Few Week Later...….

Dominique condition is getting worst as days goes by but he still refuses to tell this to higher ups or Miles because he knows they will force him to take a mate.

At the moment they preparing for Annual Banquet being hold in coming weeks at palace. This is the occasion many people look forward to. They attend in hope of finding their mate from different pack or race.

Dominique against finding his mate but he doesn't want this fate for other's so he didn't complain about it even though he knows his parents and higher ups going to nag him to get a mate.

His parent's King Damian and Queen Anna are out in official journey to kingdom Elvfrost where Elf's who Skilled in Ice magic lives. They will be returning before Banquet takes place.

"Dominique what you are going to do if higher ups told you to take a mate?" Adrian asks.

"F*ck them" Dominique said showing his middle finger.

"Dude please as much as I want you to f*ck them please restraint from fucking anyone but your mate" Adrian jokes.

"F*ck you Adrian" Dominique said rolling his eyes.

"No thanks, only my mate can F*ck me" Adrian replied seriously crossing his both hands to form a X.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your sex life" Dominique replied.

"That's why I told you to find a mate so we can talk about the sex" Adrian said Jokingly. Dominique visibly cringed at Adrian comment.

"Get out, you giving me more headache" Dominique said glaring at him.

Adrian and Zen left him with files surrounding him.

Outside his door both sighs.

"He is irritated and really need to get a mate" Both said in unison.

They heard a loud thud in door indicating Dominique heard them from behind the door and throw something as warning. They left the area for safety purpose.

"Beta Adrian I am going to check on preparation for banquet" Zen said.

"Ok, I be in my office if you need any help" Adrian said.

"Beta Adrian, ...." A huffing voice called out to him desperately from far.

A shadow can be found running towards him and barely missed colliding with him.

"Maverick, No one after you. Will you stop running into things" Adrian said looking at maverick's huffing mess.

Maverick is one of scout allotted near border of kingdom.

"Now what happened?"

"King and Queen of Norlone are coming towards us and they are not far from here, they will arrive in few hour" He said still huffing.

"What?" Adrian shouted nearly scarring the children not far from them.

"I mean did you saw them?" Adrian whisper yelled.

"Yes, you can confirm with other scouts" He said.

"No need, you can return to patrolling but keep me informed when they reach Palace" Adrian ordered Maverick.

"Yes, Beta Adrian" Said Maverick before returning to Jungle.

"ugh... why they are so early? Banquet is in one week so I don't understand what's the point in coming so early?" Adrian said walking back and forth.

"Beta Adrian we all know; they want their one of daughter's to be mated with either you or King Dominique" Zen said seriously.

"But since you already mated, they either Aim for Dr. Miles or King Dominique"

Adrian is Beta but he still is a Royal because he is Dominique Cousin from his mother side.

"They can go after Miles as much as they want but Dominique will kill them this time" Adrian said rubbing his temples.

"Zen, Tell Strictly in Alpha's Quarter no one is allowed till they take permission from me specially women with Slutty clothes" Adrian ordered.

"Yes Sir" Zen said Existing.

Adrian returned to Dominique office and Knocked.

"Yes, come in"

Adrian entered and When Dominique saw him, he knows there some sort of trouble.

"What Now Adrian?"

"We getting your admirers from Kingdom Norlone in few hour" Adrian said Sitting.

Dominique Rolled his eyes. It's common during any Banquet Dominique Joined or rumored to be join filled with families who want their daughters to be mated with Him. Normally he can take care of these issues on his own effortlessly but this time it seems he is not much in right state to take care of people without lashing at them.

"Keep them far from my quarter, they are the most annoying one so far. I am already tired of their bullsh*t" Dominique said before resuming to do his work.

"It easier said than done" Adrian said shaking his head.

"That's what you are appointed to do, be my babysitter" Dominique smirked jokingly. Adrian hates it when he needed to keep woman far away from Dominique. His Admirer are hard to take care of.

"Who wanna babysit a f*cking giant, just get a mate already. Because of you I was not able to create more Erick for while" Adrian said glaring at him.

"Keith is just 6-month-old, I don't think Erick want another for a while because if I am not wrong, he told you he will cut your d*ck off if you impregnate him again when Keith was about to born. You almost become bald" Dominique replied glaring at him too. Adrian shivers at memory. Adrian gone out showing Dominique Middle finger because what he said was not wrong.

"We will see when your Mate come" Adrian laugh evilly to himself.

Adrian is waiting for Dominique mate to appear more than anyone because he wanted to get Hold of Dominique weakness for a while to tease him.

Few hour later....

Adrian was standing in Entrance of Warevein Palace to welcome the guests. Even if he dislikes them, he can't forget that they are still royals from neighboring kingdom. He can't produce enemies right now when Dominique is not in good condition. He was hoping Dominique will find his mate in Banquet so they can move out of this Vulnerable state which can't be seen by most.

Kingdom Norlone Carriage stops in front of Warevein Palace Entrance. Warevein Palace is separated from land. It can be crossed only by bridge which joined Land to palace and opened only from inside. One of guard came out and handed the invitation to Adrian.

"Beta Adrian...." can be Heard from behind the guard. It's King of Norlone Sir James Edger. He is a healthy man with visible love shown in his belly.

"Your Majesty! welcome to Kingdom Velaris! We are pleased to have you here" Adrian bowed and said showing his business smile.

"We came here unannounced. I am hoping we haven't cause you any trouble" King James said laughing.

"It's not a trouble your Majesty! Please come this way so you can rest with your family. I am sure it's a long tiresome journey" Adrian said moving aside from entrance to let the carriage's move inside Palace.

"They intensely came here early so they can ambush Dominique alone before other kingdom's potential candidate will came" Zen Said looking at the carriage's moving inside.

"I know, hopefully they can return in one piece" Said Adrian rubbing his temples because he can imagine upcoming event.

Dominique was sitting in one of chair in Hall relaxing...

"Royal King Dominique... I am happy to see you waiting for us even when we came unannounced" King James said moving towards him.

Dominique was ready to ignore him but he knows he can't escape because he is a King. As a king it's his duty to attend to his guest even for little while. Dominique turn towards him standing with Fake smile.

"King James, I am happy you visited us so early when Banquet is still one week far" Dominique said sarcastically which was not noticed by King James.

"Haha, I can't wait for Banquet to meet you. We haven't seen you since last Kingdom meeting 6 month ago. We have invited you for my daughter's birthday but we were told you are out of Warevein Palace that time" King James said in accusing manner trying to guilt trip Dominique.

"Yes, I was having meeting with one of kingdom which having some issues. Being King is not easy to be able to attend such parties King James" Dominique said in little harsh manner.

King James can feel sweat dripping when he heard Dominique cold tone.

"Yes Yes, I can feel what you mean, I think it's time we are taken to resting area. I am feeling little tired" King James said trying to escape.

"Daddy, we haven't talked to Royal King Dominique yet, you left us behind" Loud high-pitched voice said from behind him.

His daughter's clover and Ira with their mother slowly move towards them. They seem to missed conversation between both. King James cursed inwardly.

"Royal King Dominique, it's our pleasure to meet you again" Both said in unison.

Dominique only nodded.

"please you all enjoy your stay; I have some work to finish"

With that Dominique disappeared behind one of many doors.

"Gamma Zen will show you your resting area and please tell servant's assign to you if needs anything. We are still preparing for Banquet so it will be hard for us to be around you" Adrian said calmly.

"Yes, yes we understand your concern beta Adrian. We will be fine" Queen Marylyn said smiling.

"I will see you around then" Adrian said before going after Dominique. Since Gamma is lower Rank than Beta, Adrian know they won't stuck to Zen.

Adrian saw Dominique going towards his quarter. He let him rest. He hardly getting any sleep these days.
