"We all request you to accept our decision. The council is very worried about the succession of the throne. You are the last of your line and thus it has become more crucial for you to procreate. We can understand your reluctance in not taking a female as your consort as your chances of begetting an heir from someone who is not your real mate are very slim but you remaining unmated for your whole life without a female by your side will lead your wolf to become untamed and wild.

We request that you take into account that your father willed you to protect the werewolves during his last breath. We want you to lead our packs as the packs have been prosperous under your rule. The problems regarding the rogues have also lessened in the recent years since you started the law of never turning a wolf into a rogue. A rogue is given a chance to join the pack of his choice and the rogues have started accepting the law.

Now just your single status makes us worried for you. You have even started rejecting the females to satiate your physical needs. We are very worried that your wolf will turn wild and rabid without physical release. Please consider our advice Alpha King," an old man was speaking to the alpha King of the werewolves.

Raphael Lupo Mannaro, the alpha king, looked bored yet the slight tightening of his jaw and the area around his eyes were the only visible signs of his change in expression.

The thirty year old, tall, muscular man straightened slowly. His huge body that had been looking harmless while he had been lounging against his huge leather seat looked dangerous as he straightened his huge frame.

The alpha king's calloused palms landed on the mahogany desk in front of him with enough force that the things over it rattled ever so slightly. The sound made everyone nervous as they were afraid to make the alpha king angry. The alpha king seldom showed his temper but his legendary temper was something everyone knew best was something no one wished to witness.

The three oldest members of the council who were sitting on the chairs placed opposite to his seat, looked intimidated at the sight. Their king was young but he was the most powerful alpha from all the packs. The green eyed, lazy looking man was around six feet and four inches. His hair was a dark shade of black. His wolf's fur was the same shade whenever he transformed. His eyes were a clear green like his predecessors on the throne but the orbs changed shades whenever his mood changed unlike the ones who had occupied his position before him.

Right now the shade was a dark green, the sign of his brewing temper. The slight tightening of the jaw didn't go unnoticed by the people occupying the room, including the beta of his pack and a few others who were waiting to discuss business with their king.

The alpha king raised his eyes and looked at his beta Hunter Collins who was standing near the door, guarding his king. His beta, who was also his closest friend, begged his alpha with his eyes to voice an agreement to an answer of the advice from the old geezers.

Beta Hunter hated the unending demands of the old council members and knew that the alpha king hated to be pressurized in any way. He also knew that the young king was feeling frustrated on not finding his one true mate that the moon goddess gifted the werewolves with. The soulmate of a wolf tamed the wolf and it remained docile towards his female counterpart but the king was becoming more unapproachable since he had turned thirty a few months ago.

The whole room was silently waiting for the alpha king's answer. The young king was not someone who did anything against his own wish.

Raphael looked at the old men with frustration as his wolf tried to take over his body. His wolf wasn't happy to be advised by the weak wolves, pressuring it to take a mate who wasn't his soul mate. The wolf was snarling in anger. Raphael did not try to calm him down as he knew from experience that his wolf wasn't one to calm down when the subject of discussion was its mate.
