The Dark Alpha's Salvation

Chapter 12**

The Apex wolf origin tales continue.

"The story of the beastly boy is just part of it, the true story is based on a legend packs now consider a myth. The original Apex wolf Jeremiah Hart is said to have been the wolf the moon goddess had intended to have as her mate that was until in her drunken state the moon goddess paired him with a mortal wolf.
When she awoke and realised what she had done she sort to kill the maiden that was mated to Jeremiah and curse him never to know what love was except when he was in her arms.

But fate rebelled for it was not one to be controlled. The wolf the moon goddess had paired the Apex wolf with was not just any wolf but a rare wolf created out of fate's breath. A maiden whose beauty was beyond words blessed with a crystal wolf that looked like she was sculptured out of ice and with eyes that twinkled like shards of reflected glass, outshining the stars above.

The moon goddess in her jealousy and selfishness lured Jeremiah into meeting her then killed him not content with the idea of him being with someone else. Unknown to the moon goddess his mate was pregnant with their son. The she-wolf died while giving birth but not before cursing the moon goddess, vowing that her son and his sons to come would make the goddess pay for her mate's spilled blood or die trying until one of them eventually does kill her. She poured all her magic into her final words and thus began my story.
After every a hundred years a descendant of Jeremiah Hart turns into the Apex wolf as a gift from fate to seek justice for their forefather. It is now my turn as his descendant and current apex wolf." Dark spoke.

Lara was dumbfounded by Dark's story, what he was saying couldn't be true, "let me see if I got all that right, you're a descendant of the first Apex and also an apex wolf yourself who is on this suicide mission by the way to kill the moon goddess."

Dark nodded then growled "it's not a suicide mission."

"Now it is your turn to be truthful," he spoke calmly but she knew underneath all that calm exterior was a beast waiting to lash out.

Lara didn't know what to do, at one end she had the moon goddess asking for her trust on the other there was her mate offering her a chance at a fresh start with him.

"I'll be honest with you if you answer only one question, how do you know about Karma?."

"It's a puzzle to me too, I can only read her thoughts but I haven't actually seen what she looks like."

"Okay, how about I start with my name, My name is Lara leigh-Ann Moore."

"As in the future Alpha queen?" Dark asked sounding surprised.

"Yes" Lara sighed.

"Redric has been looking for you," Dark smiled, "wait till I rub it in his fickle mind that I bet him to it."

Lara straightened her back cleared her throat, gathered her courage and spoke,"please don't tell Redric about Karma." She took Dark's hand and traced the palm lines. "I am sorry if I am asking a lot from you?."

He did nothing but pull her towards his chest, raised her chin, kissed her forehead then slightly pulled away from her. Either the Moon goddess or Dark was lying, and she was not going to pick a side until she had figured out who was telling the actual truth. But one fact was certain her mate would always come first.

"Fine" Dark groaned after staring at her for a while, "but when he blocks my ass for the rest of eternity you better use these same talented hands to convince him otherwise."

Lara smiled, "of course you're much easier to talk to as opposed to your human insanity case."

She felt a his hand grab her waist ever so gently, but his eyes held a different look, it held warning and promise, "You still haven't told me why you are here Lara, not that I don't enjoy your company." She should have known that question would eventually come at some point and God forbid what he would do if she lied to him.

"I am here to save you, both of you?" She spoke kindly trying to appease him.
