ERIK

Cindy’s shriek from the bathroom scared the absolute shit out of me. Whatever cobwebs had been hanging on to my brain vanished instantly as I leapt out of the nest and caught myself on the doorjamb of the bathroom. Panic circled in my chest and sank its horrible little claws into my body.

“What’s wrong?”

“We bonded, you son of a bitch! That’s what the fuck is wrong! Where are your cuffs and collar?”

I clung hard to the doorjamb, realization crashing over me like ice water. Where were they? I stared down at the bite mark on my wrist. I pushed my way further into the bathroom and stared with dawning horror at the matching bites on each of our throats. “Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!”

“Yeah, no shit,” she snapped. “Didn’t they cover that in your training?”

“I—” I swallowed hard. “They did. I forgot.”

“You forgot!” she shrieked again. “You can’t forget things like that! Fucking hell. We can’t undo this. What are we supposed to do?”

I had no fucking clue. They had engrained so much safety training into us, but I hadn’t taken her seriously when she’d told me she was wild in her heats. Now we were as good as married, more than, honestly. You couldn’t get an annulment for a bond gone wrong.

“I’m sorry,” I murmured.

That explained the whispers in the back of my head. Our hearts beat in time, both too fast. I couldn’t fix my fuckup, but I could make sure she wasn’t hurt further by it.

I gathered her close, though she fought me every moment until I squeezed her, my growl making her stiffen before she finally relaxed. I breathed in the sharp cinnamon-heart scent and willed my purr to life. I had fucked up both of our lives with a few moments of hubris.

I was never going to be allowed to be a heat helper again. They would strip my license the moment they found out and there was no way I couldn’t tell them. They would know. Fuck, everyone would know. My mom would cry, my friends would tease me until I died, and I wasn’t sure what they would do with my nursing license. Maybe they would take that away too.

“I’m sorry,” I repeated over and over. I wished so fucking bad that I could undo what we had done. It wasn’t her fault she had bitten me. That was an omega’s natural inclination; it was my fucking job to keep that from happening.

Eventually she was the one soothing me, her omega purr bringing down my heart rate, her scent turning soft as she held me. “Hey, I’m not going to say it’s okay because it’s not, but please don’t freak out this hard. We can figure things out. I hope, anyway.”

I couldn’t see how. What the hell did I have to offer someone like her? She was fierce and independent, and she had established a whole life for herself before I bulldozed into it. I was just getting my start in life. It
