His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 49

The King raised an eyebrow at me, "Is that so wrong? That I don't want to give up my kingdom and power to a boy. It's as if you were to one day go to your Alpha and tell him he had to leave, that this was no longer his pack."

I shivered at the comparison. I had never thought of it like that. I didn't want to hear the King's side to the story. I wanted to be on Alto's side. I wanted to support Alto. But both sides made sense and were right and wrong in their own way.

"I cannot stop law. Traditionally Alto would not take over until I passed. But Law states that because he has found his life mate, he has to rule."

A brief thought flashed through my mind if maybe, Alto's long search for his life mate had not been as romantic as the media and court gossip made it to be.

"I've gone off topic though," The King said, walking back to stare at his fire, "As I was saying, there are things that go on without your knowledge. There is a drug that is currently being spread. Many do not know of it. I have been fighting it and the system it's under for years now, but I think you can be my solution."

I waited, knowing the long-winded answer was finally coming.

"This drug has the capability of making humans into werewolves."

My eyes widened at the news. I had never heard of this before.

"Humans are using it against us. They are transforming into hybrids that are monsters. Sometimes they manage to capture werewolves themselves and use the drug to turn them into even more grotesque creatures. Creatures with too much power."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Create a drug that will negate it's effects. I want a drug that will make the humans go back to their original state. One that will make the drugs effect null."

With these words he pulled out a golden necklace with a circled charm.

"Inside this charm is the drug. This is the only safe way I can think of transporting it to you and of you carrying it."

He walked closer to me and I stiffened as he pulled the chain over my head.

I looked closely at the necklace. It was plain and had no special design or inscription other than the King's royal crest.

"August will think it suspicious that I called you. So just say I wanted to give you that." He points to the charm.

I noticed the top and saw, upon closer inspection that it looked like it could open if twisted.

"Use the amount carefully. It was hard to obtain this."

"Do you..." I hesitated at the question, but something nagged within my brain to ask, "Do you know who poisoned me?"

The King stared at the flames, his fascination for them making me uncomfortable, "I have my suspicions."

I stood then and took a brave but tentative step towards him, "Tell me," I said.

He shook his head, "No Fayette. This is deeper than you will ever realize. Who can you trust, who is really good? Who is really bad? I have learned that you only can really trust yourself. You should remember that also."

I bristled at the comment, not happy with the answer.

"What makes you think I'm not going to tell Alto everything here?"

"You can't," his answer came out so simply.

"Why?" I narrowed my eyes in suspicion now.

"Even through the life mates bonds, I am still your King and my command is higher within your mind. Your wolf, no matter how buried inside you she is, will not allow you to disobey me. Keep this from August. Do not tell anyone of your mission. There are a lot of lives resting upon you now Fayette. I hope you take that seriously."
