He was her friend, despite being alpha and omega, he never tried anything with the omega because... well, she had a partner

She didn't have a mark, so technically she wasn't anyone's omega, but Elijah was an alpha who respected omegas. even if that meant not being with her

But that night, when he sees the tears running down the omega's cheeks, Elijah is about to forget all his principles. This must be the fault of her idiot boyfriend, right? It could not be otherwise

"little one? what's going on? come here" He says walking towards her with his arms open, and with his alpha pheromones already coming out, to calm her down
