[JIMINIE]
Jiminie was pissed at Agust, but more than anything, he was shocked at how everything had turned out. This man had been spiteful towards him and had indirectly called him out, not to mention caused him a lot of pain that Jiminie would take a while to heal from.
He despised him with all he had and didn't have and yet at the same time, Jiminie wanted to make sure he was okay. Hearing king Agust whimper was the reminder Jiminie needed to know that even the worst of the worst could feel shit.
He was however surprised at why the man was in that state. Then again, even in his worst state, Agust was still Jiminie's piece of shit. Jiminie hated that this man would call and he would be right there, answering his call.
This wasn't how it was supposed to happen, relay because this was not what Jiminie had wanted to wake up to. The king had broken him and he was mad, and that was what he needed to stay, so why was it so damn difficult for him?
"What is wrong with you?" Jiminie asked as he laid the king on the bed. He hated that he was here again like this, but this man, however evil he was, was one of the reasons Jiminie had actually come to Helia.
When So Hee had mentioned that he would take Jiminie to king Agust, the werewolf alpha had known it would be in Helia, because Agust didn't have any other home than that.
Sure, he was the king and could do whatever the fuck he wanted, but then Jiminie didn't know that the mad king was once a werewolf too. He didn't know the trauma the mad king had had to endure and how he had managed to be this devil.
Perhaps it was something they would consider for another day, but until then, they had nothing to hope for anymore. Jiminie would simply nurse him and walk away. It was going to be that easy, right?
"Get the fuck out of this palace. I don't ever want to see your face again... Guards!!" King Agust said, his tone making Jiminie flinch. He hadn't expected this, but when the Lycan warriors walked into the king's chambers, they stood at attention, ready to be commanded.
None of them knew the king's relationship with the alpha in the room, but they looked like they were about to make this alpha feel the pinch of being the only werewolf in the Lycan kingdom who hated and despised wolves.
The reality between wolves and Lycans was never going to be toned down and Jiminie knew that.
Maybe he had hoped that being with Agust would make things better, but as the next words came out of Agust's mouth, he knew they would never be able to truly work things out.
This wasn't the truth they wanted to reel in but hey, it wasn't like Jiminie had wanted Helia for himself right?
"Sire," the guards said as they looked at the king who was now dressed. He looked like he didn't care about the stench of the wolf in the room but at the same time, the guards couldn't do shit unless the king commanded it.
"Escort Alpha Park to the borders and make sure he understands that he is not allowed in Helia again. If any wolf tries to defy the change, kill them. I don't have time to deal with little shits in the realm.
"And tell the enforcer to prepare for the final war with the wolves who are cramped up in Kiyoto," King Agust said and Jiminie felt all the air leave his lungs. He had thought that they were having a good moment, that they had a chance against the Lycans.
He had thought that coming to Helia would make Agust stop hunting them, but now he was sure the monster would always remain the monster. Agust was never going to change.
Jiminie faulted himself for almost trusting that the king would ever change for him. Well, at least he has his answers this time. He knew Agust hated him and there was never going to be anything else.
The king had always hated wolves and it had been dumb of Jiminie to think that just because they were erasthais, things would change for his people or even the Lycans. Well, he had been right of hope.
Then again, this right here was the only reminder Jiminie needed to never trust any Lycan again, whether they were his mate or not. This man was the cruelty that lingered in the realm and Jiminie would never forgive him.
"Yes, sire," the guards said as they grabbed the alpha who was not ready to leave. He wanted to know what had prompted Agust to change like this, but at the same time, Jiminie knew he would not be getting any answers.
It wasn't easy to let go but he had to, so he let the guards drag him out while Agust watched in silence like this was what he had wanted to do to Jiminie for the longest time.
The man who got angry if he so much as had a scratch on his was here letting the guards rush him out of the same room that he had once sworn was scared. It was a difficult thing for Jiminie to accept but what else could he do?
It wasn't like there was more he could try and bargain with. And so, without goodbyes or even a last look at the king on the bed, Jiminie let the Guards hurry him.
He knew it was humiliating and this would be a reminder for the Lycans that their king never let the wolves have a say in their lives. This here was a statement for the Lycans and Jiminie was it all.
Jiminie was still the strongest werewolf alpha in the realm. Humiliating Jiminie like this was encouraging to the Lycans even as they cheered on.
"Until next time, my beautiful Jiminie," Agust said softly as he stood at his window, watching the love of his life walk out of Helia like he was some sort of an enemy to the very race that had almost wiped all of his.
The Lycan king knew this was cruel of him, especially since most of the Lycans could still smell Jiminie's arousal. However, they were smart enough to know that the werewolf alpha was off-limits for them.
They all knew what had happened to Berto and there were rumors of how the king had strangled Berto for trying to mess with Jiminie. It was a story with several phases, but one thing was certain;
None of them was to leave anything, so much as a scar on the pretty alpha. This man here was the one who could turn Helia into a warzone and the king would wipe them all out just so he could be with Jiminie, even from a distance.
"What are you doing here?" Agust asked when he smelled his enforcer as she walked into the room, a clear frown on her face.
"In case you forgot, I am a Lycan, Xiao Zhu. And your pretty little mate swore to kill himself if he saw me in Kiyoto again… unless that is something you want," So Hee said, the disappointment on her face clear as she stared at her best friend and king.
