Chapter 1 DALIA

DALIA

My name is Dalia, daughter of the moon goddess. Yes my mother is none other but the famous moon goddess who is known as the creator of the werewolves. My mother sent me to meet my mate. A mate who swore to kill me once he met me. Guess what… I fucking have the best mother who doesn't mind if I die. My mother said that I was born for a purpose. I'm not like her other kids. I have a destiny to fulfil. An inevitable war is coming and it is my destiny to stop it. How do I stop it? I fucking don't know.

My mate, Ezekiel, is the Alpha King of the werewolves. He's powerful and fearless. He's the cursed lycan. Yes, my mother cursed him a hundred years ago, and that's why he hates me so much and will never accept me as his mate.

One hundred years ago, my mother told him that he will be mated to her daughter Dalia, and he will help me fulfil my destiny. He told my mother that over his dead body he will accept me as his mate. I was yet to be born then, but this big bad alpha has been looking for me for a hundred years to kill. If not for my mother hiding me far away from him, I'm sure I would be dead by now.

I still can't believe that my mother sent me to meet a man that wants me dead. According to her I will be safe. She so much believes in that mate bond of hers. When will she realize that that thing doesn't always work because if it does, why would mates reject each other or even torture each other.

Well, I'm no longer a child. I'm twenty years old. I trusted in myself and in my powers to protect myself. If the big bad alpha tries me, I will fucking whip his ass. I am Dalia, the daughter of moon goddess and no one fucks with me. My mother calls me the moonfire, because I am the light that survives darkness, and a burning power born from destiny.

Here I am, making my way to the Midnight Pack, the pack of the Alpha King. The most powerful lycan that has lived for one hundred and twenty years. Don't get me wrong, he's not a grandpa. Lycans age very slowly. Even more than werewolves. In the human world, Ezekiel looks like he's in his mid or late thirties.

I look up at the tall building still hidden in the woods. I take a deep breath.

I can't be fucking nervous…. Am I?

No, I am prepared for this. Well, I didn't choose this destiny for myself. Even if I fuck this up, no one should blame me.

I smirk, this is gonna be fun. “Here I come my fucking bad alpha.”

I'm about to make my way down his pack border when I feel something. Something dark… It is so heavy. I can feel it crawling on my skin.

Well, it looks like those assholes are clawing out slowly. The seal is slowly breaking. They are still hiding in the shadows.

Now that I'm here, hide and seek is over. It's time to fucking end this. I will send them back to hell where they belong.

In a fleeting second, the darkness vanished. They are not fools afterall… they are preparing. They are waiting for the right time to attack. Without the seal fully broken, they won't be in their full strength.

If only these werewolves and the big bad Alpha knew what was coming after them. They have been enjoying peace for a hundred years now. Well, I'm here to remind them that napping time is over. War is coming, and everyone should be on their toes.

I arrive at the Midnight Pack border. As expected, I was stopped by the wolves on guard.

“Who are you?” one of them ask ccoldly. I roll my eyes. Geez.. why is he acting like a puffed bread. I guess he should be strict and all that, but isn't he being too much?

“Nice height…” he's fucking trying to intimidate me with his height. Yeah I know that I'm 5”1, but I'm mighty. I'm not boosting, but I can easily take ten of them down at once.

“Answer the fucking question.” the other guard snaps. What is he..,, a two inch ruler? Who the fuck add him as the part of the partrol. Yeah I know that I'm short, but it's weird seeing a man that is my height. And a guard too!

“Out of the way kids, I don't have all day,” I say sarcastically. I smile, loving the rage on their faces. They are cute though, I love handsome guys. Human guys are handsome, but there is always something about wolf guys.

I notice there's only one lycan among them. A lot of Lycans died during the war one hundred years ago. And to say that only few lycans are born every century. It's hard to replace the number that died. Lycans are protectors of the wolf kingdom. And there are few Lycans living after many died in the war. If another war is to come now, without me, they don't stand a chance. I'm not boosting, but that's the prophecy. I can't change it.

“I'm here to meet my mate, Ezekiel. I've answered your question, so get out of the way.”

They look at me as if I'm a funny little thing. Of course they don't believe me. Their King is cursed, and most of them believe that he is cursed not to have a mate. He has lived for one hundred and twenty years and still hasn't found his mate. The curse is way beyond that. It is a punishment for a sin he committed years ago. I don't know the details of the story because my mother didn't tell me.

“Who sent you here?”

Yeah, I know they are doing their job, but they are fucking annoying. “Sorry guys, I don't have much time. Chit chat is over.”

I let my aura swirl around me as I gather the roots on the ground. I channel it towards them. I smirk at their shock faces…. Probably haven't seen something like this. Before they can process what is happening I've already tied them up with the roots. I tied them together. I giggle at the way they look like a huge fire ball.

I'm such a genius. This is a good way to bring peace if there is none among them. They should take a rest from work and have a good interaction.

“Who the fuck are you! Release us now!” they hollers, struggling with the roots.

“Stop struggling, it will only make it tighter. Don't worry, you guys will be free after thirty minutes…. And yes, I'm Dalia, the daughter of the moon goddess. I'm sure we will see each other more often. I will tell you about myself later.” I reply as I skip down the pathway, feeling excited. I love it when I use my power to taunt.

Big bad Alpha…. Here I come…
