“Good. Then after a week’s time, if you pass muster, we will sign a proper contract. Janos will discuss the details of your moving in. You will meet Anya today and make acquaintances. I expect her education to begin as soon as possible

No, that makes perfect sense! Wow, Charles is super impressive. Brian must've been proud. Does that make Anya an alpha or beta then?
And I loved Charles and Raven's relationship! You can tell they're a lot closer than either were with Emma, they were so sweet. Love Raven's rebellious princess attitude.
Also also love the scene between Erik and Charles! Erik is just skirting the line where he's couching his language neutrally, but still dips into dickish territory, I love it.

Author!Anon. Thanks, OP! Glad you're still enjoying this! Also, I have questions. I have no idea what I'm doing with this A/O thing. I just had to write it because it was a magnificent prompt, but I'm pretty lost at the moment in regards to A/O dynamics. For one thing, how does an alpha female work? Who gets impregnated? Can lesbian relationships exist as long as one female is alpha and the other omega? Can there be an alpha female and omega male? How does THAT work? Any help would be much appreciated...

I've seen a couple variations on the female alpha. One fill had a female alpha have sexual organs that would enable her to impregnate an omega if she so chose. And I think there was another fill specifically written for a female alpha with normal female body, but was still able to impregnate her partner? I don't really remember.
And yeah, I've seen a lot of A/B/O fills where lesbian relationships existed between alpha and omega couples, and alpha-females w/ omega males, and alphas with betas, etc, etc.
I think the short answer is, there's a lot of latitude to pretty much do whatever you want, and you can pretty much handwave away whatever you don't want to get into ;) You're doing a great job so far, btw.

Author!anon. THANK YOU for the guide and explanation, because that really cleared some things up. I'm going to handwave things around and call it creative license. Glad you're enjoying this!

I love this so, so much. I LOVE this. I can't even get over it. You write BRILLIANTLY, and your updates are coming so fast, I am quickly getting spoiled. The tone of this is exactly right, as is the pacing, and the way you've set up the dynamics between Erik and CHarles, and Charles and his mother/sisters, with the gossipy townspeople, and the mysterious and ominous Marko....just. UGH. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Author!anon here! Thank you so much for your wonderful input! I'm really glad you're enjoying this and that you think the pacing and tone are spot-on. Given that I've simply dropped XMFC characters into a pseudo-Regency era and proceeded to mess around with them, I consider that high praise. :)
You raise good questions, and I'll do my best to address them later! Also, eagerly anticipating Cain Marko doesn't make you a terrible person. I'm eagerly anticipating writing Cain Marko, just so I can torture poor Charles and have my fill of jealous!Erik, followed closely by rampaging!Erik. :D

Janos led him down to the playroom, where they found Anya arranging a group of dolls around her, sorting them seemingly at random. She was sitting in the sunlight on the floor by the large window on the far wall, disregarding the plush couch that occupied most of the left half of the room. She was a small, thin child with dark hair that was almost black and pale skin. When she raised her face at the sound of their arrival, Charles thought he could see something of Mr. Lehnsherr in her eyes

Charles flushed. Was that an accusation? He had meant no harm by teaching her the card tricks from his youth, but Lehnsherr must have seen it as teaching his niece how to play with vices that could drain her wealth in days. Damn it. Why had he not thought this through? He could afford no missteps here

XD Anya is a little devil )) but Charles is naturally good with children, no wonder she liked him after all. I'm also exited for Charles friendship with Anya! She probably is not such a happy child, she lost her parents after all, or she doesn't remember them?
Charles characterization is wonderfully done here, I'm amazed ♥
loved Charles+Raven relationship as well ♥
btw, if you're still curious about a/o dynamics, there is xmfc fic about a/o sex-ed http://archiveofourown.org/works/561948 XD obviously it's just one of many versions of how a/o works. I gathered male pregnancy, self-lubricating asses and knotting are sort of key points, everything else depends on author ))

Another update! :o That was fast, again. You spoil us, authornon. :D Not that I'm complaining of course, keep them coming!
Charles and Anya will get along just fine hm~? I like how even though Erik here is rich, there's all the mentions that he doesn't go for extravagance - Charles' observations of his decor, his dressing, customs towards eating with staff, and the contrast vs Charles old money family extravagance. Fits how I think of a rich Erik.
Still enjoying the C/E interactions. I look forward to reading how they slowly get to know each other better. Oh, and authornon, saw in another comment that you mention we can expect something of torturing poor Charles... "jealous!Erik, followed closely by rampaging!Erik" - those are *very much* to my tastes too! :D *eagerly waits for them to happen*

Awww. I love how obviously Erik dotes on Anya. Shows despite his gruff exterior, he's just a big ol' softie <3 I'm sure that Charles' relationship with Erik won't smooth out in one go, but hopefully he'll remember that part of him when his tongue gets especially sharp.
Tricky, Charles, are you sneak teaching Anya the colors of the rainbow? I see what you did there ;) OP still loving everything!
