I turned around, my wolf eyes burning with frustration as I snapped, “Truman, I saved your life! Now you're messing with my sleep? Do you think an Omega like me wouldn't dare to kill you?"

He stood there with his arms crossed, not even flinching. "Even if you dared to, I'd still stick around.

Then, he got serious. "I'm only staying to make sure you can rest. If I leave and someone follows my scent back here, things could get a lot worse."

I wanted to say yes. But somehow, the words didn't come out.

His wounds were serious this time. Otherwise, he would've healed quickly. Alphas like us usually bounced back fast.
