BOUND BY THE MOON EPISODE 4

Nicholas

(staring at giant carved gates) …Okay. So let me get this straight. This is your house?

Xander

(calmly) My residence.

Nicholas

(gaping) Residence?? This is a castle! Back home, my apartment didn’t even have hot water half the time!

Servant Beta

(bowing) My Lord, we’ve prepared rooms for the Omega.

Nicholas

(points at self) Omega? Hello?? I’m still here. You can just say me.

Xander

(ignores the protest) He stays in my wing.

Nicholas

(chokes) Your wing?! Excuse me?? Do I look like free Wi-Fi to you? Why can’t I have my own room?

Xander

(simply) Because I said so.

Nicholas

(to self) …Oh, he’s one of those.

Nicholas

(💭)Okay. Deep breaths. Don’t freak out. You’re just trapped in a palace with a suspiciously attractive Alpha Lord who wants to keep you like a decorative houseplant. Totally fine.

Servant Beta

(nervously) My Lord, shall we prepare the suppressants?

Nicholas

(perks up) Suppressants? Yes, please! I’d like to suppress this entire situation!

Servant Beta

(blinking) …They’re for your pheromones, Omega.

Nicholas

Right. Of course. Forgot I’m basically a walking perfume factory now.

Xander

(steps closer, tone sharp) No need.

Servant Beta

But—

Nicholas

(throws hands up) Oh, wonderful. He’s going to “handle it.” I can’t wait to see what medieval nonsense that means.

Nicholas

(💭)Note to self: find out what “Enigma” means in this world. Maybe if I’m lucky, I can claim I’m one of those instead. Something rare. Something un-sniffable. Something that doesn’t get locked in hot Alpha mansions like Rapunzel 2.0.

Xander

(studying MC quietly as they walk) You’re too calm. Most Omegas would be clinging to me by now.
