Notes:
   Rose has a flashback of the darkest part of her past. Agravaine finds his true mate.
Warnings: smut, gay sex, nightmares

  Adam had lead each member of the Emrys pack to their new houses which just so happened to be those square shaped buildings on either side of the main house. Each mated were was given a house with those they were mated to and the rest would have to share. The storm cellar served as an Omega Den that Adam insisted they use, especially those that were pregnant or unmated.
    He then left them to their own devices, again reminding them about the rings and heat suppressants, as well as adding that they might want to find something different to wear so they didn't draw too much attention to themselves.
    Rose got her pups back from Nyx and took Merlin's arm as he lead her into what would be their new home for the next six or seven months. As they entered the kitchen, she smiled. It reminded her a bit of her home back before she'd met Merlin.
    Speaking of the devil, he slipped up behind her, placing his hands on her hips and pulling her close. He sniffed at her mating bite, licking it gently as he sighed in contentment.
    Turning her around in his arms, he said, "You're mine. Understand?"
    A little smirk formed on her lips. "What's got you possessive all of a sudden?" He growled. "Merl, I'm yours and I'll never not be yours. So whatever's got you jealous, you put it out of your mind. I chose you, remember?"
    His own smirk spread over his face at the memory. True, she did.
    "Good. Now let me remind you why."
    Immediately, his lips were on hers, nipping at her bottom lip as he pulled her closer, his hands moving down to grab at her ass. His lips moved to her neck, licking along the mating bite.   
   His canines extended and he bit over the mark again, reopening the wound.
   Merlin picked her up and set her on the counter. Leaning in, his lips connected with hers once more. Snapping his fingers, they were both naked. His hands began wandering down to her breasts, pinching a nipple, licking across her freshly reopened mating bite before moving his tongue down to dart across one of her nipples.
    He moved his hand down to her thigh. Grabbing it in one hand, he pulled her leg up to drape over one hip. Taking his cock in hand, he positioned himself at her entrance. He rubbed himself against her, making her whimper with need.    
   Finally, he entered her slowly, words of love pouring from his lips. She was his and always would be.
                           * * * * *
    Agravaine had been feeling lonely lately.
   When he was in his early twenties, he met his first mate, Elizabeth. Shortly after, he mated his second mate, Laurel, after fighting and killing her former mate whom had been abusive towards her. In any case, they had both been killed during a turf war some years ago.
    After they died, he'd tracked down his beloved sister, Aithusa. He joined the Emrys pack and had been part of it ever since. When Arthur, Merlin, and Morgana were born, Agravaine had promised that, should anything happen to Kilgharrah and/or Aithusa, he would protect the children as long as he lived.
   He had kept his promise all these years.
   He'd watched the children grow into fine weres. He watched as Merlin grew into a fine Alpha with enormous power. He watched as Arthur found his true mate in Gwen even though Arthur had originally been an oblivious idiot about it. Then Arthur had taken Lance a few years later when Gwen had asked him to.
    Then Merlin had brought Rose home, his true mate, and Agravaine started to feel left out, unwanted and lonely. When Morgana had found her true mate in Cenred, his feelings of loneliness grew. Part of him just wished he could find a mate even though he knew that was highly unlikely at this point in his life.
    After the rescue of the Omegas in the caves, he had somewhat met the newbies to their pack. On the journey to their new home at the farm, he had noticed that Owain had started to gravitate more and more towards him.
    On the morning they arrived at Whispering Pines, the moment he'd been shown to his house, he decided to get some sleep since he felt ridiculously tired. Laying down on a bed for the first time in several years, he burrowed under the blankets and fell asleep.
    He hadn't been asleep long when he was suddenly awoken by the feeling of a warm body next to his. Agravaine rubbed his eyes to find Owain laying next to him, somewhat wrapped in his arms. He felt irritation rise in his throat.
    "What are you doing here, boy?"
    "Laying with my Alpha of course."
    "Oh of course!" Agravaine repeated before what the boy had said sunk in. "Wait. What? I am not your Alpha so put that thought out of your head now!"
    And, of course, the boy had the gall to laugh!
    Agravaine raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What's so funny, boy?"
    "You're blushing!" Owain said, laughing.
    Agravaine was caught off guard and found himself blushing more. Owain rolled over, maneuvering onto his hands and knees, crawling over top of Agravaine, and grinding his pelvis against the older Alpha. Agravaine pulled away, trying to push the Omega off of him.
    "Quit that!" Agravaine growled.
    "I want you." Owain begged, a pout forming on his face.
    A growl escaped Agravaine's lips at that moment. A sudden scent filled the air and his nostrils, the smell of chocolate with a hint of almonds and cherries mixed in. Agravaine lifted his nose into the air, growling again. Owain whimpered, the natural male Omega's lubrication starting to pour from his sweet wet heat. Agravaine's dark eyes lightened to the gold of the wolf.
    "Why do you want me?" he asked, knowing the answer before it was ever even spoken.
    "Because you're my true mate."
    With that answer, Agravaine flipped the boy over, leaning over him. Reaching a hand between them, he tore off the male Omega's clothing, leaving him naked underneath him. He tugged at the young Omega's cock until it hardened under his fingers. With his other hand, he pushed two fingers inside his mate, testing him.
   Agravaine slipped off his pants, making his cock bounce forward. He positioned himself at Owain's entrance and slowly slipped inside. Thrusting shallowly, he grunted from the force it took not to just pound into his beautiful mate.
   He glanced at Owain's neck, seeing the mating bite that marked him as Nimueh's. Another growl sounded in his throat at just imagining that bitch touching what was rightfully his, especially after what he'd heard about how she had treated the other Omegas. The thought of her hurting his mate made him glad that Merlin had already killed her because, had he not, Agravaine would've done it himself, even if it cost him his life.
   His canines extended and he bit over Owain's former mating bite, covering it with his own. Licking the bite, he erased Nimueh's scent from the boy...forever.
    "You are mine now. Don't even think of running off. Understand?"
    Owain's moans of pleasure was answer enough.
                           * * * * *
      Rose had always been an adventurous child. As a pup, she often ran off without any kind of supervision.
   It was like that this morning.
   She had rushed off early that morning, heading down one of her favorite paths in the woods, not giving a second thought to the stern talking to that her father would give her when she got back.
    The woods at this time of the morning were utterly beautiful. The beautiful color of the sunrise, making the world look as if it was on fire, rising over the vibrant green treetops.
    Rose was at the point in her childhood where she was just old enough to shift at will and could run without hurting herself. Shifting into wolf, she ran as fast as her stubby little wolf legs could carry her, her hazel eyes focusing intensely on the path ahead.
    Hours passed and it was nearing noon. She decided it was time to move back towards camp.
    That's when she heard it. Gunshots filled the air, then screams.
    Fear immediately gripped her heart and a bad feeling spread throughout her entire body. Quickly, she rushed back towards camp to find a nightmare.
    Bodies filled the glen and fires had been set all over, burning the forest down. Tears escaped her eyes. Where were her parents?
    She began running through the glen as fast as she could, only to find the body of her father laying on the ground in the center of the glen in a pool of his own blood.
    A scream of agony burst from her lips, turning to a loud howl.
    She turned and rushed back into the woods as she heard footsteps approaching. As she reached higher ground, she looked in the direction of the glen and saw a group of tall human men and a few women. They were the ones who killed her family!
    She growled, starting back towards the camp when a large, muscular black wolf blocked her path. She growled at him and a chuckle sounded from his throat. Without warning, he picked her up in his mouth and turned, hightailing it out of the woods.
    Rose woke up screaming.
    Beside her, Merlin shot straight up and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms. "Shh!" he whispered, holding her between his legs, rocking her gently. "It's ok, love. It was just a nightmare!" She looked at him, tears pouring down her face. He lovingly licked the tears away. "Do you want to talk about it?"
   She shook her head, snapping her hips against his. "Please, make me forget."
   Merlin smiled, maneuvering her under him as he climbed on top of her. Quickly, he thrusted into her sweet, wet heat, making her cry out in pleasure. "As you wish." he whispered before her moans drowned out his words.
                           * * * * *
   Agravaine had promised his precious Omega mate that he would be back soon, covering the boy with a blanket and kissing his forehead lovingly before leaving his house and walking the short path to Merlin's house.
   As he entered, he heard the noises of their mating so made his way to their living room and sat down on the couch to wait for them. A few minutes later, he heard the sound of Merlin growling as he buried his face in his mate's neck.
   He waited a moment more and soon enough, Merlin walked into the room and leaned against the doorway, a self-satisfied smirk on his face. "Hello, Uncle."
    "I apologize for coming on such short notice but there's something you should know." Merlin nodded, encouraging him to continue. "I have...mated Owain."
    He waited to hear what Merlin would say. "Well...that is...surprising to say the least. I remember you said that you wished not to mate again. What has made you change your mind?"
    "He is my true mate." Merlin's eyes widened in surprise. "And he's now in his heat."
    Merlin's eyes narrowed and he let out a breath he'd been holding.    
    "Thank you for telling me. Just know that this will slow down our progress and we'll have to stay longer. I shall have to let Adam know. For now, go back to your mate, Uncle."
    Agravaine nodded and left.
Merlin sighed. They would have to be even more careful now, especially since it was very likely that Owain would become pregnant from this mating. On the other hand, at least Agravaine had his mate and Owain had someone kinder than Nimueh to take care of him.
    He felt arms around him from behind and he calmed under the presence and power of his mate. She always knew how to take care of him.
    "Alpha." she whispered, seductively, running her hands down from his shoulders to his chest. She leaned down and grabbed his cock in her small hands. "I want you." She purred.
   Growling low in his throat, he took her into his arms. "Mine!" With that, he rushed her into their room for another round...
