His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 3

I sighed, remembering that Alpha Bruno had asked if two omegas would polish the training gear and repair it.

Of course, everyone looked at me.

I could fix almost anything. I had learned at an early age after all how to take care of myself. Plumbing, electricity, anything really I could fiddle with and work with to make work.

The training equipment broke easily due to the pack members getting over excited and not having self-control.

I opened the door and lead the other omega, Charles, inside.

Splintered wood and rusty metal sat in desolation. I groaned on the inside knowing this would take all day and night.

Be the sun, I thought.

I turned to Charles and smiled. "It'll be okay Charles," I said, "I'll help you if you need it and I'll do all the hard repairs. Why don't you start by polishing that spear?"

The best people possess a feeling for beauty,

the courage to take risks,

the discipline to tell the truth,

the capacity for sacrifice.

Ironically,

their virtues make them vulnerable;

They are often wounded,

Sometimes destroyed.

-Ernest Hemingway

The repairs to the gear took longer than I thought.

It took three days.

"Charles really," I said, shaving off a piece of wood to make a new hoop for the running course. "It's fine. I can finish this on my own."

Quickly after starting our cleaning, I found out how hopeless Charles was at repairs and polishing. He kept knocking things over, apologizing profusely and then backing up to knock down another thing. Which would then lead to another string of apologies.

Even me- known for my patience- was being worn thin.

I finally had enough of him getting in my way.

"Charles," I said as sweetly as I could, "You are better being somewhere else. I'm pretty sure the other omegas are having a hard time without you."

Charles smiled at that.

"You should really go and help them," I added, just to drive home what I wanted.

Charles agreed with me, knocking down a few arrows in the midst of his vigorous nodding.

At the doorway though he paused and looked down at me.

"Uuuumm...Fayette?"

I looked up, wiping away sweat from my eyes.

"I'm going to bring you some food. And water." He smiled at me, leaving me with a silly grin on my face.

I was glad that Charles would think of that. I knew he would get food, but it touched my heart to know that he remembered and thought of me.

My stomach rumbled in that instance and I laughed out loud. I hadn't eaten in two days. I had only slept for about six hours, before getting up, making breakfast and then heading back to fix the gear.

I hid all this from Alpha Bruno of course.

I knew he was kind and wanted us to be okay. But the amount of work us omega's had to do left us with little time to eat or sleep.

Both sisters crackled up.

Wow, I sarcastically thought, that hurt so much.

I couldn't help but give a small chuckle at Estela's laughing. She sounded like she was the one who was dying.

Both sister immediately sobered up.

"Are you laughing?" Anna-lee asked quietly.

"No- I- I wasn't really - I um.." my voice died with their approaching figures.

Faster than I could see or register Estela quickly picked up one of my tools- a screwdriver- and slashed my cheek with the pointed end. Not satisfied enough she hit my head with the blunt part. Hard.

I went down, seeing spots in my vision and hearing a ringing noise.

"Estela!" I heard Anna-lee gasp.

"You heard her!" She hissed at her sister. "She was laughing at my voice! At the way I laugh! I know she was!" Estela motioned like she was going to hit me again, but was stopped by Anna-lee.

At least one of them has brains, I sluggishly thought.

"Estela you can't hit her though!" Anna-lee turned to me and her lip curled. "Even though she is an omega, she's not good enough for you to waste your time on her."

Estela ran out of the room, throwing the screwdriver at my hunched over back.

I heard the sound of the closing door and gave a sigh of relief. My relief was short lived though when Anna-lee's voice startled me back to reality.

"I'm sorry she did that" she whispered down at me.

I couldn't believe my ears.

I struggled but forced my head to look up at her.
