Zara and La are following the half-man beast through the deepest part of the woods, their hearts racing with fear but also excitement.
"Do you think that's the unicorn," Zara whispers to La.
"I don't know, " La replies. "But this is one adventure I wasn't expecting."
Before they have time to think about it, the half-man beast stops in his tracks and turns to face them. "What are you doing here," he roars. "No one should be here and especially not two non-awakened humans. You're putting yourselves in danger." Zara and La are speechless as the half-man beast asks them if they are non-awakened Alpha and Omega. They look at each other in confusion before Zara tries to deny that La is an Omega. But the half-man beast keeps sniffing them and says he will be bringing them with him to his kingdom, where other people like him are, where kings, queens, and royals are all awakened Alphas and Omegas. Its a place where Omegas are rare and precious. Zara and La are speechless, not sure what to make of the shocking revelation. Is this real life? Or just a dream?
Zara and La hesitate to go with the half-man beast. They feel uncertain and scared. Zara doesn't want him to find out about La's omega blood, so she tries to come up with excuses not to go with him. The half-man beast grabs them by the arms, but Zara still resists. But she stops resisting when he says, "Come with me." Why do we have to go with you?" La asks, afraid.
"Your omega blood is rare and precious, " the half-man beast says. "You are too valuable to stay here." Zara denies that La is an Omega, asking why Omegas are rare. The half-man beast says, "Omega are needed to make children and can only mate with one alpha, whether it's a boy or a girl." "So you're saying L... My girlfriend is an omega and she's rare? What about me?" Zara asks.
The half-man beast nods, saying, "I'm guessing your little girlfriend here is a royal omega, so that makes it even worse. There are only a few omega in our kingdom."
"You still haven't answered my other questions," Zara says to the half-man beast, sounding more confused than furious. "What about me?"
In response, the half-manbeast shrugs and says, "If you have already mated with this royal omega, then we might need you."
"Why?" Zara asks suspiciously.
"Because omega can only mate with one alpha," he replies, "and apparently you have alpha blood in you." Zara and La exchange a look, confused. Zara turns to the half-man beast and says, "But what does that mean for me?"
The half-manbeast is starting to find Zara's questions annoying and stupid. He replies to her in a rude way, telling her that if she wasn't paying attention to a single thing he just said, she should just ask her girlfriend what he said to answer that question of hers.
La tries hard to hold back her laughter, but it just comes out, making Zara look at her in annoyance.
"Enough with the chit chat," the half-man beast says, breaking the tension. "We're almost at my kingdom."
