Prophecy

18

Grayson began yelling orders.

"Where is it coming from? Where is it!" He yells.

I watch my mate cautiously. His piercing eyes were alerted. I watch the veins on his arms and neck pop out. His muscles tense and cling to his tight shirt.

"Gray, calm down." I tell him.

I place my hand on the back of his hand. He calms down for about 3 seconds before he starts yelling at me.

"Lily why are you here. Go back to the pack house!" He says angrily.

I can feel his side of the mating bond and begin to panic when all the negative emotions hit me. But, I started thinking. I'm going to be a Luna and I need to start acting like one. If someone is hurt, I have to help.

This protective instinct overcame me. So I concentrated on the metallic scent of blood. It was coming from the West Wing and the South Wing. But, the blood smelled stronger in the West Wing. I mind linked Jacob and Grayson to follow me.

The two angry and concerned men jogged towards me and the 3 of us walked through the West Wing.

"Marco." I whispered.

Grayson sighs and Jacob laughs and replies with a "pollo".

What? I thought it would lighten the moment. This pack has been through so much since... forever. When is my welcoming ceremony anyways? I'm really hoping for a party soon.

As I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts, we heard whimpering.

And lots of blood. It looked like a scene from Carrie.

I stared at the lifeless body in front of me. The man's limbs were separated and thrown around the room. This clothes were ripped off and his bare body had scratches and bite marks. But, what caught my attention was the symbol on this forehead.

It was an oval and inside of the oval was a half moon. The symbol looked like it was branded on him. My heart dropped at the sight of the room.

"What happened." Grayson orders the girl on the ground to speak.

Her blonde hair was a mess. The girl's brown eyes bore into Grayson's with so much pain. I tried looking away.

"M-my mate. I was about to g-go to dinner and saw him like this." She sobs. The girl tries to explain more but she just kept on choking.

While the guards were on their way, Jacob, Grayson and I tried to get answers from the girl. I couldn't take it anymore so I told Grayson that I was going to take her with me. It took hours for her to let her dead mate's body go. But when she did let go, I took that opportunity to pull her into a hug. I took her to a spare room and whispered sweet nothings until she fell asleep.

"Hey." My mate whispers.
I watch him slowly push his hair back. I looked at his tired eyes hung low and his clothes was covered in blood. He must have cleaned up the body.

"Jacob can take the girl from here."

"But I want to stay with her." I whined.

"It's been a long day."

"She lost a mate Grayson. I can't imagine if I ever lost you."

Gray's eyes shot up. Did I just say that?! Oh great, my mate now knows that I have a crush on him.

But of course I would have a crush on him regardless. We're mates!

He looks at me with gleaming eyes.

"You like me Lillian Sandres." He says with a playful smirk.

"In your dreams butt face."

He softly chuckles but then turns his attention on the girl that was clung to my body.
Grayson sighs. I didn't know if it was a bad or good sigh.

"You're not going to win this battle with me today Lily. Go to your room. It's still dangerous out."

As much as I would have liked to argue with him, I couldn't. I didn't want to wake the girl up.

So I slowly got up and Jacob placed her head on a pillow. Grayson walked towards me to examine if I was hurt. Then, he placed his arms around me and we started walking to my room.

I felt tingles the whole way there.

We stopped in front of my door and turned towards each other.

"I'm sorry about today." He says shamefully.

I wrinkled my nose. "You had nothing to do with it."

"I did."

What? Was Grayson apart of the attack? Did he plan it? I took a step back at look at him is disgust. And as I was about to say something, he opens his mouth first.

"No no no. I didn't do this. I would never hurt anyone in this pack." He explains.

"Then what?"

"The symbol on the man's forehead. It's an ancient symbol that goes back to the first ever packs created."

I stare at him blankly.

"It's bad blood between it, you wouldn't understand."

"But I want to understand" I whisper.

He looks at me with those loving eyes again. I stared at him for what seems like hours. It felt like we were in a trance. His head turns to the side and he leans towards me. I follow his movements. And slowly, our lips touch.

His kiss was like candy. I wasn't suppose to give in, but I did.

He sadly pulls away as I whimper for more. Then, Grayson pulls me into a hug.

"You'll be safe in here. I'll have someone guard your room." He says.

I roll my eyes.

"Hey, stop with the attitude." He says with a smirk.

"Goodnight Grayson."

"Goodnight Pumpkin."

Then, he left.

I take a quick shower then jump into bed. I don't know why anyone would have attacked us and got into the pack in the first place. But, I will find out.
