Contracted to be three Alphas'mate

The curse

However, it was then revealed to alpha Koen that he had to keep some secrets from Luna. Keeping everything about Luna history secretly until she starts demonstrating the gift that is in her.

"A gift?" He asked the chief priest, as he was told at the moment by the chief priest. "Yes." Answered the chief priest. " she has a wonderful gift, and only with that gift will she be able to reunite her parents’ pack. The chief priest paused and continue "Luna was cursed by her witch guardian Zara the night before Zara disappearance. Luna did not know about it. It happened while she was still fast asleep."

"Do you mean the witch guardian cast a curse on Luna while she was in bed?" Alpha asked him. "Yes, that is what I mean." Answered the chief priest, who said further. "Koen, you must not reveal this to her; we have to wait for the cleansing ceremony, which comes after the solution has been found, and the moment when she will have to face her parents’ pack".

"What curse," Koen asked. " I swear with my life not to tell her anything until the cleansing is done." Koen promised. in addition, Koen had been told that if Luna found out about this earlier, it might be harder to free her completely, so she should be aware when Koen is sure and ready to take the task. The chief priest insisted that they should let destiny guide her. " What was the curse then?" Koen asked further. " She was cursed to never have a lasting mate, as long as Zara lack relative or a companion while with her, Luna would be her only companion until death." The chief priest answered Koen.

Koen felt a pang of fear and anger in his chest. He loved Luna more than anything, and he could not bear the thought of losing her to some evil witch. He wondered if there was a way to break the curse, or at least to protect Luna from its effects the more. He decided to ask the chief priest more questions, hoping to find a solution.

"Is there no way to undo the curse?" Koen asked urgently. "There might be a way, but it is very risky and dangerous." The chief priest spoke cautiously. "What is it? Tell me, please. I will do anything for Luna." Koen said it earnestly.

The chief priest said, “The only way to break the curse is to kill the witch guardian who cast it." " But that is not an easy task. She is very powerful and cunning, and she has many allies and minions." " She lives in a hidden fortress in the Dark Forest, guarded by traps and spells. No one has ever dared to challenge her, and those who tried never returned.”

Koen felt a surge of determination. He said, “I don’t care how hard it is." " I will find her, kill her, and free Luna from the curse. She deserves to be happy, and I want her to be my mate forever. Please tell me how to get to the Dark Forest and how to find the witch’s fortress.”

The chief priest sighed. He said, “I admire your courage and love, Koen, but you might be reckless. You don’t know what you are up against." " The witch guardian is not someone you can defeat with brute force or speed. She is a master of magic and deception, and she will use your weaknesses against you." " She will try to manipulate you, tempt you, or scare you. She will make you doubt yourself, your love, and your destiny, and will do anything to keep Luna as her companion.”

Koen shook his head. He said, “I won’t let her get me. I trust myself, and I trust Luna." " We are meant to be together, and nothing will stop us. Please, just tell me how to get there.”

The chief priest hesitated. He said, “I can tell you how to get to the Dark Forest, but I can’t guarantee that you will find the witch’s fortress. It is hidden by powerful illusions and enchantments." " You will need a special item to see through them, and I don’t have it.”

Koen asked eagerly, “What is the item? Where can I get it?."

The chief priest said, “The item is a pendant made of moonstone, a rare and precious gem that can reveal the truth behind illusions." "It belonged to Luna’s mother, from the Moonlight Pack."

She hid it beside a tree while leaving the pack in pain from being maltreated by the powerful red moon pack alpha that got her impregated and denied it; the pendant belonged to him, and in course to punish him, Ava ran with it, still with his pregnancy." He answered Koen and continued, "Although she died while giving birth to Luna, it was at that point that the witch guidance Zara got to assist her in delivery at the forest."

Koen felt a spark of hope. He said, “If the pendant has been hidden under a tree, then it must have been taken by someone or she, revealing it to Zara." " What exactly do you have to say about this? Does anyone know where it is? Such a person may help me find it. and then we can go to the Dark Forest together. I would also like to go with Luna."

The chief priest shook his head. He said, “No, Koen. She doesn’t remember anything about her past or the curse. If she get to know,, you have put her in danger and break your promise to me. You have to do this alone, or not at all.”

Koen felt torn. He wanted to share everything with Luna, and he wanted her by his side. But he also wanted to protect her and honor his word.

He waited to see if there was an answer to who might know about the pendant without risking Luna’s safety or happiness.

Koen asked him, “Is there no one else who knows where the pendant is?." Koen Paused and continue. " Someone from the pack or outside the pack, there could be someone who saw her. Aren't there any?.”

The chief priest thought for a moment. And replied, “There might be one person who knows something about the Pendant, his name is Remy." "He was returning from his hunting at the breaking of the day, when he saw it. He also saw Zara helping Luna mother, and when Zara realized he got a precious item, which Luna mother mentioned was to be gifted to Luna, the same item that had been collected by Remy, Zara went after Remy, but he managed to escape from the witch’s minions." " Alpha he was badly wounded and traumatized by the experience, and he never spoke of it again. He left the Moonlight pack soon after that and joined another pack far away from here, with the pendant.”

Koen felt a surge of curiosity and hope,he asked the chief priest again, “Where is he now? Can I talk to him? Maybe he can tell me where the pendant is.”

"He is among the blue moon pack; there will you get to see his children; they have been instructed by Remy a night before his death not to waste it, nor will they get to destroy it, until the rightful owner comes for it."

"Will they get to know the rightful owner?" Koen asked him.

"Luna's mother has told Remy in his dream that it belongs to Luna, she mention Luna to him." "Meanwhile, Remy's first son, whose pendant is under his care, seems to be sturdy and heartless. I will help you by manipulating him; he will hand it over to you without dragging." "But remember, this is a hard task you are about to make, Alpha Koen." The chief priest reminded Alpha Koen the danger ahead.
