Fanfic: Reign Me In, If You Can
Summary : Gwaine is the prized omega of the Kingdom of Lot, being the first son Gwaine had always expected to become an Alpha and rightful heir to the throne. When he manifests as an Omega however his younger brother Mordred is named as the heir.
As if being an omega was not enough, King Lot now plans to get him married to Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot who is an arrogant total bully of an alpha. Gwaine will be damned if he sits quietly and accepts his fate though.

"I can't believe he's doing this to me Merlin."
Merlin huffed "So you've said Gwaine, for the fiftieth time now?" Merlin's blue eyes were raised in annoyance at Gwaine.
Gwaine moved off from the bed they were both occupying, his lips forming an unseemly pout.
"You're supposed to be sympathetic Merlin."
"I have been…but what do you want me to say? I have no words to say to soothe you…"
Gwaine who had been pulling on his boots stopped and turned to look at Merlin incredulously, "Soothe Merlin? Really?"
"I maybe an omega but I hardly need soothing Merlin."
Gwaine's muscles rippled with his movements as he put on his tunic, the red perfectly contrasting with his dark skin. And Merlin could understand why Gwaine thought he didn't need comfort from anyone; Gwaine was a bit sensitive about his omega status though he'd had years to come to terms with it now.
"Who knows Gwaine, you might actually like him you know?"
Gwaine was all disbelief as he scoffed and flippantly said "He's Uther's son Merlin, the tyrannical bastard alpha who kills your kind in cold blood."
Merlin sighed and rested his head back on the downy pillows. "He may not be like Uther, word is that he's better than his father. All the people who've visited Camelot have nothing bad to say about him."
"I don't care if he's better Merlin, I won't be any alpha's bitch!" Gwaine threw back vehemently.
Merlin rolled his eyes again at how exasperating Gwaine could be at times, "You know the whole alpha omega thing is not all about sex or submission, there could be respect and love between and alpha and omega you know…"
"Between him and me Merlin? Not a chance…"
"How are you so sure? You haven't seen him in years."
"Oh, I've seen enough! He's just as entitled, arrogant and foolhardy as any other alpha prince I've met…" said Gwaine and then he paused adding "actually he's worse."
"Well he is the best warrior in all the five kingdoms, I think that gives him a little right to feel entitled."
"Careful there Merlin, you sound like you're swooning."
Merlin shot Gwaine a poisonous glare to which Gwaine only smirked, "I'm an alpha Gwaine, if anyone here is susceptible to swooning for Prince Arthur it's you!"
"TAKE THAT BACK!"
"Make me!"
"Oh you little…"
"Not little, as you well know Gwaine…" Merlin said with a sly glance.
"You dirty minded pervert…you Merlin…"
"Not more than you!"
"True enough."
"Slut"
"Are you complaining?"
"Not at all…"
Merlin turned serious then not wanting to say it but knowing it had to be said. "I do think we should stop our dalliances though…"
There was a quick flash of hurt in Gwaine's eyes and then anger but Merlin didn't miss the expression for what it was.
"Don't you want me anymore?"
Merlin shook his head directing an equal parts tender and pleading look at Gwaine extending his hand which Gwaine took albeit reluctantly.
"It's just not fair for either of us to keep doing this when we both know we won't be happy without a true mate."
"I won't be happy with Arthur either…and we're good, are we not? Are you willing to be celibate until your true mate shows up?"
Merlin took a deep breath; he'd sat up by this point and was eye to eye with Gwaine, he directed a guarded look at Gwaine before saying "What if he is your mate?"
Gwaine was stunned for a moment before he threw his head back and started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
Merlin was miffed when Gwaine wouldn't stop laughing like the loon he sometimes tended to be.
"Oh shut up! It's possible he is…"
"Oh no Merlin, it really isn't"
"Why not?"
"Why not?"
"Yeah why not?"
"Because Merlin, we'd kill each other and I've been around him before, I didn't recognize him as my mate."
"Things may have changed…"
"No they wouldn't have" said Gwaine with a finality that Merlin himself didn't feel.
"If you say so…"
"I do say so Merlin, now that we've cleared that up, can I expect you at my chambers tomorrow night?"
Merlin hesitated for only a minute before nodding his confirmation; he could not resist Gwaine or the temptation of his body.
As if being an omega was not enough, King Lot now plans to get him married to Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot who is an arrogant total bully of an alpha. Gwaine will be damned if he sits quietly and accepts his fate though.
