Chapter 26: Just A Friend

Zeke's unexpected encounter with Finn nagged at him in the days that followed, like a fly that wouldn't leave him alone. The Omega's confidence was bad enough to contend with, but Azia also continued to steadfastly ignore him. It felt akin to throwing salt into a large, gaping wound.

Frustrated with his predicament regarding the pair of them, Zeke threw himself into his duties, determined to distract himself from the turmoil in his personal life. He worked long hours, trying to prove to himself and to everyone else that he was up to the task of helping his pack regardless of what was unfolding behind the scenes.
