Wolf Deity's Mate

Marcus Salvatore

Marcus POV:

I woke up 2 years ago after being asleep for 116 years. I wondered what has awakened me when I never intended to wake up at all. I have lived with the humans and the werewolves for thousands of years to maintain balance and co-existence of both beings and to protect them from each other. But through those millennia, I have grown tired of their consistent discontentment, greediness and betrayals. The never ending hunger for power and wealth continued to consume them, friends turning enemies, families becoming rivals. Wars became prevalent and deaths were everywhere.

They say werewolves were superior than humans, but I tend to disagree. Werewolves maybe superior in strength, senses and power but humans are smarter. They can evolve and create massive technologies, powerful enough to eliminate their enemies. The death in the werewolf clans escalated significantly. They started to be outnumbered, some chose to ran away and were in hiding. Some continued to fight leading to their packs' total annihilation.

I decided to step in to restore the balance between them. But to my total disappointment, that has been a bait. The people whom I have considered friends, aware of my powers and the very nature of my existence, have been plotting the events and have been studying me for years in order to capture me for the sole purpose of extracting the supernatural powers I have and to claim it as their own. They attempted to hold me in captive but with my uncontrolled rage and the pain of betrayal I felt, I have gone mad and eliminated them all instead.

I have lost faith in them. I have been hurt. I have lost the purpose of my existence.

So I decided to quit and just sleep for the rest of eternity in the hidden basement of my old castle in Monte Carlo.

But to my astonishment, 116 years later, I suddenly woke up. It's as if a new life has been given to me. The heavens must be playing with me.

Marcus Salvatore was the name given to me by an old man when I descended to the human world thousands of years ago. I was once a deity of the wolves residing in the heavens but I was punished to descend and was cursed to forget my sin and to never return to the deity's world. It was an eternal damnation of living a very lonesome life. I never aged. I've been a 20-years old looking young man since the day I remembered.

When I awoke, there were only few who remembered me. They were descendants of the some few werewolf friends I had who remained faithful back in the day. They were told to respect and obey me when the comes that I will return. One of them was Leonardo Raviz, head of the Raviz Clan, the strongest Alpha in the North. I have requested that my true identity must be hidden, and that I don't intend to resume my duties as the protector. He then suggested that I can attend this school along with his son, Aaron. I decided to agree since I have no plans to leave yet. So I have been in this school for almost 2 years, sitting around, pretending to attend classes, just wasting my time. Funny thing though, they have added 'Reign' in my name in the school registrar to make it sound more modern.

The kids in this school feared and respected me from the very first day I came here. Maybe the Raviz, founders of the school, used their influence and have instructed everyone to do so. Nobody dared to approach me, except for Aaron. But in a school where almost 50% are werewolves, I can link with their minds and hear what they're thinking without them knowing. Werewolves of the same pack can do so with each other when they transform, while I can with every one of them even in their human form. Humans however are exemption; I can't search through their minds but I can control them at a distance.

However, something I have never anticipated happened three days ago.

I was sitting at the rooftop, hitting my cigarette when I caught a scent, a very unfamiliar one. Napatayo ako sa kinauupuhan ko. I felt my body being dragged to track where the scent was coming from, I couldn't control it. The scent was so strong making my heart beats abnormally faster. I have never felt anything like that before.
