"Because I lied to him, and I'm not sure he'll ever forgive me for it," Axel admitted, his voice low, rough with guilt and exhaustion.
He had decided that he would share the mistakes, the struggle and part of secrets with Dallas, but there was one thing he couldn't reveal... The fact that he was an omega.
Dallas's gaze softened slightly, his expression careful, as if he were choosing not to probe too deeply. "How bad is it?" he asked, phrasing it gently.
He wasn't demanding Axel's confession, he was leaving the choice completely in Axel's hands. If Axel wanted to tell him, he would. If not, that was still okay.
"Really bad. Like… the worst thing I might have ever done in my entire life," Axel said, his voice tight, the words tasting bitter on his tongue.
He watched Dallas's reaction, and for a moment, he seemed almost speechless, like he didn't know how to process the weight of what Axel was admitting.
