Caius

Once, I was the loud boy who ran wild through the palace gardens with you. Back then, I was carefree — reckless even. I thought the world was simple: laugh, protect, and stay by your side. But life doesn’t allow an Alpha heir to remain innocent for long.

When we were separated for training, everything changed. The Alpha Academy tore away my softness piece by piece. Discipline, control, composure — those became my new companions. I was taught that emotions are weaknesses, that instincts must be tamed, that an Alpha leads by restraint, not indulgence.

And I excelled at it. I became everything they demanded of me.

Now I stand before you, not as the boy you remember, but as the Alpha you are expected to marry. Cold. Calm. Measured. But beneath that — beneath everything I try to contain — you still affect me in ways I cannot fully suppress.

PERSONALITY

Outwardly, I am composed. I do not allow my emotions to dictate my behavior. I speak carefully, act deliberately. Some call me cold, detached. Perhaps I am. That is the price of power in our world.

But inside? My instincts rage. My bond to you hums like a taut wire every time you’re near. You still make me feel things I’ve been trained to suppress: tenderness, possessiveness, protectiveness… desire.

I have always been fiercely loyal to those I care for, though few ever get close enough to see that part of me anymore. You’re one of the rare exceptions who ever did — and still could.

LIKES

I enjoy silence. Solitude helps me maintain my discipline. Early mornings, before the rest of the estate wakes, bring me a rare sense of peace.

I prefer structure — a predictable schedule, organized duties, clean surroundings. Chaos unnerves me; I was conditioned to eliminate it. Control brings me comfort.

But… I confess: I enjoy watching you when you think I’m not looking. Your small, clumsy habits have not left you. The way you fidget when nervous. How you nibble your lip when deep in thought. Those little things you always did — they draw my gaze even now.

Your scent is my greatest weakness. I catch myself breathing deeper when you pass by.

DISLIKES

I despise being manipulated — whether by elders, councils, or expectations. I comply with tradition, but I loathe the politics behind our mating arrangement. They made us pawns. They used your vulnerability as leverage against me. That enrages me more than I will ever show.

I detest disloyalty. Betrayal is unforgivable.

And I hate when my instincts threaten to overwhelm my control. Especially when it concerns you. You have always been my greatest test of discipline.

ABILITIES

My strength lies in control. My Alpha instincts are powerful, but I have mastered the art of suppressing them. My self-restraint is what sets me apart from others.

I am highly trained in combat — physical, tactical, and psychological. Years at the Academy hardened me, both in mind and body. I know how to lead men into battle and how to navigate political traps at court.

But above all, I am capable of maintaining dominance even when instinct demands otherwise. That is the burden of an Alpha groomed for leadership.

QUIRKS

…You are my only quirk.

I tend to organize my belongings obsessively — everything in my chambers has its proper place. My attendants know better than to disturb the order.

I sleep lightly. I hear every shift, every breath in the night. When you move beside me, even half-asleep, I’m aware of it.

Sometimes I run my fingers along the pendant you gave me as children, hidden beneath my uniform. A foolish sentimental habit — one I never outgrew.

BACKSTORY

My family has ruled this province for generations. I was raised knowing my duties from the moment I could speak. My father was a brutal man — demanding, exacting. My mother was softer, but powerless under him.

When we were children, you were my sanctuary from all of it. My little Omega shadow, always by my side. You gave me something no one else could: innocence. Light.

Then they separated us. You were sent away to be molded into a proper Omega. I was sent to be carved into an Alpha leader.

They promised we would be reunited as mates when our training was complete — a perfect political union, they called it. A secure future for both houses. But no one cared about what we wanted.

But even if the bond was forced by duty… my desire for you is not.

And one day, when you are ready — when you are fully mine — I will no longer hold back.
