Chapter 2

Zade

Throughout my life, I'd never paid attention to any female or she-wolf who wasn't my mother or my commander. Most were too intimidated to even raise their heads to speak to me.

And yet, here was this female who was also my chosen partner, my mate, my bitch. I never thought the moon goddess would grant me a mate, given my nature and reputation. I hadn't bothered to search for her or dwell on the topic.

But look she stood right in front of me. I felt a strange disappointment; I sensed she was weak, an Omega wolf at my side. How absurd. My life was wild, chaotic—could she even survive a day in my world?

The thought angered my wolf. He didn't agree with my thoughts. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. I couldn't deny her incredible beauty—her unique features, small nose, long brown hair, green eyes, tender lips, a face like a model.

Of course, she was beautiful; she was my mate, chosen by the moon goddess herself. But still, she seemed fragile, vulnerable—too weak for me.

Suddenly, a female—Azura— came running towards us, her hands clinging to my body. I felt a surge of disgust as she bowed and scurried away like a frightened cat.

Brushing her hands off me, I made my way to the dining room where King Matthew sat, wearing a big smile. I ignored his strange grin and scoffed at the elaborate spread before me.

"I hope it's to your liking," he offered, to which I merely nodded.

Azura took a seat beside me, her annoying smile still plastered on her face. It grated on my nerves, making me contemplate snapping at her.

"I'm delighted to have you here, King Zade. It's truly an honor. Please, make yourself at home," King Matthew said warmly.

"The pleasure is mine," I replied coolly. King Matthew had lived for centuries and had a history with my father—a heartless beast who had shaped me into what I was today.

"You've grown into a man who re-creates his father's legacy. I'm sure he's proud of you," King Matthew remarked, his tone slightly cocky with age.

"Surprising, isn't it?" Azura's eyes locked onto mine, and she subtly signaled her father.

"Yes, King Zade. Rumors abound, and it's widely acknowledged that you've lived years without a mate. I've watched you grow, and I speak to you now as a father You can't continue to rule without a queen by your side—a strong, powerful companion who exudes authority and fearlessness," King Matthew continued.

"That's why I've personally trained Zoey, my only child. At age sixteen, she's one of the strongest wolves around. She's fought wars and win victorious. She would make a fitting queen for you," he concluded, and I couldn't help but be amused. The entire invitation was a setup to pair me with his daughter—to which of course, I already knew.

He wasn't entirely wrong; Zoey possessed strength and a personality that could complement mine. However, the old man didn't know that I had already found my mate. Yet, revealing this truth would defy tradition—a powerful Lycan king mated to an Omega would be seen as an abomination.

My mother, the strongest wolf I knew, had commanded respect from an entire pack alongside my father. They ruled millions, and their names were revered. They had been strong together.

But I couldn't lie; it wasn't in my nature. I couldn't simply dismiss the fact that I had found my mate. Suddenly, I felt azura's hand on my thigh, rubbing it slowly in an attempt to seduce me. She bit her lip suggestively, her hand inching towards my cock.

My wolf growled in disgust; he didn't like her at all. I gently grasped her hand and leaned in to whisper in her ear. She looked at me with anticipation.

"I've quite been watching u and admiring you Azura" I lied through my teeth and immediately her eyes lit up.

"Really?" she murmured. I nodded my head as I turned to face king. Azura's hand stayed on my lap and I felt some kind of disgust—she was trying hard to seduce me and Gods knows It’s beginning to get on my nerves.

The king began to babble nonsense as my mind wandered elsewhere. My mate—her image still lingered in my head. Now that I found my mate, The Moon Goddess decided to punished me by giving me someone weak. With so many enemies, around me and once they find out I have a weak mate, they will come after her, using her to punish me and I couldn't risk it.

"So, what do you say?" the king said, clearing his throat. I wasn't really listening to what he had to said. I just nodded without looking at him, digging my fork into the meat in front of me.

Suddenly, I sensed someone approaching. It was her, my mate. Her scent was very pleasant, with a unique quality even for an omega. Her presence was very strong. I looked up at her standing in front of the king, her head bowed and her hair forming curtains in both sides of her head.

The king whispered something in her ear, to which she nodded. I heard everything he said. I rolled my eyes. Was there really a need? He must have known I heard him.

As she took his plate to leave, her eyes finally met with mine and they widen with fear and with looked a little like curiosity.

"Wait," I said and Immediately, she stood stiff and the plate shook in her pale slender fingers. She was frightened by my presence—understandable, given the circumstances.

"Azura will come with me, and I will be considering taking her as mine," Azura removed her hand from my lap immediately and placed them in her lips, stiffening a gasp. The king nodded with a smile.

"I'll instruct the maids to prepare her belongings immediately. There won't be any delays, King Zade. I'm truly honored," the king said.

"Thank you, King Zade. It's such an honor," Azura said, her voice filled with happiness. My eyes never left my mate's as we locked eyes.

"But she comes with me as well."
