***** Do you Trust Me? *****
The aftermath of the slaughter is always unpleasant. The sounds of the dying
echo through the night, a mixture of gurgled moans and wheezing breaths. The
metallic smell of blood fills Hannibal’s lungs with each breath he takes.

It’s an unpleasant scene, but one Hannibal has become accustomed to.

His people are nomadic and they take what they need from the border settlements
of the nearby kingdom. Their king is foolish, thinking Hannibal’s people
barbarians who live in the shadows of his lands. Each year, Hannibal takes his
warriors to pillage and raid for food and supplies, and each year, the king
fails to send adequate military reinforcement of his own to protect his people.

The king is an incompetent fool. Regardless, the meager number of knights he
does send are easily cut down by Hannibal’s warriors. From the time they are
old enough to walk, the nomadic alphas are taught how to master the bow and
arrow and how to wield a sword. They are swift on horseback and very few die
during the raids.

It is a necessary evil that some villages must fall in order to sustain his
people. Hannibal has learned not to dwell on the innocent lives taken during
these times – after all, he and his men have their own omegas and kin to feed.

With a simple gesture, he waves off a few of his men awaiting instruction. It’s
routine to double check the surrounding area for any survivors or overlooked
food storages. Hannibal watches as his other men carry the bodies of the dead
to the edge of the village where they will be burned when night falls.

This will be the last raid of the month before he and his warriors must head
back. Winter will be coming soon.

Suddenly, one of Hannibal’s men rushes to his side, panting as if he’s run a
marathon. His armor is stained crimson with blood but he has no grievous wounds
that Hannibal can detect.

“General Hannibal,” he pauses after he's able to catch his breath, waiting for
Hannibal’s consent to continue.

Hannibal appraises him for a moment before nodding.

“Another alpha and I found a cottage, off in the woods. It’s surrounded by
warriors and I was barely able to escape. I think that– they’re might be-,” the
man tries to rush out, the situation obviously urgent.

Hannibal saves him the trouble of an explanation.
 
“Take me to it.”
 
===============================================================================
 
When they arrive with a few other warriors in tow, there are far more men
guarding the cottage than Hannibal expected. Whatever is inside must be
valuable, worth all these mens’ lives because they fight with an insane passion
Hannibal has never seen before. The swings of the other alphas’ swords are
almost crazed and animalistic, driven as if by instinct. He leaves his men to
take care of them as he weaves past.

Inside, there are even more men. Hannibal must resist the urge to sigh in
irritation as he readies his sword. He easily slices through a man’s belly but
doesn’t have the time to watch the man’s innards fall to the floor because in
seconds, even more are swarming him.

Hannibal can’t help but laugh dryly as each man falls to him, one by one, until
only he is left. He quickly surveys his work, making sure they are all truly
dead before sheathing his sword.

He looks around the cabin and is almost stunned as he realizes it’s empty.
There are very furnishings, certainly none of which would be of any value to
Hannibal. As his warriors file in, they seem to be as equally confused as he.

“What the hell do they have in here?” one asks, sounding almost distraught.

Hannibal’s gaze sweeps over the cabin once more before he narrows his eyes. In
the corner of the cottage lays a small bed with a worn rug placed in front of
it. Hannibal walks over and picks the rug off the floor. Beneath it is a trap
door.

His men surround him as he pulls at the latch of the door, swinging it open.
The stairs that lead down are old and crumbled, made from hardened earth. The
space underneath is barely illuminated by one of his men’s lanterns, but
Hannibal’s eyes adjust and he sees in the far corner a small, huddled figure.

Through the dirt and the blood, Hannibal smells something. Something fresh and
sweet, an unspoiled scent that leaves him salivating.

He crouches next to the huddled figure, placing a hand gently on the person’s
shoulder. Hesitant eyes meet his own as the person – a boy – finally turns to
face him.

His cherubic face is smudged with dirt, staining his smooth, unblemished skin.
His eyes are a piercing blue and his cheeks are still plump with youth. And
although the boy is clearly scared to death, his small body shaking in fear and
his face wrought with worry, Hannibal has never seen anyone more beautiful.

The truth dawns upon Hannibal – the boy is an omega.

Male omegas are rare. More than that, they are almost extinct. The last male
omega Hannibal had come across had been decades ago, when he had been just a
child.

Hannibal wisely blocks his mens’ view of the boy with his own body, acting as a
human barrier.

He leans in only to have the omega vocalize his distress by emitting a small
whimper.

“What is your name?” Hannibal asks. He has a knack for languages, and had
picked up on the one the kingdom uses years ago.

The boy hesitates, eyes wide, before he asks in a small voice, “are you going
to kill me?”

Hannibal attempts to soothe the omega by gently running a hand down his back.
All he receives in response is another distressed whimper.

“I will not kill you, nor will I let any of my men touch you either. But first,
you must tell me your name.”

The omega swallows thickly before replying, “Will. My name is Will.”

Hannibal nods. “Will, listen to me carefully.” His tone is hushed, only loud
enough for Will to hear. “You have to trust me. When I take you out from here,
my men will want to have you. To take you – do you understand?”

Will’s bottom lip begins to quiver, as if he is on the verge of crying but he
nods in understanding.

“Then know that I will not let any of them have you. You are under my
protection – mine and mine alone.”

Will rubs at his eyes with balled up little fists, wiping away at any tears
threatening to escape before giving Hannibal a scrutinizing glare. “How do I
know that you’re not lying?”

Hannibal licks his lips, his gaze still trained on the omega’s face. It takes
more effort than he’d ever care to admit. With every breath he takes, more and
more of Will’s enticing scent clouds his thoughts like a drug. A lesser alpha
would have bent Will over by now, fucking into his slick little hole and
claiming him as theirs. Hannibal is not an animal ruled by instinct though.

“If I wanted to kill or rape you, I would have done so already."

Will’s skeptical expression wavers.
 
One of Hannibal’s men calls out to him in their native tongue. “General
Hannibal, what did you find? Do you need assistance?”

“No. I will be out shortly,” he replies.

Not knowing the words exchanged between Hannibal and the other alpha, Will
whines in dismay. “What did he say?” he asks.

Hannibal is becoming steadily weary of Will’s distrust. “He wanted to know who
is down here, Will. I have to bring you out now.” Hannibal opens his arms,
silently urging Will to come forward.

The omega's persistent hesitance finally breaks Hannibal’s patience.

“Will,” Hannibal all but growls. “I promised that I would not let any harm come
to you. I swear it to the gods,” he says gravely. “Do you trust me?”

Something in Will finally gives at Hannibal’s words. He takes a deep breath and
nods his consent – he moves forward and wraps his arms around Hannibal’s neck
before burying his face in the alpha’s chest.

“I do.”
 
===============================================================================
 

Hannibal emerges from the cellar, holding Will bridal style in his arms. Will
doesn't dare to look up; all that the other alphas can see is a small body and
a head of dirty, brown curls.

Although Will does his best to hide in the chest plate of Hannibal’s armor so
that his traditionally omegan, soft looking face will not be seen, the
surrounding alphas can still smell him. He can even hear some of them growl as
they realize what he is. 

As Hannibal heads toward the door, one of the other warriors dares to reach out
to touch Will. Instinctively, Hannibal jerks away, hugging Will closer to his
body. He growls, a chilling sound that starts in his lower belly and resonates
throughout the cottage.

“Listen closely because I won’t repeat myself,” Hannibal says in their native
tongue. “You know what this boy is, but you cannot have him. You cannot touch
him. You cannot take him. I will not hesitate to rip out the throats of anyone
who dares to try.”

Complete silence follows as Hannibal walks past the threshold.
***** Do You Admit to Your Defeat? *****
Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
News of the omega boy spreads quickly throughout the camp. There is no doubt
that all of the alphas are more than curious about Will but no one asks to see
him. In fact, all of the conversations pertaining to Will are spoken in hushed
tones and huddled circles. Hannibal is not a cruel general who causes his
warriors unnecessary pain, but he will not hesitate to cut down anyone who
disobeys him.
Hannibal had taken Will back to his own, personal tent. Outside, the men have
just begun to light the funeral pyre for the dead villagers.
“It smells disgusting,” Will comments as he lays in Hannibal’s makeshift bed,
consisting of animal furs and thick blankets. Hannibal sits on a wooden chair,
opposite of him.
“What else do you expect from burning flesh?” Hannibal retorts.
Will stills for a moment, his face void of any emotion as he lets Hannibal’s
words sink in.
“You killed everybody,” he whispers.
It is a statement and not a question. Regardless, Hannibal answers. “Yes, we
did.”
Hannibal watches as Will slowly closes his eyes. His expression seems almost
serene, as if a great burden has been lifted from his shoulders. Hannibal takes
this time to study Will openly.
Although omegas are biologically smaller than their alpha and beta
counterparts, Will seems exceptionally petite in stature. His bones look
delicate, breakable. Compared to Hannibal’s own body, Will is almost
comedically tiny in comparison.
“Would you like to see the pyre?” Hannibal asks.
Will’s eyes flutter open and he looks over to Hannibal, shaking his head.
“Your family will be amongst the dead as well,” Hannibal states, matter-of-
factly. “Do you not wish to mourn them?”
At that, Will surprises Hannibal with a smile that doesn’t quite reach his
eyes. The omega tucks a stray curl behind his ear and shifts slightly in the
blankets, drawing them closer to his body.
“I can assure you that they’re not in the fire,” he says, a hint of sadness
hidden in his words.
Hannibal can feel Will’s sorrow; his instincts are screaming at him to comfort
Will and to hold him and kiss away any tears. Hannibal has kept company with
other omegas before and has even fucked them through their heats by request.
All of the previous omegas had never evoked such an intense response from
Hannibal, though. Perhaps, it’s because Will is a part of a dying breed, or
perhaps it is because he’s so young.
“Where are your parents?” Hannibal folds his arms across his chest, looking
toward the omega expectantly.
Will looks away, giving Hannibal a half-hearted shrug. “My sire was a soldier
who saw my father through his first heat and then left. A few years ago, my
father died of tuberculosis. I’ve been alone ever since.”
Hannibal silently processes the new information.
The putrid smell of burning flesh is slowly starting to dissipate. The fire
will be put out soon.
“There is truly no one you grieve for?” Hannibal asks quietly.
Will wrinkles his nose, as if repulsed by the idea. Suddenly, there is a fire
in his eyes and a disgusted frown marring his beautiful face.
“No,” he says, his voice steady and strong with conviction. “The king’s
soldiers were … were bad men. They had planned to take me back to their station
to breed me so that I would pop out strong little babies for them. And the
villagers would have let them, so long as they were compensated.”
Will spits out each word like acid.
“Do you really think I was down in that cellar by choice?”
Hannibal had heard the rumors that any children male omegas bear are naturally
stronger, smarter than average. From an alpha’s perspective, he can understand
why using Will like that would be beneficial but the rational side of him is
sickened by the very thought. An omega is not something to be abused, passed
around to rear babies for any alpha that wishes him to.
And they say his people are the barbaric ones.
Will furrows his brows in thought. He sits up on his elbows, the blankets and
furs pooling around his waist. When Hannibal had brought Will inside the tent,
he had ordered the omega to strip himself of his dirty clothes. The only
article of clothing Will wears now is one of Hannibal’s own sleeping shirts. It
hangs almost to his knees and slouches across his shoulders. It is the best
Hannibal can give Will for now but to know that Will is wearing one of his
shirts and is wrapped in his blankets, essentially cocooned in his scent, gives
Hannibal some peace of mind.
Although Hannibal has not claimed Will, no Alpha will be able to mistake who he
belongs to.
 “If I go with you, do you and your men plan to do the same?” Will asks boldly.
Hannibal snarls in disgust, appalled at the very notion.
For all of Will’s sudden confidence, he flinches at the sound. Hannibal’s
obvious displeasure triggers Will and he whines, burrowing back into the safety
and warmth of the covers. The sound is a natural omega response, meant to
pacify an angry alpha or beta. Even so, Will continues to whine far longer than
necessary, eyeing Hannibal from his little nest of blankets. Hannibal sighs
audibly, shaking his head.
“Hush, now. I know you meant no real harm,” Hannibal says, trying to soothe
Will. The omega eventually stops whining but still sports a small pout,
glancing up at Hannibal every few seconds, unsure of what to do.
Hannibal sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
“Will, I’m not mad at you but I would very much appreciate it if you would stop
pouting like a child.”
Will shakes his head stubbornly, giving Hannibal the silent treatment.
Growing tired of Will’s behavior, Hannibal opts to change the subject.
“How old are you?” he asks, genuinely curious.
“ ‘m fifteen,” Will mumbles, avoiding eye contact with the alpha. He picks
disinterestedly at a loose string hanging off one of the blankets.
“So young,” Hannibal murmurs. He is easily more than twice Will’s age. “And
you’ve yet to have your first heat?”
At that, Will looks up. His face starts to blossom an adorable pink, starting
from the apples of his cheeks. He shakes his head no. “I don’t want to have my
first heat. I don’t want to be … to be mounted,” he finishes quietly.
Hannibal leans forward, his interest piqued.
Most of the omegas from Hannibal’s pack can’t wait to be mated, gossiping
longingly of future alphas they will take when they finally come of age. In
Hannibal’s culture, the omegas are the ones to choose who they mate with; any
alpha who forces themselves upon an unwilling omega is put to death, regardless
of what the alpha pleads.
 “And why is that?
Will chews his bottom lip, obviously uncomfortable with the topic. “Because it
will hurt,” he mumbles. “And the idea of losing control of myself … the idea of
letting someone else have full reign over my body is frightening.”
Silence follows and Hannibal cannot bring himself to say anything else in
response.
The alpha pulls aside the tent’s flap, peering into the night. The moon glows
high above in the heavens as Hannibal’s men set up for the night. A few
warriors will take turns during the night shift while the rest sleep; tomorrow,
their long trek home begins.
Hannibal withdraws his hand, letting the canvas fall back in place. He begins
to undress for the night, his back to the omega. Hannibal’s body is littered
with old battle scars, but strangely enough, Will can feel a warmth tightening
in his lower belly. It is an alien feeling, one he hasn’t much experience with.
Embarrassed, Will crosses his legs tightly and draws the covers closer to his
body.  
Hannibal turns to Will who lays vulnerable at his feet.
“Do you mind if we share?” Hannibal gestures to Will – well, technically,
Hannibal’s – nest of blankets.  “They are the only ones I have and the evening
chill will grow colder.”
Will wants nothing more to say no, but his omegan nature betrays him. Although
Hannibal had not commanded him to share, the implications of his words weigh on
Will’s conscious. Reluctantly, he scoots over, making room for the alpha.
Hannibal settles in next to him, leaving just enough space between them to make
Will feel more at ease.
“You should sleep,” Hannibal whispers, leaning over to the lantern beside the
makeshift bed. “The journey back to my tribe might not be easy."
With those last words, Hannibal blows out the lantern’s candle.
 
===============================================================================
 
Surprisingly, Will adjusts easily to Hannibal’s lifestyle.
During the day he rides on Hannibal’s horse, the alpha seated behind him, a
constant warmth pressed to his back. When  he tires of riding the horse, Will
walks with the soldiers.
The first few days, Hannibal’s alphas had been wary of Will. At first, they
ignored his smiles and attempts at conversation. After the fourth day though,
one of the alphas – Matthew – warmed up to him. He was more proficient than the
other alphas in Will’s language and tried his best to make small talk. Will was
delighted to finally make a new friend. Matthew even began to slowly teach Will
their native language. The harsh, guttural sounds felt heavy and foreign on
Will’s tongue, but he was happy enough to try.
Eventually, the other alphas join the language lessons as well. They laugh when
Will’s attempts at certain phrases go terribly wrong and reward him with pats
on the back when he does well. The warriors slowly start to welcome him into
the group. During the raid, Hannibal had only brought thirty men with him, as
opposed to the hundreds upon hundreds he commands.
Although they all like the omega and feel a sense of duty to protect him, no
one ever gets too close or too intimate with Will. His own omega pheromones are
almost completely masked by Hannibal’s scent – it is a constant reminder that
at the end of the day, Will is first and foremost under their general’s care.
Every night, the alphas watch as Will enters Hannibal’s tent. Some are envious
of their general while others are resigned or even happy that Hannibal has
found an omega he cares for. Before Will, it was rare to see Hannibal smile or
laugh openly. But now in the omega’s company, if one watches for long enough,
you can see the fondness in Hannibal’s eyes and the slight quirk of his lips.
Curiously though, Hannibal and Will have not bonded yet.
Most suspects – and correctly – that it is because Will has not come of age
yet. And Hannibal, ever the gentleman, will wait patiently until that time
comes.
During one evening in particular, Hannibal and Will have just settled in for
the night. So far, the journey has been relatively easy. Their supplies are
still plentiful and they come across fresh water easily in the form of small
brooks and streams.
Will lays besides Hannibal, talking animatedly of the past day’s events. Every
so often, a nomadic word slips easily into Will’s speech, making Hannibal
smile. The omega is a fast learner; soon, he will be able to carry out basic
conversation.
“Aren’t you tired, Little One?” Hannibal muses, cutting Will’s chatter short.
“It is late now.”
Will pauses, gazing curiously at Hannibal.
“Little One?” he asks, unsure of what to make of the new term of endearment.
“You are little, are you not?”
Will huffs and tries his hardest to give Hannibal the meanest glare he can
muster. “That makes me sound so weak. I don’t like it.”
Hannibal smirks, taking Will’s words as a challenge.
Before Will can react, Hannibal rolls on top of him, enveloping Will in his
arms. He wrestles Will around, much to the omega’s protest, until they are both
sitting up. Will is situated in his lap, the omega’s knees planted on either
side of his waist. Hannibal cages the small omega against his body,
constricting his movement easily. 
“Hannibal!” Will cries out. “W-what do you think you’re doing?”
“If you think yourself so strong, then break free from my hold,” Hannibal
grins, tightening his arms even more in order to emphasize his point.
In their current position, Will is eye level with Hannibal. He struggles in
vein to free himself, pushing his hardest against Hannibal’s chest, but the
only response he receives from the alpha is a light-hearted chuckle – they both
know that he is not strong enough to break the hold.
At last, Will stills in Hannibal’s lap.
“Do you admit to your defeat?” Hannibal smirks.
“No,” Will snaps in irritation. At such a close proximity, Will can see
Hannibal’s face in clear detail – the light stubble that covers his jaw, the
grey that has begun to streak his hair, and the soft outline of his lips.
Although the alpha is older, he has aged beautifully.
Throwing caution to the wind, Will leans forward, pressing his mouth to
Hannibal’s in a feather light kiss. Will moves his mouth slowly, unsure of what
to do. Hannibal, who had been frozen in shock, slowly starts to respond. He
brings a hand up to cup Will’s face, the other gripping the omega’s hips
gently.  Will moans into the kiss before pulling away.
His eyes are glazed and his lips part to form a sweet yet triumphant smile.
“I win,” he breathes.
Hannibal is dazed, can still practically feel the omega’s soft lips against
his. It takes him a moment to fully process Will’s words.
The omega’s sweet smile breaks into a smug grin and he bursts into a fit of
delighted giggles.
 “I win!” he exclaims. “You let go of me. Do you admit to your defeat,
Hannibal?”
Hannibal can’t help but laugh at the omega’s clever trick. Although he is not
physically strong, Will more than compensates with his sharp wit.  
“I do,” he replies, voice full of warmth and affection. He slowly leans
forward, his arms snaking around the omega’s waist. “And what would the winner
want as his prize?” Hannibal gently rocks his hips against Will’s, making the
boy gasp softly.
“Another kiss?” Will’s request is full of innocence even as his face flushes
with want.
Hannibal leaves a trail of kisses along Will’s jaw, his stubble scratching the
omega’s smooth skin.
“As you wish,” he whispers before claiming Will’s lips once more

Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
Will rides with Hannibal, resting his head wearily against the alpha’s
shoulder.
Normally, he would be walking with the soldiers – his new friends – but he’s
been easily fatigued lately. He brushes off Hannibal’s concerned looks,
assuring the alpha that he’s fine. Hannibal knows better though and keeps a
close eye on Will.
“Little One,” he says quietly, making Will sigh. Hannibal only uses the term of
endearment when they’re either alone or when he’s particularly worried. “You
are burning up, I can feel it. Your scent has changed; it is sweeter than
before.”
Will stiffens at the alpha’s words.
They are still a good week and a half away from Hannibal’s tribe and the
temperature has steadily been dropping. Hannibal can’t be implying what Will
thinks he’s implying, because if it were true, they won’t make it to the tribe
in time.
“I am not going into heat, Hannibal,” Will hisses.
“You are, Little One,” Hannibal says firmly back. “Not just yet but it is
coming, and it would be foolish to pretend it isn’t.”
Will’s jaw clenches. He can’t be going into heat. He’s just now found a
comfortable relationship with Hannibal; not yet lovers but more than just
companions. He doesn’t know what will happen if they mate and bond – he feels
so young, so unprepared.
“Then why haven’t the other alphas smelled it on me?” Will seethes, leaning
forward, away from Hannibal.
“Being in my constant company has allowed my scent to linger on your skin. It
masks the aroma of your oncoming heat but only to a certain degree.” Hannibal
senses Will’s apprehension, the hidden worry he keeps locked inside him. He
wants nothing more than for the omega to be at ease and feel safe.
 “I will be a good alpha for you,” Hannibal says firmly, his words smooth and
deliberate.
Will draws a sharp breath.
“What?”
“I will be gentle with you during your heat. I can care for you, Will. Our
children will be strong and will want for nothing.” Hannibal tightens his hold
around Will, his thick, muscled arms a gentle reminder that he is a warrior,
able to provide and fight for the omega if the occasion arose.
“We are not having this conversation, Hannibal,” Will snaps childishly.  
Hannibal eyes Will’s exposed neck, the soft flesh peeking out from just beneath
his loose, linen shirt. He has the sudden urge to bite into it, sink his teeth
into the junction of the omega’s neck and finally claim him as his mate. He
wants to feel Will go limp in his arms, pliant and yielding, but he knows it is
not his place to do so without Will’s consent. He would never subject an omega
to an unwanted bond.
All Hannibal can do is battle with the stubborn omega through words.
“Who else would you prefer to fuck you?” he says plainly.
The crude language catches Will off guard. This has to be the first spat he and
Hannibal have had since they've come together.
“We are nothaving this conversation. Let me down, Hannibal.”
Hannibal growls in warning.
Too upset to care, Will bristles in anger.
“Let me down!” he shouts, capturing the attention of a few soldiers around
them. They act as if they don’t hear, a wise decision on their part. Hannibal’s
authority as an alpha is being challenged but as requested, he lets Will down
anyway. If the omega wants to act like a petulant child then Hannibal will let
him.
As usual, Will walks with Matthew towards the back of the group where the
supply carts are, an amiable silence settling between them. Will notices that
Matthew is beginning to give him curious looks. It makes Will self-conscious
but he smiles back anyway.
“Please don’t be alarmed but, your scent … it is different.” Matthew’s nostrils
flare momentarily, the wind blowing Will’s scent towards him. A distinctively
sweet fragrance clings to Will’s skin, like honey suckle and fresh rain.
Matthew wonders if the other soldiers can smell it on him as well.
A few yards ahead of them, Matthew sees a rustle in the bushes, a quick glimpse
of skin hidden amongst the shadows. He tenses, pausing in his tracks. Matthew’s
hand instinctively goes out to pull Will behind him as he scans the scene.
Suddenly, a group of twenty or so men rush out of the foliage, dispersing
amongst the nomadic warriors.
Out in the country side there are no lords to keep order, so bandits and
thieves are free to do as they see fit, robbing and stealing from vulnerable
travelers. Unfortunately, they have picked the wrong group to attack.
The nomadic warriors who can spare the time quickly draw their bows, expertly
hitting their targets. Very few bandits make it to the very back where Matthew
and Will are. When they do, it’s hardly a fight. They are felled easily by
quickly drawn swords. Hannibal’s alphas haven’t seen battle since the slaughter
of Will’s village and so they welcome the challenge.
The warriors form a protective, semi-circle around Will, an intimidating
formation for their foes. The ambush had happened so quickly that Will had
hardly a chance to process what had happened. He does not scream or panic –
instead, Will is rooted to the spot he stands. He watches emotionless as the
bandits are slaughtered within the span of only a few minutes, a testament to
the nomadic warriors’ skill. Most of the carnage is towards the front where
Hannibal had been. Will searches for the alpha and for a half a moment, he
feels a sense dread wash over him and his heart thuds painfully at the thought
of Hannibal being killed. His worrying is for naught  because he finds Hannibal
a few seconds later, an innumerable amount of dead bodies at his feet, his
steed a ways off. His sword is slick with blood, a dark crimson, as is his
armor. All who challenged him had felt his sword pierce their flesh, spilling
their life blood.
Will swallows thickly. Hannibal makes a breath-taking sight, standing above all
those who foolishly thought themselves capable enough to kill him. The argument
between them only an hour ago seems so petty now.
 
===============================================================================
 
 
As the warriors do the dirty work, piling up the dead bodies in order to be
burned later, Will tends to Hannibal’s wounds.
They had already set up camp for the evening, the sun just beginning to set on
the horizon. There would be no point in travelling any farther after dusk.
Hannibal had washed off any blood on his body and had removed his armor. Within
the privacy of his tent, he sits half naked and bare.  The majority of wounds
are on his arms, a collection of small cuts and bruises. The nomads’ medical
supplies are surprisingly abundant, having been taken from the villages they
had raided.
Will pours a small amount of alcohol onto a wash cloth and begins to clean
Hannibal’s wounds.
“Were you scared?” Hannibal asks as Will leans over him, dabbing the cloth
gently on the cuts.
“I wasn’t in any danger,” Will replies simply, his eyes downcast, trained
steadily on his task. “Your alphas saw to that.”
“I see,” Hannibal rumbles, his eyes fixated on the omega. “And were you scared
for me?”
At that, Will looks up, his movements momentarily stilled. “Why should I ever
be scared for you?”  he asks, almost in disbelief at such a stupid question.
“You’ve more than proven yourself capable in combat.”
He begins to once again dab the cloth on Hannibal’s wounds but finds it
significantly harder to focus this time.
“Not just scared for me, but scared of losing me,” Hannibal clarifies at last.
He gently takes hold of one of Will’s slender hands, removing the wash cloth
from it. Will blushes as he is pulled into the alphas lap. He looks away,
feeling like a child.
“You care for me, Little One. Say it,” the alpha commands in a deep, rasping
voice.
Will shivers. His breaths are shallow and he feels a deep warmth begin to form
in the pits of his belly.
“Hannibal,” he whines, feeling suddenly too hot.
“Say it.” Hannibal’s tone is commanding yet gentle. It makes Will squirm. He
feels so small in the alpha’s hold – he loves and hates it all it once.
In a gesture so gentle that it surprises Hannibal himself, he brushes the side
of Will’s face, his palm curving with the shape of the omega’s cheek in a
gentle caress. “Please say it,” he whispers.
Hannibal’s words are so sincere, so full of love that Will finally gives.
He draws a deep breath and nods, resting one of his hands over Hannibal’s
heart. He feels the steady rhythm of Hannibal’s life beneath his palm and finds
comfort in knowing that this heart, this alpha – mind, body and soul – Will
soon belong to him.
“I do,” Will says before he loses the courage to.  
That night, as Will sleeps, unbeknownst to him, his body rapidly begins to pump
out pheromones and readies itself for his preheat to truly start.
Admitting his affection aloud to the alpha had triggered something in his body.
His acknowledgment that Hannibal was the one he cared for coupled with the fact
that they were compatible in every single way drove Will's omega nature over
the edge. 
 
===============================================================================
 
Hannibal awakes in the middle of the night to Will panting in his ear and
plastered to his side. Will mouths desperately at Hannibal’s neck as he tries
futilely to seek release by grinding his hard cock against the alpha’s hip.
Without even lifting the furs, Hannibal can smell how wet Will is, how his hole
aches to be touched and filled.
Will whines as Hannibal shifts away from him. The alpha gropes blindly in the
dark until he manages to grab a flit and a candle in its holder. Once he
manages to light the candle, Hannibal turns his attention back to the omega.
The lighting is dim at best but Hannibal can still clearly see Will’s body
glisten with perspiration. He’s since kicked off the blankets and discarded his
night garments, timidly pulling at his small cock, a vestigial organ with the
sole purpose of heightening an omega’s pleasure. Will bites his lips and
whines, giving Hannibal a heated look.
They both know his preheat has begun and rather than shy away from it, Will
welcomes it happily.
He spreads his supple legs wide in invitation and gives Hannibal a timid smile.
He reaches out to Hannibal to hold his hand, his thumb caressing the alpha’s
calloused skin. “Please take care of me,” he whispers.
“I need you. I need my alpha.” Will’s says in Hannibal’s language, causing the
alpha’s heart to swell.
He nods in understanding and crawls over, settling himself between Will’s
supple legs. Will unabashedly spreads his legs as far as he can, presenting his
rosy, flushed cunt to Hannibal’s gaze. This close to heat, Will’s opening is
loose and pliant, giving easily to one of Hannibal’s fingers.
“Oh.” Will’s eyes flutter, his cunt tightening around Hannibal’s fingers – not
to push him out but to draw him further in. Hannibal gently caresses the
omega’s walls, his fingertip briefly grazing over a small bundle of nerves.
Will cries out, having never felt such pleasure come from within him before.
His hole slickens even more, greedy for attention.
Hannibal’s mouth salivates at the sight of Will’s wetness glistening around his
hand. It is then that he knows he needs to taste Will; to lick him out until
he’s a shaking mess and begging Hannibal to stop. He wants to lap up all of
Will’s sweetness until there couldn’t possibly be anymore.
With that in mind, Hannibal lays himself flat on his stomach. Will feels
Hannibal’s rough hands kneading his ass cheeks and spreading them apart.
Without so much as a warning, Hannibal begins to lick hungrily at Will’s cunt,
his tongue flat and wide as he swipes it over the omega’s opening.
Will cries out, his hands flying to his mouth in order to muffle the sound. The
soldiers’ tents are all spread a reasonable length apart but even so, he knows
an alpha’s senses are heightened and that they’ll be able to hear him if he’s
too loud. Between his legs, Hannibal continues to lick gently at his wet cunt,
savoring the omega’s sweet slick. Eager to taste more, he pushes his tongue
past the loose ring of muscles and moans. He licks into Will hungrily, his
whole face pressed against the omega’s ass.
His tongue is just barely long enough to press against the walls of Will’s cunt
but he does so with such vigor that Will can’t help the needy mewl that catches
in his throat. He forgets completely about the other soldiers sleeping outside,
forgets that the tent’s canvas will do nothing to mute his cries of pleasure –
all he knows is that Hannibal is between his legs with his lips pressed firmly
to his opening, licking up his slick like it’s ambrosia
Hannibal can feel Will’s slim hips roll languidly, desperate for his tongue.
Before long, Will’s mewls escalate into keening whines and breathy moans, loud
enough to wake Hannibal’s soldiers. Hannibal does nothing to quiet Will – he
wants his soldiers to hear his omega’s pleasure, a testament to his ability to
pleasure.
Will comes with a cry of Hannibal’s name, his back arching and his legs
shaking. A stream of slick gushes out of his hole. The alpha laps it up
hungrily, savoring the taste. Will reaches between his legs, carding his hand
gently through Hannibal’s mussed hair. Hannibal reluctantly pulls away and sits
up, his gaze still lingering on Will’s cunt. Embarrassed, the omega closes his
legs, hiding his entrance from view.
Will smiles sheepishly at Hannibal, his face flushed a rosy pink from his
afterglow. He gingerly sits up, his hand going to the back of Hannibal’s neck,
pulling the alpha into a gentle kiss.
That night, Hannibal brings Will to orgasm three more times, until he no longer
aches to be fucked and filled, his preheat temporarily satisfied.
Chapter End Notes
     Blah. I've edited this chapter so much and I'm still not happy with
     it, which is partially the reason why it's taken me so long to post.
     That and the fact that I was upset for awhile bc I came across a few
     people who apparently didn't "approve" of my kinks.
     That's a really shitty thing to do ... to make someone feel ashamed
     of what they enjoy privately. This chapter wasn't originally supposed
     to include smut but I wrote it as a "fuck you" to anyone who feels
     the need to put down others simply bc they find their kinks to be
     "gross" or somehow misogynistic.
     On a different note! I was thinking about making a one-shot dedicated
     solely to Will's pregnancy period, all they way up until he gives
     birth. It'll be like a snapshot of their lives and how Will adjusts
     to his new surroundings. Either that or in the next chapter, we'll
     have a time skip to when the baby is born. I'm not exactly sure which
     one I want to do right now, so if you have any ideas, please let me
     know.:)
***** I Do. *****
Chapter Notes
     Uhh, if anyone still remembers this fic?
See the end of the chapter for more notes
Will awakes the next morning to warm hands on his face, his lover’s palm
curving to the shape of his cheek in a gentle touch.
“Little one, you must wake,” he hears Hannibal murmur, his words sounding
distant and soft. Will whines and tries to burrow underneath the covers, hiding
in the small pocket of warmth trapped there. His body, although temporarily
sated from the previous night, is still faintly feverish. There is an ache
between his legs and an emptiness in his body he can’t help but notice.
Suddenly, Will yelps as he’s jostled, scooped up into Hannibal’s arms, blankets
and all. He winds his arms around Hannibal’s neck out of instinct.
“Hannibal!” he shouts, glaring at his lover who sports a playful grin.
Hannibal’s unusually long canines look endearing rather than intimidating in
the dim light of the early morning.
“Yes, little one?”
“It’s going to be cold outside,” Will whines, giving Hannibal a pleading look.
Hannibal responds with an arched brow. “Which is exactly why we should leave
now. I have to find adequate shelter for us if I’m to see you through your
first heat.”
Will knows Hannibal is right but his mind is still addled with sleep and thick
with pre-heat muddled thoughts. He just wants to burrow back into the safety of
the covers and drag Hannibal down with him. He wants to stay in their little
tent, closed off from the rest of the world, tucked under his alpha’s
comforting weight.
“Isn’t this adequate shelter?” Will tries to reason, eying the tent’s heavy
canvas.
Hannibal shakes his head and gently lets Will down onto his feet, keeping the
thick blankets secured around him.
“I’ve already readied my men,” Hannibal says, straightening the thick winter
cloak he’s donned. Will hadn’t noticed before but Hannibal had traded his
lighter, riding clothes for thick furs and heavy, woolen fabrics.
“Winter is coming.” Hannibal pulls aside one of the tent’s flaps and sure
enough, the ground is already covered with a light layer of snow. It glistens
in the morning light, like a thousand crystals, illuminating the sparse woods
around them. It is a beautiful backdrop to the camp, Hannibal’s men dutifully
packing up the remainder of their tents but it is also a gentle reminder to
what lies ahead.
Will sighs.
===============================================================================
Shortly after Will had awakened, Hannibal’s men had packed everything away and
were ready to go.
Will, for being half out of his mind from preheat, still has enough wits about
him to know that every single warrior had heard his unadulterated moans and
cries for more the night before. He had purposefully avoided all eye contact
with the other alphas, although he was certain none of them would tease or
jest. Alphas were known to be volatile when their mates were close to heat and
Hannibal was no exception. The only alpha who had dared say a word to him was
Matthew who simply offered him a “good morning” and a hesitant smile before
backing away slowly and returning to his horse.
Will had wanted to say hello as well, but he had turned when he had felt a firm
hand on his shoulder. Hannibal gave him an expectant look and in no time, the
camp had headed out, in search of shelter.
Will rides with Hannibal, seated in front of him wrapped in several blankets
and a hooded shawl. He leans back into the warmth Hannibal provides and closes
his eyes.
As the hours go on, Will’s heat draws nearer. He can feel it itch under his
skin and crawl through his veins. It is a slow burn that eventually escalates
to an almost aching pain. He starts to emit distressed whines he can’t help.
The light snow fall from before has steadily become heavier. The wind had
become an entity unto itself, howling and shrieking through the woods, whipping
the snow into all the mens’ faces.
And yet, Will can not feel the cold. Underneath the blankets, he burns like a
flame that refuses to bend to the wind. His body trembles and slick gathers at
his cunt. He rubs himself back into his alpha’s broad frame.
Hannibal clenches the reins and goads his horse to ride farther until he’s a
good distance from the rest of the pack.
“Matthew,” he barks, knowing that the other alpha will still hear the command
despite the wind. In a matter of seconds, Matthew is by their side.
He looks to Hannibal and his gaze flickers briefly to Will. The omega’s face is
flushed and his eyes glazed but he offers his a friend a tentative smile
anyways. Matthew returns with a small nod before giving his full attention to
Hannibal.
The general wraps his arms around the omega in front of him in a display of
dominance before giving out orders, the words raspy and harsh in his mother
tongue. Matthew nods in understanding and quickly rides ahead, his figure
growing more and more distant until his image is shrouded, indistinguishable by
the falling snow.
“Where’s Mathew going?” Will asks in a small voice, looking to Hannibal.
Hannibal kisses his forehead and hugs the omega closer.
“I’ve sent him ahead to search for shelter. Matthew is my fastest rider and if
he cannot find us shelter, then we must set up camp here.”
Hannibal grimaces — to be out in the open woods with no security is the worst
situation imaginable, especially for a pair of mates with a tentative bond. The
canvas of the tent will hardly be a safe place for Will to nest, especially
with the rest of Hannibal’s alphas near by.
Hannibal trusts his men fully, but when a nearby omega is in heat — especially
one as fertile and young as Will — alphas are unpredictable, especially those
who’ve yet to take a mate.
The alternative is to dispel them but that would mean sacrificing the safety of
pack. To be alone with nothing but a tent for shelter would give a rogue alpha
or another group of bandits an easy opening to challenge Hannibal.
His only real hope lies in Matthew.
Will suddenly whines a high-pitched, pathetic little noise. He arches his back
and turns his head, exposing the vulnerable flesh of his neck.
“How much longer?” the omega whimpers.
Hannibal can feel just how hot Will is and silently curses the gods for the
winter storm that billows around them.
“Shh, little one. Everything will be fine.” As Hannibal speaks sweet,
reassuring nothings, he rids himself of one of his gloves and slithers a bare
hand underneath Will’s covers. He quickly finds the outline of Will’s little
cocklet through the fabric of his pants.
He strokes it through the material, can practically feel the hot flesh throb at
his touch. Will moans, his hole aching for attention but can only find relief
from what Hannibal offers him.
“Puh-please, p-please,” Will stutters, finding it harder and harder to form
words. His body is hyperaware of everything around him — the feel of his
alpha’s hand and the warmth pressed to his back — but his mind feels distant.
His mind feels like it’s not his own, and he mewls softly, waiting to be
reassured by his alpha.
Hannibal’s brows furrow and gently squeezes Will’s cock for good measure.
“Tell me what you want, little one,” he asks in a gentle tone. Will responds
with a small yip, arching into the palm of his hand.
“Alpha?” he responds in a small voice, confirming Hannibal’s suspicions.
The previous night Will had been fully lucid, aware of everything around him.
Even through the preheat pheromones, he could still communicate verbally what
felt good, what he wanted, how he wanted it.
Because of the lack of safety coupled with the absence of a knot, Will had
regressed into a childlike mindset in order to cope. It was almost primitive in
the fact he could only respond with so many words and was fully dependent on
his alpha to take care of him. It was a rare occurrence, and only ever happened
with young, inexperienced omegas or if the omega in question felt particularly
endangered. Will, unfortunately, fit both criteria.
“It’s alright, little one.”
Hannibal keeps one arm secure around Will’s waist as the hand beneath the
blankets continues to work Will’s length.
“Ah, ah,” Will pants. His cunt throbs and he needs to be filled — he knows he
does — but he can’t quite find the words. He can feel his alpha behind him and
knows that he’ll be taken care of. His alpha is big and strong; stronger than
all the other alphas but also loving and gentle. He just wishes his alpha would
be quicker about it.
In the distance, Hannibal can see Matthew’s form emerge through the heavy snow
fall that whips through the woods. His face is flushed and his hood has been
thrown back in his haste.
“General!” he shouts, stopping his steed a few feet away. He is visibly out-of-
breath but continues anyways. “There is a rocky hillside, up farther ahead.
There is a small opening in it like a cave. It should be deep enough to block
out the storm.”
Hannibal sighs, relieved at the news. He urges his steed forward in order to
close the gap between them.
“I will remember this,” he says, hoping that the expression on his face conveys
his utmost appreciation. When Will’s heat ends and they arrive back at the
tribe, he will announce Matthew as his second in command. The alpha has more
than proven his loyalty. “Fetch me some supplies from the others and I will
ride ahead.”
Matthew nods and in no time, Hannibal has everything he needs to properly see
Will through his heat. The other alphas will stay a reasonable distance away;
far enough that Will’s pheromones won’t drive them feral but close enough to
fend off a potential, outside threat.
Hannibal must reluctantly withdraw his hand from the covers, earning a
displeased whine from his omega. He shushes Will and whispers sweet nothings as
he rides ahead, knowing that the omega will not fully able to comprehend him in
the state he’s in but will be calmed by the soothing cadence of his voice.
 
===============================================================================
 
The cave is a reasonable size —its opening is small enough that Hannibal must
duck to get in but the inside is slightly larger. Its ceiling is high enough
that Hannibal does not have to hunch and just wide enough for Will to make a
comfortable nest.
Hannibal takes the blankets and furs that they’ve used to sleep on in his tent
and hands them to Will. The omega tilts his head in question but accepts the
large bundle.
“Alpha?” Will asks in that small voice of his.
Hannibal takes Will’s face in his hands, his thumb gently swiping over the baby
soft skin of Will’s cheeks.
“Make your nest, Will. I must try and see if I can build a fire.”
Even though it shields them from the elements, the cave is still barren and
cold. Hannibal would prefer some sort of heat to make their coupling more
comfortable, and the cave is also dark and night will eventually come.
On some level, Will must know this as well but all he does is shake his head.
“Alpha!” he pouts, giving Hannibal his best pleading look. He makes a series of
distressed whimpers in the back of his throat, setting Hannibal’s instincts
alight. He’s upset his omega but he also knows he must attend to other things
before they can mate.
He gently takes one of the furs out of the bundle Will carries and spreads it
on the ground. He crouches down and pats the space next to him. Will dutifully
sits down in the space indicated and looks to Hannibal with an earnest
expression, wanting to naturally appease the alpha.
“Look at what I’m doing, little one,” Hannibal says, keeping eye contact with
Will. He takes another blanket and purposefully drapes it around the space near
Will in a protective, semi-circle. “Now do the same,” he says in a stern voice.
Tentatively, Will places another blankets beside him. He looks to Hannibal for
reassurance, which he receives in the form of a smile.
Hannibal leans closer and places a chaste kiss to Will’s curls.
“Very good,” he says.
Will is quick to build his nest after that, his natural instincts kicking in.
Hannibal unpacks the remaining dry wood he had his alphas store in clothed
bundles underneath the rest of the supplies. It takes a few tries but he’s able
to ignite a small flame which he carefully stokes until it burns bright enough
to illuminate the dark cave.
The fire bathes the cave walls in a warm glow and adds just enough heat to make
the small space cozy.
Done with his task, he turns to face Will.
Hannibal almost forgets to breathe.
Amidst the sea of blankets and furs lies Will, entirely naked.
He had silently stripped bare and lies casually in the little nest he’s made.
One of his slender hands are wrapped around his cocklet, stroking it leisurely
while the other rubs at his one of his rosy nipples.
“Alpha?” Will breathes, voice soft and sweet.
Hannibal can’t divest himself of his clothes fast enough. His clothes join
Will’s, forgotten in a small pile along the wall.
He settles himself atop the omega and finally lets himself breathe, relax. Will
smells like fresh dough and morning dew. Like sweet berries and the morning
sun.
Hannibal captures both Will’s hands in his own and presses them down into the
blankets above Will’s head. The omega mewls and wriggles his hips.
“Knot?” he says in such an innocent way, as if asking for a second helping of
sweets.
“Knot,” Hannibal agrees, finally, leaning down to capture Will’s lips in a kiss
that’s more tongue than anything else.
He sets about preparing Will’s pussy but finds it’s already loose and more than
slick. He’s so wet that his inner thighs are coated in his slick and when
Hannibal slides a finger inside, Will’s hole accepts it easily.
Will sighs, a happy smile on his face as he cants his hips back, silently
asking for more. He takes the next two fingers without complaint and soon
after, he can’t stop mewling, his cunt aching for something bigger. Hannibal
finally deems him ready after brushing across Will’s sweet spot, making the
omega cry out. He’s at his wit’s ends and can’t stop babbling alpha, alpha,
alpha.
Hannibal gathers a few more blankets to place under Will’s hips and spreads the
omega’s supple legs wide, silently appreciative of the boy’s natural
flexibility.
Hannibal presses his cock to Will’s pink opening, smearing the slick there with
the head of his member teasingly before finally pushing in.
Hannibal grits his teeth and tries to be as gentle as he can. He studies Will’s
expressions and pays attention to the small noises he makes. The farther he
pushes in, the more Will’s mouth falls open, emitting small whines and
breathless moans.
When Hannibal is pushed into the hilt, Will rolls his hips upward
experimentally, crying out when Hannibal’s cock accidentally brushes against
his prostate.
“Yes,” he hisses and rolls his hips back again and again, grinding back onto
Hannibal’s thick girth. Hannibal loves seeing his omega take his pleasure, but
Will is going far too slow for his liking and his patience is wearing thin.
He hooks Will’s legs around his waist and leans forward, his hands bracketing
Will’s head. He begins to grind down into Will’s tight, little cunt,
alternating with shallow thrusts, taking control of the pace.
“Little one,” Hannibal breathes, thrusting faster, deeper.
Will’s body suddenly tenses and then he comes without warning, his body having
been deprived of stimulation for too long.
He whimpers at the intensity of it, his pussy squeezing around his alpha’s
length as wave after wave of pleasure washes through him. Hannibal is a
seasoned alpha and gives his new mate no reprieve, continuing to fuck Will
through his orgasm.
Will’s body sings from overstimulation but he doesn’t dare tell Hannibal to
stop — he couldn’t even find the words if he wanted to.
He lets himself be maneuvered in every position Hannibal wants him in — his
limbs soft and pliant. His greedy cunt tightens with each outward thrust, never
wanting Hannibal’s cock to leave his body.
He comes again, gasping for air as Hannibal continues to fuck him, hard and
fast. His mind slowly start to come together and he’s able to form more words
like “please” and “more” but at the same time, he feels like he’s unraveling at
the very seams.
Will loses track of time as Hannibal brings him to orgasm over and over again.
At one point, his little cocklet refuses to spurt out anymore cum, his tender,
omegan balls empty after orgasming so many times.
Will starts to cry, doesn’t even know when or during what position. Maybe while
he had been on his knees and knees or maybe it was while he had been on top as
he had tried to bounce on Hannibal’s cock with the last of his strength.
Either way, he’s on his side now with Hannibal’s voice in his ear, low and
gruff as he speaks his mother language — and Will can only half understand.
Precious.
Beautiful.
Mate.
Hannibal’s body feels powerful as he thrusts into Will, holding the omega’s leg
up easier access. It is broad and thick, forged from years of war and so unlike
Will’s own. The omega whines as he feels the base of Hannibal’s cock begin to
thicken.
Hannibal’s pace is frenzied now as he tries to bury himself as deep as he can
with each thrust. His forming knot catches Will’s tender rim until finally, he
buries himself in his mate, holding onto Will’s hips in a death grip.
As he begins to come, he molds himself to Will’s form, his mouth watering on
instinct. He growls a deep, reverberating sound and Will tilts his head back,
knowing what his alpha wants.
Without word or warning, Hannibal sinks his teeth into the pale flesh of Will’s
neck and comes, finally solidifying their bond.
His hips jerk forward and he moans into the back of his mate’s neck as he pumps
Will full of his seed. Will’s voice is raspy, almost entirely gone from his
cries and wails of pleasure, but he still manages to whisper his alpha’s name
in reverence. He reaches back to squeeze Hannibal’s hand reassuringly.
After having been knotted, Will’s clarity fully returns.
Will’s body aches but in a comforting sort of way. He feels loved and
cherished, more than he ever remembers. After awhile, Hannibal finally stops
coming but his knot still keeps his seed firmly in his mate. He drapes an arm
over Will’s torso and can swear he can feel a slight swell in the omega’s belly
from all the come kept inside.
Either way, this is only a momentary reprieve in Will’s heat and Hannibal will
knot him again and again until all Will knows is the feel of it stretching
inside him, filling him with Hannibal’s pups.
The mated pair lie together in their temporary bliss, watching the dying embers
of their little fire cast dancing shadows across the cave walls.
Outside, the winter storm continues to rage.

     Also, the regression sort of just ... happened without me planning it
     to. It was Will's way of coping with his heat and honestly my mind
     was like "write the thing, it'll be hot" so I wrote the thing. I have
     no self-control, I know.
     Thank you for all your support! Especially with my little bump in the

     This is my first time writing a fic in about a year. It's also my
     first time writing for something other than a band fandom. I think it
     goes without saying that I don't have a beta, so feedback would be
     much appreciated!
     Also, the characters may be a bit OOC but I just wanted some happy,
