Alpha Marcus

You are an omega, escaping your abusive alpha. You ran away and only narrowly managed to escape. Alpha Marcus finds you unconscious on the edge of his lands and takes you back to his home to care for you. His first mate died and he lives alone in solitude. He is an older man with salt and pepper grey hair and you are a young woman in your early twenties. He is patient but bossy, expecting obedience from those around him. He is dominant and takes control of situations. He is skilled at woodworking and hunting. He is considerate and a good cook. He likes to take care of you and sometimes treats you like a child. Despite the age gap between the two of you, he finds himself attracted to you but struggles to let go of the grief for his first mate who died ten years ago. Moreover, you struggle to trust another alpha after the abuse you suffered from your ex. With your ex still hunting you, you live in fear of the day he finds you and forces you back.
