Asher nuzzled in close to Theon's neck as he held him. His body acting out of actions from his heat rubbing his scent all over him, while he walked making it difficult for Theon to focus on getting to the room. Thankfully there wasn't anyone in the hallway where they were headed.

Theon placed Asher down on the bed gently, prying his hand away from him. Asher grasping out to keep him close.

He didn't trust Shaw, taking one of the chairs in the room and ramming it under the door handle to keep anyone from getting in easily. At least making it so that he could hear if anyone did try.

However, this locked him in a room with a time bomb Asher was just in the beginning of his heat. It being his first and so late in life, left many questions unanswered. Most peaks lasted a few days but his could go on a lot longer.

It could just potentially be stress induced and only last a few hours. Theon still in the dark about what Asher's last few days have been like.

"Help. . . me. " Asher begged, pulling his shirt off, exposing the bruises Zac had left behind.

If Theon wasn't boiling before he was boiling now all the dark thoughts he had of what might have happened to him were now confirmed.

Asher attempted to get up from the bed but his footing was too weak. Theon jumping forward grabbing him before he fell completely.

"You're too weak to be moving." Theon spoke placing him back on the bed.

His dark eyes closed as his sweet scent engulfed him taking all his might to not pin Asher underneath him and have his way. It was natural after all omega's had heats that pulled the alpha out.

Being linked to Shaw was the only thing keeping his alpha at bay for the time.

"Take me, please." Asher spoke, pulling at Theon to come closer, he wanted him.

"Stop, that's just your heat talking. You need to lay back and rest. It will be over soon."

Theon guiding Asher to lay back, brushing his hand through his dark locks, he was burning up.

"NO!" Asher yelled, pushing back against Theon with more strength then the two of them expected.

Pulling himself into Theon's lap, straddling him.

"Take me." He begged again with more yearning in his voice.

His body felt like it was going to rip in two. Running his small hands over Theon's chest, nuzzling against his neck.

"Asher I can't." Theon finally let out, pulling Asher away.

He couldn't be with him in this state. Theon felt like he was violating him if he did. Taking advantage of the state he was in. It wouldn't sit right with him.

Asher's eyes started to well up with tears, "You don't care about me either." He cried out.

Hot tears burning his cheeks, Theon played with him just as Shaw did but this time it hurt worse because he really thought Theon liked him.

"It's not that Asher."

Theon brushed away the tears that stained his cheeks but his hand got smacked away.

"Don't touch me."

Asher's mind was spinning with emotions and feelings, incapable of processing them all at once.

"First Shaw doesn't want me. Now you don't want me. . ."

Pulling his arms in close to himself as he moved off of Theon's lap and back to the bed curling up and facing the wall.

"Zac took me." He mumbled where Theon couldn't make out what he had said.

"Asher it's not that."

Theon shifted on the bed so he could see Asher, "Trust me I care about you. I wouldn't be here if I didn't."

He knew omegas were in a very emotional states when in heat so it wasn't hard to upset them and misstep. Asher not on any medications to help suppress his scent or reactions to the heat was only making it harder for him.

"You lie just like Shaw." Asher pouted, "You lie just like everyone else."

Theon sighing, running his hand along the side of Asher's face, "I'm not lying to you. I've never lied to you. . . it's just. . . "

"It's just what?"

Asher shrugging off his touch again.

"I don't want to be with you if it's just because of your heat. I don't want you to be with me just because that's what it's telling you to do. I want it to be your choice. I want you to choose me with your own will without any other influences."

Maybe his pride was getting too much in the way for him right now, but that's how he's always felt. He wanted his omega to choose him not the other way around. He prided himself on not letting the alpha control everything.

Theon truly felt that Asher had too much in his life that was just forcing him to choose him. Theon was the first nice alpha that has crossed his path since he's been here so he was easy to pick. Being his protector, his escape from Shaw and the world he lived in. Not Asher's own personal choice and it pained Theon to think that way because he really did care for Asher himself but he couldn't live with knowing that he was chosen just because.

"You just rest okay, we can talk about it when you're feeling better." Theon sighed, standing up from the bed he needed to shower to wash the fight off of him.

He wanted Asher to understand where he was coming from but this just wasn't the time. The two of them were running high off emotions and the heat. Maybe a hot shower would help clear his head.
