Past

"Let's go," he said turning to look at his female guard who burrows furrowed at his words in confusion. He knows she is reluctant to follow him because she didn't want him to see her identity yet and he wouldn't force her.

"My King....I know, we will share this one," he interrupted her as he grabbed her hand and pulled her with him through the leaving and into the dark garden. The moment they left, the park members started giggling and laughing.

"The king really doesn't know how to ask a lady out" was their thoughts. They all wanted the king to find his true mate but there was a prophesy which said he would never have a mate because of his past sins but the pack members didn't believe that nonsense. A clearing of throat stopped everyone from their laughing fit.

"What are you guys laughing at?" Kelsey asked with raised brows.

"Nothing. Actually we're just happy," a brunette answered with a chuckle. Kelsey brows furrowed in thought, trying to figure out what could probably be making them happy. As far as he knows no one has ever been happy ever since Esabella came to the pack a year ago but now they were suddenly laughing like nothing happened a year ago. Esabella has been a thorn in everyone's flesh. She has been controlling things behind their King, ordering pack members around and punishing them for the slightest mistakes they makes.

"The thing is, the King just packed food on one plate and grabbed his female guard with him," a male replied with a chuckle. Kelsey's jaw almost hit the floor after hearing the words from the brown haired warrior. After a while, he snapped out of it and grinned. He has to do something that will drag that woman out of his friends life.

"Bring your beards together," Kelsey said and everyone complied immediately. He whispered some few sentences to them for ten good minutes.

"Rest assured that we will do it," someone said after Kelsey was done talking.

"Good. This is for our own good. Don't forget that," he said before packing up some foods on two plates and walking away. Kelsey and the male guard were getting along very well and for what reason? No one knows yet.

"""""" Meanwhile, In The Garden """"""

The king placed the tray of food onto the chair before taking a blanket from the shelf that was made on the wall. He spread the blanket and took of his flip-flops before setting the tray in the middle of it. He sat down before noticing she hasn't moved.

"Hey, come sit down and let's eat. The food is losing it's warmth," he said stretching his hand and tagging at hers. She quickly took off her slippers and sat down. They started eating in comfortable silence as she wonders why the king seem to get too close to her. Is not like she's complaining but she's just wondering but remembering that lady from earlier, her protective instincts kicked in.

Esabella isn't what she portrays to be in the life of the king and she has casted multiple spells on him without his notice but she didn't want to tell the king yet until she was sure who she was working with. The was no moon tonight, only stars which didn't reflect any light so she took of her mask and left her hoodie on and he was dying to know what she looks like. He couldn't also help wondering what she would look like in a dress. Although she was wearing sweatpants, he could make out her every curve.

After eating, they both sat side by side looking at the stars. So many thoughts were running through their heads and hearts but the silence was comfortable. The king doesn't remember how long he has felt this peaceful. His days and nights were never peaceful but this girl has this peaceful air around her that he couldn't help but relish in it. Her purple golden eyes always compels him.

"I'm Hamza," the king said breaking the silence, he averted his gaze from the sky and looked at her. Her face was hidden under her large hoodie with no mask as she took it off when they were about to eat. The girls chin was straight and sharp, her red lips were slightly parted. He gulped looking at them, how could a single woman envoke so many different feelings in him?. He just couldn't understand himself anymore.

"I'm Kelshun, my king," she replied before pulling up her mask and taking off her hoodie. She then returned his gaze with those purple eyes which made his heart skipped a beat. Hamza pursed his lips as he gaze at the girl with his emotions masked. She was so beautiful, just with her eyes exposed. She's the epitome of beauty.

She kept looking at him in the eyes with unreadable look, he could never guess what she's thinking but she always seem to see through his very soul, a soul which knows no light. A soul full of too much horrors and terrors. A soul which recoils from the light. A soul as cold as ice without the sun to help melt it. A soul with too many loopholes. A soul from the past that haunts the very people he rules but at the same time that soul came alive whenever he's near her.

Her sweet voice which is smooth as silk whenever words slip pasts her lips. A soul which has been denied a mate is now creeping up to the surface whenever the king's guard was close enough. He could feel his spirit trying to intewine with his broken soul. Did he... just say broken? Yeah, his soul was indeed broken without it's mate and his spirit has separated from his soul ever since the prophesy of him not finding a mate came out.

But now he knew that it was worth it because she was here with him. He would make sure she's safe with him just like he promised her parents. "You think too much. She doesn't know this and don't forget she might choose someone over us" Thunder interrupted the king's thoughts with a sigh.

"I know but I will make sure she chooses us. This is our only chance. Since the moon has denied us a mate, we will have to write our destiny ourselves. With or without her permission" the king replied firmly. He knows there's a possibility she might choose someone over him but it doesn't matter but he wouldn't know if he doesn't try but then again, it was going to be difficult wooing her.

Her eyelids were feeling heavier each second. She was tired, her body feels like she was walked over by a bulldozer, she let out a long yawn her head swaying Left Right and center each second. The king chuckled softly at her current state. She was so beautiful dozing off like a tired baby who has played all day without a wink of sleep. She looks so adorable yet sexy with the aura of a matured woman even though she was young for such aura.

He sighed, scooting closer to her and gave her a nervous look. He stood up and walked into the living room where the pack members were watching a movie. They gave him a puzzled look as he walk into the elevator. He came down seconds later holding a pillow and a blanket as the pack members gape in surprise yet he pretended not to see.

He walked into the dark garden, clicking on the disco lights which were changing colours every now and then. It made the garden glow beautifully. He laughed under his breath when he noticed that the girl was still dozing. "So much for a cold facade" he thought causing Thunder to chuckle.

"As if you're not a softie yourself" his beast mocked jokingly causing him to laugh lightly as he laid the soft pillow down on the blanket and sat down. He laid down before pulling the dozing girl on top of him with a small smile on his face. She snuggled closer burring her face in the crook of his neck as he pulled the blanket over them.

"I love this" his beast said with a sigh Whiles he gave a hmmm in agreement. He didn't know how long they were there until his eyes started closing with a smile still etched in his sharp features which has soften slightly in return. A dark figure stood behind a hedge of flowers with a phone on his ear, the moon casting a light on the silver cover of the phone.

"It's working. Yeah is clicking. We need to keep it low for as long as we can until the chosing" the figure said before hanging up and disappearing into the pack house with a sigh while inside the pack was giggling quietly as the watch the two figures cuddled together like destined mates and darn did they look like one even if they didn't know.

Kelsey who was on the fifth floor was watching the same thing, he smiled looking at the peaceful look on his friends face. He had never seen him like that or that look on his face. He prayed that peacefulness stay within his broken soul forever. He deserved it and sometimes he can't help but think that the goddess of the moon was dense and cruel not to grant such an amazing man a soul mate. But they don't need her consent anymore, they will have to write this destiny on their own. Whatever makes him happy, he would help him achieve it.

"They look good together, don't they," a voice asked beside him, he gave the masked man a side glance before looking back to the figures in the flower garden.

"They do. I hope everything works out perfectly at the chosing" Kelsey replied.

"Yeah I hope so too. I bet they don't even know that it's in a weeks time" the masked male replied and both chuckled in amusement. What could they say, both of them doesn't keep track of such things. Both men went back to sleep after watching the figures for a while, hoping for good days ahead even though the bad ones.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~••••~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The full red moon or which many know or was known to the supernatural realm as the blood moon was him in the sky with stars surrounding it. The moon was glowing with it's crimson colour reflecting on a castle causing it to glow red. Inside the castle was a woman with glowing silver-blonde hair, she was on a hospital bed, her hair was reflecting the a vivid silver light contrast to the glowing blood moon but her eyes reflecting the same colour as the moon.

Her protruding belly was in front of her, every now and then she would grant and growl in pain. Beside the bed sat a man with white hair, as white as the snow. His features were etched in pain as if he was the one in labour while his big hand was clasped around the smaller one of the woman who returned his gentle hold with a stronger one. The man's bones almost breaking under such strength but despite that, he had one of his hand caressing her pregnant belly gently as he whispered soft words into her eyes whiles his own eyes were glowing an icy blue, almost as if his eyes were freezing with a ring of red and gold around his Iris.

A man wearing a blue shirt and blue down was preparing everything for the delivery of the baby. He was moving faster than anything. Their kingdom has been waiting for long. This moment was bound to happen, yet the kingdom didn't even know something like this was happening for the enemies were too alert and waiting in the shadows to dethroned the king and queen, only a handful of people knew. Those few people would lay their lives down for the king at any moment, if needed. The doctor included.

With the power the couple posses, the baby was bound to have more than enough power or gifts, gifts that the enemies want, courtesy of the prophesy. The child was bound to be powerful, very powerful and the possibility of power hungry men coming after him was the highest. A child who wasn't even in the world was bound to be protected before any danger could arise.

"You're doing excellent my beautiful queen and mate" the white haired man whispered to his wife as the doctor snapped on his gloves just as a woman with golden locks came stumbling into the room, the queen gave a pain filled chuckle at the woman's disheveled appearance.

"You're always welcome, Heygan" the pregnant woman said causing everyone to let out a chuckle including the woman in question.

"Thank you my queen and the pleasure is also mine" Heygan replied jokingly causing the queen to smile. Although she was in pain, she's still managing to smile which made the doctor and Heygan admire her more. The white haired man whispered another word into her ear her head was thrown back in pain. The doctor raised her hospital gown, pulling it up and adjusted it above her belly before helping her part her legs, setting them on either side of the bed. The woman's red eyes now has a gold ring around the Iris as she granted in pain. The woman with golden locks was moving fast, preparing the diapers and everything.

"I can see the head, the baby is crowning and I'm going to need you to push as hard as you can okay" the doctor asked softly, achieving a grunt of approval from the queen.

"Now push" the doctor said encouragingly. The queen took in a deep breath and started pushing whiles holding back her painful screams. "You're doing good, keep pushing," the doctor said encouragingly coupled with the king's sweet words of encouragement and love as she pushed again with a grunt, biting her lips in the process, her eyes glowing redder and hair glowing a vivid silver every second.

The white haired man's hair has also started glowing blue as the colour of his eyes got lighter every second. The queen gave a last push and the doctor smiled while the king checked if his mate was okay. He cut the ablicalcord after making sure she was fine. The king eyes dimmed after the baby was handed to his mate. At this moment, the Queen's eyes has turned into an emerald green colour as a smile makes its way to her beautiful lips.

The child held the queens index finger with his eyes fluttering opened an icy emerald gold colours met her red ones. "Hamza" the couple whispered with a smile while the baby's eyes glowed different shades of colours.

Kelshun woke up with a scream, panting and huffing in breath, she was sweating profusely despite the slight chill in the night breeze. The man holding her sat up holding her protectively as he released a growl.

"Hey calm down, breath in and out" he instructed softly which she did while looking at the king with questions in her eyes. She has never had such a dream in a very long time since he died so why was she having strange dreams? She questioned herself. It was only two o'clock in the morning.

"Are you okay" he asked with concern filled eyes as she tried getting her breathing under control whiles she gave him a nod as a reply but kept looking at the king in shock. The king noticed this and frowned, his brows pulled together in question.

"What happened? What was it in your nightmare?" He asked looking at her worriedly, she was only looking at him in shock. "Hey, talk to me"he said, his worry and concern increasing. Did she see his past? Was it those who he killed or was it when he tortured some of his enemies ruthlessly. He has committed many sins, some he has forgotten that he didn't know which one it was.

"I saw you, Hamza" she said with surprise still etched in her voice. He flinched when she used his name, she always addresses him as "my king" which he loves but her using his name means what she saw was serious. Did she see a bad thing about him? His beast recoiled at the thought. Would she be disgusted with him or would she just hate him, all this thoughts makes him loosen his hold around her waist with an inward sigh sadly.
