Chapter 13

Eddy watched the flames dance around the metal. The only thing running through his head was holy shit I'm going to do it.

He glanced around his lonely kitchen. This was fine. He was doing the right thing, the omega told himself. Brett would be happier this way. And as for him, he'd just be... something. Whatever he'd be, it would be okay.

His phone was nearby, and so was Yoake for emergency.

"It's now or never," Eddy whispered to himself as he finally turned the lighter off and brought the metal closer to himself.

With the bow of his head, he could reach the mating mark. He took one last deep breath before pressing the rod into the bonding gland as deeply as he could. It was excruciating! The omega could even hear some of the skin bubbling around it.

From Eddy's lips broke a blood curdling scream, tears brimming in his eyes. But he couldn't stop here; he had to hold it until the bond was broken.

He hadn't cried since he was a little boy, yet here he was, sobbing pathetically. Anyone in their right mind would let go and stop. Eddy wasn't one of those sane people. He felt like he had to do it for things to be okay.

Yoake poked her head in through the open balcony doors, hearing her omega crying. It was obvious to her that this wasn't going to make anything better.

Eddy's gaze became unfocused, his whole body shaking, and sweat dripped down his face along with his tears.

Finally, he dropped the metal to the floor, but it wasn't the only thing that fell. The omega joined it with a hard thud - on his way down, he was able to grab his phone.

Lucky for his fading vision, he didn't need a password to unlock his phone.

Eddy somehow managed to speed dial Brett. He didn't expect an answer because of how cold the alpha was to him - which was to be expected - but his instincts told him to get his alpha.

"I'm scared," he cried to the device lying next to him. "I'm scared..."

The second time the cry was quieter and weaker. It resembled nothing of the fiery captain or omega Eddy was. He couldn't even hear if Brett answered or if Yoake was near. His vision was black, so he couldn't see these things, either.

"Brett...Yoake." He cried one last time before his end went completely silent. Only Yoake could be heard whining unhappily in an attempt to wake her owner up.

She crawled her way into the apartment, knocking furniture over and breaking some things in the process to get to Eddy. She got to him, gently grabbing him by his shirt to drag out the balcony door.

Brett was lying face down on his bed, focusing on the white noise his white noise maker made. He hated complete silence. Pudding was lying in his nest in the living room, letting his daddy know he was unhappy with him. The alpha didn't care.

His phone rang, and he turned his head. What was it now? Very disgruntled, he grabbed his phone and, without even looking at the caller ID, took the call. He wanted to gruff something, but he was cut off by a weak voice, a voice he had never heard sounding that way.

Eddy?! Before he could reply, the call ended, and he felt something through the bond.

It was pure pain. Excruciating pain. He gripped his neck, feeling the ghost pain on his own body, and stumbled out of bed.
