Chapter 1
The air was tense in the Dawson estate. Luke Dawson, a dominant omega with a sharp tongue and sharper instincts, stood at the long dining table while his older brothers argued around him.
Jay Dawson (DA) Mc Oldest Brother
A meeting with the Vasseris? *snapped* Dad, Are you serious?
Oliver Dawson (E) Mc Father
It's a peace offer
"Their father, said calmly, though his voice had an edge"
Oliver Dawson (E) Mc Father
And they're requesting you, Luke
"Luke leaned back in his chair, arms folded"
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
Of course they are. They want the freak omega
Ethan Dawson (E) Mc Second Brother
You’re not a freak, *muttered*
Ethan Dawson (E) Mc Second Brother
You’re just.... rare
Jay Dawson (DA) Mc Oldest Brother
That’s exactly the problem. They don’t want peace—they want leverage. And Luke’s the perfect pawn
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
I'm not anyone's pawn *said coldly*
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
And if the Vasseris think they can collar me into submission, they’re in for a surprise."
The room fell into a heavy silence after Luke’s words
Jay Dawson (DA) Mc Oldest Brother
*Clenched his jaw* You can’t seriously be entertaining this. You’re too valuable, Luke
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
*rolled his eyes* Valuable. Like an asset. Or a loaded gun someone else is holding
Jay Dawson (DA) Mc Oldest Brother
I didn’t mean it like that
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
Didn’t you?
"Ethan spoke again, quieter"
Ethan Dawson (E) Mc Second Brother
What if this meeting is a trap?
Oliver finally rose from his seat, casting a firm glance around the table
Oliver Dawson (E) Mc Father
It’s a risk. But if we keep living behind walls, we’re no better than the monsters we’re hiding from
Luke looked at his father, arching a brow
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
Since when did you become the optimist?
Oliver Dawson (E) Mc Father
I’m not. *tone darkened*I’m a strategist. And right now, this is a move we have to make
Jay Dawson (DA) Mc Oldest Brother
*Scoffed* And Luke just walks in, alone?
James Dawson (DO) Mc Mother
He won’t be alone
James said suddenly, stepping in from the hallway
The Dawson matriarch’s eyes locked onto her son’s. He crossed the room, calm as ever
James Dawson (DO) Mc Mother
If the Vasseris think they can toy with a Dawson, let them try. They’ll find out we don’t raise our omegas to kneel
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
*Smirked faintly* Funny. I’ve been saying that for years.
"That night – Dawson Estate, Luke’s Room"
Luke stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the cufflinks of his custom black suit — no tie, no softening touches. His bond mark remained unsealed. Untaken. His scent was deliberately masked
Leon stepped inside without waiting
Leon Spencer (DO) Mc Best friend
You look like you’re going to a funeral
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
I might be
Leon Spencer (DO) Mc Best friend
*raised a brow* Yours or theirs?
Leon walked up, adjusting the collar of Luke’s coat with gentle hands
Leon Spencer (DO) Mc Best friend
Hey, You know what to do if it goes south, right?
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
*Eyes flickered up* “Yeah”
Leon Spencer (DO) Mc Best friend
Say it
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
Three taps. Right thigh. Backup comes in hard
Leon Spencer (DO) Mc Best friend
*nodded, jaw tight* Good
They stood in silence for a moment longer
Leon Spencer (DO) Mc Best friend
You sure you’re ready to face him?
Luke Dawson (DO) MC
Let the prince of Vasseri look me in the eye. I’m done being the myth they whisper about. It’s time he sees the storm in the flesh
