"Your highness you have to eat something or you'll fall sick, you've been crying for 3 hours now and you're refusing to eat, do you think doing this will make the situation better? If anything it will only make your parents more worried" one of Minji's maids said.

Ever since Minji ran from his parents' chamber he has been locked up in his room crying and not allowing anyone to enter, and now everyone is worried about him.

"Your highness, please let me in at least" Soji said from outside and Minji decided to open the door but only for her.

"You've been crying for hours, why don't you tell me what happened, you have never come out of your parents' chamber with a sad face unless it bad news about Luna's health" Soji said and Minji's cries got louder at the mention of his mother and the fact that her guess was right.

Minji told Soji about everything that his parents told him including the matting talk.

"I know it won't be easy for you to accept the news of your parents'leaving you but you're only looking at it from the negative side ' Soji said while holding Minji's hands in her own.

"How can such terrible news has a positive side" Minji said, not understanding what Soji was trying to say.

"Listen, the head alpha and Luna are not just your parents and you're not the only one who is going to morn their deaths, we're all sad about this unfortunate thing that is going to happen to them but what most people including yourself fail to see is that they are also going to rest" soji explained.

"I still don't understand what you're trying to say and what do you mean by rest" Minji asked he had stopped crying by now and was busy trying to understand what Soji was trying to say.

"Luna has had heath problems long before you were born and 5 year after giving birth to you she only got worse, your parents don't let you know or see how she cries out of pain because of the illness and the head alpha isn't any better because the weaker Luna gets, the weaker their meeting bond get which causes pain to both of them"

"I overheard them talking after you ran away. I wanted to inform them that you had locked yourself in your chamber and overhead them saying .

Flash back

"I'm not happy about us lying to him about what the doctor said" Minji's mother said

"Did you want me to tell him the truth, you wanted me to tell him that the doctor didn't say anything about your health. You wanted me to tell him that we know that we're going to die soon because our bond has become very weak. Or do you want me to tell him that our wolves told us that we're going to die on-"

"Don't say it, please " Minji's mother said and cried while hugging her husband.

"Wait my parents know what day they're going to die" Minji said shocked, he didn't know that wolves can tell you when you're going to die.

"If a wolf who is mated is about to die due to an illness, their inner wolf is able to detect how weak their bond is getting and they can automatically sense when the bond will break, which means that the day the bond breaks is the day that they will die" Soji explained

"So instead of you thinking negatively about their deaths, think of it as your parents are finally going to be free from the pain they've been going through because of that illness their whole lives " Soji said

"Well now that you explained it to me I guess you're right but that doesn't mean I'm still okay with loosing both of them" Minji said with a pout.

"Of course, you've all the right to feel that way, after all they're your parents" Soji said a gave Minji a small smile.

"You've helped me with the situation about my parents, well more like helped me see the positive side of it, but how will I deal with the matting?" Minji released a loud sigh

"I still don't understand why you're not willing to go along with this matting arrangement, every omega and beta dreams of mating Jungwoo. He's good looking, comes from a good family and has won every battle he's gone to and like that isn't enough he is also a pure breed alpha" Soji said all of this to Minji in hope that he will become interested in the alpha.

"You seem to like him very much, why don't you mate him than" Minji said still having a pout on his lips.

"Your highness did you forget that I'm mated"

"I was just joking, but I've made up my mind, I won't marry anyone that I do not know" Minji said and stood up from his bed

"You can get to know each other after mating"

"No means no, and why are you trying so hard to convince me anyway? What will you gain from this" Minji questioned

"I want you to be happy with a family of your own and I'm scared of what will happen to you after your parents are gone. Everyone will be hunting for your head in order to become the next leader and it won't take them very long to kill you, after all you're just an omega" Soji continued "you call me your friend and I'm just concerned for my friend, I wish there was more we could do as omegas but without an alpha's protection this world will become hell for you" Soji said trying to make Minji understand how his live was in danger.

"No one will harm me and if they try, an alpha will come to my rescue and that will be the alpha that I'm meant to be with" Minji said as he day dreamed about how he wants his love story to be.

"Those things only happened in books your highness, you're very lucky to have such good parents who are doing something good for you" Soji said

"What do you mean" Minji asked as he sat back down on his bed.

"All omegas born in the head alpha's family are always sold to another pack for gold or important goods and some are killed when they are born. Even those who aren't born in the head alpha's family are also treated that way" Soji said

"I know that, but it not everyone, some mate out of love, like you " Minji said with a small voice.

Soji chuckled "your highness you're too innocent, yes there are some who mate out of love but they end up being killed by their families, the only way you can mate someone for love is if you fall in love with an old alpha who only wants your body. Every family treats an omega's marriage as a way to gain something " she continued "and as for me, I was sold to my mate's family so my father can have money to save his farm. I just got lucky because my husband was only 3 years older than me and he had fallen in love with me, otherwise I could be with some old alpha right now "

"But I'm still very young"

"Your highness you're very lucky to arrive at the age of 19 without being married. Omegas get married from the age of 12-13 , I myself was married at the age of 13 and by the age of 19 I was pregnant with my 4 child, so you should be grateful to your parents for not treating you like an object" Soji said

"I hate when you're right" Minji said

"I'm just trying to look out for you, and at least do this for your parents' seck, just fulfill their last wish before they are gone" Soji said as she stood up to leave.

"Soji"

"Yes your highness?"

"Help me pick something beautiful to wear when our guest's arrive, I don't want to leave a bad first impression on my future mate, after all first impressions are very important" Minji said, then turned around and gave Soji a small smile.

"Yes your highness, and please eat your food" Soji said with a smile and left the room.
