‘ son, who is that with you .' A man who was larger than Keats said as soon as he finished hugging him. I could tell that this was Keats father although he looked young enough to be an elder brother but I knew that he does not have an older brother so the man has to be the king of all shifters.
‘ dad, meet my mate, Moira, Mo meet my dad and second best friend, king Killian of UCS. ’ Keats said as he moved from his father embrace to Mo side to bury his nose in her hair as he fills his lungs with her scent.
‘ nice to meet you sir. ' Mo greeted as she bows to king Killian.
‘ none of that, my dear, we are already family, no bowing and certainly no calling me of sire and that makes me feel like a Knight and I never did pass that exam. Call me dad or Killian, whichever one is better for you. ’ Killian said to Mo who looked at him weirdly. He had the same characteristics with Keats who tend to ramble about thongs when nervous.
‘ what is wrong ?’ Keats asks his father with his eyes narrowed at his father who looked every where but his son face. ‘ what did you do ?'
‘ I may have mistakenly gave your mother the idea to get you a socialite who will accompany you everywhere and also warm your bed. ' Killian rushed out as Mo released a low growl in her chest as Killian eyes widens. ‘ all I said was that, I wish there was some way we would reduce your tension and a person who you can confided in. ’ Killian explains quickly as Keats shot him a death glare.
‘ where is that woman ?’ Keats said with a Savage expression on his face.
‘ now Keats... ' his father started in a placating tone only for Keats to roar put one word. ‘ WHERE ?’
‘ not in front of your mate, ' Killian said in a silent time as Keats nodded and dragged Mo off who was already planning the deaths of two women who she do not even know. Her queen who happens to be her mate mother and her rival who was unfortunate enough to he found suitable for her mate by his mother.

‘ please let me kill her. ' Mo said as she press her body to Keats own when she realise that Keats wants to drop her in his room then deal with the situation on his own.
‘ now I can say that I have experience the weirdest thing ever, my mate seducing me to allow me to kill my mother. ' Keats said as he extracts himself from Mo before he loses all reason and give in to his baser instincts to mate with her there.
‘ why won't you let me. ' Mo pouts as Keats groans, he knew she was using every weapon under her arsenal to make him give on to her.
‘ because you will hate yourself if you do it. Now I need to go and take care of that mess while you need to unpack. ’ Keats said as he rushed out of the room before he let's her have her way and he was already past his limits and was holding on by sheer force of will.

‘ mom, are you insane ?’ Keats thundered as he entered the room that has his mother scent the strongest.
‘ son, you are home already. ’ his mother said.
‘ why on earth will you prepare a consort for me when I do not need one. I told countless number of times that I do not need one. That I will wait for my mate. ’ Keats rubbed his forehead as he could feel the special head ache he always got when he was in disagreement with his mother appears.
‘ well your mate is not making it easy as you have been waiting for two years now. ’ his mother mumbled.
‘ did you forget that she has also been waiting for two years, think of how will I feel if I see that she already has a boyfriend or a sleeping partner or a fiancée, imagine how I will feel. ’ Keats said talking to his mother softly.
‘ very angry but no need to tell her, what you do not know can not hurt you. ’
‘ you want me to begin my relationship with my mate with lies. ’
‘ not lies just...withholding the whole truth. ’ his mother corrected as his face hardens. He was trying to reason with his mother but he just realised that with this woman there is no reasoning.
‘ too bad, she is around and she already know ’ Keats said with a cold tone as his mother twirls round to stare at him.
‘ how ?’ she asks with caution.
‘ how, I have seen her, we came home and we saw dad who told us of your plans, she saw red and wanted your blood but I barely convince her to let me talk to you first. Thinking on it I should have let her do what she wants with you. ’
‘ son, I do not think that you should be with her. ’ the queen said silently as Keats became deadly calm.
‘ what. ’
‘ if you mate with her you will bring down the worst war known in all our time that will wipe out all the mages but will take wt all of our numbers too. ’ his mother said. ‘ so let's just find you a mate. ’
‘ when you wanted to mate with my dad , was your prophesy not that your linage with create doomsday. ’ Keats asks. ‘ yet you still went ahead. You want me to change my mind but you did not change yours ?’
‘ I was in love with your father. ’ his mother cried out trying to reason with her son.
‘ so am I with my mate. ’ Keats roared annoyed.
‘ you won't have my blessings. ’ his mother said crossing her hands across her chest defiantly.
‘ at the rate you are going, I am not sure that I will even want it even if it was offered on a golden platter. ’
‘ crown prince Keats ?’ a soft voice said behind him. He turned and when be saw her, his breathe quickens, Mo will so feel threatened. He thought.
‘ yes. ’ he answered in a hard tone.
‘ I am your Royal consort. ’ she said with a smile.
‘ no your are not. If anything you are my mother own. I have only one and she is my mate. ’ with that Keats turned an his heel and strode away angrily.

What is taking him so long. Mo wondered, she had finished unpacking... Well she just picked up her entire suitcase and turned it upside down in her part of the wardrobe that she is sharing with her mate... Now she is pacing and praying that woman who was the suitable choice had touch her mate so she could get the scent and then kill her cause she was already on edge. Who wouldn't be when your wolf keep chanting the word ‘ kill, kill, kill .’ in your head.
The door opened as Keats steps into the room and banged the door closed. Before she could get out one word he was already holding her and burying his face in her neck as he took in big gulps of air which contained her scent.
‘ what's wrong ?’ Mo asks when she noticed how fast he was breathing and shaking.
‘ I have half a mind to let you kill my mother. ’ Keats replied.
‘ that serious. ’ Mo exclaims and Keats nodded. ‘ what did she do ?’
‘ she refused to remove carlissa from the palace even knowing that my mate is here. ’ Keats said as Mo use her finger to trace a pattern on Keats neck which greatly calmed him down.
‘ well, try to get her out, I will see her as a threat and I will treat her as such. ’ Mo said with a growl getting all territorial over her mate and his home.
‘ please do, she will have to leave I do not want her here at all. ’ Keats said and Mo smiled at him and then he pulled her hands. ‘ come let me show you around. ’
