26. Trapped

A deadly countdown ticked off before Eden's eyes. For an instant, the werewolf had lost all ability to think. His eyes were fixed on the numbers which were inexorably decreasing with each passing second. The male omega would read the same lines over and over again that followed the stats of his completely white-minded fated mate.

[Stats are blocked. The subject has been cursed.

Current debuff: Shifting to werewolf form and wolf form is impossible. Time before death 87 days 19 hours 33 seconds.]

What was that? Time before death? Cursed? Shifting is impossible? This can't be real? But what if it was? Was his mate cursed? Was he going to die? He felt like a stab in his heart and something crashed inside his stomach. Just the idea of losing him was unbearable. He didn't understand what was going on. How could it all be real?

As the omega was lost in thought, the panel changed and additional information popped up as if to answer his questions.
