Chapter 9

The rustling sound I told you about earlier , well it was not my imagination.

We were talking and laughing throughout the dinner.

But Mason quickly became quiet and told me to shush. If it wasn't for the expression on his face I would have told him off. Then I heard the sound . It was kind of like someone was trying to walk quietly but was failing miserably.

Suddenly Mason's eyes glazed over for a moment, then it came back to the normal eyes I love. But then again it was changing to black .

I am going crazy... that's the only reasonable reason I could find about the things that I am seeing in front of my eyes. Small people .. no not people I think they are dwarves.

I heard a small growl very near me and turned to see who it was and almost had a heart attack to see that Mason was right by my side and was hugging me close to him.

"Goblins. What are you doing here? It's my territory and you have no right in here. " Mason said.

"Well, we wouldn't have crossed your territory "

the one in the middle spoke in a very squeaky voice,

" but when the prophecied lady graces her presence in our midst , we simply thought to introduce ourselves to her."

I didn't understand a single word and by the looks from Mason's face he too didn't.

"What are talking about?"

"Oh! It's wonderful. It seems that her boyfriend doesn't even know about her that much. Alpha your parents were killed,"

I gasped and held Mason's hand tightly.

The goblin continued speaking ,

"But you were the target. There was a prophecy long ago that the boy who is born on the day of the Moon Goddess festival will have the most powerful mate. The powers she will yield were a mystery. She can either bring unity or will turn to be everyone's destruction. Everyone waited for centuries and at last you were born on the Moon Goddess festival. Of course your pack was overjoyed. But it became a huge weakness. "

I looked at Mase and saw his face completely blank. I was worried.

"The other packs were worried if you find your mate others would be executed or punished because no one knew about the powers your mate will possess. Then your pack was under constant attack which your pack often wins and increased their members. Soon they became the largest and most feared pack. So other packs took their aim from you and targeted on your parents. It took time but the finally killed them but by then you were of age and became alpha."

He stopped and looked carefully at others before continuing.

"Then most other packs decided to let things roll their own way and to wait and see how things would come out while others waited for you to find your mate so they could steal her away make theirs. "

At this Mason squeezed my hip so tight , I cried that made Mason snap out of his daze. I looked at him to find his face full of pain.

"So we just came to see her before everyone tears her up while claiming their control over you." The goblin finished with a smile.

He had a creepy smile. It was not a smile , a sneer to be exact.

Suddenly Leo came dashing around the house and beside me. I looked at him confused but he wasn't paying any attention to me but was looking intently at Mason.

"Get out from my territory before I tear you apart." Mason told the goblins in a deadly calm voice.

The goblins left pretty quickly. and then he finally looked at me. The look in his eyes nearly made me fall. So much pain.

Then he turned to Leo," Take her home, I've got to meet Wenda ."

And when he saw me starting to protest, "No. You can't come with me . "

"Why?"

"Because she's a witch."

"Well damn you. I have been patient with you for this entire night . It's my life thats been changing from the moment I've met you. And if you are going to find out more about what the hells happening here I have every right to come with you. And no, you are not going to stop me by saying the bloody excuse that its for my own good. It concerns you too and I will be there right by your side because I am your mate. "

I couldn't get another word out of my mouth cause he hugged me like I was his oxygen and if he don't hug me he'll fall apart. I didn't hesitate I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him back with all my might. If only I could make him understand how much I like him even if its the mate bond.

"I don't want to lose you too." He whispered in my ear.

My heart broke for the man in front of me.

"You are stuck with me . You will not get rid of me that easily." I said back to him with a little smile.

I could feel his chest vibrating with silent laughter and he said in a really low voice,

"I don't intend to get rid of you till the last breath of my life."

Well then on we move.

Next stop Wenda.
