Chapter 13 EZEKIEL
EZEKIEL
I've not slept so well before and I hate the fact it is because I slept with Dalia in my arms. After seeing that message last night. I tried so hard to sleep, but I couldn't. Erik was making it hard too. He makes so many scenarios of someone going into the room where Dalia is and choke her to death. She's weak at the moment and asleep, so it's easy for someone to kill her.
I tried my best to stop thinking about her and fall asleep but I couldn't. I don't know how it happened but I found myself in her room. Erik took control of me and surprisingly I allowed him. I realized that he was not the only one scared, I was too. Having her in my arms while I sleep brought so much calmness to me.
Her intoxicating scent was so soothing, and the spark from our body pressed together made me feel peaceful. I held her so close as if I let her go, someone would take her from me. In no time I fell asleep.
I don't know when she will be awake since she has been sleeping for hours, but my plan is to leave the room before she wakes up. Unfortunately I overslept and she woke up before me. I told her that it was Erik's fault. I lied because I didn't even fight Erik when he made me go to her room.
I groan in frustration as I run my palm through my face. “What the fuck is wrong with me.”
This is why I will make sure she leaves as soon as possible. I can't allow this to go on. She said accepting the mate bond will help her fulfil the destiny of stopping the war but I don't give a fuck.
I won the war one hundred years ago. If another war comes, I will still win. I don't need Selene and her daughter. Wherever those fuckers are hiding, whether they are working with the witches or not. I will find them all, and destroy them.
The first step is to find the person that sent that anonymous message. They must know something that will help. I called the head of my IT team
“Have you gotten anything?”
“The person that sent the message is a genius. He didn't leave any trail behind.” He replies.
“Continue digging. You must find out who that fucker is,” I says sharply.
“Yes Alpha.”
I end the call and continue working. After leaving the guest room where Dalia is. I freshen up and walk to my office to bury myself in work because that's the only way to distract myself from thinking about her. I instructed a few omegas to take food and water to her. And also some clean clothes and bathing supplies.
I placed guards in front of her room, and instructed them not to let her out. I don't know where she will wander if she leaves that room. The only time she will leave the room is if she's ready to leave my pack. Which I know it will be so difficult to make her do. Starving her for three days didn't help. What makes me think that locking her up in a room will.
And I'm scared to send her back to that dungeon again or even starve her. What if those fuckers comes back and I can't save her. The thought brings unnecessary panic to my heart.
Fuck!
I think the more she stays here, the stronger this bond is. I need to think of the right way to make her leave since I can't even hurt her or kill her.
A knock comes on my door. “Come in.”
The door creaks open and Creigh enters. He has been looking into the attacks that happen in the lower packs. We place extra securities there, but we know that's not enough. We need to know the source of the attacks.
Creigh is a werewolf but a very strong one. He's even supposed to be an Alpha since he's from an Alpha blood line, but he decides to be my Gamma. A lycan is supposed to be my Gamna, but I chose Creigh. He's not only strong, but intelligent. I don't regret making him my Gamma.
“Any new information?” I ask.
“Some warriors from the Crescent moon pack lost their wolves after fighting some strange creatures.” He replies as he sits opposite me.
“Strange creatures?” I raise my brows. “Are they in anything related to the ones that attacked yesterday?”,
“No. From the description they gave us, they are different. There were just three of them, but they managed to take down ten warriors. Five died. Five that survived lost their wolves. None of the creatures were killed. They retreated. I have a sketch of the creature.” He brings out a sketch paper and spreads it on the table.
I take a closer look at it and recognize the creature from one hundred years ago. “A hellhound”
I killed them all. Why do they still exist
“Do you know it?”
Creigh was not yet born when the war took place. These creatures were made by the devils. They are brutal. We lost a lot of warriors because of them.
“The devils used them in the war one hundred years ago.” I reply as I tugs the paper away. “We need to gather more information on this creature. It is not something we can ignore.”
“We still don't know anything about the ones that attacked yesterday. Why do I feel there's something coming?”
War?
Those fuckers…. Maybe they are back. I thought I sent them back to hell forever. How do they manage to come back? They may be working with the witches as Dalia said. If war is really coming, we need to be ready.
‘And we need Dalia.’ Erik cuts in.
‘I don't need her. I will figure out how to send those fuckers back to hell forever in my own way.’
“I know that I shouldn't pry into your personal life, but that prisoner….. is she really your mate. Why did those creatures go after her? If I understand what's going on. It will help in my investigation.”
I sigh. Creigh is my Gamma and one of the few people I trust. I've known him for years and he has been so loyal to me. I don't need to keep him in the dark.
“Yes she's my mate, and those creatures were here for her.” I reply “I know you heard about the rumor that I was cursed not to have a mate. It was lifted years ago but Selene. She said that I will be mated to her daughter and I will help her fulfil her destiny. According to her daughter, Dalia, her destiny is to stop an upcoming war between the devils and us.”
“But you won against the devils and sent them back to hell.”
“I did, but they are coming back. Or maybe they are here already. It explains the hellhound. There was magic on the creatures that attacked yesterday. Maybe the witches are working with the devils. Guess they are not extinct.” I explained.
“I think finding the witches who are helping the devils will be a great step in stopping this war.”
“That won't be easy. Witches are very cunning.”
“Your mate, how does she plan on stopping the war?”
“She said that we will figure it out if I accept the mate bond. But I won't accept Selene’s daughter as my mate,” I replied curtly. Creigh doesn't know why I hate Selene and he hasn't asked unlike Nikolai who always asks.
“Will you reject her?”
“Of course not. It will weaken me. I will make her leave so don't see her as my mate or your Luna because she won't be one.”
He nods. “Okay. I will continue my investigation and if there's any new development, I will let you know.”
“Yeah.”
After he left. One of the guards I placed to watch Dalia said that she's escaped from the room.
Damn that little monster!
