Mates But Enemies

Chapter 47: Compose Yourself.

The man sat on his throne as he welcomed all guests and his sons, but then his countenance didn't

feel right. He kept looking at the other gate leading into the throne room and the King's palace. As the

guest entered, they greeted him but he paid any attention. He then thought,

‘Have they caught this high official yet? Why can't I mind link the guards? And I don't even know how

Barb is doing. ’

But there was no one to answer him, he was about getting up and see him when they heard a car

entering the premise so without even seeing it, he knew there was someone else coming.

And since he was expecting his children so he sat back down. The people saw the way he was restless

but none was bold enough to ask him what his problem was.

A few minutes later and the anticipated guest entered the throne room with his head high and a lady

following closely behind him. They saw who it was and the guests started whispering to each other in

wonder.

One of them told the other,

Who would have thought that the prodigal would also come.

Those who heard him nodded wondering too. If it was first he would pinpointed who spoke and would

have killed him that instant.

But the moment he was turning to look at the person the person who spoke, the lady behind him

touched his waist and he walked straight forward.

The elders were surprised at the improvement and looked at the the woman behind him astonished

and saw that she looked like a goddess even with long sleeved dress that had a long neck covering all

her neck and it laid on her body revealing her perfect body shape.

The dress swept the floor as she walked with him towards the man on the throne. All the while, he had

watched them with every step they took towards him, he looked at them and read their countenance.

He saw that the lady beside him could be a prospective queen but his son had almost no change in his

behavior. But he sat down and waited till they got to him and spoke to them,

“Welcome to my kingdom, enjoy as much as you can as you witness this amazing festive. Princess

welcome, I hope you have a wonderful time with us. ”

She looked at him marveled that he could know her identity without her telling him.

The king stood and told them to enjoy themselves as they wait for the rest of the princes and the other

guest then signaled the man to come forward. He moved forward even though he was angry that his

father had greeted as if they were strangers and guests.

Then the king said for their ears, © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Now that you are, I don't to hear that one of my people has ended badly in your hands without my

permission. Do compose yourself okay Enoch?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned the other way and walked out of the room using the other

way instead of the entrance.

They saw that he had left and the people became more cheerful and those who couldn't eat started

eating and those who wanted to drink started drinking.

Enoch and his mate looked up at the chairs beside the king's throne and saw that each had a name

stuck to the chair and there was none that had the name of Enoch. His mate looked at him and saw

that he was at his breaking point, his veins were popped on his forehead and arms as he clenched his

fists and teeth.

The lady walked to him and turned to look at the hall of people and saw that there were two chairs at

the far end of the front row so she held his fist and led him to the seats. They sat down but he couldn't

calm down his anger and frustration, he knew he wasn't accepted there but there was nothing he could

do. Since he had being banished from his mates kingdom too.

The king made his way to the palace clinic even as his wife had mind linked him that Barb was fine. He

still couldn't believe her if he hadn't seen him for himself, he walked to the clinic and saw Barb lying on

the bed with his mate Dianna sitting beside him and the Queen sitting on a chair as they both watched

him sleeping.

It surprised Dianna that they were acting that way towards him when he was on the hospital bed but

had treated him as if he didn't exist before. So she couldn't help but ask them,

“Why the sudden concern, he always thought that you both hated him, so I don't understand. And I

believe that it was your conversation that had prompted him to answer to the high official's call.

Because he had being trying all he could to impress his parents. Which has landed him here mute and

broken. ”

The king looked at his wife and she looked back at him then the Queen held her hands and said,

“You both might have gotten it wrong, all that we had being doing is to make him strong and smart

independent on anyone. Which includes even his parents, we had given him so much love that we had

made him weak unknowingly. So we decided to do everything in our power to make him strong again. ”

But then she shook his head and said,

“I don't believe you, you know being the king would make him strong but you are about to take that

responsibility from him, why is that?”

The queen smiled and shook her head then shook her head and said,

“It is so he can compete for what is his and be the strongest even before he takes the throne. If he

fights for it and earns it through hard work, he would cherish what he had gained through it. ”
