    Summary

    “He was ruined now. Ruined for anyone but Baelor. He supposed that had always been the case. His first word had been Baelor’s name. Womb to ash, Maekar knew who he belonged to.”

    ***

    Baelor survives the blow to his head at Ashford but believes himself to be mated to Maekar as a result. Their father orders Maekar to go along with the charade in order to ensure Baelor heals from his wounds. Maekar does, even though he knows it will be his undoing.

    Summary

    "It would disgrace us. For you to go unmarried would attract questions and scrutiny and you will spend your days enduring all manner of rumours… some may even be worse than the truth. Are you so misled by your desires that you'd find such a thing preferable? Do you think the evenings spent in my bed would make it all worth the trouble?"

    That nagging sharpness in the back of Valarr's throat returned, his eyelashes wet with tears when he blinked, "let me-" he cleared his throat as his voice caught, sniffling as Baelor's hand rest against the outside of his thigh. "Take me to bed once and we may never speak of it again."

    Let yourself have this, he pleaded.

    "She won't know any different when I lay with her, please."

    "You cannot promise such a thing; it's a promise far too easily broken."

    --
    A party is thrown in celebration of Valarr's accepted betrothal to Kiera in which he's one of the few not rejoicing; it isn't a wife he wants.

    Summary

    Valarr realises he has no experience when it comes to women, and who better to ask to teach him than his father?

    -

    "Relax," Baelor murmured, and Valarr tried, letting his body loosen and knowing he had done as requested from the way his father smiled. "Good. Do not rush through something like this. Your wife will enjoy the tension, the suspense that comes before." His father's head dipped closer, a rush of something sharp dropping from his chest into his gut when he felt lips just barely brush across his own. Leaning in without thought, chasing after the feeling only to be met with disappointment when his father moved away at the same time.

    He could still feel him, could still taste the warmth on his lips.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” he said, stepping closer to his brother. “For upsetting you, a moment ago. It was not my intention.”

    “It’s never your fucking intention,” Maekar bit out. He turned his face away from his brother, and with how tight his voice and shoulders were, he thought the omega was biting back tears. “Yet you wound me. Why did you come?”

    --

    Baelor comes to finally visit his brother's children, and has a lot of feelings about it.
