Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 41

Thora’s pov

What the hell!

How does he know it. I look at him stunned. His eyes taking in my expression quite closely.

To only have me chuckle, trying to increase the distance between us.

“S..ir.. Daniel…I didn’t know you even joked”

His jaw hardens. His eyes, still looking at me.

“I don’t Thora.”

I avoid his stare, looking down at my hands. Trying to avoid his scrutinizing gaze.

“Thora. I know you have been rejected by your mate and your Alpha has treated you badly. You don’t need to hide it from me.”

So he knows….but does he know my Alpha is none other than my mate?

That I am Volkan’s true mate.

“But please tell me if you carry your mate’s pup. Nothing will be same then.”

I don’t know how to answer this,so I barely nod.

There is a deadly silence that follows to only have him curse getting up. He looked really tensed, I don’t know why.

Pacing the room talking to himself.

What about my child? Will he try to kill it? Why does he looked so angry suddenly.

“Fuc*! What will we do now! This is just according to the Prophesy!”

I haven’t seen him angry like this before, it somehow instilled fear inside me. I move back on the bed, moving my hands on my stomach. Looking at him in fear.

“I…I won’t let you hurt my child…I…”

He turns back around to look at me and stills. His eyes softening immediately. To only have him move closer to me.

“Hey…I am sorry. Just calm down fiore…no one will hurt you or your child. You are safe here.”

“No..I need to leave..I am going.”

“Shit!”

He curses, holding my arm. Making me look up at him.

“Leave me”

I say almost seething. Looking back into his dark eyes.But his grip doesn’t loosen.

“You don’t understand Thora. You are not normal.”

“You and your child…you both can’t survive on your own out there!”

It may be true , but I no longer need to be dependent on anyone. Go hell with him and Volkan.

“I said move back Sir Daniel !”

He sighs, calming himself. His grip not loosening on my arm.

“Sit down Thora. You can’t leave like this.”

I thrash, trying to pull my arm.

“I can! You are no one to stop me! I said I am leaving!”

I was able to take a step away from him when I felt dizzy suddenly. What the hell?

The world moving on its axis.

He holds me before I could fall. Picking me up in his arms to place me back on the bed.

Why does my head spin suddenly and that’s when I remember Volkan.

That a*****e! He gave me that medicine forcefully! It must be it!

Daniel places a cup of water near my lips and I gulp it, breathing heavily.

Placing my head back on the headrest of the bed.

“Just calm down fiore.”

I couldn’t. I have to go away from them. I have to leave.

“No ..I need to go…”

“Fine”

Daniel says , surprising me. To only take out a small diary from his pocket to place it in my lap .

“But first go through this.”

I pick up the diary in my palms, the sign on its first page making me gulp.

It was the same sign I saw in the diary in Volkan’s office.

An infinity sign with a wolf in centre.

And I look up at into his eyes. Why was he showing it to me? Gulping I open the first page to see images of a big wolf standing inside a burned village…dead bodies surrounding him.

The words written under it were in a language I couldn’t understand.

Turning to the next page, I see the picture of a small newborn laying near a river bank with Thunder striking the sky.

I turn more pages to see a tree in the centre with women surrounding it, and kneeling in front of it.

These pictures…what were these?

What are they trying to say?

“What is this?”

I ask him , looking confused at all the pictures and descriptions.

“It’s a diary I have made by collecting all the information I can on the death wolf.”

.

.

“The death wolf is the strongest wolf to know to exist in this world Thora. Around a thousand years ago ,he was known to have wiped millions of lives from earth. Call it humans, werewolves or animals.”

“There was no stop to him…no one powerful enough was able to defeat him, unless.”

“Th moon goddess herself descended on the earth to put a stop to his menace.”

“She killed his wolf form and cursed him to lock his soul in the bark of a tree in the mysterious forest. And since then, death wolf has stayed to be a mystery.”

I look up at him. I tried finding about the death wolf myself, but couldn’t find all these details.

From where did he found it?

Why was he after the death wolf?

He continues, turning the pages to the picture of where the women kneel around a tree.

“Centuries ago some people started worshipping the soul of the death wolf, considering it to be a god and not a curse. Hoping to yield it’s immense power”

“Women used to sing prayers, by surrounding it. People used to consider it sacred untill that one night.”

He turns the book to a page where in the picture dark clouds surround the tree.

And I still.

The black clouds…why do they look so familiar? My heart thumps in my chest as I stare at the picture in my hands.

“Untill that night when everyone was worshipping….an envelope of dark clouds surrounded the tree and the next day… everyone was found dead.”

“It looked like everything has been soaked from their bodies…their eyes black…..like the death wolf has killed them and taken their soul in itself.”

“Since then the tree in that forest because haunted and no one visited it.”

“But little did anyone knew that it was just the beginning.”

“The spirit of death wolf had been awakened and it searched for beings to come closer to the tree, so that it could soak their souls and become stronger.”

“But now no one visited that tree….instead the authorities sealed the very borders of the forest.”

“And then weird things started happening around in the villages.”

“Rejected females…started crossing the borders to go towards the forest and surrender their souls to the death wolf.”

“They started going insane….it is said that because the people stopped coming in the forest near the tree….the soul of the death wolf searched for weak humans and wolves to control their mind ……and who could be more vulnerable than rejected weak she wolves.”

“Thousands of she wolves went crazy if they didn’t accepted the rejection of their mate. They said they heard the death wolf call to them….and eventually they willfully surrendered their souls to the death wolf by giving themselves to him.”

I felt a shiver run down my spine. No….is that my fate….is that why Volkan wanted me to accept the rejection.

You will die if you don’t accept it Dammit!

Volkan’s words resonate in my mind and I feel a heaviness in my chest. I see the clouds…I hear the death wolves voice, does this mean I will eventually kill myself?

My hands move on my stomach, no….I can’t….I have my child with me.

I would never.

Not for me, but for my child. I would no way in hell surrender myself to anyone.

I was so lost in thoughts ,that I didn’t realise when a tear slides down my eyes. A cold touch on my cheek brought me out of my thoughts as I look up to see Daniel cleaning my tears with the pad of his thumb.

“Thora? What happened fiore?”

I move my head to a side. Cleaning my tears and making his hand to drop.

“Nothing. I will be fine. This death is nothing……and you only said it’s a prophesy.”

Daniel sighs, taking the book from hands.

“I wish it was Thora. Even I doubted it unless…..”

He looks up at my mark ,to finally settle his eyes at me.

“I saw it with my own eyes.”

Turning the book to a page with a weird mark on it, I look at it in confusion.

“Your rejection mark is not normal Thora. See this.”

My hands quivered as I took the mirror from his hands, to look closer at my mark.

My mouth running dry as I see 4 dark veins on either side of the burned skin.

“It…..weird…it wasn’t there before.”

Daniel sighs, looking at me with concerned eyes.

“It’s the beginning of the mark Thora.”

I look at him in confusion, to only have him turn the pages of the book. Near the numeric one a design similar to mine was there….near 2 the veins start extending to complete the sign of infinity and near the numeric 3 was the complete sign…the very sign at the cover of the book…the death wolf.

The mirror drops from my hands, to only be steadied by Daniel.

“You are in the beginning Thora… it’s stage 1 for you…..when the mark reaches stage 3?”

“You will be summoned to the mysterious forest by the death wolf.”

I move my head in a no…not believing it.

This has to be a joke….this can’t be happening.

My fingers move on my mark and I hold in a sob.

Why? Why does it have to happen to me.

“How..how much time does it take to reach stage 3?”

“It normally is 6 full moons apart but in your case it is different.”

Holding my hands in his, he makes me look up at him.

“You are not like those other she wolves that were summoned and died Thora.”

“You are the prophesied one for whom the death wolf has waited for centuries!”

“I….I don’t understand….”

Daniel desperately turns the book to the page ,where there was thunder in the sky and a child wrapped near a river bank.

“Didn’t you tell me that you were found by your previous Luna, near a river bank when it was striking thunder in the sky?”

“It’s said here Thora…. it’s said that centuries later a girl will be born without parents…a girl whose birth will be celebrated by the heavens in form of thunder.”

I stare at the photo…no…it could be a coincidence…but I don’t know my parents…. Landon’s mom brought me to her pack.

“The girl will the one whose soul would be so pure that the death wolf will not be able to take her…..his darkness will not be able to penetrate into her purity and infilterate her”

“She will be the one who will end him completely unless…….”

It must be a joke….I already hear the death wolves voice…I even listened to it earlier.

I was not pure…I was tainted used and thrown like a broken toy….how could I be the girl he talks about?.

“Unless?”

Daniel turns to the last page of the book and I still. My heart stopping for a second.

The scene was horrifying….there was red everywhere…dark b***d red…with piles of dead bodies except for the presence of a wolf with red eyes in the centre.

“Unless the death wolf finds a way to break into her soul and take it from her…..unless the death wolf gets in her mind and controls it…..finally coming to power to rise terror in the entire world again.”

“Having survived on others souls for so many years, the final soul of the prophesied one will be the one to release Death wolf from its curse.”

“He will rise to power again using only you Thora and only you can stop him from doing it.”

“But…I…am not even sure…I..”

Daniel holds my face in his palms to clean my tears with his thumb.

“You are our future Thora….only you can save us..”

“But my child?”

“Death wolf couldn’t connect with you before because your wolf is pure. It’s darkness couldn’t enter your mind.”

“However the child in your womb Thora.”

“Death wolf used the innocent child as a medium to connect with you.”

“Have you been listening to a voice in your mind talking to you? When did it first started.”

And that’s when I remember when I first heard that voice in the room.

When I had slept with Volkan and his seed was already inside me. When my child’s heartbeat has already formed.

“No….no..he can’t…my child…my child is innocent.”

“The death wolf connects with you using your child Thora.”

“And if you don’t stop it? The day the stage 3 begins? You will bring to rise the deadliest wolf in history Thora.”

“And the entire man and wolf kind will be left at mercy of him.”

I still looking into his eyes….is he asking me to end my child? No ….I would never.

“Decide on your own Thora. If you bring this child to life? All of us will die.”

He moves back, leaving the diary in my hands. To only look at me with a sad look.

I couldn’t look at him, my eyes only fixed at the sign on the book that is slowly forming on my neck.

“Rest fiore. But remember I am always here to protect you, no matter what you choose.”

I just stare at him leaving, too numb to do or say anything. My fingers moving over the design as a sob leaves my lips.

My other hand covering her stomach.

Can I kill my own child ?

Can I be the one in the book?

My tears clouded my sight as I flips through the pages, to only stop at the picture of a pair of eyes.

They were as black as night…and I suddenly remembers seeing them somewhere.

To only have the book drop from her hands.

“Don’t be scared friend.”

I remember Elora’s innocent sweet voice changing to a heavy voice that day….in the infirmary. It was him….the death wolf trying to communicate with me.

And the words he spoke that day, making sense.

“You are the one he has been waiting for.”

Fuc*!

I curse, holding my head in my hands, that’s it.

I am the one.

But still one thing didn’t made senses.

If what Daniel said is true ….why were the hunters searching for the prophesied one?

Why Volkan wanted to stop them before they found me.

Can Daniel have his own ulterior motive in this?

Because one thing was for sure.

Right now, I can trust no one except myself.
