I don’t think about a fucking 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 find the truth.
I tried comforting myself, but it didn’t do a damn thing. Axel was howling inside my head, and I didn’t know how to get him under control. Not when my fucking head was spinning.
Looking back, I tried to remember every single detail about Eunice. Sure, we have never fucked since 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 Colin said to the back of my fucking mind. It can’t be. It just can’t be true.
I break every fucking 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 find all the elders, Matt and Colin, 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 Colin has already asked you, but this is really important.”
Fuck! I feel the panic rising, and I fucking hate it.
“First of all, tell me why you’re asking me this,” I replied instead while trying to calm down. “Colin didn’t really tell me much.”
Axel was pacing in my head, giving me a damn migraine. He was panicking, just like I was. Sure, Eunice left us, but in our hearts, she was still our mate. We still wanted to find 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.
