Vernon stared blankly as Martha's body was wheeled into the ambulance. The wailing of the police siren echoed faintly in his ears as the world seemed to shrink around him.A warm jacket was draped over his shoulders. "How are you feeling, sweetheart?"The omega blinked, coming back to his senses. He looked at his husband who was standing in front of him. "Huh?""How are you feeling, sweetheart?" Xavier repeated and Vernon let out a sigh, closing his eyes."I don't know," he answered truthfully. When he opened his eyes, they were glassy with tears. "I should've known something was wrong and I just—"The omega exhaled shakily, fighting back a sob. "I'm... the worst friend ever.""Hey." Xavier pulled him into a hug, kissing the top of his hair. "You couldn't have known what was going to happen to her."He patted Vernon's back. "It's not your fault, baby. Don't blame yourself.""Excuse me?" An officer approached the couple and they turned. "Vernon Giordano?" "That's me," the omega answe

"We are very happy to have Michael with us," the woman stated. "His records show that he's an outstanding student and we hope that our school can help him build on that."Simon leaned forward, staring the principal dead in the eye. "My brother was bullied in his former school. I hope this school doesn't tolerate such behavior?"The principal didn't seem fazed by the question. She smiled. "Nexus Academy has a strict policy against bullying and harassment.""We know how taxing it can be on the affected student and also know that it can be a problem for them in the future, so strict measures have been put in place to prevent and punish such behavior.""You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Quinn."Mike watched as the adults continued conversing. The principal of his new school was polite and not in a fake way.She seemed... genuine.He blinked to see Simon in front of him, a worried look in his eyes."What?"His brother cupped his face. "If anyone bullies you, tell me about it.""Don't hi

"What will you tell Xavier when he finds out?" Theodore asked as they rode through the streets.Vernon exhaled quietly. "I don't know.""I just... hope that he'll understand."The alpha hummed, veering into the highway. "Xavier can be difficult sometimes but he only wants the best for you.""I know." The omega bit his lip worriedly. "I just can't stop myself from wanting to know about Martha.""She was my friend—""You're feeling guilty about it," Theodore pointed out. "That's why you're pursuing this.""Don't go too far and lose yourself in your guilt," he advised.The ride continued in silence and Vernon swallowed his words. He didn't want to start a conversation that will get him irritated.His brows furrowed in confusion as Theodore veered the bike off the busy streets and entered a lane that was unkempt and filled with potholes.The streets were rough and Vernon held tight as they kept hitting bumps on the road.Theodore, sensing his discomfort, chuckled. "These streets are rough

Vernon woke up to kisses on his neck. "Good morning," the omega whispered, curling into warm body pressed against him."Morning, sweetheart."Vernon opened his eyes and met Xavier's gaze. The other's expression was unreadable, though his eyes held an emotion that he couldn't decipher. "Are you still angry with me?" he asked, voice small."I'm not." The alpha chuckled, kissing his forehead. "You're very stubborn."Vernon smiled softly. "I'm sorry I made you worry. I didn't—" He traced a finger over the other's bare chest. "I didn't mean to.""I know." Xavier sighed. "I thought about it last night and I realized that you were just trying to help a friend.""I'd probably do the same if I were in your shoes."The omega kissed his jaw. "I didn't like you being angry with me."It wasn't a feeling he wanted to experience again."Is that why you didn't come to bed last night?" Xavier asked, lips twitching with amusement.Vernon nodded, lips in a pout. "I wanted to sleep in my former bedroom

"Xavier!" Vernon yelled in anguish, heart slamming against his ribcage as the sound of the explosion drowned everything else.The air smelled heavily of burning metal and gasoline but all he could see was the alpha's body laying motionlessly on the asphalt.The omega blindly rushed into the streets, uncaring about the moving vehicles and knelt beside Xavier. Vernon cradled the alpha's head, gasping when his hand came up with blood. A lot of it. The smell was thick and tears gathered in his eyes."Help!" he screamed. "Somebody help us!"The omega patted his husband's face. "Please don't do this to me, huh? Open your eyes, please!""Xavier, please..." His voice cracked as tears streamed down his cheeks.A small crowd had gathered, staring at the scene in disbelief and fear.A man pushed forward. "You should be patient. The ambulance is on its way."He crouched down and felt Xavier's pulse. "He's still alive!" he said and Vernon felt his chest lighten a bit."Please hang in there," he w
