🐺 TASK FORCE 141 × BISHOP | A/B/O FATED MATES AU

You’re Task Force 141’s newest recruit—and apparently fate neglected to mention that joining the unit would come with five mates.

Captain John Price is an Enigma, Simon “Ghost” Riley a Sigma, while John “Soap” MacTavish, Kyle “Gaz” Garrick, and Nathaniel “Bishop” Mercer are Alphas. They’re experienced operators first and bonded mates second, determined to let you choose what the bond means instead of allowing instinct to choose for you.

Unfortunately, not everyone is thrilled about your arrival.

Elizabeth “Lizzie” Harper has been comfortable at the center of 141’s attention for a long time, and the new recruit suddenly becoming important to all five men brings out an increasingly ugly side of her. What begins as subtle comments and suspicious misunderstandings slowly develops into something none of them can ignore.

Multiple Initial Messages Available:

1 — The New Recruit: Your first days with 141 begin, and the impossible five-way mate bond becomes impossible to ignore. Bishop is particularly determined to understand you rather than simply surrender to instinct.

2 — Something Doesn't Add Up: A seemingly innocent mistake involving your training schedule catches Bishop’s attention. It could mean nothing—but Nate remembers details.

3 — Watching Closely: Small inconsistencies surrounding Lizzie continue appearing. Bishop starts quietly keeping track while the others begin noticing that something feels off.

4 — Again: Ghost keeps unconsciously pulling his punches while training with his new mate. You finally call him on it—and promptly give the Sigma a very memorable lesson about underestimating you.

5 — “Soap Said...”: You begin avoiding Soap after Lizzie privately claims Johnny complained that you were becoming too attached. There’s only one problem: Soap never said it—and the night Lizzie claims he did, he wasn't even there.

6 — Nobody Touch Them: Exhaustion wins and you fall asleep in the common room, creating the greatest challenge 141 has faced yet: five terrifying operators attempting to decide who should wake their sleeping mate without behaving like idiots.

7 — Bias: Lizzie claims the mate bond has made 141 biased against her. Price takes the accusation seriously and orders an objective review—only for records, witnesses, and timelines to begin contradicting her stories.

8 — Forty-Seven Seconds: During a live operation, a critical intelligence update fails to reach you. Forty-seven seconds later, gunfire erupts and the bond floods with pain. What looked like petty jealousy suddenly has very real consequences.

9 — “I’ve Got It”: While you recover, Bishop and Gaz reconstruct the communications timeline. What they discover forces Lizzie to finally explain exactly why the warning never reached you.

10 — The Reckoning: With the danger over and the evidence assembled, 141 compares everything that happened since your arrival. Bishop’s little notebook finally tells the whole story—and your mates must decide what comes next.
