Gwayne dismounted his horse, his boots sinking into the mud of the courtyard whilst he walked towards the Red Keep. Gwayne's omega niece was to be mated to some far off Lord during her next heat which was set to come in the next week.

And Gwayne wished to wish her well with her soon-to-be-husband, she was his niece and he knew very well how hard it was to get comfort when you were a Princess, your mother always doting on your siblings and then father, with so little time for you.

It made Gwayne slightly irritated, those boys Alicent doted on were not worth her time. Her daughters needed their mothers love the most, luckily the thirdborn boy was thriving in Oldtown without his mothers affection.

Gwayne blinked back into reality once he was opening the door to his niece's chambers, a smile on his lips as he opened his mouth to greet her.

"Princess-"

Gwayne cut himself off as a scent overwhelmed his senses, his body freezing in place as he scanned his niece's chambers.

His niece was in heat a week early.
