The week drags on but Alfred let's his mind wander, trying to ignore everything around him. Even as the Avian perches just out of sight above the window he can't help but feel restless. Behind his head rests the dagger, waiting for the Queen who should be coming within a day or two. "I can do this." He whispers to the night air. It's something Gilbert's trained him in, to take a life if he has to.

"Do you want me to come in?"

Alfred looks over towards the window. "Give it another hour than yeah." He manages a smile, feeling some of his tension melt away at the thought of cuddling with the Alpha. "Do you think she knows something's up?"

"With any luck no." The Avian presses his finger to his lips as his eyes dart to the door. Quickly he moves away from the window and just out of sight yet again.

Inhaling slowly Alfred turns towards who should be his female mate only to find someone new. "Xia?"

"Hello Alfred," the female Omega says with a warm smile. "I thought I'd come see you tonight." Her smile does little to mask the evil intent in her eyes. "I hope you don't mind."

His legs are still bond but it doesn't stop him from trying to flinch away from her touch. "I don't but what are you doing here?"

A smile grows on her face as she sits beside him. "Well dear I know a few things."

"Like?" A chill runs down his spine but Alfred doesn't dare look towards the window.

Xia lets out a hum, while she plays with a strand of her hair. "Like that you don't love your little mate. In fact I'm right and I know you are. You're like the rest of us and hate her."

"Wow you could have fooled me." Alfred smirks, knowing to play along with whatever the woman is planning. "So does that mean you're going to untie me?"

"Oh now why would I do that?" Xia answers sliding one of her hands over his chest. "Darling you're still caring the heir and we can't just let it go." She stops to pat his stomach gently. "No you or at least it will have to stay once it's born."

Instantly his eyes narrow. "I don't see how your plan is any different from Anya's."

"Omegas in control. You have the heir and I will have you."

He shifts his weight away from her. "Again I don't see how this differs." He can't sit up without giving himself away so it's all he can do for the moment.

Before he can blink she's straddling him with a look of lust in her eyes. "Fine it doesn't. The only real difference is that I control you instead of her." She licks her lips as the smile widens. "In fact I already control everything around her but you." Xia lets out a deep growl as she leans down to Alfred's ear. "Really it's going to be easier if you become my little bitch."

"And if I say no?"

"Oh darling I'm just going to take you,"

"You're an Omega."

"I'm more than you understand child." She hisses looking him deep in the eye. "I've been here from the beginning and I deserve this. You're only here because your kind can actually produce little bastards. You're nothing but a sex toy and once you're use is done I'll make sure you're tossed back to the wolves."

Lovino dares to look down as Alfred leans up to the other omega. "Xia, get out of my room."

"You don't get to make the orders here." She starts to kiss his lips, lust and greed taking hold of her.

He shouldn't but in a flash the dagger is out and into Xia's temple. "And I am not your bitch." With a twist of the knife he shoves her off the bed, leaving her to die in a pool of blood. He stands over her as his mate slides into the room. "Don't say anything, I know she wasn't the right one."

"This can still work just a little change of plans. Xia came in and in a jealous rage killed you and ran." Lovino says soaking Alfred's blankets in the bloody mess before sliding the body towards him. "I'll get rid of her body then come back for you."

"I doubt we have time..." Alfred stops listening at the door. "Someone might have heard her fall."

"So you want to what? Try your hand at walking out the fucking front door?" Lovino wraps Xia's body in another sheet, thankful the Omega is so tiny.

Putting on the clothes that still fit Alfred sighs. "I'll think of something."

"You can't be serious?!"

Taking the knife Alfred rolls his eyes. "We don't have time for this." Alfred pulls the Alpha in for a long kiss, praying it won't be their last. "We'll meet outside of the city gates before the sun comes up. If I'm not there...go get the others."

"Fine," Lovino says sliding the body onto his shoulder. "But I swear to gods you better not fucking die."

"I won't." Alfred opens the door, looking back on last time. "And you better not get caught."

Lovino is already at the window. "Just go," he says before he can change his mind. "I'll see you in two hours."

Darting out of the door Alfred is met with near total darkness. It's a strange feeling for the Omega, sensing a trap just around every corner. Soon from behind he feels a strong hand embrace his wrist. "I think...you should come...with me." It mutters in a rough voice. Alfred's ready to whip around with dagger in hand when he hears something familiar.

While the lions can fake a purr what he hears isn't something that can be. "You're a neko?"

The voice answers him again. "Yes."

Alfred slides the dagger back into his belt loop as he takes a step towards the equally taller man. "What's your clan?"

For a moment he doesn't answer, watching the Omega. "It was...Blue Starlight..."

Again it could be a trap but Alfred doesn't have any other choice. "Lead the way."
