Summary
When the referee’s whistle blows, Jude is running.
There’s an offensive attack they’ve got planned and it’s perfect to earn a tie that leads them to extra time, where they can solidify their defenses and properly win.
But the whistle blows and Jude falls to the ground.
☁︎
There, in all his glory, stands Erling. His alpha, with comfortable clothes and a knowing semblance. With open arms and the bond pulling at Jude to run and be hugged by them. The only one able to understand the mess of emotions his brain is tangling after a brutal defeat.
For a moment, Jude doesn’t move. His eyes scan, glassy once again, everything beyond him until the haziness prevents him from doing so. Until his bottom lip trembles, his hands are numb and his inner omega preens under his alpha’s attentiveness.
“Love,” Erling says, and it’s all it takes for Jude’s resolve to crumble.
