My Destined Werewolf Mate

"I...I have hypnotized them." 

"What?"

Getting such an ice-cold response from her, Zeus was baffled for a few seconds staring at her in wonder. Slowly, he loosened his grip on her arm as he was dropping his control over his reflexes with her answer.

"I didn't have any choice left apart from it." Her voice was distant as well as with a profound emptiness on her eyes, she turned back confronting him upfront. "To wrap up whatever happened last night, I had to hypnotize these two men right here and I couldn't come up with any other excuse for your parents except this lame one. You know, it hurts me...It really does hurts me to lie before them so pathetically because they trust me way too much... I guess I don't deserve their faith at all..." 

Zeus didn't utter a single word in response and lowered his head down for a few minutes with an urge of sadness arousing inside his heart.

According to their spiritual mythology, it was indeed a great sin for the other werewolves except for the alpha of a pack to use hypnotism against their own clan. The punishment was too severe that even a few of their ancestors lost their entire supernatural powers as well as their lives at the hands of their celestial members. But without even giving a second thought, Ivory abused her powers for his sake, it was making him suffer mentally.

"Why did you do it, Ivory? You knew it quite well.... that you can't use hypnotism against our pack! Why did you use it against them? Have...Have you forgotten those punishments that our ancestors faced?" Frowning his eyebrows in anger, he snapped at her immediately.

"As I told you already, I didn't have any other option left... When I took you back here, both of them were already waking up from the slumber you had put them for escaping...They saw me bringing you back here and...involuntarily I had to use my powers to erase their memories--"

"How could you commit such a grave sin for me so readily? Why didn't you let everyone know the truth? How could you endanger yourself like that?" Before she could wrap up her words, he shrieked out in an infuriated manner.

"Let everyone know the truth? Hah, should I have done that for you?" Holding a disgruntled smirk on her face, she stared at him intensively with her eyes all of a sudden fuming in wrath.

"Then why did you endanger yourself for me--"

"Then should I have unveiled everything causing everyone so much pain?" Suddenly, unable to suppress her frustration, she yelled out furiously at him. Her eyes were gleaming in tears of agony as she continued gawking at him. "Should I have put you in danger then? Should I have exposed it to watch you getting disowned by your own pack, just for the sake of that lousy human? Should I have watched you losing everything at once you worked so hard to earn for? Should I have done all these like a worthless loser? What did I do wrong?"

"Ivory, listen to me, you have been always the only friend I ever had in my life. How could I let you--"

"Do you fucking know, how scared I was when I watched you collapsing before my own eyes? For that human...For that darn human, you overstrained yourself so much that it worsened your state! You...You fool! Do you fucking realize how helpless I had been in that position?" Warm tears bearing heavyweight of emotions streamed down her eyes as she continued snarling at him, clenching her fist in anger.

"All I did was for the sake of my love. I was madly worried about Eva that... I couldn't stop myself from going to her... And...And she did the exact same for me... We both love each other so much, Ivory... That's the only reason behind my actions. I know...I have caused enough pain to you and... I am really sorry for everything..." 

"Love? You think that human really loves you?" Grumbling in a fiery rage, she inquired him quite viciously, walking a step closer to him. Zeus was awe-struck with her immediate retort and momentarily stared at her.

"What do you mean--"

"You have really lost your senses, Zeus! You have forgotten who we are and who you are! That human... She is just allured by your outer shell! She is just attracted by your disguise, not the real you! She can never love you for who you are because there lies the boundary between the mortals and immortals! Those darn humans... they are the epitome of betrayals. They have been always stabbing us in the back! We, the mighty werewolves, treat them as our prey because they deserve it! They deserve to be despised! Have...Have you forgotten all the pain those humans have caused to us? Have you forgotten how much the Romanos abhor humans?" Gnashing her teeth in anger, breathing heavily in wrath, she tried to wake up his conscience desperately.

"But why Eva has to suffer all the hate due to those vile humans who caused us a lot of pain?" Persistently opposing her declamation, he further retaliated his concerns for the woman he cherishes quite boldly. "She...She has already gone through a lot of misery! She has lost her family at the hands of our lineage! What did she ever do to receive all these agonies? I...I know...Both of us belong to different worlds coexisting together, but... I have promised... I will never abandon her no matter what happens! I have made a choice, and there's no point in retreating away from it." 

For a moment after he finished his declaration, an awkward silence persisted between them with the two pair of eyes intensively gazing at each other. Her eyes seemed to be much painful but his gaze seemed but bolder as if he was ready to fight against the whole world, for his beloved one.

"Alright," suddenly her facial expression transformed into a dark mystic one with a small smirk faltering on her red puffy lips. "Go ahead and tell her the truth about your existence. Tell her, that you are a true-blood alpha werewolf of our Romano clan. Go ahead." 

Holding a fretful eloquence and a startled gaze, he rolled his dark-black pupils quite wider with the response. His throat choked with a surge of fear arousing inside him which halted his every response, with his jowls quivering a bit. Squirming in anxiety, he lowered his eyes down from her.

"What's wrong? Why are you silent all of a sudden? Why don't you go ahead and tell her right now?" She leaned her head a bit closer to him, intensely contemplating him with a sly grin while probing him. Though he was silent with a grimacing expression evident on his pale bruised face, slowly, he raised his chin up to look at her sternly.

"Ivory--"

"Let me tell you the consequence that will be happening after your confession. The woman you are claiming to be sincerely in love with you will scream aloud in horror looking at your true werewolf form! She will cry for help and run away from you declaring you as a vile beast! There's no way she will accept it because...for humans, we are the brutal monsters who relish their claws dipped in blood and gore... That's what we are...the mighty brutes. How can we exist together with those powerless mortals?" Mystically grounding her voice she mumbled in a low pitch, intending to manipulate his mind with her persuasive aura.

He quietly listened along to everything and taking a deep breath in, further retorted his verdict, "I can't impose my feelings on her even if she can't accept my harsh truth... But there is no point in retreating back from the choice my heart has already made. I love her and I will be protecting her till the very end. It's up to her to accept me for whoever I am."

Immediately, stomping her feet in anger, she straightened her back clenching her fist in anger. Glaring at him with her blazing fiery eyes, she further rebuked, "one day, the person you are swearing now to protect, will abandon you brutally! She will be the one who will rip your heart apart... And when this day comes... I will be the first one who will eliminate her entire existence because I can't sit back and watching you suffering all alone...

Till then...I will do whatever it takes to protect you with all my might because no matter what happens, I have accepted you for who you are a long time ago..." Uttering in a painful voice, she walked straight out of the room taking giant footsteps leaving him behind gazing at the way she left like a storm.

Sitting quietly with a heavy heart and a frown face, only those harsh words of her flashed on his mind:

"ONE DAY THE PERSON YOU ARE SWEARING TO PROTECT WILL ABANDON YOU BRUTALLY! SHE WILL RIP OPEN YOUR HEART LEAVING YOU ALL ALONE!"
