Poor Oliver.
Normally, I delight in pain, but seeing my Omega writhing and squirming in his nest just shatters my heart.
Barret and I are trying. We have given him our knots, but it's not enough. He needs all his Alphas with him.
So far, Gryphon has stayed away, but he's going to have to rejoin us again soon.
I don't think Oliver can last.
Omegas can die after all if they don't get the help they need for their heats. It's why it's imperative that we do all that we can to keep them safe.
It's what me and the guys were trained for. Catering to an Omega's needs and keeping them alive and comforted.
Barret bounces Oliver on his lap, kissing his bite mark tenderly. I feel it through the bond, but still⦠it's not enoughâ¦
Oliver is locked on Barret's knot, but he grimaces in pain, baring his teeth. "N-not enoughâ¦"
His face glistens with sweat, and he looks feverish rather than satisfied.
So I reach forward, stroking my finger along his chin and purr.
It doesn't soothe him.
Oliver grips my shirt, gazing up at me with unfocused eyes.
I don't think he can even see me right now. His eyes are blown out and delirious.
He has to touch my face to confirm it's me. "Lachlan⦠Lachlanâ¦"
I purr for him again. "I know, I know⦠we're going to help you get through this, Ollieâ¦"
He whimpers, squeezing his eyes tightly, and he never lets go of my shirt. "F-find⦠find Gryphon⦠p-pleaseâ¦"
I nod. "On it."
It seems Oliver and Gryphon's little fight is over. Oliver forgives him enough to let him back into the nest.
An Omega can only be so angry at their Alpha for so long.
I rush around the house in search of Gryphon. It takes me a while, but I soon find him sitting alone in the living room, gazing into the fire.
He has two fingers of whiskey in his glass.
"Gryphon⦠it's Oliverâ¦"
The Alpha huffs a heavy breath, rubbing between his brows. "He doesn't want me."
I shake my head. "No⦠he asked for youâ¦"
He looks up at me with hopeful eyes.
"Gryphon... I don't think he will last the nightâ¦"
The Alpha jumps into action. He downs his whiskey, and we both run back to the nest.
Barret has finally unlocked himself from Oliver. Now our Omega lies on the green sheets, curled up like a prawn.
He's whimpering.
His honeycomb scent is bitter and acrid, and I wrinkle my nose.
I have never felt so helpless. But it's fine now.
Gryphon is here.
The Alpha purrs, moving to our Omega's side at once. "It's okay. I'm hereâ¦"
Oliver opens his eyes, searching the nest when he hears his voice. "G-Gryphon?"
"Yes, Ollie, it's meâ¦"
He pants for breath, closing his eyes. "Oh, thank fuck⦠it hurts⦠"
"I know, but I'm here now. I will take away the painâ¦"
Oliver whimpers again, letting Gryphon take him in his arms, and it seems all is forgiven between them.
Their bond re-connects, and Barret and I release simultaneous sighs.
Never again.
From now on, if Gryphon and Oliver want to fight, then they talk things through.
