Jeremiah stared at Everett’s smile longer than he should have, unwilling to look away from the soft crinkle of his eyes. His stomach tightened, something embarrassingly pleasant beneath his skin, making him nervous and giddy.

And God was it mortifying.

“It’s funny how this seems to be our first good conversation,” he mumbled, eyes flicking to the side.

“It is,” Everett agreed, his voice smooth. He dropped his hand from his chin and leaned back, a faint smirk on his lips. “It's good when you're not trembling with fear.”

“That was one time,” Jeremiah muttered, ducking his head immediately, cheeks burning. “I’m_,”

“Don’t apologize,” Everett cut in quickly, his tone surprisingly sharp.

Jeremiah’s head snapped up, startled. “How did you know I was going to—?”

Everett smirked, head tilting slightly, “I wasn’t sure but I guessed. Looks like I was right though.”

Jeremiah’s nose wrinkled. “Lucky guess,” he said with a pout, crossing his arms over his chest. “You shouldn’t get so cocky.”

    Jeremiah stared at Everett’s smile longer than he should have, unwilling to look away from the soft crinkle of his eyes. His stomach tightened, something embarrassingly pleasant beneath his skin, making him nervous and giddy.

    Jeremiah stirred slowly, his body weighed down with exhaustion. It ached all over, from his throbbing head to his heavy eyelids. It almost felt like someone had dropped a truck on his body.It took sheer willpower to pry his eyelids open. Even then, he remained still, his mind floating between waking up and dreamland, disoriented and foggy. It took him a few extra seconds to realise he was in his room.He frowned faintly, trying to push through the haze in his brain. His memories felt tangled and messy. It felt like there was something important he was forgetting, but the harder he reached for it, the further it went.Jeremiah exhaled shakily, his eyes fluttering shut again. The last thing he remembered was freaking out when Everett had made a bad joke. Everything after that turned into a messy blur of noise and blank spots.Did he pass out? Or perhaps fallen asleep?It was weird that the first thought crossing his mind was Everett. But it wasn't as weird as the fact that Jeremiah had

    Everett sat at the edge of Jeremiah’s bed, his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped tightly together like he was praying. Roman had insisted that Everett get some rest, but Everett couldn't tear himself away. His eyes followed the boy’s fragile form, watching the slow rise and fall of his chest. Even unconscious, Jeremiah looked so troubled, it was almost like whatever haunted him refused to let go even in sleep. The thought made his chest stir with annoyance and protectiveness.“I didn't know your brother was living with a human,” a familiar voice cut through the thick silence.Everett didn’t bother looking away. “Why are you still here, Roman?”The doctor shrugged casually from the doorway, though his expression remained serious. “Does the pack know about him yet?”Everett’s gaze flicked toward Roman, eyes narrowing with silent threat.“You’ll need to say something soon,” Roman pressed, folding his arms across his chest. “Before rumours start and people begin snooping around.”

    “Could you please stop pacing, Xander?” Everett growled, his tone low and sharp as his eyes fixed on Jeremiah’s unconscious form. He tried not to focus too much on the doctor’s hands moving across Jeremiah’s body to check his vitals. He forced his gaze away, staring hard at the opposite wall. He'll be fine, Everett reminded himself bitterly, though it did nothing to loosen the knot in his stomach. Xander’s steps faltered, cheeks burning in embarrassment. “Sorry,” he muttered timidly. “I’m just so worried.”Everett bit back the urge to snap. Instead, he exhaled sharply, his shoulders sinking as he slouched further into the chair beside Jeremiah’s bed. It would only make things worse if he began passing his aggression and frustration onto everyone. “How is he, Dr. Roman?” Xander blurted suddenly, breaking the heavy silence. “Why isn’t he waking up yet?”“Don’t rush the old geezer,” Everett muttered with mild irritation, his gaze slicing to his brother with warning.“Old geezer?” Roma

    He spun on his heel, bolting for the kitchen, his mind sharpened and itching for blood.If something was really something in there then he was truly going to tear it apart.Jeremiah stumbled out, just as Everett reached the kitchen entrance, crashing straight into him.Everett’s arms caught him immediately, wrapping tightly around his waist instinctively, shielding him with his body without a second thought. For a fleeting second, he felt the warmth of his mate pressed against his body, a feeling he hadn't known he was craving so desperately until now. Everett's eyes darted wildly around the dim space, ready to tear apart whatever threat had dared to get close to Jeremiah.But there was nothing.There was no shadow. No lingering scent of an intruder. Just Jeremiah collapsed against his body, shaking like a leaf in the wind.“He's in there. He's there,” Jeremiah cried, eyes darting around like a trapped animal.Everett froze, scanning the room again, every one of his senses heightened

    Everett wiped the sweat from his brow with the back of his hands, exhaling heavily as he padded quietly through the dimly lighted hallway.He had leapt at the suggestion of a night run the moment Xander offered it. He assumed that It would be a great idea, anything to escape the suffocating storm churning in his head.But no matter how far or fast he pushed his body, the frustration, the guilt, and the gnawing self loathe stuck to his bones like a second skin. His mind remained a suffocating mess.He was desperate for relief and peace, he desperately needed a break from himself, even for a second.His ears twitched as the faintest sound of movement echoing from further down the hall. He straightened, shoulders tense, eyes narrowing in the dark until they landed on the small figure quietly slipping into the kitchen.Jeremiah.Everett opened his mouth to call out but no sound came, not right away. Then it hit him, the faint restless uneasiness seeping into the edges of his mind. The bon
