Chapter 10

Mason's POV:

I am one lucky man . Anyway last night Ella really had taken my heart. I really believed that she will try to run to the forest when I said I was a wolf, she was shocked but she remained there. Even after she heard about the absurd so called prophecy, even when I told her to go , she remained. That's what makes her special to me and many other factors too.

Anyway I think that even she told me she was going to stay by side to figure out this together, she told me drop her at her apartment. I told her that it would be more safe if she was with me but no, she was adamant. So I dropped her and made sure she entered her apartment. Then I drove back to the pack house. I called for one of the elder members in my council, I know I am the alpha but I take major decisions about my pack after discussing it with older wolves who have more experience and knowledge than me. Yeah I am not the self obsessed alpha wolf so what , I care for my pack more than my ego.

"You called for me Alpha Mason?"

I looked around and saw Howard, one of the members of the council from when my father was alpha. I didn't want to beat around the bush ,

"What do you know about the prophecy?"

He didn't even show any kind of recognition but his eyes...his pupils dilated . I know for a fact that the pupils dilate suddenly if you feel fear, there are other reasons but here it is because of fear.

"What do you mean Alpha?"

"Don't play around anymore. You should have told me earlier. It was a matter of the utmost concern if there was a prophecy about my mate. Because of your negligence I put my mate in danger."

"So it is true that you found your mate."

That earned him a glare from my part.

"Well did you guys think I wouldn't meet my mate? or rather hoping that I wouldn't meet to avoid a disaster?"

My anger was rising and old or not if he doesn't give me a proper answer he can stay in the dungeons forever.

"No! How can you even think about us not wanting a Luna? I just thought that it was just another rumour about you. But if you really met your mate, I am happy for you. Your parents would have been proud. They are proud of you."

He came and hugged me. He was the Beta when my dad was the Alpha so he was like my father's best friend. he released me and stepped back , then said,

"Well since you have met your mate then there is no beating around the bush so i'm going straight to the point."

"That's good. Elaborate please."

"Alright I don't know how much you know about the prophecy but I will say it all. It was long ago when the wolves used to fight and kill other packs for fun that the Moon Goddess appeared, yeah Mason she appeared before us to give this prophecy."

Well you can't really blame for looking so shocked , the Moon Goddess herself gave this prophecy. Damn it must be important. Howard continued,

"It is said that she told that a son will be born to an alpha on my day. He will find his Mate when he is ready. But his mate will be strong and have powers that will make the tyrants of that time bow before her . She will also be the reason that werewolves will have a good connection with humans. But there are dangers cause his mate will be a human and she will not be able to awake her powers inside her before meeting her mate. This is the gust of the prophecy . Many packs interpreted it in their own way until you were born on the day of the Moon Goddess' festival. Different packs approached different ways while the news of your birth travelled around the wolves. Some packs came bearing gifts and made alliance with our pack while many others marked as their enemies. Your parents were killed by one of this enemy pack."

My eyes were filling with tears but I did not want Howard to see me as a weak Alpha so I turned around looking out of my window . After I gained my control of my emotions I asked ,

"Why would they kill them? I didn't even meet my mate back then."

"Do you possibly think that was the first attack we faced after you were born Mason? N0 it wasn't the first time. But it was the first time that your parents were alone and they struck them while we couldn't reach there in time . Yeah it was covered as a accident but it really wasn't. That's all I know. "

I dismissed him with a wave of my hand. I couldn't believe it. My parents died because of me. They would have lived if it weren't for me. My sister would have had her parents when she was growing if it weren't for me. I was the curse.

I entered my bedroom and fell into my bed . I had only one thought before sleep welcomed me with open arms and that was to stay away from Ella and trying to find a way around this damned prophecy even if it was made by Moon Goddess. Ella , the one thing that me finally happy should be kept safe before I dragged her down with my problems. And to go to Wenda without her. I am not going to expose her to anyone.

I think.... I ought to reject her to keep her safe even if it kills me. That's the only way. She can get rid of this terrible fate and live a normal life.
