Chereads / The Werewolves King's Chosen Mate / Chapter 3 - The Mark Of Destiny

Chapter 3 - The Mark Of Destiny

As the Werewolf King led me through the moonlit forest, my heart raced with a mixture of confusion and trepidation. The night air seemed to thicken with every step we took, and I couldn't help but wonder why he had chosen me, the weakest and most inconspicuous member of the pack.We walked in silence for what felt like an eternity until we reached a secluded glade bathed in the soft glow of the moon. Here, the King finally spoke, his voice carrying a weight I couldn't quite fathom."You may be wondering why I chose you," he began, his eyes locking onto mine. "It's because I see something within you, something that others have overlooked. There is a power within you, waiting to be awakened."I blinked in astonishment, struggling to comprehend his words. "Power? But I can't even shift into my wolf form. How can I possess any power?"A faint smile touched the King's lips as he stepped closer, his presence both commanding and reassuring. "The ability to shift is not the only measure of power among our kind," he explained. "There are other gifts, latent abilities that lie dormant until the right moment. You, my dear, possess one of these gifts."With that, he extended his hand, and I watched in awe as his fingers traced a symbol in the air. It was a complex design that seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly light. Before I could react, the symbol appeared to float toward me, and with a gentle touch, it imprinted itself upon my shoulder.A gasp escaped my lips as I felt a surge of energy unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was as if a dormant part of me had awakened, flooding my senses with newfound strength and purpose. The mark of the Werewolf King glowed softly on my skin, a tangible testament to the bond we now shared."The mark signifies our connection," the King explained. "It is a symbol of your potential, of the power that resides within you. Tonight, under the light of the blue moon, you will discover what you are truly capable of."With his guidance, I began to tap into the latent abilities that had been concealed within me for so long. I could sense the strength coursing through my veins, a feeling of empowerment that left me breathless.As the night wore on, the King and I embarked on a journey of discovery, unlocking the depths of my newfound power. With each passing moment, I felt more connected to him, and the weight of being the pack's outsider slowly began to lift.Little did I know that this night marked the beginning of a remarkable transformation, not just for me but for the entire pack. The choices made under the blue moon's light would set in motion a series of events that would forever alter our destiny.
