Why does the world hate me? I grown to myself. I hate Mondays because Monday's are meeting days and that means I have to meet with my father. He is the current king of Zoro, a country on the planet Zion. Zion is the planet I am from. I am the next heir, so my dad has been teaching me what I need to know about running a country. Today's meeting is about how I haven't settled down with anyone yet. Leaders on this planet are supposed to be married by the time they are 30, I am 28 and still not married. Luckily for me our sexuality doesn't matter and everyone excepts everyone no matter who they love.

I drag my big ass out of bed and head to the shower. Everyone on this planet is larger than the average of other life forms, at least that's what I have concluded from the research I have done. I stand at about 7'5, and I have a lot of muscle. I like to think I am attractive, but sometimes I feel like my lovers just say what they think I want to hear because of my status. They always want to gain something from me. That gets old, I need a man to be honest with me and not feed me bullshit. I need someone to love me for me, not for what I can do for them.

I'm guessing that during this meeting I will be forced to go out and search for my soulmate, although I'm excited about that it's still a daunting task. What if I never find them? With these thoughts in my head, I finish getting ready and head to my fathers meeting room.

I knock a few times and wait for permission to enter. My dad gets a little cranky if you don't knock first.

Come in and sit down Anders. I will get right to the point. You will be leaving this afternoon to head to planet Earth to see if you can find your soulmate. You are running out of time and you cannot become the next king without being married. Do you understand?!?!

Sigh*, Yes father, I understand. Can you get the ship ready and the crew who will accompany me please. Also a list of places would be helpful I say in a bored tone.

He doesn't reply, but instead starts making calls getting everything ready. Well here goes nothing. I hope this turns out to be a success.

Once the ship is ready, the crew and I head to the little blue planet. With all the advanced technology it only takes a few minutes. Dad gave me a list of places to try first so I just randomly start picking some from the list. Luckily for my species, we are able to feel our soulmate from long distances, so we won't have to search all over each place which is nice.

We checked the first 10 places on the list with no success, the next place read Texas, Austin. Eh whatever let's try it I thought to myself. We land near a giant building and it's already getting dark outside here. The crew made sure to conceal the ship so it doesn't draw attention from the humans. As soon as I step off the ship I immediately get this deep warm sensation in my chest. I know my soulmate is nearby. I can feel him. Yes, I know it's a him, since I am gay it can only be a man. I just hope he is also gay or at least bisexual.

I rush back inside and tell the crew the good news. Everyone is beyond excited, I have to reach deep inside to figure out which way to go to get to him. He is definitely close by though because my chest is already warm. It will get warmer the closer I get to him, but not in an uncomfortable way.

We slowly cruise around until I yell out for them to stop. I rush outside and see we are in the backyard of some little house looking thing. Is this where my mate lives?!?! My eyes scan over the dwelling and I notice a rather small young man come outside carrying a bag of trash. It must be my lucky day I think to myself. He is so cute, from what I can see. I have to go speak to him, although I'm sure he will freak out on me. He is my soulmate so he will be leaving with me tonight, one way or another. I just hope this can be a pleasant meeting. I have a feeling it won't be though. Shit never goes my way when I need it to, I think to myself.

I watch him for a few more seconds, just admiring his beauty before I slowly approach him. He's not really paying attention even though I can tell he was trying to be at least a little bit cautious, since I'm sure he could tell something was off. He turns around slowly and he notices I'm standing pretty close to him. I admire his features from up close and try to keep my thoughts pure. "Hi little one", I need you to come with me baby.", I coo at him sweetly. I mentally face palm myself as his eyes go wide and his tenses up. He looks like he's going to either have a panic attack or yell at any moment. Before I have a chance to grab him, he bolts off in the direction of what I assume to be his house. He didn't even say anything, he just took off. How strange, I think to myself as I sprint after my little mate. I can already tell he is going to be a feisty one. Lucky for him I am up for the challenge.

Present time:

Gavins POV

I can hear yelling behind me and I know that I won't make it inside my house before this dude catches up to me. I decide to try to make it to the garage to buy myself some more time. He is to fast. Suddenly I am tackled rather harshly into the grass on the side of my studio apartment just before I make it to garage door.

I am face down in the grass, and this dude is laying on top of me. "It's cute that you thought you could outrun me little one," he whispers in my ear. I shiver as his breathe tickles my skin. Who is this joker, and what does he want from me? I must have spoken out loud, because he answers me. "My name is Anders and all will be explained soon, but for now we must go.", he tells me rather dominantly. I already don't like the affect he is having on my mind and body. This is not going to end well.

Oh for fucks sake, this guy really is nuts. " I am not going anywhere with you dude, I have classes, friends, an apartment, I can't just leave.", I yell at him. He covers my mouth and looks around to make sure no one was walking by or noticed us or anything. "I'm sorry, but you don't have a choice and neither do I.", we will talk soon. Have a good nap cutie." That was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

Anders POV

Wow, that was a crazy way to meet my soulmate. Thankfully the area around his house seems to be deserted. I don't need anyone seeing us. He will probably hate me now, but I didn't have a choice, we need to get back to Zion so I can tell my father the good news. I will get him to trust me and fall in love with me eventually. After all I need my mate and he needs me.

I scoop up my mate and head back to the space ship. He should be asleep until later tomorrow so that gives me time to get things ready for him at home. I call my father once we are headed home and tell him the good news. Him and my mother are thrilled and can't wait to meet my little mate. I hope they like him and I hope he likes them too. I am nervous about him meeting my little sister and little brother, they are harder to please than my parents. I'm not too worried about it though because Ava will adore him and probably want to dress him up or become friends with him or some shit. They are twins, Axe and Ava are 18 years old. Ava and Axe look like our mother with blond hair and blue eyes, where I look like our dad with brown hair and hazel eyes.

Once we arrive back at the palace, we are met with the welcoming committee, aka my parents and my annoying little brother and sister.

Ava: Omg! Is that him?!!?! He's so tiny! Can I see him please big brother!?!!!?

Anders: shhhhh for the love of all that is holy, can you not scream child! I gently scold her. She shyly looks away embarrassed and mumbles an apology. My mother rushes over and takes my mate from my arms after she slaps me for being mean to my little sister. "I'm sorry Ava, I just didn't want you to wake him up.", I tell her gently. We hug and all is well again. My mother has already prepared a guest room for my little mate until he is comfortable enough to share a bed with me. I may be an alien prince, but I'm not a monster. I want him to feel safe and comfortable with me, after all we have to spend the rest of our lives together.

We all take him to his room and I notice he needs a bath, but that will have to wait until he is awake, so he doesn't freak out on me. Mom lays him down and everyone leaves including me. I will give my mate some space and let him

rest. We can talk once he wakes up.
