CHAPTER 29: DEAL OR NO DEAL?

Oberon was seated comfortably in the room where he was supposed to meet Alpha Xander.

It seemed like disrespect to him because he had to wait for Xander who was taking forever to come and meet him.

He waited a few more minutes, before Xander sauntered into the room. Oberon was pissed off but he controlled himself.

He grinned when his eyes landed on Oberon, "You finally came," his grin turned into a smirk.

Oberon rolled his eyes, he was in no mood to play games with Xander.

"Just go straight to the point, I’m in no mood for all of these," he said roughly.

Xander arched his brow, "Be polite, remember you are seated in my palace," he wore a smile but his eyes were serious.

Oberon clenched his firsts, this was one of the silent weapons Xander used against him.

"Fine, just go straight to the point, what do you want?"

"Oh, I wanted to give you good news and also make a sort of agreement with you," he settled down on the couch opposite him.

Oberon exhaled deeply, "And that is?"

He was feeling pleased with himself, "Well, first of all, my Luna birthed a pup a few days ago," he said, pride gleaming in his eyes.

"That is good news, congratulations," he sighed.

"Are you not happy for me?"

"I am, should I jump around to show you I am happy?" He frowned.

"Hmm, you are quite the character, at least, you should smile," he rolled his eyes.

"Stop beating around the bush please, just go straight to the point," Oberon almost yelled.

"Fine, fine, I will," Xander put his hands up.

Xander smiled, "Well the pup turned out to be a female, and I want a male."

"So?"

"Evelyn can not birth a pup again, according to what the mid wife said," his eyes that were once filled with pride now drooped.

"I am sorry to hear that," Oberon said.

"There is no need to be sorry anyways," his eyes brightened up again.

"You could still help anyway," he grinned.

"How can I help?"

"I heard Nyx was never your mate."

Oberon creased his brows, he knew about Nyx?

Xander played with his fingers, "I always knew, that does not mean the information leaked out or something," he shrugged.

Oberon squinted his eyes, "Huh?"

"Well, I just know, and I also know Selena is your new mate or more correctly, she’s your mate," he smirked.

This Xander was just impossible, Oberon thought to himself.

"So, what do you want?"

"I want Nyx to be my concubine, since Evelyn can no longer birth a pup."

Oberon’s eyes widened in shock, "Excuse me?"

"Why the shock? She is not your mate, is she?"

Oberon felt pained and angry by his words, "What is the meaning of this? You called me here just to tell me all these?!" He stood up angrily.

Xander looked at him with surprise, "Why are you so angry, she is not even your mate so why are you do angry?" He arched his brow.

"She will not be your concubine! I will not allow it!"

Xander also stood up, "You should not be this grumpy, she is no longer your wife, so definitely I have a right to her, since she is not married to you," he tried to explain.

Oberon was so pissed off, "Are you even listening to yourself? Why can you not look for someone else? You have thousands of young ladies in your pack, even your maids who work for you!"

Xander gave him a disinterested look, "I do not want any of them, Nyx is the one I want," he smirked.

Oberon’s face had gone totally red with anger, "Do not even dare to say her name! It does not matter if she is not my mate but I will not watch her come close to you!"

"Are you jealous or something?"

That statement made him pause, he took a deep breath and calmed down.

Xander shook his head and laughed, "You are such a funny person, are you really jealous? Of whom? Me?" He laughed out loud.

"You should go and produce a heir with your mate, my mate can no longer birth a pup that is why I am being forced to make Nyx my concubine, and I assume she is not your concubine," a corner of his lips went up.

Oberon felt like pouncing on him but quickly remembered he was still in Xander’s palace.

"Watch your tongue Xander," he warned.

"I will, but as long as I am not saying the wrong thing, I will not," he grinned.

Oberon was so pissed off, he took a vase that was near him and threw it at Xander but he was quick enough to dodge it.

Xander was surprised, "What has gotten into you?"

"Nyx is never going to be your concubine, not as long as I breathe!" He stormed out of the room.

Xander watched him leave, still gaping at what had happened a few seconds ago.

Oberon walked through the hallways and walked out of the palace angrily, he was fuming and had forgotten he came here with a chariot.

His horseman had to rush to him before he remembered and he got in. He was boiling with rage all over and the thought of Nyx’s disappearance aggrieved him all the more.

He cursed over and over again under his breath, he couldn’t imagine that Nyx would be so grieved and would run off like that.

He had no intention of hurting her, he only wanted to secure his throne, he didn’t want to lose it, that’s why he had to do what he did.

"Wherever you are Nyx, I hope you can find a place in your heart to forgive me," he said silently and sighed.

He was with his new mate though, that made him happy because he had always wanted to be by her side but he still worried over Nyx, the thought that she might be homeless aggrieved him.

The horseman suddenly stopped and came out of the chariot. Oberon was surprised.

"Why did you stop?"

He looked frightened, "I am sorry your highness, but I had to do this," he moved backwards and some rogues surrounded the chariot.

He came out of the chariot, though he didn’t seemed to be shaken by the rogues.

"You wronged someone, and for that, you’ll be punished."
