Mythical Pregnancy ~5

~With Cael~

~The ancient halls of the royal wing echoed beneath Cael’s boots, each step like a drumbeat down his spine. His jaw was still tight from the match. His body hummed with adrenaline. But what shook him most… wasn’t the fight. It was the Omega. "Riven" His name hadn't left Cael’s mind since the moment their blades touched. Not because Riven had won. But because he didn't bow. That look in his eyes — wild, knowing, magnetic — lingered like a challenge in Cael’s chest. Not even lust. Something deeper.Something dangerous~

Which is exactly what his mother sensed the moment he entered the throne chamber.

UNKNOWN

Cale's Mother:- You’re distracted *tone clipped* *eyes sharp*

~His mother was still regal, every inch of her carved by power. His father, stood beside her like a stone wall unreadable, immovable, unbreakable. Cael folded his arms behind his back~

CAEL SOLARIN [Enigma]

The duel went longer than expected.

UNKNOWN

His mother:- *eyes narrowed* The Omega she said flatly

Cael flinched. Just barely. But they saw it.

UNKNOWN

His mother:- I assume you’re not going to tell me. Because your heart is too loud right now, Cael. And you were trained better than that.

CAEL SOLARIN [Enigma]

He was… unusual *said tightly*

UNKNOWN

His father:- Unusual is another word for disruptive *He stepped forward* You are the last of your kind. The highest evolution of the Alpha class. Your body cannot afford emotional compromise. Your enemies already suspect your-

CAEL SOLARIN [Enigma]

My what

UNKNOWN

His mother:- Nothing shut up... don't try to change the topic

CAEL SOLARIN [Enigma]

No...No i wa-

UNKNOWN

His mother:- *angrily look at him*

CAEL SOLARIN [Enigma]

Sorry Mother *head down*

UNKNOWN

His mother:- You can never trust an Omega *said coldly * Especially not one that tries to meet your eyes. Omegas seduce. Manipulate. They see power as something to devour.

CAEL SOLARIN [Enigma]

You expect me to never bond? *voice low*

UNKNOWN

His father:- We expect you to lead. And to lead, you must be untouchable.

~There was silence. Then his mother added, almost gently~

UNKNOWN

His mother:- Furthermore, you don’t need love, Cael. You need loyalty. You need control. Anything else is a lie a crack waiting to spread.

~He nodded, slowly, the words settling like frost in his chest~

CAEL SOLARIN [Enigma]

Yes, Mother. Father *bow them*

~But as he bowed and left, his mind was already drifting. To dark eyes. To a defiant grin. To the way Riven whispered like he already knew him~
