The Couple novel Chapter 11

Christian

“Hey, you alright?”

“But she doesn’t have any relation with werewolves, Bryan checked her background and there is nothing suspicious.”, I don’t know whom I was trying to convince him or me.

“Christian...”

“She can’t be related to them, is she their spy or something?”, I continued.

“Christian….”, he shouted this time.

“Breathe.” he asked me to breathe because I forgot how to. If my past, my pack’s past has brought her here and she will cause the war. If she is wrong in any way, I am going to kill her myself.

This time my wolf agreed even though it was not a satisfying approval as my frightening thoughts are scary even to him.

“I think its time to reread the prophecy.”, he stated, trying to bring me out of trance.

Since, my mind is not very helpful right now. I followed him to my office where I kept the forbidden elders book. Not everyone has the access of these books, only elders or high rank officials of a pack can read these books.

“When our kind will turn against us, threaten us. A unique mate will be born for one of our kind. The mate will be the cause of war but should be saved. The mate might be a threat but will be true. The end will be the new beginning and the couple will become the bridge. Their offspring will rule the world of werewolves and will be a symbol of unity and truth.”

He read it out loud again and trying to interpret each line and its meaning. Well, it was the only thing that could help us.

“Werewolves have mated with each kind witches, werefoxes, werebears and even weretigers. Only humans were left. So, the unique mate has to be a human.”, he stated simply.

“Our kind is against and definitely threatening us. Their actions caused us to lose our alpha and luna.” he is still calling mom and dad alpha and luna. He says ‘they are my alpha and luna and will always be, it is because of them we’re alive.’

I always wonder how much everyone still loves them and has so much respect for them. Will I ever be able to even touch that stature.

Even when Uncle Robert and Aunt Selena took the title of alpha and luna to protect the pack and give them the shelter they wanted, they never considered themselves as one.

“Since your mate will be the cause of war, it is natural that her life is in danger. We will protect our luna with our lives, no doubt.” I know how eagerly the pack is waiting for its luna but now I don’t know if they will accept her like Ethan.

“What I don’t understand is the last line of prophecy, what will be the end and how will it be the beginning?” he frowned. “And how the fuck will you two be the bridge and between what?”

He is trying to understand what the old man was trying to say. It was written hundreds of years ago by a wise werewolf of the royal clan who was alive for more than 200 years. Many believed it as a joke or the old man’s blabbering but many kept it as their treasure and passed it on.

They said it will be the future and The Couple will be helped by Moon Goddess herself when needed. The Couple will be the symbol of peace, harmony, unity and truth.

Ethan is continuously thinking and speaking his thoughts out loud passing them to me. I have nothing in my mind going on, my wolf is silent too.

“Does Mary know about Celia?”, I asked out of the blue and caught him shocked or surprised. I don’t know but he wasn’t expecting me to be so calm. I had a tornado going inside me with the silent outside.

“No, I didn’t tell her yet. I wanted to talk to you first.”

“Tell her.”, I want to know how will everyone react when they will know about my mate, their luna.

“I am tired and want to go to sleep.” I continued. We both know neither of us can sleep tonight with the discovery but he has to go to Mary, she must be waiting for him and I need to rest.

“Do you want to talk to dad or grandpa about it? What about informing the King?”, he asked. I ignored his question and headed to the door.

He put the book in its place and joined me.

We were both silent on our way to rooms but had a lot of thoughts going in our mind and many questions which needed to be answered.

I took a shower in silence which could be cut into pieces with a knife. I headed to bed and kept tossing and turning for about an hour till I got off bed and headed to the kitchen for some water.

On my way, I caught the scent. I remember it very well, I can never forget her scent since I got it for the first time at party. Her sweet scent of vanilla mixed with roses. Damn, it was calming me.

It took me to the happy place where my wolf and I both were relaxed. I wish I could sneak in and sleep cuddling with her. I don’t want to startle her with my presence all of a sudden. I will soon plan our meeting and introduce myself properly.

And apologize for standing her up. It seems like my wolf is still angry for a few things.

I just stood at the door for sometime filling my lungs with her scent.

I am happy my human and wolf personality both are calm till our pack is in danger, and have great bond with each other atleast had till we met our mate.

I went to the kitchen to have some water and made my way to my room when I saw a figure moving around in the dark. Its her, she is coming towards the kitchen. I hope she won’t look for the lights otherwise I have to hide in my own house.

She also came to get some water, I took the advantage of darkness and snuggled close to her. I am standing right behind her with some distance and took a deep breath sniffing her, her sweet smell.

With my werewolf sharp eyesight, my eyes travelled down her body with her night clothes. She looks tempting even in these.

My actions startled her and I moved away to hide. Her smell is still lingering here in the kitchen. Fuck I am hiding from my own mate in my own house.
