Chosen for the Realm

Unexpected Visit

EMILE

I arrive at the salon to join my mother and father for our visit to the Bloodstar pack. I'm nervous, as you already know, because I'm not anticipating this meeting at all. Now that Karielle knows my secret, I'm really hoping she can start to trust me. I know I've messed up by doing the vile things I have done to her at the direction of my mother, but if I didn't participate, my mother would start to suspect something going on, and punish me as well. She thinks I want this power as much as she does. She tells me I will be the heir to the realm if her plan succeeds, and I'm trying my best to prevent that from happening. When I met my mate, it was an automatic standstill. We couldn't stop staring at eachother, I felt dumbfounded at first because it was nothing like I had expected, but it was still incarcerating my heart to say the least.

"Emile, are you ready son?" My father, Alpha Christian, asked me. "This could be the day we've all been waiting for Emile!" My mother shouts, she has no idea that she has nothing to be excited for, but I play along anyways. "It would be nice if my mate was apart of the biggest pack in the realm, wouldn't it?" I say with as much joy as I can muster. Although I want to say I've already found her and they will just have to deal with it, but I know I can't, not before ensuring we will both be safe first. My mate is the most beautiful goddess I have ever seen, and we have alot of good looking werewolves around here. She has silver blonde hair and these sparkling clear grey eyes. The first time she looked at me, it was like looking into a center diamond in an 8 carat wedding ring, reflecting off of the light. Her body, oh her body, with curves in all the right places, she stood at 5'1, and had the plumpest behind that I cannot wait to squeeze the moment I bring her to my bed. I know I know, I'm getting ahead of myself here. My mate is a Princess of the Sorcerer's realm, and she is none other than the niece of King Sebastian. I met her last year during a trip to the Bloodstar pack, to celebrate the Queen's birthday. In the King's pack, his immediate family are allowed to visit on special occasions. Not everyone takes well to this, but he is the King and what he says stands, no matter who objects to it.

Our driver, Santi, pulls up to the driveway in front of our double doors. He has to drive us around in one of the black shiny luxury cars that looks like it would hold the president, my mother thinks it makes us look superior, anything to make her seem like she is more powerfulthan what she is. I have my suitcase ready to hand over as he hops out of the driver's seat, and he grabs mine along with my mother and fathers to place in the trunk, and then we all hop in to head off on the 3 hour drive to the Bloodstar pack.

"Emile, how are you feeling?" my father asks, and of course I can't be honest with him no matter how much I want to. "I'm feeling great dad, can't wait to see what the future holds for me." I reply, hoping they wouldn't keep asking me questions. My mother just sits there quietly, so I turn my head to look out the window as we drive along the 2 lane road. On the way, theres really nothing to look at but trees and wildlife, as we keep ourselves in nature as much as possible. I have so much on my mind, that I decide to push it away and try to sleep the rest of the drive.

We arrive to the to driveway of the castle, and I can see the pure golden gates in the distance. We pull up to a guard cabin, and Santi conversates with the guard working the window. "Here for a meeting, Midnight Pack, they're expecting us." The guard gives a nod and a salute, he then pushed a buzzer and the gates start to open. We drive on through until we see the big double wooden doors. Once we arrive out front, A woman wearing royal attire among a few of their omegas greet us as we're getting out of the car. "Hello Alpha Christian, Luna Margaret, and Alpha Emile. Let us take your suitcases to your room, the King and Queen already have accomodations set for you. Their majesties will be awaiting you in the cafeteria, Jenny will be your escort." Jenny is the one wearing the royal attire. The royals and their close workers all wear maroon and gold lined outfits, dresses for the women and suits for the men. After we hand off our luggage, we follow Jenny in to the castle. I couldn't help but stare at first, because I'm sure I have seen her in our territory before, I just can't quite put my finger on it. We arrive at the cafeteria to see King Sebastian and Queen Moira waiting to greet us, but they had other company we were not expecting, nor do I remember seeing them before today. I can sense that the 2 men standing next to the King and Queen are Alpha and Beta, however I do not know their names. My mother curtsies and my father bows in front of their majesties "Greetings my King and Queen, thank you for accepting our invitation to find our son's mate. We are honored to be here, and our son couldn't be more grateful that you're allowing him the opportunity to do so, right Emile?" "Yes, thank you so much Your Majesties for welcoming us here, I've been looking forward to this day all week!" I replied in fake enjoyment. "No worries, we would love to help in anyway we can. Have you met the new pack? They've just moved into the territory next to ours, right on the opposite side of the castle. This is Alpha Daxton, and his Beta Axel from the Red Dawn pack" We all extend our hands one at a time for a handshake to them both, and I felt a cold chill sensation when my hand interlocked with Daxton's, I didn't understand where the feeling came from, but I brush it off as my father extends his welcome. "Great to meet you, Alpha and Beta. I would definitely love to take the time to get to know you, maybe form an alliance if possible." My father says to the Alpha, and I can't help but notice my mothers whole demeanor change. It's like she froze in stone once she saw the Alpha up close, and I can't help but get a funny feeling that she may know of these wolves. Their scent is different, and they don't smell like a regular old werewolf, their power seems alot stronger than most. No, it can't be possible, The Queen and her sister are supposed to be the last known Lycans in the Realm, but their scent doesn't lie. They are definitely Lycan, and I know my mother and father sense it too.

"Well now that we have that out of the way, let us sit and enjoy our feast!" The King shouts in cheer, and we're all shown to our seats once the King and Queen are seated. A servant of their Majesties start to serve our plates. Our prepared dinner consists of, from what I can see, a Smoked Brisket adorned with all kinds of herbs and vegetables around it such as potatoes, carrots, corn and a variety of fruits, along with buttered rolls. "Would you like a glass of wine sir?" the servant asks, and I nod my head as I feel I need to indulge to endure my stay here. I look over to my mother to see she is also taking a glass of wine, along with my father. Ever since we met the new Alpha and Beta, my mother is not acting of herself, and I'm sure my father notices it too, but he doesn't say anything, i know he wouldn't want to cause any questioning of his precious wife. He loves my mother more than anything, but that would change if he found out the woman hiding inside herself.

"Let us Feast!" Says the Queen, and everyone begins eating from their platter. I see a side eye from the new Alpha, Daxton, and he keeps looking at me as if he saw a ghost. I don't indulge in conversation though or ask any questions, instead I turn my head to the King who decides to start up conversation. "So Emile, what are you looking for in your mate?" He asks me, and I honestly didn't expect his quetioning so quickly, but I have to answer as to not draw any suspicion. "Honestly, Your Majesty, I just want a loyal and honest woman to stick by my side that I can depend on and start a family with. I've always wanted a family of my own, seeing how I'm an only child I never have been able to experience the bond of a sibling, and would love to have that in my children one day." I replied. He seemed to like my answer, as he himself didn't have any siblings either. "I see, I'm belated to know you're a family man, as I am myself. There is nothing more important than family. Moira and I, we have always wanted a child ourselves, someone to take over when we can no longer do our jobs, but that was cut short when we lost our baby at birth. We dont want anyone to feel sorry for us, as we are still trying, and one day we dream to make that happen." Sebastian tells me nonchalantly, he does seem like the kind of man that would be a great father and family man himself. "Moira does have a sibling though, as you know, and I'm sure she can tell you more about that." The King smiled at his wife, and Moira giggled. "Yes, Emile, having a sibling is a great thing. I mean it isn't all apples and caramel, but it's really nice to have someone there for you no matter the circumstance, as my sister has done for me. Sebastian looks at my sister Milandra's husband as a brother, so he is able to tell you the same. I hope you are able to have that one day, and if not, you will be able to create the same when the time comes." I couldn't help but have puppy eyes at Moira, she is so sweet and such a motherly figure, no wonder she has the title of Queen. Alpha Daxton seems to cough on his food, and quickly gathers himself. "Alpha Daxton, are you alright?" Queen Moira questions. "Yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking. I think it just went down the wrong hole." He replied while laughing and taking his hankerchief to wipe his mouth. "Hey Emile, I can't help but say it out loud, you look so much like someone I used to know, even though he is long gone, I'm unnerved by seeing how much you look like him." Daxton says to me, and at that statement my mother's face went whiter than the tablecloth that supported our dinner plates.
