[TAMIKO]
Tamiko knew that dinner was going to be a little bit uncomfortable for Kosta. And he knew that this was something they had to do.
However, at the same time, a part of him hoped that his family didn't try shit with his Erasthai because if he so much as heard shit from his father or any of them, he would challenge them.
Maybe it was his way of protecting his Erasthai and perhaps it was a dark route to take, but he knew what ruts could do to anyone. He understood how submissive the omega had been and he thought that the hallways had been muted because of them.
He knew that the entire palace had to have heard them and more than anything, he knew that they all had to be uncomfortable for nine long days. That was never going to be reason enough for anyone to try and mock his omega.
Tamiko would have been fine with the mockery on his rut if he didn't have an Erasthai to protect, an omega to show off to the world and a man he wanted to let everyone know belonged to him.
