Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

He moved across the room and put his phone on charging. His mate could call him anytime, so he had to be ready. 

"You don't understand what I feel!"

Alexander was right there. Xavier did not understand what he was feeling but he was never even trying to understand because for him, he had his own life with his mate that he had to protect till the very end and if he took to the throne, protecting a human-mate from entire supernatural would be very difficult than protecting Ashlynn.

He would never let anyone get into the relationship that he had with Alexander but at the end of the day, it was Adeline that he had to spend his life with.

So, he shook his head. "The date to your coronation is coming close which is why you probably feel So anxious about it. Don't worry you have been prepared for this all your life. Don't worry nothing is going to happen." He assured staring into his brother's eyes letting his best connect. 

Alexander visibly looked trouble from the whole situation and there was nothing that he could do to make it better. Certain situations in life did not have a grey area it was either white or black, no grey.

A similar situation was with Alexander it was either that he would become the king or he would not. But with the given circumstances that the like and kingdom was already going through it was highly unlikely for someone as responsible as Alexander to abdicate The throne. It would only tell people one thing that after their uncle died, they would still not be a stable rule.

That for one of the most powerful species to ever worked on any realm would be a clear disgrace.

"Listen," Xavier sighed and tried to make his brother understand that he understood what was happening. "I understand the responsibility you are talking about is certainly massive and I'm not even joking about that. Making sure that a whole species exist and in fact coexist with a lot more others that have differences is a hard job but Alexander you are the perfect guy for it."

Alexander was scent changed and Xavier picked it up immediately. "I can't." His brother shook his head. "It's too much. I can't take it."

The pressure was too overwhelming. "Can you imagine that one mistake and people would come at us and would throw us over! It would be a whole Mary Anthony scene."

"Marie Antoinette." Xavier corrected and sighed in tiredness. He had hoped to catch up on some sleep but his brother needed help and he had to prioritise him as well. But this was completely different. He had no idea how to help Alexander in this situation. "Alexander it's the middle of the night and I really cannot think of how to help you better except for telling you that you are the man for the job. So how about we discuss this in the morning?"

Alexander shook his head. "The fact that in the morning our parents would know . . . . . haunts me."

"But they are our parents," Xavier argued, "Why the fuck can you be haunted by them? Out of all the people they are the ones that are going to help us!"

Alexander nodded in the end, just to cut the conversation short. He knew that they would never understand the extent to which his anxiety ran into the situation. Being responsible for someone was not a small issue and it was for when someone was involved with the whole race.

So he just nodded and left the room. The least he could do for the moment was take a good or run and left his beast free and give the thinking for him. Because at the end of the day it was the beast inside him that decided what he had to do. The beast that commanded a shitload of people.

Ashlynn was just around the corner and smiled as she saw him. "Hi, did you eat? Should I warm up something for you?" He shook his head.

"Walk?" He offered and she nodded.

That was the best about Ashlynn, she cared for him and knew when not question his decision as there was a certain reason for it. The only thing he could not watch wad her crumble under the same pressure as he was being.

"What's up?'" she asked in a soft voice as they walked outside and into the forest.

He sighed slowly before letting it all go. "I don't think I am ready to be a king."

"What made you think that?"

He shrugged, "This intense pressure that tells me I have to make sure we coexist with every species that is out there. Sometimes I feel like it's a weight on my shoulders that is burdening me to the ground."

Ashlynn held his hand even tighter as their respect of the sound from far into the forest. The pack for celebrating tonight and Alexander was going to join them.

"I think not. I think you will do just fine." She raised their joint hands and kissed his. "I just think that it is you underestimating yourself under the pressure."

He eyed her from the corner of his eyes. He saw confidence and adoration for him in her eyes which immediately made him feel better. Warmth in his heart and his beast stood up proud.

"Do you believe so? Because if I become the king you will automatically become the Queen."

She smiled at that. "I am already the queen of your heart. If I wasn't it would have been difficult but since I have it's going to be easy to win over people's hearts."

"Your highness, Queen A—"

"There's the young king to be!" The alpha of the pack roared and immediately had the attention of the young couple.

They smiled gratefully and nodded the head in respect.

The alpha beckoned them close and they walked forward becoming the centre of attention immediately. Alexander could not help but glance at his mate. He could not recite the entire title and somehow it made him even more anxious.
