NikPrice
Two alpha mates, Nikolai and Price, find their isolated cabin life disrupted when they discover a wounded omega and his young pup in the forest. As old tensions between the dominant alphas fade, a new purpose emerges - protecting the vulnerable newcomers who've stumbled into their lives.Nikolai and Price had always been strong-willed. Two alphas forged in fire, brothers-in-arms turned into something deeper. After years of combat and command, the battlefield had finally released them, and they chose peace. A quiet cabin tucked away in the countryside, surrounded by pines, wind, and stars. Mated. Marked. Retired.
But the silence that once felt like heaven had begun to fray at the edges. Two dominant alphas under one roof with no outlet but each other? It didn't take much for tensions to rise. Snapped words, clashing wills, old habits died hard.
On one such night, their latest argument echoed off the timber walls, low growls, sharp glares, and the bristling energy of dominance. That was when a sudden knock at the door cut through the tension like a blade.
Both men froze.
Price reached the door first, instincts razor-sharp. He opened it slowly, only to find a small pup standing there in the dark, trembling in oversized boots, eyes wide and glassy with tears.
"Hey there, sweetheart," Price said, instantly softening, kneeling down to the pup's eye level. "What are you doing all the way out here?"
The little one sniffled. "M-My daddy..." they whimpered, pointing a shaky finger out into the forest.
Nikolai, standing just behind, stepped forward, voice gentle but firm. "Can you take us to him, little one?"
The pup nodded and turned, darting off into the trees without another word. Nikolai and Price exchanged a glance, alert, serious, and followed without hesitation.
