C4 Hades Ultimatum.

Xavier's POV

We both lay there quietly trying to catch our breath after I pull out of her asshole , after a few moments Briana gets up with slightly trembling legs and gets dressed before turning to me with a contented smile on her face.

“See you around Xavier.” she said while waving at me before leaving my chambers.

You see that’s the thing with Briana and I, once were done having sex she disappears and never bothers me again till the next time either of us is horny or in need of a release which is no longer as often as it used to be when we first hooked up. No unnecessary conversations, just bam! Bam! Bam! and bye, we both know and understand the meaning of the phrase fuck buddies very clearly.

I hop off the couch and head back into the bathroom for another quick shower when a terrifying thought suddenly crosses my mind ‘what if my mate despises and rejects me if I find her because of my sexual escapades with Briana and the numerous ex-girlfriends, deciding I’m not good enough’ I ask myself and it seems the thought alone triggers my beast who snarls at me dangerously.

Shaking my head to get rid of the unhappy and fearful thoughts, I hop out of the shower and throw on some faded blue jeans with a brown T-shirt and my black Nick Air Force sneakers, then i proceed to grab two more casual outfits with one formal wear from my closet before grabbing my travel bag and arranging everything inside neatly. I hate wearing wrinkled clothes.

‘Chris, bring the car upfront and come retrieve my stuff from my room, were going on a small trip.’ I mind link my PA/driver.

‘Yes Alpha, do you have any other specific requirements for this trip sire?’ He immediately replies my link as usual, very efficient.

‘You might want to pack up some personal stuff for yourself, casual and formal. Though I'm not going there for business but it's good to always be prepared.’ I reply him with a mental shrug.

‘Alright Sire.’ His reply comes almost immediately.

‘Guys, please meet me in the study within five minutes.’ I link my two best friends cum Beta and Gamma.

‘Okay X, we’ll be right there.’ came my gamma’s Immediate reply.

‘I’m sorry X I’ll be there in ten, Kate’s been anxious the whole day.' My Beta Ashton said and that makes me pause my movements. Ashton is mated to my little sister Kate and they’re expecting a second time so his reply got me a little worried.

‘No problem Ash but what’s making her anxious? Hope it’s not serious man.’ I link him back worriedly.

‘I don’t know buddy, I’ll explain more once I get there, I just need to get her to bed.’ He replies wearily making me more worried.

‘Alright then, we’ll wait for you in the study. Take your time and do tell my sister that I said she should calm down alright?’ I reply him.

Once I cut the link with Ash Chris nocks on the room door and enters when I tell him to come inside. He enters my room to retrieve my stuff before bowing to me which I reply with a nod and he quietly leaves the room without saying a word to me.

I check my pants pocket and realize that I don’t have my wallet so I walk back into the closet and find it in one of the empty compartments that’s supposed to have my mate’s stuff yet has remained empty, looking at it makes my heart clench painfully in my chest.

I have been High Alpha for the past seven years. I took over the position at the age of seventeen when my father got seriously injured while trying to assist his dead best friend and commander of our armies who was also Alpha to a very powerful pack, the second most powerful in mid-belt region. The entire pack was massacred, save for his young daughter, his heir, after his brother betrayed him.

Despite his injuries from countless assassination attempts, he kept looking for her to fulfill his promise to her late parents, she was destined to be my mate, my bride due to an agreement between our parents under the grounds that none of us finds our mates after a certain period of time which the timeline has recently expired.

Hades surprisingly has no objections, even to this day he still doesn’t object to it when mentioned but the idea of anyone else aside her or our destined mate bearing our mark makes him cranky to say the least and im honestly grateful for his resistance because the fear of angering him has kept the council in check, for now.

My father eventually died without succeeding in finding her, leaving me with the responsibility to find to ensure her safety and happiness. A search that has remained unfruitful to this day just like the hunt for my mate. I’m almost at my wits end but my lycan still has hope yet he’s also losing it gradually.

Being constantly pestered by the old conniving bastards on the council to take a chosen Luna is beginning to make me lose my mind and Hades will probably only ever accept the lost princess to be his chosen mate aside his fated mate if we never find her.

‘Of course I won’t accept anyone except my Mate, I know mate is out there somewhere alright ?.’ He replies my thoughts coldly like I've said the most taboo thing, which i have according to his dictionary. Fucking crazy beast.
