Queen Quartz was known throughout the lands as a mighty powerful alpha. Whose kindness and love for everything knows no boundaries. Yet there are some that know the truth. Some that knows she's a bloodthirsty beast waiting in the shadows.
Queen Garnet was also an alpha but of a different kind. Yes her love was eternal and her kindness was unmeasurable but she relied on her people. They were her strength. Her rule was nothing without the thoughts of her people. She loved them and they loved her.
Quartz's people loved her love and she loved their loyalty. One would not call Rose a brute but scum comes in many colors. Even the colors of roses.
Pearl rode to the right of Queen Quartz and Bismuth rode on her left. This was suppose to have been a simple meeting between monarchs about land expansion. However Queen Garnet's knight couldn't keep her mouth shut and stay in her place. She just had to talk bad about Queen Quartz to her face and get Bismuth riled up. Pearl rolled her eyes as they came to a stop. She hoped this duel would be over and without much blood shed. After all Bismuth was not the Queen's knight for favoritism. She was feared all around the land.
"I know you Garnet." Rose said as she smiled at the fellow Queen.
"No you don't." Garnet growled as she took off the glasses that hid her eyes.
Rose's smile widen. She could read people like a book sometimes and when Garnet took off her glasses it usually meant the situation had turned serious. "Oh I believe I do. Violence is not your style and you only revert to it when there is no other way. And since our conversation was interrupted by a nonsense argument between our knights. That means something else as peaked your interest and their is something you want." Rose tapped her chin a she looked around at the small group that surrounded them. Rose always traveled with a group so people could see her beauty. Because there was beauty in everything that she did. "Now I wonder what that could be?"
"Enough!" Garnet said jumping down from her horse. "Get down off your horse so we can do this." Garnet drew her sword and pointed it in Rose's face.
Rose smirked knocking the blade out of her face. "What is it you want if you win?"
"Does that matter now? I'll tell you when I win." Garnet said rolling her eyes. The other Queen really knew how to get under her skin.
Rose threw her head back laughing. "Oh Garnet! You really know how to make me laugh!" Rose said wiping away her tears. "When you lose I want your Kingdom." Rose said looking Garnet right in the eyes.
Garnet let her eyes flicker to Pearl before she nodded. "I accept."
Why did she look at me! Pearl thought as she blushed.
"Heh! This is going to be easy!" Bismuth said as she jumped off her horse drawing her sword and battle axe.
"Hey!" Jasper growled only to be silenced by Garnet's hand.
"It's okay Jasper. I had a feeling I would be fighting Bismuth. The only uncommon thing here is that you are not in my place." Garnet said staying in step with Bismuth as she moved.
"But my 'lady you should not have to fight someone who is beneath you." Jasper explained as her eye twitched. She was livid that a knight was allowed to fight her Queen. She knows Rose to be a lot of things but a coward was high on the list. She growled as she waited for her Queen to lay waste to Rose Quartz useless right hand.
"Jasper mind your manners." Garnet said the corners of her mouth twitching upward. It's not that agreed with Jasper but a small part of her at least hoped that Rose would step up. Step up and be the woman her followers thought she was.
Bismuth was the first to strike swing her axe. Garnet dropped and knocked her off her feet. She rolled and jumped on top of Bismuth. Trapping her arms with her knees and pressing her blade into the knights throat.
"Do it." Bismuth said through clenched teeth. Raising her head up so she could press into the sword. A small trail of blood rolled down her neck.
Garnet squinted her eyes at her and pushed up off the other alpha. "I won." Garnet said a she sheathed her sword. Garnet didn't spare Bismuth a second glance as she turned to Rose. "I want your slave. Pearl."
Pearl jumped when she hear her name. She looked over to Queen Garnet but the woman didn't spare her a look to busy staring down Rose. Why would she want a enslaved omega like her. Besides Rose wouldn't get rid of her. She was her confidant so she couldn't be thrown away so easily.
The two Queens stared at each other daring the other to look away. Rose blank stare bore into Garnets harsh glare. "Pearl." Rose said not taking her eyes off of Garnet.
Pearl gasped as her head snapped to her Queen. She stuttered words not forming as she looked between Queen Garnet and Queen Quartz.
"You heard her." Bismuth said as she took the reins of Pearl's horse.
"B-B-But I'm your confidant!" Pearl said distraught.
"I'll get another." Rose sighed as she turned away on her horse.
"B-B-" Pearl stuttered as tears formed in her eyes.
"Get down runt!" Bismuth hissed as she yanked Pearl down from the horse.
Pearl fell with a thud as someone came to take her horse away. Pearl went to move but pain sprung up from her ankle. She groaned as she grabbed it. "Rose! Rose please!" Pearl begged as her Queen started to leave.
Queen Quartz stopped and looked back at the woman on the ground with a smile of her lips. "Oh Pearl. My Pearl. You were my slave. I took you off the streets and gave you a job. I did what any other person with a heart would do. The fact that I told you things went without saying. Any other slave would have heard them as well if she was there. I'm sorry you assumed other wise." Queen Quartz said smiling as she turned back around.
Pearl's whole body shook as she watched her Queen leave her there. Leave her there as if she were nothing more than trash but deep down Pearl new it was true. She pulled her knees up to her chest and cradled her hurt ankle as she cried.
"I'm going to pick you up ok?" Pearl looked up to see Queen Garnet kneeling in front of her.
Pearl sniffed and trembled as she looked at the kind smile the Queen was sporting. "Why?" She sobbed out. The alpha's scent had her wanting to look away but she couldn't. She needed to hear why.
Garnet a laughed as she thumbed away Pearl's tears. "I want you." Garnet said offering her a smile. "Is it alright if I pick you up now? Or would you prefer I have someone else do it?" Garnet asked again hoping Pearl would chose her.
"It's ok." Pearl sniffed as she bit her lip. Garnet carefully picked her up and shushed her when she whimpered. She got back on her horse and held the omega close. Pearl couldn't stop herself from sniffing her neck snuggling close. Garnet's voice had her jumping out of her hiding place.
"When we get back to the castle I'm going to get your leg healed but for now I need you to bear with it. We'll be back at the castle shortly." Garnet said as her horse started to gallop. Pearl nodded as she buried back into the Queen's neck.
Garnet carried a asleep Pearl to her room. People don't usually fall asleep in a strangers arms and a alpha's at that. She wasn't surprised since the poor woman had just been through emotional stress of being thrown away. Garnet still couldn't believe Rose had just gave her away like that. A growl escaped her lips as she shut the door to her room. Pearl grumbled as she woke up rubbing her eyes.
"Hey sleepy head. Nice to have you back again." Garnet teased as she looked down at the omega in her arms. Pearl blushed as she looked away.
"I'm going to sit you down. I need to get the healing water for your leg." Garnet said softly. She wasn't going to ask Pearl to use her saliva since it could have healed it. She brushed Pearls bangs out of her face.
"Ok it doesn't hurt as much like it did before." Pearl mumbled as her eyes scanned over the room. If she had to guess. They were in the Queens chambers.
Garnet nodded as she sat her down on her bed. She quickly made her way to over to a chest at the foot of the bed. "Did you know you purr in your sleep?" Garnet asked as she dug around in the chest.
"Oh um I haven't done that in ages since I was kit." Pearl admitted as she blushed. She knew she only does it when she felt comfortable and safe. It has been so long since she's done it that she forgot she could do such a thing. She was embarrassed to say the least.
"No need to be embarrassed. It's cute." Garnet said kneeling in front of her. She winked at her before carefully taking ahold of her ankle.
Taking the cork out with teeth she slowly poured the liquid over Pearl's ankle. Pearl hissed when she started to rub it but that slowly turned into a pleasant hum. She mewled when the Queen began to knead the flesh with both hands. "I take that it feels good?" Garnet asked looking up at her.
Pearl gasped as she yanked her ankle free from her hands. "Sorry. I mean yes thank you. It feels much better." Garnet nodded as she cleaned up the mess from the floor. She was putting the healing water back up when Pearl spoke again.
"So am I really going to be your slave?" Garnet heard the quiver in her voice and sighed. She closed the chest and got up.
Going over to her closet and walking in. Pearl got nervous when she couldn't see her anymore. Just when she was thinking she should have kept her mouth close Garnet was back in the room closing the door. Pearl watched her walk back over to the bed then sit beside her. She sat up straighter when she saw the collar in her lap.
"Yes it's true." Garnet said running her fingers over the white leather. "I want you to be my slave. Mine." Garnet looking at her and that's when Pearl noticed she had took off her glasses while she was out of sight. Pearl gasped her eyes were beautiful. One red and the other blue. "I'm not sure what your thinking in your head but I'm going to go on a limb here and say your wrong." She continued when Pearl frowned. "Yes you're going to be my slave but you're free to do whatever you want."
Pearl searched her eyes to see nothing but truth. "I'm sure there are rules." Pearl sighed looking down at her hands. Who was she kidding. She could never really be free.
"A few." Garnet said biting her lip. Pearl thought she looked so unsure of herself. So unlike a Queen. Pearl nodded for her to go on. "The collar stays on and never comes off. I'm the only one who can take it off and put it back on."
"Sounds easy enough."
"I want you to sleep in my bed with me. I want you to get use to my presence and since I might not see you that much during the day because of our schedules. I do make it a habit to come home and sleep in my bed at night."
"Will I be able to have my on space?"
"Yes of course. You can have any room you want or we can build you one."
"Ok I don't have a problem with sharing my nights with you. If sleeping is all we're doing right?" Pearl asked blushing hands bunching up in her shirt.
Garnet blushed as she stammered over her on words. "We won't be doing anything until your are one hundred percent sure."
"Thank you." Pearl mumbled embarrassed.
Garnet coughed to cover up her embarrassness. "Yes well I am no animal. And let's see. If it's ok with you I would like to scent mark you. I want everyone to know you belong to me. I'm not going to claim you until your ready so I don't want anyone thinking that your open to court." Garnet said scowling down at the floor. It pissed her off to think about anyone getting close to whats hers.
"Ok I have no problem with it." Pearl hands tangled in each other. A nervous habit of hers as she bit her lip.
Garnet turned her head back towards her. "If you have something to say. Then just say it. Regardless of my status I never want you to hold back from saying something to me. I want us to be open and honest all the time. Okay?"
Pearl nodded. "Well I was wondering one day could I maybe scent you to?" She asked twiddling her thumbs.
"Oh yeah! I would love it if you did. You don't even have to ask me and it doesn't matter where we're at or what I'm doing." Garnet smiled. She didn't mention that Pearl scent was soaked into her skin right now from all the scent marking she was doing in her sleep. "And if you want to leave the castle to explore that's fine. All I ask is that you let me know so, that I or someone I trust can accompany you so that you'll be safe."
"I can really leave the kingdom?" Pearl asked not believing a word she just heard.
"Yes I already told you you're free to do as you please but." Pearl rolled her eyes. There was always a catch. "Your safety comes first no matter what. So if you're going to do something dangerous or irresponsible I suggest you think other wise. I'm going to be really pissed if it's something you could of avoided but ended up getting hurt anyway." Garnet said in a stern voice that had Pearl nodding her head. "Good now since you accept everything then do you mind kneeling in front of me. I want to put your collar on now."
Garnet's smile had her stomach in butterflies as she slide down on to the floor. She smiled when she heard Garnet's breath hitch when as she crawled over and kneel like she asked. She bared her neck and couldn't help but answer with her own growl at the sound of Garnet's pleased one. Garnet made her hold up two fingers against her throat as she fastened the golden buckle in place. She gave it a quick tug.
"How is it?" She asked fingers gently gliding over collar and skin.
Pearl leaned into the soft touches. "It's ok."
Garnet cupped her cheeks and leaned forward to give her a kiss on the gem on her forehead. Pearl blushed from all the attention she was getting. Clearly not use to it and that made Garnets blood boil. Since Pearl should be given anything she wants. She watched as her expression turned sour and she whined. "What's wrong?" She begged hoping she did nothing wrong.
"I'm sorry I waited so long to tell you." Pearl said as her tears started to fail. "It's just that everything's been a rush and it slipped my mind. But I'm infertile I can't give you any kits or pups, or cubs, anything!" Pearl openly sobbed now and Garnet could only pull her into her arms.
"It's okay." Garnet said as she tried to calm her. She rubbed her back and just kept whispering sweet nothings in her ear. When Pearl quieted down to only sniffles Garnet spoke again. "It's okay. I don't mind that you can not give me a litter. When and if it comes time for that then we'll cross that bridge when we get there." Garnet got up and pulled the covers back. She laid Pearl down and tucked the little omega in. "And you're right. It has been a rush so how about you get some rest. I'll come back later with some dinner. How does that sound?" Garnet asked in a soothing voice that relaxed Pearl. Her smile brightened when Pearl began to purr but was to tired to notice it.
"Aren't you going to be busy?" Pearl asked with a yawn.
"I'm never going to be to busy for you." Garnet said running a hand through Pearl's hand.
Pearl sighed happily as she snuggled into the pillows beneath her head. Garnet waited until her breathing evened out before kissing her temple and slipping out the room. Garnet rolled her shoulders breathing out deeply as she walked down her quiet hallway. Everyone had cleared out to give her and Pearl some space. She knew they were all waiting for her in the throne room.
As she entered she smiled at the sight. Jasper was surrounded by the cubs again. Eyeball was sitting in her lap as she told them yet another story. How she attracted kids was a marvel to even her. Lapis, Jasper's slave, was trying to pay attention to whatever Peridot was trying to explain to her about her newest art piece. The little beta was excited and bouncing around as usual and the omega looked as if she was going to fall asleep. Amethyst, Peridots, slave was looking over a whip that Opal, Sugilites slave, was showing her. Probably something the beta had made at the other beta's request. Opal was her best forger in the kingdom. Then there was Sugilite who was helping Connie, one of Stevonnie's slaves, with her sword stance. The beta has always looked up to the huge alpha. Sugilite was the Lieutenant of her army. Stevonnie was by the patio doors reading a another one of her books. Her love of books kept the royal library filled. Her parents were on the floor pillows wrapped up into each other as usual. She rolled her eyes at the two of them. She stopped from walking into the room farther. The only one she hadn't seen was Steven, Stevonnie's other slave, which could only mean one thing.
"Steven Bomb!" Steven yelled as he dropped from the ceiling. Garnet stepped back so she could catch him in her arms. "Aww man! I was sure that I was going to get you this time." Steven said as he pouted.
Garnet laughed at the pup as she went and sat on the pillow pile. "Next time cutie pie for sure." Garnet nodded as the beta got comfortable in her lap.
"Garnet!" Connie squealed as she gave her sword to Sugilite before running over to her.
Garnet smiled as both the little kids nuzzled her. She already knows that they think of her as their sire. It was hard not to take them. They are just to adorable.
"What did you do today?" Steven asked gazing at her. She swears she could see stars in his eyes.
"What do you guys think I did today?" Steven went to think about it but Connie jumped right on it.
"Got a slave for yourself!" The little kit said proudly.
Garnet narrowed her eyes and turned to Steven who was already looking down. "Steven." She said calmly waiting for him to look back up. She wanted to cave ass soon as he looked up at her with tears in his eyes but she held strong even as his lip started to quiver. "I'm sure I've told you to stop being a nosey pup. Do I need to get tell Stevonnie?"
"No." He whimpered wiping his eyes. "If I get punished then so will Connie. She doesn't think I should do things alone."
Connie licked the corner of Steven's eye purring making the pup laugh. "It's suppose to be that way."
Garnet nodded her agreement as she smiled at them. Their bond was already so strong. "And yes I did get me a slave today."
"That's good so you don't have to be alone anymore." Steven said and Connie nodded.
"Yeah we want our Queen to be happy." Connie said sternly.
Garnet laughed loudly drawing most of the large rooms attention. "I am happy." Garnet said truthfully. Which she was don't get her wrong she was the Queen and her life was great. But there were times that she wished she had someone to share it with.
"Ok but you could be happier. It's like you smile but it's not big." Steven said with a shrug.
"Are you going to court her?" Connie asked brushing her hair behind her ear.
"I was planning on it." Garnet said thinking back to the way Pearl purred and nuzzled into her neck while she was sleeping. She shuddered remembering the puffs of hot air that washed over her neck as Pearl breathed.
"Oh when are you going to start!" Steven said excited as he cupped her cheeks.
"Well I'm bringing her dinner." Garnet mumbled through her squashed cheeks.
"Hmm what kind of were is she? Is she a alpha. beta, or omega?" Connie popped off as she thought of things.
"I know she's a feline but I do not know which type and she is an omega." Garnet said curious as to what they had in mind.
"Ok well raw shrimp and beef strips with rice and veges. We felines have sensitive tongues so you should go with tea and water." Connie said happy with what she came up with.
"You should listen to what she says Garnet! She's usually right." Steven added in when Garnet hiked a eyebrow.
Garnet sighed. "Alright I'll trust you guys."
They beamed at her and high fived. "She'll be yours in know time." They said together falling into a fit of giggles.
The Queen walked into her room and smiled at the sight that awaited her. Pearl was curled around her pillow still sleeping. She put the food tray down on the bed.
"Pearl." She said softly as she gently shook her awake. Pearl groaned as she came to and Garnet laughed.
"Don't laugh at me." Pearl mumbled as she rubbed her eye.
Garnet laughed some more just to see her pout. She leaned over her hooking her finger through the ring on Pearl's collar and pulled her up kissing her forehead. "Can you sit up for me?" She asked smiling at her slaves blushing face.
Pearl nodded and adjusted the pillows so she could lean against the head board. She saw Garnet get the tray and sit back down beside her. "What's all this?" She asked looking at all the food. Her stomach growled and she realized she hadn't eaten since that morning.
"Our dinner." Garnet said as she placed the tray in front of them. "I eat a lot but I didn't know how much you would eat."
Pearl sniffed the air and smiled. "Is that raspberry tea?"
"Yeah it's the only tea I could find when I was fixing the tray." Garnet said as she poured Pearl a cup.
"You cooked all this?" Pearl asked impressed.
"No." Garnet said slightly embarrassed. "I'm afraid I can't cook. I had asked my servants to whip this up for us."
Pearl laughed taking a sip from her cup. "That's okay I like to cook from time to time."
"Well we must get in the kitchen together sometime." Garnet said picking up a shrimp and bringing it to Pearls lips.
"Um?" Pearl stuttered as she blushed.
"I want to feed you." Garnet said starring at Pearl's lips.
Pearl sighed as she opened her mouth. She hummed as she started chewing. "Good?" Garnet smiled when Pearl happily nodded.
Pearl continued to let the Queen feed her but after a while she started to noticed she was the only one eat. She gently grabbed Garnet's wrist stilling her motions. "You're not eating?"
Garnet shrugged. "I'll eat when you're done."
"But aren't you hungry? And I've eaten quite a lot." Pearl said looking down at the tray.
"I'm hungry but I can wait till your full. That only means next time there needs to be more food." Garnet said going back to feed Pearl. Pearl knew what Garnet was doing but she didn't think the Queen did. Alpha's had a need to make sure omegas ate their full so they good be healthy and strong.
"I'm full now." Pearl said rubbing her full stomach. Garnet smile widen as she looked down at Pearls stomach happy to see she had feed her well. "You can go shower and I'll put some clothes out for you." Garnet said wiping her hands.
Pearl nodded and went to leave but Garnet pulled her back. The Queen grabbed her jaw and she started to lick her face. Pearl knew it was just a way to clean it but she couldn't help but blush at the intimate act. "Sorry you can go now." Garnet said licking her lips.
Pearl fidgeted with her fingers as she stood there trying to make up her mind. After coming to a decision she leaned down and nuzzled her cheek on Garnet's cheek. Nipping at her jaw as she pulled away. "Thank you Garnet." Pearl said biting her lip as she walked away.
Garnet sat there as she rubbed the spots on her face that Pearl touched. She smiled as she started to eat her now cold dinner. She didn't care as long as Pearl was happy.
