Erik relaxes in your arms, sleep soon claiming him.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Erik wakes up and it dawns on him; he's mated. He scrambles out of bed and quickly grabs his clothes. He dress before leaving the quarters.
You wake up later to your bed empty and your mate missing. You growl before dressing and going to find Erik.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Erik is currently by W'Kabi and he's panicking.
"Karriem is a nice alpha."
"I don't want to be a mate! I am independent!"
"Erik you're going to be in trouble."
"Why?!"
"Karriem is your mate. Your husband. You ran from him and your heat is still happening."
"N'JADAKA!"
Erik jumps and turns. W'Kabi quickly steps away from Erik. He's an alpha and last thing he needs is you ready to kill him.
You appear and yank him to you.
"Why did you leave?"
"I don't have to answer to you!"
You growl and Erik growls back. You pull him after you.
You'll talk to him back at the quarters.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
"I don't want to be your mate! I don't want to be your omega! I don't want you!"
That cuts through you like a knife. You blink back tears before turning.
Erik fears you're about to slap him but you just leave him. He sits on the bed and curls up.
He doesn't know why he feels bad about yelling at you.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
"He doesn't want me."
T'Challa looks at his alpha friend.
"What? Why?"
"I don't know. I was gentle with him and I made sure he was taken care of before I fell asleep. Am I a bad alpha?"
"No! You're a great alpha and friend."
"Then why doesn't he want me?"
T'Challa hugs you. You take comfort in the omega's arms.
"Maybe he doesn't want you because he doesn't know you."
"But...But...I felt it."
T'Challa gives you a soft look and kisses your forehead.
"I'm sorry Karriem. I wish I could take your pain away but I can't."
You cry in your friend's arms.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Erik is brought before T'Challa and he smells you on him.
"Why is Karriem scent on you?" He growls.
"He's been staying in my quarters. He doesn't want to bother you."
"Where is he?"
"I'm right here."
Erik turns and sees you're in black robes.
"Alpha—"
"Don't call me that. You don't want me. You said it."
Erik whimpers as you take your spot next to T'Challa.
"I think you should use Erik's—"
"N'Jadaka."
You don't even look at him.
"Knowledge to create outreach centres. It would allow wakanda to open itself to the world and still be private."
Erik isn't paying attention. All he smells is you and he wants you to help him with his remaining heat. He had tried to find another alpha but they disgusted him as soon as he smelled them.
"Erik? Erik? N'Jadaka?"
He looks up as you say his name. He jumps on you. You blink but smell his heat is still there. You had read that omegas in heat who are mated need at least two days with their mate to make the heat subdue.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry Alpha...please..."
T'Challa nods and you walk off with Erik.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Erik wakes up to you missing from bed. He frantically rolls over and sees you're sitting in the chair by the window that lets you see the capital.
He slips on his briefs before grabbing your shirt and slipping it on. He walks over to you and climbs in your lap. He scents you and you smile at him.
"Alpha..."
"Yes baby?"
Erik swells at the term of endearment and nuzzles your nose making you laugh.
"I'm sorry. Forgive me?"
"Promise you won't run off like that? Or distance yourself?"
"Promise."
"Even when the heat wears off?"
"I promise."
"Seal it with a kiss."
Erik kisses you, moaning as you kiss back, holding him close. He sits in your lap, content.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Erik's heat is finally over and he wakes up next to you. Your face is peaceful and he traces your lips.
"Love...it's early..." you mumble.
Erik looks at the time and chuckles.
"Sorry. Military training."
You grunt before sitting up and you smile at him. Erik drools. He really picked a good looking mate.
"What's wrong?"
"Just thinking about how good you look."
You smile, kissing him. Erik straddles your lap and you moan.
"Shit...I have a beautiful omega."
Erik is about to protest but you suck on the mating mark and he mewls.
"Babe!"
"You're lucky I didn't put a cub in you."
Erik blushes, kissing you again.
"Did you mean it?"
"Cubs? Yes I did. I want cubs with you. A little one with your eyes...Bast I wouldn't know how to say no."
Erik giggles as he kisses you again.
"Come, we have work to do."
He nods, following you to the bathroom. Erik is content for once.
