Chapter Diego

Episode 40

Location: Black eagles hunters clan

Alex POV.

Extremely bothered over Kara's silence after numerous bangs and knocks on her door,I break open the lock.

Her room's untidy environment hangs my lips agape.

Her wardrobe wide ajar,clothes roughly littered, cosmetics scattered and poured and floor lack efficient cleaning and mopping.

This certainly is unlike Kara.

She's always extremely neat and ensures I remain same.

Am always scolded at my littered room. She's obviously not against her scoldings is she?.

"Kara..?" I search for her through the stuffy room.

"Show yourself kara,quit hiding" I call again.

Slight sobs and whimpers within a huge cloth heap catches my attention.

The largest clothes heap for specifications.

"Kara!" I scatter the cloth heap.

Beneath the heaps,she lay broken and whimpers.

Her pink coloured nighties stinch tears and catarrh and please washing.

"Come over here.." I pull her to her bed.

"Not Damien is it?" I ask,she nods.

I definitely couldn't stop my eye roll. Her obsession over the alpha prince is pretty creepy and annoying. Phyciatrist's and mental specialists may be required if situation worsens.

"Okay kara,what now,it's obvious Damien and not Dolan nor Tyler's death" I inquire reluctantly.

"Today ends his trial days and mate hunt. He's trial days are over without a mate and it's all my fault. He failed and lost the alpha throne all courtesy to me. I never should've accepted Tyler's deal. I failed him" she weep.

Oh geez,that's her weeping source!?.how long can her cope and endure her weepings?.

Definitely hope plans with Drake stride as anticipated and her consistent weepings neutralized.

"It's not your fault kara" I encourage.

"Obviously it is.." she whimper.

"Certainly it's not. Your decision rescued i and even Damien" I convince.

Gonna loose it if her whimpers continues. Previously they sounded adorable but currently old and less funny.

"My decision murdered him Alex"

"The alpha throne is his life and my decision cost him the alpha throne. It cost him his life,am such a terrible mate. I don't deserve him" she weeps on my shoulders.

Another eye roll follows.

What wierd love and mate both do they share.

"You're wrong kara,he dosent deserve you. You traded your virginity and prized possession for his safety,an act fellow females term impossible. You transformed an impossible act possible and if he condems and despises you for your sacrifice then really he deserves you not"I speech.

Oh geez,how deeply I currently despise myself.

Emotional speech currently sours my tongue.

Seems my taste buds are gone as this previous speech was pretty lengthy.

"Thanks alot" she sniff on my shoulder.

Yeah great, thanks for ruining my taste buds.

"Never forget Drake's so called advice prevented your visitation. His throne loss clearing ain't your fault,it's obviously nature's doing" I add.

"Yeah you're right. Thanks alot Alex,you really are a good friend" she pulls me into a hug.

Yeah am a good friend and my negative actions are beneficial to us both.

Really I deserve feigning and acting awards

Tricking ones best and child hood friend for weeks ain't easy.

Kara understands me. She easily detects my lie but recently my acting heightened and am undetectable.

Location:Red blood pack

Drake's POV.

Ryker seems displeased by rapid events turn out's and numerous questions proves his rage and unhappiness.

Regardless his rage,he need accept it. His emotions are currently my least worries and concerns.

"Our mate bond misses,why so?" He expresses first discomfort.

"Because she ain't our actual mate!" I explain.

"What!?. How then is she our mate?" His discomfort continues.

I sigh.

His reactions were anticipated but detailed explanation likely might ease his rage.

"You see, discovering our mate within the thirty days trial is impossible but I crave the alpha throne. It needs be mine. So rather adhering my forged and bribed rule,I outsmarted the council elder. A visit to the priest along side certain assurance earn me a spell".

"What spell?" His curiosity continues.

"Artificial mate bond" I chuckle deviously.

Fun part within my explanation finally arrives.

"My hair strand combined with numerous unknown chemicals and spells brews and artificial mate bond".

"When injected the artificial mate bond,a temporary and man made bond occurs between I and the vessel" I explain.

"Temporary?. How temporary is it?" He inquire.

"Lengthy enough to fool the elders and ascend the alpha throne".

Despise unborthered by ryker's emotions,his continous and suspicious questions bothers me and I hope he accepts the idea and remains cool with it.

"Certainly am not cool with it!" He reads my thoughts.

"It's the only solution and our one step to the alphas throne" I persuade.

"Yeah I crave and desire the alpha throne but what we wolves desire most is a moonly chosen mate,not some man made and chemically combined mate bond!" He rages.

His inner tone coarse and with held pure rage. They crack and tremble at every statement. Rage and hurt lingers his words.

How clearly displeased he feels towards my plan.

For once since birth and togetherness,he objects and stands against my plan.

"Little sacrifice for salvation" I add.

"You claimed our mate's whereabouts,where then Is she or were your words genuine lies?* He rages further.

His rage heightens at ever questions. More rage and he may deny me access to his abilities.

Hope such never occurs.

"Relax Ryker but honestly they were lies" I sigh shamefully.

Shameful at dishonesty towards my very wolf.

"How could you!?" He rages painfully.

"The lies were perfect stages within the plan. The lies purpose were heightening your anticipation for our mate. Anticipation for ones mate brews love and that love despite being ingenuie is required towards our fake mate" i explain further,his sighs deeply.

Deep heavy sighs withholding pain, anguish, betrayal and hurt's.

He's deeply hurt and I was wrong. He's emotions are important and currently they're my second major worries and concerned.

"Whereabouts over our mate's were all lies" he whispers.

"You schemed this intentionally. You sechemed this all with out my knowledge and consent.How and when were these sechemed excluding my knowledge?" I ask,I remain silent.

"Answer me!!" He yells.

Further explanation certainly would worsen situations and ruin laid plans.

Set backs and delays amidst fluent plans are pretty annoying and enraging but repaired friendship with Ryker also is important as appropriate and healthy relationship with one's werewolf is also essential before throne ascension.

"A question deserve responses Damien!" His find grits.

"These were all sechemed the day I obstructed our conversation pathway" my voice lowers.

Flash back.

Location: Black eagles hunters clan

Drake's POV.

Exiting the royal cottage after obstructing Ryker and I conversation pathway,I head towards the packs out skirt boundaries.

A pack region where certain possiblities ascending the alpha throne lies.

Arriving the farest out skirts close to the clans boundaries,I place knocks on a hazardous black coloured cottage.

It's appearance unpleasant and sorroundings littered.

Obvious it's the cottage of the clans priest.

"My prince?" The door swings open at the verge of another knock.

I cough.

Unpleasant herby and powdery dusts stinch my nostrils.

"Am really sorry my prince.i wasn't expecting visitors" he ushers into his cottage.

Showcasing hospitality,he offers comfort on a dusty and irritating sofa.

"Feel at home" he points towards the sofa.

He dosent expect I seat on those does he?. Am royalty for the mom goddesses sake,I lean on gold and priceless materials,not dusty aged sofa's.

"Thanks alot but I'll stand" i reject.

"Suit yourself" he frowns slightly at my rejection.

Eye scanning his unkept sitting room, hung red and black dusty fabrics like wise wierd artificial screams ancient.

Being a priest certainly ain't fun.

"So to what do I owe this unexpected visit my prince" he leans unborthered on the dusty chair.

The priest is a late sixties aged,wrinkled faced,while haired and hunched back.

"A simple concoction" I reply,he laughs.

His laughter reveals his brown coloured coloured tooth's and canines.

"A simple is everyone desires"he laughs further.

"Well am different. Mine is extremely simple" I separate myself.

"If you say so, what concoction does the prince desire?" he inquires.

"As everyone knows,Damien's trial days attains it peak and am next. Anyways I doubt locating my mate within these few days is possible so I need a solution and few magical boosts".

"How then am I in the picture?" He questions dumbly.

"An artificial mate bond!" He gasp.

Fright replaces his expression and obvious his next words are negative and never positive.

"The artificial mate bond is no mere spell nor concoction".

I roll my eyes.

Definitely saw his boring speech coming.

"It works against the moon goddesses laid rule's. Mixed wrong and one may permanently lose his or her wolf" he warns.

Associated effects and disadvantages are my least worries.

The throne remains my goal and my goal i certainly must attain.

"Associated repacuations are my least worries Diego (The priest). You're the packs priest,third most powerful after the Luna,you're certainly immune to mistakes" I praise.

Praise's might heighten his confidence and encourage his assistance.

"Thanks alot for the praise's and compliments alpha Drake but it's a no" He burst my bubbles.

"The artificial mate bond spell is an unstable and moon goddesses raging spell. I really am sorry prince Drake but never will I risk infuriating and incurring the moon goddesses wrath and plaques" he clarifies his decision.

My expression darkens at his words.

My gaze cringes and breathing thickens.

Heaving deep breaths,I realized my hidden morphed fist.

"Huge benefits follows this requests" I persuade,he chuckle's.

"What benefits have you which suits my desires?. Am a living god alpha Drake. The ancient spirits dwells within me. I pull rain from the clouds, spiritually battle demons,hea numerousl sicknesses…".

"All sicknesses expect your daughters" I interrupt.

Diego's daughter habours a wired and unrecognizable sickness an alpha blood alone cures.

Our alliance for my alpha blood. That's obviously the deal.

"I ..i..have zero idea where you're heading prince Drake" he stammers and avoid eye collins.

Typical feigned attitude towards salvation. I huff.

"Quit pretence Diego. I've researched you. I have researches on you and your daughters cure is your greatest desire. A cure endlessly and continuously surfing through my veins.".

"You never requested the Alpha's blood because nothing goes for nothing. Well here's your chance. You've got something important in exchange for my blood.

Accept my deal and rescue your dying daughter" I persuade.

Gazing patiently into his overwhelmed expression, satisfaction gradually roam my veins.

He'll definitely accept the offer,he lacks hope and choices.

Certain times,violence ain't the solution but smooth and calm persuasion serves best.

"Am in.." he accepts,I grin.

"Your hair strand and a feminine vessel for is concoction is required" he lists required materials.

"No probs. Keep this,find a vessel and prepare the concoction" I shove my hair strand into his palm.

Current day

Drake's POV.

"You sechemed this all behind me?!" Ryker's expresses rage and hurt.

"Excluding you was a difficult choice. Your current reaction sourced your exemption. I predicted your enraged reaction and concluded your exclusion serves best" I explain.

"Good thing you anticipated my rage because am never accepting an artificial mate bond" he huffs.

Heaving silently,I face palm myself.

How daft is he?. How blind is he not viewing this from my perspective. This and every future actions are beneficial to us both. I'll definitely earn his praise's after ascending the Alpha's throne.

Observing Diego's likewise the vessels wierd stares,my expression darkens from embarasment.

"Wolf problems?" He questions,I nod.

Wolf's conversations remains secretive.

Outsiders views one's demostrations and body movements rather shared conversation remains sound proof.

"Ignore my wolf,continue the process!" I order.

"No!" Ryker yells within.

Grappling the tied whimpering female she wolf, Diego hastily injects a reddish brown substance into her neck region.

Reacting quickly,she jerks uncontrollably to the floor, roaring at passing seconds.

"Now that's a positive sign" I grin.
