His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 37

"Oh?" Alto said, looking slightly embarrassed. "Why's that?"

It was my turn to look embarrassed as I mumbled down, staring at his chest, "Some of the things you say are just too beautiful to not come from a poet's mind."

There was a pause of silence as I waited for Alto's response. I looked up and had to remind myself to breathe and not fall out of the chair I was sitting in. Alto was smiling- with teeth showing- at me.

I couldn't help the little "gah" that escaped my mouth.

"I'm wearing the smile that you gave me," he said.

I rolled my eyes at the words that made my heart go into overdrive, "poet" I muttered under my breath.

He laughed a small chuckle.

"You know what I said about training?" He asked.

I looked up at him, my hand on my chest as I tried, not so smoothly, to get it back to a normal pulse.

"I need to talk to you about that." We both sat up straighter in our chairs.

"Once you are done taking things down for the Blue Moon Ceremony, you will go into training."

I nodded at Alto, waiting for him to say more.

"I, Gavin and one other will teach you. Gavin thought it a good idea that your friend also come, Lizzy was it? Since you are used to her teaching you and she was a pack warrior."

"Alright," I said.

We finished the meal, with small comments here and there from Alto about how the light show worked and was set up. I tried my best to explain the details, leaving Alto's eyes to widen slightly.

"I am blessed with a brilliant lifemate," he commented at one point. I blushed hard at the compliment.

The food was soon all eaten.

"Leave it," Alto said, waving me away as I tried to take the boxes back.

I didn't protest and instead grabbed his offered hand.

We walked in silence back. I savored the heat that was coursing through me, caused by the small pressure he was applying to my hand. It was amazing how one gesture could cause my whole body to grow warm and happy.

Eventually, we made it back to the front of my bedroom door.

"Goodnight," I whispered. I didn't want to let go of his hand.

He looked at me. Did he not want to leave either?

"Goodnight Fayette," he said. He leaned over and, softly brushed his lips against my cheek.

Goosebumps formed on my arm, and I felt a slight shiver go down both our spines.

"Goddess. I miss you already." He whispered.

The King stared into the low embers of the fire as Gavin and the Queen sat, thinking their own thoughts and trapped in their own world.

The sudden question from the King however shook both of them from their contemplation.

"Sir?" Gavin said, sitting up more in his chair and addressing his King. His Alpha.

"I'll say this only one time more Gavin. How many lives do you think have been saved by X-Bane?"

Gavin and the Queen exchanged glances. The eye of the storm had passed. The tornado was touching ground.

"There is not a definite answer sir, but you yourself know that it saved a whole region of the kingdom- that alone is above ten thousand lives."

The King kept his back to his council as he watched the dying embers burn out.

"She made it."

The silence penetrated the air, leaving in its wake a sudden thick tension that left a weight on their chest.

"My King-"Gavin started, however the King interrupted him before he could finish.

He turned around and started waving his hand in the air. Describing an idea that had been forming since the information had been presented to his ears.

"She made X-Bane. Her. A small, fragile, girl." A deep sigh issued from the King as he closed his eyes and started to rub his temples, "do you know how long I have tried to keep this kingdom together? Know how long I have faced the tension in the Packs with useless women who cannot follow the simple task of either staying alive or being in the right bed."
