Chapter 154

(Aidan)

If people could read what was going on in my mind, they would think I was insane. Seventeen years ago, after I woke up from a week-long coma and found out that Mari was gone, I shifted in my wolf form and became rabid.

We were too young then, especially my mate, but from the day she was born, I knew in my heart that she belonged to me. She may have dozens of guards surrounding her, but I knew I was the one who would take care of her the most. All of my life plans revolved around her.

It was set. I would send her to school and pick her up… that was if Zane and Uncle Creed would concede. I would endure her father and brother’s murderous gazes and meet with her as many times as I could, help her with her homework, and just be there for her.

Zane may be my best friend, but he was ultra protective when it came to his sister. Thankfully, even if Mari was young, the omega in her had already acknowledged me. Her mana started showing up when she was barely a year old. The spells that took the adults years to weave, she was able to do at a very early time. Because of that, Mari was out of control. Her mana was wild and fierce which scared her and made her cry too many times before. She could only tame her own powers when her family was with her or when I was holding her hand. That’s why the Blacks had no choice but to let me near her.

Uncle Creed and Zane would watch me warily as if I would take Mari away each time I was with her and I didn’ t mind. Just simply being with her had brought me something that I had only come to understand after becoming an adult. It was peace. Mari was my serenity. She was the calm to my chaos. She completed me. While other alphas my age asked for expensive toys, for horses, or for a grand vacation each time they would achieve a milestone academically, I only wanted a time with her. I did not recall wanting anything else. Like Zane, I also blamed myself for losing Mari that day, for being unable to protect her from someone we did not even get to see. While Zane locked himself up in his room and nearly killed himself from training extensively, I roamed around in my wolf form, refusing to believe that Mari was dead.

That’s why when I didn’t turn back to being a human again and kept roaming the streets without a specific direction, unintentionally scaring people, the mages had to use a spell. They captured my wolf. They had to compel me and make me forget that Mari and I were mates hoping that it would turn me back to normal, that it would stop my beast from becoming feral.

And it did happen. They succeeded in making me forget Mari but none of them could make me forget the sense of loss and the emptiness that grew bigger within me each year. They failed in that aspect. My parents wanted me to become like any ordinary alphas. I didn’t. I was enraged all the time. And I didn’t know why. I didn’t understand why alphas my age saw the world in bright colors while it was pure darkness to me.

I volunteered to be sent out to the borders where I met Sebastian because I wanted a bloodbath. I wanted to fight. I had so much anger inside me that I wanted to release because I could not breathe. I was suffocated. ‘How are you?’ Uncle Creed once asked me when he paid a visit to the borders and saw me had my first kill at sixteen. He said he had to use his mana to stop me from killing the rogue twice. And I didn’t notice. There was a haze in my head that I didn’t understand.

‘I’m mad. I’m lost. Everything and everyone pisses me off. And please don’t ask me why, uncle. That was my parents’ question to me all these years. I gripped my hair. ‘Because I also don’t know why. I just know that my chest hurts all the time. It’s like I’ve forgotten something. My wolf knows it too. That’s why we’re like this.’ ‘Goddamn it, kid, he whispered and took me in his arms, embracing me like my father did. I’d seen the same reaction from them too many times in the past. I’d seen their helplessness. ‘You’ve been marked.’

‘What?’

‘I didn’t know that my daughter had marked you. I only saw it today. I’m sorry, kid.’

The next thing I knew, Uncle Creed was using a spell

his hands as he ripped my shirt and stared at the three moons surrounding a sun tattoo just above my heart. The tattoo was glowing. I thought I had gotten it during one of my episodes when I tend to do something out of anger and forget about it. I didn’t know it was a bond mark.

‘So, I have a mate? All these I’m experiencing is because of your daughter? Because she’s my mate? And she’s gone?’

Finally, I saw something in his eyes that I could relate to. Madness. Pain. Fury.

‘I don’t fucking buy that crap. They keep saying my daughter is gone. Eli and I believe otherwise. Our kid is too powerful to die. She is a fighter like her parents. She would not die too easily like that. Regina is out there somewhere. And we will not stop until she is back home. Now this mark of yours is another story, son. It’s going to hurt. I need your consent to take this off you. If my mana would not work, I would call Aurelia if I have

‘No!’ I pushed him away. ‘I’m not letting you get rid of the only thing that my mate has left me!’

‘If I don’t do this, you will continue living your life like this, Aidan.’
