Chapter 147 - The King - V
If there was one thing he had never imagined by taking on the role of the king of the shape shifting realm it was the amount of paperwork that had to be done. They did not live in a democracy but a dictatorship and he wondered, how the hell did there was this much of paperwork here.
He had plans to finish all of his paperwork before attending to his mate. Bringing her into a world completely opposite of the one that she was already living and was going to be a headache that she was not prepared for but eventually have to give in. Adaline was going to make some serious changes to her life including her on that he was now made aware of.
??"Alexander," Xavier acknowledged without looking up as his brother enter his office. Even though Alexander had not even made a sound from his footsteps it had already reached the dominant king's ears.
"My king," he bowed giving the respect that his beast demanded rightfully. "We are prepared for the operation." He informed.
He nodded, dismissing his brother who did not leave.
"What?" Himachal but it not look up from the paperwork as he was too emerged in it. He knew that he had to finish it in one go.
"What happens if she refuses?"
Now, he placed his pen down and looked at his brother. "Refuses what?" Is expressionless face headlong ceased to show any kind of expression to anyone when he was working. If anyone saw a tiny hint of smile that was out of mockery of sarcasm or simply before he was about to cause a storm.
"You know," he shrugged slightly, "refuses the bond."
Xavier scoffed, "if she refuses me then she can go back to that psycho vampire bastard thinks that he could bring back is mate from the dead."
"Xavier you can't do that." He took a seat in front of the devil cap for the visitors and stared at his brother with compassion in his eyes. " You have to understand that whatever happened was not her fault."
" She could have hear—"
" Yes, she could have." He focused on the words, " but after seeing her father le dead next to her how do you think she would have felt after she came to know that there was humans turning into holes and one of them had clamped down his jaw on her leg twice?"
Xavier glared at his brother. No matter how much you want it to look at it from Adil inside all he could feel was the betrayal that his heart felt when his made outright rejected his claim and in the end he had to be put down for weeks.
" You have to consider the fact that she was a human and she was traumatized by all of that. Now that we know that her life is in danger we have to make sure that she understands this life demands from her."
" What does this life demand from her?" Xaveur muttered in his cold voice not bothering to raise it after certain octave. "Can this life of a give a something she wants?"
Alexander smiled sadly, understood where his brother was coming from but also understood that Adeline needed to feel like home also.
"Yes, the possibility of having a full family again. Perhaps not by blood but by relations as that is no greater than anything in the world. We can provide her love for everything she wants and more protection, greater protection than anything else."
"We don't provide protection," he snarled at his brother who snapped his head down when the Alpha in front of him asserted his dominance. "I am going to be possessive on her as more than she would like. I am an Alpha more than you are and when you don't let Ashylnn step out I'm not even going to let adaline leave the bed." His harsh voice barked out taking his brother by surprise.
" We are possessive fuckers and I could only control myself as much as I did when we were in the human world. Here I have rule the packs, the buck stops with me and I ain't controlling my true nature anymore."
" No on—"
" Your highness!" Augustine birds into the door without knocking for the first time slamming the doors on the wall with the force he had opened them with. "Hell, Xavier, we need to move."
His beasts did not hold the disrespects you want to hear the in any offensive manna other than welcomed the information that his friend had brought her. If Augustine had let go of the protocols it meant that there was no Bullshitting around the matter.
"What?"
Even Alexander stood up.
"We were wrong. The mermaid realm had nothing to offer to you before but now they are ready to offer protection to your mate."
"Adeline?" He whispered incredulously, "how the in hell did they gain knowledge about her?" By far adaline was the best kept secret amongst the shapeshifting relan. No one apart from them in this world was supposed to know.
Augustine's silence sprang him into action as he immediately wore the armour and was on his way out to the portals.
"They were having a few noise disturbances and were curious because land dwellers never come, only turn out that Noah was carrying out a the sacrifice a day early. We need to hurry there, the army is ready and already sent."
His mate, his beast frantically raised in his mind as he did in reality from his chair. His feet gained more ground as he walked over to the portals that were on the other side. He ran to it as fast as he could leading the pack to the war. The warriors were ready.
For the first time Xavier broke the protocols and entered the portal himself before letting someone go and scout the area. Only to find out Adeline laying in concrete ground with blood surrounding her.
