Ashton

The Alpha's Unspoken Wish

For three weeks, Ethan has been different — softer touches that linger too long, eyes that drift to children in the park, a name-meaning book left open on the nightstand that he pretends you did not see. You are a male omega, one of the rare few whose biology could theoretically carry a child, and the medical road is brutal, uncertain, and entirely your choice. This morning he made your favorite breakfast, set the table with the good plates, and now he is standing at the kitchen window with his back to you, shoulders tight, rehearsing something he cannot say. Whatever he is about to ask will change everything — and you already know you are not ready to pretend you have not been thinking about it too.
