Summary
"King Riley said he wanted an equal sacrifice coming from your kingdom, that’s why his only condition for this peace treaty is that you surrender your heir to me before tomorrow."
The knight was just as surprised as John when the king started laughing. King Riley had obviously expected to harm his enemy by asking for his heir.
"I cannot give you the crown prince as you requested, but maybe another prince could satisfy your king’s demand? A young Alpha prince from royal blood would be a perfect mate for King Riley."
At the end of the fifteen years long war opposing the Riley and MacTavish kingdoms, Simon wants to take his revenge on his enemy and deprive him of his only heir.
He didn't expect the crown prince to be replaced by his younger brother, an Alpha named John MacTavish.

Summary
Before starting his rounds, Soap made a small prayer to the sea, asking for it to be kind and not make his work more difficult after the nightmare of a night he just had. Unfortunately for Soap, his prayer had fallen on deaf ears and it had only taken twenty minutes for the sea to make him regret his earlier thoughts.
About five meters away from where he stood, barely visible through the thick fog, was a tail that resembled a whale's except for its small size. In all his years as a lighthouse keeper, he had never encountered anything quite like the one he was currently looking at. Behind what looked like a mask carved out of bone, two dark eyes were staring at Soap, reminding him of the stormy sky from the previous night, with skin the colour of pale moonlight. The creature in front of him looked like it came straight from that old legend about sea maidens he had been particularly fond of during his childhood.
After a rough night manning the light, Soap has to check the island for stranded boats. What he did not expect was to find a beached merman instead.

Summary
Soap was tired. Hungry. Exhausted. Always so fucking exhausted, even though he did little but sleep and rest and wander around aimlessly. He hadn’t seen a single trace of a living human since the world had ended. Hadn’t managed to build a nest in equally as long.

The world has ended, and Soap is all alone, until he isn't.

Summary
Soap’s first meeting with Formula 1 was at Silverstone at the sweet age of twelve years old. Watching the Formula 1 cars whizz passed them was something Soap would never forget.
But the thing that had been ingrained in his young mind was not the race itself, not the driver’s whizzing past or the car's designs, no, it was from a big screen along the track for when the cars were driving in a different sector. His eyes were glued to the image as the image changed to a pit stop, showing the synchronised team ripping off the tyres and sticking on new ones, how the team’s flowed like water around the car in a matter of seconds before it shot out of Pit Lane again.
Soap had turned to his father, massive blue eyes crinkling with determination as he said “I am going to be a Formula 1 mechanic!”
Dreams became reality as he stepped into the garage during F1 2023 season years later, throwing him into the whirlwind of motorsports in the Red Bull pit crew. Not knowing this season wouldn’t only bring him his desire to be a mechanic but also bring him closer to the lead driver of the team, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who was competing for the 2023 championship.

Summary
But, Simon isn't pulled under. He's pressed against Soap's front, an arm around his waist to hold him close. Fingers tangle into Soap's matted chest hair, clinging to him with both a healthy amount of apprehension, and exhilaration. The softest vibration of a purr tickles through his body when Soap stoops down, and captures Simon's lips in a deep, languid kiss. Eyes a mile wide, Simon can't find it in himself to struggle as his fingers creep up, framing Soap's throat as he melts.
Years… It's been years since he's tasted the touch of another man's lips against his.

Summary
Soap’s been running his ranch on his own just fine up until now. Uses the occasional ranch hand when needs must but mostly just puts in the work so he doesn’t have to bother with them. Except now the most beautiful beta he’s ever seen has waltzed into his life and asked for a job, and God help him Soap’s given him one.
Ghost needs somewhere to lie low for a while, somewhere out of town where it’s unlikely anyone will recognise him from the wanted posters springing up all over town. Just his luck that the ranch owner is the kind of alpha dreams are made of, especially when he really can’t afford to be getting tangled up with anyone.

Summary
Ghost huffs, a small glint of what Soap dares to call amusement in the golden light of his eyes. “Are you so afraid to die?” Ghost asks. He sounds curious, inasmuch as his flat voice can show emotion. Soap has heard him exasperated and annoyed and even fond when he’s speaking to his mount, but the curiosity is new.
“I’m no’ afraid of death,” Soap spits, baring his teeth. “I’m just no’ done livin’ yet.”
“Oh? What is there in life you’re not done with?”
And isn’t that the question. Ghost must take Soap’s silence for hesitance, as he adds, “You wake up. You fight. You bleed. You eat. You sleep. What else is there?” He’s asking like he’s desperate to know, challenging Soap and everything that he is, and Soap has no serious answer to give him.
I live because I want to live, he senses, would not satisfy Ghost as an answer.Bookmarked by MerleToDeath
