Chapter 26: Worried..

Oberon paced forth and back in his study room, he was worried and couldn’t stop thinking.

Mark entered the study room and bowed, Oberon faced him.

"Any news? Have you found her?" He blinked his eyes.

He shook his head, "No your Majesty, we did not find her, we have looked everywhere we could but not a single trace of her," he replied firmly.

He sighed, "Why did she run away? She is so stubborn," he held his head, frustration setting in.

Selene entered the room and looked at the two men who talked about Nyx. She squinted her eyes in suspicion.

They talked some more for a while and Mark bowed and left. He almost bumped into Selene, "I am so sorry my lady, I did not see your there." He apologized.

She eyed him angrily, "It is as if your eyes can no longer work properly," she hissed.

He exhaled, "My apologie, my lady. It was an honest mistake."

She was about to reply him when Oberon stopped her, "Stop it Selene, just leave him alone."

She eyed him one last time and then walked towards Oberon. Mark shook his eyes head.

"Lady Nyx was never this rude," he muttered and left the room.

Selene hugged him as soon as she reached him, "Oberon darling, what is wrong? Are you not supposed to be in bed with me?" She pouted.

He arched his brow, "I am so sorry Selene, I am just very worried."

She frowned, "Why are you worried?" She squinted her eyes, "Are you working yourself up because of that thing?"

Oberon exhaled, "She is also a werewolf, no need to call her a thing," he said calmly.

She pulled away from him, "Why are you acting strange all of a sudden? Do you love her?"

He shook his head, "No, no, do not get me wrong now, I am only worried, she just ran away like that, goodness knows what state she is in," he shook his head.

Selene felt jealousy creep in, "You are thinking of someone else when you are supposed to be with me," she turned around and headed to the door.

"Stop this Selene, you are getting me wrong now."

"What else am I supposed to think? You are worried about someone else meanwhile I could comfort you and give you what you want," she said with puppy eyes.

He walked to her and wrapped his arms around her, "I am sorry, so sorry, can you forgive me?"

She raised her nose in pretended annoyance, "No, I am so angry with you."

"Please Selene, you should not be angry now, I agree I made a mistake, but you should not get angry over something that is not worth getting worked up for."

She bit her lips, and pushed him away, "I am starting to suspect you have a thing for her, despite knowing that I do not want you to talk about her, you still go ahead and say those."

He cocked his head to one side in amusement, "You are one of a kind, are you jealous or something?"

She squinted her eyes, "Should I not feel jealous? You are my mate of course I am bound to be jealous," she fired at him.

He sighed, "Okay, okay, do not get so worked up now. I will stop thinking about her if that is what you want .

She smiled, "That is much more better," she hugged him again and kissed him.

He responded with so much eagerness, she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him the more.

His hands moved over to her waist, he gently squeezed her buttocks and she moaned.

Thoughts of Nyx being stranded flashed in his head and he broke the kiss.

"What happened?"

He held his head, "Uh.. it is nothing special, you should go have some rest, or probably walk around the palace, perhaps feed your eyes?" He suggested.

She raised her brows, "If you say so," she headed to the door.

He banged his hand on the table, "I should not be this worried, it does not matter anymore, does it?"

He pushed his hand through his hair, and a sigh escaped his lips.

"You should be concentrating on other things, I only married her so I could get the throne, she is no more of use."

"Selene is right, I should not worry about her, I should just let her be, she chose to run away, that is her business and none of mine."

He closed his eyes and exhaled but the thoughts of her probably stranded somewhere could not leave his mind.

He looked out of his window, "This can not get any worse, can it?"

No matter how hard he tried, the thoughts of Nyx stuck stubbornly to his mind, he tried until he gave up.

"Whatever happens, please be fine Nyx," he said silently.

Someone knocked on the door, "Come in."

Mark entered the room, he held something.

Oberon turned to face him, "What is the matter?"

"Someone said to have spotted Nyx, somewhere around the Northern hills, we do not know if this is a true claim."

Oberon kept calm to process all that he had just said, after some moments he spoke up.

"Then go after her, bring her back here."

Mark gulped, "Your Majesty..."

"What is it?"

"I do not know if she would agree to come back with us, she literally ran away from here."

He exhaled deeply, he didn’t want to force her either.

"Could you not persuade her somehow?"

Mark shook his head, "I do not know of any other way to do so."

"Unless you came with us... She might listen to you."

He twisted his lips, "Are you sure about that? She might hate me a lot now."

"You are still the Alpha king, she has to listen to you."

He kept quiet for a while.

"Where did the person see her?"

"Around the Northern hills," he replied.

He nodded, "To the Northern hills we shall go."
