Zoe:
I had been standing outside the room, waiting for Walkin to come out and tell me what had happened to Iris. I was not a child. I knew this was not how a first transition was supposed to go. She was a fucking omega, for fuck's sake. Or was she?
I tried to question Walkin, but I could not get any information out of him, especially when I noticed how badly injured he was. It hurt me to see.
He was trying so hard to make it seem like his pain was nothing and his duty was everything. He did not limp or admit he was hurting, but I knew he had to be. He was powerful as a royal beta, but he still had to feel pain.
So I stepped closer to get a better look at his wound, thinking I could bring him medicine if he did not want to shift and leave before Kash arrived.
That was when my husband arrived. The man who had been in my life for so long, yet lately I had begun to feel like he did not care for me the way I cared for him.
