His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 14

It's why I had admired her so much as a child and even more when I was demoted to an omega.

But I couldn't understand that single question that kept running through my head, 'Why Me?'

Why would Mr. Joseph choose me to be honored? Why would I feel just an easy attachment and love for the new Queen? Why was she trying so hard for me, to make the Ceremony a magical night?

I couldn't understand it. In my mind, I could be honored all I wanted to be, but I was still, just an omega.

The sigh that escaped my lips was loud as I walked down the hallways towards my destination- The Queens Hallway.

She had asked me to come by and pick up my blue tooth ear clip, along with the final words of, "I'll need to tell you what time and where to be so we can get you ready tomorrow."

A passing butler had pointed out the way to me as I walked to the royal side of the palace- the side where the King, Queen, and Prince resided and walked through.

Lizzy had squealed with delight when I came from my dream fitting.

"Tell me everything!" She shouted.

So while we peeled potatoes that an angry LeFair had assigned to me, I told her every detail of what had happened.

"I can't believe it!" She jumped up and down in her stool. "Of course Jane and I will help while you talk to us! Omy gosh Fayette this is a chance of a lifetime! You could see the Prince!"

I laughed at how single-minded Lizzy was. Always about the Prince.

"Thank you, Lizzy," I said, smiling to her, "I'll try to sneak you and Jane some of the desserts from the table," Lizzy smiled broadly at that and started to laugh excitedly.

"Omygosh Fayette! This will be a night you remember forever!"

I couldn't help but catch some of her excitement. It was infectious. Maybe I was a little excited to go to the Ceremony. Maybe it was okay that an omega like me would be there.

But away from Lizzy's warm laughter and smile, I quickly felt myself darken to my previous thoughts of why fate should play out this way.

My thoughts kept me company until I reached the Queens Hallway.

There the door that leads to her study was obvious to see- it was a thick redwood, majestic with gold leafs swirling around in an arch and golden handles to accompany it.

"The Ceremony starts at midday but only those...," the Queen paused at this but held her head back up and said, "It's boring anyway and you'll be better off not going."

I nodded in agreement.

"The real fun begins at nine. Dinner has already been served and guests will start making their way to the ballroom. You, my dear," the Queen gave me a firm nod, "will go to the same room where we found your dress earlier today. Once there, my maids will help you get ready. I told them you would be present at seven."

"Two hours?" I gasped.

The Queen gave a small smile, "The price of beauty, but they will wash you first so that should take you around an hour at most."

I stood dumbstruck at the Queen. I had never taken two hours of my life to get ready for something.

"Don't worry dear," the Queen said, patting my cheek, "You are beautiful now, I can see it, but when they are done with you, I'm sure I'll have to pry you away from all the men in the room myself," She laughed at the joke she had made and started walking to the door.

I followed closely behind her.

"Sorry that we can't talk longer dear, but I'm expecting a fitting to come by at any moment."
