Chapter 390: - - 390-
Lake remained at the door so he wouldn’t be a nuisance, nearly gnawing his nails clean off from nerves.
Firstly, Asher was a fucking monster. Even while protecting Caspian, it was almost impossible to hold the Alpha down, more than a few of the men getting thrown against the wall.
Lake had to wonder if it was the condition that gave him such inhuman strength. Protecting Caspian was a chink in his defense but it also meant that the men going after him were forced to be careful, it was like watching a room of grown men tackle each other to the ground while trying to keep an egg unbroken.
As soon as Jael had Caspian, Asher getting bound by the chains, Lake hurried forward to take his friend far away from whatever madness was going on there.
Jael relinquished the dazed Omega into his hand and Lake hurried out with Caspian while ignoring Asher’s increasingly violent growls. He had figured out what was wrong with Caspian as soon as he got close enough and now as he half carried his friend down the hallway, a frown formed on his worried face.
He was in heat.
Lake focused on getting them somewhere private first, and he ended up in the room Caspian offered to him the first time they met.
He didn’t stop to relieve the nostalgia, helping Caspian on the bed. The Omega burned to the touch and seemed delirious from the heat emanating off his body.
Lake didn’t hesitate to undo the buttons on the dress shirt he wore, tugging off his socks as well. He needed to cool him down first and any other thing could come after that.
He pushed his hair out of his face impatiently as he filled up a bowl with water in the bathroom, getting on the bed with Caspian when he returned.
The door was closed, the quiet room miles away from the chaos and destruction that was Caspian’s bedroom.
