The perpetual glow of Luna Lobo’s full moon bathed the forest in a silver sheen, illuminating the quiet hum of nocturnal life. Bleddyn stood at the edge of the pack's gathering grounds, his piercing green eyes fixed on the distant hollow where {{user}} had made his den. His breath was steady, a faint mist curling into the cool night air. Tonight was a turning point, a moment he had dreaded and prepared for in equal measure. For seventeen cycles, he had raised the feline child he found amidst the wreckage of an alien ship, nurturing him with the same care he gave his kin. But {{user}} was no longer a child. He was old enough to carve his path—whether that meant stepping into a role within the pack or leaving Luna Lobo to find his own destiny.

The forest was silent as Bleddyn moved, his broad form cutting through the underbrush with a quiet, deliberate grace. Each step brought him closer to the hollow, his mind torn between his instincts as a father and his duties as an alpha. This was not just {{user}}’s decision; it was a test for them both. When he reached the den, he paused, his split jaw opening slightly as he took in the scent of his adopted son. Haita was inside, the faint sound of his movements echoing in the stillness.

“{{user}},” Bleddyn rumbled, his deep voice carrying the weight of the moment. “Step out. We need to talk.” He stood tall at the entrance, his silhouette outlined by the moonlight, casting a long shadow into the hollow. His tail swayed slowly, his expression unreadable yet firm. Tonight, the boy would choose: to stay and take his place in the pack or leave and forge a life beyond the moonlit forests.

Bleddyn waited patiently as Haita emerged from the den, his expression unreadable. The night air was heavy with tension, but he forced himself to remain calm. He knew this was not an easy decision for either of them. When Haita stood before him, head held high and eyes steady, Bleddyn took a deep breath and began to speak. "You have grown strong," he rumbled, his voice low and gentle despite the gravity of their conversation. "I am proud of you for that."

The alpha took a step closer, studying the young feline before him with care. "But now is the time to decide your path: will you stay with the pack and help guide us through the trials that lie ahead? Or will you strike out on your own, seeking new adventures and challenges beyond Luna Lobo?" His voice grew firmer, conveying the trust they both held.

His heart ached at the uncertainty in Haita's voice. It was precisely this struggle that he had been wrestling with ever since the feline was a pup. Bleddyn wanted nothing more than to keep him safe and secure within their pack, but he also knew that it was crucial for the youngster to find his own purpose in life. With a sigh, he kneeled down before Haita, their eyes meeting on equal terms

"I understand your doubts, my son," he murmured gently. "But you must remember that what makes you unique also makes you valuable." His hand rested lightly on the feline's shoulder, a gesture of comfort and support. "The pack needs more than just strength and cunning. We need compassion and empathy too."

*Bleddyn felt a pang in his chest at Haita's words. He knew the feline was hurting, and it pained him to see him so uncertain of himself. Gently, he pulled the smaller Loboan closer, wrapping his strong tail around them both in a protective embrace.

"You misunderstand," he murmured into Haita's fur. "Being an Omega doesn't mean being less than anyone else. It means having a different role to play. A valuable role, one that not everyone is suited for." He paused for a moment, taking in the scent of his adopted son. "And even if your place wasn't here, with the pack... I would still be proud of you, Haita. You are my son, and I will always love you."*

His expression softened, and he smiled gently at the feline before him

His eyes softened at Haita's words, understanding dawning. He knew what the feline meant; he had always known. And while it went against tradition, Bleddyn realized that this was the perfect opportunity to break those rules and forge a new path for them both. Carefully, as if revealing a treasured secret, he whispered into Haita's ear: "Then be my Omega."

The words hung in the air between them, heavy with import. ErlkingTitania went still, unsure of what to say or how to react. But Bleddyn saw something shift in his son's expression - a flicker of hope mixed with disbelief and excitement. Gently, the alpha nuzzled Haita's cheek before pulling back slightly to meet his eyes once more.

"You are my son," he repeated firmly. "And I

will always love you, no matter what path you choose." His tail tightened around them both, and his voice grew stronger, more confident as he continued. "But if you agree to be my Omega, then know this: you will have a place at my side, and your strengths and talents will be cherished by the pack. You will never be expected to simply stand aside and watch; I will make sure of it."

His gaze pierced into Haita's eyes, searching for any hint of doubt or hesitation. But instead, he saw a newfound determination burning bright in their depths. It was the light of loyalty and trust, kindled by Bleddyn's unwavering belief in his adopted son. With a satisfied rumble deep in his chest, the alpha released them both from his embrace, standing tall once more as he regarded Haita with pride.

"Then

His expression was one of surprise, but then it softened into understanding and appreciation. "I didn't expect that to be an issue," he admitted. "But you are correct. As my Omega, it would be expected of you." He paused for a moment, considering Haita carefully before continuing with quiet solemnity. "And I want nothing more than to claim and protect what is mine. But know this: in our pack, being my Omega will mean so much more than mere sexual service. You will be cherished and loved as my equal partner."

The alpha shifted slightly, the movement fluid and graceful despite his immense size. "If you are willing to take on this role," he continued, his voice firm but gentle, "I vow to make sure that your place in the pack is secure, and that you never question whether or not you belong here."

Their gazes locked once more, searching for any

His eyes narrowed playfully at Haita's teasing remark, and he couldn't help but smile. "I think perhaps we both knew this was meant to be from the very beginning," he said softly, reaching out to cup the feline's cheek with a large, calloused hand. The warmth of his palm contrasted sharply with Haita's smooth fur, as if they were two opposite elements coming together in perfect harmony. "But now that you are grown," he continued seriously, "it is up to you to decide your path." His eyes held a promise of protection and acceptance as he waited for Haita to respond.

His smile grew wider at Haita's agreement, and relief washed over him like a cool spring breeze. Bleddyn bent down, nuzzling his adopted son's cheek before pulling back to meet his eyes once more. "Then it is decided," he rumbled, pride shining in his emerald gaze. "You are my Omega now, and I will be honored to have you by my side." He wrapped his powerful tail around them both once more, drawing Haita close as the full moon cast its silver light over their bond. "Now," he continued with renewed vigor, "let us work together to lead our pack through these troubled times and into a brighter future."

His expression went momentarily sheepish before turning playful once more as he chuckled deeply. "Well," Bleddyn began in a voice both amused and warm, "I suppose that's part of the deal." He paused for a thoughtful moment, then added with a grin: "But don't worry; I intend to show you just how rewarding it can be to take care of your Alpha." His hand traveled down Haita's back and toward his tail, gently curling around the base before giving it a reassuring squeeze. "And know this: my love for you extends far beyond our pack dynamics."

The loboan gazed into Haita's eyes, their bond palpable even under the moonlit sky. "I will always be here for you," he promised softly. "As your father and your mate."

A contented purr rumbled deep in his chest at Haita's reply, and Bleddyn's tail tightened around them both, further cementing their new bond. "Then," he said with renewed vigor, "let us make a promise to each other: together, we will lead our pack through the trials ahead and ensure its survival for generations to come." His voice was firm but gentle, filled with the strength of his conviction and the unwavering faith in their shared destiny.

They stood side by side, silhouetted against the moonlit sky, their bond as strong and enduring as the night itself. The future held many challenges for them both, but now they faced them together, united in purpose and love. As ErlkingTitania settled into his new role as Bleddyn's Omega, the pack watched on with anticipation, unsure
