Notes: So I was able to write this and get it up but I'll be super busy this week so I really don't know when I can post but I'll be writing when I can!
Thanks for the support and kind remarks!
Again never owned these characters...
Enjoy :)

Arthur led everyone into the smaller personal dining room where Leon, Percival, Gwaine, and Elyan were waiting. They all sat and Gwaine took the spot directly next to Merlin.
Arthur growled as the knight kept leaning in to Merlin's space. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Merlin smells particularly delicious tonight," Gwaine says and then covered his mouth.

Arthur saw red. How dare one of his knights try to take Merlin as his own. He could feel the omega trying to calm him but all he could think of was tearing Gwaine apart in single combat.

Percival interrupted his thoughts, "Sire, I don't think Gwaine means that he wants Merlin, but more of the scent that Merlin carries along with his own."

Arthur took a breath, he turned to his omega to see if his claim held any truth. "Merlin, were there any new omegas presented today?"

Merlin nodded still pulling grass and flowers from the fur of his tail, "Elena and Freya from Esstir. "

He turned back to the two knights, "And have you found Merlin's scent this appealing before?"

Gwaine and Percival both shook their heads and the bulkier knight answered, "No more than any other omega."

Arthur calmed considerably and then turned back to his mate, "Could you set up a meeting between Sirs Gwaine and Percival and the two new omegas?"

Merlin nodded, "Of course. I can introduce them tonight after supper."

Arthur nodded, "I'll leave you to it then."

The servants brought out the food and everyone began to eat. He watched as Merlin ate small pieces of chicken and roasted vegetables. He felt happiness and love as he watched him look happy and healthy. The omega seemed to be getting into his element and it just took him gaining responsibility of the kingdom and their wedding.

Arthur knew that Merlin had easily stepped into his roll as compassionate balancing piece twice today and he knew that their bonding would be healthy for Camelot. Merlin had been able to pull him out of a rage and it made Arthur's heart burst with pride. He knew that their bond had been strengthened by their marriage and he could definitely feel it now. Merlin's compassion, love, and understanding had been with him all day. He hoped that he had be able to offer the omega his own strengths.

Supper was finished and Merlin looked towards him, "What room would be good for the meeting?"

"One of the servant rooms, then you may offer it to them if there is a match made. Also see what the new omegas would like to do, as their job in the castle," he replied.

Merlin nodded, "Could you wait up?"

"Of course, any particular reason why?" he looked a Merlin curiously.

"There was something brought up this afternoon and I'd like to discuss it with you," he said giving him a peck on the lips.

"Merlin," he said giving a warning. He hoped that what ever happened it wasn't too bad.

Merlin cocked his head at him, "I promise you that it is nothing bad, just an idea I'd like to implement but I need your input."

Arthur nodded, "Okay, go prepare the omegas and I'll send in the two knights in later."

Merlin walked away and he turned to the two waiting knights, "Merlin is preparing them and you may go to meet the two new omegas soon. Do try to be on your best behavior," he said glaring at Gwaine.

"I have been presented with Omegas before sire," the knight said pushing his hair back.

"Yes but Merlin is there now and I'm trusting you to treat him and the new ladies correctly. That means no lewd comments Gwaine, I will speak with my omega afterwards," he said looking at them.

"Of course my lord, thank you for the opportunity," Percival said bowing his head.

Arthur went to leave, "I wish you both luck and hope that you find happiness."

The King walked to his chambers and looked over the documents for the upcoming tournament. There was a knock at the door and he called for them to enter.

Lancelot walked in and bowed in reverence, "My lord, I will need to ask for tomorrow and until Gwen's heat ends off of my duties. Gaius believes that she shall enter into it soon astomorrow morning."

Arthur smiled, "Congratulations, will you be needing some where to stay?"

Lancelot shook his head blushing, "No Gwen is already building her nest in her families old house and Elyan has moved into the barracks officially."

Arthur stood up and slapped the knight on the back, "Don't worry about anything here. We shall carry on until your return and the other maids can look after Morgana."

Lancelot smiled, "Thank you my Lord." He turned and left the alpha king alone with his thoughts, hoping that Melin truly had everything handled.

Merlin went to one of the spare rooms that were reserved for servants who didn't have any other living arrangements. He asked a passing servant to fetch him Elena and Freya and soon the two omegas were there. Elena's blonde ears were much smaller than his but still there and Freya's brunette ones looked larger than his, if that was even possible.

"Welcome again to Camelot," Merlin said warmly.

Freya ran up and hugged close to his side, "Thank you King Merlin!"

Merlin laughed, "Don't call me that! I'm just Merlin."

Freya looked like she was going to burst into tears.

Merlin's face fell, "Or you can if you want." He really didn't want her to but if it made her feel better then, he wasn't going to stop her.

He led them over to the table and they all sat down. "Arthur and I would like to offer you a job here in the citadel, but we'd also like you to be happy. So what do you like to do?"

Elena spoke first, "I love horses! I can ride and groom and take care of them!" Her eyes lit up and Merlin knew that he would find her a place in the stables. Where hopefully she could keep her annoyingly perky attitude away most of the time.

Freya held on to his arm still and snuggled into his shoulder. He couldn't help feeling sorry for her, she was so tiny and frail. She looked up into his eyes and said, "I will be happy wherever you can use me."

"Oh hush Freya! She is good with a needle and thread, used to make all of my dresses," Elena said popping cheese from the platter that the servants had just brought in into her mouth.

Merlin wrinkled his nose in disgust and then schooled his face exactly how he had seen his alpha do so many times before. He threw on a smile, "We'll find something for you two. But first two of the alpha knights would like to meet you."

Elena smiled and squealed, "A presentation so soon?"

Merlin was about to reply when the two knights entered. Gwaine sauntered in with Percival behind him shaking his head. Morgana had told Merlin how to proceed through this.

"Sir Gwaine and Sir Percival may I present Elena and Freya," he said trying to channel his alpha's royal voice. It felt all wrong and he was sure he sounded like a prat.

Gwaine seemed drawn to Elaina and soon the were making out on the bed. Merlin rolled his eyes and looked over at Freya who was still attached to his arm. Percival had attained Elena's unoccupied chair and sat there just trying to get Freya to look at him.

Merlin whispered into her ear, "Percy is very nice, Freya. Why don't you go to sit and get to know him?"

She nodded and then sunk into the chair next to the large knight. Percy smiled and talked softly with her.

Merlin was pretty sure Gwaine and Elena would take this room so he went to the room across the hall and made sure it was habitable. He quickly lit the candles with a click of his fingers. He came back and found Freya curled up on Percival's lap and Elena and Gwaine snuggled in the bed.

"I have a room ready for you both across the hall," the omega said.

Percival nodded giving Freya the look that he saw on Arthur's face when he looked at him. He went to move her and Merlin stopped them at the door, "I'm happy for all of you. Having such a bond is wonderful and I really don't want an omega to ge through their heats alone. I hope you all are as happy as Arthur and I."

"I don't know about Gwaine but he seems smitten, he never just sleeps with a girl. And me, I just want to protect Freya. She's so tiny." He said as the other omega mewed in his arms.

Merlin nodded and then extinguished the candles with a flick of his wrist as he left the room. He watched the other door close and then went to find his own alpha.

He found Arthur sleeping on the desk and he went over and kissed him on the cheek rousing him.

"Come on you cabbage head, time for bed," Merlin said lifting his arms around his shoulder.

Arthur pushed him away stretching, "No you wanted to discuss something and I want to know how everything went." He went to hug him, "Ugh go change first, your scent is all wrong!"

Merlin pushed him over and then went to change out of his stuffy clothes. He went back to the desk and Arthur pulled him into his lap.

"Much better," he said kissing over one of the marks on his neck. "Now, what do you want to talk about?"

Merlin blushed under the intense gaze and cleared his throat and blurted out, "Could we hold mating balls here in Camelot? Where alphas and omegas come here for a huge party and maybe a tournament and then they can all meet each other and bonding pairs can be completed."

Arthur looked at him and then smiled, "Merlin you surprise me! That is a great idea! We could use it for the upcoming tournament. Can you write out invitations tomorrow?"

Merlin nodded and then snuggled close to his chest. Arthur purred and then asked, "So by the smell of you, I guess tonight's presentation went well."

"Yes, Percival and Freya are a bonded pair and we are pretty sure Gwaine and Elena are as well. Which will cause more tensions among the omegas and hopefully this mating ball idea will calm them. They were high today over just our mating and I hoped that this idea would calm everything back down."

Arthur carried him to the bed and then kissed his neck again, "Merlin please tell me if things get out of hand. I don't want you hurting," he whispered against the skin there.

Merlin mewled in frustration ignoring the semi-demand, "I swear you mark me again and I'm leaving!"

Arthur smiled, "No you won't!"

He thumped the alpha with his tail and decided to concede to just lying there and letting Arthur have his way with him.
