The Alpha's long lost heir
Chapter 79: Long live the king.

Chapter 79: Long live the king.

Nyx stared at the crown in Demetrius’ hand open mouthed. She blinked severally, "What is the meaning of this?"

"He begs for your forgiveness and requests his heir places the crown on his head."

Nyx was scared, "Why.. would he do... that? An Alpha without his crown?"

"Your son is also a king, he is Oberon’s identity, so it is also the same thing."

Nyx shook her head, "This.. we do not want it.. please, this is.. not right."

"This is the only right thing at the moment, it is only right, his heir get all the honour he deserves."

She held her head, feeling weak at her knees, "Honour, he deserves?"

"Yes, allow us accord him that respect."

She whipped her head up, "No, you can take it back to him," she said firmly, "I do not want anything related to him here."

The elders were surprise by her firmness, "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean, I do not want anything concerning him here in this house, we are no longer together, I want it that way."

"Nyx please have mercy on our pack, it is in the danger of losing its throne."

"I am no longer related to that pack, that is not concerning me. I left there six years ago, and I intend to remain that way."

Demetrius shook his head, "Please Nyx, just consider the fact that we need you, we do not have anyone else to go to, if Oberon does not have his heir anytime soon, his throne might be snatched away from him."

"That is his concern, he should really learn how to treat some people well. All because I was an omega, he used me at his own will and then threw me away and you still want me to consider what?"

Gonzalo stood up, "Nyx, look at me."

She arched her brow and looked at him, "Yes?"

"Who do you have a problem with? Oberon or the pack?"

She paused, Dora exchanged glances with her, for the next few minutes, she couldn’t say anything.

She gulped nervously, lowered her gaze and replied, "Oberon."

He nodded, "So, why would you punish the pack all because Oberon offended you?"

She looked up at him, and blinked, "I.. he.." she was short of words.

He walked to her and held her hands, "The pack needs you, though Oberon is included in this, it does not mean you should put the pack at stake, consider the people and not Oberon."

She was about to reply when she heard Archi’s voice.

"Mother? What is going on? I can not sleep," he said.

They all looked his way, he was standing by the door, his eyes tired.

Demetrius’ eyes widened, he looked at Archi and then Nyx, they was almost no difference at all save for the fact that Archi had grey eyes like Oberon.

"This is him!" He gasped.

All the elders did obeisance immediately. Archi was confused, he looked at his mother who was now completely dumbfounded.

"Mother? What is going on? Who are these people?"

Demetrius stood up, and walked to Archi, the crown in his hands.

"You are the one who is supposed to save our kingdom, Alcide’s throne."

He frowned, "Who are you? What are you talking about?"

He immediately rushed to Nyx, "Where are they taking me to?"

Nyx carried him in her arms, "Do not worry about anything my dear, you are safe with me."

He buried his face in her neck, "He keeps coming mother," he said again.

Nyx was now terrified, she held him tighter.

Gonzalo said, "Do not make the mistake of losing him so early Nyx, if you love your son, you will spare him all this pain."

Her eyes watered, she really loved her son. She was torn between saving her son and going back to the man who once tortured her.

She held her son and pressed him to her bosom.

"Please Nyx, please, let us go back together," Demetrius pleaded.

She looked away, her heart was bleeding, she felt so weak at her knees. Dora noticing how quickly her mood had changed, went to support her and made her sit down.

"Consider the pack Nyx, please do not allow us go through that pain of losing the throne."

She looked at Archi who was still sweating, his life was in danger and Oberon was the only solution to her son’s ailment.

She looked at the elders, if she had to go back, she was definitely going back with a price. What was the harm in enjoying few benefits?

She pressed her lips together, "My son’s life is in danger, and the only way he can get out of it, is if he goes back to Oberon."

"Then we can take him with us, and they will be together again," Icarus said.

She arched her brow, now she would make Oberon pay for all he had done to her. Gonzalo was right, she had no problem with the pack but with Oberon.

She nodded, "He is only going there because I want to save him," she said roughly. Dora nodded in agreement.

Demetrius was disheartened, he wouldn’t blame her anyways, it wasn’t her fault.

"So be it then," he straightened his face.

She straightened herself up, "I will go back with you," she said firmly.

There was so much happiness on their faces, "Oh, Nyx, you do not know what this means to us!" Demetrius grinned.

"But, on one condition," she arched her brow.

"And what will that be?"

"I will be under no one, I will be at liberty in the palace."

"Even.. the customs?"

"Even the customs."

The elders were shocked, "That is if you want your heir back."

Demetrius shut his eyes, they were now left with no choice.

He looked at the elders, "We have no choice," he said softly.

He turned to face Nyx, "We agree, just please come with us."

She smiled, she looked at her son who had fallen asleep in her arms again. She would do anything for him.

Demetrius came to where she sat and gently placed the crown on Archi’s head.

"Long live the king," they all bowed.

Nyx put up a straight face, ’Long live the king’
