The king had summoned both of them. Thought that they have someone's entire family but it had just been the two of them.

"Is something wrong uncle? Alexander asked.

​​

The king shrugged as if he was not aware of it himself which made both of them wary of the situation.

"If given a choice and if the right competition which one of you do you think would be a better candidate to be the next king."

Xavier laughed under his breath, "The question is a bit out of the syllabus, isn't it?"

Nicholas scoffed at that. "Bold of you to assume that there will be things within the syllabus when any of you becomes the king."

"Any of you?" Xavier repeated, taken aback by what his uncle said. "What makes you think Alexander would give his throne to me?"

Alexander was quiet and this did not go unnoticed by the king.

"Alexander, as one May put it, does not seem quite excited by the idea of becoming the king shortly." He turned to the younger nephew, "So, I am the rest of my council came up with the idea of giving you both a series of tests and find out which one of you is ready and more liable to become the king."

Fuck.

Xavier without waiting for a beat to pass immediately stood against the idea. "I can't—"

"Human mates might not be as common as we want them to but they are not much rare as well. If the queen happens to be human I don't think many Lycans would have that problem. The younger generation believes to have a strong and independent Queen which I believe your made would be. Which is why God fated her to you."

He was in panic still. He was already in a massive amount of guilt for not telling her who he was and at the top of that, he had to tell her that he was going to be a king. There was no doubt that Adeline was going to run for The hills.

He turned to his brother who has not commented on it as he had. "Say something." He urged.

Alexander glanced at him before saying, "I think it is fair. My brother should have an equal chance in competing against me."

Xavier snaps his neck to the side where his brother-sister and glared at him. He had to apologize to his mother because today she was going to have one son standing.

The king nodded. "Alright then. I will call you when we have the task ready."

Both of them nodded and board a little to the king after which they left the room. The moment the door opened Alexander ran in as much as speed he could knowing that the footsteps coming after him were his brothers.

He slammed himself into his parent's room and immediately fell on the floor with his brother tackling him.

"Mom! Save me!"

"Save you?" Xavier got his head in a headlock and growled at him. "You did the exact opposite of what you were supposed to!"

"Mom!" Alexander tried only to look up along with Xavier who was quiet as well.

The parents were looking at both of them in shock with the duvet covering their naked bodies.

"Oh. . " The boys lowered their gazes.

"Yes oh." Their father repeated who looked annoyed as hell while their mother had bashfully looked away. "Get the fuck out!" He roared and scrambled to get up and left the room but not before closing the door.

Both of them ran out of there and did not stop until they had come to Alexander's room.

"Why the fuck did you go there?" Xavier panted still horrified.

Alexander groaned and hid his face in his hands. "I thought that you would be able to save me from you."

"Well done dipshit." Xavier snapped at him. "Now we have to work on getting that image out of our heads."

******

Opening an Instagram account saying that the best option ever because we have the images of Adaline and hand on his phone and they were in hundreds if not thousands.

In every picture like she had asked him to he had get clicked random and candid pictures. She looks beautiful to everyone even though she had rejected them.

She was so beautiful, he sighed. Sometimes it felt that he should participate in the running for the king because then Adaline would be a true queen and not just of his heart. She would have every luxury of the world and his love and protection.

It would be worth it.

But won't it also be a betrayal to his brother? Even though Alexander was not ready to become the king it did not mean that it was going to be forever. It could only be cold feet and with practice, he would learn to be a leader which is why it made it difficult for him to decide.

He sighed and stood up. He had to ask his parents about it.

But would she like it?

Instead of going to his parent's room, he moved to the class that where his crown was kept along with his mate's was going to have. It was truly beautiful and was embedded with diamonds.

She would look good in it. The golden crown would be beautiful on her red hair. He sighed blissfully at that.

The thought to give her Kingdom to rule and people to call her queen was something that was taking over his mind. She has unlimited people to protect and her kind-hearted nature would win the hearts of people.

Should he? It would be the dream of any maid to make sure that his beloved would have a crown on her for her and people bowing down to her.

If he had the chance to make a true Queen of the most powerful species ever worked on any realm, maybe he should take that chance.

He smiled and closed the door to the closet. The end decision still is in Adeline's hands.
