His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 39

If someone were writing her life story, this, of course, would be that opportune cliche moment for the Queen to walk in and find her. However the Queen did not walk in, and Fayette was able to look and see nothing but two wolves staring at each other. One appeared to be crying, while the other looked up at a full moon with closed eyes.

By the time the Queen came back through the doors she had left, Fayette was safely secured in her chair, sitting as if she had never left it in the first place.

A man trailed in behind the Queen. His presence took up enormous space in the room, and yet at the same time, he seemed to be able to hide and blend in behind the Queen as she took a chair opposite from Fayette.

"Thank you for waiting Fayette," the Queen said as she settled in her chair and moved it forward.

Fayette smiled and nodded, but chose to remain silent.

"This is Elden," the Queen raised her hand to point out the man behind her. "Fayette as you know and as I'm sure Prince August has told you in one of your dinners together- you are in a very vulnerable position right now."

Fayette clasped her hands in her lap to keep from snapping them. She let the Queen continue uninterrupted.

"Lifemates are rare to find but when you find them they are a great asset to each other. In this special case, however, there is not much you can...really do for Prince August." The Queen laughed and rolled her eyes. "He is a Prince, after all, he has everything already."

A squeezing sensation gripped Fayette's heart. She had never heard the Queen talk like this in such a blunt, brutal manner, but all her words were truth to Fayette's chaotic mind.

"There is only one thing we need you to do." The Queen leaned forward, as the air in the room suddenly grew serious. "By we, I do not mean me. I do not mean Prince August. I do not even mean you. I mean the Kingdom. There is one. And only one thing you need to do now. Only one duty you have."

The Queen inhaled after her rushed words left her out of breath, and audibly swallowed.

"Stay alive."

Fayette's whole body froze. Her back stiffened and she stared at the Queen with eyes that were starting to realize the depth of her words.

"If you do not complete this task. Then you will have failed your Kingdom and Prince August when it is his time to reign."

just as light does not always bring good.

~P.C. CAST

I couldn't figure out why Elden was there. The Queen had assigned him to me, but didn't I already have Lizzy as a bodyguard?

And what was with her behavior? Not once did she call me dear, I noted quickly in my head.

Something was off. Like she was holding herself back. I knew the danger though that the Queen had warned me of. How I knew of the danger.

It was all too real to my mind of the crippling cycle that seemed to be trapped within life mates. What do you do when you lose a piece of your soul? That's the question that is asked of when a life mate loses their loved one.

It's crippling enough just to lose someone you love. But through the bond of life mate, you literally form an attachment to them. Your souls merge together. Such a violent tear can only result in the want of your erasement. Because you know that your life will never be whole again.
