Silas

Stonecrest was six blocks away. Six blocks was a long way to travel with an omega going into heat. Elijah was already breaking down and they hadn’t made it out the doors of the restaurant—what was he going to do in the real world, with crowds and traffic and the unpredictability that came with being outside?

Stonecrest was six blocks away, but Silas’ condo was only two.

“Where are we going?” Elijah whispered in a shrill voice as Silas directed him down the street.

“I’m taking you to the closest safe space,” Silas replied. “It’s just two blocks. You can do that for me, right?”

“Yeah.” Elijah pressed more firmly against Silas’ chest, nearly shrinking into him. It was clear that he was terrified. At this rate, they never would have made it back to Stonecrest safely.

Inside the quiet of Silas’ condo, he could put Elijah to bed, then call Stonecrest, and explain what had happened. Two of the omega counselors would arrive with a car, and they’d take Elijah back with them. To try to navigate the streets with an omega so spooked and vulnerable would be irresponsible. Taking Elijah back to his condo wasn’t much better, but it was the kinder of two options. Elijah needed a safe space more than he needed morality.

The problem was, Silas wasn’t sure how long he’d be able to guarantee safety.

An omega in heat was a constant temptation. Lesser alphas, like the one in the restaurant, weren’t used to suppressing their inner nature when confronted by the onslaught of pheromones. Elijah’s heat was only just beginning, but already it was powerful enough to entice those genetically disposed to it. Silas had been through years of omega rehabilitation training, and it wasn’t his first time dealing with a difficult situation. The techniques he used to keep his mind from turning feral were working for now, but the key to keeping himself from reacting to a heat cycle was to isolate himself from its source as quickly as possible. The trouble was, Silas didn’t want to distance himself from Elijah.

He never wanted to part from him again.

Pressed against his chest, nuzzling faintly against his shirt, hands gripping the cotton for fear they’d be parted, Elijah adhered to him. His pheromones soaked into Silas’ shirt and tempted him with every breath he took. The front of his pants had begun to tent. Silas recognized each sign, but there was another troubling symptom he’d never experienced when dealing with heat before—for the first time in his life, Silas thought about what it might be like to have children.

His mother had been after him and his brothers for the last few years about finding someone to settle down with. She’d raised the three of them while she was still young, and Silas knew she wanted the same for her sons. It felt like every other week, the topic of finding someone fertile to settle down with came up in conversation.

Last week, hadn’t he fantasized about Elijah pregnant with his child? Silas
