Ray.As I stood alone in Brian's apartment, surrounded by the comforting scent of his presence, my thoughts wandered to the secrets I harbored. Secrets I longed to share with him, to unburden my soul. The silence was oppressive, weighing upon me like an unseen force. I paced, my footsteps echoing off the walls. How could I reveal my past, the shadows that haunted me? Just as I summoned the courage to confess, the doorbell pierced the stillness. My heart skipped a beat. Who could it be? I hesitated, unsure whether to answer. Brian wouldn't want strangers disturbing my sanctuary.When the doorbell rang again, I wiped my hands and strode toward the entrance. It would be the grocery delivery Brian ordered so I can use cooking to keep myself company. Except when I opened the door, I stood face to face with a beautiful omega. My breath caught.On the other side stood a stunning male omega, his features ethereal. Porcelain skin, raven hair, and piercing emerald eyes that seemed to hold a wor
Brian.As Brian gazed upon Ray's peaceful slumber, his heart swelled with an overwhelming sense of protectiveness. Ray's vulnerability was a beacon, calling forth Brian's primal instincts to shield him from harm."How could anyone dare to hurt you, my innocent omega?"Brian's thoughts whispered, his mind conjuring the shadows of potential dangers lurking in the world. Harm from strangers, emotional scars, physical pain – each threat fueled his determination to safeguard Ray and Tania. In this quiet moment, Brian's felt that his bond with Ray shone brighter, forged in the fire of trust and love."My omega, my responsibility," he vowed,"I'll keep you safe, shield you from the darkness."With steadfast resolve, Brian stood up beside him and called his private investigator to fortified their sanctuary, weaving a web of security measures to ensnare any threat. Home security systems hummed to life, personal protection plans fell into place, and emergency protocols stood at the ready. He ca
Ray.Twisted metal. Broken glass. The burn of acrid smoke in his lungs. Ray gasped awake, opening his eyes to a scene of horror. He was hanging suspended in the crashed SUV. The engine was on fire, the flames burning hotter.In a panic, Ray dropped down to the hood and scrambled on his side, kicking at the door to get it open. Each kick sent a jolt of pain from his foot down his leg.“Come on—come on!” He wasn’t dying in this fucking car. Not like this. Not in a blazing ball of fire.The back door creaked open and Ray scrambled out, crawling on hands and knees through the wet grass. Shoving off his knees, he swayed on his feet, turning to face the wreckage. He gasped for air, watching the flames spiral higher. The engine was gonna blow. He had to get back and save his parents. From behind, he heard the unmistakable sound of a chamber being racked in a gun. “You’re a real son of a bitch,slut,” a man growled.“Turn the fuck around.” Heart in his throat, Ray turned.Leon stood five feet
Brian.Brian sat at one corner at the company dinner, he was focused on the task at hand. He was in the middle of a critical project and couldn't afford any distractions. But when his phone rang, he knew he had to answer it. It was his best friend's Omega Lucas, calling."Hey, Lucas, what's up? Is everything alright?" Brian asked, trying to sound calm."It's Ray," Lucas said, his voice laced with worry."He's having a panic attack. Brian's world came crashing down around him. His omega, Ray, was his everything, and the thought of him suffering was unbearable. Brian's heart skipped a beat."We're at the entrance of the event," Liam replied."I don't know what to do, Brian.He can't breathe." Brian could hear the desperation in Lucas's voice. He knew he had to act fast."I'm on my way," he said, already grabbing pushing the documents into Liam's hand while the latter told him to go fast. He rushed to Ray's side, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios.What if Ray was hurt? What if he
RAY.I was enjoying the company dinner until Brian had to go and sorry somethings that had to do with his company out with Liam,his best friend and business partner.He left after apologizing and told me to stay with Lucas,Liam's Omega husband.That was when I saw him,Leon FernandezI searched for him, looked for his face amongst the sea of tuxedos and suits, and then stopped suddenly, my heart racing faster, when it landed on a familiar profile. One I hadn't seen in two long years.His face was fuller than I remembered, his hair shorter, his neck longer. But I'd never forget that jawline. Never forget those eyes that invoked pure terror in me. No way in hell would I ever forget Leon Fernandez.I was frozen. Torn between moving closer to be sure it was him and running far, far away. The oxygen in the room felt thinner. My lungs felt weaker.My legs were pipes of lead. Ray's mind went blank as he stopped dead in his tracks. His breath caught in his throat, and his vision began to blur.
BRIAN As Brian stepped into the plane with Liam, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over him. He had just returned from a long and grueling business trip, and he was eager to see his omega, Ray. Just as he was about to call Ray to let him know he that he will be arriving soon, his phone rang. It was Ricky, Ray's best friend. "Hey, Mr Brian," Ricky said, his voice sounding urgent. "I need to tell you something." "What is it?" Brian asked, his senses on high alert. "It's about Ray's's ex," Lucas said. "Ray told me few months ago about him feeling watched ,I looked into it and found out that the bastard Leon got out of prison seven months ago" Brian's heart dropped as he processed the information. Ray's ex, Leon, was a dangerous and abusive alpha who had hurt Ray in the past, altogether he didn't know the details except for the pictures of malnourished Ray when his ex was sent to prison. he wanted to know but he didn't ask Ray because he didn't want to trigger Ray .
