Summary
When the Witchfinder unmasks Merlin not only as a sorcerer but as an Omega, chaos erupts in Camelot. Dragged to the dungeon, Merlin faces execution, or worse. Arthur makes the impossible choice: bond Merlin to protect him from Uther’s wrath. But protection comes at a cost neither of them is prepared for, marriage, heat, and an unexpected future neither prince nor servant ever thought possible.

Summary
As an omega in Camelot, serving an alpha King, Merlin had to be careful. Careful about how he acted, careful about how he smelled, careful about who he was alone with.
As a warlock, destined to protect said alpha King, Merlin had to be careful. Careful about who Arthur was alone with, careful about what others saw, careful about the shadows that constantly surrounded them.
No matter what role he served, Merlin had to be careful.
Always, always careful.

Summary
“Might I ask you what do you think of Arthur?” Uther asks.
“Arthur? Oh, that’s easy,” Merlin says. “He’s a pompous, arrogant, self-important prick, whose compassion I’m sure will make him the greatest king that this kingdom will ever see.”
Uther needs a moment to work through all that.
“Romantically,” he clarifies. “I meant romantically.”
(Uther learns that Merlin is the son of the last dragonlord. He sends him away with Balinor in exchange for a promise that Kilgharrah will not attack Camelot again, and in doing absolutely shatters Arthur's heart. In a flare of fatherly regret, he does what he feels he must to soothe Arthur's distress, which includes trying to figure out what it is that Arthur likes so much about Merlin in the first place.)

Summary
Muscles jump in Balinor’s clenched jaw.
“I knew you wanted him,” he says. “You could never be satisfied with just your own son.”
“I need a loyal dragonlord,” Uther explains to him. “And we both know that it won’t be you.”
“You vile man,” Balinor says. “You used my love. You used my son.”
“And I would do it again. Do we have a deal?”
(Uther, desperately lonely after sending Arthur away to become a knight, manipulates Balinor into giving him Merlin to keep as his pet dragonlord. Balinor, furious at having been tricked a second time, joins a rising resistance to Uther's rule. When Arthur comes home, he falls in love with his father’s strange ward and in doing so unwittingly ignites a war.)
