The Two Alphas

[10]

Unknown

Well, I suppose I was right... yet, wrong. That poor Luna was indeed the perfect mother for the boy, but the Alpha, no where near it. The child suffered, and I could not do anything about it. As much as pitied the child, the deal will be fulfilled. The boy did not grow to be strong, therefore, his pack will be cursed. I don't have a choice, it is the only way.

I appeared before the pack house, and casually let myself into the building. I was immediately surrounded by werewolves, growling and snarling at me ready to maul me to death. With ease, I got them off my back with a simple wave of my hand and made my way to the Alpha's studies.

"You!" I heard a man screamed, and I grinned once I made eye contact with Alpha himself, "Why hello again." The Alpha approached me with determination, but stopped right before me and spat, "Have you come to collect?" I shook my head, "No, the boy isn't here. I'm here to do what I should've done the moment you laid your filthy paws on him; curse you." My eyes emanated a bright, menacing Violet glow as I raised up my hands and said the words of the curse.

Prin puterile întunericului, prin incendiile iadului și a furiei diavolului, blestem prin toate terenurile la care stau pentru veșnicie. Până când blestemul va fi ridicat, această țară va suferi pentru totdeauna pentru faptele rele. Doar unul, cu puterea întunericului și voința lunii, va rupe blestemul acesta. Dar numai prin a comemora sacrificiul final.

A gust of wind flew throughout the pack, hitting every member in the face like a hammer. The Alpha, felt weak as he looked down to the floor, and coughed. His eyes widened, realizing he sputtered out blood. "W-What...did you do?!"

I smirked, "You and your pack will suffer for all eternity, but only if the curse is broken. How you break it? Hm, for someone like you... I'll never tell you."

Theo

"Don't you love him?" I asked the almighty King, "This son you speak of. Because to me, it doesn't really sound like you do..." He scoffed, typical for a King. He looked at me in dumbfound, his mouth agape, "Excuse me? Are you accusing me of being a terrible father?"

"No, I'm saying you're not a father at all. To the son you lost, anyways." Marcus nudged me and whispered to me, "What the hell are you thinking?! Do you what to piss the man off?" I looked at Marcus with the hardest glare I could muster and said aloud, "No, I am not trying to anger him I am simply just stating the facts."

"Look Dracula, or your majesty or whatever, but based on what you're saying, you're giving us some pretty vague info here. You what to know he's fine? Is that really the reason? I can tell you love the boy, there's no lie. However what I don't get is that you don't want to confront him once you find him. So why's that? Fearing that your own isn't what you'd expect? Scared that your own son won't accept you? Won't love you the way you do him? What is it exactly that makes you so cautious into meeting him?"

Cloud went up to my ear, and yelled at me through whisper, "Come on Theo, we don't need you to anger this guy more that he already is for coming here. Please, for me?"

"No, I understand completely." Dracula replied, "Here I am, wanting to only know my son is here instead of meeting him. I'm pretty pathetic, aren't I? If you want the truth, fine. I don't think I told this to anyone, not even my general Marcus."

The king shifted in his seat, the tail of his coat sticking between his legs, "It was hours after he was born, my mate Aria, who you know as the Moon Goddess was in bed with me. We were fast asleep, but guards came into our room. The baby was taken, and I managed to track the mage down in seconds. I could've taken my son right from the man's arms and killed him, but... he made a threat." Marcus gasped, his eyes basically growing four times their size, "What sort of threat can a mage say that would get the King of Vampires scared?"

"He had a needle pointed at his head, and said that if I took a step closer he'd inject my son with it. I asked him what he wanted, and he said he wanted to play a game. I'm the seeker, and my baby was the hider. I-I don't remember much, but he said something about giving my son to a couple who couldn't have kids since I already had nine children. He would give my son back when the time was right, but I wasn't allowed to find him. If I did, the poison or curse the mage already placed on my son would be casted and he dies. So, all I want to know is if he's alive and happy. I don't want to know who it is, or he'll die."

"Why didn't you tell us this before, sire? We are loyal servants to you and the Queen, their Goddess." Marcus stated, "Why did you not trust us?"

"I have my reasons," the king replied, "and they're going to stay that way."

"But your reasons aren't good enough." I answered, glaring angrily at him, "You're Dracula, are you not? Despite the threat that was landed to you in the face, you could've saved him. If what the mage said was true, about his curse, then what was the point? He wanted to give the child away, and what good would the child be if dead? You must be pathetic to believe that his curse were true."

It was then, that Marcus grabbed me by the arm roughly and whispered in my ear, "Careful what you say there, Luna. Your mate may be a close friend, but I know when someone is drawing the line."

I looked to Dracula, and I could see the guilt in his eyes as he lowered his head in shame, "Yes, I know what I did was cowardly, and calling me pathetic is an nothing to what I truly should be. No need to remind me, and I accept that fact wholeheartedly. I failed my son, your goddess, and myself. If he were staring at me right in the face, I would most likely run for the hills. I don't deserve to have anything to do with him, after what I had done. Well, more for what I hadn't done. I was a coward, heck, maybe I still am."

Spell Translation: By the powers of darkness, the fires of hell and fury of the Devil, I hereby curse the very lands I stand upon for eternity. Until the curse is lifted, this land shall forever suffer for it's evil deeds. Only one, with the power of darkness and the will of the moon shall break this curse. But only, by commiting the ultimate sacrifice.
