A Duty
Sirius followed the unicorn as it led him towards the cave. His eyes scoured the ground as he searched for the knights that had gone missing when they had searched for the cave, but there were none to be seen. He wondered what had happened to them.
The unicorn led him to the mouth of a cave and Sirius glanced inside, a little nervous. The unicorn continued to hover, protective of the Omega, but Sirius wasn't going to back down. His kingdom had a dragon problem and he needed to solve what his knights couldn't.
Pushing down his fear, he walked into the cave, ready to fight.
...oOo...
"You shouldn't be here," a man said, rushing over. Sirius stepped back, just as the scent of Alpha and Mine hit him with force. "You need to leave. Now."
Sirius shook his head, stepping forward again, causing the man to halt. He took a moment to admire the Alpha that he had quickly determined was his, his eyes raking over the unusual amber eyes and moving to the dark blond hair falling into his eyes and lips that he wanted to touch.
"The dragon of this cave is causing havoc to my kingdom. I need to protect them."
"I can't let you hurt my dragon," the Alpha said, blocking the way.
"I have no choice."
"There's always a choice. My dragon likes treasure. He's not out to hurt people. Accidents happen, he doesn't mean—"
"And he can't steal treasure from others," Sirius insisted. "He set a cottage on fire. The family barely made it out. A young girl was burnt."
The handsome Alpha sighed. "I know, but I have a duty."
Sirius grinned. "Well, there's got to be a way to both get what we want."
...oOo...
Sirius stared at the dragon as it walked around the underground treasure chamber of the castle, taking in the treasures that filled the room.
"I'll need to get in here sometimes."
"He understands that," the Alpha — Remus — said. "He knows the treasure is yours and he's guarding it for you."
Sirius nodded. "What type of dragon is he?"
"Common Welsh. He's from my homeland."
"Fine. Now… you're relieved of your duty, right?"
"No. I have to watch over the dragon. My family are dragon keepers. So any children I have will need to protect it."
Sirius smiled. "Well you're more than welcome to stay in the castle. Maybe join me for dinner, mating… whatever feels right."
Remus stared at him before smiling shyly. "Let's start with dinner, shall we?"
