Glad for the progress, Alpha Draven stood up and walked towards the large bathroom and turned around to see that the Omega was staring at him with a hand over his mouth.
He was looking around as if searching for something, a loud retching sound made him realise what was happening and immediately ran forward to lift him off the bed.
They didn't make it to the bathroom in time when the Omega suddenly expelled the contents of his stomach straight to the floor.
Alpha Draven continued to the bathroom when he stopped puking and propelled him against the sink.
Minutes later, maids hastingly cleaned everything up like it never happened.
Satisfied by the clean up, Alpha Draven knocked on the bathroom door.
He continued to knock for several more minutes and no response or sound was coming from within, it was almost as if no one was inside.
After a few more minutes of knocking, he gently pushed the door open and was shocked to see an empty space before him.
His heart skipped a beat, but he immediately dismissed any bad thought before walking further inside to check behind the screened shower curtain.
He met the omega seated on the floor of the shower at a corner in his usual position—knees folded to his chest and arms around legs.
His purple eyes looked up at the Alpha, fear evident in them. He shrank into the wall expecting a scolding or something.
"Why are you here? Are you alright?" Alpha Draven asked, his eyes roaming over the omega.
The vomiting had surprised him but he had blamed himself for not cautioning him not to eat so fast which had caused him to throw up the contents of his stomach because of starvation.
"Are you alright?" He asked again and went down to the Omega's eyes level to look at him properly.
"What the hell had happened for him to be like this?"
He thought while suppressing his anger at those responsible because his anger might scare him and he might misunderstand him.
"The bath? Do you still want to do it?" Alpha Draven asked and smiled softly at him while stretching out a hand.
The outstretched hand and his smile made the omega do a double take and turned his face away from him.
"The doctor is coming soon, you should be clean and fed when he gets here." He patronized in a soft voice as if talking to a child.
The approach worked and the Omega stood up from the floor but didn't move an inch from where he stood, the Alpha moved out of the way and waited for him outside of the shower space and he shyly stepped while limping.
The Alpha walked out of the bathroom with a sigh and met his beta waiting for him in the room with a concerned look on his face.
"Send for the healer and the doctor". Alpha Draven said without giving him a chance to say what he had to say.
"I heard what happened from Wilson, will you really send five warriors to Dark Moon pack?" Elias asked, not for an answer but for a confirmation.
"And if I do?"
"The pack, no, the whole realm is tensed and worried right now about the increase in the numbers of demons that seem to cross the portal each day. A single goes a long way in a pack's well-being but five? And all that for an omega?"
Elias couldn't help but voiced out his concerns even if it could cost him his life.
He had been there since the beginning when he had stood by his best friend to build the pack. They had gone days without a roof over their head or proper sleep.
Seeing the way the Alpha was acting was like a betrayal and a let down.
"Mind what comes out of mouth next Elias, I would have given more for him if that fool had asked for more".
"Draven!"
The sound of a body hitting a wall reverberated through the room in the next instance, it all happened within the blink of an eye and the Alpha had his beta pinned to the wall with one hand squeezing the air out of his lungs.
The hand that strangled the beta tightened but he did not beg or back down and only stared back at his Alpha with anger.
He finally let him go and he fell to his knees, his face and neck red from what just happened.
The bathroom opened at that moment and the Omega emerged in a robe that looked too big for his body.
He noticed the man on the floor and the angry lines on the Alpha's face and subconsciously stepped back into the bathroom.
"Come". The Alpha said, his voice softening as he gestured towards the omega.
Swallowing hard, he stepped towards him. He was unsure but noticed the heavy tense silence in the room.
Elias got up and headed out of the room without another look at either of them.
Alpha Draven gritted his teeth but gave all of his attention to the Omega.
He noticed that the robe was too big for him and it barely stood on his body.
He had ordered clothes for him since they didn't come back with anything of his things, he wasn't even sure he and anything to begin with.
"Will you try eating again?, slowly this time". He said pointing to the tray beside the bed.
The Omega looked at it with brightened eyes and nodded eagerly.
The Alpha laughed softly as he noticed how cute he always looked when he stared at food.
The omega sat down beside him and accepted the food, he ate slowly this time while the Alpha watched him in silence.
The Alpha was inhaling deeply as he noticed his scent was more pronounced now that he had cleaned up.
He smelled of something sweet like honey and vanilla with a mixture of peach. He had never smelled anyone like that before and he subconsciously moved closer to get more but simultaneously triggered the omega.
