Can you please explain what bond is? In caveman form if possible. Thank you.
basically in omegaverse, bonding is when the pair (or in this case, just one of them) becomes extremely attached to each other to the point of codependency.
hayden was going to risk his life for brett because he was bonded, he didn't even think about it, it was instinct.
it's like their entire brain only focuses on that person, their entire world revolves around them.
I don't think it was due to "the bond". But he has feelings for him. Bonding in Omegaverses can be "instincts based" but in this case it seems to be emotionally based only. In typical Omegaverse settings the "bond" is an actual physical mark. Or the one I'm reading right now, a novel called Trap? Trap!, the bond isn't a mark but the omega is repulsed by other alphas' scents, especially when he tries to have sex with his non-bonded alpha partner.
That was the most "here, damn" ending I've read
