It was that time of the year;
That time where everyone was tense, nervous, praying the week would go by smoothly without someone possibly losing their head.
Servants would keep their heads extra low, guards made sure not to speak as much.
It was a rough time, everyone within the castle was in danger of the king's wrath. Even those closest to the king felt the stakes rising, tension so thick in the air they could choke on it. But they did not dare voice their concerns, they've learned time and time again that it was utterly useless, it was a behavior even out of the king's control.
"I can already smell it" A red echidna growls, using his index finger and thumb in an attempt to block out the stench wafting through the castle so powerfully it would knock any poor inexperienced omega on their knees.
The darker hedgehog sighed, tired of hearing the same complaints, although he understood them, it didn't make hearing them every single year no less annoying.
"Whining won't do anything, we just have to wait till it passes" The ebony hedgehog responded, receiving a growl in response.
Out of everyone, the echidna, Knuckles, was the least scared of them all to voice his complaints out loud. Going as far as to voice them to the king himself.
Some say Knuckles hasn't gotten executed simply because he's too useful to the king, though Shadow suspected that it had to do with the fact that Knuckles and the King were childhood friends; they were close to one another.
Despite how arrogant, and selfish said king was, he would never get rid of his close friends. Though that didn't mean they didn't get an earful from him when they stepped out of line.
"You think Amy is doing okay?" The red echidna pondered, more to himself than anything.
Right, that pink hedgehog had volunteered to be the king's little toy for the duration of his rut, most likely realizing that this was the only way for her to get truly close to the king, a dumb decision indeed.
"It's been four years since she decided to give her body to him for his ruts, I'm sure if she didn't like it she would've quit by now" The knight shrugged, rolling his eyes at the echidna's scoff.
"If you didn't have your head so far up your ass you would've noticed that she can't quit, dumbass" Knuckles snarled, fists tightening against the spear he held. "She told me last year"
"Oh?" Shadow feigned curiosity, red eyes glued to the king's private chamber door. The one they were ordered to guard to keep anybody susceptible to the king's smell as far away as possible. More specifically, omegas .
The only omegas allowed were the ones ordered… willing to give their bodies to the king. Which in this case, was solely Amy Rose. Idiot girl.
"She tried talking to Sonic about taking a break this year, but nobody would take her place. That's how much he scares everyone. You'd think any dumb omega would take the chance to lay with him in heart beat"
Shadow huffed at that, so badly wanting to argue with Knuckles about how not every Omega was willing to bend over backwards for an alpha in rut, but even the own heat building in his stomach at the smell of an alpha in rut betrayed him. He only hummed in acknowledgement.
They both remained silent after that, hoping the day would pass by faster so they could both go back to their own chambers after their shift ended. Despite the muffled screams, the two of them closed their eyes. Hoping a quick nap would take off the edge.
For shadow, this was no easy feat. Seeing how his body didn't really need any rest, a nap would never come to him soon. If anything, closing his eyes made him hear everything a little too clear.
The screaming, the moaning, the begging. The sound of skin slapping against skin. He could almost picture what was happening down there ever so clearly.
The knight let out a barely audible shaky breath at the feeling of slick running down his inner thigh.
He was thankful the Kings and Amy's scent were much more overpowering, or else the echidna might've caught on to the knight's arousal and would've definitely started asking questions.
Everyone thought he was an alpha, after all.
Nobody knew about his true identity, and those who did died long ago, taking that secret with them to the grave.
As a guttural scream ripped through the hallway, even making Knuckles tense up, Shadow briefly wondered how it felt like to be underneath the king.
Many omegas shared how aggressive the king was during his rut, how he didn't take no for an answer and sought out his own pleasure above all else. Though nobody would dare call him what he truly was, Shadow knew. All the king's closest friends knew
Hell, Amy Rose definitely knew. Those screams were not of pleasure.
But still, the knight pondered, fantasized, dreamed. How would it feel to be taken so ravagedly?
To have no decision over your own body? Maybe Shadow had less control over himself than he thought. He prided himself on being different from all the other omegas; Strong, dominant, hard headed.
It was times like these where his true omega self reared its head in, and the knight still wondered if it was a bad thing or not.
Suddenly, the two guards almost jumped from their spots when another guard came rushing towards them. Both Shadow and Knuckles snarled at the same time, before realizing it was just Silver, a white hedgehog who was supposed to be guarding the downstairs, right next to the king's chamber.
"What are you doing here?" The echidna questioned harshly, the white hedgehog panted, clearly out of breath from running through a whole flight of stairs in mere seconds.
"King sonic ordered me to seek out Shadow, you must go help him immediately"
Shadow raised a brow, "Why would he need my help? Help for what exactly?"
"Amy is experiencing some… complications.. And was hoping you could help her with your chaos emerald."
This was new, although the emerald was useful for healing as well, he only ever used it for combat and protection if they were to be invaded, seeing as he was the only one to truly master the energy.
But the king had never requested him to heal somebody with it. Never like this, anyways.
"Wait, is Amy okay? What did he do to her?" Knuckle's eyes widened, grabbing silver by his shoulders, the poor white hedgehog only shook his head.
"I-I don't know! Nobody can enter Sonic's private room without his permission. All he told me was to get Shadow! "
The knight sighed, this day just got way more complicated. If the king just needed a quick heal to his playmate, then to be it. Though it scared him to think about how his body would react being in the same room as him, he would just have to make sure to do everything quickly.
"Alright, I'll go down there. Not that I have much of a choice in the matter anyways, i'll make sure to be back within ten minutes" Shadow handed over his spear to Silver, who took it apprehensively, Knuckles just grunted, which was his way of basically saying 'be careful'
Despite never admitting it out loud, Both knights were pretty close. They could insult each other, fight, but in the end, they never truly wished one or the other any harm.
Knuckles knew something was up, so he frowned when he watched the dark hedgehog go down those dreaded stairs.
"He smells funny" Silver suddenly commented, Knuckles just sighed, folding his arms above his chest. Something was very wrong.
♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛
The more steps the knight made towards the king's chamber, the more the heat in his stomach spread throughout his entire body. It ached, it burned, it made his head fog and everything around him spin.
Would his head get chopped off if he chaos controlled right now and didn't come back until morning?
He so desperately wanted to, but what if Amy truly needed his help? The knight took a deep breath through his mouth, ten minutes .
It would only take ten minutes.
He knocked on the wooden door, hands shaking at the sound of someone shifting inside.
"Come in, Shads"
The voice was hoarse, it almost sounded like a growl, a command. But it was undoubtedly Sonic's voice. The knight swallowed hard and opened the door, making sure to close it quickly behind him.
The stench was almost powerful enough to knock him on his knees. The sight, however, sent a chill down his spine.
The room was dark, no windows, only a few torches hung up which painted the room in a red glow.
It almost looked like a dungeon cell, which to some, it definitely was.
There was a singular bed in the middle, messy, torn apart, stained. Amy Rose laid in the center, unconscious. She seemed almost dead save for the jagged rise and fall of her naked chest.
But nothing could prepare him for the image of Sonic, Shadow had to force himself to not audibly gulp.
The king was a mess of sweat, quills sticking out in every direction, not to mention his.. Gift , being on full display, swollen with the need to release, to impregnate. Twitching every second or so impatiently, though its owner smiled brightly once Shadow arrived, as if nothing were wrong.
"Shads! Glad you could make it." He walked over to the knight, placing a sweaty hand against his shoulder. Shadow visibly tensed.
"What do you need my help with, your majesty?" Shadow asked, surprised at his own voice for remaining calm. The king just kept smiling, only chuckling nervously at the question.
"Amy passed out, if that weren't obvious. I think I choked her a little too hard… She hasn't woken up in like… I dunno.. Twenty minutes?" Sonic huffed, as if it were a mere annoyance that Amy had lost consciousness because of his own fault.
"And you didn't call a medic because?..."
Sonic pouted, "You can fix her quicker?" He said as if it were the most obvious thing, and not absolutely vile. "If she's not back up and working today then i dunno what I'll do… maybe get one of those maids.." Shadow narrowed his eyes, noticing the sudden shift in the king's voice, the growl threatening to escape his throat, how his once bright emerald eyes were now clouded over.
"Vanilla seems nice, dontcha think?"
Shadow gritted his teeth, "You can't take her from Cream for an entire week. That's cruel and unnecessary." He looked over at the unconscious body of Amy Rose, sighing. "And i can't heal her if there's nothing to heal, she needs a break, you need to give her a break!"
What followed was deafening silence. Shadow hadn't meant to raise his voice, fuck why did he do that?
His quills rose at the sight of Sonic stepping closer to him, eyes unreadable now. With each step forward Sonic made, Shadow tried to take a step back. But he knew he was running out of space. Out of time.
“ I-I’m sorry, I misspoke. Forgive me, your majesty “ Shadow tried to apologize, but Sonic wasn’t fazed, wasn’t convinced . And once Shadow finally ran out of space, once his back pressed against the very door he came in by, Sonic laughed.
“Sorry! You looked very scared, Shadow!” He doubled over laughing, not concerned over how much the dark hedgehog was sweating now with fear. “I guess you’re right… she does deserves a break, you’re always right shads”
Shadow didn’t dare grow comfortable, there was something still seriously wrong here. “Am I dismissed, then?” He asked carefully, he didn’t know for how much longer he could stand being here. He was sure slick was leaking freely now, making a mess of his fur down below, undoubtedly even a beta could smell him now, he needed to go, to find somewhere safe to be in until this passed.
Wait . His eyes widened.
No.. no no no no no-
“Why would I dismiss you?” The king almost purred, closing the space between him and his knight, hands placed on either side of Shadow’s head, effectively blocking him in. “When you are the perfect replacement?”
Shadow closed his eyes, ears flattening when Sonic made a beeline towards the crook of his neck, inhaling deeply.
“Wow… You smell amazing.. All this time.. We could've been-”
Shadow moved his hands up, pressing them against Sonic’s chest in a poor attempt to push him off, but he knew it was too late, tears threatened to flow.
"Please- I'm sorry for what I said. It was out of line. I'll try to make Amy better i promise"
Sonic chuckled slowly, teeth nipping gently at the one very sensitive spot on his neck, a moan couldn't help but escape his lips, hips bucking involuntarily at the cock pressing so insistently between his wet thighs.
"I don't want you to.. I've always wanted to try out a man, never have... Would it be any different?" Sonic kissed, bit and sucked at the gland, every motion making a mess out of the Knight below him. He wanted to call for help, wanted to chaos control so badly… So why did his body refuse?
"Your smell is driving me crazy shads… " The king rutted against the dark hedgehog, small grunts escaping his hoarse throat when Shadow kept opening his legs more and more, inviting him, wanting him. He couldn't wait anymore, his rut was beginning to feel painful now.
He grabbed painfully at the knight's quills, dragging him away from the door to harshly throw him against the bed, positioning him so that his knees were on the floor, chest against the bed. He would've thrown the knight on the bed ro ravage him, but unfortunately Amy was still occupying it.
How inconsiderate .
"Your majesty, please… don't do this. I've never– Ah!" He gasped as his tail was harshly pulled up, forcing him to raise his ass a little higher, the king hummed in approval, licking his lips at the sight.
"Don't worry, shads! I'll take good care of you.." Both hands wrapped around his waist, nails digging into the flesh.
If he had more patience, Sonic would've actually taken his time to prepare him for entry. But his cock was aching, begging for release, begging to knot and to destroy one of his best friends, a person who was his rival once.
How time flies. His mind was too clouded over to even pay attention to the cries, the screams, the sobbing that happened beneath him once the head of his cock breached that tight and unprepared ring of muscle, if he were any amateur, he would've busted right then and there.
Shadow just felt that good.
Shadow on the other hand, felt like a hot knife had been stabbed through him. Blood mixing with his own slick creating the perfect lubricant, but it wasn't any less painful. "St-Stop! Sonic please, take it out! " He squirmed underneath the king, hands digging into the bed sheet below him.
Wasn't this what he fantasized about? About having no control?
He hated it, he hated it. He hated it. He hated it .
"It's too big! I'm going to die.. I'm going to die!" He sobbed loudly, screaming when Sonic finally bottomed out.
The knight was completely full, back arched, tail raised instinctively, his own cock threatening to leave its pouch.
But why? How could his body feel even an ounce of pleasure?
"Shh.. Don't worry.. I'll treat you right, okay? Fuck you're so tight Shadow.. I'll break you in, okay? I'll make you love it, I'll breed you so good.." Sonic slowly, and agonizingly, started to pull out fully until only his tip remained, before plowing back in at full force, knocking the air right out of the poor knight squirming beneath him.
It was hell.
He felt impossibly full, bile rose to his throat and he had no control over it.
The knight vomited on the bed sheets, clumps of his last meal shamefully staining the bed, Shadow's sobs were louder, crying out little apologies once the thrusts became much harsher. More punishing.
He felt his quills being pulled, head being slammed into the pool of his own mess being soaked up by the bed. "Look at what you did Shadow! You're fucking disgusting" The king snarled, claws digging even more ferociously into the knight's side, digging so deep it threatened to touch bone.
It felt like hours of being used, thrusted into, filled, unfilled, filled again.
Shadow stopped crying after a while.
Shadow stopped fighting.
The only sounds he made were soft grunts, groans, and the occasional moans that happened here and there when Sonic's cock brushed against his own bundle of nerves.
It was on purpose, Shadow knew it. The bastard purposely avoided pressing into that one spot, only soft teasing brushes enough to build up his high, but never enough to finally cum after all this abuse.
He wanted to cum, he really fucking wanted to.
"S-sonic.." The knight groaned, turning his head just the smallest bit so he could finally look into those cold dead emerald eyes. Surprised to see that Sonic was staring intently at him, as if he had been waiting for Shadow to finally break.
"What is it?" He asked with a devilish smirk, thrusts now long and hard , for once, he gave one hard thrust into his prostate, making the knight cry out.
"Please.. Please .. I want to– " Shadow bit his lips, eyes closing at the sensation of Sonic stilling his movements right at his spot, that spot he wanted more than anything to be abused. To be pounded into, to be fucked with no remorse.
"What do you want, my sweet little omega?"
Shadow had to control the snarl that threatened to escape him at that, so demeaning just to be referred to by what you are. He fucking despised it.
"Cum– let me cum. Please " he pleaded anyways, hips attempting to move back against the other's cock, but the hands around his waist completely stilled him, making the knight whine.
"Only if you say you're mine.. I'll fuck you so good, only if you say it ."
Red eyes glared at green ones, of course Sonic would be this cruel. To make Shadow lose what little dignity he had left for the sake of sweet, sweet release.
"I-I'm yours.."
His king shook his head, obviously not satisfied with his answer, he kept painfully still when shadow wanted the bastard to keep plowing into him for once. To keep ruining him.
"You're not stupid, i know you aren't. So be a good boy and tell me correctly." Sonic now took it a step further, pulling out completely from Shadow's now gaping and wanting hole. Choosing to settle his cock between the other's ass now.
The knight audibly growled at the sudden emptiness, red eyes now avoiding those disgusting green ones that once brought comfort in the past. How did it come to this?
But no matter where he looked, another pair of green eyes stared at him.
This time much sadder, exhausted, hollow and emotionally dead.
Amy had regained consciousness not so long ago, but remained unmoving, breath now more shallow. Tears staining her peach cheeks.
Something inside Shadow made him raise his quills defensively, ears flat against his skull. He couldn't stand her staring . He bared his teeth at the pink hedgehog, almost possessively. He was sure Sonic had noticed her finally waking up, though he said nothing. Choosing to completely ignore her despite her desperate need of medical attention in favor of focusing solely on his Knight, his omega.
Something akin to pride swelled up in Shadows' chest.
He stared right at those defeated pale green eyes, "I'm yours, alpha.. Im yours, please -" He moved his hands, hands now spreading his own ass for Sonic, pleading with him to just finish what he started. To ravage him, to destroy him. To fuck him until he suffered the same fate as the pink one. To fill and to breed, to make him bear his own fucking children if he wanted to. Anything. "Fuck me, Alpha.. Please fuck me. Knot me, fill me–" Sonic growled, low and dark. Wasting no time in thrusting back into the knight fully, this time thrusting hard and fast into the omega's prostate, making sure he was so sore he couldn't fucking walk.
Chaos , he was going to make sure Shadow's insides always remembered the shape of his cock, and his cock only.
Shadow cried out, his own dick hard and ready for his own release, his ass aching with the want to be knotted, to be filled. " Fuck, fuck! Harder!"
Sonic complied, giving it to him hard and good until Shadow was just spewing nonsense. Needless to say, he was proud of his handy work.
He never thought Shadow would be such a slut, such a nice whore for him. Hell, when they first met Shadow wanted nothing but to kill him. Albeit he had memory issues at the time, but Sonic never thought it would come to this.
How far down from grace has the ultimate lifeform fallen. It was a sight to see.
A loud scream brought sonic back to reality from his thoughts, Shadow had finally cum. Panting, writhing, twitching like the pathetic whore he was. The sight itself makes him lose his cool, his knot getting fuller and fuller by the second.
It was getting increasingly hard to fully thrust out as the knot got bigger, soon they would be locked together if he wasn't careful.
He would always pull out with any other omega he laid with. Why was this any different?
The king gritted his teeth, leaning down to hold onto the knight's shoulder with his teeth as his own climax drew near. He knew he didn't want to mark Shadow, so the shoulder would do for now to satisfy that need to claim the omega.
He drove his cock deep and good into Shadow one last time, his knot getting too big to fully exit now. All he could manage to do were quick little jarring thrusts as he panted through his teeth, cumming deep inside his beautiful knight, filling him up so good cum threatened to escape the sides of his knot that so desperately tried to keep everything in.
Shadow screamed brokenly, tongue outside of his mouth as he felt that warm thick cum finally invade his insides, painting them white.
He loved the feeling, fuck he loved it so much. He wiggled his hips a little, earning a moan from his king above him who finally let go of his shoulder, breathing heavily.
"So much.. Too much." Shadow muttered to himself, red eyes now hollow. Absolutely broken.
The king grinned, grabbing at Shadow's quills to raise his head.
"We're not done yet, Shads… we have a whole week ahead of us"
All the knight could do was shudder in response. He had no choice in the matter, after all.
♛┈⛧┈┈•༶༶•┈┈⛧┈♛
Above the king's chamber, Silver and Knuckles guarded the door in complete silence.
Silver didnt dare say a word to knuckles, afraid the echidna would blame him for everything that happened.
Silver wouldn't fault him if he did, how would've he known sonic would go this far?
Knuckes stared at the tiled floor, grip threatening to split the spear he held close to his chest. He should've done something, why did he listen to all those screams, those pleads and did nothing about it?
Sonic would pay. He would make sure of it.
