Chapter 39
Xander's
POV.
I hurried out of the room because I couldn't control myself anymore, I was already acting so stupid and needs to find a place to calm down and think thoroughly, my breathing was so fast and unsteady, I was feeling the thudding of my heart increase it's the pace like it was on a race.
I got into a reserved room and dashed In, plopping on the bed heavily, I buried my face into my palm gasping heavily as I tried catching my breath.
Furthermore, I gulped and lay flat on the bed gazing up to the ceiling, my eyebrows narrowed as I recalled she mentioned the Blood Moon Pack and also the power to rule the universe,
What struck me most was the fact that she knew about the ancient magic to rule the universe, this had been a secret which I had found and kept hidden, my quest for powers made me find the forbidden book which detailed out how to attain great dark magic to rule the whole universe.
I had found it in the tomb of Lucifer and after reading a few pages, I got to realize it was an evil book, I was 15 years old then, I realized that one has to sell their soul to Lucifer and also do a lot of evil to get those powers, so I never cared to read further because the more one reads it, the more the heart demon from the book gets one obsessed for powers...
I had buried the book and ran back home and some weeks later, I returned to the tomb with a lighter which I used to burn it up, I was glad no one got hold of the book, it gives the power to rule the universe but at the same time turn a Werewolf into Lucifer on earth that would control the mind of everyone thereby being the ruler of all.
I felt shivers run through me as it dawned on me that Dracula must have read some part of the book, but then I couldn't understand if it was related to Lena, which made him want her dead so much,
I had asked Lena about her pack name and was stunned to hear her call my pack hers.
"She must be joking...she must be lying, I can't believe she is from my pack, we can't be in the same pack while she lamented on it being wiped away..." I breathed and buried my face into my palm as tears trickled my eyes.
She had mentioned her entire pack being killed and now when I asked her the name of her pack, she had called the same pack I found out to be mine, the Witch doctor's words had come to pass, if Lena was saying the truth, then I have become a big failure and disappointment.
Out of curiosity, I had roamed around searching for a Witch doctor who would find out my past and who I was, for years, I secretly searched for the witch and finally found one, she did a lot of ancient magic before she was able to see a bit of my past.
She told me the name of my pack and ordered me to search for it and protect them from a massacre about to happen, she told me the reason the memories of my past life were sealed, it was to protect me, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack won't want me to find my way and return to the Pack after sending me off,
They feared ever losing me as I was to be the one to take revenge for them against their enemy when I grow, Xavier was to be my guardian who would train me far away from the Blood Moon Pack,
I couldn't understand a bit of what she was saying as it was all like tons of gibberish not until today, someone has mentioned the same Pack to my ear, the most shocking part was that she said it has been wiped away,
Words can't explain how terrible I felt, it was like a huge burden of pain graved into my heart, I couldn't tell anything about my past as I lost my memories but then, I could notice how deeply pained I became on hearing my pack were all killed.
I find it so hard to believe Lena was saying the truth, if she wasn't lying, then I don't think I can ever forgive myself for letting my Pack go into extinction like that.
Xavier my guardian and foster father knows nothing about all the information I got from the past, he is also ignorant of his pack, I had kept all this away from him, now all I crave was to take revenge!
Just then, I heard a knock on the door, making me sit up from the bed in a rush,
I was late for school already, and It was all Lena's fault, she overslept, but then, I couldn't tell why I left her to sleep as long as she wants. I couldn't tell until now why I was bent on going to school together with her, I should have left for school while she comes over after she is done, the most stunning part was that I was never angry at her.
It was clear as much as I want to ignore it that my love for her was blooming so faster than I ever thought, I kept repeating to myself that she was a weak wolf who I should hate, but it was all useless, my hatred for her was sapping away at each glance at her while my heart kept melting at her smile.
I had never said it aloud but deep in my heart, I admire her beauty so much, looking at her face makes me feel so glad she was my mate, I was so glad to bring her to the Red moon Pack, after yelling at her last night, I couldn't return to the room because I knew I was going to expose my feelings if I ever watch her cry, Her tears weaken me.
"Xander, are you there?" I heard her tiny but sweet voice from the door and my heart really skipped a beat.
"What is it?...how did you even now I was here?" I asked with a smile but gruff voice, I was glad she wasn't seeing my smile, I was just kind of happy she came looking for me and hearing her voice was making me feel different,
The most painful moment this morning was watching my father hit her, I felt the great urge to fight him for hurting my mate, but I knew better than letting him know Lena is my mate,
I was ready to hide it forever because If he finds out, Lena's life would be in danger, he would do everything possible to kill her as he hated the word "mate" he would be disappointed in me as I allowed myself to be weakened by mate bond and love.
I don't know how it all happened but now, I'm in love with Lena and I can't deny it, I was feeling all the sensations and shivers at her touch, I badly want to kiss her deep and mark her as mine but then, how was I going to do all that? Furthermore, I am not like every other Werewolf, I'm not meant to have a mate.
"Xander, please talk to me..." She mumbled, and my smile turned to a grin as I stood up and head to the door, I placed my hand on the knob and pushed away the smiles, replacing it with a stern look.
"What is it?" I asked without smiling, but then my eyes went through her whole body from her face down to her toe, it left me gasping silently, the school uniform fitted her so well, and she curled her blonde hair leaving it resting down her back.
"I'm done" she replied, and I looked straight at her face which was no different from that of an angel, I never fall for beauty, but I could swear she was enchanting especially when she smiled, it was angelic.
"Remember, we are not mated, you know what I mean?..in front of the students, never call me your mate, this time, tell them you are my slave!" I huffed and she smiled, making me frown.
"Why are you smiling?..it isn't amusing, I'll be treating you like a slave, which means I can hit you as I like!" I growled and deep in me, I knew I was only bluffing.
"Yes sir, at least you saved my life, so I'm indebted to you" she muttered and bowed at me,
"Let's go..." I shrugged and walked out of the room, locking it.
"My back still hurts from your kick, you really hit me hard, even when I knew it was to make your father believe you hate me..." She mumbled with a little beam of smiles.
I gulped and stared at her in shock.
"You thought I was all pretending to hate you in front of my father?" I questioned and she shrugged, walking away immediately.
She just snubbed my question, and my foolish heart couldn't get angry at her? I flashed my glance around and could see the maids staring at Lena as they do their cleaning, their eyes showed it all, they were wondering who she was to go scot-free after shrugging my words. I exhaled heavily and rushed downstairs, my pace was faster as I knew dad might be in the sitting room,
"Xander, what is wrong with you?!" I yelled at myself with a smack on my head as I hurried down the stairs, dad wasn't in the sitting room and I had been rushing to protect her like a lover boy...
When did I turn to that!..? I am still the ruthless Alpha Prince who kills without restrain.
"Xander, let's go faster, we are missing many lessons!" She whined and took my hand, dragging me out while I stare at her.
I had no strength to draw away my hand, that was what I should do and even slap her hard for touching me but none of that happened, instead, I felt the soothing sensation that kept reminding me that she is my mate.
The Royal guards and cleaners all stood transfixed, mopping, the door of my car was opened by my driver and Lena hopped in while I followed.
"I feel protected around you, being your mate must be a blessing!" She whispered to me with a crazy smile that made me sneer at her.
"I won't protect you if you are attacked, stop overthinking, I'm just repaying your favors!" I scoffed, looking away to the window.
"But why did you act strange at the mention of my pack, do you know anything about them?" She asked with her tone meek and emotional.
"You have no right to question me!" I hissed, shutting my eyes as I leaned my head in the headrest.
"I have found the killer of my pack and family, but It hurts my heart to find out I can't do anything, I'm so weak, how would I revenge the massacre!" She mumbled with teary eyes, resting her head on my shoulder. "If anyone finds out we are mates, I'll reject and kill you." I warned without looking at her.
"You can't kill me or reject me..." She repeated with a smile and I growled in my heart, knowing full well that she was right.
