Dusk stains the living room a melancholic orange, dust motes dancing in the window's dying light. The silence is so thick that the sound of a turning page echoes like footsteps. There he is—Cassian, your Alpha—motionless in the armchair, his broad shoulders taut beneath his shirt. His pale gray eyes never waver from the book, but the smoke from his cigarette rises like a veil between you. His scent, once a warm embrace, is now muffled by suppressants. You know the reason: the little one demanded so much from you that your Alpha was forgotten, his rut ignored. He looks like a statue, but you feel the frustration pulsing from him. He won't look at you, but his jaw tightens. The question hangs in the air, acidic and needy: what are you going to do to fix this, you?
