His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 23

I'm an omega.

I slowly got up from the bench. Alto mimicked my movements, eyeing me.

"Don't," I warned.

"Don't leave," he whispered. "I've been searching for years. My whole life. Don't go now that I've found you."

I shook my head.

"You would have wished you didn't find me."

"No," Alto said, his voice taking on a level of power that I had never heard used on me. I repressed a shudder. This was the voice of a man who had to much strength and no idea where to put it.

"Alto please," I said begging now, slowly backing away with him stalking me.

"I...- " his voice broke.

I bent down and picked took my shoe off.

He stared at me in confusion.

Without warning, I threw it at him.

He could have caught me.

I knew it the moment he grabbed the shoe in the air faster than I could see before I had even turned.

But he let me go.

I ran away.

I distanced myself to save myself.

And the broken Prince stared.

They always said to follow your heart.

But if your heart is in a million pieces which part do you follow?

Soul mates aren't the ones who make you the happiest, no.

They're instead the ones who make you feel the most.

Burning edges and scars and stars.

Old pains and pangs,

Captivation and beauty.

Strain and shadows and yearning.

Sweetness and madness and dreamlike surrender.

They hurl you into the abyss.

They taste like hope.

It was trickling down now. Most had gone home. The Alphas who had decided to come were all swiftly departing back to their respective Packs.

Going up to his room, the Prince shook with some unknown emotion. He quickly turned and ran down the halls.

He didn't need to go to his room.

He needed the training grounds.

He needed to run. To let go of this monster that was crawling away inside of him.

Gavin was there already though. Still in his dark blue suit that almost looked black in the light.

He was waiting. He knew.

One look at the prince and Gavin went forward and swept him into his arms.

The Prince's body was shaking all over.

Gavin and he remained motionless, standing in their embrace while the Prince calmed down.

Finally, he pulled away, and Gavin lead him to a bench beside the training ground.

He looked wordlessly up at the Prince and patted his leg. "You can say it," he whispered.

"I found her," the prince choked.

Gavin closed his eyes and nodded, waiting for the rest.

"And she ran away."

Gavin's heart clenched. It twisted in agony. What would he have done if Crystal ran away from him when they first met? He would have cried if he was being honest. But he wouldn't have let her go.
