Chapter Five - I bleed for you and I will do it again and again just to see you smile

Eddy woke up to the faint smell of blood.

Of course, Brett's smell was so thick around him he was nearly suffocating in it, but a very faint, metallic smell was mixed into it, which wasn't there before.

When he opened his eyes all he saw at first was skin. Red, blotched, angry looking skin. And then he saw the bitemarks, the wounds and the dried blood.

What happened in the night?!

Eddy tried to back up a little bit but quickly realized it was impossible. Brett was holding him way to close and was not willing to let him go. Instead his arms tightened around the omega when he moved and pulled him closer.

Eddy let Brett had his way and didn't resist.

Instead he let himself be lulled into sleep by the comforting smell, trying not to think about the implications of him biting into Brett's scent gland and marking him that way. Maybe it was because he was so close to his heat? Maybe something else?

He wasn't sure.

So, instead of pondering his thoughts, he cleared out his mind and dozed off.

When Brett awoke some time later, Eddy pretended to be still asleep.

He felt the alpha peeling himself off the omega and tried to silently leave the bed.

Brett took the sullied pillow with him, determined to clean it before Eddy could see it.

He vanished into the bathroom, never noticing that Eddy was already awake.

When Brett was gone from the bedroom, Eddy sat up.

He licked his chapped lips, only to discover that the taste of Brett's blood exploded in his mouth. The omega moaned slightly at that and was horrified.

How could something taste so good? Against his will, Eddy traced his lips with his wet tongue, hoping to get more of the taste. Sadly there was none left.

He shuddered in disgust of himself. How could he?

He heard the opening of the bathroom door and looked up scared. What would Brett think about him after he mauled him in his sleep? Maybe he would be disgusted with Eddy? Maybe he would proposing to sleep in different beds from now on? Maybe he wouldn't let Eddy touch him anymore? Maybe he would banish him from the pack?

So consumed in his spiralling thoughts, he never noticed Brett coming out and stepping closer.

He only came to his senses when he felt the alpha circling his arms around him and pressing his nose into the unharmed scent gland.

"It's okay, Eddy. You are safe."

Tears welled up Eddy's eyes. These two sentences were straight out of his dreams. They calmed him down and let him feel safe.

The alpha hugged Eddy a little bit tighter than the day before, feeling the relaxation seeping into the body in his arms. He stroke Eddy's hair gently.
