Chapter 68: Chapter 68

“I can see you are trying to ruin my daughter’s life so you can take over the realms because people are cheering to see you as the heir to the throne. Those words are getting into your head and you are trying to ruin my children’s life.’

You make me laugh, Luna.’ I ruffled through my hair. “Luna, I have no such intentions on your throne, neither do I want to be an heir to something that isn’t mine. We all know Oceana is next in line because Carmine isn’t interested in ruling. He wants to be free. Same as me. I don’t want to be all locked up all day in this suffocating place. Release her now.’

“I will not do that, Gerard.’

I flared up and walked out on her and dashed towards Oceana’s room, barged into the room and saw her leg tied to a chain.

I bent down and used my claws as it glowed green, breaking the chains apart.

“Gerard, love.’ Oceana cried and hugged me.

I hugged her too and carried her up from the floor.

‘You are not leaving her, aren’t you?’ Luna yelled. “Let her go at this instant.’

‘Then release her from the room or else I would take her far away from here and you will never see her again.’ I threatened with fury.

“Are you threatening me?’

“She’s not an animal to be locked up in a cage, so let her go at this instant.’

“Oceana, come here.’ Luna shouted with a command, but Oceana wrapped her hands around my neck even more and hid her face in my neck, frightened by her mother’s presence.

“The next time you lock her up again, I will tell the world about you. I will tell everyone who I truly am, so leave her alone. Any pain or abuse you inflict on her, I feel everything. I sense it and it hurts me to the bone to see you threaten her. If such a thing ever happens again while I am out there fighting for my life, I will do something drastic to you, Luna. Do not touch Oceana, she’s your daughter as well.’

I held my mate properly and walked out on her with Oceana in my arms.

I dropped her down on my bed as soon as I got to my room and shut the door.

“How are you, Oceana?’

“I’m fine, Gerard, but my legs hurt.’ she teary pointed at the red scar on her leg.

I carried her leg and massaged it. I looked at her again.

“Does it hurt, Love?’

“A little.’ she replied and laid her head on my arm. “Your scent feels so good, Gerard.’ she yawned and fell asleep.

I then sucked in my pheromones since she had slept already.

Seeing her sleeping soundly on my arm makes me want to mark and claim her this instant.

Why wouldn’t she just grow up quickly? Why was time so slow? Fuck, I want her so much.

Fuck, I was hard.

I shouldn’t have talked to Oceana’s mother in such a manner, but I can’t stand it when something happens to Oceana. I can take anything else but not Oceana being beaten or imprisoned. I can’t see my mate suffer. It hurts me and I know I will get tortured tonight by the Alpha King. Yet, I don’t care if he flogs me with chains and all that. All I want is Oceana to be safe.

I carried her up and laid her down on my bed properly and kissed her on her soft, plump pink lips.

But why do I feel a slight anger towards Oceana?

I was going out of control, slowly shapeshifting into my wolf’s form, then the door opened.

“Gerard “

I realised myself and slouched back into my human form.

“You know you can’t be doing this, Gerard. You’ve got to control yourself.” Carmine scolded.

‘I wanna claim her so badly. Put my mark on her to push all Alphas away from her.’

“Is that why you are always surrounding her with your scent, to tell them to stay off her?’

“Yeah.’ I agreed.

‘Don’t you think it’s a bit too much?

“It is not for me.’

“It will be when it becomes obvious.’

I felt a sharp pain in my chest, my breath seized for a second.

I rushed to Oceana and hugged her so tightly.

I was slowly shifting into my wolf form. I was getting into my rut; the pain was becoming unbearable; I roared, holding Oceana so tightly to my chest.

Carmine ran and shut off the windows and doors to prevent anyone from getting in.

“Gerard, are you okay?’ he panicked.

I spilled blood out of my mouth, still holding Oceana.

“Leave my mate alone.’ I spoke in wolf speak and pushed Carmine with my blue powers away from me.

I lost myself. My wolf was taking over me, taking control of my body because of our mate.

“Gerard, you need to calm down. You can’t mark Oceana, she’s only eight years old. Wait for a while before you…”

“Don’t you dare get close to my mate. I don’t care if she is going to die soon. I want her. Do you have any idea how long I have waited for hundreds of years to be with her? Who the hell are you to stop me?’ I yelled at him.

No! No! This isn’t me. I wouldn’t speak to Carmine like that. My wolf is the one speaking to me.

Stop! Stop talking. I screamed.

“Gerard. What’s wrong with you?’

“Leave here and stop trying to take Oceana away from me. Just stop talking to her and pushing away from me. She is my mate and I don’t care if she has a lot to do. I can mark her as much as I want. I can even tear her limbs apart one by one and hang her head up on a platter.’ I laughed hysterically and grinned wickedly.

No, Carmine, please don’t listen to him.

“Gerard.’

“I will make sure she suffers for the evil deeds of her father. I’m not letting anyone take her away from me. Do you know how she was born, the moon goddess be damned? I don’t care who you are.”

“You are not Gérard are you?’

“Who cares if I’m Gerard or not? I’m his doom. You must have a death wish to ask me such questions. Die, you Alpha of a bastard.’

Carmine shifted and lunged at me, pushing me to the ground by releasing Oceana as he gritted his teeth.

“I would not let you take over him and harm Oceana. Do you understand, Enric.’ Carmine roared in wolf speak.

The dark hidden side of my wolf hates Oceana and his name was Enric.

I am an Alpha with a curse written in a strange language at the back of my neck.

And only my wolf understands it.
