Chapter 8: Finally Falling

The Omega prince lying before him on the mattress was glorious, so mythical that he couldn't help but gulp at the thought of what lay beneath that veil, wasn't anyone else feeling intrusive? How could something so marvelous be left obscured from the world?

He wanted to see what was under that purple veil and he didn't stop the hunger as his hand slowly extended out towards the materiel but before his hand could move any closer, a palm wrapped around his wrist, and his head snapped back to meet the blank eyes of the third prince. His eyes dilated in disbelief as he immediately stepped back away from the prince and bowed his head.

"Please, acquit my manners, third prince!" The court physician begged and lamented repeatedly.

Wang Yibo peered back at Xiao Zhan lying on their bed, unconscious of the world around him. "Why did he faint all of a sudden?" He inquired, reeling back to the court physician with a piercing gaze.

"There's nothing wrong with him Third Prince," The professional had retorted.

"Useless!" Wang Yibo spat, eyes so dark as the sky above their head. "Get out and send the other physician in and if he doesn't detect any ailment in my Omega to had made him inanimate for two days, I will eradicate every one of you and your entire families. Especially you for attempting to touch my Omega! Get out!" The prince's voice thundered, so deep and authoritative, eyes so barren and at the same time, lethal.

The doctor wobbled on his feet as he scrambled out from the prince's chambers.

Wang Yibo stepped towards the bed. He sat down, taking hold of the omega's cold hands into his. "You are frosting yet those ludicrous physicians couldn't say what's wrong with you. It has been only a few days since you've been here and you are already making me worry about you!"

He still recalled the ear-piercing scream that erupted from the Omega before he passed out in his arms and that was two days ago yet, the Omega had shown no signs of waking up yet his chest went up and down in breathing while his body went colder with each passing day. Wang Yibo couldn't help but feel frightened. Yes, it had been only six days since his Omega had been with him but he couldn't help but feel this pull that tugged on his heart strings, this warmth he felt whenever the Omega looked at him with his never-changing frigid and blank eyes, he couldn't stop the desire to keep the Omega safe at all cost. What was wrong with him, why was he getting so devout?

Those questions went unanswered.

Wang Yibo sighed, leaning him towards the omega's forehead and pressed his lips against his smooth and exposed skin, and withdrew. "Wake up soon, I promise to take good care of you from now on!" He beamed and at that moment, the door of his chambers opened and his mother, along with Jiyang and Haoxuan and another doctor strolled in.

Wang Yibo stood up. "Mother, you're here!" He approached his mother and the woman didn't hesitate to wrap her motherly arms around him for comfort. "He isn't waking up!" He told her when she broke the hug.

Consort Yang smiled as she cupped her son's face. It was the first time she had seen him being so emotionally, so erratic and so pessimistic. Even as a kid, Wang Yibo had refrained from showing his emotions, even to his mother but look at him now, her passionless son was finally feeling and knowing how it felt to take responsibilities seriously and it was all because of an Omega that had been in his life for six days. It was so heartening!

"Don't you have faith in your Omega, son?" She asserted, staring at him fondly, with so much solace that only a mother could provide.

"I do but..." He trailed off.

"Prince Xiao Zhan might come off so frigid and blank, don't forget he's also human and feels everything we do!"

Wang Yibo nodded. "He looks so strong than anyone I have ever seen but at the same time, he's equally fragile, so delicate,"
