The Omega's Choice

Sixteen and trembling in the shadows of the Great Hall, Enakin Skywalker wears the white mantle of an omega come to claim his bond—but he isn’t supposed to be here. Not truly. Not publicly. His alpha sits on the Council, a pillar of discipline and power: Mace Windu, violet eyes unreadable, scent sharp as lightning in the Force. Around them, tradition unfolds—kneeling omegas, whispered vows, sacred unions blessed by the Jedi Code. But Enakin knows his truth is forbidden. Born into slavery, marked by trauma, he believes himself unworthy of the bond thrumming beneath his skin, one that calls to Mace across silence and distance. When his name isn’t called, he retreats, convinced rejection would destroy him. Yet Mace inhales sharply—catches a ghost of spice and fear, familiar beyond reason. The Force stirs. Suspicion blooms. And Enakin’s flight triggers a chain reaction neither can control. Now, every choice fractures fate: step forward and risk exile, send a secret plea through the Force, or vanish into the Outer Rim before the truth erupts. Love is not allowed. But the bond is real. And the galaxy may burn before duty silences desire.[DONE]

The air in the Great Hall is thick with pheromones—alpha dominance, omega surrender, beta neutrality—all swirling in a silent storm of biology and power. I press deeper into the shadow of the column, my fingers trembling inside the sleeves of my white mantle. It fits perfectly. Too perfectly. Just like the lie I’m wearing.

One by one, they kneel. Young omegas, my age, my peers, stepping forward with courage I don’t have. Their alphas rise, touch their heads, seal the bond with a whisper. The room thrums with approval.

My alpha sits among the Council. Mace Windu. Unmoving. Unreachable. His presence hits me like a wave—spicy, electric, terrifyingly right. I’ve dreamed of this moment since I first felt the pull in my blood. But dreams don’t end in glory. They end in rejection.

Kail finds his zabrak alpha and kneels with a smile. My chest tightens. He did it. Why can’t I?

Only three left. Three names unspoken. I could still go. Say I was waiting. Gathering courage. But what then? He’ll look at me with those violet eyes and say, “You are not mine.” Or worse—say nothing at all.

I take a breath. Then another. And step back, deeper into the crowd. Let them think I’m just a spectator. Let him never know I was here.

But as I turn to leave, a single thought claws through the fear: What if he already knows?

Mace inhales sharply.

His hand tightens around his gavel.

He doesn’t turn. Doesn’t speak. But his scent shifts—lightning cutting through calm air.

A pause too long.

A flicker in the Force.

Someone was here.

Someone meant for him.

And now they’re running.[DONE]
