing in the
direction of the forest. Tightening his jaw Thorin nodded his head in thanks
before going to look for her. A small ways in he heard splashing and pushed
back a bush to see his mate waist deep in the water. Seeing her clothes laying
on the rocks drying off in the sun from being washed. She had her back to him
and he smiled as he snuck over to her. Going to touch her shoulder he stopped,
"Thorin Oakensheild you better not touch me with your nasty hands after I just
got all clean." she said making him chuckle. Standing he began undressing, "And
how did you know it was me? What if some other man found you out here nude and
vulnerable." He asked as he stepped into the water behind her, "I pity the man
that ever ties to touch me... You see I have this husband that is very
possessive of me, hates for other men to even look at me.." she said in an
amused voice as she washed her hair. Rubbing the bar of soap over his chest and
arms Thorin gave a smirk, "He sounds like an ass." He said looking at her. "He
is... thinking about trading him in for another..." She said with a shrug of
her shoulder but never got to finish her sentence as she was tackled into the
water, letting out a yelp of surprise. Popping up out of the water they stayed
bending down so their shoulders were just barley above the water, she looked to
see him glaring down at her playfully. Snatching on her arm he pulled her to
straddle his lap and placed his hands on her shoulder blades that were covered
by her long hair. Dipping his head he pressed his lips to hers. Licking at her
bottom lip before rolling his tongue into her mouth.
When he needed air he fisted his hands in her hair under his hands and pulled
down so that she arched her neck back. Trailing kisses to her neck he licked
and sucked small love marks into her skin to show all the men who's she was.
Biting down lightly he heard her gasp out and move down to her chest, sucking
her pert nipples into his mouth.He could feel how hard they were from the cold
water but felt as they became softer by the warmth of his mouth. When he had
her moaning out he pulled back, letting her nipple pop out f his mouth. Looking
down at her lust filled eyes he smirked when she looked confused, "Better stop
now... with you trading me in and all..." he said with a chuckle making her
smack his chest and move to his throat. Licking at his skin he felt as her
hands moved to rub up his abdomen and chest. Letting out a purr he flinched
when she bit down on his neck. Growling he pulled her back some and smiled at
her before continuing where he left off. 
When the two were done they redressed in their clothes that were now clean and
dry before heading back to camp. Seeing everyone else eating Bofur was quick to
serve them their food with a wink, "I see ya found er'...took ya a while to
bring er' back to camp."he said making the rest of the company give a wolf
call. Whitney blushed beet red and smacked his shoulder as Thorin just raised
his chin and chuckled. Leading his mate over to where their bedrolls were set
up they ate their food. All was fine and dandy before Fili and Kili burst
through the tree line. Both were out of breath and gasping for air. Thorin was
quick to stand, "What wrong?" his deep voice asked before both of the boys
looked up to him and gulped, "Trolls."
 When all the company went to fight Thorin looked back to his mate and shook
his head, "No. You stay here..." "But..." NO Whitney. DO not leave this
blanket. Understood?" Seeing her from he looked at her and furrowed his brows
and saw as she nodded. Looking away from him he could tell she was angry,
"Don't pout darling, I only want to keep you safe." he told her bending down to
kiss the crown of her head.Turning Whitney watched as they all ran towards
where the trolls were. 
She had been sitting there for over an hour now and none of them had returned.
She chewed at her fingernails, her nerves getting the better of her. What if
something had happened to them? Hearing the trees bending and loud thumps she
quickly hid behind one of the large boulders. Peeking out from around it she
saw as a troll looked around their camp. He moved around bags and gave a scoff
before walking back towards the way he came. No longer worried about what her
mate had said she followed the beast. 
"Go search their camp for anymore!" one of the trolls had ordered the other
making Thorin's blood run cold. Whitney. She was at the camp. "No!" he yelled
thrashing about in the bag he had been thrown in. "Quiet you!" the angrier of
the three trolls yelled before kicking him and making his way towards the camp.
Thorin groaned as the troll kicked him and looked around for anything to aid
him in escaping. It wasn't long before the troll came back, seeing him empty
handed Thorin let out a relieved sigh. "Nothing!" He yelled making the other
trolls growl. "Don't bother cooking em', let's just sit on em' and squash them
into jelly..." "They should be sauted and grilled with a sprinkle of sage."
"That does sound quit nice." The trolls said to one another. Hearing about how
they would be cooked made the dwarves groan and thrash trying to escape.
Whitney listened to the trolls talk from high in the tree top where she was
hiding, She face palmed herself when Bilbo mentioned that they needed to be
skinned first. She knew the little hobbit was only trying to help but that was
a terrible way of doing it. When One of the Trolls lifted Bomber up and dangled
him over his mouth Whitney panicked. Aiming the slingshot she had taken from
Kili a few nights ago when he wouldn't stop shooting Bilbo with it. Letting the
band go the rock smacked the troll right on the nose. "Oy what was that?"He
yelled dropping Bomber and holding onto his nose. "What now?!" the other one
said before Whitney Shot him on the back of the neck causing him to groan out.
All three trolls were now looking about for whatever was causing them pain.
Whitney giggled from where she was hiding, looking down she met her alpha's
eyes. She saw anger and fear. When one of the trolls noticed her red hair in
the green of the leaves he quickly reached forward and grabbed her. Holding her
up by her leg he roared at her. "Looky what we got ere'. A girly dwarf." The
angrier of the three said, poking at her chest. Swinging around by her leg
Whitney growled up at the troll. Thorin was panicking now as the monsters poked
and prodded at his female. "I wounder does she taste any sweeter than the
others?"He said as he held her over his mouth, ready to swallow her whole. "No!
Not her... she..she's infected!" Bilbo quickly said causing all of them to stop
and look to him. Thorin gave a loud growl at the hobbit insulting his mate.
"You what?" "She.. she is a half breed... her blood is poison!" He yelled.
Hearing what bilbo had said the troll quickly threw Whitney to the ground
making her yelp in pain. "What do you take us for fools." one of the trolls
said as he went to pick Whitney back up. "THE DAWN WILL TAKE YOU ALL!" the all
heard Gandalf yell before bringing his staff down on the large rock revealing
the sun. All the dwarves cheered as the trolls turned to stone before their
eyes. 
Once they were all free Thorin quickly went to his wife's side and pulled her
into his arms. "I've never been so afraid in all my life." he mumbled into her
hair. "What were you thinking?" he scowled down at her. "I couldn't let them
eat Bomber." she said and saw as he just shook his head and pulled her into his
arms. When he hugged her she let out a hiss in pain. Looking down he saw her
face contorted into pain. "What is it?" he asked and saw as her hand went to
her side. "My side hurts." she whispered and let him lead her away. Picking her
up he sat her down on the large rocks and lifted her tunic to see the skin over
her ribs quickly turning purple. "Oin!" Thorin yelled making the older dwarf
come forward. Looking at her ribs the healer went to gently run his fingers
over the area. Whitney flinched away and let out a whimper at his touch. "Sorry
lassie... I'm afraid they are broken." He said with a shake of his head. "What
can you do?" Thorin asked ad Oin shook his head, "Not much, Bind them." Nodding
Whitney took in short breaths. When Gandalf came over to inform them of the
troll cave Thorin was hesitant to leave his mates side but she smiled and told
him it was okay. 
When the cave had been explored they all turned to leave when Kili yelled,
"Something's coming!" Thorin was quick to run over to Whitney and take up arms
in front of her. When a sled with larger than normal rabbits burst through the
clearing they all looked confused. "Thieves, Fire, Murder!" Cocking her head to
the side Whitney laughed out loud before moving around her husband. Grabbing
her arm Thorin stopped her. "Radagast!? What are you doing here?" she asked
with a giggle and saw as he looked to her. His once terified face turned into a
smile, "Whitney my dear! It is so good to see you... You have grown into a
beautiful woman, just as your mother." he said before twitching when Gandalf
placed a hand on his shoulder. "Oh Gandalf I have been looking for you!"
While the two wizards talked Thorin led his wife away. "And do I want to know
how you know the strange man?" he asked while looking over her ribs that were
now bandaged. "He was a friend of my mothers. He used to bring me candies and
new pets when I was a little girl, much to my fathers annoyance." she said with
a giggle. Chuckling Thorin watched as her eyes went to his sword. "Oh, Look
what I found in the troll cave..." He said unsheathing the blade to show her.
When she ran her fingers over the blade it instantly became shiny, like it had
just been made. Snapping his eyes to hers he saw her smiling, "It's an elvish
sword, being half elf it reacts to my touch." she said making him nod. "Perhaps
you should take it then..." He said but saw her shake her head. "No it is
yours.. besides I have my own." she said holding up the sword that had been her
fathers... the one Thrain had made. Thorin gave a soft smile, trying to hide
the pain he felt at the loss of his father. Seeing her mates sadness she moved
to cup his cheek. Lifting his gaze to meet her own she smiled softly at him
before moving forward to place her lips on his. Just before their lips could
meet a warg jump forth. Thorin quickly cut down the large wolf looking
creature. Seeing Gandalf come forth he and Thorin began arguing. Hearing the
sounds of the wargs Whitney began to go into a panic, her breathing becoming
fast and shallow. "Whitney! Whitney darling calm down. It's okay, I won't let
them get you..." Thorin said shaking her shoulders a bit to snap her out of her
panicked state. "What's wrong with her?" Bilbo asked Fili in the background
only to see him shake his head, "I don't know. I've never seen her like this."
When Thorin saw her face grow pale he cupped her face in his palms. "Shh...
deep breaths amrâl." he purred to her. "I'll drawl them off." "These are
gungdbar orcs they will outrun you..." These are ruscapel rabbits... i'd like
to see them try." Radagast smiled. Lifting his mate into his arms Thorin held
on to her tightly and began to run.
***** Chapter 21 *****
Arriving in Rivendale Thorin held his female in arms while Gandalf talked with
one of the elves. When a group of horses rode up and proceeded to surround them
Thorin moved to the center of the group with Whitney pulled tightly to his
chest. Seeing her head moving around to see she gave a smile before wiggling,
attempting to get down from his hold. Sitting her on her feet he gave a growl
and held tight to her hips when she went to walk away, "Oh come now Thorin..."
She said pushing his hands from her and quickly going over to one of the elves.
Thorin was quick to follow after her and tensed up when the elf that was
talking to Gandalf turned to her and cupped her cheeks. "Nin Sister's -iel. How
cin gar- grown. Im gar- missed cin so."  he said as he pulled back to look her
over. When his eyes drifted to the angry looking dwarf behind her Lord Elrond
stood tall and bowed his head to him. Turing around Whitney saw Thorin tensed
and moved to hold his hand. "Thorin this is my uncle Elrond, my mother's
brother. Elrond this is my husband ..." "Throin son of Thrain... You have your
grandfather's barrings. I knew Thror when he ruled under the mountain..."
Elrond said but Thorin only moved to stand closer to his mate. "Funny he made
no mentions of you..." "Thorin!" Whitney scowl. Seeing someone coming running
towards them their eyes snapped forward just as a woman embraced Whitney into a
large hug. "Whitney! Oh I can't believe you are here!" She said but stopped
when Whitney let out a hiss in pain. Pulling back Elrond creased his brows and
looked to see Whitney holding her hand over her ribs. "You are injured."
Shaking her head Whitney smiled up at the woman, "Nothing major.. It is nice to
see you too Arwin." she said looking at her cousin. "What happened?" Arwin said
going to lift her tunic. "Arwin! Not here.." Whitney screeched turning red at
all the people around. "Why don't you go help tend to her wounds my daughter
while I show the others where they can rest."Elrond said making Arwin nod and
begin pulling Whitney away. Thorin was confused by the whole ordeal, he was the
one used to be giving demands. Knowing his mate was in pain he let out a sigh
before nodding to the rest of the group and following the two women if front of
him.
Thorin Gently carried his wife into the adjoining room to the one Arwin had led
them to. She had told them that the bath drawn for them had herbs to help ease
Whitney's pain and relax. Seeing the large steaming tub Thorin stepped over the
side into the hot water. Moving to sit he held his wife in his lap and sighed
as he felt his sore muscles relaxing for the first time in months. He stroked
his wet hand over Whitney's arm and shoulder, careful not to hit her side.
Kissing at her neck and shoulders he couldn't help from becoming hard at having
alone time with her. When his member pushed against her bottom she moved to
look up at him. "No... you were very rude to Elrond." She told him with
furrowed brows making him huff out. "He did nothing to you..." She said
becoming annoyed by his judging of her family. "He is the same as the others.."
"The other what Thorin?!" She asked moving off of his lap to sit in front of
him. "Elves... the same as all other elves. The soon to turn their backs on
anyone that isn't as high class as themselves! I hate even being in their
presence." He snarled making Whitney crease her brows, standing she went to get
out of the tub. "If you think that of all elves then mahal knows what you must
think of me...I will not force you to be in presence any longer." she said in a
soft voice that he could tell held much pain. Before he could think of anything
to say she had left the room, closing the door behind her. Groaning he rubbed
his hands over his face. Thinking of what he had just done, he slammed his fist
down on the stone wall and threw his head back. So much for a relaxing bath.
Whitney had quickly threw on one of the robes in the room before walking out
into the gardens she remembered as a child. How simple times had been back
then. Her parents were still alive and happy. She remembered coming to
Rivendale every few months so that her and her mother could see their family.
She knew dwarves and elves had never fully gotten along but her father had put
up with them because he knew when he had taken a elf as his mate he was
accepting all of her. Sitting on the stone bench Whitney ran her fingers over
the long marriage braid at her temple. It had been there since her wedding
night. After she and Thorin had made love and rested she awoke to him braiding
the intricate braid into her hair. He had told her that he loved her and he
always would but thinking now she no longer knew how long that love would last.
Did he truly accept all of her or only the half of her that was dwarf. They
never talked about her elven side. He had never asked about her mothers side of
the family, what if he didn't want that side of her. If they ever did have
children would he think differently of them for being part elf. Hanging her
head she let out a small yelp when she felt someone touch her shoulder. Turing
she saw her cousin Arwin standing there with a concerned look. Giving her a
forced smile the elven woman smiled before pulling her to her feet and leading
her away.
Thorin had soaked int the bath for some time thinking of what he had done. He
knew he should not have said what he did. Whitney was after all half elf and he
had known that when he had fell in love with her. It angered him to know he had
caused her to be sad, even worse made her think that he didn't want that side
of her. Thinking e realized he had never even talked with her about her elven
side, not in the one hundred and sixty years they had been married. Knowing he
had to make it up to her he quickly got out of the bath a dressed for dinner.
Meeting Gandalf in the hall he followed the Wizard into a great hall of sorts
only with no walls. Looking around he did not see his mate and furrowed his
brows. "I do believe Whitney and Arwin are having their own little reunion
dinner." Elrond said leaning closer to Thorin. Taking a deep breath Thorin
nodded his head. 
Supper had went well he had talked to Elrond about many of things and had even
learnt the name of his new sword. After bofur's little performance he had been
surprised to see Whitney had still not returned. Giving her time he had
followed Gandalf and Elrond to a spare room. When the elf had said he could
read the map he, Balin and Bilbo had went to stand before the moon stone. "The
last night of Durin's day..." That was only three months away. Taking a deep
breath he thanked Elrond before going in search of his female, they had been
apart for long enough. Not finding her in their room he walked around the moon
lit gardens. He was surprised to find even though it was dark that the moon
gave enough light for him to see everything clearly. 
After about thirty minutes he was beginning to get worried until he walked by a
small hidden area. Stopping mid stride he looked over to see her sitting on the
marble floor looking up at two statues. Inspecting the intensely carved stone
he saw it to be her parents. They were sanding side by side in one another's
embrace. Hearing a sniffle he moved his gaze back to his mate. His brow
furrowed when he noticed she was crying, he knew she missed her family. She had
told him once that she wouldn't have even known what they look like if it not
for the pictures. He cursed himself when he thought of how selfish he had been
all these years. Seeing her now he saw the child that not even got to know what
it was like to feel the love of her family. True she had Ketor and him but it
wasn't the same. He had been so sad by the thought of his own parents death but
at least he had had time with them where as she had only five or six years.
Straightening up he made a promise to himself. When the mountain was reclaimed
he would ask her more about her family. Would learn more about her elven side.
Would be a better husband.
Slowly moving over to her he moved to sit behind her rubbing her arm gently
when he saw her jump. The two sat in silence for some time until he ran his
nose up her cheek. "I am sorry amrâl. I have not been a good mate to you and I
want to apologize." She said nothing as she leaned into his chest and nuzzled
his neck, silently telling him she forgave him. Looking down at her he kissed
the top of her head. Seeing the different flowers in her hair he knotted his
brows and lifted one of the new braids to inspect it. He had to hold back his
fury at knowing another had touched her hair. In the dwarven community ones
hair was only to be touched by their mate, it was a very intimate gesture.
Seeing her smile he raised one brow and looked to her. "Arwin did it.. she said
you would have to make up your previous actions to me by getting them out." Not
being able to keep from smiling he chuckled and moved his hands to hold onto
her thighs as he lifted her up. "Then I best get started." he said as he
carried her to their room. 
***** Chapter 22 *****
Thorin lifted Whitney who was now exhausted up to carry her tightly in his arms
up the mountain side. He could barely hear her small whimpers or smell her
oncoming heat. The rain felt like needles hitting their skin and the wind was
strong enough to make her almost fall off twice now. Thunder and lightning
boomed loud in the sky making him have to shout back to the company. "We must
find shelter!" He yelled just as Dwalin pointed to the sky "look out!" As a
giant bolder was thrown against the mountain side. Thorin covered his omegas
small frame with his own as rocks fell down around them. "This is no
thunderstorm, it's a thunder battle." Balin said when two stone giants came out
from the mountains around them. 
Trying to dodge the falling rocks, the mountain they were on began to move,
separating the group in half. Taking the opportunity when the part they were on
got close to the side Thorin quicky jumped onto the still rock with his part of
the company following. They watched in horror as the other half of the company
was crushed between the two mountain sides.
"No! Fili!" Whitney cried thinking her eldest nefew had perished. Going around
the corner they all let out a sigh of relief at seeing they were alright.
Thorin and Whitney were quick to embrace their nefew. "Are your alright?" She
asked him and saw him give a smile "aye auntie." "... Bilbo where's Bilbo?!"
Bofur yelled making everyone look around. Seeing him hanging over the edge
Whitney quickly grabbed his hand. His weight soon turned out to be too much for
the female when she was pulled over the side.
Thorin watched in horror as his female was pulled over the mountain side.
Jumping over he held onto the rocks with one hand while he grabbed the Hobbit
with the other, throwing him rather roughly back onto the ledge. Looking down
he saw Whitney clinging to the side for life as her feet kicked and thrashed,
trying to find something to stand on. "I'm coming amrâl, just hold on!" He
yelled, climbing down to her. 
Reaching out he grabbed her just as her hand slipped off the wet stone.
Swinging her around to his back he felt her arms wrap around his neck, pulling
his hair slightly. "Hold on tight." He told her, hearing her crying. Climbing
back up the mountain side he felt Dwalin lifted Whitney from his back to pull
her up. Rolling onto the ledge he stood and pulled his shaking mate into his
arms. Petting her head he looked over her shoulder to the Hobbit, growling. "I
thought we lost our burglar." Dwalin said. Lifting Whitney up he went to look
for a cave, "he's been lost ever since he left home, he shouldn't have come he
has no place amongst us." He growled. "Thorin..." He heard Whitney go to say
but quickly tightened his hold on her, "hush." 
Whitney grew quiet, obeying the command of her alpha. She felt bad for Bilbo
and knew that thorin was only upset about what had happened, he didn't mean it.
Meeting Bilbo sad eyes over thorin shoulders she gave him an apologetic look.
"Over here, there's a cave." Thorin shouted to the others. 
After he and Dwalin had searched it to make sure it was empty thorin had taken
his mate to lay in the far corner. While she layed out the bed roll he looked
over the company, stopping Gloin when he went to make a fire. Turning back to
his female he moved to get the blankets when he saw her drinking from a small
vile away from him. Knitting his brows he went to take it from her, "what is
that?" He asked but saw her quickly hold it behind her. "Nothing..." She
started but day his hard glare. "It's just herbs Arwin have me..." "for what?"
Looking down she bit her lip making him grip her chin and force her to look at
him. "For what?" He asked again looking at her eyes. "To help with...
Conception." She said and saw as tears well up in her eyes.
Thorin let out a sigh, moving his hand to cup her cheek he wiped away her tears
with his thumb. Pulling her into his arms he layed them down and pulled the
blanket over her. "We will have a child amrâl, I swear to you. But not until we
are somewhere safe... I love you. Get some sleep." He told her kissing the top
of her head. Feeling her cuddle into his chest she mumbled an I love you too
and kissed his neck. 
It wasn't long before thorin felt his omega letting out deep breaths against
his neck. He knew she was exhausted from the journey so far and they were only
half way. Her heat would be here within the next day or so and then he would
have to find somewhere for them to mate. He had put her in danger too many
times to count, the exact opposite in which an alpha was supposed to do. He
shouldn't have let her come, he should have sent her back home. Hearing others
talking he listened and heard it to be Bilbo and bofur... The Hobbit was
leaving. Not saying anything he felt a vibration in the floor and became alert.
"Wake up!"he yelled, starting most. Suddenly the floor cave in and they all
began to fall.
 
 
 
***** Chapter 23 *****
Thorin tried to hold onto Whitney as they fell. He heard as she yelped out when
her small body connected with the stone. Moving to hold her above him he
grunted when they landed, his eyes going wide he quickly rolled to cover her
from the others talking on them. Feeling dazed he was soon snatched away from
her. Looking around he saw goblins swarming them. He growled and fought back as
they pulled and tugged at his female. Snatching her away from them he held
tightly to her wrist as they were led down the tunnels.
Coming to a stop he snarled at the on going song, watching as the goblin king
danced. When he was through he turned to address the company. Thorin pulled
whitney into his chest, wrapping his cloak around her. He couldn't let them
find out she was a female. Looking around he snatched bofur's hat from his head
placing it on her head he met the dwarfs eyes, seeing what he was doing bofur
nodded his head. "Stay quiet." Thorin said leaning down to whisper in her ear.
When it came time for them to be searched he punched the goblin that pulled at
Whitney's clothing. Shoving him back he was knocked away from Whitney revealing
her to the filth. "No no!" Thorin yelled when she was pushed to get knees
before the goblin King. The fat blob smiled wickedly at the female, lifting her
up by her hair. Whitney cried out and whimpered at the pain in her scalp.
Seeing thorin trying to get to her the Gibbon smirked, bringing her to his face
he sniffed at her before looking at thorin. "Well look who it is, thorin
oakensheild, King under the mountain... Only you don't have a mountain and now
you don't have a mate... Throw her in the dungeon." He said passing Whitney off
to the others. 
"THORIN!" Whitney screamed. Panicking he went to go forward when they started
hitting his back with the whips making him fall to his knees. "Cut off his
head!" The goblin King yelled but then all was silenced by a strong wave.
Looking up they saw gandalf standing on the ledge. "Take up arms, Fight.
Fight!" He yelled and soon they were all fighting back. Thorin team over to the
goblin that was beating and whipping his Omega, cutting his head from his
shoulders with one swing of his sword.
Going to lift her up she continued to fight, not realizing it was him. Groaning
when she punched him in the jaw he quickly grabbed her arms and gave her a
small shake. Seeing him she calmed, cupping her face he saw tears rolling down
her cheeks. "Shhh it's alright, I have you my darling... Hurry we have to get
out of here." He said before pulling her behind him.
Once out of the mountain she fell to get knees and leaned down to try and catch
her breath. Moving her shaking hand to her back she brought it back to see
blood on it. The goblin had whipped her, cutting the skin of her neck.
Thankfully the mithril vest of her father's had saved the rest of hey back from
being harmed. Hearing the howls of wargs she froze. Her heart rate rising and
her body unable to move.
The memory of her parents being killed in front of her ran through her head,
she couldn't breath, couldn't scream. The only thing she could do was listen to
her father's battle cries turn into roars of pain when the wargs began biting
into his flesh. Seeing the orcs hold her mother to the ground before pushing
her dress up. With tear filled eyes she cried out for her mother only for her
to shake her head and mouth the word "run." 
"RUN!" gandalf yelled as the wargs came down the mountain side towards them.
Thorin looked to see his mate in a state of shock. Lifting her into his arms
when she didn't move he followed the others up into the trees, passing Whitney
off to Dwalin while he climbed up. Looking down he saw a sight he thought he
would never see again, azog. 
***** Chapter 24 *****
Whitney watched in horror as thorin stood on the tree they were all hanging on.
"THORIN!" she screamed as she dangled over the side of the tree, her arms
becoming weaker the longer she held on, but he paid her no mind. Glaring down
azog he made his way to attack. She felt tears roll down her cheeks as azog
white warg tackled thorin to the ground. Soon the beast was biting down on
Thorin side, shaking him around like a rag doll. Throwing him away she tried
with all her might to go help her mate but with all her thrashing about the
branch she was holding onto snapped and she fell.
Being caught by the huge eagle she was quick to look back at the firey scene.
She let out about gasp when Bilbo went to her husband's aid, knocking azog back
when he went to cut off thorin's head. Before the pale orc could hurt either of
them they were picked up other eagles.
The queen of the dwarves could only look on as the eagles took them to a large
Cliff. Sitting thorin's body down gently she jumped from her own and ran to
him. Shaking him she sobbed out his name but he did nothing. When gandalf came
over he nodded to Dwalin and the warrior quickly wrapped his arms around the
female and pulled her away. She cried and tried to get out of his hold but then
saw as gandalf began mumbling something. Still shaking she let Dwalin sit her
on the rock ground and watched as thorin gasped for air.
Relief was soon overcome by anger as she glared at her alpha. She watched as he
made up with Bilbo, hugging the Hobbit and thanking him for saving his life
before his eyes meet hers. Slowly making his way over to her he saw her
furious. "Armàl I..." He started but was quickly silenced by a loud smack.
Everyone stood in shock as they witnessed the small Omega slap the larger
alpha. 
Thorin didn't move as he felt the sting on his cheek. He didn't yell. He
watched as a sad tear ran down her cheek. Going to wipe it away she pushed his
hand away "just leave me alone." She whimpered before turning and walking away
from him. The king stood still for a moment and just let out a sigh. Looking
down at his feet before up at the lonely mountain in the East. They were so
close to their destination but at the she time he and Whitney had never been so
far apart.
Waiting for Bilbo to return thorin looked over at his female he saw her back
was turned to him. "Give her time to calm down." He heard Dwalin say from
beside him but just shook his head, "I don't blame her, I would be angry too."
He said in a soft voice before turning when he heard Bilbo return.
Deciding to make it to the house gandalf had mentioned had proved to be a task.
A giant bear that he had told them was in fact their host. "Get some sleep...
You're safe." Gandalf had told them making them all go lay in the hay. Looking
towards Whitney he saw her already laying in the back part of the stables, away
from everyone. He knew her heat was making an appearance again. No doubt she
had already started it by the exhaustion that showed on her face. Choosing the
stable right beside hers he listened to her deep breathing, praying she would
forgive him soon.
***** Chapter 25 *****
Waking the next morning Thorin looked to see Dwalin nodding his head in the
direction of the others that were standing by the window looking outside.
Making his way over to them he listened as Gandalf explained the plan. He and
Bilbo would go out first after the dawrves would follow. "Only go out in
pairs.... Bombur you count as two so you go out alone." Gandalf said before
taking a deep breath and heading out. Thorin waited as they all slowly headed
out, he stared in the direction of his female, he could smell her eat strongly
in the air and had to hold back the raging alpha in him. When everyone was out
he made his way out to great their host, hopefully the man would not rip them
to shreds as Gandalf said he had done to his last intruders. 
Beorn had invited them inside, not very happy with them being in his home but
refusing to turn them away to be killed by the orcs. He had yet again had his
eyes glued to where he knew his omega was sleeping when he heard Beorn mention
Azog. Looking at the large man he saw him pouring everyone a mug of milk, "You
know of Azog, How?" He asked and saw the skin changer sigh. "My people were the
first to live in the mountains. Azog enslaved most of my people, not for work
you understand but for sport. Killing and torturing them seemed to amuse him."
he said in a sad deep voice. Thorin listened intensely as the man he pitied
told them about his life. He was just in the middle of telling them about
mirkwood when they heard a small voice. Her sudden presence seemed to startle
Beorn and he jumped up setting Thorin on guard. "Thorin..." Hearing the voice
of his female Thorin's eyes snapped to the hallway to see his wife standing
there on shaking legs. She was holding herself up by one of the large posts and
he saw her body trembling. Her face was flushed and she looked completely
exhausted by the heat burning through her body. When he saw her go to fall he
quickly went to catch her, cradling her small body against his own.
"A woman as well?" Beorn said looking to the wizard. "Ah yes, This is Whitney,
Whitney Oakensheild, Thorin's wife..." He said as Beorn made his way over to
the two. Thorin stiffened as the male came closer to his female. Having to bite
his tongue to hold back the growl in his throat. When the bear man came to
stand beside them he looked down at the woman with clear worry. "She is in
heat..." He said shocking Thorin, Nodding his head he saw as the man sighed.
"Come with me." was all he said before walking out of the room. Knotting his
brows Thorin looked down to the whimpering omega in his arms before lifting her
up and following after the man. He followed the man to a small shed a small
ways from the house. Thorin watched as he lifted a latch opening the door. "It
is not much but it is all that I have to offer. I use it to dry herbs in the
summer. It will give you your privacy." Looking inside Thorin saw the small
shed to have a thick layer of hay on the floor. Knowing Whitney needed to mate
soon he looked up to the man's eyes and bowed his head in thanks. Handing him a
pile of blankets he walked away, leaving the couple alone.
Closing the door behind them, Thorin flipped the latch rendering them in almost
total darkness. Laying one of the blankets over the hay before placing Whitney
in the center. As soon as he pulled away she curled up in pain. Sitting beside
her on the blanket he unlaced his boots and then her own. Slowly he peeled the
dirty and mostly torn clothing from her body. Pulling the mithril vest over her
head he sucked in a breath at the many bruises and cuts that littered her body.
He had not seen her body since their time in RIvendale and was shocked at how
it looked now. Before this journey he had made sure she never did too much, he
remembered throwing a fit if even the smallest scrape tainted her skin. The
only marks he wanted on her body was the ones he made. Letting out a huff of
air he grabbed his knife from his boot, cutting the breast bindings from her
chest and pulling the underwear down her legs. Seeing her completely bare made
his cock grow incredibly stiff, how he missed the luxuries of home, where he
could take her daily, sometimes multiple times a day. He would be happy when
they would once again have time for each other. Undressing himself he layed
down beside her and purred at their skins touching once again. Hearing her
whimper he ran his nose up her jaw but felt her growl and try to move away from
him. Knotting his brows he went to stroke her cheek when she bit down on his
hand making him groan in pain. Growling he grabbed a handful of her hair and
pulled her neck to arch back, Growling he bit down on her throat. He didn't
break the skin but made sure to make his point. "Enough! I'm sorry. I know I
acted like a fool and I'm sorry. I know your mad at me and you have a right to
be but you need to mate. You are weak and in pain and as much as you don't want
me near you right now you are going to have to get over it because I refuse to
let you lay i pain because you are too suborn to admit when you need help! So I
am going to fuck you for the next few days and when we are done you can go back
to being mad at me if you want, Do I make myself clear." he snarled and heard
as she gave a small whimper but felt her nod her head. 
Instantly his mouth slammed into hers. Thorin was quick to push his tongue into
her mouth, groaning at her taste. Without breaking from her mouth he ran his
hand down her side to her thigh. Spreading her legs he settled himself between
them. Rubbing his fingers up her slit he let out a feral growl making slick
coat his fingers. Spreading it around he lined himself up with her entrance
before pushing in. Hearing her whimper he held down her hip with one hand while
his other stayed fisted into her hair. She cried out into his mouth at the
slightly painful stretch, Not wanting the others to hear his female cries he
kept his mouth over hers. Once he was settled he gave her the much needed time
to adjust to his girth. Breaking form her mouth he kissed down to her neck.
"Good girl." he cooed to her, nipping at her ear. Feeling her shiver he smirked
and pulled back his hips before slowly rolling them back in. Kissing her neck
he trialed his hand from her hip to her breast, pinching the small bud between
his fingers. When she cried out he moved his other hand to cover her mouth.
"Mmmmm..." she moaned around his hand as he snapped his hips into hers. Nipping
at her neck he let out heavy breaths into her skin. "My sweet omega. Mmmm.
Going to fill you up with my seed. Is that what you want, do you want your
alpha's knot?" he said in a deep voice making her whine around his hand and nod
her head.  Grinning he felt as she began to tremble under him and knew she was
close to her own release. Gripping her thigh in his hand he threw it over his
back, allowing him to go deeper into her. When he began to growl and grunt he
burried his nose into her neck and licked at the skin. Pushing his knot into
her body he sunk his teeth into her neck and filled her with his seed. He held
his hand over her mouth as she screamed, making sure no other man would hear
his females music. When he was done he pulled back to look at the claiming
mark, licking at the wound to make sure it would stay clean. Rolling over he
held her close, petting her head as she rested up for their next matting
session. 
It took only two days this time for her heat to end and although Thorin knew
they needed to hurry to the mountain he missed the closeness with his female.
Lifting her onto the pony he went to grab the supplies Beorn had given them.
Whitney looked at nothing while she waited for them to leave. When she felt a
presence she looked up to see Beorn standing beside the pony she was on. "eat
these it will help give you your strength back." he told her handing her a
small burlap bag. Opening the drawstring she saw them to be candies. Popping
one in her mouth she hummed at the sweet taste of honey and lavender. "Thank
you for all you have done to help us." She told him in a soft voice and saw as
he just bowed his head. "You are an omega?" he said more than asking. Nodding
she saw him nod, "How did you know?" She asked tilting her head to the side. "I
have been around a long time, I know many smells." he said before walking away
to go talk to thorin. The female watched curiously as the two men talked. When
they both looked to her she knotted her brows. Seeing Thorin nod his head in
thanks he made his way back over to his wife, mounting the pony to sit behind
her. "What was that about?" she asked as they rode towards Mirkwood. Thorin
took a deep breath before moving to hold of her hands in his own, "He told me
to take care of you. That if I harm you he will eat me." Whitney couldn't help
but let out a giggle at the threat making Thorin chuckle as well. "It will take
him a week to chew through your hard head." she joked making Thorin smack her
leg. 
 
***** Chapter 26 *****
So much had happened in the last two months Whitney didn't even know what to
think. They had been attacked by giant spiders, imprisoned by elves, Kili had
been shot in the leg... and worse of all they had made it into the mountain.
All these years they had dreamed of reclaiming Erabor and now they were here.
Smaug had been killed. Shot with a black arrow by no other than Bard, the man
that had gotten them into lake town. He was right all along, as soon as smaug
had been awoken he had burned lake town to the ground. The people there now
homeless, living in the ruins of Dale. She had begged Thorin to help them but
he was no longer her Thorin. Tensing when his hand pet the back of her head she
looked up from where she sat on the step beside the throne. HE was paying her
no mind as he and Balin talked about why the arkenstone had yet to be found.
His face was hard and his eyes cold. "And still it is NOT FOUND!" Thorin yelled
causing the omega to flinch. Meeting Balin's eyes she saw heartbreak and knew
it well. Their shared gaze did not go unnoticed by the king as the room was
filled with a growl. "Leave us." he said making Balin bow his head and look at
her with pity before leaving the room. 
She did not move as they were left alone. He continued to pet her head for a
moment until his hand stopped and he pat this leg, "Come." he said in a flat
voice but she was quick to obey him. Sitting in his lap she looked down at his
hand, his old iron wedding band had been replaced with larger and more
expensive gold rings. She felt her lip begin to tremble at the sight but
swallowed her sadness. "Why do you look so unhappy?" he asked twirling a strand
of her hair around his finger.  "Because I miss you." she said in a whisper so
low he barely heard it. "Nonsense... I am right here." he said and she felt as
a tear escaped her eye. Grabbing her chin he turned her face to look at him,
"Do not cry my jewel." He said as he leaned forward to kiss her lips. Whitney
felt as more tears fell from her eyes as he called her his jewel. She hated it,
like she was nothing more to him than treasure, an item that he owned. 
When his hand pushed itself between her tunic and skin she closed her eyes as
he groped her breast in his large hand. Pushing the shirt from her shoulders he
began to kiss and nibble at the newly exposed skin. The omega could do nothing
but sit there as he stripped her down to nothing in his lap. Having her bare he
pulled back to look her body over "This is how you should always be for me.
Open for me to see your beauty. Mine and only mine." he said, his voice trance
like. Moving to sit her on her knees in front of him he pulled his member out
of his trousers. Whitney swallowed hard at the sight of thick muscle already
hard as the stone walls that surrounded them. When he cupped the back of her
head and gently pulled her towards it she closed her eyes and heard him growl.
"Do I not take care of you. Do I not tend to your needs like a good alpha. I am
better than most you know..." She trembled as he fisted his hand in her hair
and leaned forward to snarl in her ear. "I could beat you when you disobey me.
I could fuck you until you were raw, forcing a child into your womb no matter
how hard I had to take you to do it... So let's try this again." he said not
caring for the tears falling from her eyes. "Suck." he growled and she quickly
leaned forward, taking him into her mouth. 
It took hours to please him. After he had filled her throat with his seed he
had bent her over the throne and taken her hard like a dog. She had bit her lip
until she tasted blood in her mouth. When he had forced her to ride him on the
throne she could no longer stay conscious. Hearing mumbling the omega slowly
woke up. Coming to she found herself to still be naked but she was now covered
by his thick fur coat. Looking around the room she saw she was laying on the
throne and Thorin was pacing the walkway. He was running his hands through his
hair and mumbling things to himself, he seemed to be arguing with himself.
"Thorin?" she whispered causing his head to snap in her direction. Seeing his
bright blue eyes filled with tears she knew this was her Thorin. Quickly the
male ran over to her, dropping to his knees in front of her. "Oh my luv. I
thought I had hurt you. I don't know what's happening to me... I can't think
straight... I i'm lost." he said his voice shaky sounding. Hugging her waist he
buried his face into her breast. Taking deep breaths she held onto him,
stroking his hair and kissing his head. "It is alright my love. We can get
through this together, we..." "Thorin there are elves and men at the front
gate."  Dwalin said running into the room. Hearing a growl Whitney became
afraid once again. Breaking from their embrace Thorin rose to his feet and
turned his head to Dwalin. Looking back at his mate he cut his eyes, "Stay
here." he said his voice now cold once again. The small omega curled in on
herself as a sob formed in her throat. Looking up through tear filled eyes as
she watched them walk away. 
Thorin marched back into the throne room to find his mate dressed once again.
His face was full of rage as he walked up to her and grabbed her by her throat,
slamming her up against the throne. "You betrayed me! My own WIFE! You told
that thieving hobbit to give the arkenstone to our enemies!" He yelled. Seeing
her try to talk he let her go, dropping her to the floor. She gasped for air
before looking back up at him with true fear in her eyes. "I had to... you're
not you Thorin. I just wanted my husband back..." she said her voice sad and
begging. Seeing him chuckle she knotted her brows and let out a yelp when he
brought the back of his hand across her face. Tears welled up in her eyes as
she cradled her cheek that burned with pain. "I was a fool. Do you know why
Whitney?... I was a fool to ever think you were worthy of my love. You the half
blood. The freak. I should have listened to everyone when they told me not to
marry you. They were right, you never could give me a child. Not a dwarf, not
an elf and not even a woman. You failed at the only thing you were born to do."
She couldn't breath, couldn't move as he pulled the knife from his side.
"Thorin? Please?" she whimpered. Grabbing the back of her hair he pulled her to
the ground, pressing his knee into her chest to hold her down. She kicked and
thrashed in his hold. Bringing the knife forward he held up his marriage braid
at her temple. "Thorin NO!" she screamed as he cut off one then the other.
Dropping them to the stone floor he shoved her away from him. Looking at the
braids on the floor she covered her mouth as a sob fell from her lips. Looking
up at him she felt as the tears fell like rivers from her eyes as her heart was
broken. "Get out... Before I kill you." he said as he looked away from
her. Picking herself up off the floor she slowly stumbled her way out of the
room, taking one last glance at the man that used to be her mate.
 
***** Chapter 27 *****
Going into the room with the rest of the company balin was the first to notice
the large bruise forming on her cheek. Making his way over to her he gasped
when he saw the short chunks of hair at her temples where her marriage braids
once layed. Looking into her eyes he saw defeat and agony. "Oh lass I'm so
sorry." He said in a sorrow filled voice. Shaking her head she felt more tears
roll down her cheeks, "no... He was right... About everything.... Stay with him
balin. Please don't leave him." She begged and all he could do was nod. One by
one she told them goodbye. When it came time for fili and Kili she let out a
sob and let them pull her into a hug. "No matter what you will always be our
auntie." Fili said causing her to hickup out a cry. "I love you both." Turning
to Dwalin she was surprised when the always tuff warrior pulled her into his
arms. "Please watch over him, he is still in there. I know it." She said a felt
him nod. Once all the goodbyes were said she turned and made her way away from
Erabor once again. 
Getting to her feet she looked around to see all races at war. Men, elves and
dwarf fought against orcs. Seeing gandalf he made his way over to her. Lifting
her chin he looked to her sorrow filled eyes and cupped her cheek. "Does he
know?" He asked and she just shook her head as more tears fell from her eyes.
Raising his staff into the air he shot up a spark and soon a large eagle was
landing by them. Lifting her up onto it he kissed her knuckles "take care my
dear." He said before the bird took off towards the West. 
Thorin stood in the hall of the Kings staring into his gold reflection. He
heard the drain voice in his head but he also felt the true him, the real
thorin. Battling he finally snapped out of it and threw the heavy crown from
his head. Walking into the room with the company he saw them all stare at him.
Kili we the first to come yell at him. Smiling he layed his head against his
nephews. "I do not expect anything from you. And I would not deserve it. But i
beg you to follow me one last time." He said and saw as they all nodded, "we're
with you laddie, until the end." The older dwarf told him with a smile. Thorin
returned his smile before his eyes began to search the room for his mate.
"Whitney, Where's Whitney?" he asked and saw as Dwalin swallowed hard "You
don't remember?". Thinking the king knotted his brows before it all came back
to him and he fell to his knees. Tears came to the alpha dwarfs eyes, something
that no one had seen before. "I...I hurt her... Oh mahal no..." he chocked out.
Feeling someone pat his shoulder he looked up to see Balin looking at him with
pity. "What's done is done lad, You will have to work hard on fixing it but we
need to get through this fight first." he said. Taking a deep shaky breath
Thorin swallowed the knot in his throat before nodding his head and letting the
old warrior pull him to his feet.
They had won but at the cost of so much death. Thorin had managed to kill Azog
the defiler but had been severely wounded. He had been stabbed in both the foot
and the chest. It took everything the elves had to save him from the brink of
death. It had now been two weeks of him being in and out of consciousness.
Balin and Dwalin had listened as he called out for his female in his fevered
state, begging for her to come back to him. He cried and sobbed until he would
pass out again. Opening his eyes this time he saw a figure sitting next to his
bed. "Whitney?" he whispered out as his eyes adjusted. "No Thorin." he heard
his sister Dis say and felt his lip tremble. "She's gone Dis... I...I was so
evil to her... I..." He cried as his sight was blurred with tears. "Shhh, It's
going to be oka..." She went to say but not before he snatched his hand away
from her "NO! NO it's not going to be okay! I ruined the only thing in my life
worth living for...I...Please Just leave me alone Dis..." He screamed as he
tried to roll over. "Thorin?" "Please." was all he said before she bowed her
head and left the room, leaving the king alone with his thoughts.
It had now been six months since the battle of the five armies. A lone dwarf
limped his way into the large mountain on the west coast. He held his bag over
one arm as his other arm held tight to the cane moving with each step. He
ignored the stares of the passing people as he made his way to the throne room.
"Thorin, King under the mountain..." He heard a male say and turned to the
voice. Looking up thorin met the eyes of Ketor. The red haired dwarf walked
over to him before standing in front of him, crossing his large arms over his
barreled chest. "...I should hang you for what you did to her." he growled.
Swallowing Thorin nodded his head, "I deserve so much more than that... I know
I do Ketor, but I have to see her, I have to talk to her. Please!" he begged.
Letting out a heavy sigh Ketor ran his hand down his long goatee, "Very well,
She is in her chambers." Bowing his head in thanks Thorin made his way to the
chambers he once shared with her.
 
 
***** Chapter 28 *****
Getting to the door he took a deep breath and knocked lightly on the carved
wood. Hearing nothing he opened the door slowly. The room was lit only by the
large fire. Looking around he saw nothing had changed. His boots still sat
beside the hearth, his cloak hung on the hooks by the the door. Seeing a figure
under the furs on the bed he felt his heart rate rise. Limping over to the bed
he sat his bag on the floor and looked down at her, his mate. She was sleeping
in the bed alone. It felt like a dream as he looked at her again after so long
apart. He could see her red and puffy eyes from where she had been crying along
with her skinnier looking face. Rubbing his knuckles over her cheek she
whimpered and rolled over from her back to her side. When the fur pulled away
Thorin felt the breath get knocked from his chest. Looking at her now he saw
the large belly poking out from one of his tunics she was wearing. Falling to
his knees beside the bed he layed his head beside her.
Hearing crying Whitney woke up and looked down beside her on the bed. Feeling
tears come to her eyes she moved her shaking hand to his head, "Thorin?" she
whimpered her lip trembling, she felt guilty for hiding her pregnancy from
him. "you said you didn't love me. That you didn't want me...i'm sorry I was
going to write you and tell you.. I swear Thorin I..." Snapping his head up she
saw tears in his blue eyes. "Oh my world I am so sorry. I failed you as a mate,
as a husband and now as a father to our child." He sobbed, timidly placing his
hand over her belly. Seeing the broken man before her she leaned forward,
nuzzling her face into his hair. The two mates stayed there like this for some
time, both crying into each others arms. "Oh Thorin what did you do?" she asked
when she saw the bandage wrapped around his shoulder. Moving his tunic to the
side he pulled away not wanting her to worry about his wounds. "It's nothing,
just a scratch..." "Thorin there's blood on your shirt." she said in a worried
voice. Standing from the bed he was surprised to see just how big her belly was
in comparison to the rest of her body. "Get on the bed." she told him making
him give a sigh before grunting in pain when he moved to stand. Removing his
cloak  he sat on the bed slowly. When she went to lift his shirt he put his
hand on hers to stop her. Meeting each others eyes he surrendered when he saw
the pleading look on her face. He allowed her to help him get his tunic off and
felt as she pealed away the bandages before giving a loud gasp. "Thorin... What
happened?" she said in a whimper making him look at her face to see tears
falling from her eyes. "No please don't cry my heart. It's alright, It's
healing. I'll be fine in no time." he said cupping her cheek. "If I hadn't have
left I could have helped you more, you wouldn't have had to travel to come get
me..." She said in a whisper and saw as he just shook his head. "No Whitney. I
deserve ten times worse than this for what I did to you. You don't worry about
me. This is not your fault do you understand me. Don't think not for one second
that I wouldn't walk a thousand times over middle earth to find you again. I
Love you so much Whitney and I will never be able to make up for what I did to
you but if you would let me i would like to spend everyday for the rest of my
life proving to you how much I truly do love you." 
Looking into his eyes she saw the tears that fell freely down his cheeks into
his beard. Thorin had never been one for showing emotion, he had always kept
them hidden even from her so to see him crying now showed her that he meant
every word he said. Knowing no other way to tell him what she felt she leaned
forward to press her lips to his. Thorin just sat there for a moment until
reality kicked in, his female had forgiven him, she still loved him, after all
he had done she still wanted too be with him. Bringing his hand up he ran his
hands into her hair to cup the back of her head. 
After Whitney had cleaned and re-bandaged His wounds the two had layed there
for some time catching up what had happened in their time apart. Thorin had
told her that he had the arkenstone destroyed and that dale had started getting
rebuilt so that the people of lake town would have new homes. Kili and the elf
Tariel were now courting much to Tranduil's disapproval. "When?" Thorin asked
as he rubbed his hand over where their child resided. The omega gave a small
smile at how entranced he seemed to be with there child that was not even born
yet. "Beorn's house." she said with a soft smile and saw him chuckle, "We are
the richest people in all middle earth and yet our child was conceived in a
shack... On a hay floor no less." She couldn't help from giggling herself at
this and smacking his chest without thinking. "MMMM..." he grunted making her
realized what she just done, "Oh Thorin I'm sorry.. I forgot...." "It's
alright... See little one, your mother beats me." he said with a smile taking
to her belly. Letting out a gasp he became alert, "What what is wrong?" he
asked afraid. Seeing her smile she grabbed his hand and placed it over her
belly, "Say something." she smiled . "Like what?" he asked and felt the strong
movement under his palm. They both smiled at each other as the babe kicked
again and again.
Two months later Thorin sat in the armchair beside their bed holding the small
bundle in his arms. Whitney had had a long and hard labor making her completely
exhausted by the end of it. To everyone's amazement she had lived through it,
bringing a healthy little girl into the world. She now rested in their bed
while Thorin held his new heir in his arms. As soon as she was born he had
instantly been wrapped around her finger. It was decided that they would leave
for Erabor once Whitney was well enough and Thorin was sure to come to her
every need. Smiling down at the small child in his arms he felt as she wrapped
her tiny hand around his finger. Her head was covered in a small amount of
brown hair like his but she favored her mother. He smiled at the slight point
of her ears. When the babe began to whimper he rocked her gently in his arms,
and sang.
"I saw the light fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers
I will say this last goodbye
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea
Under cloud, beneath the stars
Over snow one winter's morn
I turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don't regret
Nor will I forget
All who took the road with me
Night is now falling
So ends this day
The road is now calling
And I must away
Over hill and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea
To these memories I will hold
With your blessing I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
I bid you all a very fond farewell"
The end.
