I Scored Myself A Mate

The moment Luke heard Allias' denial he invited him to his office, he could see the elf king was on edge. His expression, his tensed muscles everything obviously showed how unwilling he was to continue this conversation. Luke could not give up though, this was one of the only ways he could think of to protect his pack. He had talked about it with Mikael and both of them believed that if this treaty came through they would continue with their plans much easier and feeling a lot safer. 

"I won't." Allias denied following him to his office. "I can't sign a treaty with you. It's impossible." he said and Luke tried to convince him. 

"Please, hear me out. I am sure this could help out the both of us. There is a reson why I am proposing this. It's not just a whim." 

"Luke, you're young so let me explain a few things to you. I just returned to my throne. Back home there is a bunch of angry royals that I had been ignoring for months that absoloutely hate werewolves and honestly I do not blame them. Being a King does not mean I can do whatever the fuck I want. Also do you really think that the Council, the Council Achlys is on which has to approve all of diplomatic relations through species will allow the two races that sit at the border of one of the biggest portals of the human realm to form an alliance? Do you really think that decision taking is that easy as the snap of a finger?" he asked him, showing him plainly how dumb he seed him now. Luke had come to him, out of the blue telling him that he wanted to sign a treaty the same way someone would say they want to order pizza.

"Allias please maybe if you listen to Luke and his reasoning you would change your mind..." Alexander said. He was trying to calm his nerves. Obviously this was not the best time to speak to the elf king and his eyes clearly showed it.

"No Alexander, no. I can't do this at the moment. My throne is unstable but still I came here to help you. I can't bring more trouble my way by forming an alliance with you. The council already doesn't like me I have to stay alive this time. You have no idea how things are back at the Veil. Luke just because I like you, Alexander and Mikael does not mean I would jeopardize my kingdom to do what you wish. Tomorrow after your announcement I will be gone and you won't be seeing us for a while. I have a mess to take care of." No one could understand him. He was trying to help everyone and every single person took him for granted. now all of them came asking favors out of nowhere not thinking how that would hurt him. He was a king too, he had things to take care of but somehow everyone was still seeing him as Alex. A kind boy who would always try to help his friends.

"Allias please. I am sure you will end up regretting this." Luke said

"Are you threatening me?" The elf king asked and the new Alpha tensed his muscles.  Suddenly there was so much tension int he air that Alexander felt like the two of them would end up fighting. He took Luke's hand in his and stared at him. 

"Luke, let's just go. It's his desicion." he said and the wolf sighed. What the two wolves didn't seem to understand was that it really wasn't his decision. there were so many things he needed to take into consideration rather than just the power of friendship. Luke would understand one day, it would certainly take time but he would be in his place and then see how hard decisions liek these were, even if you ended up being the bad guy.

"I would like you to leave tomorrow after the announcement. It will be during the night but I do not believe you will have a problem getting back home." Luke said. it was clear he was not satisfied with Allias' decision and was kicking him out. The elf jing did not mind, he was still worried about Mark after all and everything that would follow during his return home. He couldn't be bothered with werewolf matters too, that was just too much. He really hoped Luke would lead his pack well without problems but he couldn't help him at teh moment. It was simply too hard. 

The two wolves were left alone and Alexander had to deal with Luke's mood slowly being ruined. Their kiss had been put off, their talk about them also and now all they could think of was how to protect the pack. Alexander understood that, Luke's fear, and he couldn't bring up their relationship. that's why after they found Sam, he told Mikael and Luke his idea about the treaty. Everyone had agreed since they desperately needed an ally. They had never thought the chance of Allias shutting them down so brutally.

"We will find a way to secure the packs safety, don't worry." Alexander tried to comfort him as they entered his office. He sat on his chair, behind the heavy wooden desk, his chest rising up and down as he tried to control his anger. His face was hidden in between his palms. How could Allias do this to him, why? He thought they could count on each other but as it seemed he was the only one thinking like that. 

"Maybe we were too rush. We just grabbed him on the hallway and takled to him about such animportant matter. We should try again." the younger boy proposed, sitting far away from Luke, on the small couch, his hands anxiously gripping the edges. Luke raised his head and looked at him, he had a faint smile on but his eyes showed uncertainty, anxiety. Alexander could feel his pain, it was clear in those big moon like eyes and hurt every time their eyes mer, the younger wolf felt like he had failed in helping him, maybe he had done things worse. 

"It's okay. We don't need them. You shouldn't worry about these things. Just try to focus on your training. There is not that much time left. Dionysus will visit soon so it would be good if you weren't here. Allias will have to attend too, unfortunately." Luke told him. Alexander was disappointed. He didn't want to leave him so easily. He would need all the support he could get. 

"Luke I..." Alexander stuttered but the wolf stood up, stopping his words. he knew what he was planning to say. They had had the same conversation a million times, everything seemed so repetitive nowadays and he had started to get tired of it. He just wanted all these people to leave his home so he could put an order intot his chaos. 

He stood right in front of Alexander, his lips slightly upwards as he tried to smile. He cupped his face after he crouched, meeting his eyes. He kissed the tip of his nose, making him blush and look away. He just needed someone to listen to him. Just for things to go well for once, as he planned them. 

"i know you want to help, you have helped me a lot and thank you. The reason I am telling you to leave is because I want you to be safe because I need you. Alexander I really like you, I can't see you get hurt or taken away by the council so please just stay in your room. I am begging you." he told him. Alexander knew there was no reason to argue. For this once he let it go and left, leaving Luke alone with his thoughts. 

The stories of two troubled leaders, an elf and a wolf were unraveling right in front of his eyes and he was just a simple spectator. No matter how hard he tried to find a way and bring Luke peace he always seemed worried and stressed. he just hoped that everything would become better once everyone left. 

"You were gone for a while." Theseus told Allias the moment he returned to their room. Everyone was still there, even Mark and he looked at them before he let out a huge sigh and let himself land messily on the bed, the mattress bouncing once his body dived in it. "What happened?" Theseus asked seeing him roll on the bed. he grabbed a pillow and pushed his face in it before he let out a loud scream. 

"Wow." Ares mumbled as he blinked and Mark tugged on his shirt worried. he believed that Allias was like this because of him. 

"Look I am sorry, I know you are worried. I don't want to cause trouble for you but I made a promise, I swear I will be carefull..."

"It's not that" Allias mumbled through the pillow and everyone struggled to hear him. "Luke just asked me to sign a treaty with them." he revealed and Theseus began laughing frantically. 

"That fool never ceases to surprise me. Oh, God I am going to cry" he said and wiped a stray tear caused from laughing. It was so obvious Luke had no idea what was actually happening in the supernatural world. It made him wonder how much his father had trully pampered him, shielding him from the horros of their world.

"I said no, very cruelly. Do you believe it that they stopped me in the hallway and simply said hey, let's sign a treaty like they were asking me out for coffee." he said and turned around revealing his concerned expression. "You people seriously don't understand the shit that is happening. I have a best friend who fancies one of our worst enemies, wolves now are asking me to be their friend and defy one the council that deperately want me dead aaaand I have a bunch of old men back home that don't want me on my throne. Anything else? Is there something you would like to tell me people?" he shouted and Theseus swallowed a lump that was forming on his throat. He couldn't bring himself to tell him about the girl now, he would simply go crazy. After they returned home he would do it. For sure. 

"How about you leave us alone for a while guys? We will have to go to the meeting soon anyways." Theseus told them wanting to be alone with Allias, he knew he could calm his nerves. 

"Okay I guess. but if you need anything tell us" Ares said and stood up, taking the two others with him. Allias was left alone with Theseus for the first time after a while. The man smiled at him, calling him to rest in his embrace and honestly he couldn't deny the pleasure. 

"Come here." The general said in a low voice and the elf king shivered.
