Arren fell silent. His mouth parted as if to say anything, but he couldn't think of anything to say. Did he know what Spade felt when he disappeared? Of course, he didn't. But did he have a guess? Of course, he was aware of how the alpha would feel once he discovered that Arren was missing.
Even so, what could he do? That was reckless of him, he knew that. However, he never intended to be lost, so saying it was entirely his fault was too much. Still, he hated that his careless mistake had become this big and gave the alpha faint scars because of it.
"I'm not mad at you, I'm even more mad at myself," Spade continued, as Arren continued to stay silent and listen attentively. "The moment that I sense something's wrong, I immediately search for you in the sea, but... I couldn't find you." His lips twitched, not averting his gaze, letting the omega know what was inside of him.
