Neteyam stood at the forefront of the gathered clan leaders, his presence commanding attention and respect. The remnants of the war against the sky people still hung in the air, a palpable sense of victory mixing with the anticipation of rebuilding. Yet, amidst the discussions of strategy and alliance, Neteyam’s mind was preoccupied with a different kind of battle—one for the heart of Ao’nung.
“Ao’nung would make a better partner for me,” Neteyam declared confidently, his voice echoing against the sacred stones. “He embodies strength and resilience. He is meant to be my omega.”
The elders murmured among themselves, glancing at Ao’nung, who stood a few steps behind Neteyam, his arms crossed defensively over his chest. The tension in the air was thick as they considered Neteyam's words. An alpha, destined to be with another alpha? The notion was unconventional, yet here was Neteyam, the hero of their people, reshaping their understanding.
Mo’at, Neteyam’s grandmother, watched her grandson with keen eyes. After the meeting, she approached him, her voice soft yet firm. “You know of ‘bitching,’ don’t you, my child?”
Neteyam nodded, recalling the ancient practices. “It’s the process where an alpha can be transformed into an omega, yes?”
“Correct. But it is not to be taken lightly. It requires great care and understanding,” she warned, a glint of concern in her gaze.
Neteyam’s heart raced at her words, the realization washing over him like a wave. He began to devise a plan. The first step was to drench Ao’nung in his pheromones, effectively suppressing Ao’nung’s alpha identity. Each time they were alone, Neteyam would draw closer, letting his scent envelop Ao’nung.
“Why do you always have to be so close?” Ao’nung grumbled, trying to mask the rush of warmth that bloomed within him whenever Neteyam was near.
Neteyam merely smirked, leaning in further. “Because you smell better when you’re close to me. It’s a win-win, don’t you think?”
Though fury simmered within Ao’nung, he felt powerless. To resist the newly revered leader of their people would invite disapproval from everyone around them. Instead, he bit his lip, suppressing his anger. “I’m not your omega, Neteyam. I’ll never be.”
“Yet, they will see you as one,” Neteyam replied smoothly, tilting his head as he gazed at Ao’nung, his smile unwavering. “And soon, you’ll believe it too.”
With each passing day, Neteyam’s influence deepened. Ao’nung’s scent began to shift, mingling with Neteyam’s own. The clan started to embrace the idea of Ao’nung as the future queen alongside their king, a concept that sent shivers of resistance down Ao’nung’s spine.
“You know they think you’re destined for me, right?” Neteyam teased one evening as they walked through the bioluminescent forest, the soft glow illuminating their faces.
“I don’t care what they think,” Ao’nung shot back, but his tone lacked conviction.
“Really? Because it seems you do care about my opinion,” Neteyam said, stepping closer, his voice a low purr.
“Don’t push me, Neteyam,” Ao’nung warned, but his heart raced at the closeness.
Neteyam simply smiled, unfazed. “You’re going to have to get used to my touch. After all, we’re meant to be together.”

As days turned into weeks, Neteyam intensified his tactics. He began drenching Ao’nung in his pheromones during their private meetings, ensuring that the alpha was overwhelmed by his scent. “It’s just a little practice for our future together,” he would say, feigning innocence while watching Ao’nung squirm.
“Why do you have to smell like that?” Ao’nung snapped one afternoon, trying to push away the haze that enveloped him. “It’s distracting!”
Neteyam leaned closer, a knowing grin on his face. “That’s the point. You’re supposed to smell like me, Ao’nung. It’s how our bond will form.”
Ao’nung gritted his teeth, irritation coursing through him. “This isn’t a bond; it’s manipulation.”
“Maybe it is,” Neteyam admitted, “but you’ll learn to appreciate it. Just like everyone else will.”
With each encounter, Neteyam’s scent lingered on Ao’nung, a mark of ownership that began to shift perceptions. When the two walked among their people, whispers would follow them. “Look how well they complement each other,” they would say. “Isn’t it beautiful?”
“It’s unnatural!” Ao’nung snapped one day as they returned from a tour of neighboring clans, frustration boiling over. “We’re both alphas! This is not how it’s supposed to be!”
“Who says? Just because tradition dictates doesn’t mean it has to be that way,” Neteyam countered, unbothered by Ao’nung’s anger. “You’re strong, Ao’nung, and it makes sense for you to embrace your role as my omega.”
“I won’t,” Ao’nung asserted, feeling the weight of his alpha status slipping through his fingers. “I’m not changing for you or anyone else.”
But as he spoke, he felt a strange pull within him, a tugging sensation that made him question everything he believed.
—
The second phase of Neteyam’s plan involved constant skin-to-skin contact, a potent form of bonding that was hard for an alpha like Ao’nung to resist. Neteyam’s fingers brushed against Ao’nung’s arms, lingered on his nape, and trailed down his hips. Each touch felt possessive, almost primal.
“Stop it,” Ao’nung said, his voice strained as he fought against the stirring desires within him. “You’re crossing a line.”
But Neteyam only smirked, enjoying the power he held over Ao’nung. “I’m just training you to accept me, Ao’nung. You’ll thank me later.”
One day, as they sat in a secluded glen, Neteyam’s hands wandered lower, exploring the base of Ao’nung’s kuru. Ao’nung gasped, trying to pull away, but Neteyam tightened his grip, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
“Neteyam, don’t!” Ao’nung exclaimed, struggling against the touch that sent waves of unwanted pleasure through him.
“Just relax,” Neteyam coaxed, his voice low and soothing. “Let me show you how good this can feel.”
As he toyed with Ao’nung’s kuru, kissing its tendrils, Ao’nung felt his resolve weaken. “I won’t let you do this,” he gasped, but even as he protested, he noticed how his strength seemed to falter against Neteyam’s unwavering touch.
“Let go, Ao’nung,” Neteyam urged, his voice dripping with authority. “You’re going to become what you were always meant to be.”
Ao’nung’s heart raced, panic clawing at him as he fought against the tide of emotion threatening to overwhelm him. “This isn’t right!” he shouted, but the desperation in his voice faltered as he succumbed to the pleasure coursing through him.
Days passed, and Ao’nung fell ill, a fever taking hold of him for three agonizing days. During this time, Neteyam was the only one by his side, his presence both a comfort and a curse. “You need to eat,” Neteyam insisted, spooning a strange concoction toward Ao’nung’s lips. “It’ll help you get better.”
“What is this?” Ao’nung frowned, recognizing the taste as something strange and foreign. “It tastes funny.”
“It’s special. Just trust me,” Neteyam urged, holding him gently. “You’ll feel better soon, I promise.”
Though Ao’nung felt too weak to resist, he was horrified to realize the food was laced with Neteyam’s cum. His body was changing, transforming under the weight of Neteyam’s influence, and he felt helpless to stop it.
—
On the third day, clarity washed over Ao’nung as he connected the dots. Panic surged through him, igniting his instincts to flee. “I need to get away!” he gasped, suddenly desperate for freedom.
“Ma’Ao’nung!” Neteyam called out from behind him, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down Ao’nung’s spine. “Where are you going?”
Heart racing, Ao’nung dashed through the familiar paths of the forest, panic coursing through his veins. The heat creeping through him was overwhelming, each step a battle against the tide of desire threatening to pull him under. He stumbled, falling to the forest floor, desperate for escape.
Just as he fell, he sensed Neteyam’s presence looming over him, a predator closing in. The alpha’s eyes gleamed in the darkness, a predatory glint that ignited a fire within Ao’nung’s chest.
“Looks like you’re in heat, Ma’Ao’nung,” Neteyam said, a teasing lilt to his voice as he knelt beside him. The scent of Neteyam enveloped Ao’nung, intoxicating him further, drowning him in warmth and desire.
“Get away from me!” Ao’nung protested weakly, but the fire in his belly contradicted his words.
“Good thing I’m here,” Neteyam purred, leaning closer, his breath warm against Ao’nung’s skin. “Don’t worry, omega; alpha is here to take care of you.”

The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over the beach, where laughter and joy danced in the air like the gentle waves lapping at the shore. Ao’nung sat on the warm sand, his heart a tumultuous mix of emotions. A gentle tug at his breast drew his attention to the child suckling contentedly at his side. The soft coos and gurgles of his infant echoed around him, a reminder of the life he had never intended to create but was now bound to protect.
“Ma!” called out a small voice, tugging at Ao’nung’s heart. He looked up to see his two older children—both vibrant and full of energy—running toward him, their faces alight with excitement. They were a mirror of both him and Neteyam, their features a blend of the two alphas. “Can we play in the water?”
“Just a moment,” Ao’nung replied, his voice soft but weary. He could feel the heaviness of their reality settling on his shoulders, the weight of motherhood pressing down on him.
“Please, Ma! We wanna splash!” the younger child insisted, bouncing on their toes. Their bright eyes sparkled with the innocence of youth, oblivious to the storm that raged within Ao’nung.
“Okay, but be careful,” Ao’nung finally relented, a reluctant smile breaking through the facade of his resignation. He watched as they squealed in delight, racing toward the surf where Neteyam was already playing, effortlessly commanding the attention of their children. The sight twisted something deep within Ao’nung—a mix of longing and resentment.
He turned his gaze back to the horizon, watching the waves crash and recede. How had he come to this? The idyllic beach scene before him felt like a cruel joke, a bright façade hiding the truth of his entrapment. Neteyam had not only taken his freedom but had entwined their lives in a way that was irrevocable, a bond that now included their children.
Neteyam glanced back, his presence as magnetic as ever, his laughter ringing out as he played with the kids. “Come on, Ao’nung! Join us!” he called, a smile plastered across his face.
A pang of anger surged through Ao’nung, directed not just at Neteyam but at himself for allowing this to happen. This was not the life he envisioned. He had been a proud alpha, strong and unyielding, yet here he was, tethered to a life that felt like a gilded cage.
“I can’t, Neteyam,” he replied, the words bitter on his tongue. “I have… responsibilities.” The children had taken to the waves, their laughter intertwining with the crashing of the ocean, blissfully unaware of their father’s turmoil.
“Responsibility is part of being a parent,” Neteyam said, his tone light but his gaze piercing as if he could see through Ao’nung’s façade. “You need to embrace this, Ao’nung. They look up to you.”
Ao’nung’s heart clenched. “And what if I don’t want this? What if I wanted something different?” The confession slipped from his lips before he could contain it, the weight of his words hanging heavily in the salty air.
Neteyam stepped closer, the playful demeanor shifting as he approached. “But this is what you have now. We can build a family together, Ao’nung. You’re not alone in this.” His voice was low, persuasive, wrapping around Ao’nung like a warm blanket, but the undertones of dominance lingered.
Ao’nung looked down at the child suckling at his breast, the bond between them undeniable yet suffocating. He brushed a hand over the infant’s hair, feeling the weight of his new identity—one that had been thrust upon him rather than chosen. “You don’t understand,” he murmured, “I never wanted this.”
“I know,” Neteyam said softly, stepping closer still, “but now we have to make it work. For them.”
A heavy silence fell between them, filled only by the distant sounds of laughter and the crashing waves. Ao’nung’s children splashed and squealed, their innocence a stark contrast to the tumult in their father’s heart. They were his, bound by blood, yet Ao’nung felt like a stranger in his own life, grappling with the truth that he was forever tied to Neteyam, the alpha who had reshaped his destiny.
As Ao’nung watched his children play, joy mingling with anxiety, he understood that his choices, or lack thereof, had led him to this moment. They were innocent, unaware of the complexities of their origins, and yet he felt their future resting on his shoulders.
“Come play, Ma!” one of the children shouted, their voice piercing through Ao’nung’s thoughts, an invitation he couldn’t refuse.
With a resigned sigh, Ao’nung finally rose to his feet, the struggle within him unresolved but overshadowed by the need to protect his children. “Alright, just for a little while,” he called back, forcing a smile.
As he moved toward the waves, the reality of his existence loomed heavily over him. He had not chosen this path, but now, it was the only one he could follow—his heart torn between duty and desire, between the remnants of his past and the tangled life he now had with Neteyam.
The laughter of his children rang out like music in the air, and for a fleeting moment, Ao’nung allowed himself to be swept into their world.
