Bonded By Destiny

Ryker

My wolf was out to play, pushing to the surface with every single strength he had. He knew one mistake would cost us every thing we have ever held dear. Tamara’s emotions hit our link but two surpassed the rest. Anger and hatred, her face was calm but the twitching of her fingers was anything but restful.

‘Why are you doing this Pete? ‘ My father was in nothing but a state of confusion amidst the happenings. He kept on throwing fearful glances at the wizard and his brother.

Pete chuckled before his face took on a serious form. ‘ Brother, you have always been good to every one, but not to me. ‘

‘What are you talking about? ‘

‘My rightful place in this pack, the alpha position. ‘ He menacingly stated earning a laugh from my mate.

‘Really now? ‘ You fled the pack like a coward, did you really expect it to run itself? ‘ Tamara mocked, crossing her arms on her upper belly.

‘Shut up! you weren’t there you stupid witch. ‘

‘Call her stupid again, see what happens. ‘ I threatened but he just ignored me all together.

‘When you came back from goddess knows where, I was ready to step down for you. ‘ My father reasoned.

‘But you didn’t and you thought I wasn’t myself after my return. ‘

‘But you weren’t. ‘ Dad shrugged his shoulders angering his psychotic brother even more. Theo still held to Monica, no doubt the two had already learnt they were mates.

‘Uncle Lio is right. Father you lost your wolf father, how could you have led a pack of werewolves without a wolf? ‘ Theo squeezed his mate, directing a glare to his unfazed father.

‘I see you two have finally met officially. ‘ Pete turned to Theo and his mate, pointing at them.

‘I needed to pay a price to keep my sanity. Grant my wolf abilities to my master here and in return he would help me take down those who threatened to stand in my way. ‘ That explained why my mind link to him never went through. How is it that we never notixed

‘Why dad? ‘ Theo scowled at his father. ‘Why did you keep us apart if you knew we were mates?’

‘Why of course, I was merely helping you get rid of any weakness. She would have been a distraction and I couldn’t allow that. You should be thanking Addanc for talking me out of wanting to murder her. ‘

‘You know the pain of being without a mate father. Why would you wish the same for me? ‘ Theo almost cried, raw emotions forcing a vein on his forehead to pop.

‘I only know of the strength it brings. Having no ties to hold me back, no stupid love bonds to render me weak. Why do you think I killed my parents and your mother? ‘

‘What! ‘ Mimi had touched on the possibility and here he was confirming it all.

‘You fucking monster. ‘ Theo growled moving towards his father in a speed any human eye couldn’t comprehend. He however halted right before his father, knees bending forcefully. He screamed in agony as he came into contact with the wooden floor. Monica screamed, running towards him in panic.

‘Do you think we came here defenceless? Oh how stupid of you, a strong invisible barrier surrounds Pete and I. There is no harming us today, we will be doing the murdering. ‘ The man proudly and evilly stated, spreading his hands.

‘See the ashes we got from Mimi’s skull helped me boost my powers. You are no match for me little witch and soon you will kneel before me, begging. ‘ He gave a nod to Pete who returned a smile.

‘I will avenge the deaths of my associates by making sure you will never procreate. I wanted to kill you, but I decided otherwise. I will take you and use your power for as long as I want. ‘ He addressed Tamara who remained calm and unaffected.

‘As for the rest of you, Pete will reclaim his rightful position and you shall submit to him whether you like it or not. ‘ Monica was still sobbing, holding her mate who writhed in pain.

‘Your sister’s mate is somewhere unharmed and you will see him. If, you agree to hand us your little mate

Or, I will take your mate, kill Jayson thereby forcing Janette to her death. No doubt after Tamara falls in my arms you will die or go mad. Your parents won’t be able to take it all in and they will also die. Do you really want the blood of all those people in your hands… Alpha? ‘

I growled, the dilemma I was being trapped in overpowering me. ‘No need for that, I will come with you willingly. ‘ Tamara stepped forward seemingly unaffected by the whole ordeal.

‘No Tamara, we will find a way out of this please. ‘ I begged, my heart beating erratically and my wolf whimpering in return.

‘Trust me, work with me like Mimi said. Just follow my act, I want you yo throw that chalice to me in a count of three. Just trust me please. ‘ She spoke through our bond making me relax a bit. She then extended a claw, slashing the centre of her palm.

‘Stupid witch already wanting to kill herself. ‘ Pete chuckled as her blood began to drip on the floor. On the count of three I threw it to her. She held the shiny object in one hand, dripping the blood in the shiny object all while looking at Pete with murderous eyes.

She had mind linked me earlier, telling me that she needed the golden chalice. Luckily, we hadn’t ventured far and in our goddess given forms we ran and got what she had asked.

‘I must say I hoped you would put up a fight, but this is fine by…’

‘Acha moto uwashe kizuizi.

Moto kutoka kwa mababu zangu. Acha moto uwashe kizuizi.’ She lifted the chalice up, chanting. With every word, her voice arose and so did her tone.

As she chanted the place began to heat up. The smell of smoke began to invade my nostrils, and like me everyone began to cough. ‘It’s too much, I can’t control it! ‘ She screamed in a strained voice.

‘I will burn you to ashes Addanc, for every pain you have caused you will pay. I bind you to my blood. ‘ Her power was nothing like I have ever seen before.

‘Everyone get out! This place is burning out and you will go down with it! ‘ She was forcefully yanked by an invisible force, pulling me with her to the grass covered wet ground on the outside. The rain had since stopped and the sky was beginning to clear up.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

‘Get them out of there! ‘ I screamed at my men and as instructed Theo and Monica were helped outside, my father closely behind them.

‘What are you? ‘ Addanc forced the words out, gasping for air as he walked towards us.

‘The means to your death. ‘ It was my mate’s turn to smile as Addanc’s once dark eyes showed streaks of fear.

‘I would like to see you try. ‘ He raised his head looking at her with determination.

‘Ninamlaani mnyama wako afe. Utanyauka hata kufa.’ My throat suddenly tightened on me, forcing me to gasp for air. I tried breathing in but I only felt pain and whimpers from my wolf.

‘Noooo! Tamara shouted.

‘The way I see it now, you have a choice to make. Save your mate by coming with me willingly, or leave his wolf to wither and die eventually. No matter what you choose, you will still come with me. Forcefully or willingly, what is it going to be? ‘ The evil wizard was making bargains even after seeing the immense power my mate possessed.

‘You will pay for this. ‘ I could feel my wolf fading out of me and for once in my life I felt real fear. Then she screamed, the sound almost shattering the earth into pieces. Her eyes shut, her legs bending and a force pulling her to the ground. It all happened in a flash and when she stood up and opened her eyes… They were magnificent brown – tinged gray, like the moon.

‘You dare curse one of my own? ‘ Tamara’s voice completely changed to a whisper. A breeze began to blow her hair and even in my state, I could feel immense power rolling out of her. I knew better, there was an inhabitant in her body whose power compelled every werewolf on their knees.

‘And you. ‘ She pointed at Pete. ‘You killed my innocent children, your parents driven by lust for power. You mocked my gift to you and took the life of the mate I saw fit for you. For that, I shall kill you myself. ‘ I could hear gasps, my pack members had us surrounded by now, witnessing as their Luna ascended to humongous power. I didn’t know how they had gotten here but then again it was hard to hide such commotion in a pack full of werewolves.

‘It can’t be. ‘ Pete muttered, with Addanc shaking like a fucking coward.

‘It is I who gave you life, but you turned out to be a vile wolf.’ She stretched her hand then folded it and began to pull it back.

‘Pl… ea.. aase. ‘ He begged, clutching his throat. The moon goddess only pulled her hand back more and the man fell down forcing rapid coughs out of his mouth.

‘Death is far too easy for a monster like you. I want you to die knowing that I hate you and that I will never be anything like you. ‘ Theo squatted in front of his father, then spat at him as he stood upright. A smile coated his face as his murderous father chocked on his own saliva.

‘Theo is right, how could you kill our parents Pete? They wanted the best for you and yet you took their lives. I hope you meet in the after life, I hope they make you suffer for your monstrous actions. ‘ The crowd agreed with nods as my father stepped back.

‘As for you, you came for my chosen one, to kill the child she carries. But today, you will become her slave, bound by her ancestors magic.’ It was indeed our maker, in my mate’s body.

‘I would rather die. ‘ He spat in a shaky voice.

‘There is no escape for you, Tamara’s grandmother and the rest will be waiting for you on the other side. I assure you, you will love it there. ‘ She laughed, satisfied with the fear that clouded Addanc.

He whispered back. ‘ Choma. ‘ He chanted a burning spell, the motherfucker was trying to commit suicide. Before his body was set up in flames, Theo was up in his feet. He clutched his head between his hands. ‘You manipulated a sacred bond and brought so much pain to my mate. Suicide is an easy way out motherfucker. ‘ With one twist, he snapped Addanc’s neck, taking his father’s associate life. As the flames grew and spread on his corpse, claps of a happy crowd filled the cackling sounds of the fire. He burned out until he was no more and I had never felt such relief. His spell on my wolf was no more. That meant that wherever Jayson was he was free of his magic and would return home soon.

‘My wonderful creation, I am your goddess and today I bless this land. You will never lack and nothing will ever harm you again. Rejoice for your Alpha and Luna have defeated your enemy. ‘ We all knelt down, bowing and showing our respect to her.

It was all over, we had done it. After days of fretting we had finally done it, with the help of our creator.

‘What the hell happened here? ‘ Jayson emerged, his clothes tattered. The crown parted way for him, his eyes looking at Pete’s lifeless body.

I smiled, I knew he would find his way back. ‘One hell of a show. ‘
