Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 43

She stared at the man who just proclaimed her to be his chosen wife. Anger and disbelief surging through her veins.

“Answer me dammit!”

Daniel just sighs, turning his back on her. To only take a pillow from the bed and place it on the couch.

Ignoring her.

But she wasn’t going to let it go. Stopping in front of him, she blocks his way.

“Answer me Daniel. Why?”

She asks almost pleading and he runs his hand through his hair.

“See fiore you know I only did it to keep you safe. You are under no obligation to perform the duties of my wife.”

She scoffs, in disbelief. To only grab his collar. Pulling him to her.

“Of course I won’t do that sh**! I have my mate’s child in my womb and I will die before I love another man! “

He lowers his eyes, knowing this already. The women was too dedicated to her mate, even though he has thrown her away like this.

“But you…you are the leader of the hunters clan. Tell me why you are helping me?”

I just looks at her, not saying anything. To only have her shake his frame by pulling his collar.

“Answer me dammit! Answer me! What do you want from me….you want to use me right? “

How badly he wanted to say no to her. But he couldn’t. It’s no use hiding it, she should not be kept in dark anymore.

“Yes. I want to use you Thora. I want to use you for my selfish reasons. Happy?”

She leaves his collar. Looking at him in disbelief. To only have him hold her face in his palms, making her teary eyes to set back at him.

“But I am not wrong. You alone can help me to end the werewolves…they have hurt you so much Thora.”

“They have killed us humans…. destroyed villages…only death wolf can end them and I want you to join me in this mission….I want to end Volkan’s rule Thora”

“You are dillusional Daniel! I would never-“

“I promise to keep you and your child safe Thora. I promise. I will give you all the happiness in this world. I would never leave you fiore.”

“If I can go against my entire clan to keep you and your child safe? I can even go against the entire world including your mate”

If only he knew that the mate he is talking about is Volkan himself. If only he knew that the future of werewolves ,he is talking about is alive…in Thora’s womb right now.

“Please trust me fiore. Please”

Daniel almost pleads, to only have her lower her eyes.

“You…you asked me to kill my own child Daniel..how can I trust you?’

“I told you that if you want to stop the prophesy of the death wolf….. then you need to kill your child.”

“But if we want to end the werewolves…your child is going to be the kingpin in it…the child will help the death to rise Thora…you child will mark it’s beginning.”

Thora was at loss of words, removing Daniel’s hands to turn her back towards him.

Her hands running on her stomach as she thinks about the fate her child will bring.

“No…I.. can’t….no…”

“I…I…need to tell them….I need to tell Volkan.”

“And then what fiore? Volkan and his army are searching for the prophesied one so that they could end him/her.”

“The prophesied one is the only threat to their existence. And what do you think will happen when he comes to know you are the one?”

Turning her around, he makes her look at him.

“He will kill you and your child Thora. He will end your very existence without the blink of an eye!”

Her eyes widen at the realisation. She knew Volkan was desperate to find the prophesied one, but she didn’t knew, why.

“You are a curse on the entire werewolf race Thora and a hero for us hunters.”

“The choice is yours.”

He says stepping aside from her and settling on the sofa. Laying on it, pulling up a comforter.

She herself goes back to the bed, lost in thoughts. Not knowing what to do or say.

The lights are switched off and she stares at him sleeping uncomfortably on the sofa set.

Not knowing who to decide?

Volkan or him.

But seeing him protecting her like how he protected her today. She could see that he was a man of words.

He will keep her safe.

Unlike Volkan who threw her into prison and then made her come into the hunters den to be killed.

But the bigger question was till when.

The day Daniel knows that the child in her womb is none other than Volkan’s.

She doubts if Daniel will ever accept it.

But till then, staying here was the only option she had.

Keeping herself and her child safe, her only priority.

…..

Volkan’s pov

“Are you sure Jason?”

“Yes Alpha. Daniel has announced her to be his chosen.”

I barely nod, not able to do or say anything. I should be happy that she will be more close to him now and will tell me about his plans.

But happiness seemed far from me.

I was agitated, bothered and angry.

The very thought of her sharing a room with another man, making a fire to burn in my chest.

“You may leave.”

I barely say, getting up from my seat. And going towards the bar.

Pouring myself a glass. To only push it aside and gulp from the bottle directly.

Will he touch her skin? K**s those lips that only I have claimed till now? Will he mark her…will she forget everything I made her feel.

Fuc* !

I gulp from the bottle again. Seeing those brown eyes that stared at me like I was her everything.

The image of her laying under another man…his fingers sliding in..to touch her there…

DAMMIT!

I curse, throwing aside the bottle. Making it break into pieces.

Running my hand through my hair. My heart thudding rapidly in my chest.

The wolf inside me that hated his mate for being defiled earlier, was even worse than me.

His low grunts audible in my ear, as I feel him going almost crazy in my thoughts.

“Alpha!”

Jason says rushing towards me. While I push him back. Daring him to not come close to me.

“No Jason. Step back.”

“I told you Alpha. Thora didn’t deserve this…she didn’t deserved to be used and thrown out of here like this.”

“The girl truly loved you”

I clench my fists. Almost at the brink of loosing my shit and unleashing on him.

“There is still time Alpha… please call her back. Save her from this… please.”

“I fuc* ing asked you to leave Jason. Get the hell out!”

He doesn’t. Hitting on my soft spots again.

“No Alpha, that’s the truth! Charlotte never deserved to be the queen..”

“I can see you are not happy with her….you can fool others Volkan..but you can’t fool me!”

Charlotte may warm your bed Volkan but she can never warm the place in your heart!”

“And if this continues…trust me Volkan..you may be the strongest man for the outside world but in the inside? You will be broken beyond repair…you will be dead Volkan. Dead!”

That’s it. I grab him from his collar, smashing his frame on the wall behind.

“Isn’t this what you want? Me to be weak so that you take my position Beta?”

“Isn’t this why you want that weak girl to be my mate so that I can easily be defeated?”

Jason looks at me in disbelief. A sad look covering his features as he thrashes in my grip.

“Is this how low you think of me Volkan. I almost pity you right now”

“Shut your trap Beta! Or I will kill you.”

Jason chuckles. My words taking no effect on him.

“I will survive Volkan , but first go and look at yourself in the mirror.”

“The girl is breaking you just like she promised. And you? You still don’t realise her worth , blinded by your mission to defeat to the hunters?”

“Crazy searching for that prophesied one, ignoring your own mate for your selfish reasons?”

“You think I don’t know the true reason of why didn’t choose her as your mate?”

I still. Staring into his eyes. My grip on his collar loosening.

“It’s not that she is defiled… it’s not that she is weak… it’s not that you don’t trust her.”

“There were just baseless excuses you gave her to make her believe.”

He smirks and I clench my fist. Breathing heavily.

“It’s because you want to protect her. Don’t you Alpha?”

He steps closer towards me as I move my head in a no

“It’s because you care for her so much that you fear she will be hurt if she stays with you.”

“No..n…”

He continues to corner me as I feel a heaviness settling in my chest.

“You fear the hunters will kill her…just like they killed your entire family….your brother..your parents.”

“And that’s why you are pushing her towards Daniel. Isn’t it?”

“Because he can keep her safe more than you can…. because you doubt your ability to save her…like you failed to save your parents.”

The images of my family laying dead in front of me, flashes in front of my eyes and I hold my head.

Coming down on my knees.

The pain worsening in my head, making a tear to slide down my eyes.

“You are doing all this because you love her Volkan. Isn’t it?”

I let out the breath caught in my throat. A sob leaving my lips as those memories of loosing my loved ones, made me fear love itself.

“You are so madly in love with her that you are willing to let yourself suffer , just because you want to keep her safe there.”

“Isn’t it Volkan? Answer me dammit!”

He curses, shaking my shoulders and I roar. Not able to stop myself.

“Yes! I love her dammit! I love her! But I will never let her know about it!”

“I am willing to make Volkan King a villain in her life, to make her forget me and live with that Daniel if she has to.”

“But I can’t be a hero and proclaim to save her, when I know the death wolf will kill each and every one of us.”

“If being with the hunters can keep her alive? I am willing to make her hate me forever.”

Jason stills, sadness covering his features as he steps back from him.

He knew his friend…he knew Volkan was doing this for a reason.

And he couldn’t help feel sorry for him.

He has suffered enough, he didn’t deserved to suffer more than this.

“But…but when I see her in his arms. When I imagine them together? I can’t stop myself Jason…I can’t see her with another man.”

My voice softens as I close my eyes, and a tear slides down my eyes.

To only have two arms, wrap around me. As Jason hugs me in his much needed embrace.

“Don’t worry friend. I am always with you. We are in this together and we won’t stop”

“Till we have ended this Prophesy of the thunder wolf.”

“Till we have made this world safe for our werewolves to live.”

I nod, returning back his hug. Hoping for that day to come soon.

Hoping it’s not too late and I had not lost Thora completely till then.

Forgive me Thora. But maybe one day you will understand why I did all this.

Maybe one day, you are alive and happy somewhere in someone’s embrace.

Even if this someone is not me, then.

If only he knew that the girl he was doing everything to protect, was the very one who was the prophesied one.

If only he knew that the death wolf he wanted to kill to protect wolfkind has already taken birth in the womb of his mate.

If only he knew, he was a part of the prophesy himself.
