Eddie woke up with his teeth already brushing skin.
When a freak storm hooks the 118 into a mutual aid mission in Nashville, a lack of hotel rooms leaves Eddie and Buck sharing a single queen bed. It should have been fine. They're partners, best friends, co-parents. But when one of Buck's medical patches peels off in the night, the artificial Alpha scent Eddie has known for years vanishes-replaced by the intoxicating, unmistakable sweetness of a hidden Omega.
For years, Buck has worn muscle and swagger like armor to survive a world that would strip him of his turnout gear. For years, Eddie has buried a quiet, desperate hunger for his best friend, believing the math of two Alphas was a collision course they'd never survive.
Now, the secret is out, the tension is suffocating, and a dangerous rescue operation forces Eddie's protective instincts completely into the light. Buck is ready to transfer stations to protect the team, but Eddie has no intention of letting him go-not now that he finally has a real chance.
