Well. Since we are in this amazing sharing wips scheduale, I have this other wip (that i also will work in the future trust me guys) that came to me through a dream (actually through this tweet and this post);
A Historical/Regency period (plus a bit of ABO, not that important in the plot) in which the Hale Family (a dukedom or some other high ranked family) have control of most of the South; hot and warm, full of beaches and, the main reason why they were given that territory, monsters. One would think that the were-creatures are already terrifying, being able to fit perfectly into their very normal and common lives, that’s it, if they ever have the pleasure of never meeting those things; deformed, with more limbs than any being, immune to wolfsbane venom, irrational. These man-eating creatures do not hide. No, they run — in the woods, in the deserts, near the volcanoes. They can appear anywhere the sun can touch, but run from the cold like they never would when facing an army. The only thing that separates them from the rest of kingdom is the long wall the Hales protect.
Until one appears in the far north.
Bigger than a grown horse, stronger than a rhyno (which says a lot), trotting around like those lands were made for him. With a thick layer of fur covering it’s body instead of scales.
Adapting. They were adapting.
The empire descends into chaos. Tons of people were hurt in the attack and much others were dead. What was left of them can barely be called bodies. Unlike the always wary people from the South, the people from the North never had to worry about any other natural disaster besides the freezing cold and occasional earthquakes. Because no matter how they look, those monsters are exactly that: nature. Born to eat what it hunts, just to one day die and return to the earth.
And yet... and yet they look so, unnatural. So far from reality and terrifying. And so fitting, at the same time. In it’s abilities, the colours in their bodies, the way they move. They are just like any other animal, now evolving to the territory they need to learn how to live in.
But measures need to be taken. The monsters already have a good part of the deserts and torment the South from summer to summer, they can not allow it to take the North. The North where there are the mines filled with rare and powerful, magical, jewels. The North where the Capital is located. The North ruled by the Stilinski Family.
The Hale and the Stilinski families have a long business relationship. The Hales send to the North whatever part (if not the whole body) of the monsters they kill, and the Stilinskis send to the South whatever magical artifact they produce. This relationship goes for so long now that the Hales can't even remember anymore what the Stilinskis do with the monsters, but it's not like their use of the artifacts is being monitored either.
The Hales protect the land, and the Stilinskis protect the Hales. It’s a saying just as long as their relationship.
The king calls for a meeting to talk about this new problem. Talia, the alpha of the Hales, leaves her heir to take care of the land and goes with her oldest son to the Capital. Derek is the general of the Hale army, the one that commands all the attacks and kills most monsters.
Talia already went in warmer seasons to the Capital, but not even her was ready to the coldness of the North. It’s almost commical to see a bunch of werewolves shaking from cold, but the time is not really the best for laughter.
The room is filled with nobles and high ranked people, screaming and stressed and Derek is fighting back a growl during it all. It’s a total chaos, and then, silence. Not really sudden, but gradual.
One by one the nobles shut their mouths and turn to the person that started talking — pale, with dark moles making beautiful patterns on his skin (Derek’s eyes always goes back to the one right on the corner of his mouth, inviting), big brown eyes and even darker hair, tied into a loose ponytail that falls on his shoulder. His thick and dark clothes, with a distinctive fur pattern that Derek remembers seeing only on the monsters he kills, cover him from neck to toe, and his gloved fingers tap rhythmically on the table, stopping only when his voice is the only one in the room.
He has a presence that draws and keeps all eyes on him, and his voice is calm, never getting higher than necessary, as well his expressions, never faltering to the sneers of the old hags that aren’t under his spell. "Dirty omegas", one of them mutters under his breath and Derek grows stills, eyes fixed of the one talking.
A human omega. There is a fairly high amount of omegas in the South, between magical communities. But in the North? In the North even human alphas are unccomun and the mere status of omega can take people from the dumps to luxury. However, the last time he heard of a noble omega was when-
— What do you wish to do in this situation, Mr. Stilinski? — the general of the North asks slowly, almost reverent, and Derek flexes his hand under the table as recognition dawns him.
The man, a Stilinski, smiles for what might be the first time, thin and clearly fake, although Derek can clearly hear how his heartbeats grows faster, anxious. His eyes falls on Derek immediately and there is a calculating glimmer on them, pinning him down like he isn’t the werewolf in the equation.
— If the Hales are open to it, I would like to propose a union. Nothing different from what we already have, right?
The Hales protect the land, and the Stilinskis protect the Hales.
Simplifying: Stiles, an omega and heir to the Stilinski dukedom, is on a mission to hunt find a decent alpha. Like, genuinely going through sheets of possible suitors, until he goes to the palace and lays eyes on this handsome southerner and decides that this will be his prey. Meanwhile, Derek is feeling like a blushing maid that just discovered sex, because this man gets horny about everything Stiles does.
Stiles is pretty crazy too. He will torture whoever disrespect him/his family, uses monsters fur to make coats, eat their meat and drinks their blood. He doesn't need help with anything, unless Derek is around, then he suddenly can't even open a jar.
He also got some powers. Like, Claudia was some kind of magical being that sucks the life/magic of other beings, so that's why they started asking for the entire bodies of the monsters. Stiles in particular lives hungry; he genuinely starts tweaking if he doesn’t eat some monster meat for more than a week. Derek will happily feed him.
The fact that he is an omega doesn change anything – it actually makes him more dangerous, because he can lure his prey with his scent and kill in front of a orchestra and no one would ever bat a eye at him (i mean, he has some crazy magic, is the richest noble in the whole kingdom, manufactures the weapons that kill the monsters in said kingdom and the ones around, and has a fame of cutting off the hands of those that disrespects his family. He's just that guy, you know?
