Chapter 48: Chapter 48

What would he think of that? I couldn’t help it, so I’ve been with it for years, stealing it from his room after he disappeared.

No weirdness though, back then I didn’t know he was my mate, so I used this pillow to console myself from going insane from loneliness and somehow I coped because of it.

I shut my eyes and hugged the pillow even more and I wonder what Jessie will think of me after hearing what I just told her and I hope she doesn’t get mad at me or rather gets disgusted with me, I can’t help it and no matter what she says to me, I’m not leaving Gérard, I want my Alpha.

Let the whole earth collapse. Even if the moon goddess brings me back in another lifetime, Gérard will always be mine and no one else.

Deep down, I don’t actually know what she feels about the whole thing, but she seemed okay with it and isn’t advising me or insisting I leave Gerard alone. She supports me getting together with him, though.

Tears rolled down my cheeks and I could swear he was also thinking of me, too. Why was he being this cold to me?

This is too cruel.

Suddenly, I began coughing so hard, I saw a black smoke come out of nowhere and seeped into my mouth.

I screamed and my heart hurt instantly as I fell to the floor, grunted in agony and throughout the night which felt like hours.

I couldn’t sleep, all over my body burn like hell and my wolf went out of control and roared, my powers leaked out of me and shattered everything around me, the whole place vibrated.

It was like earthquakes and suddenly I flew up, floating on air, blood seeping out of my mouth, the bones in my neck crackled, the pain was torture; it was like a melted hot iron was being poured into my throat; I screamed and gripped my neck to press out whatever was burning me to come out. My legs hung in the air, shaking, and the hairs in my body suddenly turned white. I shook so much with my eyes popping out of my sockets.

Was I going to die at this point?

Carmine’s Pov.

Wolves are animals, wild creatures who love to claim their mates, to give them pups, take over the power and become who they want them to be and create a clan of their own.

I have always wanted to have a mate, have children and love them as much as I can, but fate had other plans and I had no choice but to accept it after going through some difficult phases.

My name is Carmine Daciana. I am the second Alpha son of the Alpha King from the Mackenzie Clan; I guess you know most of my story, so I don’t need to tell much about it.

I’m the jovial type as you can see and I have always craved love, affection and care from my parents which I eventually got but not in the way I hoped it will be, I guess it was because I am the prince and was always supporting Gerard in every way and following him all around because he was a much better leader than I am; he was my role model, which I can never tell him. Just take it as my ego, of course, as an Alpha.

However, he must have had a clue about it, but chose not to tell me to avoid making me feel bad or something. My parents get offended at the so much attention I hand over to Gerard, maybe because I lose focus on certain things and don’t do my stuff.

Anyway, he is my brother and my best friend in the world. I will always love him for the rest of my life like a buddy and be there for him. I know how he is and how much he loves taking care of the people around him and how kind and big of a hero he was to the realms, which is one thing I admire about him.

However, before I dive into my story, let’s start from here.

Gérard and I were born after our parents took over the realms, we became the top two Alphas in the entire realms and anyone who mentioned our name knew who we were and what kind of power we had.

Gérard and I both protected each other against the bad guys, the wolves who were always against our existence, and we fought them and hit them hard.

We were the best of friends, refusing to become friends with the other wolves. It was not like we hated them or anything, we just needed to trust in ourselves.

More like we just couldn’t find someone else, we could confide in but ourselves, so we ended up the way we were without letting Intruders butt into our lives.

And sometimes people wondered how siblings like us could get so close to each other and wished their children were like us and could get along so well.

Actually in the realms, not all siblings get along so well, they mostly fight, go against each other and kill, the hatred and the darkness sets in and more blood spilled all over the place because of how they grow up in the realms and this happens mostly at the poor side of town…

As time went on, my mom got pregnant with Oceana and a few months later, she gave birth to a child. It was a baby girl, and we all celebrated a new alpha being born into the family.

However, to my surprise, Gérard was horrified, went pale at the spot looking at Oceana sleeping in her room.

My mother had named the baby after her sister, because she was born at the side of the Ocean while they were little and my mom’s favourite spot was the ocean. That’s why she loved the name.

“Carmine.’ he whispered with shaky breath.

“What is it, buddy?’ I asked with concern.

Then, and behold, Gerard said it all.

Oceana was his mate, which was quite a doom to failure.

I was quite shocked and surprised at what I just found out and the thought of informing my parents bugged me, yet; I knew the consequences of my actions and what Gerard was going to go through, so I made a huge, lifetime promise not to tell anyone unless Gerard instructed me to do so.’

“Carmine.” He called again, whispered with tears streaming down his cheeks beside her colt, holding her little hand and took a step back away from her.

I stepped forward and hugged him.

He shook his head a million times and said he will never have Oceana as his mate, that he loved her like a sister.

I deeply understood his fears and how much of a horror it was.
