"You're my protrea? Where's your mark?" Amaris asked.
She felt something towards the Elven Prince, but she couldn't explain what it was. She wasn't convinced that he was one of her protrea, so she asked about his mark.
The Elven Prince suddenly took off her royal robe showing off his right arm. Amaris saw her father's mark.
"Why didn't you tell me that your son was one of my mate's protrea?" Zion asked while emphasizing the word mate.
Amaris knew that Zion sensed the same thing towards the prince. They both knew that the crown prince liked her romantically.
"I don't want the other elders to know that my son was a protector of a hybrid. I apologize Luna Amaris, if I sounded offensive, but the reason was because of my position as one of the elders of Terra. As one of the Elysian Elders, we should not side with anyone, including our family. You are considered a threat to all creatures, but my son does not believe in that. He could make his own decision. I don't want to meddle with his own affairs." King Rychell explained.
Zion nodded and looked at Alwyn. The princess, however, was just standing and listening to them.
"Do you agree with your son coming with us?" Zion asked.
King Rychell walked back to his throne and sat there. He looked at Zion directly into his eyes and sighed.
"It was his destiny. He was not a second-generation protrea. He was the first of our kind. Phelan, your father, chose my son even though he was still in my wife's womb. I don't know the reason. But he said he would be a greater protrea than a king of the Elven Clan." The king answered.
Then the prince and princess went back to their seats. Alwyn stared at Zion, then at Amaris.
"I am destined to die for you, princess." The crown prince suddenly blurted.
Amaris was surprised. She glanced at Zion then turned her gaze to the crown prince.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Creatures like us were created by the Gods and were given a mate. We could either accept or reject them. In my case, I was given a mate, but the woman I was destined to meet was already fated with someone else." Alwyn started.
The King and the princess were sitting quietly, listening to the prince. Amaris could feel the sadness in their heart.
"You are my mate. I already accepted that you belong to the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. I do not have a future. But I will gladly join you so I can protect you." The crown prince continued.
Zion frowned. He couldn't believe that his Luna had another mate even though it wasn't mutual.
"How could that be? The red thread of fate only has two ends. They were connected to two people only. There's no way that there could be three."
Zion commented.
"Alpha, everything is possible with the powers of the Gods. From the day we were born, our future was already written in the Book of Malum. We could never change that." The prince said.
After an unbelievable revelation from the Elven Prince, they were given rooms to rest for the night.
The room was approximately three hundred square feet, and it features French luxury paired with a modern touch. A gold and white marble floor was laid in a traditional chevron pattern.
The walls were glamorously embellished with magnificent patterns, and the ceiling was covered with exquisite design. It has a separate sitting area, a dining table for two, and a modern classic chandelier at the center of the ceiling. This room also has the best view of the city. A full-length one-way glass wall was added across the bed to see the beauty of nature outside.
"So what do you feel towards the prince?" Zion asked.
Amaris frowned.
"Do I have to feel something?" She answered calmly.
"I don't know. Maybe you're happy because you have two mates?" Zion said while sitting on the couch.
"Seriously? Are you accusing me of cheating?" She asked.
"No. I was just asking about your feelings towards the guy."
"Are you jealous?"
"What? I'm not jealous. I am the Alpha, and I am powerful than any guy, so I can never be jealous." Zion answered, not looking at her.
Amaris laughed. She walked towards him and sat on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled.
"You are my only Alpha. I was flattered, and at the same time I pity him. But if that was his fate, I cannot do something about it. I can be his friend. Nothing more. I love you. I belong to you."
Zion pulled her closer by grabbing her by the waist.
"You are mine and mine alone." He whispered.
"Yes. I am yours. Always and forever." Amaris answered, giving Zion gentle kisses on the lips.
"By the way, what did Shelly tell you?" Zion asked while they were cuddling each other.
"She said I am the bringer of death. She told us stories about Aunt Athanasia. I don't even know how she knew every detail. She also said she knew about your prophecy, but I wasn't able to ask her since you called me." She said.
"It's fine. We can talk to her again. Do you believe that you are the bringer of death?"
Amaris shook her head then buried her face into his neck.
"I don't believe in that prophecy. I would not accept that someone would decide about my future. I want to change that, Zion. If I really prophesied as the one who would bring death and destruction, then I would have to fight fate so it would not happen. Before, I did not care about other creatures living in Terra, but I suddenly appreciated all those around me after meeting you. Now, I know how amazing they are."
"Me too. I will fight with you. Whatever happens, I will stay with you. Let's look for the last protrea and go to Tartarus." Zion answered.
"Tartarus? How about Mirrikh?" Amaris frowned.
"I don't think Phoebus is in Mirrikh.. He's now in the Underworld."
