    Summary

    “Are you a gambling man, Will?”

     

    Will blinked. “I’ve never had the time or means.”

     

    “You have both now,” Hannibal spread a palm at his side, a strangely welcoming gesture. “You seek independence from an Alpha, but the opportunities only a bond could provide, correct?”

     

    Will nodded slowly, eyes narrowing as he flicked them between the doctor’s own. 

     

    “I seek a companion with whom to build a life and family, going forward.”

     

    Will shook his head slowly. “I don’t follow.”

     

    Will is an Omega who desires independence, freedom, and the opportunity to be anything but a barefoot-pup-bearing simpering thing. Hannibal is an Alpha who finds his mind curious.

    They make a deal: if Will can convince Hannibal before his next heat that he is worth more than breeding stock, and can go through his heat without begging for his Alpha, Hannibal will not mate him, but make him a ward instead; Will could go to college, get a job, do anything he wanted.

    If not, then he will be Hannibal's mate, bear pups, and accept his role.

    But is it really as simple as that?
