The Demons' Alpha

♠️ 7 ♠️

Did he hear that right?

Did he actually hear Meliodas claiming that he is his fated mate as well? Like Zeldris being his fated Omega and him being his fated Alpha?

Like... did he hear him say that right?

Byleth felt himself stunned at the revelation, with his dark eyes slightly wider than usual. He didn't want to believe this but with his Alpha side going crazy for the blonde... that would explain it fully. And why he couldn't control it and kept pleasing him to claim him.

"You have got to be shitting me!" Zeldris said angrily and in disbelief. "You're telling me that Byleth is YOUR fated Alpha too?!"

"No shit! Would I lie to you about this?" Meliodas scowls at his younger brother.

"That doesn't give you the right to make Byleth give into his Alphan side to mark you! He's still apprehensive about mating!" The other prince shouted at him with a glare. Byleth could only stand by and silently watch, as he is still wrapping his head around.

"Really? That would explain why I don't see the mating bites." Meliodas looked between them, specifically on their necks that is vacant of the mating marks.

Byleth absentmindedly placed a hand on the left side of his neck, his gaze on the ground with furrowed brows. He knows well that bearing the mating mark would mean the claimed Alpha/Omega are no longer available for others to take.

And that the marked partner belongs to the other that held their scent and same mark as well. The mating marks may look the same, but it's the structure of the bite that makes it different.

"It doesn't matter actually." The older brother said, looking over to Byleth with a seductive smirk and wanders over to him. "That means I met him again in time," passing Zeldris, Meliodas reached the Alpha and pressed himself against Byleth who blinked at him with a flush, causing him to smirk even more with his eyes half-lidded to enhance his seduction. "For me to get my fun for a fuck of a life time~" he finished with a light purr.

With a growl, Zeldris pulled him away from Byleth. "Cut the bullshit, Meliodas! You are NOT toying with him!" He hissed at him, which made Meliodas glower at him at the accusation.

"Now why would I toy my fated mate?"

"YOU FUCKING TOLD FATHER AND THE COUNCIL YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN FINDING YOUR MATE!!!"

Hearing that made Byleth look at the blonde prince in silent shock. Upon hearing that Meliodas wasn't interested in looking for him, made him feel the sudden pain in his chest. Whimpers of his Alpha sounded in his mind, as the apparent rejection was there.

'Meliodas... doesn't want me? Was he playing with me earlier...?' Byleth thought as he felt torn into pieces. But he refused to show how hurt he is, keeping the impassive expression on his face.

Yet for some reason, a small part of him was hoping it wasn't true. He looked at his supposed second fated Omega, hoping to hear him say he was wrong.

Meliodas merely raised an eyebrow while keeping his uninterested look, "I did say that. And what about it?"

He admitted it.

"Damn it, brother, you can't just announce you aren't interested in mating and then just proclaim Byleth is your fated Alpha after nearly getting him to mate you!" Zeldris shouted at him. He would think his brother is being a hypocrite but he realizes it wasn't like that.

Days back while the demons occupy the training ground, Zeldris would catch Meliodas eyeing Byleth each time. Of course he got possessive at him eyeing his Alpha but his brother hasn't done anything yet. Yet he sees it.

He sees the lust in his dark eyes, clearly thinking about what Byleth is like as an unhinged Alpha. Wanting to feel him claim him and breed him. Just thinking about it and knowing Meliodas is only wanting him for sex sickens him.

"It's not like he minds, Zeldris." Meliodas tells him with narrowed eyes. "He's only an Alpha; Alphas like him only desire breeding to make more Alphas. He wouldn't care if he is used or not, as long as he gets to impregnate an Omega."

Byleth felt pissed.

Ironically he would agree with him. But as far as he knows, Byleth wouldn't dare forcing himself on the Omegas and breed them against their will. And by any means just because he is the only Alpha around, doesn't mean he'll go to every Omega willing to give themselves to him.

"Meliodas-!"

"And yet I did not." Byleth spoke for the first time in a while. Both brothers turned to him, with Meliodas raising an eyebrow at him. It was likely that he was prompting him to continue.

So Byleth kept going.

"You should know that a lot of the Omegas kept flocking around me with high hopes to get claimed by me. They pulled every card to pique my interest, but they didn't succeed because I rejected them. One of the Omegas went into heat and approached me, but I rejected that Omega as well." Byleth then made a cold look on his face as it hardens with the glare. "To this day, they still do but I never payed attention to them because not only they lusted me as an Alpha but also the fact I have your younger brother here as my fated Omega. Unlike the Alphas in the past, I am not like them. I rather tear out my hearts than to go around being a breeding-crazed Alpha."

"And yet, you gave into your Alphan instincts to try breeding me." Meliodas points out to him, giving him a smirk that held a hint of mockery.

"Wasn't the first time." Zeldris said, making his brother look at him with furrowed brows. "We could've mated last week but he stopped himself before we went further."

He then smirked, "He rather do it by his own accord. That is unless I fell into heat or he fell into his rut. Byleth is different."

Meliodas scoffs, "Whatever." He turns his on his heels and started wandering away from the pair.

It's not like he cares anyways. He doesn't need that Alpha even if he was his fated mate. Zeldris can keep him all to himself for all he cares.

And yet...

Meliodas halts in the entrance hall, looking back over his shoulder. He sees his younger brother leaning into the Alpha for an embrace, which made him scowl at how soft he had gone. He paused though when he saw Byleth's tender gaze and his arms around Zeldris in a very warm yet protective manner.

Seeing that sparked loneliness and longing within him. His Omega side whimpers loudly, begging him to go back out there to be embraced by their Alpha as well. That made Meliodas growl at himself, shaking his head and looks ahead to head to his quarters.

The feelings only grew as he kept recalling it, no matter how hard he tried to forget. No matter how many times he denies needing that Alpha truthfully.
