Chereads / MY LOST MATE / Chapter 2 - THE BLOOD LINE

Chapter 2 - THE BLOOD LINE

Deep in the woods there was a secret village ,despite how powerful werewolves seem to be they live in hiding, they've being warned by the king that if seen they would be executed and without the power stone no one was willing to risk it . But why I asked,you took out the kings guards in a second and that was just you imagine if everyone one of us fights together we would be unstoppable.

"What is your name miss"

Veronica.

" Now listen,those people are weak and useless but they have a weapon which we don't have, a cursed wolf ,and they use the power stone to control it to tmdo there bidding ,it kills who they want it captures whom they want ,there's nothing we can do but lay low.". That cursed wolf you mentioned is he royal,a king maybe?

" How would we know,and listen we don't know who you are or where you came from I only helped you ,cause you had a strong scent and I couldn't resist so stop ordering us like youre our queen or something"

What if I told u I am !

"Then,I would rip you in half,once our elder rejects it".

Zuri,you're sure I'm one of them right ,are you really sure?

" There's no need to fear ,just be brave and act natural,show them the mark on your arm and you'll be fine".

I met the elder the other guy was talking about, she had a stick in her hand which means she should be 90 or so.

" Of course I'm 90 young lady, old age is a gift from the gods, don't you think so ?, I could sense you're aura a long time ago ,from the moment you entered this forest, now that you are here you will show us the way we will no longer live in hiding and the king will break free from his curse "

Woah,woah,woah, all I was looking for was a pack,you know a brother and sister to call my own not some prophecy listen I don't what you're talking about ma'am but I am not you're leader.

"You're shoulder tells me other wise"

Truly, my arm was sparkling Zuris mark on my arm was getting bigger ,but I was confused how will I a 17yr old lead an entire army I cnt even fight .

" You're not as young as you think you are your highness, but you are right you do need training and for that Lucas will do it perfectly,"

When I turned around I noticed the anger on his face when he was asked to train me ,and I felt something strange too like I could read minds, I think I should be careful around him.

LUCAS POV

All my life I've being training to be the leader,and someone just comes and takes over in a day, where were the gods when I lost my eye trying to protect all these weaklings, I will not accept defeat , I will reclaim what's right fully mine, even it means sending her back to that cave.!

I stood outside reflecting on my life,and all that has happened so far what so far,how I'm I going to lead them, I wish i could speak to someone about my struggles.

"Why don't you speak to me,I am an elder and I also hear from the ancestors of the past, so ask me".

Well,I'm not sure if I'm ready for this,I mean I just lost my mum I couldn't even grief her properly and now all of this ,it's just too much for what do I do,the reason I came here was to have a family you know where you feel safe,and at peace ,and the only place I felt at peace here is the grave Zuri mentioned.

"I understand you're struggles, you know all leaders were not chosen out of there own will but the will of the ancestors,you're father's curse must be broken so he can cross over to the after life,if he remains here we will be under threat,the only way to defeat the enemy is by destroying the power stone.".

Now,I want to try something,when I was hiding in a cave a beast said,"WHO DARES DISTURB THE KING OF THE JUNGLE ", I think the power stone should be somewhere in the palace.

We know that you're highness,but we have being waiting for you're arrival all these while only the royals can see the power stone we have only heard of it "

So Zuri was telling me about my pack,where are they,who are they ,what are they?

"Youre pack has being captured they are in a cave covered with a clocking spell it is impossible to find them ,our home was invaded long ago in the absence of a Beta wolves,and an Alpha pair,we could not stand against the lycans , then the orgeres took over the castle,and we were forced to hide here."

Suddenly,I had a strong feeling we were not alone . Maya get it in the cave tell all the little ones to hide now!, Zuri wake up.

"Well, well, well, we finally caught the bread thief,my nose tells me there's more than one wolf here,and you smell like a hybrid,I hate hybrids "

He was about to attack me with a a crystal,when I jumped and kicked it away from his arm and into the forest,he looked at me with fear in his eyes "you actually saw it ,who are you?"

Then it hit me ,that was the power stone ,I chased after it with all my the closer I got to it the brighter the light on my arm shine,I wondered what it meant,but I still tried to concentrate on the work at hand. I found the power stone ,picked it up but then without warning a bird snatched it from me and flew away. Once they had all gone everyone started coming out of there caves and knelt down ,bowing before me, I knew I had won there trust , but i had lost the stone how do we get it back when im the only one that can see it.

" Actually ,you're pack can see it too so the first step is to set them free "

I smiled with hope the more the merrier.

THE ESCAPE

The plan was simple ,get in the palace using a clocking spell get the prisoners out. Maya our elder covered us with enchantments from the mountain while I and Kyle went in through the front door ,the guards were surprisingly asleep,Kyle on the other hand refused to stick to the plan, instead he tried to attack the leader.

Have you gone mad,is that what where here for?

"That's the cause of all our problems,and right now he can't see us just think, if we get rid of him we will be free"

Alright,let's get them released first and then we attack him alright , he nodded, but things got out hand when the leader sensed our presence.

"Hey whose there, guards, guards".

We were about to run,when I noticed the bird with the power notice the bird with the power stone,I always thought when you were invisible no one could see you but I guess I was wrong, the orgeres hand was coming directly towards me attempting to take me in his hands, but as he was about to take me up a shadow came from no where and took me up,taking the birds cage along with,when I looked back for my partner Kyle he was already on the mountain.

WEAKENED SOUL

At first I was scared that the shadow was taking me to the wrong place ,but he took me to a cave the entrance was covered with grasses making it look abandoned while still in use, he handed over the cage to me and disappered.

Memories of my past life started flooding my mind,the more I looked in the eyes of the bird the more I knew where I was and what had to be done.

"Do you remember me now mistress asked the bird?"

Yes I do Olaf, I stretched my hand towards the entrance of the cave placing my paws on the wall ,the cave doors opened and I saw dozens of prisoners unable to move, they've being tortured for so many years in my absence but now it is time to set them free.

I took the power stone and turned it into a sword, cutting there chains loose, I signalled the elder with the light ,letting her know that it was time for me to come home, she understood and sent a strong wind to drive us there.

I looked at Olaf, and felt sad all these years I've being away no one could come for me but who was that shadow, how did it know I was in trouble, and how did it know Olaf , I did to look deeper in his eyes ,that's the only way to fully recover my memory.

"Oh my goodness,your highness you did it you found the people , come home ,how did you do it Kyle said you've being captured by an evil spirit I was so worried"

I looked at the elder and something tells me that Kyle is not on our side ,he might not even be a wolf.

"That's a pretty strong accusation coming from a lady bug, I don't think you want to make an enemy out of this guy it would be a big mistake"

I am not as weak as I was when I first came here,this power stone can be used to its full potential in my possession you do not want to challenge me,I am your queen and you will now ,I don't care if you like me or not it changes nothing ,now kneel!

"That's very funny I bow to know one not even the elder and you ain't no queen,where were u when the Orgeres came and stole the crystal that was safe guarded for millions of years,you were busy enjoying life as a high school girl, while you're people died"

No ,that's a lie the real question is who gave them the crystal,you always claim to love the people but you where the one who put in danger till today you keep giving them away to those people you were the one who showed where it was.

"But hows that possible only two people can see the crystal,the royals,and the sorcerer and I'm just a wolf I'm not even hybrid or tryhibrid like that cursed king"

That's true only royals can see it, that explains a lot about the mark on your back,I saw it the time you tried to wake the king up I noticed it ,you are a shape shifter you are not one of us now, show us you're real self, i turned the crystal into a mirror and directed the light at him ,his skin peeling from the heat and the burn.

"Oh my gosh what is that ,is he a ghost is his name even Kyle"

There were murmurings all around , everyone get in I yelled, it was a tensed battled in my wolf form and with the power stone I tried to lure the beast away from he caves, I shouted loudly looking at the clouds and suddenly the beast appeared, it came out of its hiding place "WHO DARES DISTURB S THE KING OF THE JUNGLE "

It roared I hid in the bushes while Kylie was eaten and dragged into the his cave. I went back home to the people the elder looked really sad.

" All this time I thought Kyle was a member,I taught him all our secrets I thought he was a protector I never knew that he was the destroyer of the people, now that you are here it is only to begin your coronation ceremony ".
