Chapter 111
KYLE'S POV
"I'll take over the throne!"
I told my parents who gazed at me as if I just uttered some forbidden words out of the blue.
"Kyle? Are you okay?" My mom asked in surprise.
"I'm fine mum, I'm just ready to take on my responsibilities now." I said with determination.
"Why?" My dad chirped suspiciously.
"Because I'm the heir, and you've always wanted me to take over the throne." I retorted back at them and they couldn't hide their shock.
"I don't know what's gotten into your head but don't you dare back out now that you've just proclaimed that.
I'm glad you came home."
He said trying to hide his excitement and I rolled my eyes.
I've been unfair to them but no one should really blame me. They tried so hard to be my parents when they were not, I watched my parents die before my eyes so calling them mum or dad was the most disgusting thing ever, they've been nothing but nice people who spoiled me silly and all I did was remind them that they will never be my real parents.
I was adopted but they loved me to infinity especially my mum which made me be at loggerheads with siblings.
Yeah, I have two brothers who hated me with passion but will never dare stand before me unless I crush them.
"You need a Luna."
Dad said during lunch and I nodded.
"Yeah, I know "
"Really, who is she? Is it Marcella, did you accept her back?" My mum asked curiously and I shook my head.
"Don't get your hopes high mum, I'm never accepting Marcella back."
"I'm sorry, I just thought you did." Her voice dropped low.
"It won't happen, I'll rather stay single." I folder and she scoffed.
"No…no common Kyle, anyone you bring is fine with me."
"Thanks mum." She smiled and wiped my mouth while I focused on my meal.
I didn't want to do this but I know that the only way to have Zenevieva is having power and authority as a king, not as a pack commander.
I want her, I want to claim her and I can't take it when she keeps getting into danger in that godforsaken Pack.
She keeps getting naive by staying with Tyson when she's seen hell and won't stop seeing it until it kills her.
I'm crazily in love with her to let such a thing happen.
"Whatever the case maybe, I hope she's not someone else's mate.". Dad said and I coughed so hard, wondering why he said that.
"Yes." I said coolly.
"The moon goddess might reject her if she's one, I just don't want anything to stand in the succession of the throne."
He said worriedly and I nodded.
I must have given them a hard time by worrying too much about who would succeed to the throne. Their sons were the least they had in mind and I had clearly told them incessantly that I wasn't interested.
But for Zenevieva, I'll go lengths.
I finished with my lunch and headed inside when one of my men who came with me came inside and bowed.
"Something's wrong? Spit it out." I frowned at him.
"Mudville pack." He said worriedly.
"What's wrong with the pack?"
I asked and stood up, as my heart slammed against my ribcage.
"It was attacked and a threat was laid." He blurted.
"And how is that my business?"
I asked with spite and removed my shirt. I wished the whole pack would be burnt down so I could freely take Zenevieva out of there.
"I'm sorry, it's just you're needed immediately as the Pack's commander."
I scoffed and shook my head.
If I'm ever going to that pack is to take Zenevieva out and not a single soul will stop me, except her.
"Don't call me that anymore ." I warned him.
"I'm sorry." He bowed.
"What are the details of the attack?" I asked curiously anyway.
"Five ladies were abducted, items were stolen and a threat was laid for the King."
"That sounds absurd." I scoffed.
"Yes, it was said that they were on a revenge mission." He explained.
"Whatever, the Luna should better be okay and not get entangled with their sinful rewards. Mudville was too brutal to experience peace now, not after the dangerous things they did to other packs.
It was Karma dealing with them."
I turned to him.
"Send some of the men to Mudville, to keep an eye on Luna."
He bowed at once and left while I sighed.
I'll be crowned on the next full moon as the Alpha of the Terrestrial Stone Pack.
I hate the alpha duties, but I want to give Zenevieva a title.
I want her to be my Luna and make sure she feels extremely comfortable on the pack when she arrives.
I hope my people accept her, my parents automatically don't have a choice and they would gladly do what I want.
"Why did you come back?"
I got startled at once at the voice and went back to my position.
It was obvious the door was open and I seethed.
These young brats of mine won't let me be.
"I came home.." I shrugged.
"What home, you've never loved this place Kyle. You came for a reason." My brother spat out disgustingly and I sighed.
"Don't stress me, Lex. I'm tired."
"You need to go back to Mudville and Green Pack.They take care of you weekly, you're recruiting Beta's from all packs to train almost every month and years and you're filthy rich even without doing anything.
Isn't that enough, why did you come back?
Just go back and live a healthy, quiet life!"
He said coolly and the rage I've never felt towards him clouded before me.
"Get lost Lex!" I yelled.
"You're doing this for that rogue Queen right?"
I gasped in shock and turned to stare at him wide eyed.
"What the fuck did you just say?" I thundered.
"You, I know your every movement Kyle. It was smooth and calm until you started thinking big and going overboards." He said as if he had been monitoring me all this while
"What's your problem Lex?" I said, feeling exasperated with his silly questions.
"The throne!"
He slammed and I chuckled.
This guy wasn't even up to twenty years old, why do they want me to kill them?
Am I the only one to have young siblings? These ones are so annoying.
"The throne is in the general royal hall, go and have it and get lost from sight." I brushed him off and he bit his lips.
"Drop the sarcasm! Stay away from anything that has to do with the throne and go back peacefully Kyle.."
"You're bluffing." I chuckled.
"The throne belongs to me and my brother as the rightful heir and full blooded children of the Terrestrial Pack. Don't fight for it Kyle, it won't be funny. Go back to dad and tell him you don't want the throne and everything will be fine." He said and I shook my head in disbelief and wrapped the towel around my body. This was one of the reasons why I never came here or claimed the throne.
"Too late Lex " I smirked at him.
"You know Baron will flip when he sees you right?He's already on his way to Mudville, it's either you leave the throne or he kills the love of your life " He said and I threw a fierce punch to his nose and smashed his head on the head board of the room.
"I'll kill him!" I laughed with a very warning tone.
"So it's true!"
He laughed out and wiped the blood on his mouth.
"You're in love with her." He scoffed.
"If anything happens to Zenevieva because of you guys, it would turn out really ugly." I was damn serious that he flinched.
"She's mated to Tyson! The king of Mudville Pack, what do you take him for? She's someone else mate, get out from the Terrestrial pack as you've always done and find someone else.
No matter how you think you can change anything with the position of being a king, you can't avoid the moon goddess" He truer to coerced me.
"She will denounce him as his mate."
He chuckled again and I swallowed hard and pushed him off.
"Are you sure?" He asked mockingly.
My heart pace increased with that question and I ruffled my hair.
"She likes me." I tried to convince myself.
"And so what? Has she broken the bond yet? Oh my gosh, you're so naive! Are you sure they haven't been intimate together yet!" He asked and I gritted my teeth.
"Stop it!" I hlared at him.
"I'm not, I'm just reminding you that getting this throne won't get you the love of your life. You loved the wrong person. Get over it." He said.
"Listen to me Lex…"
"No Kyle, listen, I don't hate you for anything aside from the fact that you're outright smart, always glowing and intelligent. You stole the hearts of our parents but you still did nothing wrong."
He licked his lips and craned his neck while I watched him eagerly, itching to hear the next word.
"The truth is, she won't be yours Kyle. You can't go against the universe no matter how you think she hates him. As long as the mate bond isn't broken the same way you broke yours, They will eventually be on good terms and get crazy for each other. It can't be stopped."
He said and my heart broke, that wasn't what I wanted to hear and my stubborn heart won't say no easily. I'm already too whipped
and enchanted to give up. Lex is just saying this so I could back off the throne which is not going to happen as long as I'm here.
I'll still give it a try, I'll have her as mine.
