It has been two years since I last saw my mate even though I longed to see her beautiful face but I couldn't because of the fear of losing the throne and because I didn't want a weak human as my mate "Arthur mum and dad wants to see you now"my sister, Fiona said "what do they want?"I asked "I don't know"she said "didn't you hear anything?"I asked "nope, but I think it's something related to that nonsense they want you to marry"she said "how else can I explain it to them that I am not getting married to Josephine"I said "I don't know maybe you can talk to them now"she said before putting on her earphones. I left my room and went to my dad's room, I knocked twice before my dad's deep voice asked me to come in and I went in "why do you want to see"I asked "it's because of the issue your mum and I discussed with you last night we want to know if you have taken a decision"he said"father I would rather wait for my beloved than getting married to that whore, Josephine isn't someone that can lead this kingdom so allow me to wait for my beloved"I said with all finality "Arthur to have the throne and to rule this kingdom you need someone to rule beside you and since you haven't found your mate after centuries of waiting and searching we have decided to get you married to Barbara's daughter and she herself didn't complain"my mum said "why would she complain when it is to her own advantage,mum I don't love Josephine and if you get us married the marriage can't work, I have tried my best to tell you guys this but you aren't ready to listen please this is my life"I said angrily "but Josephine is a very nice girl I know that once you guys have a proper talk you will love her"my mum said "I don't care about what you think she is but I am not going to get married to Josephine"I said "then get ready to forget the throne and the kingdom"my dad said angrily "Alexander"my mum said "what do you think I have time to wait for you to find a mate you've been looking for, for 300 years and I'm not even sure they've given birth to her"my dad said "I'm sure I can convince him and I'm very sure he is just confused he doesn't know what to choose"my mum said "you better convince him fast because I do not have that much patience"my dad said and walked out angrily "don't mind him my love you know he has anger issues but don't worry I'll talk to him to give you some time to think"she said "mum don't I have the right to choose who I spend the rest of my life with?"I asked "you do but it's just that we need you to mate soon"she said and left and I couldn't help but think,why is this happening to me?why can't I choose to live my life the way I want to? I thought before leaving their room for mine and I did what I have been doing ever since I knew what my mate was to clear my head which was calling one of my whores.
