CHAPTER 22 - THE CHOSEN DIETIES
“You better find my mate or I will rip your head off!” He snarled to the guard who left in total fear seeing their new Alpha totally disturbed and couldn’t control his temper.
"Diana is your mate?" Marco was first to speak.
"Yes Dad." He confirmed.
"Since when did you know she's your mate?" Axelia turned to ask.
"At the bite ritual." Tyrone confessed totally embarrassed.
"Why didn't you tell me you found her when we introduced you?" Alpha’s voice boomed.
"Because I... thought she's with Marcel and... I told her that I don't want her." Tyrone speaks slowly.
"You did what?!" Marcel yelled this time.
"You better not tell me you rejected my sister or I swear Alpha or not I'll rip you apart." Marcel threatened him.
"Tyrone you didn’t reject her don’t you?" Luna Axelia emphasized every word.
"I..." Tyrone can't even finish his words.
"You son of a bitch I will kill you!" Marcel lunged at him.
Before he knew it, Marcel shifted on his grey wolf and Tyrone remained stoic after recognizing the fur color. Grey wolves are the last descendants of great wolfs that he read from the history book. On instinct, Tyrone shifted on his red wolf just to defend his side from the attack.
"Marcel! Tyrone! I command you to stop this insolence now!” Alpha Marco stands in between and hold Tyrone.
Two guards immediately held Marcel while Axelia threw pair of boxers and let them shift back to human form.
"Forgive me Marco, Axelia but this asshole just made me lose control." Marcel lowered his head.
"I understand what you feel Marcel." Marco takes his side this time.
"Tyrone, apologize to your Beta Now!" His mother demanded.
"What?! He attacked me first!!" Tyrone shots back.
"Don't use that tone on your mother! Did you forget the word respect?! You might be the Alpha but I sure can take that position back from you!" His father showed dissatisfaction towards him.
"Did Diana accept your rejection?!" His mother gets riled up too.
"She did this morning.” Tyrone admitted.
"You don't even know what you have done to Diana!! She could die in a month!" His mom has a pissed off tone.
The revelation puts Tyrone on the verge of suicidal for risking his own mate’s life because of his stupidity. He was supposed to protect her not to be harm but after today, he was the one who caused that remarkable pain.
"I'm sorry Marco but I can't accept his apology he doesn't even know what he did to my sister considering he is an Alpha." Marcel glare at him with pure hatred.
"Tyrone, I'm very disappointed with your action as punishment I will strip down your Alpha title." His father decided accordingly to the pack law.
"If anything happens with my sister before her birthday Moon Goddess forgives me but I kill you with my bare hands, you are not worthy to be an Alpha of this pack." Marcel keeps his eyes contact with him.
"It's my entire fault and I will accept every punishment Dad, I only have one request take the title after we find my mate. My wolf and I can easily track her scent so please let me help. I'll do whatever it takes to get her back and fix this huge mess I created." Tyrone begged.
"Fine but don't expect us to treat you like before, you did not only disobey the pack law by rejecting your mate you also put us in shame. You may go now." His father dismissed him.
"Can you please read the letter first? Maybe there will be a lead that will help us." Tyrone suggested to Marcel.
“Please do Marcel.” Luna Axelia tapped his shoulder, with a heavy heart, Marcel opened the note and read what it says.
To the Keepers,
Beware! I'm going to take them one at a time.
Yours truly,
The King of Underworld.
"What is that supposed to mean? What and who are these keepers the letter is referring to?" Tyrone stated with curiosity.
"Marcel, can I see the letter?" Alpa Marco stared at the white paper.
“Please tell me it’s not him.” Axelia asked her husband.
“Who’s him?” Marcel and Tyrone said in unison.
"It’s Hades, he got Diana." Axelia starts to panic.
“Oh my God!” Axelia exclaimed.
"I will find and kill him!" Tyrone was shaking in anger.
"Who is he and why does his name sounds familiar?" Marcel butted in trying to calm himself.
"He is the God of Underworld." His Mom holds the paper.
"What does he wants from us?" Marcel became puzzled.
"He wanted revenge from our parents and take you under his wing.” Marco started elaborating.
“Revenge with our parents, are you telling me that he was the reason why our parents were attacked and killed that night in the forest?” Marcel glued the pieces together.
“Yes, it was his people who tracked them, for ages he has been tracking your family.” Marco explained.
"All this time you knew those rouges belong to his but you didn't speak a word about it why?" Marcel yelled in frustration.
"We couldn't tell you because we made a promised to your parents that we will only discuss it once you’ve reached this age." Marco added the information.
“Why does it have to be this long to tell us about it?” Marcel is still confused.
"They are not just rogues Marcel they are Hades warriors with powers." Axelia corrected.
"What connection does this Hades had towards our parents? Why did Hades kill my parents?" Marcel focused on my parents.
"Hades is your father's oldest brother who attains the power of Underworld after he was disgorged by your Grandfather. He swore to have revenge to your father and his family." Marco elaborated further.
"How do you know about this?" Marcel balled his fist.
"We are your destined Keepers. The night before your parents were killed the Moon Goddess visited our dreams. She forewarned us about the three children who will come the next day and we were told to guard them with our lives. True to her words you and your sisters appeared the following day." It was Axelia’s turn to narrate everything.
"I still don't understand this powers you are talking about." Tyrone interjected.
"Marcel, you and your sisters have the same qualities they possess like masking your scents and changing your wolf’s fur according to your emotions, correct?" Axelia clarified.
“Yes, don’t you have the same abilities like we do?” Marcel seems to be unaware of it.
“Those abilities are only for great wolves even an Alpha doesn’t have that.” Tyrone confirmed.
“Exactly, you’re not a normal werewolf Marcel because you and your siblings are the last descendants." Luna Axelia detailed some more.
"Marcel, tell me what's your wolf's name?" Marco grabbed a pen and paper.
"Ares." Marcel prompted.
"Tyrone, do you know Diana’s wolf's name?" His father glanced at him.
"Artemis." Tyrone spilled.
"Marcel, your name was derived from Mars, a Roman Gods same with Minerva and Diana who are both Goddess. I'm definitely sure Minerva's wolf would be Athena. Your parents real names are Zeus and Hera, shuffled their names and you'll get it right." His mother turned over the paper.
"I don't understand maybe all of there are coincidence." Marcel stirred up.
"In the prophecy five years after your parents died there will be a great battle." Marco continued.
"What do you mean great battle?" Tyrone chipped in.
"Battle of the Goddess and Evil, it was foreseen that the war will happen on they one of the Goddess will went missing and in this case it was Diana." Axelia became assertive and studied all the time lapses.
"If it’s true then how can we defeat him or the people after us? We don't have that kind of powers to be able to fight this battle." Marcel doubted.
"That's where you're wrong Marcel, you and your sisters are the chosen ones known as the three deities." The old Alpha opposed.
"We only knew the abilities you mentioned a while ago so what powers exactly are we talking about?" Marcel is now determined to know everything.
"I know you will be confused that's why your parents left this letter. A week before Minerva was born they instructed us to give it when this incident happens." Marco hands him an envelope.
Marcel grabbed it with shaky hands while Tyrone is digesting all the facts that he heard. His mate is in danger and he was one of the people who pushed her away. Tyrone used to believe his mate will make him weak but in reality she is actually his rock and his life.
