CHAPTER 1

Silas stormed into his father's office, frustration etched on his face. The weight of his omega responsibilities bore down on him.

"Dad," he said, his voice laced with desperation.

Mr. Nicholas looked up from his desk, concern in his eyes. "Silas, what's going on? You've been avoiding this conversation for weeks."

Silas sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's just... marriage. I'm not ready to choose between Arlo and Caspian."

His father leaned back in his chair. "You're an omega, Silas. You need to think about your future. Arlo's an alpha with a promising career – he can provide for you, protect you."

Silas shook his head. "What about Caspian?"

Mr. Nicholas raised an eyebrow. "Are you considering them both?"

"No, that's not it," Silas clarified, frustration creeping back. "I just... I can't choose. It feels like I'll be hurting one of them."

His father leaned forward, a hint of a plan in his eyes. "Why don't you live with them? Get to know them better, see who you connect with."

Silas's eyes widened. "Dad, have you heard them fight? It's toxic."

Mr. Nicholas chuckled. "That's how you'll figure out who's worthy of your love. You can find a way to make it work."

Silas stood, his mind racing. "I'll think about it."

"When you figure it out, come thank me," his father said with a smile.

Silas shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "Okay, Dad."

Silas's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden burst of movement. He looked up to see Caspian standing in front of him, eyes red-rimmed from tears.

"Silas, I've been worried sick about you," Caspian said, his voice trembling. "You haven't been answering my calls."

Silas's expression softened. "I was busy, Caspian."

Caspian didn't seem to care. He leaned in, pecking Silas's cheek before settling onto his lap. "I've missed you," he whispered.

Silas's lips curved into a gentle smile. He returned the kiss, his voice low and husky. "Yummy. I've missed you too."

Caspian's eyes turned puppy-like, his tears threatening to spill over again. "What about Arlo? Do you miss him more?"

Silas's expression turned soothing. He patted Caspian's back, trying to calm him down. "Stop crying, okay?"

Caspian's words tumbled out, laced with desperation. "What can I do to make you love me more?"

Silas's gaze turned serious. "I want to talk to you and Arlo about something."

Caspian's eyes lit up. "What is it? Are you finally choosing who you'll be with?"

Silas's grip on Caspian tightened. "No, it's not that. Dad suggested I live with you both. Get to know you better."

Caspian's face transformed, a mix of hope and excitement. "Really? You'll do that?"

Silas nodded. "Yeah. But we need to make it work. No more fighting, okay?"

Caspian's grin was back. "Deal. I'll be on my best behavior."

Silas smiled
