I Scored Myself A Mate

"This cake is really good." Mark mumbled as he took a huge bite from the cake. "I do like the purple and yellow in it. Matches Ares and Ea I think." He commented and Asmodeus smiled. He liked watching him basically everything that was served. Mark seemed to really like the elven cuisine.

They were at the at the throne room. Sitting in different tables dressed in deep dark red color with sparkling candles in the middle. The whole room smelt like flowers again and the lit up trees from the outside shone happily. There was also band, playing a soft melody with their violins. Mark shook his head happily to the beat, his fork following the rythm. They had been placed in the same table as the wolves while Allias and Theseus were sitting with the couple at the back, close to the throne. The middle of the room had been left empty and Mark assumed that sooner or later dancing music would play..

"I am really happy that they got married but why do we have to sit with the dogs?" Asmodeus said with a displeased expression and Mark slapped his hand.

"Shush, they are coming let's not cause any drama. You don't want to see Allias lose it. Believe me. It's not even the burning hot rays of light, or the stares, the broken furniture. It's the swears. They are too creative for anyone to handle." Mark explained. "Also, Alexander is nice, I like him" 

"Yeah, he is nice because he is a coward." Asmodeus whispered when he noticed the three wolves approaching with Kate. The girl was looking around, her eyes wide in shock but she seemed a bit less scared for now. Mark smiled.

"Hi" he greeted them and then everyone sat down. They dragged their chairs someone causing that screeching sound that made Asmodeus flinch. 

"Hey" Luke greeted them and Alexander smiled shyly. Mikael and Kate were talking about something, their voices whispers. They didn't pay any attention to anyone else. Mark took a sip from his wine and looked at Alexander.

"Tomorrow you and I, have things to do." He said and Alexander stared at him, excited.

"Really? You mean it?" 

"Yeah, yeah. I will help you. Haven't been on exorcist mood though in years" 

"Not a very good mood believe me" Asmodeus commented and winked at Mark when the red haired scoffed.

"It doesn't matter. Whatever I have to do I will do it." Alexander exclaimed. Luke was sitting next to him, holding his hand while hope shone through his stormy eyes. He seemed a lot more peaceful now, maybe he had trully found the person he was supposed to be. An idiot still but a less dangerous idiot, Mark thought. 

"Okay, okay. Don't worry. It might be painful though, I have to warn you." Mark said. Soon a waitress appeared on their table. She set down a huge tray that had a silver lid. Porcelain black plates were handed to each one of them and silverware before the tray was opened and the steam of the kitchen spread everywhere. Mark felt his mouth watering, his nostrils opened and if he was alone he would have jumped in immediately. Pieces of chicken, with melted butter and herbs. He licked his lips and waited for someone to pick up the first piece but no one did so! They wanted to talk more.

"So tell us, how will you do this whole thing. We want Alexander to learn how to control the wolf inside of him. Do you think it's really possible?" Luke asked him.

"Huh, what?" Mark said. He was preoccupied with staring at the food to process the question perfectly. He blinked as he heard Asmodeus try to contain his laughter. "Oh, yes! Well that...we will see. We will see. I mean there are a few things that need to be done and he has to work on it on his own too. I will show him how but if he makes it it's up to him" Mark said.

"I will, I will try really hard. Honestly. Thank you. I will never forget this help" he said. Mark nodded his head deciding that he wouldn't wait any longer. He grabbed the new fork he was given and pinched on of the pieces. If no one wanted to eat then it was clearly better for him. He started cutting the soft meat with his knife, readying himself for this explosikn of flavour in his mouth when a loud bang was heard. He closed his eyes and sighed, dropping his silverware.

"What the hell is it now? What?" He asked and noticed that everyone was looking towards the entrance of the throne room. Allias was standing , staring at the uninvited guests. 

"What brings you here? I thought you rejected the invitations." He told them. Mark couldn't see well. A lot of people where around him so he stood up too, on his toes hoping for a better look. 

He had seen the man many times before. Glowing, his confident smile and playful eyes. His brown locks. It was Dionysus and Apollo was standing on his side. Mark hadn't seen many of the other gods but he was sure, there two were probably the most beautiful.

"Excuse us king" Dionysus said with a smile. "We really didn't want to reject the invitation, the truth was I was ecstatic when I heard my godson would be getting married but unfortunately the Council had us take care of a small little task. Someone has been avoiding us" he said and with his olive colored eyes he scanned the room. "This someone." He told them pointing at Alexander. "You little wolf are a fugitive of the council." He said and the wolves shot up. 

"Alexander you need to run" Luke told him and the younger wolf started running the opposite direction. Suddenly a huge commotion was created. Alexander and Apollo started a chase the wolf jumping through the window to escape. Glass shuttered and before Mark knew it Mikael had grabbed the tray with the chicken and had thrown it at Apollo's back.

"My chicken!" He exclaimed and he almost felt like crying. 

"What the hell do you think you're doing ruining the wedding?" Allias screamed. Everything froze for a second. Even the gods stopped and Alexander managed to escape properly. Allias' eyes were wide staring at everyone in the room. He took a deep breath. "Everyone, sit down." He said bit at first no one seemed to listen. "Sit the fuck down!" He ordered them, making the earth shake in a very obvious threat and all of them, like a huge wave crushed into their chairs. "Now, have fun" he said with a smile. "The gods. The wolves, please come with me." He told them and teleported right in front of Luke's face. He grabbed his ear and twisted it making him groan in pain as he dragged him away. 

"Allias, Allias calm down. You're going to rip my ear off" Luke cried but the king didn't seem to listen. The throne room was occupied so they were forced to go I tot he meeting room. Allias kicked the door open and pushed the wolf inside making him land on one of the comfortable chairs around the long table. 

"I asked for one thing and one thing only. For the little ones to have a pieceful wedding. That was all and I invited you because I hoped that you would listen." He said when he noticed that Mikael's girlfriend was still standing outside. "What are you doing there? Get in. I need to close the door.", He told her frustrated and the girl rushed in. 

"Don't be mean to her" Mikael said and Allias looked at him as if he was planning his assassination.

"Shut up Mikael. I thought you were smart and funny when I met you. Don't prove me wrong." 

"We didn't mean to ruin the wedding." Apollo said. "We have sent you many notices and the council has been pressuring us. They need to have the wolf oreselse the next team they will send will be for murdering him" 

"What is going on?" Allias asked and took a sit. Everyone mimicked him, Dionysus closing the door of the spacious room. 

"The thing is dear elf king. That their littek wolf is out of control" Dionysus said.

"That is not true!" Luke exclaimed and Dionysus raised his eyebrow.

"Do you want to tell them how he exposed himself to the council all by himself when you thought it was a good idea to bring him into a meeting? The kid went mental when someone tried to insult you and killed three people. Not that I liked them or anything but really, how stupid can you be? Ever since he is wanted but they keep running around." 

"Are you serious? Are you serious?" Allias shouted in Luke's face. "He is wanted? By the Council? The Council that hates me?" 

"I thought If we brought him here and Mark trained him then we could prove to the council that he is alright." Luke told them.

"You are...you..." He didn't know what to say anymore. "He is wanted. A fugitive." He repeated with a shocked expression.
