Chapter 2 Meeting Liam

POV: Liam

"Liam, you need to find a queen to rule beside you by your 30th birthday," one of the councils of elders, Mack, said.

"I am the Alpha King; I do not take orders from you or anyone in this room! My mate is out there somewhere! I will find her!" I growled.

"Within the next month? No, you need to decide on one of the candidates we picked for you, or we will overthrow you. It is the law that the alpha king will have a mate or a chosen mate by the time he is 30. If you choose not to follow this law, we have every right to have you overthrown." Mack growled back at me. Mack is the leader of the council of elders.

"You wouldn't dare! I WILL FIND MY MATE!" I yelled back and stormed out of the meeting chambers. I went straight to my office, and yanked the door a little too hard because it came off the frame. I growled and started tearing my clothes off, jumped right out my window, and brought Kyros, my wolf, to the surface before I hit the ground. I landed on all fours. I shook out my black fur and blue tips. I started to sprint towards the forest, digging my claws into the dirt.

"Let me take control. I need to get out" Kyros growled.

"No. You can stay back there. I need to run", I growled right back.

"They insulted me by saying I needed to take a chosen mate. I will not accept that" he said, back hurt.

" Kyros, we will find her. But I cannot let you take control; you will make us stay out for days in search of her." I pleaded as he was trying to take control. He just wanted his mate. He has been looking for her for almost 13 years.

"LET ME OUT!" He growled. I shifted back to my human form,, I could feel him scratching at the surface and with me being in wolf form, I wouldn't have been able to fight long. Kyros went to the back of my mind. Knowing me in human form, it's harder for him to take control. He will be mad at me for a while. At least he won't bother me.

Kyros is known to be one of the most ruthless wolves in the world. Which is why I am known as the ruthless Alpha King. Most people fear me, or they just want to use me for my power, like the prospects the elders lined up for me. They just want to be with me because I'm the alpha king, nothing else, they just want wealth and power. I just want to find my mate; I want it to calm my wolf down.

"Liam! There you are!" My Beta, Cory, yelled out to me as he threw a pair of gym shorts at me.

"What's going on?" I growled on edge, thinking someone was attacking.

"Nothing, I was just looking for you after the meeting. I followed you, saw you rip your door off, then jumped. I figured Kyros took control after the meeting," he laughed.

"He wanted to," I growled. He started laughing harder. I scoffed

"Hey, I'm just here to make sure you are okay. That meeting was kind of rough," he said sadly.

"I'm fine," I growled out.

"Well, I may have a solution to the mate thing. If you want to hear it," he said hopefully. Kyros perked up at the sound of that. I just glared at Cory.

"If it is another prospect, I am going to kill you," Kyros growled out. I shook my head.

"Give me back control, Kyros!" I yelled at him in our minds as he took control, giving me the chance when Cory caught me off guard with the mate solution.

"Ahh, there he is Kyros, how are you buddy," Cory said while showing his neck to show respect to Kyros.

"Cory, get to the point," Kyros said, puffing out his chest. I scoffed.

"Kyros, can you give Liam back control?" Cory tried to reason. But Kyros just kept pushing me back further.

"NO! SPIT IT OUT BETA!" Kyros yelled at him. Cory instantly bowed down even more, with Kyros using the Alpha tone.

"We will host a Birthday Ball a week before your birthday," Cory squeaked out. I keep pushing forward, trying to get back into control. The ball took Kyros off guard and finally got back into control. I took a deep breath.

"Your back! Goddess, I hate talking to your wolf," Cory sighed.

"Easy he's still at the surface. I had to fight your ball. The idea made him lose some control. Anyway, why a week before my birthday? That means I will have to take a chosen mate. I will not do that," I sighed. Trying to keep Kyros at bay.

"Well, yes, but once you find your mate, that won't matter. You can always dump the chosen mate for the mate the Moon Goddess gives you. That's practically werewolf law, since the mate bond trumps all," Cory explains.

"Set it up. Try to invite as many mateless she-wolves as possible," I ordered.
