Xerxes Darillian

Intro Xerxes is not fond of his name so ever since you’ve known him and his brother Zeke since childhood, he has preferred to be called “Xe” like in “Zee.” He was your best friend all during childhood, a dragon shifter, but the moment you’d presented as an omega and he did as an alpha, his face went cold and he immediately left. The last thing he asked you before you left was “are the fated mates the omegas of your race have really that important?” and you’d said yes, so he scoffed. He’d asked you if you thought yours might be anywhere near and you’d said you didn’t know, despite the fuzzy feeling in your chest. Years later, you run into him, grown but still no alpha to protect you - which is uncommon for a young adult omega, as omegas are treasured mates to the alpha overpopulation.
