I Scored Myself A Mate

Back in Markus' room despite the chaos all around them the conversation continued.

"So did you call us here in the middle of the night just so we can look at you read some ancient encyclopedia?" Adam asked while he paced in the room. 

He had been in there for a good fifteen minutes already kicking opened books with his feet, while Markus once more was quiet with his scarred face buried in a very old, almost disheveled book. Daniel on the other hand was sitting relaxed on the couch not caring very much if Markus was paying him attention or not. He had been dragged there by Adam after all. 

Markus raised his index finger signaling him to stop and the Alpha sighed in annoyance. He kept reading for a while longer when he raised his head from the book. He grabbed it from the edges and lifted it up showing the content of a certain, washed out yellow page. It had a lot of scribbles of blank ink on the sides of the text and underlining but in the middle you could see very clearly a golden design. One that was almost identical to the one Alex had on his back. 

"So did you find out who he is?" Adam asked finally sitting in the armchair. Daniel know interested in what was going on he got up and approached them, bending down a bit to look at the image better.

"No I am not sure, but I think I found something important." 

"What is it?" Daniel asked. 

"This, my dear friends is actually a spell."

"Yes we already knew that." Adam interrupted him.

"Shut up and let me talk Adam…" Markus scolded him, making Daniel chuckle. "This is a spell but listen here. All of our assumptions were wrong" he said in excitement. 

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that Alex's case it wasn't just a reincarnation gone wrong. It was meant to happen that way. This spell is a soul suppression spell. Someone locked up his supernatural soul so he would actually reincarnate as a human and that design on his back is the seal but it's also something more. It's a way for his people to find him. What I suspect is that it's meant to be triggered with supernatural energy. His people were planning to look for him and when their energy came in close contact with him the mark would show them he was the one but the mark got triggered early because of our supernatural energy."

"So what you are saying is that this human boy was important enough to have a seal on his power? You are telling me that we might have a bomb in here and his people are looking for him because if the seal has been awakened, thankfully not broken yet, they will know it and we tortured that kid and treated him horribly! I told you this was a horrible idea! I told you" Daniel said. 

The situation had now become a lot more severe. Alex was not just some supernatural creature that got lost in his reincarnation. He was someone that his people needed to contain. A person who his people needed to put a tracking on so they wouldn't lose him. That could mean that he was either some very important psycho in their history or a very strong individual. 

"This looks like a very complicated spell." Adam commented still keeping his composure. 

"Because it is. It's also very unique. Only one person was strong to cast it and she did it to him."

"Who did it?"

"The woman who casted the spell on Alex, the one who created that seal, was Queen Atalanti"

"This is impossible. The Avgee Tribe has been extinct." Adam said. His eyes widened when he heard her name. No one was allowed to speak or even think about the Avgee tribe in their compound. It brought memories of the Tribe War and the brutalities that were committed. Written in history, with blood. 

"That could only mean that he died before the end of the war. What if he fought there?" Daniel asked and his eyes were filled with worry. "What if he belongs to one of our enemies?"

"The Avgee Tribe has been extinct!" Adam shouted and hit his hand on the wooden table. "Meaning no one will look for him. We know enough, this measly human is not a threat to us. Even if he was someone great there is no way to awaken if he doesn't come in contact with someone of his own kind so shut up Daniel and stop acting like a scared little child. Even if he awakens, we live in an era of peace. There are treaties he can't overlook."

"The things we did back then Adam…"

"No. I want this information to be buried and I don't want anyone talking about the Tribe War again. Never." Adam told him and grabbed Daniel, taking him out of the room in a hurry. 

Markus had a lot more to say but he kept quiet. He marked the page of the book, mentally noting to give to Luke at some point. That would be something he would wish to read.

It seemed like they weren't ready to hear the rest of the story yet. 

You see the occult specialist on their pack before the war had been friends with Queen Atalanti and he was almost sure that he knew who Alex was. 

....

There was no mark.

Alex began feeling dizzy. No, no, no please no. He cried in his head. 

"Please don't do this to me" he mumbled and suddenly stormed off the shower. 

Luke followed him confused to find him bending over a toilet and throwing up everything he had eaten today. He was feeling sick. Was this the reason why he didn't show him his mark? Because it didn't exist? Did Luke think that he would be such a big of a fool that he wouldn't notice it when he was stark naked in front of him?

He kept throwing up even if there was nothing left in his stomach. He was disgusted. He had forgiven him so the next second he could experience something like this. How did his anger subside so quickly before anyways? Did he do something? He wondered and everything right now seemed suspicious. 

Luke took a few steps closer but Alex raised his hand to stop him from approaching. Not right now, he couldn't deal with this. He stood up stumbling slightly and feeling that annoying burn on his throat. 

"Are you alright Alex?" he asked him his eyes filed with concern. Were the emotions mirrored there a lie too?

"Yes, yes. I just…Suddenly I don't feel well. I think I'm going to go lie down."

"Do you want me to take you to your room?"

"No. It's fine. Finish your shower. I don't want you to get my cold if I am sick. We will talk in the morning okay?" he said and waited for an answer to just ran away from there. He had already walked to where he had left the clean clothes he was given and was trying to wear his pants. 

"I can come if you want."

"It's fine!" he exclaimed. "I'm sorry, I just want to sleep. It's been a bad day today and suddenly I feel exhausted." It wasn't actually a lie; he was actually exhausted but with Luke's bullshit. 

"Okay then. I will come in the morning to check up on you alright?" He asked him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Yes. Goodnight" he said and forced a smile before walking away. 

The minute he was sure he was out of sight he began running. He needed to leave this place. At least for a little while. He had to calm down and think. Put his thoughts in an actual order without his feelings or kindness intervening with his decisions. He had to look through a pile of lies without breaking down or wanting to cry himself to sleep. 

His feet took him to the place where he had felt that sweet relaxation. The only thing Luke had done for him that he appreciated was showing him this place. It was beautiful but he didn't believe that he would find himself again there so soon. He laid down on the grass, appreciating the fact that he was all alone and listened to the sound of the little river, the water flowing away. How he wished to flow away, or fly to another place. Somewhere he would belong, where he wouldn't be lied to or tricked. Somewhere he wouldn't be scared or in pain all the time.

He had told himself that he would throw away the weakness but he couldn't keep the tears in. He had promised to think, be logical but his emotions were just too strong to tame. So he cried and cried until the sweet smell of the flowers put him to sleep. 

Unaware that an unknown figure was looking at him. 

....

To be continued.
