The omega waited to feel pain but it never came. A minute, then two have passed, his heart was racing as he listened at the silence in that chamber.

A set of laughter eerily echoed, a teasing voice directed to the King said, "Mate! Mate! Mate! Ask him who he is!"

"I'm Wei Z-Zhan." The omega replied, eyes still closed, in fear of the King's legendary Bichen. He remembered the dismembered body parts of his perpetrators and his stomach churn, nauseated at the grotesque scene. He needed to survive, his incapacitated sister is waiting for him at home. If he dies, so will she soon after.

"You can hear me?" The wolf strolled in front of him in the air. Zhan peeked with one eye and saw the beautiful creature an inch from his face.

"Beautiful." He stared at the bluish eyes and his hand automatically reached to nuzzle its white fur, but his hand only went through the white smoke. "I can't touch you?" He mumbled, disappointed, yet the white wolf smiled and laughed galloping to the King's side. "He can see me! He can hear me! Mate!"

Yibo waved his hand and that bounded Wangji back inside him. Zhan frowned a little when the beautiful wolf disappeared.

All the while Zhan was kneeling on the floor interacting with Wangji, the King was watching him. His face was still marked by dirt and dried blood, so Yibo couldn't really marvel at the beauty of the omega. Yet there was something in him, in his eyes, in his voice which calls to him.

What surprised him most is that the omega could see his spirit Wangji. 'How?' Yibo asked himself. Sorcery is still widely known, 'he might be one of them?' That could explain his scent as well. 'But who will dare enchant and play against odds with The King?'

"My Lord?" The mellow voice pulled Yibo back to the here and now. "May I please be dismissed? My sister is waiting for me at home." The man ducked his head in respect.

The thought of separation made a stab in Yibo's chest. He was surprised to feel something in there. The place which he thought will forever be empty and cold.

He could hear Wangji laughing again.

'This wolf!" Yibo tensed his jaw, darting his eyes at the omega.

He was unsure why he suddenly came in his life. Was he really his Mate? But how could it be?

"You are my mate. You cannot leave." His voice was authorative when he said that.

The omega shook his head, blinking madly. "N-No, My Lord." He said. "My mate died during the war."

That snapped Yibo into a burst of anger. How could such a lowlife denied him?! The King! The Ruler of Earth!

His arm pinned the omega against the wall, his fingers gripping his neck.

Fear was obvious in the omega's eyes. Tears brimmed in there but he fought to take the liquid back his ducts. "My mate died during the war." He repeated. "10 years ago." He struggled to lift his left hand and show the King the inexistent thread of fate.

Pain attacked Yibo's nerves and he shivered and quivered, losing strength. He doesn't want to believe he wasn't his mate, neither does he want to believe he is his'. His intellect and reason fought with his tinge of hope finding his other half.

But his longing won in the end. He grasped the omega's hand desperately and both were surprised when a faint blue light glimmer then died down on their left ring finger.

"It couldn't be." Yibo was shell-shocked, staring at the omega on his front. 'You found him.' Wangji nudged his chest from with in.
