Chapter Fourteen

CONNOR

Guilt was by far the most overrated emotion common to humans and shifters. It had made Connor's sleep more fitful than usual and it was still with him by the time sunlight streamed in through the hospital room window. Doc had already come and gone, giving him more pills to take home and an instruction that he should be fine to keep taking his current regime of sedatives as he went off the suppressants until further notice.

By further notice, Connor knew well what the doctor meant. Until he decided whether or not he was going to carry the thing inside of him that was probably the very reason his own body had turned against him. Granted, he had only gotten pregnant because he had gone into heat in the first place, but he was clinging to the hope that there was a solution to the human emotions that had plagued him ever since. The only thing holding him back was the antiquated pack law that insisted he tell the father. Mountain Ridge had become far more liberal when it came to the laws governing omegas than the other packs in the Council and most in the western half of the Federation, but it was still an antiquated reminder that a poor little omega couldn't be trusted to make his own decisions without guidance from a dispassionate alpha.

The thought churned his stomach as he sat up. Then again, it might well have been his stomach. The pills Doc had given him helped, but they didn't stave off the sickness completely. They just helped him not feel like he was going to die, an outcome which he thought might be preferable to his current predicament. The idea of facing Duke after their last encounter, especially since he hadn't been able to get the alpha out of his head ever since, was surely a fate worse than death.

Someone knocked at the door and Connor steeled himself for what was sure to be either an awkward encounter or an infuriating one. Doc had already discharged him, even though he'd been tempted to ask if he could just stay at the hospital. The door opened a moment later and Mel was on the other side. Awkward it is.

"Hey," Mel said, standing in the doorway with a duffel bag hanging from his hand.

"Hey."

The omegas stared at each other in silence for long enough that Connor became acutely aware of every minute sound in the room, from the scraping of the branches outside the window to the low murmurs of the staff down the hall.

"I'm sorry," they said at the same time.

The corner of Mel's mouth twitched in a half-smile. "I'm not sure why you're apologizing. I was the one who was a complete ass yesterday."

"I suppose you're entitled, given my track record."

Mel dropped the bag by the door and crossed the room, pulling his brother into a tight hug. "I'm sorry. You just got really fucking scary news, and I got judgy and preachy when you just needed someone to listen.
