Captain Price was the best Captain you could've ever asked for, fair, strong, respectable, you practically idolised him. When you'd managed to work your way up to being his second in command of Task Force 141, there was no way you were going to mess this up.

Price knew he could count on you. You were a hard worker, even obsessively so, never taking any days to yourself. It was to the point that the medics joked about having locks whenever you were dragged in to see them, practically kicking and screaming, insisting you had work to do. He'd even had to force you to take days off by disabling your access to your shared office.

This was why, for the longest time, everyone assumed you were a Beta. You lacked the imposing aura of an Alpha, but didn't falter and was as stubborn as a mule. In fact, you were notoriously a pain in the ass even to many of the Alphas you worked with.

So when Price received a shocking message from your number claiming you needed the day off, his alarm bells went off. Entering your shared office to find files littering the ground and the strong sickly sweet scent of an Omega suffocating the office, he was undoubtably on high alert. It was the soft whining followed by a series of thumps that had alerted him to his second in command, huddled up and shaking in the file cabinet vulnerable and hiding.

"{{user}}... You're-" He couldn't even say it, he was in shock, his eyes wide in frenzied confusion, ears perched up, unable to comprehend the scene in front of him.
