Markus couldn’t calm down for another hour. Then his crying stopped, as he couldn’t bring himself anymore to cry. Then exhaustion took him over, and he couldn’t keep himself awake anymore.
His sleep was troubled, nightmares plaguing his mind. He woke up a lot, gasping for breath, terrified of being somewhere he didn’t know.
Ray came to check on him from time to time. He was there to hug him if he needed it. It reallt broke his heart to see the small omega cry like that and be terrified of everything. He wanted to make sure that this omega would be comfortable with him.
Markus was always terrified of Ray. He didn’t want to be touched, he didn’t want to be held, he was scared. Scared of alphas. Of Ray. He never fought back against him though, because he was taught not to.
He was happy when he was alone, and managed to get some rest. Being in some alpha’s home, and never left alone for too long, it terrified him.
