The Omega brushed off the Alpha's hand that was worried about him, feeling very disappointed even though he knew it wasn't the Alpha's fault.
He knew it was his own fault for getting his hopes up. It was all his fault for getting too carried away with the atmosphere and the Alpha's treatment of him.
But how could he resist that feeling when he expected attention from someone and Axel gave it to him.
"Don't touch me, I don't want to be touched by you," Daren said in a cold tone.
Daren's words made Axel flinch, this time he really couldn't hide his surprise when the man suddenly became like that.
"What? I'm just trying to care about you. I was trying to check up on you!" replied Axel in annoyance at Daren's sudden change in attitude.
"I don't need your concern! I just want to rest, you better shut up and leave me alone!" Daren turned his back to Axel and covered himself with the blanket.
"Don't pretend to care about me," he said again.
