"The people are aware." Augustus added on the end of thier session. "Someone must have told them that your mate is coming back to the room as your queen."

"Not as my queen." He corrected and for the rest he did not bother to comment.

Augustus opened his mouth once but did not say anything Radha close that shot. He was well aware of the temperament that the king and his beast went through on a daily basis which was not uncommon when given there was an absence of made.

In the king's case it was only about increase as their Queen was brought home.

"Why not us our queen?" The beta whispered. "She is meant to be the ruling queen of all shapeshifting features."

The king scoffed. "She would hate the attention brought on her." Xavier knew very well and knew that adaline would you hate the attention that would be brought on her if she was declared the queen of the country.

"She would hate it." He sighed knowing how his mate was. But there was nothing that they could do about her. He would have paid attention to what he wants and needs verb but now he was going to prioritise himself after she left him without any explanation or even after him begging to give her one.

He was now the king of the supernatural rem of all the shapeshifting kind and she would sit on the throne next to him and fact even below him just like his beast would want.

He had been denied enough and now it was time for him to get his maid back like he wanted.

Augustus sighed. "We need our queen to come back. There has to be a shift in energy, we are dwindling in numbers as it is."

Xavier tsked. "Of course," he muttered. "Then there is that."

The queen was also a source of fertility and mother had. If he as the Alpha was supposed to protect the back then Adaline, as the queen and Luna was supposed to nurture the back to grow.

With the absence of the queen the park has suffered full stop there was no new growth and miscarriages at its highest count. The children that were being born could barely survive or make it to the six month mark and it was affecting the health of the females as their heat also deteriorating in numbers.

"It will all be taken care of us—"

"Xavier!" The doors flew open and Cassandra flew in. She was enraged by what she had come to know but then come down visible even she saw the beta wolf standing. "Beta Augustus would you give us a few moments?" He was no one. He could not show authority unless commanded by the king himself.

"Respectfully so, madam but that is up to the king." He bowed and turned to his highness who have not bothered look away from the paperwork he was now doing.

Xavier gave a small nod seemingly not even wanting to waste his energy at it.

Augustus walked out on the huge doors closed after him.

"What did I just hear Xavier? How could you do this?!" She yelled at the top of her voice not caring if the wolves outside the office winced.

He threw her a glance. "What?"

She sighed aggressively. "What in the world were you thinking when you made this decision of separate rooms inside your own! Mates can never—"historical

"Mother, I would like to stop you there," he raised his index finger slightly in the air but did not look at Cassandra. "Whatever I decide to do with my mate is something that is completely up to me. It was her choice when she chose to work without having me give her any explanation and now if I want to talk to her I will goddamn do so." He growled in the end.

"You have sympathy is with my mate you can share them but nothing can have me stop from it. For her, there is no way out of this and the soon she gives up the better it will be for all of us."

"She won't love you because of this." A rear slipped past her eye. "She would hate all of us because of this," she shook her head and sat in front of her child, "think about it. Thinking about how sensitive and innocent that girl is, of course when her father died and there was a bunch of wolves along with a surrounding them she was going to take us the enemy."

"Hmm, I don't care." He muttered taking his mother by surprise.

"Are you even listening to yourself?" She recoiled back in shock. "That is the girl you loved."

"That is the girl who left."

She laughed, "she had too! The poor girl was traumatized."

Xavier closed in eyes as he tried to control his emotions. It was difficult but in all of these months he had gotten the best control he could ever had on himself.

He placed the pen in between the pages and closed the file. The folded arms on his chest he looked up at his mother. "You know that I have made changes to my bedroom because I am bringing her here. Do you know why?"

She didn't answer him rather kept staring at him with a pitiful look annoying him greatly.

"Would you stop with those looks, I have been receiving them from everyone now. The last thing I want is my own family giving me a fair share of them."

He stood up and his mother do so as well out of respect for the king. "Do me a favour and do not discuss this topic again. What I do with my mate is purely my concern unless until asked for help that is." He sighed and tapped his fingers twice.

"Madam," the gaurds bowed, "The kings wants to be left alone."

After all, alone he all but was.
