Chapter 62: Cat fight

Demir returned to the scorpion castle in a bright mood. He noticed his father near his room and walked to him "Father?"

The scorpion king looked up to him in a worried face "Where were you gone Demir? the guards said that your poison was acting up again, I was worried and came here to look for you"

Seeing his father’s anxious face he felt happy for the first time, he always blamed his father for his mother’s indifference towards him. But now he realized how fortunate he was to have someone who always worried about him, what his sunshine said was true, he just had to look around him properly to find someone who cared for him, he smiled faintly "I’m fine now father, sorry for worrying you"

The scorpion king flinched at his place, ’Did Demir smile at me?’ he awkwardly smiled back "I’m glad that you are fine son"

Demir nodded his head and tried to walk inside his room, but his father’s voice stopped him "Wait son, I have something important to discuss with you"

He turned to his father "What is it?"

The King fidgeted in his place but soon opened his mouth "The fox king arranged a meeting between you and his daughter, I heard that she is pretty, will you meet her?"

Demir narrowed his eyes "I’m not interested in something so lame"

His father sighed tiredly "You have to start getting interested. Just how many days are you planning to stay alone like this?"

"Don’t worry, I already found someone who I want to spend my life with" he replied catching his father off guard

"What?" his father asked with wide eyes

Demir grinned at him "I met a female today, she helped me when I was suffering from my poison, I wish to spend my entire life with her"

"Stop joking," his father said eying him suspiciously

Demir chuckled "You can think however you want but make sure to keep that fox king away from our tribe, he is bad news"

His father nodded his head, "I’ll keep that in my mind" then he asked "By the way, who is that female you fancy? Is she pretty?"

Demir smiled gently "She is very pretty, golden hair with ocean blue eyes, she is beautiful"

The scorpion king’s expression became stiff "Then I bet she already has mates?"

Demir’s eyes turned cold "I’ll kill them"

"Don’t you dare!" his father warned him

Demir frowned at his father’s words, his father was never this rash with him, "Then do you expect me to let go of my sunshine?"

The King cringed because of his son’s endearment for his female and opened his mouth "It’s not like that Demir, I just don’t want you to end up like me, what if your female behaves like your mother after you kill her mates?"

"Don’t compare her to that woman" Demir snapped

"I’m not comparing anyone!" his father’s loud voice resounded inside the castle, the king glared at Demir and spoke "We are inside the beast city because we agreed to thier rules and custom. And I don’t want your mistake to put our whole tribe in jeopardy. Some of our tribesmen succeeded in finding mates because they tolerated their females’ other males, they are suppressing their possessiveness respecting my words and as a prince of our tribe, you want to destroy this peace?"

The King took a step forward "Don’t do something impulsive and then regret it" he turned around to walk away but halted his steps and looked at his son "Think for a minute if you are capable of handling the hate of the female you like. she may treat you nicely for time being but after learning the truth she will detest you, think properly son" he added and stormed out of the place.

Demir stood rooted in his spot after hearing his father’s words. He questioned himself ’Will I be able to handle her hating me?’ ’Will I be brave enough to stand her sad face?’ ’Would she cry after her mates’ death? What if she never smiles so brightly after that?’ No! he never wanted something like that, he wants to continue watching her happy face all his life, he wants to protect her precious personality, the one which made him fall for her at first sight.

He closed his eyes and soon opened it with a resolute look, if it meant staying with her, he would try not to mind her other mates. He chuckled because of his pitiful situation, he never imagined himself to be the one to become so vulnerable because of a female, life was indeed unpredictable.

FOX CASTLE

The fox king banged the stone table with anger "He dares reject my daughter!?"

He continued throwing the things inside the room and seethed with anger "That savage bastard! who does he think he is to refuse meeting my daughter?"

The fox kings’ daughter Lexi who had beautiful waist length orangish red-colored hair with sharp red fox eyes observed her father’s tantrum calmly, after some time she arched her full lips into an attractive smirk "It’s fine father, he is acting like that because he hasn’t met me yet, you already know that no one can resist my charm once they see me"

Jacob slumped on his chair and held his forehead "You don’t understand my predicament Lexi, my strongest ally the scorpion tribe are avoiding me, their king is refusing to meet me, I somehow managed to gain his support by mentioning you mating with his son, but that arrogant prince refused to even meet you" then be looked into his daughter’s eyes "I can’t lose them, I must at least get one immortal beastman’s support"

Lexi fiddled with her hair in thought, then opened her mouth "I want to meet him, arrange a bonfire for me" her eyes glittered mischievously "It will be fun taming an immortal beastman, I will make him lick my feet once I make him mine"

Jacob smiled slyly "You are the best my daughter"

She grinned in return then asked curiously "Where is Michael? He is finally a king, I want to congratulate him"

Jacob chuckled "It’s not a big deal, he just received his seat from his former lord"

She frowned in confusion "Received?"

Jacob nodded his head "The previous stray beast king forfeited his seat and the amazing fact is he reclaimed his seat once again but as a vulture king, that crazy fellow"

"How can he do that? Isn’t he a stray beast to claim a normal seat?" Lexi questioned

Jacob shook his head "He is a normal beastman who forcefully took hold of stray beasts king seat. He is the most arrogant and stubborn beastman I have ever encountered, unfortunately, he is also an immortal beastman"

"Then I would like to meet him, too" she casually added

Jacob widened his eyes "Never! Lexi never try to get close to him, he is a lunatic" he warned her then he added "Now that he has a female it is unlikely for him to like you"

"He got himself a female?" she inquired

He nodded his head "She is also the mate of snake king and silver wolf tribe’s prince"

She raised her elegant brows "Lucas? Weren’t you trying to make him Elena’s male?"

Jacob rolled his eyes "Elena that useless girl, she was unable to convince Lucas"

Lexi snickered "He is insane to reject the most beautiful female in the whole wolf tribe to go behind some ugly wench"

Jacob blinked his eyes "You are mistaken"

"What?"

"Lucas’s female is the most gorgeous female I have ever seen, not even mermaids can compare to her, do you think she could manage to get hold of two immortal beastmen and two princes just like that? Where is your brain Lexi" Jacob asked sarcastically

Lexi frowned "That is not possible, how can she be prettier than me and Elena? Which tribe does she belong to?"

Jacob shook his head "That I don’t know, I heard that she was found and saved by Lucas in the forest"

She smirked "So she is an unwanted female who was relinquished by her tribe"

"I don’t think so" he commented, for that female to be sent out of her tribe? that is nonsense. He then stared at her "You can decide on your own after meeting her in the bonfire"

She smiled "I will meet her, I’m also going to invite Elena, I want her to teach that wench a lesson"

"What are you planning?" Jacob asked doubtfully

She side-eyed him "You don’t need to know everything I’m about to perform, it’s not like you reveal all your secrets to me father"

Jacob squinted his eyes and maintained his silence, he didn’t want to reveal his goal to anyone. Lexi gritted her teeth in annoyance and left the room.

After walking out of the castle she reached the black wolf tribe’s castle with one of her mates. Inside the castle, an attractive ebony-colored haired female was laying on the bed, the female opened her eyes sparkling black orbs hearing some noise, and smiled "Lexi"

Lexi put a worried face and went towards the bed "How are you?"

Elena frowned in confusion, Lexi said with a sad face "I heard that Lucas refused to become your mate, I know that you truly loved him"

Elena gritted her teeth and smiled awkwardly "It is nothing, he is just sad about something, he will definitely become my mate someday"

Lexi gasped "Oh poor thing, you didn’t know that Lucas already mated with someone else?’

Elena’s face crumbled "What are you talking about?"

"You should get a grip, he is the one at loss for refusing you" then she smirked inwardly "But I don’t understand why he would reject you for some ugly female?"

Elena clenched her fists, her nails digging inside her palm "Who is that vixen who stole my Lucas from me?"

Lexi patted her shoulder "My father is holding a bonfire soon, we will be able to meet her there"

"I’ll kill her!" Elena said with bloodshot eyes

Lexi smirked, well her job here was done.
