Chase Shaw's gaze shifted to the now-closed simulation room. "Just linking spiritual power is enough to get you this worked up?"
"When did you start overthinking things so much?" Chase Shaw's face was devoid of any smile. "What, does it bother you that much when I get close to her?"
The smile vanished from Nathan Lockwood's handsome, refined face as well. "I just wanted to remind you, Zoe Pierce is our teammate."
Chase Shaw pulled his gaze back and fixed it on him. "I know. So what if we linked our spiritual power? If you wanted to, you could have her link with you too. I've never stopped you."
He took a step toward Nathan Lockwood. "Do I need to remind you? Zoe Pierce's glands haven't recovered at all."
"Applying that whole Alpha-Omega dynamic to her right now is a little ridiculous, don't you think?" It was unclear whether Chase Shaw said this to admonish himself or Nathan Lockwood.
He knew better than anyone the true condition of Zoe Pierce's glands.
