Andre

“ You’re quite far from home, Alpha prince”.

I chose not to let her know I’m king now.

” How do you know who I am?”

” My kind once dwelled on earth, particularly in your realm”. This further confirmed my suspicion about them being enchantresses. I studied her in silence as she did me same. She was quite youthful looking but her aura hinted at the fact that she is an ancient being, more specifically, she’s nearing her thousands. From her power play earlier when she entered, there is know doubt in my mind that she could actually annihilate me if I don’t tread carefully.

“ look, I didn’t come here to cause any trouble, I just came here to find my mate. I stumbled on an unguarded portal here”.

” The prophecy is true then! Unfortunately for you, I’m going to interfere with the fates, because there is no way I’m letting you anywhere near my daughter”.

Ok now I’m confused.

” What prophecy are you talking about, and why would I want your daughter?”.

she just raised a brow and signaled the other lady I totally forgot about to leave the room.

” Well since you know nothing about it, let me enlighten you. Take a walk with me because you’re in for a lesson in history”

she led the way out and I followed her as she led me through various places of the kingdom.

” Hmm, where to begin. Do you know of white wolves, how the came to be?”

I nodded as she bent down to pick a purple flower someone must have dropped. I know where she’s going with this. The reason why the enchantresses fled my realm after the last war was because they were being forcefully used to breed white wolves. White wolves are only produced if a lycan finds his mate in a werewolf, the offsprings are white wolves and they are more powerful than both Lycans and werewolves. However it was later realized that offsprings from a werewolf or lycan who mated with an enchantress also tend to have white wolves and they are known to be even more powerful, than the regular ones produced by a wolf and lycan who are mates. The battle before was ongoing but escalated into war when the enchanted people realized their women were being kidnapped and raped to produce white wolves, since very little lycans had werewolves for mates. Also without the mate bond, lycans and werewolves can not reproduce.

” If you’re worried about the war it ended some centuries ago and you didn’t answer my question about your daughter”

” You are right and wrong. The war caused by your kind’s greed for white wolves ended but it is not yet over, because Raa’hl lives and has escaped from his prison”.

She waited for her words to sink in. I was quite lost in thought after what she said. Raa’hl was the main instigator of the war before. He worked with the rogues of both lycan and werewolves to execute his plan. He was powerful because he was possessed with a demon soul or so I learnt. But according to history he’s supposed to be dead and not imprisoned. Sensing my sudden confusion, she continued.

” The Demon soul cannot be destroyed. It can only be contained. Raa’hl was just a vessel for it. He was imprisoned instead of killed to keep the demon soul in him. But now he has escaped from his prison in Atlantis. Now here’s the tricky part history never spoke about, Raal’hl’s main goal was to become powerful enough to be able to find Poseidon’s grave for his ultimate weapon, the trident. He was going to use his powerful army made of the white wolves and other powerful creatures he got his hands on to fight and find their way to Poseidon’s grave to retrieve the trident. The war was never really his intention. But your kind and the lycans fought back because he was capturing white wolves including children yet to shift into one. The enchantresses only joined because their people were being forcefully used to breed them as well.”

she sat down under a blue leafed tree with red stem and patted her side in invitation. I sat by her and she continued.

” According to the prophecy known to my people, the seventh King of werewolves is the soulmate of the twelfth keeper of the trident and you Andre, are going to be the seventh Alpha king. Aside my daughter being an enchantress and…werewolf, she is a seer as well. Now Raa’hl needs a seer to take him to the trident. But he wants no ordinary seer, no, he’s looking for the seer who also happens to be the twelfth keeper of the trident and that is none other than my daughter”.

Wow. This is quite more alarming than I thought. Raa’hl is dangerous and will become invincible if he gets his hands on the trident. And If their prophecy really is true, then her daughter is indeed my mate because I am the seventh alpha king, she doesn’t know I’ve ascended the throne though.

“ So earlier on when you mentioned you were going interfere with the fates, did you mean you are going to keep your daughter away from me?, Also, I failed to mention I am no more prince but king”

” King?, let me guess your father is no more because there’s no way you’ll be crowned without your mate. I also meant every word I said earlier on about the fates. I don’t know what silly game your goddess is playing by pairing you to my daughter but I’m going to keep you apart. She’s well protected here. If you take her with you, she’ll become an easy target for Raa’hl, not to mention, you’re going to be her distraction and downfall. Raa’hl will do his best to reach her and I must make sure she is ready then for any attack of any form”.

The glare I sent her way was full of hatred when she spoke of separating me from my mate.

” Well we agree on one thing then, she needs protection if Raa’hl is indeed coming for her.

As someone whom I believe was an active part of the previous war, I was hoping you’d realize your people and this land won’t be enough to stop Raa’hl from getting to her. Perhaps that is why she was paired with me. You are going to need my people on your side if you really want to defeat Raa’hl and who better to get them to fight for her other than their king?”

I could see the gears turning in her head. She knows I’m right. If her daughter is indeed my mate then she’s going to need me and my people on her side.
