I Scored Myself A Mate

"So I see you are all enjoying yourselves in my palace but no one bows before me" Allias said and crossed his legs on the throne, looking at the crowd in front of him. The people of the elf tribe immediately fell to their knees, even the ones who had not understood the situation. It was clear as day now. Who he was and what he was doing. He was reclaiming his throne and making sure everyone knew that he was not satisfied with what had been going on.

"You are too in the presence of kings; do you expect us to bow to you so easily?" The new troll leader said. He was new, a young man in his early twenties with greenish skin and dark tattoos all over his exposed arms. 

Another troll person appeared behind him, an old man probably his advisor and he grabbed his arm pulling him back. Allias smiled, he didn't seem to know who he was. For a lot of them I am just a historical figure I guess, he thought. 

The first one who bowed was the demon king and the demon queen with their people following close behind. They were not bowing to the elves. Allias knew better than that. They were bowing to him, because he was so fearfully strong and obviously angry. 

"You can mimic them young troll king. They know what they're doing" He told him and pointed at the demons. The old man actually pushed the troll's head down and forced him to kneel gaining a very loud laughter from Theseus. 

Allias turned around and looked at his side, where the shadow caster stood. 

"What are you doing? Aren't you kneeling down?" He asked him and Theseus smiled. 

"Should I?" 

"Well, I am more concerned about them bowing" He said looking at the wolf pack that Theseus had been letting live in the palace. "Adam won't you bow and greet me? You must be thrilled that I have returned, or were you serious all these times you schemed my death?" he told him and a sudden silence began drowning everyone in the room. Slowly all of the guests were facing the clean floor. All of them except the wolf pack, the people who had more than once had been responsible for his misfortune and despair. 

"My people bow to no one." Adam told him and Allias noticed the clenched tightly firsts on his sides. Good, become angrier, more humiliated. Like when you ripped my clothes. When you schemed so many times to ruin my relationship with your son. Become me, pitiful and weak. 

"They don't?" Allias asked and stood up, slowly walking to where Luke was unconscious. He was breathing heavily and wasn't moving now. Allias lifted his leg and stepped on his head two times with force. "Do they bow now?" he asked Adam but he didn't reply. He stepped on him three times then and Luke screamed. "Will you bow now?!" He shouted but Adam didn't speak, Markus was the one to interrupt.

"Please Allias, we know that you have a lot of resentment for our people but treaties have been signed and you are overstepping your boundaries right now."

"Oh but you don't understand. This is not about your stupid treaties. After all I was dead when you signed them. This is about everything you did to me. Before I was dead and now. So tell your idiotic Alpha to bow before I kill all of you in here."

"Adam bow" Daniel whispered. "He is fucking stepping on your son's head. Bow!" He said again and again and Allias watched them entertained. This was alright. This is what they deserved. He felt good about it, even if he seemed like the crazy villain. He had to remember everything in the most violent way. He relived everything stuck in an endless nightmare and now the people needed to know his pain. Adam clicked his tongue and fell to his knees, his pack following suit surprised. The most satisfying thing was that his people, those wolves would know see how helpless really was their Alpha even if he acted all high and mighty. 

He looked around him, to all of the people who now realized his return. Not even one single person standing except for Theseus and…mark in the back of the room. He was looking at him with wide eyes, like he couldn't recognize the person he was staring and Allias winked at him and gave him a reassuring smile. He would never try to scare his friend and he couldn't help but chuckle as Mark placed his palm on his chest and let out a relieved sigh. 

The King walked back to the icy throne and played with the hairs the white fur let out. He waited a few seconds before he commanded everyone to get up. There was no need for any more violence. He had already done enough. Humiliating them by showing them how beneath him they were would hurt a lot more. They would remember this day and feel their skin crawl at how embarrassed they were. Especially Adam. 

"You can get up now. Thank you for such a warm welcome. It has really softened my dead heart. So one announcement before I let you enjoy the celebration. Adam's wolf pack has to gather their belongings and leave before sun rise. You can leave the injured here until they feel better." Allias said knowing that Mark wouldn't like the idea of sending Mikael back that way. 

"Wait! You can't do this" Adam shouted. "The hunters are still out there."

"I will deal with this. I do not need you or the High Council getting in my way. You just leave my house. I won't repeat myself." 

Allias didn't stay more. He stood up from his throne and began walking towards the door. 

"Please make sure to have fun" he told them with a poisonous smile but no one could deny the divine beauty the beginning of his transformation caused. A smile that was filled with resentment but still could charm your soul in a second if you looked at him too much. "Also pick this up from my floor and someone go get that blonde bimbo from my room, she is unconscious. I do not think she is dead." He ordered and his people began running around ready to obey his orders. Theseus followed him outside and once the enormous doors closed behind them the young king let himself relax. He exhaled loudly and supported himself on the cold white wall. 

"That was impressive." Theseus commented. 

"Was I too mean? I guess I was" Allias said and rubbed the corner of his head. "I feel like I will throw up." 

"Well, your transformation is still not complete. Also you did good in there. I mean it was the best way strategically, if you returned and passed around flowers no one would take you seriously."

"I know." Allias said and began walking back towards Theseus' room. He didn't want to go back to his own, he didn't like the idea of seeing that girl again. He just wanted them out of his palace. "I didn't really want to do that to Luke though. At first I was just really…mad" 

"I enjoyed it" Theseus said with a grin and Allias scoffed as he entered his room. He took off his shirt and threw it on the bed before he plopped down exhausted.

"I am sure you did"

"Yes, but I do have a problem. Where is my teary, destined reunion?" Theseus said standing at the door frame with his arms crossed on top of his chest, his eyes scanning Allias' body hungrily. 

"You don't get one" He responded and hugged the silk pillow, hiding his naked torso

"And why is that?" The man asked while raising an eyebrow. He walked towards the bed and placed his knee on the mattress diving on it. Allias sat up and moved back, away from him with a frown. 

"Because you didn't search for me" He said with a pout.

"Who said I didn't search for you?"

"If you did I wouldn't have to live twenty years in misery. And when you found me you were going to let Luke have me." He said and turned his head to the side as to not meet his eyes. 

"I did search for you. All over the world and about Luke, you…you seemed to love him so I just wanted you to be happy." 

"I could never be happy without you" Allias told him. "Even when I was still human, from the first moment I saw you I was attracted to you. It was incredible."

"What was?" Theseus asked him and sat on the bed, looking carefully at Allias. He had missed talking to him, hearing his voice that by the second sounded more and more like the one of his lover. He had never felt happier in his entire life, sitting here with him after so long. It almost felt like a dream. A dream he was scared it would end. 

"Don't ask me" Allias said and his face turned a bright pink color. 

"Tell me"

"It was incredible how even when I didn't remember you, even if I had seen you for a moment it felt so natural to love you, almost like you had imprinted in my soul. Just by looking at you I felt safe and that scared me when I was human, I thought you would hurt me too and I tried to not feel this way about you. Telling myself that I was destined to be with someone else, trying to give him another chance but it was pointless. It was pointless from the moment I saw you sitting on that tree because your face hadn't left my mind not even for a moment since then." Allias confessed while he played with his fingers, trying to ignore his anxiousness. What if after all this time Theseus' feelings were not the same, what if he was looking for him out of obligation? Because his mother had ordered him to. 

Theseus stayed quiet for a second and then smiled. Allias felt his heart race like crazy, after all these years, after so long he still was perfect, from head to toe and still when he was around he felt like his soul could rest from all his worries. He wasn't saying anything though, the general was quiet and that scared him a bit. 

"Aren't you going to say anything?" he asked him, slightly stuttering. Theseus still didn't reply.

He grabbed Allias' wrist and in a hurry he brought him into his strong embrace, wrapping his arms tightly around him, to the point he couldn't breathe. He was trying to make sure this was all real. That Allias wouldn't disappear in just a second and he wouldn't wake up on his bed crying bitter tears. He rested his face in the crook of his neck, and remembered Allias' familiar scent. Yes, this was home. Right at that moment everything seemed to fall into place. 

"I don't know how I can love you so much after all this time" Theseus mumbled and Allias finally felt at ease. He loved him, he really did. 

"I love you too. I missed you, even if I didn't know you believe me I did and now I realize why my life had always been so incomplete. You weren't there. All I want now is for us to go home, please" He told him and he felt Theseus tense. He moved away a bit from his embrace and looked at him. He wore a saddened expression. "What's wrong?"

"Allias home…does not exist anymore" he said.
