Chapter 14
"I- Is he gonna ba ok?" Clarke asked worriedly.
"I don't know, probably not. We've given him the best chances for now that he can sleep off the worst of it , but the minute he wakes up he will probably go back into shock… omegas who lose their alphas just don't have a high survival rate." Lexa admitted.
"Ilian." Clarke hugged the unconscious omega.
"And you! I thought I ordered you and the other of the thirteen champions to watch over Clarke and Raven! How could you let them leave that room where they were the safest!" Lexa turned screaming at Bellamy.
"Oh please Heda… You know Clarke, she has her way of getting her way despite what anyone else wants." Bellamy countered.
"You have a point." Lena agreed. "But you are on thin ice champion!"
"Nothing new." Bellamy groaned.
"Thank the three of you for keeping her safe as she made her way here." Lexa thanked, kneeling back down and resting a hand on Clarke's back supportively.
"Thanks Lexa." Clarke turned around to hug her alpha ,guilty for the feeling , but thoroughly relieved that she still had her alpha unlike Ilian.
"I love you Clarke." Lexa hugged back. "Raven , Octavia. Thank you. You two are free to adjourn to your room. I would prefer if Skai Kru members stayed off the streets of polis until everything has calmed down. I know this is asking too much of you and that you two can handle yourselves… I just would feel more comfortable if there were less open targets."
"That's completely reasonable my Heda. Thank you." Octavia bowed.
"I will see you later Clarke." Raven hugged Clarke from behind , knowing how startled the events of the day had left Clarke. "He will be ok, he has a strong spirit. His fight is not over."
"You two are free to stay in the tower as long as you like. If you wish to move here permanently I wouldn't mind Clarke having friends close." Lexa offered.
"Thank you Lexa." Octavia thanked before she and Raven headed off back to their room.
"Bellamy, take him to the healing ward, and send for Kane to speak with me. Tell him I will be waiting with my omega in my quarters." Lexa ordered.
"Yes my heda." Bellamy nodded picking Ilian up.
"Wait!" Clarke jumped to her feet and brushed a hand through Ilian's hair before whispering in his ear "Ste yuj."
"See you around Clarke." Bellamy spoke softly as he headed off in his task.
"Are you ok? You Didn't get hurt in your fight did you?" Clarke asked turning back to see Lexa.
"I'm fine. Ilian's alpha fought like he was already broken, and he is the only one of the other clan leaders which is really a match for me… was." Lexa lemanted.
"How well did you know him?" Clarke asked realizing how much pain Lexa was in.
"He was in a neighboring clan, I spoke with him frequently when we were young. He was a friend… that's why it was such a surprise when he challenged me days ago. I wish I hadn't had to , but he wouldn't step down, he just kept fighting." Lexa whispered as she hugged her omega, slowly leaning on Clarke more and more for support.
"I'm so sorry." Clarke whispered , feeling the walls Lexa had put up to block out her own emotions break down as Lexa became overwhelmed with regret for killing her friend, and taking away an alpha from his omega.
"I've killed them both Clarke. Omegas almost never live through losing their alpha…. I killed them both." Lexa cried into Clarke's shoulder.
"It will be ok." Clarke whispered , tears in her eyes as as Lexa's sorrow pushed through the bond and threatened to overwhelm her. Clarke fought the sorrow desperately knowing that she had to be strong for her bonded mate. Clarke had never intentionally controlled her scent before , but she knew this was th3e time where it would be the most helpful, so she attempted her best to emit the same calming pheromones Lexa had given off for her benefit dozens of times already.
Lexa sniffled as the tears began to dry in her eyes and Clarke's scent wrapped around her , encompassing her mind , pushing out every bad thought Lexa had ever had ; forcing her to forget and focus on her lover. "Clarke." Lexa whispered as tears of sorrow turned to those of relief.
"I think we should sit down here and rest for a moment Lexa." Clarke suggested.
"Of course." Lexa submitted to the comfort that was her hodnes as they both slumped down to the ground where Clarke sat down and offered her lap to Lexa as a offering of love and comfort.
"Everything will be ok my hodnes." Clarke knew the power the word had over Lexa , and she used it perfectly to calm the alpha even further.
Lexa had never felt such inner peace, all the more shocking when she considered all the turmoil her life had been as of late. Fighting every day since the mountain to ensure that Clarke's people could safely enter the coalition had truly taken its toll on even this battle tested alpha. And now capped with having to murder two of her friends due to outside forces , the attempt on her omega's life, titus turning on her, learning that titus had done this before. Just the fact that she knew Titus still breathed would have been enough for her to want to burn it all down to the ground, killing everything in her path to get revenge on Costia and for his attempt at Clarke, but the scent that Clarke pumped out seemingly effortlessly blocked all the anger , hatred , sorrow, and everything else from her mind as her inner alpha seemingly got the first chance to rest; lay down and sleep as she was calmed by her loving omega since Costia had died. "Clarke?"
"Yes my beautiful , strong , perfect hodnes?" Clarke cooed brushing a hand against Lexa's cheek, wiping away some of the blood that the ruthless alpha had acquired through her confrontations of the day.
"I love you so much." Lexa whispered as she rubbed her head against Clarke , as satiated as an alpha could ever possibly be , now that her mate rested with her, caressing her gently.
"That's it my beautiful alpha, just relax." Clarke whispered softly as Lexa fell asleep , exhausted from her long day.
Lexa stirred a couple hours later from her nap to smell Clarke still emitting the calming scent , but it was distinctly laced with Clarke's need for relief from her heat that burned her core as the alpha lied sleeping in her lap unable to satiate her for hours.
"Fuck how long was I out?" Lexa groaned.
"Just a couple hours." Clarke assured.
"Did Bellamy or Kane come by? I ordered him to meet me in my room." Lexa asked.
"I remember , i was there when you ordered him to. No they didn't , he is probably waiting outside of our chambers." Clarke reasoned.
"Fuck we must go meet with him. That reaper stick will wear off soon, and without your mother we almost certainly won't be able to save Ilian." Lexa groaned.
"Shhh." Clarke calmed pressing Lexa's head back down into her lap. "Rest, or at least relax."
"There's no time to rest Clarke." Lexa countered.
"Then just relax." Clark ordered increasing the strength of her calming pheromones which she had been learning to utilize for the past two hours as every time she strengthened them Lexa cooed adorably in her sleep, and Clarke just couldn't stop herself.
"Mhmm someone got really good at that in the past couple hours!" Lexa couldn't help but relax slightly as she rested her head back in Clarke's lap.
"Hehe yeah. I got some practice in while you slept." Clarke agreed.
"I love you." Lexa swooned into Clarke's scent.
"I love you too." Clarke assured. "Do you think you can get up while still being somewhat relaxed?"
"No, but I can try." Lexa offered.
"Thats enough for me." Clarke smiled as she helped Lexa up and strengthened her scent once again.
"Mhmm you smell nice." Lexa hummed happily as she stood up and planted her nose against Clarke's scent gland, completely lost to her inner alpha which wanted nothing more than to rest in the crooke of Clarke's neck and enjoy the heavenly scent.
"That's it my alpha." Clarke hugged the alpha tight.
"Mhmm." Lexa lapped at the scent gland needily, needing more and more of Clarke's scent in any way she could get it.
"Fuck! Lexaa!" Clarke moaned wantonly as the blacks of her eyes grew impossibly, Lexa's teasing at her scent gland driving her need mad.
"Mhmm even better!" Lexa moaned as Clarke's scent changed wildly from calming to need. Lexa couldn't help but pin the omega against the wall behind her , desperately rutting against her. Lexa then bit at the scent gland painfully as it released even more pheromones both in and out of Clarke.
"What the hell was that!" Clarke screamed in the pain of her exponentially growing heat.
"Grr do you like it?" Lexa growled biting slightly harder.
"Fuck its amazing, but it hurts and we have work to do!" Clarke tried to fight her arousal.
"Are you sure you don't want it right here and now?" Lexa asked releasing her bite , lifting up Clarke's thighs and pinning Clarke against the wall as she rutted against Clarke's slit through their clothing.
"Mhmm fuck! I'm so sorry Lexa , but we need to help Ilian!" Clarke pushed Lexa off of her.
"Mmmph." Lexa whimpered needily.
Clarke did her best to resume emitting the calming scent but controlling her scent was still new to her , and it was hard to deafen the scent of arousal and need. "Please, once we help him I will happily submit to you? You can do anything you want to me and I will be your obedient omega, I promise." Clarke offered.
Lexa looked like a kid on Christmas at the offer as she began nodding her head eagerly. "Ok so what now!" Lexa smiled eager to get back to their bedroom and dominate Clarke like she had suggested.
"First I wanna grab him his old collar and chains. I know that he did whatever that was , but I think he would want them… if anything happened to you I would want my chains, and we might want a swatch of his clothes, or Better yet does Ilian have a mat in the assembly hall?" Clarke suggested.
"That makes sense. And he revoked him as his alpha." Lexa replied.
"That's a thing omegas can do?" Clarke asked as they headed back to the assembly hall.
"Of course, it is to ensure that if any omega is being abused they can leave safely. It must be done in front of an audience, whether it be the coalition like that , or just around friends or people in the local village. If any omega would rather be without their alpha they are entirely within their rights to leave no matter what. Omegas are always allowed to leave for any reason. It's a matter of safety." Lexa explained.
"But why would an omega want to leave an alpha?" Clarke asked honestly perplexed.
"Well in Elian's case it was because he couldn't stand losing his alpha like that. And he was willing to do anything it took to try to save his alpha. In other cases it's for if the omega is being abused or if someone is unhealthy about the dynamic." Lexa explained.
"Can alpha's get their omega back?" Clarke asked.
"It's rare… If an omega is pushed to the point that they would renounce their alpha like that, it's normally pretty bad. Due to the nature of bonds it is rather rare that alpha's become abusive. Whenever an alpha hurts their omega it hurts them too. So for an alpha to push their omega to that breaking point , it means that the alpha was so horrible that they cared more about the thing that hurt or pushed their omega away than they care about their omega and the pain that they felt through the bond…" Lexa explained.
"Gotcha." Clarke nodded processing everything she had just learned as they entered the coalition meeting hall and she grabbed Ian's old chain and collar while Lexa grabbed his mat which was still scented with his alpha's scent.
"It's gonna be ok Clarke, we will find a way to help him." Lexa comforted.
"I love you Lexa." Clarke found the calming scent that she had been emitting earlier again.
"Mhmm I love that so much!" Lexa hummed sniffing at her omega's delightful scent.
"Off to find Bellamy?" Clarke asked.
"Yup." Lexa agreed.
They quickly found Bellamy and Kane waiting outside. The distraught beta pacing back and forth awaiting his Heda as Kane sat patiently in the corner with a satisfied look.
"Bel!" Clarke smiled and waved at her friend.
"Where the hell have you two been!" Bellamy griped.
"Back off Bel! It doesn't matter." Clarke countered too angry.
"Whatever." Bellamy dismissed.
"My Heda, what is it that you needed me for?" Kane asked making his way to his feet.
Lexa sniffed. "I take it Abigail's heat broke?" Lexa smiled.
" Yeah, just long enough for she and I to talk … and well you can smell the bond can't you?" Kane smiled happily.
"Thank God, we need Abby." Lexa sighed in relief.
"Well she is sleeping now, Bellamy kinda interrupted at an inopportune moment and Abby was tired from the knotting." Kane scratched behind his head half shyly half overtaken by his alpha pride.
"Eww! Kane I totally didn't need to know that!" Clarke praised. "Fuck wait yes I did!" Clarke smiled eagerly as an idea formed.
"Sorry?" Kane tilted his head inquisitive.
"Kane! Was my mom bonded to my dad?" Clarke asked.
"No, no one on the arc was allowed to bond. Why?" Kane replied.
"I, I just have an idea, we need to talk to my mom, she knows more about omegas than I do." Clarke replied.
"Grr, leave my omega to sleep!" Kane barked instinctively.
"Kane if you wish to keep your head you will never bark at my omega like that again." Lexa commanded.
"Sorry , still getting used to having an omega and I really wanna protect her." Kane apologized.
"Don't let it happen again." Lexa snarked.
"Oh chill Lexa, like you wouldn't do the same for me." Clarke kissed Lexa on the cheek lovingly.
"Hmph!" Lexa huffed.
"Shh silly alpha, let's go see my mom." Clarke teased.
"Huh! Kane! Where are you! Alpha!" Abby cried distraught as she woke up without her bonded mate.
"Mom it's me!" Clarke got Abby's attention.
"Where's Kane! " Abby whined.
"I'm right here girl." Kane comforted.
"Alpha!" Abby cooed latching onto Kane.
"Mom we need you!" Clarke yelled.
"Oh my pup!" Abby turned and grabbed Clarke.
"Hehe hey Mom." Clarke hugged her mother back.
"What does my pup need?" Abby asked wanting to help her daughter.
"Do you know what happens to omegas that loose their alpha?" Clarke asked.
"Yeah, I've read about it.. it's terrible." Abby's face contorted in a grim expression.
"How can we save an omega that lost his alpha?" Clarke asked.
"I-i" Abby stammered unsure.
"Would giving him one of our suppressant implants help?" Clarke suggested.
"Yeah , it would. Until it wears off. We have a couple left in the med bay at Arcadia." Abby replied.
"Great, Kane can you go off and get the implant from Arcadia?" Clarke requested.
"Yeah sure."
"Good, does anyone have any more reaper sticks?" Clarke requested.
Bellamy and Kane both handed one to Clarke. "Thanks this works."
"See you guys when I get back from Arcadia." Kane waved.
"Hell no, I'm coming with!"
"No my omega should get rest!" Kane ordered.
"Kane I'm coming with you both because I am the only one who knows what the implants look like , and because I need my alpha right now!" Abby argued.
"Fine, come on Abby."
"Yay!"
Clarke and Lexa payed Ilian a visit. They didn't get to talk to him because he was still out and he needed to stay out for his own safety. Clarke left him his chains , collar, mat, and a swatch of his alpha's clothes. Hoping that if he did wake the remnants of his alpha would comfort him.
"He will be ok Clarke. He will be ok." Lexa comforted.
"I hope so." Clarke nodded.
"You will be ok too."
"I know. I love you Lexa."Clarke hugged her alpha.
"I love you too."
"I believe I owe you an evening of total submission!" Clarke smiled.

good chapter, glad Lexa is ok…

Hedalexafeva on Clarke's first heatLol Clarke's so nonchalant about walking in on Lexa just murdering a couple peeps you know, normally day in the life of Polis lol.
Crazy thing is what happened to Illians alpha, Lexa would do the exact same thing in a heartbeat for Clarke if she was in that position & so would Clarke. Even Rae & O.
From Jessica: Haha yeah they all totally would. And like Clarke knew that she had been challenged. If anything Clarke would have been like Oh dop[e Lexa killed one of the challengers ! That's one less person trying to kill my alpha
