Andre

YEARS EARLIER

I’ve searched so long for my mate, nearly a century long. Usually werewolves are able to recognize and find their mate after they have shifted at around age 16 or later. Royal werewolves, like myself shift way earlier. I shifted at 10 but had to reach maturity to be able to recognize my mate should I meet her. I however, Have been searching for mine since I turned 20. I searched every nook and cranny of this realm but to no avail. After accepting she might not yet be born. I waited. Since I’ve reached maturity, I’d be able to sense when she's born. I drew this conclusion since I wasn’t feeling any pull directing me to any particular place too look out for. Fifty years later, I was proven right as I felt the moment she was born. I had to begin journeying to other realms because I couldn’t feel her in mine. I began with the humans but all I got when I landed in their realm was repulsion and the pull tugging at my heart letting me know I am drifting far from her. I left immediately. I began visiting various realms and dimensions including Olympus and Tikar where werewolves don’t have the best reputation and I faced the most difficulties when there. I still couldn’t find her, I however, felt closer to her in Tikar yet she was not in that realm. I followed the pull to a portal just on the outskirts of Tikar. It was unguarded and I decided to go through despite the warning bells sounding in my head.

————————————

I certainly didn’t regret entering the portal because I landed in one of the most beautiful places ever. It was very colorful, and like most realms, very different from what I was used to. For instance, the sun was bright orange and the clouds was more cream than white, the trees weren’t the stereotypical brownish trunked and green leafed ones I was used to, instead it came in all manner of colors. The creatures here were mostly human looking which I knew they were not because their aura spoke volumes of how powerful they are. The whole atmosphere was charged with an electrifying feel to it. Whoever these people are, they are certainly powerful. Another thing is their beauty. As supernaturals beauty should be something I should get used to but this was a whole new level stupefying beauty. The beauty of the people was distinct and has an enchanting effect to it. It was the luring type. It was irresistible and it took a lot of control not to fall for the whims of their beauty, I realized it is a type of luring power distinct to them alone. As I continued to study them from the shadows, I realized there are few other races of supernaturals among them but they are slaves and servants of sorts. I was so caught up in my thoughts, I didn’t pick up the scent nor hear the footsteps that trailed carefully behind me until my pursuer got close enough and struck me just as I was turning around to acknowledge them. I fell from the force behind the hit but that wasn’t enough to knock me out, my vision was slightly blurred but I picked up whispers of some sort and was able to make about 3 gorgeous women hovering above my form and immediately after I was forcefully put to a comatose state but could still hear what went on around me.

When I managed to gain control of my body, I realized I had been tied up with silver chains. I guess they picked up on the fact that I am a werewolf but they definitely don’t know that I’m a royal and hence the silver chains won’t weaken me like it does to regular wolves.

Before I could break the shackles, I heard footsteps and decided against it, waiting to use the element of surprise to my advantage. One of the gorgeous women who caught me earlier appeared in my line of vision.

”Oh you’re awake, good. Now who are you and what is your business here, In fact, how did you get here?, who helped you?”. She asked haughtily.

so many questions in one go.

As gorgeous as she is, I’m not used to people talking to me with such arrogance and disrespect. As much as I wanted to insult her, I couldn’t come up with much, her appearance was just perfect! Everything about her physical appearance was perfect.

” How about you shut that pretty mouth of yours and untie me, then we can be civil”.

honestly I was was quite annoyed.

” I will do no such thing, you will answer my questions and will-“ She didn’t finish her sentence as I broke free and held her up by her throat. She tried to burn me with flames that suddenly appeared in her palms but it wasn’t strong enough to cause me severe damage, probably because she couldn’t breathe with my hold on her. This means her people drew on the power of natural elements and hers was fire, against my better judgment, I let her go and the moment she caught her breath, her eyes glowed an electric blue just as I felt a push on my mind and felt powerful telepathic waves as she spoke with an enchanting voice, trying to get to my mind and control me. I created a false illusion of my mind making her think she actually got to me and her next words had me amused.

” Tie yourself to the chair”.

It was quite amusing but I did feel a push telepathically trying to get me to do her bidding and this gave me an inkling of who her people truly are. They must be enchantresses and this should be the enchanted kingdom.

“ Nice try”.

I said as I took squeezed her throat once again.

” I am no ordinary wolf, my dear, it’s going to take a more powerful version of your kind to get to mind.”

”Powerful indeed”.

The room was filled with a much more powerful aura as another woman entered my line of vision. Calling her beauty stupefying would be an understatement. Gods above I pray I find my mate among these people.

” Welcome Andre”

How the fuck! does she know my name.
