The werewolf and his human mate

CHAPTER EIGHT: BAD FEELINGS.

Ethan strolled into his room and tried to remove his royal robe. He was famished and decided to call on Nathaniel who was still standing by the door.
"Nathaniel" Ethan called out his name,
"Yes, warlord" Nathaniel answered as he strolled into the room.
"Please, tell the maids in the kitchen to get me my meal, please tell them to make it snappy for I am very famished". Nathaniel nodded as he walked out of the room.
While Nathaniel was away, Ethan decided to lie down and rest his head on his bed.
But his thoughts drifted away to his brother, he wondered what could make his brother behave abnormal. He couldn't fathom the reason why Caesar's attributes were different from his, even though they both came from the same womb.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A knock was heard aside Ethan's chambers.
Immediately Ethan was awoken from his thoughts by Nathaniel's voice, it was only then he realised that it was a dream.
" Who is it?" Ethan asked with a grumbling voice.
" Warlord, it is I, Nathaniel".
"Is there any problem" Ethan inquired.
"Warlord your meal is ready, should I have it served in the dining hall of your bed chambers. Please tell them to serve it quickly because am famished and it should be very hot "
"Tell the maids to bring my food to my bed chambers, and Nathaniel I would like you to have a meal with me," Ethan added.
"It's right warlord" Nathaniel left to deliver his errand. Shortly after that, Ethan's meal was served in his bed chambers and the maid left immediately.
Nathaniel strolled in as well, and was now well sited, facing the food positioned on the table. Nathaniel waited for Ethan to start eating, so he could join him.
Ethan started eating, they ate the food in alter quietness. After a while, Ethan decided to break the quietness.
"My dear friend, Nathaniel, you have a very close friend to me. I see you been like my brother, I don't see you as a guard, you mean so much to me." Ethan added.
"Warlord,  I know you see me as your brother, just like the way is eating with you, it feels just like family. Is there any problem? Cause you look bothered. Nathaniel stated.
" My friend, I have a problem. I 'vee been having this thought and it's given me great concern. I think there  is a hiding meaning or a reason why." Ethan explained
"Can you tell me about it?." Nathaniel stated.
"While we were young, Caesar always got pissed off whenever our mother was given attention to me. Back then I thought he was just a child, that will outgrow it. But I was wrong all along. He is moved from bad to worse" Ethan added.
" Warlord, I really cannot tell the meaning of the feelings you are having frequent, I think you should visit the clan's seer. Ambrose, he should be in a better position to tell you the reason why your thoughts are disturbed." Nathaniel replied.
"I have not thought about it before, since you 've said so, I will just pay Ambrose a visit."
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A knock was heard aside from the door of Ethan's chambers. " Who is it? Ethan inquired.
"Warlord, it is your mother."
From the voice Ethan could tell that it was his mother." Come in mother" he added."
Annabel strolled right into her son's chambers, with a smiling face she greeted Ethan" Good afternoon son. How was your day? Hope no problems?" she said with a soft tone.
"Good afternoon mother" Ethan greeted and hugged his mother. Nathaniel just finished having his launch. The latter stood still and bowed to Ethan's mother.
" Good afternoon Alphanaya" he bowed as he greeted her.
"Afternoon Nathaniel, I can see you are having a great time with your friend. I am sorry it is not my intention but I would like to speak to my son alone". She spoke in a magnetic tone.
" As Alphanaya pleases, " Nathaniel bowed immediately and left the room.
"Son I know I said I would see you after dinner,  but I just couldn't wait for that, I had to see you right away. I want things to be right, I don't want you to have any issues in future." Annabel spoke softly.
"It's an ok mother," Ethan added.
"Ethan my son, you are now twenty-nine years of age. It is no doubt you've grown into a very fine warlord as the year goes by. I see your judgement, you are very caring to the entire werewolf clan, and as it is everybody likes you and is willing to support you. You are the rightful successor to the throne of your father. It is now time for you to be declared the successor of the entire werewolf clan. But you can't be declared the successor without getting yourself a wife. A war lady that will stand by you always". Annabel added.
" Mother I know that already, do you have any suitable candidate in mind. " Ethan asked his mother.
" Not at all son, do you have anyone in mind?. You know no one can choose a war lady for you" Annabel added.
"Mother is it possible for a warlord to choose a mortal female for a war lady". Ethan inquired.
Annabel's eyes became red, she transformed into her beast form. Her fangs and claws were now elongated. The fury in her eyes became very obvious, and Ethan immediately knew he had said something to upset his mother.
"Ethan" she yelled his name.
" Never in the history of werewolves have we cohabited with humans, let alone, have I heard a warlord taking a female mortal to be his war lady.

"Listen to me, I'm your mother, and I will never mislead you at all. Humans are evil creatures, they are very deceitful and can never be trusted" Annabel yelled at her son.
Anabel walked out of the room angrily living her son Ethan in a total state of dilemma.
