บท 57: Chapter 57 - Implications of the change
Due to the rainstorm, they had to stay in the small hut for the night.
Nicolai, the seven vampires, two werewolves, and a human had to stay in there all cramped. The hut sheltered them from the rain but it could not protect them from the cold.
Nico and the six kids cuddled together.
Dylan peered at him with a visible pout. "Can't we cuddle? I'm very warm. You don't need to have six of them on you…"
"I am warm but these kids are not..."
"They are not kids," he grumbled loudly. "They are all about ten years old... why do you still treat them as kids?"
"They are not. They are still kids in vampire ages. I was coddled by my elders until I was nineteen." Nicolai whispered gently caressing Kiran's head.
The kid cutely smirked at him.
"They all such cute angels." silence presumed after that.
Nicolai glanced at his beloved intensely. Dylan was pouting casting glances his way occasionally. 'What made him grow up to be like this… he was such a cute and innocent child….. I want to know.. I want to know more about him.'
A small sense of curiosity awoke in him.
"Why do you think vampires still exist?"
Dylan looked at him with a mystified look. "Don't know, they suddenly disappeared and all of a sudden new vampire started to pop up,"
"it was nature's way of restoring balance. You killed our kind and mother nature just made us pop out. hell moon goddess is such a badass look at our situation. You, the alpha king, is mates with me, the half-vampire."
Contrary to his expectation Dylan did not look down at this statement. Instead, he had a very cheerful smirk on his face. "Yes, you, my dear Nico, are my fated mate. I would not want it any different."
Nico felt his face heat up. "G-god the mosquitoes.. They are so annoying," he slapped his own cheeks. "Got one,"
"Where..." Dylan hurriedly glanced around in the dark room. "I don't see any mosquitoes,"
"t-they are all hiding. Why would they come out and see your annoying face," Nicolai glared at him.
"Oh..." like a whimpering puppy he glanced at the ground.
The guy named Killian sighed. "God what the hell is this. Are you really serious about giving up your rule? And you, Nico, are you being serious right now?"
Nicolai scoffed. "Why would I be even talking to you if I'm not serious?"
Killian sighed. "There are going to be so many problems.. This... this ass already left behind so much paperwork," he glanced at Dylan who glared at him. "Sorry our dear alpha king here has been dodging from his work for a few months now. And there has been so much work piling up."
"You think I can't do it?" Nicolai challengingly looked at him.
"I didn't say that..."
"But you thought it. Mister Killian, I am very well capable of leading a pack." He said brimming with confidence but inside he was very doubtful.
This was not just a pack this was the alpha king's pack. The alpha king was the leader of all alphas around the globe. He technically had control of this entire world.
He had to take control of all that.
'It's a bit overwhelming...' he gulped silently.
Raven, who was to the side, moved a bit close. "are you sure it's going to worm out? if this plan of yours fails you will be brutally murdered along with us,"
"I'm sure it will work," he whispered back.
"Hey stay away from my mate!" Dylan growled.
"He's my brother!" Nico glared at him. "And I am having a discussion about how to rule. Don't get involved,"
Dylan whimpered slightly and sat there with his head down.
"Moon goddess, have mercy," Killian groaned patting his back. Secretly, he peered back at Nicolai. It was just a few hours ago that this man was running away shouting that he was rejecting their alpha king and now... he had become the alpha king.
The power dynamic had changed.
'It's going to cause so much chaos,'
Even under Dylan's rule, many werewolves tried to take the throne as they would call it by trying to kill Dylan. But no one of them succeeded because the alpha wolf overpowered them all.
They all feared him... but things might not be the same again.
Looking at Dylan, he once again sighed. "look Nicolai.."
"It's Luna to you," Dylan growled.
"Luna, what is your plan? Let me give you a suggestion. If you abdicate Dylan right now, the werewolves would be even more cross with vampires,"
Nicolai just peered down at him. "So? They already hate us,"'
"Not that much. They will detest you and some other packs might even take this change to kill you to take the new position you took,"
Dylan growled loudly. "I will not let anyone hurt my mate!"
"Dylan please let me talk!" Killian peered at them both. "It's a suicide mission. Taking the pack right ow is dangerous."
"I know you're trying to protect your pack by keeping me away but if I'm not the alpha king, I will not step even ten feet close to that man," Nicolai intervened.
"No! I won't accept that! Nicolai will be the alpha king! or.. we can call him Luna king," he smirked.
Nico just gave him a middle finger.
"Agh!!! You guys are not understanding me!! The other packs will attack us. War will begin if you take the pack like this. Instead, I'm suggesting let Dylan still be the figurehead, but Nicolai will be making the rules. No one will question the alpha king's words but they will never listen to your orders Nico," he glanced at Dylan. "Alpha, this is not for good. we have maintained peace for eight hundred years with difficulty... I don't want it shattered by your impulsive decision!"
Nicolai shot up. "so you still want him as your head. What about me? What if doesn't listen to me. How can I be assured that I will be able to rule the pack according to my wish?"
"He is your puppy! I can't bear to see him like this but this man is smitten. I don't believe he would go against your words ever," Killian frustratingly looked at his alpha king.
Dylan smiled dashingly. "My beta is right. I will never ga against your word my love. Anything you say goes. To be honest, I don't even like being the alpha king. it sucks,"
"Alpha..." Killian looked at him with a heartfelt expression.
"It's how it's going to be Killian, get used to it. Your alpha king belongs to him,"
"Gods have mercy.. no.. mister Nico have mercy on us," Killian smiled in his direction.
Nicolai gave him a dazzling smile. "I will. Unlike a childish ruler I will be a good alpha king,"
The decision was made.
Killian silently sat in the corner while nico and Dylan were having a discussion.
"Do you not like the idea," a soft voice whispered beside him.
Killian glanced to his die to notice Darius sitting there with a small smile. "I think it's going be chaotic... those two don't realize the implications of their decision. It can really lead to another war... and a lot of paperwork....." he groaned loudly.
"Our elder is very talented. You don't have to worry about him. He might seem childish but he is a very good leader."
"Really?" Killian glanced at him. "Do you like him?"
"Yeah after he came into our life we started to live a very comfortable life. He worked his ass off to help us. He didn't have to but he still did." Darius smiled up at him.
Killian slightly blushed. "I see..... this decision also had its bright sides…. This way you get to stay with me.." he mumbled.
Darius suddenly chuckled. "Oh you are in the same situation as the alpha king. I have yet to reject you but I've yet to accept you as well."
Killian went pale. "You... you don't like me..."
"I don't know you....and I don't like you" Darius stood up.
He immediately garbed his hand. "What must I do for you to like me?"
"Help my elder. He is going to need a lot of help... you have to help him."
"I will.. so will you open your heart for me,"
Darius pulled his hand away with a blush. "Only the future can tell,"
