Taking it was crucial to prevent pregnancy. Alpha's had a big 50% fertility rate. There was also a 50% bonus to fertility during a heat. If he did not take the 2 pills in secret, he would be pregnant with Owen's child. That would be bad for 2 reasons. Neither Bruce, Owen nor Kevin would allow him out on the world stage if he gave birth to a child. That was one reason. The other reason it would be bad was that Mitchel would totally be cucked. Knowing that his boyfriend was carrying his alpha rival's child would totally ruin their relationship. Even if Mitchel did not break up with him, Kevin and Bruce would see no reason that the beta male would be needed. Ronan would be giving birth to the child of the preferred partner. They would force Ronan to marry Owen to keep the child from being a bastard. Disgracing the Idut Family was not an option allowed to the omega males. They ate their meal together when it arrived. It was during the meal that Owen sniffed at Ronan and whined. "We're not mates yet." he said. The boys were way too powerful for these alpha bodyguards.
Mating bites could be forced on omegas of the same level or lower by an alpha or sigma. The king was a sigma male and the leader of a whole country. Especially with all the nobles dying around him and Queen Cassandra, it would not surprise Anna if he was in the mid 30s if not 40s. Reilly never stood a chance. His mark was covered by a special, ornate golden collar. Now that this chapter of their lives was over, it was time to go. They only had a couple of days to get ready for the second round of the big Burke Cup. The leaders and the alphas on the national team did not like them. They never wanted them in the first place. It was clear that they would not be invited back in the next year. They would not need it if they won it for Breaca the first time. All of them could focus on their personal careers. The heat was over and they needed to get back to practicing tennis. This was the most important thing they have ever done. It was only going to get more intense going forward. The cab took them all to the basketball arena. Because they were already famous, they were let in.
Getting to work, they got some practice in. There was a bit of stiffness to work out on Ronan's case. He had just been breached the night before. He was on the hook for singles competition. He could not rely on his brothers for support on the court. Even Mitchel would be far away in the stands. They spent a couple of hours playing Reid and Rhys had the first doubles rubber. Reilly and Evan had the second one. Hearing that they were allowed to play, they called Evan over. Once he arrived with his father, they played against each other for a bit. When Evan's father had enough, it was time for them to leave. Anna was confident that they would win. Still, all that only mattered if they had their hearts in it. Reid and Rhys would both be okay. They had their wives to see them through any hardships they faced. The others were much less secure. Ronan was finally breached. It meant that his womb was able to receive semen. Even from a beta male. But Owen was not going to give up so easily. He would continue to dump load after load in him every heat to knock him up.
