Once Spade was sure the omega had fallen asleep, his expression darkened and his jaw tightened. The emotions that had been hidden inside of him for so long began to show on his face, and even his pheromones began to seep through. Even the bodyguards standing outside the bedroom stiffened.
Nonetheless, Spade did not allow his emotions to take over. He didn't want the omega to wake up because of his intense pheromones. He inhaled deeply, his gaze fixed on Arren's face. Slowly, his gaze softened, and his other hand, which was not grasped by the omega, caressed Arren's cheeks.
His mind could now carefully consider what Arren had said and recounted about his dreams. He had no idea Arren was hiding his trauma behind his sweet smile, to the point where he was having nightmares.
When Arren was screaming and crying in his sleep earlier, Spade tried everything to wake him up. He could deduce from this that something terrible happened in the nightmare.
