Viona stayed home that day, skipping work to take care of Ethan. She knew he was exhausted from the night before, and though he tried his best to act normal, she didn't miss the way he occasionally winced and frowned in discomfort.
She had already treated his new mark with ointment, but she knew the wound would sting for a few more days. Worse, his lower body had to be in pain, too. As a dominant Alpha, Viona had never thought to buy medicine for that kind of soreness before, leaving her completely empty-handed. Resolving to act like a responsible, protective True Alpha, she decided to drive to the nearby pharmacy to get him some relief.
She felt perfectly fine during the drive, but the moment she pushed open the pharmacy door, her mind went blank. Sudden embarrassment flooded her. How was she even supposed to ask for this? Should I just ask for Omega ointment?
Feeling incredibly shy but forcing herself to push through it, she approached the counter and spoke to the pharmacist.
