CHAPTER 30

Chapter 30

I don’t think about a f**g thing when I get into my car and drive. They had to be wrong somehow. They had to have made a mistake about the whole thing.

Maybe they hadn’t read right. Those geezers were old; they might have confused some things while trying to replace the truth.

I tried comforting myself, but it didn’t do a **n thing. Knox was howling inside my head, and I didn’t know how to get him under control. Not when my f**g head was spinning.

Looking back, I tried to remember every single detail about Lola. Sure, we have never f*d s**ince she was waiting for us to mark each other first, but we did get close a couple of times. That was before she stopped things from progressing. There was always a look of guilt in her eyes every time.

I don’t remember seeing any marks. Even if I didn’t notice it when she was in her human form, I would have noticed it when she was in her wolf form. Any mark, symbol, or birthmark on our human body is usually on our wolf’s fur. If she had that mark, then I would have noticed it in her wolf. It wasn’t once or twice that we went for a run together after shifting.

Pressing on the accelerator, my Maybach surges forward, taking me closer to where I wanted to be. I needed answers. I keep trying to push what Micah said to the back of my f**g mind. It can’t be. It just can’t be true.

I break every f**g speed limit, but within minutes I’m at the front of my pack house. I park my car, not really caring if I parked it right or if I was blocking anyone. Getting out, I rushed into the imposing mansion like the fiery fires of hell were after me.

Sniffing the air, I follow the scents, and it leads me to the boardroom. This is where we have all our important meetings as higher-ranking officials.

Opening the door, I replace all the elders, Jason and Micah, seated around the tables. A few papers and books were on the table.

What the hell is going on?” I asked, trying to mask my anger and frustration.

“Alpha,” one of the elders bowed before making eye contact. “Did your mate have a crescent mark behind her left ear? I know Gamma Micah has already asked you, but this is really important.”

F**k! I feel the panic rising, and I f***g hate it.

“First of all, tell me why you’re asking me this,” I replied instead while trying to calm down. “Micah didn’t really tell me much.”

Chapter 30

Knox was pacing in my head, giving me a d**n migraine. He was panicking, just like I was. Sure, Lola left us, but in our hearts, she was still our mate. We still wanted to replace her and win her back. If this information is true, then it would ruin everything. If it’s true, then it meant that I couldn’t be with her. That left me feeling like a dagger had been driven into my heart.

“Okay,” he nodded, his voice pulling me to the present. “It was by chance that Elder Martin came across it in a room under the pack library. He remembered his father telling him that there was a secret room beneath the library and that most of the important prophecies that were recorded were usually hidden in the attic.”

If I remember correctly, Elder Martin’s father had once been in charge of the pack library. His knowledge had earned him a spot as an elder. He’d transferred that same knowledge to his son, who later took the mantle from his dad after he died.

Elder Martin takes over from him. “He told me that the reason for that was to protect them, so they wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands. Also, because it was cool in the attic, which would protect the fragile papers, which were centuries old.”

He pauses, then continues, “My father never mentioned the secret room again, and I forgot about it. That was until I had this dream where he was telling me to check the secret room he’d told me about. At first, I wanted to ignore the dream, but the feeling of checking it out just kept nagging me until i finally relented. We’ve never really seen the prophecy about your mate; we just heard it passed down from one person to another. It got me curious, and I wondered if perhaps the prophecy was locked. away down there.

I had no idea what I was looking for. My father had never really given me its specific location. I also didn’t want to say anything if it turned out to be a dead end. I almost gave up after four days of searching and still replaceing nothing, but the goddess was with me. I managed to replace it a couple of hours ago.

He walked to me and handed me a book, pointing to a specific page. I want to run away from it, but I can’t. If this is what will save my pack, then I need to push my feelings aside.

Taking the book, I stared at the passage he pointed at.

[She is strong and powerful. An Alpha Female and her powers, when awakened, will shake the foundations of the world. Because she is the blessed one, their union will be blessed, and their offspring will rule both the heavens and the earth. Only she will be able to undo the curse; only she will be able to destroy the evil. In her presence, the pack will recover and flourish, becoming the most powerful pack the world has ever seen. So many will want to use her, to destroy and suppress her, but she will prevail. Many will want to destroy their bond, so beware of impostors, for the blessed one will be known by a white crescent moon mark on her left ear.]

Chapter 30

My breathing is heavy as I read the text over and over again. This can’t be. This simply can’t f**g

be.

“Alec,” Jason’s voice cut through my thoughts. “We need to know if Lola had the markings, because if she didn’t…”

He doesn’t finish the sentence. He leaves it hanging, but I know what he was about to say. If she didn’t have the marking, then it meant she wasn’t my true mate.

“No, she didn’t,” I growled, replacing the pain in my heart.

I doubted it before, but after reading the entry, I knew she didn’t. Lola has a black wolf; I wouldn’t have been able to miss a white mark on her fur had she had the crescent moon, given the mark is supposed to be white.

“But it doesn’t make any f**g sense.” I started pacing, feeling more on edge than before. “If she wasn’t my destined mate, how the f**k did I feel a bond with her when we met? How come I felt it when it broke after she rejected me?”

No one answered. I bet they were just as confused as I was. This whole thing was a damn mess, and it has just brought more confusion and a few answers.

“I don’t know,” Micah answered after a while. “But the book did warn about impostors. It looks like Lola was an impostor, and you now need to replace your true mate.”

He was right, but I didn’t want to hear it. My heart was screaming against the idea. Sure, she wasn’t my mate, according to the text, but can I really trust a book that has been hidden for years?

I trusted my gut, and my gut told me that there was something more. She may not be my mate, but heart knows her and I know she wouldn’t have done this. She wouldn’t have deceived me.

Someone must have manipulated things. The question is, who?
