The morning breeze calmed my anxiety down, I had tons of stuff to do yet here I was trying to take back Bea from a royal pack where it was known that nobody could take anything from them without their consent or they would make anyone crazy with their magic.
A part of me was happy that they captured Bea and tortured her like she deserved but another weird sensation made me worried about her claim to mine.
What if it was true? what if Bea was my mate and it was something wrong with me?
There wasn't enough time to contemplate that because Alana jumped into my arms suddenly and that caught me off guard, their magic was inevitable and they made sure to boast their powers around. Alana wiggled in my arms as her red eyes stared deep into mine to see if I had any evil intentions to play with her pack but when her doubts were clear and her eyes turned blue as she hugged me.
"Came to join our pack finally?" she teased and kissed my cheek.
"Well, actually, little bad fairy-" I was about to finish my reply but her dad appeared to speak to me and I felt the bad aura he had towards me making my symbol shine red.
Back in the days, Alana and her father ruled the royal pack that consisted of only one thousand warriors, all of which had magic powers that stemmed from their ancestors, they were magic werewolves and I often wondered how didn't I belong to them when I had my super powers but it turned out that my super powers came from the curse after I was born but they were born with these magic powers, that was what separated me from them. Her father, Ale Avalanche, lost his mate due to overdosing on her magic powers and ended up dying because of it. Their pack history was known to everyone: their tribe and traditions, their well-kept privacy, their hidden territories.
Alana's story was similar to mine, she lost her mother right after she was born and had a curse since birth while I had mine after birth. Her late mother, Vivian Avalanche, had the darkest power of all: vision. She had to protect her daughter during war so she overused her vision power to make all the enemies blind and easy to kill. In a way, she sacrificed herself for Alana hence the red eyes curse to sense any arrivals to the pack and much bigger powers than her own size.
She also reminded me of Destalia and her bubble of protection power.
"You came to fetch your mate, I see." Ale's gruff voice analyzed. His form was much bigger than Hercules as he stepped in with hands clenched on his sides. Unlike his mate, Ale's power was light, he had a healing power and at the same time, he had the power to return sight which made them perfect for each other.
Sterlight pack was the only ally to Avalance pack and that was a miracle since they all they had were enemies. My dad and his mate were trainers back in the day, when Ale came into our pack, he claimed her as her mate and took her to his pack. That's probably why they liked us; because we protected Vivian. That's all what my dad said to me about them when we were studying packs.
"We need her back, it's Alpha Jackson's order." I sternly stated. He seemed wary of me, he eyed the symbol on my forehead which was still red because I was uncomfortable around him.
"Why would you need your own threat? shouldn't you be happy she is with us?" He questioned and I knew that this wasn't going to be easy. Alana placed her little hand on my cheek and my eyes went to hers, she scanned my eyes with her laser-red eyes and they went back to normal.
"Ah, dad, there seems to be an issue with that," she spoke and that was what I wanted. Alana was the only one to convince her dad to get my mate back, "they need her for interrogation because of her knowledge about Destalia's curse." She reasoned. I knew I could count on her, I gave her a wink and she winked back. She was a cool child if it wasn't for her killing ways.
I let her down and she adjusted her dress before going to her dad, she stared at him to transfer the information she gathered on my sister from me and he nodded along, he took her hand in his and eyed the men near him.
"Get the spunk out." He instructed and they nodded. They disappeared into thin air and brought her so quick that I only blinked once to see her right in front of me.
"Jeez guys, tone down the magic." She groaned and Alana didn't seem to like that as she snapped a finger making Bea wince slightly in pain.
"Off you go both and do inform us about my friend Desti, we will make sure to visit to see if we can help." Alana reassured and I nodded in respect to both of them before holding Bea's arm and dragging her off.
Bea was silent and I had to resist the urge to yell at her antics. I was beyond raged when I knew about my father visiting her at midnight and what he told me about her knowing Desti's curse made it all the more agitating to me, that and when dad ordered me to get her first thing in the morning.
So it definitely wasn't the mating pull.
I glanced at Bea's auburn messy bun and how her eyes seemed to focus ahead, her lips pursed and her jaw tightened. It seemed like she was planning with her sadistic wolf.
"Spit it out, mate." She broke the silent and I decided to go along with it.
"How the hell do you know about Desti's curse?" I asked, I thought she was going to dodge the question but to my surprise, she gave me an answer.
"Because I know about your mother."
