The king's mate was coming.The news had reached everyone in the castle including the Queen mother, Cassandra and her husband, Javier and that had out both of them in worry.

Cassandra shook her head. "I do not agree with that. I do not agree with her coming into this world directly."

​​

"She knows about us." Javier disagreed. "Cassandra my love you were a few men as well and let me tell you the bond does not effect you half or even a forth of what effect it has on us." He took her in his arms. "We lose our ability to taste and see colours. The life we live in the absence of our mate don't worth living."

Cassandra licked her lips and snuggled into her husbands arms. "I . . . Just don't agree with having her brought here. The last time we saw her was with the dead body of a father. She did not even hold the funeral here, Javeir. She hates us." She sniffed.

Her mate sighed. "I don't agree with this, love. Because I am a Lycan and I need you more in my life than you will ever need me. So much so that Cassandra you will survive after I die but if anything happens to you," he sighed and kissed her forehead, "I would willingly end my life."

"But—'

The doors slammed opened and Ashlynn arrived in to the chambers. "Oh my god, I just heard!" Concern and fear wafted off of her. "What now?!"

"Why is it such big issue?" Javier sighed harshly. "His mate eventually had to arrive in this world and now is better than ever. We need stability and this would be a good start."

Ashlynn casted a worries glance at Cassandra before answering Javier. "Xavier has changed. I would have not said this as he is the new king of all the shape shifting realms but it is a different change. He is cold now, rough in the way he talks and how he beheaves. He no longer cares for anything in general."

Javier stared down at her. Her wolf was not strong as compared to the elder Lycan in front of which is why she immediately submitted and bared her neck to him.

"Ashlynn, answer me this," Javeir stepped closer to her, "Has be not cared for the country enough?"

Ashlynn glanced at him before shaking her head no. "He has been a good king." She muttered.

"What?" Javeir barked making the two women jump in fright. "Speak louder! This was not the tone you used when you told me that my son has changed!"

"I said that he is a good king." The girl said a little louder.

"Javier," Cassandra appeared next to Ashlynn. "What is wrong with you?" She frowned and looked at him with accusing eyes. "Why talking to her like that? She just expressed her concerns."

He scoffed. "None of you have a nice day how it feels to have a mate for your entire life knowing that you will never had a second chance one." He spat. "Wolves and humans often fall in love after losing their mates but Lycans not so lucky about it. Do you know that you can easily move on but we can't?"

None of them said anything.

"I want to wear none of it!" He commanded and his beats made his presence known. "My son and our king, should have his mate brought in whenever he wants and if he thinks that today is the right time for it then it will happen just very day." He slammed the doors on the way out and Ashlynn cried in relief as soon as she presence of the Lycan disappeared.

"My dear," she cooed. "Don't you worry."

"They've all changed so much." Ashlynn hicupped. "Its not fair. How will she ever cope?"

Cassandra gulped at the thought but didn't say anything. She had no idea what was going to happen next.

"I don't know." She admitted.

"They have changed for the best. I understood for Xavier changing after is mein left him but they have all changed so much. No one sees anything!" Ashlynn cried and Cassandra looked away.

The same thing that she had been doing over and over again.

******

"What do you plan to do?"

Xavier for his father say from behind him. He bit back a smile because it was always that his father would come back to him and ask what was the next step.

He shook his head. "Nothing. She would be coming back, that's all."

Javier gave an weary sigh. "What if she does not want to come back?"

His beast growled in his head but Xavier did not move or speak anything. His beast was angry at the question that she would refuse to come back but there's a new better.

"She is not going to have the option to come back." He rose his face up and met his father's eyes with his own. "I have given her frequent chances to forget me and to listen to my explanation but I have had the door Bank in front of my face more times than I can count!" He growled at the end making the table shake.

At the show of power, Javier immediately snapped his head down in front of the king's ms bared his neck in submission.

The kings beast was far more powerful and dominant can anyone out there and no one can stand in front of him, challenging him for authority.

His beast was restless and now so was he so Xavier stood up and walked to the window to breathe in the fresh air of his own realm. Even though they had transportation hair the air in this world was much more cleaner than that of the human one. This world was more beautiful and better. The beasts were loyal to him and so would be to his mate. So frankly this world was a better place for Adeline to live in.

He smirked at the thought. His mate was coming back and this time no one could take her from him and he would see to it that she was duely punished for running away from him.
