My Destined Werewolf Mate

Czar's POV:

I rushed inside the mansion hastily as I was fuming in wrath. Usually, I always maintain my calm and composed posture but today, I lost my patience with everything... I can't stand it when people look down at me with pity, especially Zeus...​​

It forces me to reprimand my impotence when I lost the precious person of my life... The painful memory which I am struggling to obliterate from my mind becomes more vivid!

..

"Where is Zeus?"

A dark, hoarse, vicious voice halted me from behind as I was walking towards my room. I knew the voice quite well, and it's the reason for my burden of nightmares that I have been carrying for all these years.

I turned behind with a blunt expression on my face. It was Zeus's mom, Aelia, the proud alpha mother. She was the previous Luna of the Romano pack. Tall, elegant, and divinely beautiful Aelia has been always the center of attraction for the Romano pack. Not only her beauty, but she is also immensely powerful as a werewolf. For her overall graciousness, she was chosen as the Luna by our father and the previous, powerful alpha of our pack, Antonio.

She was ogling at me with an obscure look on her eyes while frowning her eyebrows. My patience was already at the edge and I didn't want to indulge with her furthermore.

"He is outside the mansion," I replied in an intense voice and tried to turn back to leave towards my room.

"Do you have the slightest idea what's the time now? My son has been roaming outside the mansion and I am pretty sure the reason is obviously you." She groaned at me fiercely while walking a few steps closer to me.

I had a disgruntled look on my face while ogling at her. I despise her to such a core that even her slightest appearance disgusts me. And, she is well aware of the fact.

"I didn't ask your son to follow me outside." With a firm outlook, I replied to her in a hoarse voice.

She seemed agitated with my answer and growled at me. "What did you just say, you nasty ungrateful--"

"Mom, stop it!"

Immediately Zeus intervened while she was approaching me fuming in rage, by standing in front of his mother and holding her right arm with his strong grasp.

"Zeus? Where the heck have you been?" She shrieked at him fiercely in order to vent out her frustration.

Zeus turned back and looked at me once. I was gawking at his mother while clenching my fist and he soon understood exasperation towards that lady!

"From when did you start caring about your son?" He reciprocated her query with a bold interrogation intensely. She seemed a bit offended by his gesture and immediately unleashed her hand from his grasp.

"A mother always cares about her child, but I always had to act stern to make you the strongest among all! It doesn't mean that I never cared about you." She sounded quite displeased as she was explaining her facts with a frowned face.

"Pffftt!" Zeus smirked with his mother's response and sighed deeply. "Apart from grandma, no one ever tried to love me, mom! I was just, the future protector of our pack! My worth was considered only as of the alpha, never as a small love-seeking child." He sounded a bit glum while bickering with his mother nonchalantly.

She again glared at me and her eye colour changed to dark red. It was an inherent trait of the alphas of our pack, whenever they are too infuriated or excited, their pupil changes the color abruptly without their own will. Many alphas spend years practicing to master this power as we need to disguise among the human realm. And among living within these humans, it's too easy to be infuriated with their ignorance.

"Are you starting to stand out against your own mother? Are you behaving like that nasty beta?" She yelled in a screeching tone while rolling her eyes in anger.

With her despicable tone, my annoyance crossed the limits. I clenched my wrist with my eyes turning into deep blue while gawking at her. I was preparing myself for defense as I need to face every incoming situation because it's impossible to trust that lunatic lady's behavior.

"Don't draw him in today. It was my own will to go outside and I don't give a damn to let others know about my whereabouts. Don't try to act concerned about me after 150 years of my life." Zeus grumbled at him in a coarse voice with his eye color gradually changing into bright red. He tried to meddle in between the intense situation to calm it down.

She smirked with his response and averted her stare towards Zeus from me. "No matter how much you try to defend that nasty beta, he will be always an outsider in our family. You and only you will be the legitimate child of your father." She proclaimed in a dark voice with a gaze of impotence towards me.

"His identity is not any nasty beta, but the son of my father and my half-brother. So, it's better for you to at least treat him with a bit of courtesy. And that's the command for you from the present alpha of Romano pack." Zeus strongly opposed her opinion and stood beside me in the horrendous cold war going between us.

I was startled by his action as I never even expected that he would defend me before his own mother! But... It's not his love! It's just the pity and sympathy he has always felt towards me since I was little.

She hissed at me and abruptly turned back, walking away hastily leaving us behind. Zeus stood still for a moment and then turned back at me.

"Don't even think I would fall for your tricks! You are the son of that awful lady... I will never forgive anyone here." I thought silently for a while and walked away hastily towards my room leaving him behind, alone.

He can't change my ruthless nature now... No one can transform me ever again...
