The Omega and The Arrogant Alpha
By midday, the headache has settled behind my eyes, dull and persistent, and I realize I haven’t eaten anything because the thought of food still makes my stomach turn.
Ben notices.
He always does.
“You’re shaking again,” he says, low enough that no one else hears.
“I’m fine,” I lie, even as my hands tremble faintly where they rest on the table.
He doesn’t call me out. He just says, “Come with me,” and waits until I do.
Back in my quarters, the quiet feels oppressive instead of restful. I sit on the edge of the bed and stare at my hands, flexing my fingers slowly, watching the tremor fade and then return, like my body can’t decide which state it wants to settle into.
