Chapter 69: Chapter 69

It is invisible to other people and I am the only one who can see it with my third eye above my head once I look at my neck in a mirror.

No one can see what I see. Only I, an Alpha, see and notice all these things.

It was said that only my fated mate could see it.

Only then will I know she is the one for me, but I will be her love, failure, and doom.

I will be her death instead of giving her peace and happiness.

I was told by a priest years ago. I could also sense it from the wolf’s stone.

“Gerard, what’s that on your neck?’

I froze. In a daze, I touched my neck and turned to an eight years old Oceana asking me a question with such an innocent look.

‘What did you see in there, love?’ I asked, getting close to her as I held her shoulders.

“Writings. Written in Arabic, Gerard.’ her blue eyes glowed. “It means “Curse” Gerard. Why will you have that on your neck? Isn’t it a bad omen, Gerard?’

What a cute child.

My eyes welled up as I hugged her and kissed her forehead.

“Don’t say a word. Don’t tell anyone what you just saw my love, okay?’

She agreed. “Alright, Gerard.’

“I love you.’ I uttered with so much love in my voice.

Because of how uncontrollable I was, I left the clan.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.

My birth pack was a place of heaven and named the BaRoque Pack.

It signifies how peaceful and fair we were with everyone.

Warm weather.

I lived in paradise, a place where there is no fight and spilling of blood.

I grew up in a household with my family, full of love and harmony.

My biological father is the leader of the pack. He loved my mother so much.

We were his treasures and the most valuable diamonds in his life, like he claimed we were to him.

I was the firstborn Alpha in the family, an heir to the pack.

I have two brothers and a younger sister. We were a family of six, adding my father’s families will make about fifty of us.

We lived life to the fullest.

However, on a fateful day, we were attacked by thousands of wolves from another pack. This was the day our lives changed forever.

We lost the war and most of my family and the people of the clan lost their lives.

The air carried the scent of death, with blood saturating every inch.

The sky turned red and all I could see before me was fire and blood.

Wolves screaming in agony were being torn apart. They scattered their organs all over the battlefield.

I was covered in blood, bruises were all over my body because I got mixed into the war, fighting to live, but I couldn’t locate my siblings, so I kept looking for them.

Until I bumped into a certain Alpha’s back, he turned and glared at me with his red eyes. He was holding my father’s neck with his claws.

“Please spare my son, Alpha King.’

Alpha King.

“He has nothing to do with this. Please spare his life.’

“Father.’ I yelled.

The Alpha King laughed and threw my father to the ground and kicked his stomach.

“FATHER.’ I limped towards him with one leg as I panicked.

While wiping out his people, the wolves paralyzed my other leg and stung it with their claws.

“Son, don’t come here. Just stay where you are, okay?

“Please don’t hurt my father. He’s innocent, please.’ I begged innocently.

Who was this monster?

The Alpha came to me at a fast speed and grabbed my neck.

I choked on my breath. So, he was the one who attacked our pack.

“You said you will give me anything to create peace, right? You will give me the wolf stone, but I need something along with it.’

My father coughed blood as he spoke. What did this beast do to my father?

“What do you want from me, Alpha King, so you can stop attacking my people? You know we can’t win against you. Most of us are dying already. Please leave us alone. We will never attack your pack with the wolf stone. It’s against our rules and the moon goddess. That’s why I gave it to you, so you can go now. Please leave my family out of this,’ my father begged with tears in his eyes.

“You will never attack me with the wolf stone, but you can call on other clans to attack my realm. You can gather ten thousands of wolves to attack us and I don’t want to put my family at risk either.” He stated as he tightened his grip on my neck. Neck.

I gasped and weakly held his hand.

“PLEASE LEAVE MY SON, PLEASE.”

“Why are you panicking? You can always give birth to another alpha. You can produce thousands of offspring.’

“Please, Alpha King.’

The Alpha King scoffed. ‘The more you beg, the more I want to snap off your neck, Alpha of the BaRoque Pack.’

“Please, I don’t care if you kill me, but please don’t harm my son. He knows nothing to do with any of this.’

“Of course he does,’ he smirked.

I gasped, almost blacking out when he released me.

I fell to the ground and dislocated my arm and coughed terribly.

“Ahhhh.’ I cried out.

Why was he hurting my father?

“I don’t trust you one bit because your son is a powerful Alpha, and that’s why you are protecting him by all means. You know how alarming his power is. Even wolves from the other clans will want to claim him as soon as possible once they find out his real identity. So, I choose to claim him first.’

“What are you talking about, Alpha King?!’

“Don’t act like a fool to me. If you so badly want peace in your pack. Give me the wolf stone and the werewolf who controls it.’

My Father’s eyes widened.

“Oh, you think I don’t know that it’s only one wolf in the entire world that can protect and control the wolf stone? Which means he processes the power in himself as well. I also heard that such a wolf, an alpha, can’t have a mate. Even if he is destined for a wolf, she will die along with him before they even go further in their relationship. Which means he is only destined to have great power but can never have love and happiness in his life. Yet, if he tries to go against the moon goddess’s command, she will kill his mate. Even though she is the one that gave him the power. Your son here is cursed. What a game.” He hissed and tickled his tongue. “What a terrible fate for your precious son, Diego.’
