A/N: I won't put notes at the beginning of each chapter through this story to try to explain everything to you.

I want to let you enjoy it and have it unfold naturally, without any preconceived ideas or 'warnings' from me. You are reading a story rated M for Mature...I figure you know what you're getting into with that. If not, please go read the documentation on ratings provided by FF website.

As a heads up though, I'm going to do a quick overview of possible references/themes that may pop up here at the beginning. After that, you're on your own to decide if you want to skip ahead at any point in the story past parts that are "too sexy" or "too violent". Just like any other story or book you might pick up and read. So here we go...

This story may include references to or inclusion of the following themes: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Non-Con/Attempted Rape, Violence, Murder, Sex

Oh, and I'll get the OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER out of the way right now as well: I don't own any rights to Death Note or anything even related to it. I just love writing fan fiction about it :)

Cheers!

L stared out the window of his private jet, knees pulled up to his chest on the seat. His thumb sliding back and forth across the outside edge of his lower lip. While his lips were smooth, his frustration clearly showed in his ragged and chewed thumb. The look of annoyance on his face clear as day.

To an outsider, it would appear that the young genius's mind was seeking an answer to a complex puzzle of sorts and not finding much success in his endeavor...which is something that rarely if ever happened to him.

"L, we should be landing soon. I do hope that your disposition has improved by the time we arrive."

L didn't turn his large ink black eyes to answer the older gentleman standing near the front of the plane. He was feeling rather childish at the moment and felt he'd let his actions speak for themselves. The "silent treatment" might be a bit immature to use around Watari, but given everything that had happened in the last 48 hours, how could he blame him?

Watari sighed and shook his head. He was used to L's stubborn behavior and had long since come to expect this from his relatively younger charge, "If you persist in this kind of behavior, it may be that your intended mate presents themselves as more mature than yourself, despite the age difference."

L gave him a sharp look and growled, "This is not up for discussion at the moment Watari!" His Alpha pheromones radiated out from his body in warning to the older male.

Anyone else would have been cowering. However, Watari was used to dealing with L over the years and was one of the few people who could be counted on to keep L focused in these situations and not back down. He just looked at him patiently and sighed.

"Just remember that this is an honor and is for the benefit of both countries. Her majesty and her council would not have chosen you as the candidate from Great Britain if they did not see that it would be a good match and represent them well. Instead of looking at this as something out of your control, try to accept that your status as a high ranking Alpha and the World's Greatest Detective comes with some perks..."

"Hmm, perks?...is that what they're calling Omegas these days?" L gave a small sigh and closed his eyes. "If I'd known all of my hard work would amount to this I might have been a bit more discreet in my accomplishments."

*48 hours earlier*

"How can I help you Prime Minister?" L's computerized voice and gothic L prominently displayed on the screen. The synthesized voice and images presented in communications never changed, but secretly the higher ups like the Prime Minister knew far more about L's identity than the public.

Though they may not know his face, they knew his status as an Alpha and strength within the packs, in addition to his numerous other accomplishments that were already public knowledge.

"Good Morning, L." The Prime Minister might not be able to see L, but L could see him and the man had a look that L had only seen a few times in his life. It was usually during the interrogation of sociopaths in the course of a case, when they were planning to launch a scheme that was truly manipulative in nature or attempt to use you for their own ends to accomplish that scheme.

L's large black eyes narrowed as he chewed on his thumb. This is not a good sign.

"Well, L, you may have heard we are in talks with Japan to finalize the treaty that will ensure a strong partnership and prosperity for both countries, including trade agreements in the long term." L was well aware that this was in development given his connections across the world. What does this have to do with me specifically, he wondered?

"Yes, Prime Minister, I am aware of this." L was anxious to see where this was going.

"We are pleased to say we have reached an agreement with Japan and just need to fine tune some of the details...that's where you come in L." The Prime Minister's smile was pulled so tight that he looked like a shark about to devour it's prey. L saw right thru the man's veiled attempt to be congenial (oh, how he hated politicians) noting the nervous sweat on the man's forehead, visible even thru the monitor.

"Can we get to the point Prime Minister? I have cases I need to get back to." There was a hint of a growl creeping around the edges of his usually monotone voice, as he was feeling rather impatient today. Maybe a direct approach would work with this man to speed things along L decided, as he picked up a plate of strawberry cheesecake that Watari had brought in for him.

"Ah, well, yes...uhm" the Prime Minister stammered nervously, "when treaties of this magnitude occur for countries, an exchange or more accurately I might say a union of two parties...erm...must be...um...arranged to solidify the treaty."

"Prime Minister could you please be more specific and stop tip toeing around?" L took another bite of his cheesecake. This was getting annoying now. The man was interrupting time that he should be spending on his cases...or enjoying his cheesecake at the least.

"Yes, L" The man took a deep breath and seemed to gather himself together a bit more in preparation to speak. L looked at the screen with a bit of amusement. This should be good, he thought.

"The treaty laws setup by the packs for both countries states that a match must be made between the two countries of a high ranking and/or highly respectable Alpha and Omega as a show of good faith to solidify the treaty. For past treaties, this has been accomplished thru royal marriages and such, but currently all the nobility in both countries are mated..." The Prime Minister's voice trailed off.

"So, Prime Minister, what do you need from me? Are you asking the world's greatest detective to find you some obscure English nobleman or woman to marry off to a Alpha or Omega from Japan?" L was annoyed. Of all the ridiculous things he could be asked to do with his time...he sighed and lifted another bite of cake from the plate.

"No, L. The Queen, her Council and the Packs have already decided who the next highest ranking and most respected Alpha that Great Britain can offer Japan as a match is: You."

L heard a crash below his chair where he sat with his knees against his chest. It took him a moment to realize that he had dropped what remained of his plate of strawberry cheesecake on the ground. His fork was still frozen in the air near his mouth to take a bite. He looked down to survey the damage on the floor and could only gaze longingly at the wasted confection splattered across the carpet.

Slowly, he began to wondered where a very pissed off growling sound was coming from... Oh...yes, that was coming from him.

L sat his fork down on the table, carefully controlling his actions lest he let his Alpha side completely dominate right now and put a fist thru the table or the fork thru the monitor.

"I-is everything ok, L?" The Prime Minister looked terrified, which made sense after hearing a crash and then feral sounding growling after conveying that message.

L wanted to say that everything was definitely NOT ok, but he also knew that if the Queen, council and packs had decreed something then he had no choice but to go along with it. He might be one of the strongest Alphas in Great Britain and he may be the World's Greatest Detective, but he was still subject to Queen, Country and Pack law. L did not like to lose and he looked at this as losing.

"Not really Prime Minister, but you expected that surely?" L angrily retorted, his composure lost.

The man laughed nervously, "Well, it's not the most conventional way to be mated, but not completely unheard of..."

"I don't have time to take care of a clueless Omega while I'm trying to work, my cases are very demanding and..." L began to try and explain to the Prime Minister

"I'm sure you will do just fine, L! Just as you do with everything. I don't have much info here, because this has all been moving quite rapidly! But I've heard that the Omega they've chosen from Japan is incredibly attractive, intelligent...uh...the name is Light, yes, Light Yagami." Interesting name L thought

"17 years old, not even had a first heat yet apparently. I've heard the wait is worth it with those ones L...wow, congrats, that should be exciting" The Prime Minister gave a knowing wink and lecherous grin towards the screen.

"17 YEARS OLD?" L couldn't help exclaiming. "Is that even legal?" He was 24 and he knew that many Omegas were often married at 16 or 17 due to their heats, but it still seemed so young to him.

"Heh! Of course! Besides, I've seen legal bonding age waived on Omegas as young as 15 before-"

"That's not my point Prime Minister! 17 is..."

"17 is completely legal, and it looks like the kid is turning 18 a week or two from now. What a great opportunity for a 'special' bonding occasion for the new couple to share together, hmm?" L didn't like the salacious smile that the Prime Minister gave him. Ugh, this man was making his skin crawl and wondering if he shouldn't investigate him for child pornography or sex trafficking.

"Prime Minister. Based on the age, description and social status you have so far provided, I'd guessing that this is likely some spoiled Omega princess who 'thinks' she's pretty smart and has skated thru life so far by batting her eyelashes and flipping her hair."

"No, no, I'm sure it won't be like that at all." The Prime Minister chuckled. He tried to laugh it off, but he knew that L was annoyed. He didn't want to piss the detective off, but jeez, it's not like having a hot, 17 year old Omega handed to you was a death sentence! Most men would kill for the chance to claim a young, beautiful and (by all accounts he had received) a very intelligent Omega. He knew L would come around with time, or at least he hoped he would once he'd met the Omega.

L's mind ran in circles as his toes nervously rubbed together on the seat cushion. Maybe I could get someone at Wammy's to 'babysit', so I can focus on work?

There had to be some alternatives to him monitoring or entertaining an Omega all day...what do Omega's usually do all day? He wondered. I should probably do some research...

"So, we'll need you in Japan in 2 days time to officially take home your new mate and given your need for anonymity, we'll forego an official mating ceremony and keep it all strictly paperwork for the legal side of things.

"Th-that's very sudden. I have quite a case load right now-" L stuttered out. Maybe I could buy some time...

This timeline is not negotiable and it's in the best interests of both countries to 'seal the deal' and get this finalized, L." It was clear the Prime Minister was firm on this point and there would be no wiggle room to maneuver.

The Prime Minister continued "There will probably be some written publicity, just no photos, since that's a no-no for you as well, we are all aware that you need to keep it strictly confidential" He smiled knowingly at the camera to L. "We'll send the details for the Japan timing thru the regular channels to Watari. Good day L." The screen went dark, effectively ending the conversation.

"L, is there anything I can get for you?" Watari's quiet and usually calming presence did nothing to loosen the white knuckled grip that L's hands currently held on his knees as he stayed hunched in his chair.

"No, Watari" L bit out in a snarl. "I will be quite alright, let's focus on the work at hand." He wasn't going to let some Omega get in the way of his work.

He was the first to admit that he was childish and liked to win, so he was not about to allow someone to come in and turn his life upside down. That would mean he had lost control. That would mean he had just plain LOST, which was unacceptable.
