Merlin's eyes snapped open and he stared straight into a mob of golden hair. A loud pain filled scream shot through the room before many more screams were heard. He just whimpered softly and a moment later the body in front of him turned around. Arthur stared him straight in the eyes, looking him concerned up and down. ''Are you okay?''

''Y-yeah, I am fine.'' Merlin answered in return, his voice not steady as he still was shaking lightly.

His heart was pounding loudly in his chest as he looked into those deep blue eyes, the adrenaline of what just happened still running through his veins and it didn't help that his magic was still on high alert. His eyes snapped away from the man looking at him and shifted to the body lying on the ground, a large wound in his chest and blood was streaming rapidly from it, drenching the man's cloths and the ground in the red liquid.

''You shouldn't see that.'' He heard Arthur say as he was pulled back behind the man's body.

It was then that he realized how close the alpha was standing, how he even touched him! Merlin yelped in shock as he stumbled backwards, stumbling against Morgana, who till than had just stood there in shock.

The princess was brought back from her shock and quickly wrapped her arms around Merlin, burying her head in his shoulder. ''Merlin, you saved me!'' She breathed out.

''I... uhh, no I-I didn't do that much, it was Ar-the prince.'' He quickly explained to her as he glanced at Arthur, the prince was looking silently at them.

Morgana looked up and he could see that she wanted to say something, but they were interrupted as the king asked his daughter worriedly. ''Morgana are you alright, my dear, he wasn't able to hurt you, right?''

''No, Merlin saved my life?''

Merlin's eyes widened as the cold eyes of the king fell on top of him, he shivered as he felt those strong hormones rush towards him. ''You boy, I saw you using magic, did you save my daughter?''

''N-no, I mean, I did use magic in order to defend her, but it was prince Arthur that killed the man and I...'' He felt silent, turning his eyes to the ground.

''Even so that does not change the fact that you saved her.'' He heard the king's words and he felt forced to look up. ''You're one of Morgana's advisors, aren't you?'' He gave the king a small nod. ''A sorcerer so close to my daughter, tell me boy, are you truly loyal to my daughter?''

''I am, I-I would rather die than let anyone hurt her.'' He said truthfully. He glanced at Morgana, who looked fondly at him as she heard his words.

''Good.'' Uther stated as he gave the omega one last look before he turned to look at his son. ''Arthur, I want you to take charge of the guards, double the watch tonight and make sure that Morgana is guarded by one of your best from today forwards.''

''I will.'' The prince said as he heard the order. Merlin glanced at the prince, feeling a slight blush burn his skin. It was then that Arthur also looked his way, their eyes locking and he felt his heart skip a beat as he saw those gentle eyes. Arthur gave him a slight nod as he said. ''Thank you for saving my sister.'' And with that he walked away while ordering the guards and knights in the room to follow him.

Merlin was walking next to Morgana, his eyes rested on the ground just in front of his feet. He could hear the loud footsteps of the knight that walked behind them. The king had ordered him to watch over his daughter and to protect her. He glanced quickly behind him, watching the alpha, which he had learned was named sir Percival. The man was rather silent, but also really nice and kind and Merlin had rather quickly gotten used to him, far quicker than he had expected. It had only been one day since the attack and the whole castle was still in quite the uproar of what had happened.

He looked up when he heard the sound of metal meeting metal and he noticed how close they were to the knight's training field. Once he had made this realization he noticed the strong smell of alpha hormones and he glanced at his princess. ''Morgana, were are we going?''

The dark haired princess looked at him with a smirk on her face. ''After all of this tension I believe we need something to enjoy, don't you think?'' She grabbed his arm and almost dragged him towards the training field.

His eyes widened as he saw the knights, all with bare chests, as they swung their swords. A deep red coloured his cheeks. ''See someone you like?'' He quickly shook his head and she just laughed at him.

Arthur was swinging his sword towards Gwaine, the knight was barely able to lift his sword to defend himself, though Arthur had made sure to hold himself back, he didn't want to hurt one of his knights after all. His sword slammed into that of Gwaine and the brunette stumbled backwards, tripping over his own legs and falling down to the ground. ''Oh come on Gwaine, that wasn't that hard!''

Deer brown eyes glared up at him. ''Of course princess, I'm just overacting and all!'' The knight made his way back to his feet. Though once he stood on his feet again, Arthur saw how he blinked and Gwaine quickly straightened his armor and took a rather seductive stand. The brunette knight laughed at someone behind Arthur's back and made a small bow.

Arthur turned around and rolled his eyes as he saw towards who his knight bowed. At the edge of the training field stood Morgana, together with one of her advisors... He watched the raven boy and could feel a small blush rush over his cheeks. He remembered the courage that the boy had shown in order to protect his sister, the power that he possessed, something that was rather abnormal for an omega, but he himself couldn't help but find it rather attracting. That and that slender body, that raven black hair and those deep blue eyes. He had felt almost in trance when he had looked at them the day before. He quickly looked away, he shouldn't be thinking like that, he knew that the boy was only sixteen years old.

''Quite the beauties I have to say, wouldn't mind having them in my bed.'' Gwaine said as he leaned on Arthur, smiling broadly at the two omegas watching them.

Arthur felt a shiver run down his spine, how dared he! ''Don't you talk about them like that!'' He hissed and the brunette just laughed in response.

By now the other knights had also noticed the two omegas watching them and Arthur could hear them whistle. He immediately shot the knights a dark glare, they stopped with their flirting, but he could still see them looking with lust at the two unbound omegas. A low growl left his lips, his instincts told him to go and claim an available mate, especially with those prowling eyes, but he knew he couldn't. He was a noble man after all and would treat any omega with respect.

He tried to get the knights back to training, but it was clear that they were far too worked up by the two unbound omegas near them, damn that stupid sister of his, as he knew it was her idea to come to the training ground, she did it often as child after all. ''Take a break!'' He shouted as he knew they would probably only hurt each other in order to impress, he could already smell the increase of alpha hormones in the air.

He let out a frustrated growl before he walked to the bench, snatching the goblet of water out of his manservant's hands. He turned to look at his side as someone walked up to him and he stared straight into the face of Leon. ''Sire.''

''Sir Leon.'' He acknowledged him.

''The men are all rather worked up, aren't they?'' The knight said before he turned to look at the two omegas. Arthur followed his gaze. Morgana was rather clearly enjoying the attention she got from the alpha knights, though he could also see how Merlin was sitting slightly curled up into himself, a deep red blush spread over his cheeks, he was clearly feeling rather nervous. ''I have to say, Morgana has grown up to become a rather beautiful woman.'' Leone said as his gaze lay upon the princess. He then turned to look at his prince, who was staring a bit shocked at his knight and he quickly said. ''Uhmm... I mean... you know... that she will probably impress the other kingdoms with her beauty.''

''Hmm... Guess you're right about that.'' He said, though he wasn't quite sure he liked the expression that Leon was giving his sister.
