Owen had wondered if Omega was suffering any adverse effects from all this, and in truth Omega wouldn't have been able to answer that question even if it was posed to him. Blue's safety, the danger she'd been in -- and still is -- has utterly wiped away everything else.
He let the medical team work around him without interference because they were doing what he couldn't. They couldn't make him move, but they could touch his mate, examine her with gentle hands and stick careful needles in her skin, putting fluids in her that were supposed to flush everything toxic out of her system. And he only believes that because Dr. Gwen told him so, and is supervising everything, and Blue's Alpha is always close by... except for that time when he asked about Hoskins, and disappeared.
Omega hopes that Hoskins died badly.
In any case, after Dr. Gwen had suggested that he sleep at Blue's side, he hasn't been able to do anything else. He did wake up from time to time, when medical staff came and went, just to be sure they were being careful, but after that it was lights out again, focused on his mate's heartbeat and the wonderful scent of her, finally beside him again. Even when he isn't awake, Omega is attuned to her completely. That's always been the case, ever since he first met her. So when Blue makes even that tiny little sound, his eyes open.
He lifts his head, immediately alert to the concern that Blue's pain is becoming intense again, only to find his mate stirring and clearly awake. Relief dizzies him in an instant, and he touches his head to hers, nuzzling her a little harder than he means to in lieu of pulling her fiercely into his arms. His voice is hoarse. "Blue."
