Called up to the sitting room on the second floor of the palace, they were shocked at what they saw. Reilly was awkwardly sitting next to the king. He was bit all over the place. One bite on the nape of his neck was the most red and aggressive looking. It was a mating bond. Kevin looked devastated. Even if he had to make that choice, this was the result of it. "Thank you for allowing me to get to know Reilly last night. With my recent coronation many factions of the court have been begging me to take concubines from their families." he said. His face went bitter as he thought more on it. "No one supported me for the crown. Now that their preferred heir failed, they want to create their own heirs." he muttered out loud. Shaking his head, he forced another smile on his face. "I did not breach him. He still has to play in the Burke Cup after all. He will be my first concubine. I have another candidate to determine if they will be a good fit." he said. Everyone was silent. The king took that as assent. He signaled to a servant holding a ceremonial blade in the corner. The king stood up.
King Percival smiled more genuinely. He looked at Kevin. "Even though I have chosen Reilly, I cannot have a true commoner in a royal harem. I, therefore, will knight you here. Step forward." Kevin had no choice but to obey his king. It was then that he was knighted. He rose a minor noble. He looked at the others. "You are fighting for us all in the Burke Cup. It has already been decided that we will knight all the members of the team if you win." he said imperiously. They were dismissed soon after. A royal proclamation went out later that day. Reilly would be the king's first concubine and hopefully bear more royal children. For the time being, he would continue to live in his own home with Kevin and the rest of his family. Reilly told everyone what happened. The king used his sigma powers to trigger his heat. Percival made the omega suck his dick and then bit him all over his body to mark him. It was a very sad thing. All they could do was support him going forward. He had time to heal both physically and mentally for the next round of the big tournament. Reilly was very quiet.
Mitchel was told of what happened right away as he was Ronan's boyfriend. He was very concerned. This could have just as easily happened to Ronan. Anna really did not know what to do. It was something that was already done. This was just like the trashy omegaverse novels she read online. A mansion on the outskirts of the city was being purchased and refurbished for the larger branch of the Idut Family to reside in. The king did not want to come to their small home when he wanted to fuck Reilly. It was bad when they all went into heat a week later. It was fine for the Burke Cup. The match would still be a few days later and it was in their home city. Reilly had a big meltdown when it started. So much so that Kevin had to knock him out to keep himself from hurting himself. He slept the whole first day. Owen and Simon were also called about this. Kevin still did not dare risk the ire of his father. Simon and Owen were both rich. It was no big deal for them to buy a hotel suite for them to enjoy. The 4 brothers all got in the cab the second day with their heat partners in tow.
