His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 44

I watched him, waiting for his response.

"I would hunt them down, whoever did it. I would kill them slowly and make them scream, make them feel so much pain that they die from it. Then I would join you."

I balked at the answer.

"What if no one killed me?" I questioned.

He glared at me. I knew then that he didn't like confrontation. He didn't like answering the hard questions and was not used to someone having the guts to force him to answer them.

"What if I died of old age? Or if I tripped down the stairs? My own fault? Would you destroy the stairs? Then kill yourself?"

He continued to glare at me, "this is pointless Fayette. Like you said, you're alive now."

"No!" I shocked both of us with my sudden outburst, "You don't understand Alto. I've seen what the mating band does to souls. I've seen first hand the effect it has."

I watched as slow realization crept into his eyes. He had probably shoved that to the back of his mind after hearing of it.

"What will you do?" I asked again.

He inched closer to me and stared down at our entwined hands, "Fayette," his voice sounded strained. I was pushing him into new places and forcing him to his limit. I could tell. But something inside me just told me that I needed to do this. For us.

"I don't know."

I smiled at his honest answer.

"What would you do?" He reflected the question back to me.

I thought before saying, "I would break. I would probably never be the same. But I would tape myself together. And what if we have children? I would want to be there for them. I wouldn't want them to lose two parents."

Alto's eyes widened at my admission. Who was I kidding though. In this moment I was brave. Even after seeing the heartbreak, I claimed that I would be able to walk from it. But the memory of my father, and his actions towards me after mother's death will forever haunt me.

I realize then that I lost two parents that sad morning when I woke up to my father's mournful howls.

"Children?" Alto looks at me, with a slight twitch to his lips.

I blush and look down.

"Well we are getting married...I mean it's just a thought..." I mumbled, but my ramblings were interrupted by Alto moving closer.

His breath fanned my face as his eyes searched into my own.

Very carefully he removed the object from my face that had been spitting little burst of air into my nose.

Slowly, so as not to startle me, he leaned in closer.

We stood there, wrapped in each other as we laughed at the memory of the moment.

The troubles could wait. Just a few seconds more. Let the world consume me after I was done with him.

"In the cold light I live, to love and adore you

It's all that I am, It's all that I have"

-There will be Time, Mumford & Sons

Alto sat close to me as the others gathered in.

Something had changed within the bond.

It was...clearer.

Like a hazy window that had been cleaned, now I could see clearly past and view the landscape that was outside.

What once were fuzzy thoughts, coming to me with a hazed focus of Alto's mind- now were clear and precise. Alto loved me.

It startled me as I felt the flood of emotion come to me after we had kissed and held each other. We had only known each other for only several weeks, but Alto had not been hesitant about the bond. He had accepted it and me since the moment we met.
