Torn between the Lycan Kings; She is my Omega

Ryder

I watch her run away from me, a sense of dread growing in my heart. I do not try to stop her, I do not run after her, I just watch her leave.

I clench my jaw, "Damn it," I curse.

I must have been too forward, now I have scared her away. I grit my teeth, knowing it will be hard finding her again, to worsen it, her pheromones are not that noticeable.

I groan as I take through my hair, "Oh well, I can finally say I found her," I walk back into the woods.

***

"I have found her mother," I announce as I walk into my mother's room where she is sitting on the bed, reading a book.

She whips her head up to look at me, "Found who?" She steadily puts the book beside her on the bed.

"My mate, who else?" I groan, finding a chair, then sitting down opposite her.

Her eyes widen, "You finally found her! Yes! Finally, I can tell Vespera my son will be the rightful heir!" She gets to her feet, spreading her arms, laughing.

I shake my head, "No mother, do not make it look like I want her for the throne," I frown.

She looks back at me, "Oh well, that is your business. Where is she? We must get to her immediately!"

I sigh, of course I do not know where she is.

"She ran away. I did not follow her, well I could not," I clench my jaw.

She scrunches up her nose in annoyance, "What? You just let your mate slip away from you!" The annoyance in her voice is obvious, filled with disdain.

"Listen, I do not want a bad impression of myself to her. Should I have chased her like a rogue, and forced her to stay with me? Mother, you are making this complicated," my breath hitches.

She is clearly not pleased with my words, "Astraeus!"

I look up at her, "Do not call me that," I sneer.

"I will not have you talk to me in this manner, I am your mother," she cries.

I exhale deeply, "I will find her mother," I stand up, "Although that will be hard."

"What do you mean by that?" Her eyes narrow.

"Her scent.." I take in a deep breath, "Is very difficult to trace, and I did not follow her to see where she lived so.."

"Astraeus! In the name of the goddess you need to stop being so foolish!"

I shake my head already tired of her lashes, "Have a nice day," I saunter back to the door.

"Stay right there! I am not done talking to you!"

"What else do you want?" I stay rooted to my spot, but I do not turn to look at her, not even once.

"What am I supposed to tell everyone? The mating season is fast approaching! You need to have that girl with you before it approaches, then you will be crowned King!"

I close my eyes, disgusted by her outbursts. She so desperately wants to be the queen mother, does she not?

I ignore her rantings, walking to the door. The throne as of now is not what bothers me. All I want right now is for me to see her again.

I definitely made a mistake not trying to find out where she lives, it is not as if I can trace her scent, worse she is from another pack!

I have already reached the door, "Astraeus! Do you not know how important this is?"

My ears twitch when she calls me by that name, "Stop it mother. Do not call me by that name. I would rather not snap at you," I growl walking out of the room.

"Astraeus!" I hear his voice, and my face goes red.

I keep on walking, "Stop there! Do not take a step further!" He booms.

I can feel the steam coming out of my ears as I slowly turn around to look at me. I turn to look at my father, Lycan king Thorold, the king of the Crestmoon pack.

"Where is your mate?" He throws the question at me.

I roll my eyes, "How is that any of your business now?" I cross my arms across my chest, looking very dis-interested.

My mother's sharp voice quickly cuts through the conversation, "Do not speak to your father like that! What is wrong with you?!" She hurries towards us hoping to stop a fight which is inevitable.

"Astraeus, for the last time, where is she? I overheard your conversation with your mother, and you think you can act so immaturely towards the whole situation?"

I squint my eyes, "I am acting immaturely because I choose not to be rash like either of you?"

I must have hurt his pride with my words because he immediately comes at me, but my mother holds him back, "Thorold wait! Please do not hurt him?" She wraps her arms around him.

Tsk.

She swirls around to face me with a grimace, "You better find that mate is yours quickly!"

"I already told you mother, It would be challenging to find her again, but I will try my best!"

"It is his problem if he does not find her before the mating season, Ashwin will become the next King instead of him," he turns on his heels.

My mother gasps loudly, "Thorold, what are you saying? He is your first son!"

Is he threatening me? Ashwin is my younger half brother from the whore he married. He would choose Ashwin over me?

I feel the heat in my cheeks rising, "Go ahead then. Let your pack which you built with your sweat crumble under him," I blurt out turning on my heels walking away from there.

I hear my mother whimper, "What is wrong with the both of you!" She is definitely tired of us fighting all the time.

"Astraeus!" My father calls my name, but I do not turn around.

I am already tired of them. Now I just need to find that mate of mine, wherever she is.
