Andre

”Andre I’m still keeping you apart. She needs to be more focused on her training, her life depends on it, in fact, everyone’s life depends on it, we can’t let Raa’hl get to the weapon, besides it’s the only weapon that could be used to destroy Raa’hl”

I wonder why she didn’t say it before. She continued before I could ask her anything.

” The reason why it has not been used to fight Raa’hl before was because no one could wield the weapon except the chosen one. The prophecy also mentioned that the twelfth keeper is meant to wield it. We are not sure why or how, or if it’s even true. This is why I need you to stay out of her life, I need to get her ready for everything before telling her the truth about the prophecy”

As of now, I know not what to do. She is hell bent on keeping us apart, aside the fact that I’m alone in her realm and outnumbered, I may not even get to see my mate. She knows I won’t fight her because she’s too powerful for me, so much that I could feel the ripples of power accompanying her every breath and I’m yet to grow into my full potential as a hybrid werewolf since the other part of me lays dormant. For now, I’m merely a royal werewolf with no way of defeating an ancient being like her.

” At least let me get a glimpse of her please. Perhaps you might be wrong and I might not even be her mate and if I happen to be, well….l just need to see her, it’ll calm me to know that she is safe for now”.

She sits silently contemplating what I said. Her eyes are a bit softer as she looks at me before shaking her head and looking away.

” Look, I’m not a heartless person, well I am if I have to be and this situation demands that I be. I’m a mother Andre, please understand I’m just trying to make sure she gets out of this alive, perhaps when all is done, I’ll step aside for you two to be together. I….have a mate as well and I understand how devastating it must be for you, but please bear with me. I’ll allow you to see her, but from a distance.”

”you are your best when you’re with your mate, heck there’s even a boost in strength, you know that, you must have experienced it with her father, who I believe is your mate. Keeping her away from me won’t do no good. I understand your reasoning but….well you know how to find me when the time comes. Please take me to see her”.

She might be stronger and more powerful than I am, but I know she won’t kill me, because her daughter will be affected and she needs to be in peak condition. Killing me will weaken her and possibly kill her wolf but she will live since she doesn’t really know me and we haven’t mated. I plan to use this knowledge to my advantage when she takes me to see her.

“ Don’t try anything when I get you within decent distance to watch her. As much as I’d like to probe your mind, I would not risk testing your telekinesis. I can feel how strong it is, however it won’t be enough to save you from my wrath, so…behave.

________________

I'm seated with my apparent mate’s mother who I now know is the queen. We’re in the gazebo waiting for heaven knows what.

“ I just realized I don’t know your name”.

She looks at me with a smirk.

” Alana McGregor”.

My mouth was left hanging open, because the Alana McGregor I learnt from the history of the supernaturals was described as a battle goddess and was a key instrument in the last war, had it not been for her, Raa’hl couldn’t have been killed or captured as she said earlier.

” Wait, if you are the battle goddess from before, why can’t you capture him again or something?”.

” He would be way stronger than before now that he has escaped, he’s a being from the underworld, they consume souls to get stronger when they’re here and trust me when I tell you that in peak condition, he’s almost invincible, I only got lucky because he was still struggling to ease into the vessel, the soul of the true Raa’hl was fighting the demon soul and despite consuming some souls, he was not in complete control of the vessel which left him disadvantaged. That was the only thing that allowed me to capture him, I was nearly dead by time I managed to bind him. Later, more powerful creatures also came to him and bound him how they new best and now he’s back again. And from my sources, he’s fully in control, I fulfilled my destiny at the time, to capture him, but it was not my destiny to destroy him. Anyways… there’s an illusion in place to make it difficult for the uninvited to penetrate the castle. It’s one of the castle’s defenses. So I’ll clear it up for you to see, just look ahead”.

I sat in silence as she cleared the illusion. I gazed upon a massive castle built with ice a few feet away. It was beautiful. How did they even manage to build and make it stand while the sun shines. This kingdom is enchanted indeed. I spot someone in a beautiful flower garden in front of the castle. As she turns to face our direction, my breath was blown away. The dark haired beauty, completely oblivious of our watchful gaze was busy plucking and smelling the flowers of her choice. My gosh! How can someone be this gorgeous. There are no words that could do her beauty justice! She is a sight to behold. Her face lights up more as a sexy smile makes its way on her face as she waves someone and I almost come undone just imagining her gifting me with that smile instead. Her full and pouty red lips, her well endowed chest and hour glass figure is just mouth watering. I couldn’t hold back anymore and came undone when she turned her backside to us once more and wiggled her large sized ass unconsciously when she stood. My wolf almost took over in my moment of weakness to run to her and claim her immediately. The prophecy is true, she is my mate. Ignoring her mother who scoffed at the scent of my arousal, I teleported right in front of her and hugged her.

”Mate”. We both said at the same time as she hugged me just as tight after realizing who I am to her. Pulling away, she looked at me in disbelief. I can’t leave her, no I can’t. I have to find a way to strengthen our now growing bond so she can find me even if her mom kicks me out. The only way to do this will be to mark her. This is quite an intimate process because I would be able to swim true some part of her memories and it will unlock all her hidden abilities, her strength will be increased as well and the best part, I’ll be able to feel her wherever she goes. Although it is done after we get to know and trust each other, I can’t afford to let someone else claim her. I distract her with a kiss, she easily opens up and quickly without warning, I plunge my now elongated fangs into the base of her neck, ignoring the frantic scream of her mother as we both moaned in pleasure so great both our legs shook and we knelt down. What I realized later made me furious! Someone had put some form of mental blocks on her mind and a huge part of herself, including her wolf and other abilities were being suppressed. I could already feel the baleful aura behind it and I know immediately this had started when she was a child, yet somehow, her power kept growing but was simply out of reach to her, even her wolf had been so suppressed to the extent where she could not properly feel the connection. Using my telepathic abilities. I freed her but was not expecting the burst of power that billowed out of her in strong waves, both her mother and I were blown away, I suffered the most impact since I was closest to her. My head was pounding, blood flowed from my ears, nose and mouth. I looked so battered and felt worse. I vaguely heard Alana shouting ‘what have you done?’ Before I was sucked into a dark abyss.
