Isca seemed a little distracted today. He spent the day with us on the farm, trailing around after either Talius or myself. He never wandered far from us anyway, but today he stayed even closer than usual. He was quieter too, and although he spent most of his time with me, when I snuck surreptitious glances at him from time to time, I caught him looking at Talius sadly.

Was he still worried about the thing that had happened with Talius while I was away?

I wasn’t mad at him at all. I understood he had a complicated background. His understanding of rules and boundaries was different. Hell, his pack was different. And he’d been embarrassed and horrified when he’d realized.

I wished I could tell him how much we wanted him to join us as our third, but it wasn’t fair to lay that on him when he was bound for life to his vile mate.

“Are you okay?” I asked him eventually.

“Kind of,” he replied, not very convincingly.

“What’s bothering you? Are you still worried about the other night?”

He flushed a cute pink colour.

“No, you guys were really understanding about that. I… no, it’s just I, I’m worried I might be getting close to my heat.” He lifted sad eyes to me. There was a silent plea in them. “I don’t know how many more of them I can take,” he admitted quietly.

I stepped up to him and wrapped him in my arms. He laid his head on my shoulder.

“I wish we could help you,” I whispered, nuzzling the hair around his ear. He smelled good. Fresh and sweet, like the kind of guy he was. How anyone could hurt this guy was beyond my understanding.

“Me too,” he said sadly, “but there’s nothing you can do.”

When eventually he stepped back from me, he turned away. Even with his back to me, I could tell he was swiping at his eyes. I bit my lip. There really was nothing we could do to help but the situation seemed so wrong. No omega should be so afraid of his heats. And no omega should be afraid of his mate.

When it was time for Isca to go home in the late afternoon, he hugged me tightly.

“Thanks for being such a good friend,” he said.

“Likewise,” I told him.

He was about to leave, when he pulled me in tight again and kissed the side of my head. He didn’t say anything, but my skin prickled. It felt like a farewell.

Uneasy, I watched him walk across to Talius, who was working near one of the compound fences. I saw Talius hug him, and Isca wrap his arms around him, holding on tightly. Talius bent down and kissed him on the top of his head and said something. I probably could have heard it if I’d tuned my wolf’s ears to it, but I decided to let them have their private moment.

It looked like Talius was comforting Isca. Something was wrong, and I hoped my mate was providing him the reassurance he needed.
