CHAPTER 47: _MAKE THE ALPHA PRINCE CHOKE ON HIS PRIDE

Elian’s POV

*****

"You want me to get Lucian to suck my cock?!"

He blinked at the system’s special mission like it was a foreign language. This has to be a joke... Right?

[Aww, look at you. Already sweating like an animal up for slaughter.]

Elian’s jaw clenched with anger. He snarled. "You’re insane! You didn’t even tell me I should suck his dick. You want the Alpha Prince to—"

[First off, can you stop being so vulgar? Second, this System is incapable of insanity in the mortal sense. Thirdly... You would’ve preferred it if I told you to go down on Lucian instead?]

Elian’s face heated up with a violent blush when he heard that last part.

"That’s not the case at all! It’s just... Lucian is—"

[Already losing his mind thinking about you? Pleasing himself at the thought of you? Could be at your beck and call if you play your cards right?]

Elian bit his bottom lip as the blue translucent screen disappeared from his view but the system’s voice remained.

[Lucian might be in denial but he’s getting obsessed. His seduction meter is proof of that. And if you push it beyond what it is now? This mission will be a piece of cake.]

Elian parted his lips, folding his arms across his chest. His mind reeled as he thought about it.

Lucian was proud, arrogant and seemed like the kind of person who took whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.

How could such a dominant man have oral sex with him and then be the one at the receiving end? Or... Was it the giving end?

"Goddess..." Elian rubbed his right hand down his sweaty face.

[For someone who lost belief in the moon goddess, you sure invoke her a lot.]

Elian smiled sarcastically but before he could respond, a soft ding sounded in his head.

[Time for special mission: Two hours. Reward for mission: 50 Ascension points.]

Elian twitched when he saw the blue translucent screen flicker in front of his face again.

"Only fifty Ascension points for such a—"

[Your time starts now. Good luck.]

Fuck!

Elian rolled his eyes, rushing to the bathroom to wash his face. When he did that, letting the cold water from the sink soak his face, he stared at his reflection on the mirror above the sink.

Weeks ago the face of a palace servant and worthless Omega would be the one staring back at him. But now? Within the span of barely a single day?

He was the mate of some of the most powerful men in Evaros, with a system to match.

"I can do this..." He whispered to himself, tightening his grip on the sink one last time, smiling at himself.

.

When Elian walked out of his room, he wore a black sleeveless blazer that shimmered under the lights of the chandeliers above, his white blonde hair permed to near perfection.

He walked briskly, ignoring the usual annoying stares and whispers from maids in the large hallway and reviewing things with the system.

[So, earlier the Alpha King dragged Lucian and Beta Axel to the throne room after their squabble. That’ll be your first destination to find Lucian.]

Elian nodded, increasing his footsteps and finally getting to the Ascension platform which would lead him downstairs. It seemed someone was using it to come up here.

Taking the stairs in this palace, especially from this height, would be suicide.

The metal doors of the platform slid open, but just when Elian was about to step into it, his body froze, his breath catching in his throat when he saw who stepped out of it.

"Elian." Beta Axel spoke with a warm smile, his golden eyes glinting. His gaze trailed on Elian before he muttered. "How are you? I was just coming to your room to check on you."

’Fuck me sideways!’ Elian cursed mentally but managed to plaster a smile on his face in front of the Beta.

"Beta Axe..." He paused, swallowing and correcting himself. "I mean, Axel. S–Sorry, I was actually on my way to the throne room. I got so worried that I put you and... Lucian in trouble..."

[Why are you stuttering?]

’Have you seen the man?!’ Elian answered, still keeping the smile on his face.

Axel was still wearing his sleek golden and blue armour from earlier. Even though it was armour, it still managed to accentuate his muscles in the best way possible, causing Elian to gulp.

And those warm golden eyes that always seemed to brighten anytime he saw him? Gods, they’ll be the death of him.

"Put us in trouble?" Axel repeated, chuckling heartily. He glanced behind Elian and gave a polite nod to some maids who walked past and greeted him.

Elian glanced back at the maids, catching them giggling and blushing as they whispered to themselves.

Pick mes...

[Look who’s talking...]

"You didn’t put us in trouble, Elian. We’re the ones who fought after all." Axel sighed, forcing Elian to bring his gaze back to him. The Beta had a wry smile on his face as he continued. "Not to mention I’m the one who threw the first punch."

Elian stared at Axel, seeing the genuine guilt in his eyes. Then, he stretched his right hand forward and brushed it down his shoulder.

Axel blinked, raising his head and staring at Elian who blurted:

"It’s not your fault either though. I mean... Lucian can be a serious pain in the ass."

That caused both of them to chuckle, Axel shaking his head. Seeing that his shoulders had relaxed, Elian decided to push further, seeing the system’s timer counting.

1:44:56...

"Honestly, I don’t know how you can handle him as a mate." Axel sniggered.

Elian smiled awkwardly before asking. "Speaking of which... Where’s Lucian? Is he still in the throne room or—"

"Last I saw him, he was heading to the training hall just upstairs. The top floor." Axel chimed with a knowing smile. "You want to go see him?"

Elian’s mouth fell, his breath hitching.

How does he tell one mate that he was going to get the other to suck him off?

[You don’t, Dumbo. They’re still all your mates and have to deal with that reality.]

Elian ignored the system, nodding at Axel. "Y–Yeah, I want to see him. I—"

"Hey, hey... There’s no need to explain." Axel interrupted yet again, stepping closer and placing both his hands on Elian’s shoulder, making sure he maintained eye contact. "I understand. You have two mates and the mate bond is... Strong."

Elian swallowed, trying his best not to correct him and say "three". He couldn’t just tell people he was also mated to the rogue king.

His being mated to Lucian and the Beta already put a large target on his back. He’d rather not worsen it.

"Whatever you do with Lucian..." Axel’s voice became a soft whisper, leaning in until his lips brushed Elian’s ear lobe. "I’ll always be your first. The first to see you at your most vulnerable. Bare. To be inside you."

Elian’s eyes widened, a shiver crawling down his back. His knees wobbled and he could feel blood rushing down his little soldier already.

[Focus, fruitcake!]

Elian blinked, drawing in a deep breath and trying not to get distracted by Axel’s cologne.

He smiled.

"Thanks for being understanding, Axel."

The Beta withdrew his hands, taking a step forward. He parted strands of Elian’s hair before nodding.

"Go."

Elian nodded, walking past Axel and stepping into the Ascension platform. He clicked on the buttons, setting it to take him to the last floor... The one just after this one.

He and Axel exchanged one final glance before the doors closed, the Ascension platform lighting up with blue symbols.

The platform hummed as it rose, the glowing blue runes casting shifting light over the walls.

Elian leaned back against the cool metal, exhaling slowly.

Alright... Alpha Prince Lucian. A walking pile of arrogance and testosterone.

’I just need him riled up enough to lose control... but not enough to start another fight.’

His gaze drifted to his own reflection in the metal panelling — flushed cheeks, sharp collarbone peeking from his blazer, hair that caught the light like spun silver. He could work with this.

"Training hall," he murmured under his breath, a slow smile curling his lips. "Yeah... I can use that."

The system chuckled in his head, smug as ever.

[That’s the spirit, fruitcake. Now go make the Alpha Prince choke on his pride... and maybe on something else.]

Elian grinned to himself just as the platform slowed, his pulse quickening.
