The Alpha King Stubborn Mate
An Unexpected Twist

'Don't resist when life needs to remove the "old" to make room for the "new." The pain you're feeling isn't caused by letting things or people go, what's actually hurting you is swimming exhaustively against the natural flow that was intended to carry you. What's truly meant for you shouldn't feel forced, and your blessings are definitely on the way. So stop clinging to whatever needs to be purged... focus instead on freeing yourself to receive. What God has for you, is meant just for you... you'll never have to fight or compete with anyone for what's been divinely designated as yours.'

0000 AN UNEXPECTED TWIST 0000

Roen's Palace:

They all ate to their satisfaction and soon Jason, Jorkallun and his mate left the king alone with his mate.

They went back to Rosa garden to discuss about their life and wedding that Jason and Jorkallun decided they will wed same day.

Jorkallun and Sarah stayed in the Palace throughout the night.

"After all my father always know I am in Jason house if I didn't return home." Jorkallun told Jason and Sarah as usual.

Jorkallun followed Sarah home to tell her grandmother of her staying in the palace which the old woman agreed. Sarah changed into her night clothes before leaving with Jorkallun to the palace. So they spend the night in the Wolf King Palace.

Next Day:

Jason went to meet his father in the throne room.

"Father, Mrs Lillian will be coming to the palace today with Rae to visit mother. Please father whatever grudges or hatred you still have for Tharollin shouldn't be transferred to Rae. Please father."

"Well whatever hate I have for Rae is no longer there. I was even planning to pay Lillian a visit soon to apologize to them on how I act at the wolf festival. So you have my support in making her your mate and also marrying her." Roen said with a smile.

"Thank you so much father." Jason said in happiness and hug his father. "Thank you."

"You are welcome son. And since they are coming, I am going to hold a bouquet for them so that I can also apologize for my wrongful act I displayed on the wolf festival." King Roen said. "I will inform the palace cook to start preparing food immediately." He said and left the throne room.

Jason went to meet Jorkallun and Sarah and he told them what his father has said.

"Wow I am glad your father has started to see reason unlike before." Jorkallun said with a happy smile. "And also come and lend me your clothes that I will wear for the banquet." He added.

"Sure thing my Friend, luckily enough we are of the same height." Jason said. "And Sarah you can go and meet my mother, she will give you something nice to wear." He added and left with Jorkallun to his chamber telling a guard to take Sarah. to his mother.

Rosa was happy to receive Sarah and uses her magic to make a nice short blue gown for Sarah since she noticed the girl Loves blue.

Lillian and Rae soon arrived and were lead by a guard to the banquet room where everyone was already waiting for them there. Rosa has told the guards to bring Lillian to the banquet room once she arrived.

Opening the door, Lillian was the first to enter before Rae. King Roen stood up from his seat when they came in.

"Lillian, good to see you again." Roen said with a genuine smile.

Surprise that he was smiling at her she turned to look at Rosa who smiled at her, doing a little cutesy to Roen. "Thank you my king."

"Please you and Rae should sit down." King Roen said pointing at the only two empty seats at the same table with them. One of the seat was beside Rosa and the other one was beside Jason. Lillian and Rae sat down.

Jason placed a kiss on Rae's lips and she forced herself to peck his cheek after their kiss.

Sarah was staring at Rae but nothing seems to be wrong with Rae again, probably it was her eyes that deceived her.

"You may be wondering why I am doing this right Lillian?" King Roen asked and when Lillian nodded her head, he continues. "Well I replace out the truth about your sister yesterday, Sarah here is a mermaid too. I realise you were telling me the truth but I paid deaf ears to it."

"I am glad you now see things the way I do. What about Tamara, does she knows about you knowing the truth?" Lillian asked.

"Yes, in fact I arrested her immediately and brought her here and you wouldn't believe what I am about to tell you." King Roen said in all smiles.

"And what can that be my King?" Lillian asked.

"My wife here has magic, she is a druid, the last one, actually two since my son here is half a druid. It was her magic that lead to the arrest of Tamara. My wife here was also the one who took Tamara away to cage her somewhere safe where no one but her will free her." King Roen said excitedly to Lillian.

"I told him everything, at first he didn't believe but when I did magic, he believed." Queen Rosa said with a smile when Lillian send her a look. "Don't worry, my son will protect me when he comes." She added referring to Taloc. "Well, I am very happy that my King now knows the true identity of my sister, though I feel sad that Tamara who is my sister could do such abominable things to everyone of us." Lillian said in sadness.

"I understand your feelings Lillian since she is your only family that you have, but you did the right thing by telling me even though I didn't believe at first. It shows you are not in support of your sister act." King Roen said feeling sorry for Lillian.

The door opened to reveal three female servants who carried three set of trays that was filled with all sorts of food. They greeted everyone and set the tray on the table. Another female servant came with a jug of water together with silver cups, greeting them she set the silver cups and the silver jug of water on the table.

"Did you bring the wine that I kept in the kitchen?" One of the female servants asked the who just came in.

"No ma'am, I forgot."

"Then go back and bring the wine here you stupid fool." She ordered.

"Yes ma'am." The girl answered and turned to leave when Rae's voice stopped her.

"You can pass your message to her without an insult." Rae told the servant who ordered the other girl.

"Sorry my lady."

"Apology not accepted." Rae said and turned to look at the girl going. "I will follow you to bring the wine here, her presence irritates me." She added and gesture to the servant that was ordered to bring the wine to lead the way. Which she did.

Once they were outside the banquet room, the door opened and Sarah walked out.

"Please excuse us for a minute." Sarah told the servant who nodded her head and give them some space. "Rae are you alright?"

"What sort of question is that Sarah?"

"Nothing, is just that I feel something wrong with your voice when you reply that lady in there so I was worried. You know you can tell me what is bothering you, I am your sister."

"There is nothing wrong with me Miss observer, I am okay, I was just angry at the way she shouted at her and still insulted her." Rae said. "Now since I have told you nothing is wrong with me dear sister, I will take my leave now. I have to please Jason's father to see his daughter in law potential in me before he changes his mind. Thank you, excuse me." Rae added and left to join the servant who was waiting for her and they head for the kitchen.

"Rae doesn't behave like this before, she has never answered me in such manner before. Something is wrong with her or am I overreacting." Sarah told to herself and went back to the banquet room.

Rae and the servant girl return with the wine which was carried by Rae.

Dropping it on the table, the rest of Servants including the girl who Rae followed all walked out leaving the royal family alone.

Rosa used her magic to pour wine into the silver cups and still use her magic to place the cups in each of their front.

They started eating and drinking, gisting among themselves.

10 Minutes Later....

"You know, I love this reunion that I am seeing or what do you think Taloc?" Lucifer voice was heard and that stopped the chattering going around the table as they all stopped to look at the strange man who appeared in the middle of banquet room, not too far from their table.

"And who are you?" Roen asked staring at Lucifer and Taloc, he could have sworn the green haired man looked familiar to him, but where has he encountered him before?

Rosa eyes went wide in shock and fear as she saw the man she hasn't seen for years, the man that she was scared he would replace her if she ever perform magic. Lillian quickly recognise the man with green hair.

"My name is Lucas." Lucifer introduced himself.

"And I am Ta-" Taloc begin to say but was interrupted by Rosa.

"Taloc." Rosa completed his sentence. "I could recognise you even if I get to meet you in one million years to come, your green hair always gave you away." She added.

Taloc smiled. "Yeah I am the one and only Tribrid we have." He said. "I am glad you still remember me after all these years Likarica." He added with a smirk. "Good to see you too." "Guards!!" Roen shouted. "Guards!!!"

"Hush now, you don't need to shout, they are already subdued." Lucifer said.

And as if on cue, King Alf, the Amazon King, opened the door of the banquet room and entered, bowing before Taloc. "We have subdued every guards and wolf Knights in the palace, what next should I and my warriors do with them?" "Take them to the dungeon and lock them up." Lolly's voice was heard as she walked into the banquet room, surprising everyone as she commands the Amazon King.

King Alf nodded his head and left their presence.

Lillian saw his enchanted eyes, King Alf is no longer there.

"Lolly what's the meaning of this? Why will you tell your father to attack my men and take them to the dungeon? Are you alright?" King Roen demanded.

"King Alf isn't my father." Lolly said and pointed to Taloc. "He is, I am only wearing Lolly's skin which I took after I killed her. I have King Alf under my control now." She added with a smirk.

"You will be wondering why you weren't hearing the sword fighting that took place in your Palace a few minutes ago, that is because I cast a spell here and your two foolish sorceresses couldn't detect it." Taloc said. "And speaking of them, I am taking Rosa with me." Taloc added and moved towards Rosa.

Jason tried to get up to stop the approaching Taloc but found out he couldn't, his legs suddenly felt weak.

Rosa tried to use her magic but surprisingly enough, her magic couldn't work. She tried once more and cough out blood instead.

Lillian tried using her spell which couldn't work. And just like Rosa, she started coughing out blood.

"Rosa!!" King Roen shouted trying to reach his wife but before he could, Taloc levitate her to him and held Rosa by her neck. "What have you done to my wife? Leave her alone." Roen said

"Too late Roen, she is now in my arms and in my arms she shall die." Taloc said smiling and turned to face Lucifer, "You can take over from here, I have her now. I will be back after I end this." He added and disperse into nothing with Rosa. "Rosa!!" Roen shouted and charge over to meet Lucifer to attack him. He fell down to his feet and held his neck as blood started coming out from his mouth.

Jorkallun and Sarah couldn't feel their body again. They were weak and growing weaker as the minutes went by.

The only person who appears normal that wasn't affected was Rae.

Lucifer laughed evilly. "None of you still get it, do you?" He questioned but none could answer as they all felt weak. So he answered his question. "Let me break it down for all of you. You all have been poisoned. And that is why you are weak and spitting out blood. The poison is now in your system, eating your energy and powers slowly. And you." He pointed to Roen. "By the time the poison has fully spread in your whole body, you will no longer be a Wolf. Your wolf with depart from you soon."

"What have you done to us? Who are you?" Roen managed to speak out as the blood coming out form his mouth refuse to slow down.

"I am glad you asked that question Roen. I am the Almighty LUCIFER."

"Impossible, you can't be Lucifer, the one we know-"

"The one you know is the fake one, the one you all defeated centuries ago is not me. I was caged and he freed me. I am the real Lucifer and he was my cover up. He is dead anyway." Lucifer interrupted Lillian.

"How did you manage to get to our food and poison us all?" Sarah question, she felt her blood coming out of her mouth.

"That will be me."

Every head turn around in slow motion to look at Rae who spoke. They were shocked.

"I poisoned the wine which you all drank." Rae said getting up to her feet and going to stand next to Lucifer. "The servant girl wasn't looking when I put the poison in the wine which you all drank." "Rae why did you do it?" Jason asked.

"The Rae you once knew is dead and gone. This is a new Rae who listened to my every command." Lucifer answered.

"How did you manage to get hold of Rae?" Lillian demanded.

"Thanks to you I was able to get hold of my beautiful Rae."

"She is not yours and can never be yours."

"Hush now little boy, Rae wasn't yours to begin with. She is mine and when you are gone, she will belong to me forever." Lucifer said and turned his gaze back to Lillian. "Like I said before I have you to thank." Flashback:

Rae was returning from Mrs Ashley house when she encountered a strange injured vampire man laying on the lone road.

She rushed to him and touched his neck and discovered he was still breathing, though slowly.

The man opened his eyes and saw Rae.

Rae saw the movements of his eyes and slowly asked if he could talk which the man nodded.

"What happened?"

"I was attacked by some 10 Hellhounds, they made away with all my valuable and golds and they left me here to die."

"You are a vampire and your kingdom is still far from here. My magic isn't that strong yet to teleport you home and my portal was only made to appear in my school. What can I do to help you Mister?"

"I just need a little blood to heal me quicker and I will be strong like I was once again."

"Oh, you can have my blood then." Rae said kindly and cut a part of her arms and gave him her blood.

Lucifer smirked as he drained her blood, he was glad his body looks like a vampire so he cut himself to make it look more real.

His wounds heal and he was able to control Rae from that moment onwards.

He stood up to his feet and smiled. "You are now mine Rae, only mine."

"I am yours and only yours." Rae said as if she was in a trance.

"Good, from now henceforth no one who is not me will touch you and you will enjoy it." Lucifer commanded and Rae nodded her head in submissive. "You can go now my beautiful one, I will see you soon." End Of Flashback...

"You are so evil." Lillian said in shock after hearing what Lucifer did to Rae.

"Evil is my other name." Lucifer said. "Beside she has darkness in her which helped me achieve my aim quickly."

"What are you going to do to us?" Jorkallun demanded.

"First, Lolly, get some guards to carry the witch and the king out of here." Lucifer said and Lolly quickly went out and came back with some Amazon Warriors and ordered them to take Roen and Lillian to the dungeon. Some Amazon Warriors still stayed behind.

****

Taloc appeared with Rosa who he still held in her neck. He throws her to the ground roughly.

"Do you know where we are? Do you still remember here?"

Rosa slowly looked around and saw they were inside an old building and her eyes widened when she recognised the place.

"This is exactly the place you lure me and my Mate to come and you broke my bond I have with her because of that stupid vampire who fell in love with her!" Taloc shouted. "And now you are weak and at my mercy, this is where I will end your

life. Goodbye Likarica." He added and disappeared, reappearing outside the house. With a snap of his fingers, the whole building collapsed, falling on Rosa.

His job was done, time to go back to the Wolf Palace.

With that thought he disappeared.

He appeared when they were about taking Roen and Lillian to the dungeon.

"What have you done to my mother?"

"She is dead." Taloc answered Jason and he saw Lolly and Lucifer and couldn't see his second Mate, Tamara.

"Where is your mother Lolly?"

"I thought you sent her on an errand to come and join us later on."

"I did not." Taloc said. "Where else could she be?"

The sudden laughter of Sarah draw their attention.

"What is so funny?" Lolly demanded angrily.

"Your father killed the only person who knows the whereabouts of your stupid mother. She was arrested yesterday for her traitorous acts and Queen Rosa took her to a place where no one could replace her. You won't get to see her again." Sarah said with confidence, she tried to fight her weak body to move but couldn't.

Lolly went to her and slapped her hard.

"Slap me when I am not poisoned fool."

Lolly growled angrily which only makes Sarah laughed out.

"Take her out of here and behead her." Lolly ordered two of the Amazon Warriors with them. "Make sure you drag her away from here."

Jorkallun tried all he could to get up and prevent them from taking Sarah all to no avail.

They grab hold of her hand each and drag her out of the banquet room, her laughter was the last thing they heard before the door was shut.

"I will be back." Taloc said and disappeared going back to where killed Rosa.

Getting there, he whispered some words and the fallen building levitated into the air. He search and search for Rosa body, but couldn't see it. He only saw some blood stains on the ground where he had kept her before the building collapsed. She was weak from the poison they had taken so she couldn't perform any magic so where is her dead body?

"Now to get down to business, Jason it is now your turn." Lucifer added and waved his hand around them. Jorkallun blinked his eyes as he saw that they were no longer in the banquet room. They were on top of a huge cliff, which looks deep and dark below. Just him, Jason, Rae, Kill and Lucifer.

Levitating Jason to the edge of the ciff, he dropped him there. Jason manages to stand up to his feet that was shaking due to the poison.

"Pushing me off the cliff, is that the best you got?" Jason asked.

"Who said anything about pushing you off?" Lucifer said with a smile and then continue. "Rae is now mine. I win."

"She is not yours as long as I breathe. I will replace a way of breaking whatever spell you have placed on her."

"Rae blood flows in my body, just as you mark her as yours, her blood in me marks her as mine, and I am not leaving you alive."

"Kill me, then I will come back to life."

"Oh you won't come back to life after I kill you. I have what kills a Tribrid, and even though you are a Phoenix, the poison in you has weakened it, your beast, everything is weak. You are nothing as it stands now. And I will enjoy killing you and having Rae finally to myself."

"Kill Jason, that wasn't among the plan Lucas." Lolly voice was heard. "You use Rae as a bait and force Jason to mark me as his, that was what my mother told me."

"I lied. Jason will die, he is still connected with my Rae. If he still lives, I can't touch her as I want. So you see Lolly, he has to die." Lucifer said facing Lolly.

"This wasn't what we planned, I don't want anyone to die, I just want Jason."

"Too late for that I must say, your father is not here to stop me and you cannot either."

"Lucas do not hurt Jason."

"Stop me if you can." Lucifer smirked and made the sword he created appeared in his hand. He walked over to meet Jason. "Too bad your story ends here." He added raising up the sword to strike Jason.

"Rae, come and kill him yourself." Lucifer said and waited until Rae reached his side before he gave her the sword. "End his life and thrust the sword in his heart Rae."

***

"What's keeping Eros?" Zeus asked for the umpteen time as the rest of the gods including him awaits the presence of Eros.

"Sorry I am late." Eros's voice was heard. "I was almost here when I remember something I forgot-"

"That's okay, come on, let's start going." Zeus said. "The air feels different today, as if something bad wants to happen."

"Then let's start going father." Ares said and left the gods abode followed by the others.

***

Taking the sword from Lucifer, Rae covers the remaining between her and Jason

"Rae I know you can hear, do not allow him to control you. Fight this Rae, fight it. I know you can do it. For the sake of the love we have for each other, fight his control over you."

"Rae is dead and gone. I am no longer the Rae you use to know before. Good bye Jason."

"Listen I know you can fight it. I Love yo-" Jason didn't get to complete his sentence when he felt the sword thrust inside his body. Rae removed the sword that was half way inside his body, his heart as blood clotted it.

Jason was shocked as he stared at Rae, then he felt the pains. Jorkallun shouted Rae's name as he started clawing towards them in difficulty.

"Rae I know you didn't do that on purpose, you have to fight it, you-" he screamed out in pain as he felt a second thrust inside his body. Jason ignored the immense pain it brought in his body as he focused more on Rae. His eyes were filled with tears as they flowed down his cheeks.

"Rae, no matter what you did, know that I still love you and I forgive you."

Rae thrust the sword a third time into his heart, pulling out the sword from his body, she pushed Jason completely out of the cliff.

Jason fell down the huge deep dark cliff with his already tearful eyes staring at his Rae. His right hand going straight to his heart which was already pouring out blood from where Rae had thrust her sword in. He closes his eyes with the memory of his beloved Rae face forever stuck in his memory.

Back in the cave, Avonmora eyes flew wide open for the first time in a thousand years. As she opened her eyes, Jason breaths his last.
