The Alpha's long lost heir
Chapter 76: A desperate king

Chapter 76: A desperate king

"The pack is already at the verge of collapsing, if care is not taken your highness, someone else with a future will take over this throne!"

Oberon didn’t reply to any of them, he sat on the throne, lost in his own thoughts.

"Your highness?" Demetrius called.

Oberon raised his head to look at him, "We have a problem, it has been solved but now it is a problem again."

Demetrius frowned, "What could be more than this?"

He shook his head, "I have a heir," he dropped the bomb.

The elders present there gasped loudly. Demetrius’ jaws dropped in shock.

"You have a heir? Where is he?"

Oberon sighed, he shook his head in regret, "Nyx was the one who carried my child."

Their eyes popped out in shock, "Nyx? How come? Is she your fated mate all of a sudden now?"

He closed his eyes, "I do not know, all I know is, she is with my child, but.. she refuses to let me near him."

Demetrius was pissed off, "He is your son! You have a right to him!"

He shook his head, "Not with the way I have treated her, she is not wrong if she is angry at all."

Demetrius exchanged glances with the rest, Roshan stood up, "Your Majesty, we are at a loss here, what do you mean?"

"I am only saying I have wronged her, I do not have that right to go take the child with force, she has taken care of him for the past six years."

Their eyes popped out in shock, "He is already a kid!"

He nodded, "That is exactly my point, I never even bothered to ask how she fared, now when my throne is at stake, someone told me I always had a heir."

They were all quiet, the intensity of his words piercing them deeply. None of them bothered to look for Nyx or ask of her whereabouts, of a truth, she deserved to be mad at them.

He closed his eyes and sighed, "I honestly never expected it to get to this. My very own fated mate is almost useless, and the one person who was always loyal was Nyx, she never deserved all I did to her."

The elders looked at him in disbelief, what was he talking about?

"So, she does not want you to take the child, is that it?" Icarus asked.

He nodded, "That is it."

Demetrius held his head, short of words, "Are all these happening?" He muttered to himself.

"What do we do your majesty? Your kingdom is under threat. Anyone could take advantage of this and rise up against the throne."

Oberon was at his breaking point, he looked at the ceiling, nothing had any meaning to him anymore.

"If I could apologize and make it up to her, then everything would be fine."

"We are talking about your throne, what else are you talking about?"

"Why can you elders not see Nyx is the key? Once she can accept me back, then bringing my heir to this place would not be hard. I have to apologize to her, I did her wrong."

They were not still clear on what Oberon was telling them.

"Please explain to us in clear terms, we still do not understand what you are trying to say."

He exhaled, "It is a long story, a story I am ashamed to narrate.

The elders were confused but since he wasn’t ready to explain to them in clear terms, they let him be.

"Demetrius, all of you would have to help me, I do not know how, but somehow you just have to, please, I want my heir back, I want Nyx to come back to me."

Demetrius sighed, "Give us some minutes your majesty."

He walked back to the elders and they conversed for a few minutes. Oberon held his head already feeling tired of everything.

"I promise to make it up to you Nyx, just wait as I do so."

The elders seemed to have agreed on something, "We shall go there and plead on your behalf, and perhaps compensate her with gifts."

Oberon bit his lips, "Do what you must, as long as she comes back to me."

"Hopefully, she should heed to our pleas," Icarus sighed.

"Yes, we have to do our best, there is no way you are giving up your throne for a total stranger," Roshan said, determination flashing in his eyes.

Oberon smiled, with tears in his eyes. He stood up from the throne and walked to Demetrius, "One more thing," he said softly.

They all stood there, waiting for what he had to say.

He raised his hand towards his head, taking off his crown slowly. He held it in his hands, looking at it for a while.

He stretched the crown to Demetrius, with a sad smile.

"Your majesty, what are you doing?" They asked in horror.

"I am doing what should be done," he sniffed.

He handed the crown to Demetrius, "Give this to my son," he said.

They all drooped their jaws in shock.

"Tell him, that his father wants to be with him as soon as possible, tell him that he is the only true heir of the lycanthropy pack, and the source of all I have always wanted."

The elders looked away, feeling sad.

"Place this crown on his head. No matter what happens, he is the son of a king, my son and shall continue to be one."

Demetrius was touched, this had never happened before, a king separated from his heir.

"May you never lose your throne Alpha Oberon, your throne shall be saved."

Oberon also took off the royal beads off his neck, "Give these to Nyx, as a sign of my apology, this i should do by myself but she does not want to see me near her again. Give it to her, tell her that I am very sorry."

Demetrius took them with shaky hands, "We will do as you have said your majesty," he bowed.

The elders all did obeisance, "Long live the king and his throne!"
