I Scored Myself A Mate

There were many different levels of pain someone could experience. At first you start with the simple unhappy, the one that is bearable but there. Then you get from unhappy to sad. Where the world slowly starts to crumble. After that sorrow and depression rips your heart, then again despair where you start to lose every hope and every positive thought, when you already are heading towards the final line. Soon for a short period of time, getting used to the blows of fate you become numb almost unaware of the pain as you attempt to put it aside until that final piece of reasoning and restraint you have shatters and you explode, destroying everything around you like an atomic bomb. 

Alex was numb. He didn't feel anything as he entered the dining hall early in the morning, watching everyone eat a very delicious breakfast. He spotted Mark sitting in one of the tables accompanied by Mikael but Luke was nowhere to be found. He sat with them grabbing a muffin from Mark's plate and taking a bite. 

"Hey! That was mine" he cried but Alex just shrugged his shoulder. "Very polite mister. Where were you last night?" 

"I just needed some time to think. Where is Luke?" He asked Mikael. 

"He has a meeting with his father about something. I don't know. He was searching for you everywhere before that"

"Yeah I am sure you don't know anything." He said ironically while taking another bite. 

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"I am sure you didn't know. You didn't know that Luke took me to that pretty place to enchant me to forgive him. I am sure you didn't know that he has been feeding me bullshit all this time. He doesn't even have a mate mark. I bet you thought I am so stupid I wouldn't notice it even if he was completely naked in front of him" he said while gritting his teeth. 

"What? He doesn't have a mark? Doesn't that mean you are not mates?" Mark whispered shocked. 

"No wait. You and Luke are mates. I saw it. I saw him accept the bond he would never lie about that" Mikael tried to explain "We just know that something is off about the mark. But honestly I don't know anything else."

"Then what the hell is that thing on my back Mikael?" 

"I don't know" he answered him and Alex let out a long sigh, standing up 

"Are you going to keep lying to me?" he asked 

"I am not lying. I really don't know what's that thing on you back. Luke hasn't told me. The ones who know is probably his father and Markus."

"Alex sit down and let's talk about this" Mark told him. "It's not a good time to go to him now." 

Overlooking Mark's advice, he looked at Mikael with a smile.

"I forgot to mention that he also lied to me about the Tribe War. How you wolves were so wrongly treated that you had no other choice. That wasn't the truth is it?" he asked 

"The truth is somewhere in the middle Alex. Yes, our people are brutes. That's what you want me to tell you? I think you already know that. Impulsive and constantly angry we killed and destroyed but at the end of the day we just wanted safety."

"And that's why you betrayed your own people"

"There is so much more to it but I don't get why you are mad about our history! This has nothing to do about you and Luke."

"It has!" Alex said "It is another lie. It is another lost hope for me. It keeps breaking me and there is nothing left!" he shouted and hit the table with his fists. A crack was heard and suddenly the table split in two, the food falling down, the plates and glasses breaking, causing a huge ruckus.

"Alex how did you manage to do that?" Marked asked with wide eyes. "My pancakes are…dead" 

"What the…" Alex mumbled looking at the mess he had created in just a few seconds. 

"You need to calm down, everyone is looking at you" Mikael whispered. "Excuse me can a cleaning lady get this we had an accident" then shouted at particularly no one and soon two ladies with brooms and cleaning cloths appeared looking at the mess with a grumpy face. 

"You youngsters don't know self-control" one of them scolded them and Alex felt guilty for making her this mess. 

"I can help" the green eyed boy said in remorse. 

"No you can't. We are leaving now." Mikael told him strictly and grabbed him from his arm, taking him away from all the people who were looking at him with mysterious stares.

"Stop pulling my arm" Alex said and released his hand from his grip. "I want to find Luke. Now. I want to put an end to all of this. I am sick and tired of being lied to. I will find by myself what is happening to me. I don't need you or your friend to cover up my eyes." 

"Listen to me Alex. This is not a good time for you to fight with Luke he is with his dad…"

"Let him go." Mark said. He could see how Alex was burning. He was unstable, like his legs couldn't keep him. His muscles tense and his eyes cold but at the same time filled with rage. If he didn't go now things would end up a lot worse. For both of them, even though he couldn't care less about Luke he didn't want to see Alex self-destruct in hatred too. He was right, he needed to let go. 

"No. We don't know how much Adam knows. Luke had been trying to keep him in the dark but for sure he must have been investigating for you. For that mark of yours so we can't show him you and Luke are not well. Your only protection will be gone" Mikael tried to warn him. He need to see things more clearly. He had told them a lot of times they were into safe here. They needed to lay low, just because the Alpha didn't bother them it didn't mean he wasn't planning something. It meant that h just wasn't in a hurry. 

"I don't care. I don't care about anything anymore I just want this whole thing to end." Alex said and the separation was prominent in his voice. He really did want everything to stop. 

He pretended he didn't listen. All he was thinking about was confronting him and as he counted every single lie he felt his feelings die more and more. Like someone was slowly spilling water to a burning fire. 

As he headed towards to what he remembered as Adam's office something unusual happened that ruined his plans. Not just unusual but shocking at the same time since he never believed he could witness something like that in here that's why he literally turned to stone when the event began unraveling in front of his widened eyes. 

At first he heard a loud noise from the closed doors. Like furniture were being thrown everywhere and then it happened. 

Adam came flying through the door and landed at the other side of the corridor on his back. The three boys had stepped to the side looking the Alpha slowly falling to the ground with an expression of pain distorting his features. 

"How dare you!" he heard someone shout loudly and soon appeared Theseus. The playful man from this morning. 

Right now he was different though. His amethyst eyes were ready to kill as he walked towards the injured wolf. Every step he took echoed as everyone seemed to have stopped breathing. Daniel, Markus, Ea and even Luke had made an appearance standing at the door frame. The door didn't exist anymore. It had shattered and was fallen on the floor. That door was incredibly heavy but the force of that man had not only broken it but literally had sent Adam flying.

"I came here to warn you about the upcoming danger, to offer you my help as the treaty says and you have the audacity to mock me Adam?" He said as he reached the Alpha. Adam didn't try to move. But even if he had Alex for some reason was sure that Theseus would stop him. He grabbed the man from his shirt and raised him up. "You could never reach my level. Remember that all I have to do is snap my fingers and you will all die. I had him to keep me in check but he is gone now so beware." He warned him and this time he threw him to the other side, the male landing exactly in front of Luke's feet. 

"Come on now, little cub. Try to fight me too. I am waiting" 

Luke growled and was ready to launch but Mikael's voice stopped him. 

He looked at them. Luke didn't know they were there. He was too preoccupied with his father to notice. He stopped everything that he was doing, scared.

Alex couldn't have seen it. The dark shadow that slowly approached him. He was only aware of it when it was in front of him in the shape of a very sharp object, targeting his chest. It looked like a spear. 

Theseus seemed like he was enveloped by darkness. Actual, solid darkness if Alex could describe it like that. He had shadows swirling around him, like snakes and he was obviously capable of commanding them because one of them had taken that very dangerous form to threaten him, he could feel the tip on his chest and he knew that if he made only one step that thing would pierce through him. 

"I am waiting" Theseus sang and looked at Alex. 

Their eyes met and the white haired man could sense the fear in him. The threat. He smiled, noticing how Alex was examining him. His green eyes were stuck on his face and he felt his whole body shivering. The more they kept looking at each other the more he could sense his fear disappearing. His arrogant look changed as he seemed to have in front of him a riddle. 

"Who are you?" Alex asked him, not knowing why he mouthed that irrelevant question. Something inside of him wanted to find out. The feelings that man had caused him the first time they had met were still there. Without the stupid charm.

"I would ask you the same thing." He said quietly and withdrew his spear, setting him free. "Remember next time, I will kill all of you" he said looking at Luke before he disappeared with his servant.
