As the night wore on, Kaiden and Aiden found themselves lost in each other's eyes. They had shared their passionate first kiss, and the chemistry between them was undeniable. As they reluctantly bid each other good night, Kaiden couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness.
"I'll talk to you soon," Kaiden whispered, his lips brushing against Aiden's ear.
"I'm looking forward to it," Aiden replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
As they parted ways, the rest of the packs began to disperse. The Silvermist pack, led by Alpha Thane, bid the Blackwood pack farewell and began their journey back home.
Kaiden walked alongside Alpha Thane, his mind still reeling from the events of the night.
"Alpha Thane, can I talk to you for a moment?" Kaiden asked, his voice low and serious.
Alpha Thane nodded, his expression curious. "Of course, Kaiden. What is it,? am listening."
Kaiden hesitated for a moment before speaking. " It's about Aiden ,I was wondering if it would be okay if I keep in touch with him ," he said, his eyes locked on Alpha Thane's.
Alpha Thane's expression changed, a hint of surprise and curiosity flickering across his face. "Why do you want to keep in touch with Aiden?" he asked, his voice neutral.
Kaiden took another deep breath, his heart pounding in his chest. "I feel a connection to him," he explained, his voice sincere. "I know it sounds crazy, but I feel like Aiden is someone special to me . I'd like to get to know him better, to figure out what this connection means."
Alpha Thane's expression softened, a hint of curiosity and understanding in his eyes. "I see," he said, his voice low and measured. "You feel a bond with him , one that goes beyond a simple friendship."
Kaiden nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. "Yes, exactly," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "I know it's fast, but I feel like there's something extraordinary special between us. Something worth exploring."
Alpha Thane nodded, his expression serious and contemplating. I think that's understandable,You have my permission to keep in touch with him."
Kaiden's heart swelled with emotion, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Alpha Thane. "Thank you, Alpha Thane," he said, his voice sincere. "I promise to take care of Aiden, to be there for him no matter what."
Alpha Thane nodded, a small smile playing on his lips , "I know you will, Kaiden," he said patting him on the back softly.
As Kaiden walked away, Alpha Thane's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with thoughts. He had seen the way Kaiden looked at Aiden, the way his eyes lit up with a spark of recognition. It was a look that he had seen before, a look that he knew all too well.
Alpha Thane's thoughts drifted back to seer Nameria's word about an ancient prophecy, the one that spoke of Aiden being the mate of a cursed alpha . According to the prophecy, Aiden would be the one to break the curse of the Alpha , to free him from the shackles of a thousand years punishment .
Alpha Thane's eyes snapped back to the present, his gaze fixed on Kaiden's retreating back. He suspected that Kaiden might be the one, Aiden's cursed alpha mate. But he kept his thoughts to himself, deciding to observe from a distance.
As the Silvermist pack members went to their respective cars to begin their journey back home, Alpha Thane fell back, walking alongside his beta, Micheal.
"Micheal, we need to talk," Alpha Thane said, his voice low and serious.
Micheal's eyes flicked to Alpha Thane's face, his expression curious. "What's going on, Alpha?" he asked.
Alpha Thane's eyes scanned the surrounding area, ensuring they were out of earshot. "I think we might have found Aiden's mate," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Micheal's eyes widened, his expression shocked. "Who is it?" he asked, his voice low.
Alpha Thane's eyes locked onto Micheal's. "Kaiden, the Blackwood Alpha ," he replied, his voice measured.
Micheal's expression changed, a look of surprise and understanding crossing his face. "The prophecy," he whispered.
Alpha Thane nodded, his eyes serious. "Yes, the prophecy. We need to keep a close eye on Kaiden, Micheal. I want you to investigate him secretly to check if he's indeed cursed or not. If he's indeed Aiden's mate, we need to ensure their safety and how to help them in anyways possible."
Micheal nodded, his expression determined. "I'll make sure to keep an eye on him, Alpha."
Alpha Thane nodded, his eyes scanning the surrounding area once more. "Let's get back to the pack, Micheal . We have a lot to discuss."
