Change Of Fate

Chapter - 29 Fucking Fate

MIKAEL'S POV

We covered the journey of 2 and half hrs to The Blessed Moon Pack in less than 2 hrs. We technically raced up here. We all had our cars parked and entered the Royal Palace. Our arrival was announced. As soon as we entered, my nostrils were struck with the awful smells of the werewolves present here, among those disgusting smells, there is this fragrance of wet soil, forests, something woodsy, but I can barely concentrate at it. From my ability to smell, what I can deduce is that the source of the scent of wet soil is different and the source of forest and woodsy scent is different. Some connection..............very confusing. So many werewolves at the same place, I was disgusted. I almost gagged.

"What happened big brother?" Marrisa asked me, happen to have seen me scrunching my nose.
"Nothing... Nothing. " I hurriedly replied.
She made a questioning face at me first, but then not able to see through me she just let it be. I took a big sigh, and recovered my exterior.
"Try to relax a bit Mika. I know it is difficult but that is the only thing we can do right now. We will be getting outta here soon." Alicia tries to console me.
"Mm mm. I know little sweetness." I reply.
"Brother is your wolf still not responding to you?" Asked James.
"No.... He isn't." I replied. Skoll hasn't replied to any of my calls, but just now while smelling that woodsy fragrance, that forest smell he stirred in my mind. Still not responding, but not completely cut out like since morning. I happen to have guessed the reason of his stirring, but I want my intuitions to be false.

I look around to take my mind off of my intuition, the hall is large, utterly large, and gold, and the ceilings and walls are covered in beautiful murals. The pillers with magnificent carvings. The decorations..... Ah... They look expensive. They are expensive. Everything in order. As expected of the Imperial family.

"Mika.... Look, there is a depictions of the of the story of the devourer of the sun.... Isn't that the story you used to tell when I was younger." Alicia told excitedly. I looked up to where she was pointing and saw those murals, it was a depiction of the devourer of the sun. The whole story of how Hati fell in love with white wolf, the curse of the Moon Goddess, the sacrifice of the white wolf and everything else. It was beautiful, as if real, happening in front of me. Skoll stirred again, feeling the same connection as me to what the murals depicts. I feel all the sounds in my surroundings fade, the environment around me no more holds me in it.

I don't know if it's some kind of vision or just my delusion when I see those figures in the murals move. The white wolf pouncing everywhere in the cosmos, happily, with freedom not bound by anything or anyone. But someone is there staring at him intently, longingly , a soldier dressed in black standing at the doors of the Moon Temple. The white wolf gives that someone a joyful smile, which is returned by a more happy one from that someone.

The scenes change to the both of them having the best time with each other. From one to another. From kissing each other to being wrapped around each other, clinging to one another. The vision coverts into that of a storm. The Moon Goddess cursing the one person clad in black who was the white wolf's lover, then everything starts to blur in front of my eyes, as the scent of wet soil fills my nose leaving little place for other scent of forest which is also unyielding to the scent of wet soil. I am pulled back from my visions to hall of imperial Palace, where the coronation is going on.

I move towards the source of the scent following it a bit, hearing Alicia and James calling me from behind and trying to follow me. I move through the crowd to find the source of the scent to be a boy, a little boy who must be no more the 10 years old, and find the boy to be staring straight at me, right through my eyes, into my soul. I freeze finding the boy to look so similar to me when I was young. We both look into each other's eyes for a couple of more seconds when I am yanked backwards and James asks me where I was going all of a sudden, when everyone is back where we were already standing earlier. I don't answer him, I just turn back and see that the boy is not there now, I look around but cannot find him.

"Mika what happened? Where did you run off to like that? And why?" I am still trying to find the boy while I say, "Alicia it... It was.... Nothing... Call Vanessa, I need to talk to her. Now" I look her in the eye while saying the last line.
Alicia looks straight back at me, then nods her head and opens her purse to find her phone. James is looking at me with a confused face, an expected reactions to my actions.
"I'll let you know everything when it's the right time. Don't worry." I reassure him while Alicia calls Vanessa. She puts the call on speaker. The moment I hear Hello from Vanessa I kind of snatches the phone from Alicia and walks towards the balcony. Alicia and James try to follow me but I stop them from doing so and asks them to wait for me. They comply with my words, while I walk outside towards the balcony.

"Hello Mike ! Is everything alright? " Vanessa asks.Her voice full of worry. Instead of replying to her question I fire a question to her. "Vanessa, you told me that Victor was adopted by a werewolf couple, from which pack were they? " There is a long pause and I wait patiently for her reply. After what seems like an eon she says, "what? " I press me temples hard and repeat my question, "Vanessa from which pack were the couple from who adopted my Victor?"
"Mike why are you asking this all of a sudden. You told not to tell you anything about this, but now why are you opening old wounds that are not even fully healed?" She asks again. "What in the seven hells is actually going on there Mika? Tell me something for fuck's sake?" She urges me to answer her question.
"I will tell what is happening but first tell me the name of their pack? " She sighs, realizing that I will not tell her anything until she tells me what I want.
"The Blessed Moon Pack. The imperial Pack. The pack that directly comes under the Alpha Kings rule. Now tell me what happened. " She finally speaks. The phone almost slips from my hand, my knees give out from the shock and I grip the railings very hard that they somewhat bent. I am in shock. That boy, he was Victor. He was my son. That is why I was pulled towards him and his scent didn't disgusts me cause he is my own. I try to get a hold of my thoughts and emotions but a tear escapes my eyes and trickles down my cheek.
"He is here Vanessa. " I tell her.
"I am at The Blessed Moon Pack, Vanessa. " I tell again.
"I saw him..............He saw me....... He looks just like me Vanessa, it felt as if looking at my younger self in a mirror........ He knows everything Vanessa. I saw it in his eyes. He is fully aware of his origins. " Vanessa is silent as she listen to my words. I lean on the balcony wall and look inside the hall and saw that the coronation has already started through the soundproof glass doors of the balcony. The Royal Betas collecting the blood. Previous monarch handing over the responsibilities to the current one......
"Everything will be just fine. Don't give too much thought to it. " She told me.
