THE MOON'S CURSE

Emily POV

“Remember who you are. What is your name?” a figure kept asking from the shadows.

“Emily. My name is Emily” I answered and the place I was standing shook violently.

“no..no..no.That’s not who you are. Remember who you are!” the voice went bizarre thundering in a loud voice and then I woke up.

“Emily wake up” Aunty May shook me out of my nightmares, “Tell me what was it this time” she added as he handed me a glass of water.

“Aunty am scared every time this person keeps asking me to remember who I am. Whenever I say Emily it always gets angry” I narrated my whole encoutner and I watched as she remained silent.

“Baby I don’t have much information on any of this but I heard that the Dragon King Tharros is here. You can go and ask him for the answers you seek” She patted the back of my palm as she told me this.

I guess now was the time to meet him. I haven't had much time to discuss anything with any of the people ever since I learned that the cold vampire Lucien was my mate whatever my Aunties said. I have no knowledge of the supernatural community but I picked that mates cherish each other and protect each other,and its like an arranged marriage but it decided on by the Moongoddess.

“Okay, I will go and talk to him and see if they can help me with these painful dreams and visions I have been feeling lately” I stood and told her.

I went inside my bathroom and took a quick bath because I wanted to meet this Dragon King to get answers and I was feeling anxious. This anxiety made me feel energy surging in my veins threatening to burst out.

I slid into one of the gowns provided by my so called mate.Three days have passed since he found us in the forest and I havent seen him and his subordinates respect me but I always felt like deep down to want to peel off my skin .

I walked downstairs and I asked one of the guards where they were at. I was pointed to a room that had this huge door and it required two people to open it. As I walked towards the door, my heart started to pound violently in my chest. Was this the feeling of being closer to my so-called mate? The guards at the door opened it for me and I thanked them and entered the room to see the Vampire King with his cold eyes looking at me with his raw desire not concealed on his face. What a pervert I guess he is even undressing me with those cold eyes.

Besides him was a man much older than him and looking poised and elegant.He was chaarming and he exuded this aura of wisdom around him .Every slight gesture he made was well carried out and elegant.

“How do I address you both am sorry I am not familiar with the hierachy of this world”I opened my mouth slightly and murmered and I was feeling nervous and the atmosphere was weird.

“Please Emily just call us by our names.I hope you are okay with me calling you by your name”he stood up and offered me a seat,very gentleman.I looked at the Vampire giving a hint that arent you my mate this is what you should have done, “Well am Tharros and you already met my friend here” he added.

“So Emily I was just about to ask Lucien to send for you.I hope you are aware about the power you possess and the prophecy which surrounds you .Dear”Tharros said in a very polite way.

“Yes and for the past days, I have been having several visions and dreams.I want them to stop because they are painful, so I was hoping to get some insights from you.My Aunties said your kind are knowledgable” I said whilst playing with the hem of my sleeves.

For a moment after I narrated my story everyone looked at him and he stroked his beard looking for answers.

“So far I have no knowledge about that but I know a place where we can find those answers,” he said after the pause.

“Where is that?”Lucien asked with urgency in his tone.

“We have to go north to the Ancient Temple of the Moon” After he said the doors to the study were violently opened from outside and an elegant tall and handsome man walked in exuding an aura of nobility.

“MATE!” he suddenly said the very moment he entered the room which surprised everyone in the room.

Two mates, was I going to have two husbands?

“What brings you here Kiran?”Lucien asked coldly and I could feel that there was animosity between the two.

“Well, I heard you were housing witches in your palace. So I had to come and see for myself and what are you doing with my mate here?” he asked.

“You must be mistaken here, she is mine,” Lucien said exuding this terrifying aura.

“Kaelos just recognized her as his mate. She is mine” he said and I saw the two about to fight each other.

“STOP!” I said but it gained much momentum and the whole building shook that is all I remember and I passed out.

….…

When she screamed the whole palace shook and a gush of wind was formed and it spread everywhere that every neighbouring pack felt the tremours.Behind Lucien’s palace a shadowy figure the Harbinger of Shadows watched from the palace grounds and smirked….
