You are my seeker. I have chosen you for this power. You've been through many trials and you will be my seeker for the time to come. I will contact you again soon when I need you. Do not fight your destiny. The voice said.

The light faded away and I felt myself coming back.



I woke up in our bed. I was soaking wet. Marcus had a warm towel on my head. Molly was at the end of the bed along with Mia.

"Marcus?" I groaned. "What the he'll happened? How long have I been passed out?"

"Only a few minutes. I'm not sure what happened." He said taking the towel off. "You were laying on the floor and didn't answer when I called for you. What do you remember?"

"I was in the shower." I said "And then everything went black and there was a voice talking to me."

"A voice?" Marcus raised a brow.

"Call me crazy but the voice called itself  The Moon. It said that I was It's seeker." I said.

"It's not crazy. Look at your bicep." He smiled.

On my bicep was a large black tattoo. A crescent moon and two blue rain drops was fresh on my skin.

"Where did that come from?" I asked.

"The moon." Mia said. "She's chosen you as a warrior for Moon Rain."

"What does that mean?" I asked. "I'm not strong enough."

"It means she has a plan for you. You'll be part of her plan." Molly said.

"She said I'm her seeker." I said.

Molly and Mia gasped. Marcus raised his brow in confusion.

"Whats a seeker?" Me and Marcus said at the same time.

"Basically it means you're the moons delivery boy in a way." Mia said, "She gives you knowledge and you use it to do what she wants to happen. But Kay.. if you don't, there's grave consequences."

"I don't get it." I said. "What kind of things does she want me to do?"

"She'll tell you." Marcus said.

"Marcus. Can we talk? Alone?" I asked.

Marcus nodded and Mia and Molly left. I sat up on the bed and cross crossed my legs. Marcus sat in front of me.

"Tell me about your dad." I asked.

"What do you wanna know?" He rose a brow.

"What kind of a ruler was he?" I asked.

He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed.

"When my mom was alive, everything was easy. The other packs would come by and everyone was able to get along. There were less fights and more people were able to find their mates at these parties that we threw." Marcus was speaking really deep.

I could tell this was hard for him.

"How did your mom die?" I gathered up the courage and asked.

"She got sick. I think it was cancer but my dad only told me she got sick. After she died, my father started sleeping around, he stopped throwing kingdom parties, and became a complete asshole. He even stopped talking to me because he said I reminded him of mom." Marcus said, his voice cracking.

I was trying to stop the lump in my throat from causing me to cry.

"My dad got a few She wolves pregnant. Making a bunch of their mates pissed. He ended up killing all of them and the females he impregnated. Except for Alpha Nathan, my father let him live but Alpha Nathan killed his own mate. That's why we're on the brink of war. Because of what my father has done all these years. I've been in training for the last 15 years, no ones seen me in forever. They think I'm just like my dad. And honestly... I don't blame them. I might have ended up being like him if I hadn't met you." Marcus said. "I wanted to be the best so I could defeat anyone who came my way. In result I became a killing machine. I've killed all my challengers, female and male. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve the throne, I don't deserve a mate."

I couldn't stop the tears from falling and I let them fall.

"I love you for who you are, who you've been, and who you want to be. Like Molly told me once, you are who you choose to be." I said holding his face in my hands.

"I wanna tell you everything Kay. No more secrets." He said taking my hands and kissing my knuckles.

"I went to your house. Your dad was there." He sighed.

"What do you mean? You lied to me?" I was instantly mad.

"Yes.. only because I've been trying to figure this out on my own without putting you in more danger." He said.

"I want to fight for myself Marcus. Let me okay?" I sighed.

"Okay, but I won't let you fight for yourself literally if I know you'll lose." He smirked.

"I'm not there yet but I will be. I need more training." I smiled. "Tell me what happened with my dad."

"He said he doesn't know where you went. He said he filed a police search for you and asked me to tell you something if I knew where you were at." He said. "Also.. I may have choked him against a wall when I first saw him."

"What did he want to say Marcus?" I was antsy.

"He said that he's sorry he didn't tell you that he and Elaine didn't tell you that you were adopted." Marcus said. "He also said that he left Elaine because he thought she was going to use you for something that she wouldn't tell him."

Could it be true? Did he not know who Elaine actually was? Was he enchanted? Was Corey also enchanted? Or was this all just a big trick to get me again? I wanted to talk to my dad and Corey. Here. Where they can't take me.

"I want to talk to them." I said.
