Chapter 257: The Lights Would Be Out Soon?

[TAMIKO]

"The longer you stay away from him, the longer he will feel unwanted and start questioning himself or even what he believed was there for you both. Omegas who don’t have one to rely on, either die from extreme heartbreak;

"... or they seek comfort elsewhere. In your Erasthai’s case, he knows he is duty-bound to Kawai, so he won’t let himself die of a broken heart... Do you want to see him in another man or woman’s arms?

"There are many people willing to trade an omega for whatever they want. Is that what you want for the man you love?" Lord Sadako asked.

Tamiko let out a growl.

He didn’t like what his uncle was suggesting and it was pissing him off. It was already bad enough that he couldn’t get enough sleep. If he had to add onto the fact that Kosta probably would want someone else because of him he would die in that moment.

This wasn’t what Tamiko had signed up for.

He had never wanted a mate and yet when the moon had given him Kosta, he had been delighted.

He loved how Kosta was with him and how the man made him feel, so the thought of Kosta giving that attention to someone else was a thought that Tamiko refused to entertain.

He would go to war if anyone tried to take his Kosta from him. He would burn realms down and he would make sure no one who tried to desire his Kosta was left alive. That was just something that Tamiko would never give in.

His Erasthai was his and he was never going to share regardless of what the fates had in mind for them. If he had to tie up Kosta just to make that not happen, then he would do it without so much as a second thought.

"I hurt him, uncle. I broke his heart when I didn’t welcome him home. I fucked up already. No amount of... no amount of trying can make up for the things that I did to him in the past month. It wasn’t fair, and I... I love him.

"I love him so much; I can’t breathe when he’s not close. But at the same time, I am scared of what this might do to him. I’m scared I might not be the Erasthai he always wanted. The crown comes with so many problems, uncle.

"A target is already on his back, and I want to get it off. I just can’t think of the right way to go about it," Tamiko grumbled as he held his coffee cup tightly, almost breaking it in the process.

He was not ready to live a life that didn’t have Kosta, and he would be damned if he ever let that man slip away for him. He is inking on overdrive right now and he even managed to miss the smirk on his uncle’s face.

It was like Sadako was intentionally risking his sanity to see where this would all lead. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad right? But then what use was it if Tamiko didn’t take a stance and decide to be there for his Erasthai?

"You have all the options right before you, son. Your father is the most powerful king in the realm. Your mother was the most powerful queen of hearts. You’re the product of magic, evil, and love.

"You have all the answers there. All you must do is embrace who you truly are and everything will be okay," Lord Sadako said and Tamiko could have sworn he misunderstood his kindle.

Surely the man wasn’t suggesting what Tamiko was thinking he was, right? There had to be a different meaning to this, but then again there was no point in that. The Lycan lord always meant whatever he said.

He always believed in Tamiko and that was obviously never going to change.

"You’re suggesting the crowning ceremony?" Tamiko asked.

Lord Sadako just shrugged like that wasn’t the craziest of things to suggest at this point. Maybe Tamiko was overthinking it, but there was no denying that at the end of the day, they had to try and figure out the best way to protect themselves.

It was clear they could protect each other physically, but emotional safety was also a need for them, especially the omega in their midst.

It was in Tamiko’s hands, and if Tamiko didn’t work this shit through properly, he would lose more than he anticipated and that was not just going to be easy for him.

He had to figure out a way faster before he lost what he thought he had been having his entire life. It wasn’t supposed to be that hard, or was it?

"There’s no point in pushing it further, Kaito. It will happen, today, tomorrow, or in the future. You will have to take over the crown from my brother, there are just some things Zaffuto can’t do as the sitting king, however crazy he is.

"Granted he is a patient man, but the bottom line is you will eventually take that seat. So how about taking it to protect the one you love the most?" Lord Sadako asked and Tamiko sighed.

He knew that this conversation would come at some point but he had good that there was still some chance. That he didn’t have to jump right into it.

Of course, Tamiko was aware that his father would never force anything on him, but at some point, he would have to be a responsible son and commit to his duties and responsibilities as the next Lycan King.

It wasn’t that hard to comprehend and he should have long known that too. Perhaps it wasn’t as difficult.

"What if I’m not the right fit for the throne, uncle? What if I am nothing like Papa and I fail? What if?" Tamiko asked even though a part of him was sure he would ace the kingship.

He was a ruler by heart and he could take over for his father at any point.

Tamiko was ruthless, the kind that burned and put people in line without even having to say a sword. He was cruelty personified just like his father and even worse, he was the best person to take over.

However, there was the question of his Erasthai comfort. It was a subject that made the young prince think too much. He couldn’t imagine what life would be like if Kosta was distant.

It was unhinged in so many ways and hells be damned if this didn’t make him wonder what tomorrow was supposed to live for the both of them. Surely patience had to mean something on this side of Kawai, no?

"Now I know you are not telling me that you will fail with all the support you have from your closest circle and the people of Kawai, son. You can’t wiggle your way out of this one, kid," Lord Sadako said, as if Tamiko and forgotten what it meant to be a Hinata.

Had the kid forgotten though?

He knew that and much more but was he ready for that? Was he confident about the success of the most critical aspect of his life or was this just going to be something he tried and failed heedlessly?

Was he going to be stuck in a loop for his entire life? Was that what this was about?

"I know... I was just hoping that there would be more time for me to be with Kosta freely," Tamiko sighed. He knew that the states were getting higher with every day they were at a warrior stage and he had hoped that Kosta would be happier.

There was no happiness in war, and Tamiko knew it. He had been at war with Grealor his entire life and the only few moments when he had been happier had been with the Belovas, who turned out to be traitors too.

It was something that he was not ready to lean into, but perhaps for Kosta, he would try, no? Perhaps for the Lycan Chief who had not looked at him twice before bringing him home, he would be the one that Kosta needed.

He would be what their people needed, no matter how crazy it would get for them. They had to have gotten used to it all at this point, yeah?

"You will be free with him. If anything, you will be in the best place possible. Chief Konstantin knows how the kingship works. He knows what is expected and he has been trained for that.

"I am training Daniel too. You will have all the time in the world to be free, but not soon, kid. You know it too," Sadako reminded gently. He could tell that this was the toughest conversation for the kind and he was just trying to ease him into it.

There were so many things that they had to consider and what they had to embrace along the way.

Most of it would be needed for Tamiko and there was no denying that at the end of all this, there would be questions so young that even they had to consider taking a skip from it all.

Maybe that was what life was for them., but at least they would be together – immortality and all, right?

"What does that mean?" Tamiko asked like he didn’t already know what. Perhaps he was hoping for a different outcome.

Perhaps he was desperate to cling to the hope of what life would be for them. Maybe that’s why he is here, always looking forward to meeting his uncle because only he could help him try to deal with the apparent insomnia.

Oh, how desperately hopeful he was.
