His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 29

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence

by every experience in which you really stop

to look fear in the face. You must do the thing

which you think you cannot do."

- Eleanor Roosevelt

Behind closed doors. That's how it should have been handled. Instead of the public display of malice and hate, of tears and sadness. Of old memories brought anew, and thoughts that were long wished to be forgotten brought back from the dark.

Behind the watching eye.

There they went. As it should have been.

The King realized as he watched his son embrace the girl, how wrong he had been to bully his way to her tears. She didn't back down like he thought she would.

When was the last time he saw his son openly embrace someone? When was the last time he had embraced his son.

Just as quickly as the thoughts had entered, jumbling the King's mind, they left, leaving him watching the couple below.

The crowd wordlessly watched with the King, the display.

Yet he still had questions that he needed answered. Still had doubts. Still did not like the girl. Still found an odd satisfaction in her tears. The King stood with his mind whirling around. He needed answers and he needed them in that instance.

"Alpha Bruno I feel that we should take this matter behind closed doors," the King said, facing Alpha Bruno as he gave a curt nod in reply. "The rest of you are dismissed," the King barked.

The shuffling of feet was heard as the quiet whisper of voices rose with the exiting of the nobles, soldiers and whatever other important people who had found their way into the throne room.

Prince August and Fayette had separated by then. Fayette walked slowly to Alpha Bruno's side, tense the whole way. All of her secrets were out in the open. Many knew of her true nature now and of what she was capable of. She shuddered, as she remembered the looks in the eyes of those around her. Fear, surprise, panic, confusion. But the shuddering stopped when she felt a touch of warmth on her neck. Turning around in confusion her eyes met Prince August's surprised ones.

"Did you..." She couldn't finish the sentence, not knowing exactly what it was that had just happened.

Alpha Bruno's back straightened with the mentioned that the two seated before him were lifemates. Gavin and Crystal both nodded their heads at the same time towards Alpha Bruno and Fayette. Gavin kept his face void of emotion, similar to the Prince and Queen, however, Crystal could not help the huge smile that was overflowing her features.

A slight pause filled the room until the King cleared his throat again. The Queen, however, said the first words.

"Fayette dear, I'm so sorry you had to do that."

The King's eyes flashed golden at the Queen, however, she did not spare a glance at him, instead reaching across to grab Fayette's hand and give it a comforting squeeze.

Fayette exhaled loudly, releasing some of the tension in her shoulders, "It's okay Queen Rienna. Now you know sooner rather than later."

The Queen gave a nod and leaned back in her chair, spine still straight, but eyes quickly casting a calculating glance at the King.

Through the whole encounter, Prince August's eyes never left Fayette.

Alpha Bruno addressed the King, "I will pardon the hostility that was displayed to my pack member." The King's eyes stayed their fiery gold, showing to the room his anger and displeasure. Alpha Bruno continued, "What I want to know is what is going to happen now that the Prince has found his life mate. What will happen to my pack member? Her safety and well being are my main concern."
