It was strange. Ever since his prince moved out with the panotti, Bruce had been having this emptiness. All his life, he thought he would spend it walking beside his prince. He thought that he had to defend Syris no matter what. However, after meeting Floopy, Bruce was forced to admit. The ugly fae changed his timid prince. With someone to love and protect, Syris started acting more like an alpha. He became more assertive and less prone to bullying. He didn’t actually need Bruce around as much anymore.
He hung out with Floopy’s only friend and it slowly became Bruce’s distraction. Klick was always fighting with him and that made the alpha feel less empty on the inside. As the shark merman searched for a new purpose in life, he found himself starting to entertain thoughts he normally wouldn’t care about. For instance, what it would be like to fall in love with a beta instead of an omega.
