His return

1178 Words
Alejandro's POV We drive into the kingdom border and the familiarity hit me with calmness. I let out a sigh leaning on my seat closing my eyes to relax. "You must have missed home, hmm?" questioned Sorin, he is the only friend o had managed to make over the last few years, he is a beta wolf, he was abandoned as a child, my great grandfather found him frosting away in the middle of the December, my grandfather might not be the nicest person but he took pity on the frozen child, he can be a lot of things but racism was one thing he was not fond of, so raised him with me and the both of us made the greatest bond. "Only the air around us, nothing to miss or to be missed around here," I said looking out the window, the people were gathering around the car, looking at the car with suspicion and wondering who it might be or if they don't already know, hating or glaring at the car trying to set it on fire. too much negativity, I know "Anyone special? I need to watch out for?" he raised his eyes brows seductively, I hit his arm pushing him away snorting at his antics. "Not special but you need to watch out for a lot of people, ok? just be on guard, I'm not the most likable person around here" I explain not making eye contact with him. we have had this conversation before but not too deeply. "What did you do anyway? " he asked sitting up straight when the car stopped, and we got out, maids and servants hurried to carry our things and welcoming us. "Murder," I said walking away not looking back. I realize he was not walking beside me and turned to face him, I snickered at his stunned expression, as I said, we haven't had this conversation before. I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him towards my father's office where he was expecting me. I don't know why he called me back now, but it had to be something important because he was very specific about my early arrival. I knocked on the door before entering "hello Father," I greeted the stunned man. King Stefan, was an old man now, with wrinkles decorating his tan face, his blue eyes looked sullen and dull. but when he saw me the surprise was cleared daylight. "Alejandro? my child" he walked towards me spreading his arms to envelope me in his warm embrace but I took a step back, avoiding contact, it was impulsive. it was all my training that made me more cautious than ever. His smile disappeared but he held his ground, he might be a father but he was also a king, he smiled again "I'm glad you are here, " I tried smiling not used to the action. "You sounded urgent, " I said looking around his office not much had changed. "what did you need?" I asked sitting on the couch My father looked offended by my question, he should not be I mean he hardly called me in the last ten years and suddenly he wants to play house, not gonna happen. Sorin coughs awkwardly, my father's head snaps towards his direction and he finally addresses the other person in the room. "Oh, and who might you be young man?" he asked I sit straight watching him there are not many black people in this kingdom, and if he said anything bad about Sorin, I won't tolerate it. "The name is Sorin, my King. I was with Alejandro during his stay in the mountains, we trained together," Sorin smiled bowing down as he had practiced, I scoffed the both of us are not used to many happy expression around other people, the thing that he tried to seem nice was beyond me. "Oh, I'm delighted to meet you boy, finally someone who is willing to be by his side " he jokes but it annoyed me, Sorin laughed but he was watching me. "don't make that face Alejandro, you know I'm just kidding," he smiles at me. I look at him seriously "we aren't that close, to be making jokes, father. at least not anymore, " "Sorin son, can you give us a moment?" my father asked him, and he left after bowing down. "Why are you being like this son? you know I had to do it for your protection " he explains sitting down next to me. I look away from him trying to control my overwhelming feelings then looked back at him. " I was six years old Father, six! and you sent me away to live with him, we might be related but you don't know what happened to me there over the years," I stood up pacing the room. "it was hell and you sent me there willingly. " "I understand, you think I was happy to send my only son away for all these years to a place no child should be sent? no, I hated myself for it and now I'm trying to fix it, you are a better man now, and for that, I'm glad that I send you away because you came back perfect," he gestures at me, physically I look like a dream, a Greek God with six-four height, black hair, green eyes, and muscular body. "Why am I here?" I asked cutting to the chase "why of course for your Coronation, it's time you take the throne, " he said like it was the most simple thing in the world. "after all this, you still think I will take the throne? people hate me father, they don't like me here. " I try to control the pitch of my voice but end up growling at the end of my rant. he stood there watching me " I didn't raise a quitter, Alejandro " he screamed his growl as powerful as mine. "you're right, you didn't raise a quitter Father, because you didn't raise me at all. you sent me away when I needed you the most," I was about to leave when his voice stopped me. "I'm dying my child, " his words petrified me, I stood there holding the nob of the door, breathing heavily "I don't have much time, the last thing I want to see before I die is you on the throne, taking over your birthright," he explains the room is dead silent after the words leave his mouth. "I will do it, only because I'm not the monster they think I am" and with that, I leave Sorin was waiting for me, and looking at his face he heard everything, he gave me an encouraging smile to which I scowled. I don't want to do this but like always I don't have a say in this. I hope I don't see him again, I was sure he will not let it go not after I hurt him too deeply, I just hope he has moved on but knowing him, he might be waiting for his chance to destroy me...
