Chapter 7

Dylan Pov

As I headed towards my office, I mind linked Bell asking her to take Brookes down for breakfast. The news of her presence in my house and she was the Luna spread like a fire in a forest. Every single werewolf has came to know about her being the queen within a day.

I can't blame anyone though. Aderyn has this aura around her which makes a werewolf bow before her. She is mated to a werewolf king after all which makes her the Queen of Werewolf.

Though She is beautiful but the most important part for me is her being a human. Humans don't have any comparison to werewolves in any sense. Werewolves are way much stronger than Human in the field of strength, power, life span and even intelligence.

Being mated to a Human means responsibility. Humans are not supposed to know about werewolves and as I have been mated to a Human I've to take care of her and her life as she is my other half. But this becomes really tough for me for her being a human.

She stands no chance against werewolves and my enemies. Being the king, I have to take care of my kingdom and my people but still I do have enemies, who will do anything to cause hamper and harm my title. As they never got the opportunity to harm me because of my special abilities they will now get a chance to harm my Kingdom using my soulmate, Aderyn Brookes.

I never wanted a mate. No, I don't think that a mate will be the reason of my weakness but I'm in my own problems now. I had a terrible past.

My family.

My eye watered thinking about them. My only family died before my eyes when I was only Thirteen years old. They were killed by our enemies before my own eyes. My father who was the King and my mother, the Luna Queen were killed by our enemies who used a potion which was made by a powerful Witch very cunningly.

That potion ceased my father's abilities as well as my mother's abilities making them as weak as a Human, hence they died when they were stabbed using a Silver Dagger.

I was saved by my Father's beta who managed me to take me away with him to a safe space. During those days, when we were away from the Kingdom we came to know about that the Kingdom was running down by our enemies. They wanted to clear werewolves existence from this earth.

I was burning with revenge. Revenge for my family's death. Revenge for my people. Revenge for my Kingdom. Hence, soon enough when I changed into a werewolf for the first time, I came to know about my abilities. My father's beta started to teach me. He taught me how to fight, use my abilities and taught me about being a Royal werewolf.

Though we remained living in a cave under a mountain we managed to build ourselves and soon the day came back for my our plan to be executed.

While we were away the beta remained in touch with the important and powerful Alphas of all the provisions in order to execute our plan. The Alphas are with their future king which is me.

Finally, we attacked and we used the same trick as they did with us. We took help from the Witches. The most powerful eleven witches out of twelve were hired for the work and the one who prepared the potion for our enemies was killed by the other eleven witches. According to them she violated their rule of going against a werewolf King was shameful for their kind.

We managed to trap our enemies and finally, still burning with the fire of revenge I killed them mercilessly with my own hands. I Burnt them to death.

It's been already five years since this incident and my revenge but still my enemies are not someone who needs to be forgotten or forgiven about. They are powerful and they go to any extent to take revenge on me. They aren't any Vampires or witches who can be easily controlled by my abilities.

They are "The Nachzehrer".

In a century where centuries-old vampires have teenage angst and blood lust in the mix of all their problems, it's was like a refreshing change to the vampire family - the Nachzehrer. Some kind of bizarre mix of ghoul and vampire, the Nachzehrer is a soul-sucking monster that is native to the northern regions of Germany who rises from the grave to devour his or her own kin. The very deadly enemies of the werewolf kind and even for the Human.The Nachzehrer can also kill living people by ringing church bells that bring death to all who hear them and by making you come in contact with its shadow. It sounds more frightening than glittering teenagers.

People call them shadows because no one actually saw them. They would just pass away and you could barely mark their shadows. I used to belief it as one a mythological creature until one day when we were suddenly attacked by not only just one but hundreds of Nachzehrers.

Turns out that my Dad killed a Nachzehrers family when he went out for patrolling. It wasn't his fault. He got got their scent lingering in our area which turned him to be protective to his kind and he did what he could do to save our people, by killing them. But one of a member of the family managed to get away in time but he swore to come to take revenge on us. Time passed by and one day we were finally attacked.

We could do nothing to their incredible speed and power. It was really strange. Because normally werewolves could fight them but in this case we came to know that they were using protecting spells and shield. Black Magic caste by one the powerful witch.

I'm broken. Loosing my family at such a young age was not easy for me. I had nightmares on their screams and the memories of them getting killed before my eyes is still fresh.

I don't think Aderyn will ever understand this. She seems like a carefree girl and their is this smile which remains plastered on her face every time I see her. She can never take this much pain. She doesn't deserves someone like me. She doesn't deserves so much pain.

So, why was she mated to me? Someone so broken and cold hearten doesn't deserve a mate like Aderyn.

So why?

Today when I went to the Dining room and mind linked everyone warning to stay away from her and she shouldn't know about us being werewolves, I sensed something was off.

I sensed something radiating from her. No doubt, she was a Human I can sense that and my mate bond helped me with it but today I felt some aura radiating from her.

So when she snapped at me wanting to know why I was not speaking anything to the people ofcourse remaining unaware of the mind link process, I turned back to her held and her arms.

The only way to know about her was to read her mind. I found it strange that since I met her back from the Diner, I never heard anything coming out of her mind.

I focused into her mind while she furrowed her eyebrows at me. To my absolute horror I found nothing.

I furrowed my eyebrows and tried to focus more. The more I concentrated the more blank messages I got. This was impossible.

It is a impossible thing. It is like she wasn't thinking anything. I got everything blank. How can anyone not think.

Soon I began to have a headache. I wanted to ask her what was going inside her mind. I wanted to scream at her on why I wasn't able to read her. Who was she?

This was a new thing to me. I never experienced incapability of using my own powers. I felt weak. My head began to pound which made my anger to surface.

Not wanting to create a scene, I went away from the hall to my room.

"What's is wrong with me" I screamed frustrated holding my throbbing head.

I punched the wall making a hole on the solid surface frustrated.

"Who are you Aderyn Brookes?" I asked myself mentally.

Soon the scenes with her from the beginning flashed through my eyes. Now when I come to think of it I'm finding it really weird. Her eyes are dull most of the time when I talked to her. I found her heartbeat fasten though she seemed calm and reservative. Every time she smiled, it didn't reach her eyes which means she faked smiling.

She seems to be a woman filled with secrets. But what secrets? What lies behind her fake smile? She seems confident all of the time and it is really strange for a Human and that also a girl not to freak out finding herself kidnapped and in a strange place. It looks like she doesn't fear anyone.

The more I think of her, the more I wanted to know her.

Without me knowing she has managed to jab my mind.

"What are you Aderyn Brookes?" I questioned sliding against the wall and sitting on the floor. My mind drifted back to the Enigmatic Woman who had my attention and managed to invade my mind in all ways.
