I Scored Myself A Mate

"A suppressed soul? Isn't that really rare? I don't even know what that is exactly." Samantha said.

"A suppressed soul is when an immortal dies, in some magical way all the supernatural species have some weakness, uuum so back to what I was saying, It's quite hard to explain…"

"Quit stalling and explain what's happening." Luke said trying to contain his worry.

"Yes, yes I am sorry. So this immortal being dies and as I said he was not like us who are part human. So his soul somehow gets trapped into a human body during his reincarnation process. Meaning that Alex if his reincarnation process had happened right he would've been born in the species that he belonged and then at his eighteenth birthday he would remember his past. Dying as an immortal being is very rare anyways in our days of peace, especially if you live on the other side, The Veil, so he probably faced a tragic death many years ago and his soul got lost entering a human body." Markus tried to explain.

"So you mean that any day Alex could…awaken? Remember everything about his past?" Luke asked as he felt cold sweat drip down his temples.

"Yes. Especially if one day he finds himself back home, or he meets someone he used to know or if he even learns from us a few things about his past he could awaken. Basically his human self would somehow be erased or emerged, if I can phrase that better, with his real self. He will return back to his old existence. He will even get the characteristics of his species even though that, I'm sure would be a very painful state until it's over."

"So you are telling me that if Alex finds out that he is not human, his self right now would seize to exist."

"Yes. Exactly"

"And what is he anyways? Does that tattoo explain anything?" Adam asked.

"I mean, it's a soul tattoo. Its energy emits that of a trapped soul but the mark itself, or why it appeared is unknown to me, I will have to make some research to find out for sure."

"I see. You can go Markus. Keep researching and inform me and only me about what you find." Adam told him.

Markus though was looking at Luke. How he seemed like he was almost shivering. The struggle that shone behind his pretty eyes. He was a smart man; he could figure out what was going on. Luke's interest was very much obvious without his years of experience so he just bowed at his Alpha and left the room. Without making any dangerous observations.

"So he is something but we don't really know what." Adam said while thinking. His eyes were examining the sleeping boy and it seemed like he couldn't decide what he would end up doing with him. "Should I kill you or not?" he wondered at loud.

"What if he is someone we have an alliance with?" Samantha asked. "That would instantly mean that we are breaking a treaty, maybe even war."

"And how would they know?"

"They're gonna know" Samantha said. She was really trying to keep her promise to Alex and help him get out safe of all of this.

"Honestly I don't know; I mean he really irritates me. It would be a pleasure to kill him and his friend."

"Father there is something you need to know." Luke called out and looked at his father.

He felt like his heart was going to break. It was beating so fast as the Alpha looked at him, his superiority emitting from every move, every breath he took that he felt for a second that he wanted to hide somewhere he wouldn't be able to see him. Stress him and make him feel inferior. He couldn't do that though. It wasn't a matter only about himself. It was about Alex and his wellbeing and he would never back down on that no matter who was the opponent.

"What is it?"

"Alex is my mate" he said and for a second he stopped breathing as he watched his father processing the unwanted information. His expression changed really fast from unfazed to shocked to disgusted and Luke was surprised that he had such a wide spectrum of facial expressions after all all he got to see was an angry and sometimes a strict look.

"Are you serious? He is your mate?"

"Yes. I've known it for quite some time. I didn't want to believe it because I was scared about how you would react and like that I hurt him a lot. I can't be like this anymore. You can't kill him because I accepted our mate bond. He is mine now and you have to obey the pack's rules." He told his father with as much courage as he could. He wanted to say so much more, cuss him and yell at him for everything Alex had to go through because of him but he decided not to. He didn't want to anger him more than he should.

"I see. I see" he said and he had a very dubious smile on his lips. "You know what's going to happen right? If he remembers."

"I do. That's why no one must know. We will tell him that his mark is a mate bond. He will never hear of this and we will never speak of this again." Luke said

"Are you really sure?" His father asked.

"Yes.I am sure. I don't want to lose him. I couldn't live with that."

"Well then, have a happy life with him son, as long as that could last" Adam told him and patted his shoulder.

He started walking slowly and headed towards the door, leaving his son and everyone in the room dumbfounded about his unexpected reaction. He anticipated shouts and yells for asking to spear his life. Contempt for being mates with a male human but he almost seemed like he didn't care. Luke knew his father was not that kind.

Replaying his words. He was sure.

They were not a blessing but a curse.
