His Incurable Omega novel Chapter 7

Straightening her out so that she was looking at me, I stared into my life mates eyes and asked again, "Why do you think we should stop?"

Crystal's eyes misted over. I knew then not to play with her. She was serious. Before I could embrace her again in comfort though she let out a small sob and said, "I know it's hurting him."

I didn't need to ask who.

Our mission.

The Prince.

We both stared at each other.

Crystal grabbed my hands and held them close to her.

"Gavin can't you see that every town we go to, every Pack we meet with, every girl we look at... all of it is getting to him now."

Tears were threatening to overflow from her.

"It's hurting him. So much. After two years, I've lost count of how many girls eyes he has looked into."

"Apple," I said, stroking my mate's face. "How can you possibly tell that our Prince is hurt? To me he seems to be doing alright and..." my voice faded at the look crystal was giving me.

"You don't see it!" She growled at me.

I looked at her lost. "No," I replied, "I don't."

Crystal shook her head. "Has he always been silent?"

"He is a soldier born and raised Crystal, he talks only when he needs to."

Crystal gave me a doubtful look.

"And does he always just...stare? At you...with no emotion?"

I sighed. So this was where she was getting her basis for her argument.

"Crystal, Apple, He. Is. A. Soldier. How can I stress this to you? I have known Prince August since he was a pup! He learned to keep his emotion in check so he could be stronger than everyone, to be...power," I looked at her to see if she understood.

"I think it's because he hasn't found her yet!" Crystal said to me.

"No Apple trust me, he's always been like that."

"Why is this even a ritual that the heir must go through?" crystal muttered under her breath.

I sighed. I didn't want to agree with her but secretly I did.

The first ever Wolf King's reign was with a life mate by his side. After realizing that a life mate had played a part in making his rule strong, the first king put in a passing ritual that all heirs who were taking the throne must proceed to undergo. At the age of 20, they must go and travel for at least two months to find their life mates. No punishment would fall unto them though should they fail to find their mate.

I had been too busy thinking of the past to notice what was going on with the bond.

A wave of smugness and satisfaction was coursing through. Her eyes dancing between I told you so and concern

Looking between the two, I raised one eyebrow waiting for someone to say something.

Finally August spoke.

"I'm going home."

While they all fall in love with her smile

She waits for one who will fall in love with her scars

- The Dreamer

It had been a month since Alpha Bruno had left us at the Palace.

The awe and splendor of it still had my head reeling when I walked through the halls.

Gold seemed to frame every inch of the white polished stone. And then there were some halls that were red and jeweled, some that were carved in nothing but the darkest of stone, and even still halls that had paintings swirling on the ceiling and through the walls, depicting stories and tales.

The first few days it had been a distraction to me.
