Edmund felt as if his entire body was at war. He very much hoped it wouldn't be like this every time, that it would get easier as his body adjusted to its new form. He'd never really studied what being an omega meant; he'd always mated with other betas and with the occasional alpha, fearing both an unintentional bond and the rejection of an omega for someone who was an actual alpha, not just a King pretending to be one.
All the extra hormones left him on edge, tight as a rope pulled taut. He wished he knew more about what was going on inside him. And then, a velvety snout beneath his hand seemed to take a tiny bit of the edge off. He inhaled shakily, and on the next exhale let his body relax down towards the earth and towards the soft-furred creature beside him.
Al was wise. This was easier. Having an alpha next to him, touching him did soothe some of the worst of the feeling Edmund could only describe as incompleteness. Yet with Al in his Lion form and Edmund unchanged, there wasn't such a hard pulse of lust to distract the King; he knew the only danger was if he were to change as well. As it was, his desires were at a manageable level, and getting more so as he let himself accept the comfort of the proximity instead of fixating on having more. "I think I begin to understand, what you meant by 'help'."
He ate methodically, and let his fingers rub over Al's broad forehead, stroking and scratching behind his ears. "Is a heat better or worse in human form?" He smoothed the golden fur back, forcing his breathing into a regular pattern. "I don't think I'd be able to use the - " Edmund blushed and grimaced at the same time. " - devices as a Panther. Or do they have something for that too?"
