Prophecy or Delution

The dinner which was supposed to be a good opportunity to show that Terrence was a good person, worthy of inheriting the throne, and made them forget about his curse ended up dividing them even more.

Only a few words from an unknown person were enough to make them tremble in fear. The air around them was heavy and the panic grew.

"You heard that? That boy is the devil!!"

"What can we do?"

"He has to disappear!"

"Wait… are you saying that…"

"Of course! That guy needs to die!"

Everyone started to share their malicious thoughts, Terrence wasn't surprised at that but the pain in his head and the itch in his eyes made him unconsciously hug Daemon. The pain was killing him and wanted to ask him for help but he couldn't talk, however; Daemon saw Terrence, the strong omega who never showed any weakness, was now trembling in fear.

Seeing how they were attacking his companion was the worst thing he ever experienced.

He got mad… without realizing it his strong and heavy pheromones started to fill the place, fed up with everything Daemon growled at them to make everyone shut up.

"One more word and you will lose your tongue"

His deep and cold voice resonated in every corner, that warning gave them goosebumps, of course; that order was made by his alpha voice, and with the strong pheromone of a dominant alpha, nobody dared to speak anymore or make a sound.

When the members of the Blumme's pack saw his leader knew that he was dangerous at that moment so they approached and separated him and Terrence from the crowd. At first sight, it seems that they were protecting Daemon and Terrence, however; it was the other way around.

If an imprudent wolf tried to hurt Terrence it was pretty sure that Daemon would kill someone.

Daemon carried Terrence in a princess style and left the hall ignoring everyone, he walked as fast as possible to his room. On the way he asked his right hand to fetch him a doctor, however; Evan, the Spear's pack leader who saw all the events in silence sent one of his more trustworthy doctors to revise the omega.

He knew Daemon's actions were never based on his own feelings and above all, he was surprised to see the way Daemon, that cold and lifeless child that never cared for anything or anyone, was protecting Terrence with tooth and nail. It was the first time Evan saw him acting like that.

And it was an amazing view.

The rest of the guests were left in an uncomfortable silence trembling like jelly due to those pheromones only remembering the words of the strange voice

Ironically, they didn't pay enough attention, they only focused on the words CURSED and DESTRUCTION together and immediately found Terrence guilty of something.

While Yaney, an omega doctor was treating Terrence's eyes Orsen was surrounded by all the pack leaders who were desperate to hear the meaning of the unexpected "prophecy" so he asked them to leave the hall and went into a room to discuss what they were gonna do with that problem.

"Why did you keep that boy, Orsen?"

"That boy? He is his highness, Terrence, be more respectful!"

"You can't be so naive, why are you defending him like that?"

"I'm not naive, the sacred tree chose him and he is the last descendant of the royal family"

"Even if he is, you heard that, he is dangerous!"

"We have to deal with him immediately!" Caius was furious, he still believed that guy was the culprit of the death of his two wives.

"And how do you expect us to do it? He is your child Caius!" Rasha shouted at him with a furious expression, his husband Bastian only left one hand on her shoulder wanting to calm her.

"We can't jump to conclusions" Evan's deep and calm voice made everyone look at him curious. He waited for their attention before he continued "The voice was strange, if the goddess was going to give us a prophecy I assure you that wasn't her voice"

"But you hear what that voice said!"

"Yeah, I heard it. It said that the curse was going to destroy this world but it never mentioned Terrence"

All were surprised, now that they recalled it, it was true.

But something was strange… When they heard that voice they really thought that it was talking about Terrence but only at that moment they realized that Terrence's eyes were bleeding and he felt pain.

"How much do you know about the curse of your son, Caius?"

Evan asked again but the alpha was the most surprised. There was someone who told him that his son got cursed for murdering his stepmother but he didn't search for any information about the curse… he didn't even know what that curse was called.

When he heard what Terrence did, Caius abandoned him without hearing his son, it was as if he was blinded by hatred.

Daemon left Terence in his bedroom, the place was full of his peppermint scent, and that made Terrence feel a little bit better.

Yaney arrived as soon as she was summoned, however; she was extremely nervous, even when she was the best doctor for treating omegas every time Terrence moaned of pain Daemon looked at her so intensely as if he wanted to make a hole through her head so it was difficult to work like that.

After some minutes she ended the treatment and after she administered a painkiller for his headache she left the room.

Daemon's right hand, a beautiful and tall guy with blonde hair and honey eyes who despite his strong complexion was an omega approached him with an alpha with black hair and blue eyes.

"Your grace, please stop that already" the omega talk first looking at him with an angry expression.

"WHAT?" Daemon didn't understand what he meant by that and looked at him displeased.

"STOP releasing your pheromones like a wild BEAST, you are going to hurt your companion!"

After he heard that Daemon stopped immediately and looked at Terrence's face with that bandage on his eyes.

"I'm sorry… are you alright?" he sweetly asked Terrence.

"Jajajaja now you ask?"

Terrence could not avoid joking with him, he was also going to say the same before that guy nagged Daemon. The albino felt embarrassed but he forgot they weren't alone.

The blonde guy saw his leader amazed and scared.

"Who the hell ARE YOU? You're not my leader!"

"Don't be ridiculous Sasha, he is indeed our leader" The alpha with ebony hair looked at Daemon and smiled. "Your companion is beautiful"

A growl left Daemon's mouth when he heard another alpha giving compliments to his partner, even when he was one of his men.

"Keep calm, your grace I don't want to steal your companion" The alpha raised his hands looking at another place.

Daemon glared at him for some time before he realized something.

"Why are both of you showing up now? Where have you been?"

Both of them looked at each other with complicity and feigned ignorance.

"Dahak…" Daemon glared at the alpha but he only dodged his gaze "Sasha… EXPLAIN!"

The omega laughed awkwardly while he scratched his face.

"I'm sorry, your grace but your rut is kind of scary"

Sasha and Dahak were the first ones to leave the castle when they heard the news. They had some experience with Daemon's rut and that was something they didn't want to see ever again.

"What trustworthy allies…"

Daemon said it sarcastically but that made Terrence laugh.

The soft and beautiful laugh made Terrence forget that his guards left him alone during all his rut and were showing themselves now.

Sasha and Dahak left the room first thanks to Terrence's intervention and they waited there for Daemon.

…

Terrence was better but the pain was still there and Daemon knew because he also felt the same pain and itchiness in his eyes.

Thanks to the medicine Terrence soon fell asleep so Daemon left the room for only a brief moment to talk to Dahak and Sasha.

"Oh… the little prince falls asleep?" Sasha tried to steal a peek at Terrence but Daemon blocked him. "What jealousy… you know I'm an omega too right?"

Daemon raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms at his chest after he closed the door.

"And when did that ever stop you?"

Sasha looked at him with a strange expression, because he never thought his leader would know about his sexual life.

"H-how did you know that, your grace?"

"Who didn't know Sasha?" Dahak answered him without paying attention to his friend's shocked look.

Sasha was a strange case, had the appearance of an alpha from head to toe, firstly he was as tall as Daemon, had a big toned body, and masculine features, even his pheromones of sandalwood and cedar were strong and imponent so it was common for him to be confused as an alpha.

Apart from that, Sasha also was more attracted to omegas than alphas, and guided by the confusion he managed to have sex with them, however; some of the guys and girls whom he spent a one-night stand with wanted to be his companions but obviously could be impossible so he managed to make them found out that he was an omega too.

"I always wondered how you managed to have an erection with them… Are you even able to satisfy them?" Dahak was his best friend but he was still amazed by his strange behavior.

"Of course, I can, it's not so difficult, and my size is pretty good too… that's the only reason they don't demand compensation" Sasha shrugged his shoulders with a big smile.

Daemon and Dahak looked at him with a serious expression. They were convinced that Sasha was meant to be an alpha but somehow his destiny was mashed.
