When the Era Nova arrived, not a single soul in Amphoreus was surprised that Kremnos’ crown prince and their Deliverer had finally become mates, proudly showing off their claiming marks while strolling around the markets and baths.
The more the days passed, the more the citizens of Okhema watched the two as couples and their children passed by. An almost bittersweet, longing look would stay upon their faces until they looked at one another, faces turning solemn for a minute or so before they'd act as if that never happened.
Phainon knew that Mydei would one day want to have children, but only once Castrum Kremnos was in a state where it’d be safe for a child to have their upbringing there. He too wanted to have a child, for them to have the peaceful childhood that came to its abrupt end. But… Considering they were both alphas, that would’ve been impossible.
It didn’t take long for their pining looks to reach Hyacine’s eyes. She sighed as she brought them into her clinic, having them sit down while she brought out some pamphlets and books on how with enough time and effort, some alphas have effectively become omegas.
“This process usually takes months to fully take effect, not some overnight magic trick.” She explained, honestly a little surprised that neither had ever heard of such a thing.
Phainon read over the pamphlet, taking in all the information as best as he could. He skimmed over some of the explanation before getting to the details of it.
…usually includes an alpha who is willingly letting themselves be scented for prolonged periods of time by another alpha, increasing their tolerance to dominant pheromones.
Acts of submission can sometimes make the process move smoother. Other actions such as taking a knot, or ingesting another alpha’s saliva or semen can also help.
Phainon stared at the words for a few seconds before clearing his throat and looking back up to Hyacine.
“So, uh, how long does this usually take?”
“Usually three to six months. Considering you two have been around each other for so long, and have mated, I imagine it won't be more than six, probably closer to four months.”
He looked to Mydei, seeing that hopeful glimmer in his eyes that he imagines his own had. They’ll probably have to mull it over once they were home, take some time to think who it’d be safer for. Before he could get too lost in his thoughts, Mydei thanked Hyacine for the information and books, and led Phainon home.
The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to go through with the process. It would more than likely be safest for him to go through with it, considering how he was destined to become the Worldbearing Demigod in all of those cycles, there was surely something about how Worldbearing would make him more fertile, or something…
“...Phainon, are you alright?” Mydei gently asked, seeing his mate so lost in thought, worried that something was wrong.
“Mydeimos, would you let me become your omega?” Phainon blurted out, garnering a shocked expression from Mydei.
He set a hand to Phainon’s face, rubbing his cheek lovingly. “Are you completely sure? I want you to do this for yourself, not me.”
Phainon nodded, a sweet smile upon his face as he pulled Mydei into a hug. “I do, I genuinely want to. I know it’ll be a rough few months with the changes, but I’m excited for our future. I’ll give it a week or so for us to fully go over anything and everything before we make a solid decision.”
Mydei embraced him back, kissing his mating bite. Phainon leaned into the touch, letting out a small laugh.
A full week had passed, and Phainon was still dead set on the process. Hyacine gave them the green light to continue, just so long as she could keep an eye on how the process went, occasionally checking on Phainon’s health.
The scenting was nothing different. Phainon usually liked being surrounded by Mydei's scent, and the other way around, and it was rare for either to not be drowning in the other. And for the saliva, they often spent their nights kissing each other senseless, until either is so out of breath they need a break, or they spend the whole night fucking. Usually the latter.
It was just another usual night for them. Make dinner, read some books in silence before talking about whatever until it was time for their bath, and then head to bed.
But not of course without Phainon being dicked down into the sheets.
He panted as Mydei fucked into him, nuzzling right against his scent gland, taking in that smell of wheat and charcoal. One hand on his thigh, pushing it up and placing Phainon into a mating press, another hand on his cock, stroking him at the same pace as his thrusts.
Sweet little whimpers left him, so much pleasure coursed through his body, his dick twitching and leaking precum profusely. He already felt so close, body tensing up as his thighs shook, letting out a loud whine as he came. His hips continued to buck into Mydei’s hand, not wanting the feeling to go away. He looked down to see his cum covered stomach, and how his knot began to inflate. Mydei tightened his hold on his cock right where his knot was, more cum dribbling out, and getting another moan from his mate.
“Just wait a bit longer, my beloved. I’ll knot you soon.” He groaned out.
Phainon felt so, so good. His knot squeezed by Mydei’s hand, his scent gland nipped at over and over again, and the feeling of Mydei’s cock fucking into him so fervently. If he could just lay here for hours, he would. He paid no mind to the moans and near screams that left him, nothing but Mydei filled his mind.
He could feel Mydei’s knot start to inflate, his dick throbbing inside of him as cum spurted into him, none of it flowing out due to the knot. Mydei lifted up from his neck, kissing Phainon’s lips sweetly. His thighs were carefully lowered into a more comfortable position, whining for the few seconds that his dick didn’t have a hand on it.
They laid in silence, half asleep as their knots deflated, eventually wiping themselves down before slumping back onto the bed and falling asleep.
For a few weeks, that was their usual nightly routine. Eventually, Mydei noticed little changes in Phainon’s scent. It lost the smoky charcoal aspect, fading into just wheat. A bit after, his knot wouldn’t even inflate anymore, his cock behaving more like a beta’s now.
He also noticed small changes in his body. His pecs were a bit softer, enough for him to fondle and squeeze at them, and they’d fill his hands. His hips began to get a bit wider, and his thighs and ass just the slightest more plump. All minimal, but still noticeable to both him and Mydei.
The day his scent turned sweet did not go unnoticed by anyone. A hint of cinnamon wafted through the Chrysos Heir’s meeting room, everyone looking Phainon’s way.
“Is- Is something on my face?” He asked, extremely confused as to why everyone was staring at him. Hyacine had him stand up and walk to her clinic, with Mydei in tow.
“Am I okay? Did Mydei or I do something wrong in the process?” He felt more worried than he should be about this. It’s not like he was carrying pups and had a health scare.
“You’re completely okay, don’t worry. But I do believe that it’s almost fully complete, seeing as your scent is closer to an omega’s now. However, it’ll still be a bit for the rest of the… physical changes to your body.” She smiled, seeing the other two’s expressions light up.
Hyacine returned to the meeting room while the two made their way home. Phainon grabbed one of the books Hyacine gave to them a while back, reading over the final few weeks of the bitching process.
During the final few weeks, your body begins the process of fully becoming an omega. This is very similar to what happens when one presents as an alpha or omega.
For example, when a male presents as an omega, his body will change to better fit the needs of an omega. Reproductive organs will begin to change to accompany a womb and vaginal canal, similar to a female beta’s anatomy.
Instinctual habits such as nesting and regular heats will also begin around this time.
Phainon’s always been curious on what being in heat felt like. He knows that for someone’s first few heats, they’re mostly uncomfortable, with the person having cramps and whole body aches with a somewhat high temperature. But for full on heats? Other than being achy and horny, he didn’t know.
But he’d be lying if he said he wasn’t anxious. What if he did something wrong during those months, and he’d end up hurt or sick? What if he would never be able to properly bear a child? Would Mydei be disappointed in him?
Mydei pulled him into a hug, knowing that his mate was spiraling from the change in his scent. “I don’t quite know what’s troubling you, but it’ll be okay. I promise.” He whispered, kissing Phainon’s cheek.
The next few days were spent getting stuff that most omegas would need. Suppressants weren’t needed since Phainon wouldn’t have a reason to keep his heats away, but if he needed them, he had them. Multiple scent patches were grabbed, along with some other little goodies.
He eyed the nesting supplies for a while, but he knew he didn’t need them since he could use Mydei’s clothes. He didn’t quite have the urge to nest yet, but wanted to try and make one just to experience it. Hyacine showed him once or twice what a basic nest looked like, and what it included, and that all nests were different. Some combined their own objects with items from others, some were compact, and others took up the whole bed, or whatever area they chose.
He gathered some of Mydei’s cloaks, layering them around the edge of the mattress as he moved the pillows around, trying to get it to look remotely like the ones he’s seen. No matter how he arranged everything, it didn’t feel right. Maybe he just had to be in pre-heat for it to feel right.
He curled into the bed, sighing deeply before deciding he should take a nap, he won't feel as frustrated over it once he’s awake.
When he awoke, he expected to see the sun still high in the skies, but it looked like the sun was… rising? He sat up, his muscles aching, shocked to see Mydei sitting beside the bed, a worried look upon his face.
He gave Phainon a moment to wake up a bit more before enveloping him in a gentle hug. “...What's going on?” He mumbled out, weakly wrapping his arms around Mydei.
“You've been out for about two days now, and wouldn’t wake up for anything.” There was a very faint tremble to his voice as he pressed a kiss to Phainon's face. He let himself be held in silence, knowing that Mydei wanted just a few minutes to hold him close.
“Am… Am I okay? I didn’t eat anything weird and get sick, did I?” Phainon asked, quietly chuckling. Mydei shook his head as he stood up, fetching Hyacine from the other room. She checked his vitals, took his temperature, had him do a few small stretches, and got him to drink some water.
She suggested that for the time being, that he just take a bath to soothe his aches, but continue to take it easy until he felt okay again. Before long, she left their house, leaving Mydei to help Phainon to the bathroom, drawing the water and helping him undress.
Phainon was still drowsy as Mydei undressed him, but his mate abruptly stopping once his pants were taken off made him look down.
Huh, okay. His dick was gone.
His look of confusion morphed into one of excitement, grabbing Mydei’s hands and smiling wide.
“It worked! I’m an omega now!”
Mydei still hadn’t fully processed it, but nonetheless, he looked happy.
“So, I’m guessing that’s why you were asleep for so long.”
Phainon helped Mydei tug off his clothes, and lowered themselves into the bath. The hot water felt wonderful to his muscles, and the hand reaching to his neck to massage it felt so good. The omega’s scent gland was rubbed a few times, the smell of wheat and cinnamon filling the bathroom.
He leaned back onto Mydei’s chest, eyes closed as he let himself fully relax. Hands rested on his thighs, rubbing small circles into them. It didn’t take long for Phainon to feel the thrum of arousal through his abdomen, Mydei could smell the change in his pheromones as well.
“Don’t you want to continue this in bed? I’m sure it’d be more comfortable than… laying on my chest in the bathtub.”
“But is the bed nice and warm like this? Didn’t think so.”
Mydei just sighed as his hand moved between the omega’s legs, gently touching him. He rubbed near his clit, not wanting to overstimulate him quickly. Phainon already was trying to get Mydei to move faster by bucking his hips towards his fingers, but got a scowl in return.
“Be patient, I’m not about to let you get hurt because you’re too excited to take it slow.”
Phainon just groaned, stilling his hips as a finger very carefully pushed into him, his touch gentle. He won’t lie, it was a bit strange. It wasn’t the same as how it felt when Mydei was prepping him in the past, but it felt good. Everything felt a bit more sensitive too, making Phainon let out small whimpers with every curl of Mydei’s finger.
He felt Mydei grinding against his backside, his cock slowly hardening as another finger pushed into his pussy. Every slow thrust and every careful curl just made him more needy. Obviously, Mydei didn’t want to hurt him, but after the amount of times he’s been fucked and knotted in the past few months, the slow pace wasn’t cutting it for him.
He lifted himself up off his fingers, and turned around to face his mate. A smirk adorned his face as he slightly lowered himself, rubbing his cunt against his cock. He’ll probably wait until he’s no longer aching throughout his whole body before taking Mydei again, but just grinding down on it felt so good.
The tip rubbed against his clit, slick leaking onto their thighs. His movements sped up as Mydei held onto his hips, both men groaning loudly, the water around them sloshing around and spilling onto the floor. Phainon choked out a sob as he felt his cunt throb, his vision blurring as he squirted. Mydei’s dick twitched below him, his own moan echoing through the bathroom as he came.
The alpha ran a hand through his hair, kissing his scent gland as his body calmed down, resting against his chest once more. He reached for the tub drain, and led Phainon over to the shower to rinse them both off.
“I- didn’t quite realize that I could do that.” Phainon panted out, soap getting lathered up over his body. Mydei let out an amused huff, scrubbing his mate’s body down.
“I’d like to see you do that again while on my face next time.”
“While on- You know damn well I’d crush you if I sat on your face. Remember the last time I did? You broke your nose, both Hyacine and Aglaea had to give us that embarrassing talk.”
“Well I’m not about to give up, there’s no word for givi-”
“Mydeimos, don’t you dare finish that sentence.”
“...There might be a word for giving up in the Kremnoan language.”
Phainon giggled as he was rinsed off. He was quite excited for his heat now, the opportunity of being able to bear Mydei’s heirs was something he never managed to get off his mind when he was still an alpha. Something that used to be a distant dream was so close to becoming a reality.
“I propose a challenge for us, Mydei.”
The alpha raised an eyebrow, curious as to what his mate had to say.
“Let’s see how long we can go without you fucking me before my heat starts. I’d say how long you could go without cumming since I’d want as much cum in me once it starts, but we both know that you can’t go that long without my mouth around you.”
He watched the flush appear on Mydei’s face, but that glint in his eyes meant he accepted the challenge.
“Of course, beloved. But soon enough, I know you’ll be begging for my knot once more.”
