Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 94

Silver, white hair hangs over a full, lively face. Glittering silver eyes like crystals, set appealingly within their sockets, watched intently over the village he had become enchanted by for so long.

His soft and white skin elegantly compliments his long hair and leaves a delightful memory of his past.

This is the face of the crown prince of the Elven Clan, Alwyn, a pure-blooded among the white elves. He was born to be one of the protectors of the child of the moon.

The Demon Prince Phelan and the Moon Goddess, Selene, searched far and wide across Terra to look for five creatures who could protect their child from the Gods.

The Elven Queen, Elmyra, was taking a stroll in Redwood Forest and saw Phelan unconscious. She helped the Demon Prince and attended to his wounds.

“What are you doing here? This is part of the Elven Clan Territory?” She asked.

“I was looking for powerful warriors across Terra to protect my unborn child. I have no time left. The Gods had erased my memory, and it was too late when I regained it. I am already a mortal. I will not be able to protect my child from my enemies.” Phelan said.

The Elven Queen pity the Demon Prince and the Moon Goddess. Their child was a product of forbidden love. No one expected that a creature of Caelum would fall in love with a creature of the Underworld. But no one could actually blame them.

They all believed in fate and destiny. They were destined to meet and fall in love from the moment they were born. Love can never be wrong if your heart’s intention is pure. The queen thought to herself.

Phelan looked at the Elven Queen and noticed she was pregnant. He frowned when he suddenly felt something towards the creature inside her.

“Your son would be a great king someday.” He whispered.

Queen Elmyra was surprised. She didn’t know that her baby was a boy, so she was confused about how the demon prince knew about it.

“How did you know that?” She asked.

“I can smell him. One of my powers was to imitate and absorb someone’s power. My sense of smell towards a powerful creature was stronger than anyone. I can smell your son’s powers.” Phelan answered.

And without a word, Phelan touched the queen’s womb and transferred some energy to the creature inside her.

“I, Phelan, Demon Prince of the Underworld, the fifty seventh child of Asmodeus and Lilith, King and Queen of the Underworld, chose you, crown prince of the Elven Clan, as the protrea of the child of the moon. You are destined to protect and give your life to her.”

After saying those words, the Elven Queen fainted. When she woke up, she was already in the castle.

Months passed, the queen thought that all was just a dream. But when the crown prince was born, a mark appeared on his arm. Right there and then, she knew that the mark belonged to the Demon Prince Phelan.

Growing up, the crown prince had dreams and visions about a girl he would love and protect. He couldn’t see her face because of the blurry images he saw in his dreams.

But before his mother died, she told him about his fateful encounter with the Demon Prince. At first, he didn’t believe it, so he went to Mirrikh to talk to Phoebus, the Prorosisté, and asked him about his doom.

“What your mother told you was the truth. The Demon Prince Phelan chose you to be his daughter’s protrea. And you are fated to fall in love with her. The other end of your red string of fate was connected to the hybrid. She is your mate, but she would never accept you as her mate.” Phoebus said.

“Why? If she’s my mate, then why would she reject me?” He asked, confused.

“Because she is fated to the Legendary Alpha. And you are destined to die for her.” The oracle answered.

He hated it at first. How could he die for someone he had never met? He only sees her silhouette in his dreams, but he admits he was already attracted and curious about her.

Then a few weeks ago, news flew across Terra that the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack had already found his mate. Zion, the Legendary Werewolf who the Gods favored, and the one who was given immortality.

His heart felt like it was being stabbed a thousand times, knowing that another creature had already claimed his mate. He envied Zion from being the favored one.

When he learned that his mate was fated to the Alpha of the Book Pack, he searched to have information about him. He was given powers by the Demon God Orcus and the Sky God Hyperion. The Goddess Terra also gifted him by turning the planet into a beautiful place again.

Maka, the mother God, gave birth to four elemental gods. Ignus, the Fire God, Aqua, the Water Goddess, Ventus, the Wind God, and Terra, the Goddess of Earth. Among her children, Ignus and Aqua always disagreed with one another, attacking the other using their powers. With that, the humans were scared of them. So Maka took their elemental powers and randomly chose a creature to inherit them. Zion was still in her mother’s belly when Maka gave that power. How lucky, he thought inwardly.

The day the couple met with the Elysian Elders, the crown prince begged his father to take him. He wanted to see the woman in his dreams since the day he was born. Out of pity, King Rychell agreed.

When he saw Amaris, his heart felt the love he had inside him. He could feel the bond towards her, but at the same time, it was tearing his heart into pieces. His mate was standing in the center with another man, and he couldn’t do anything about it.

He couldn’t even tell her that he was also her mate. It was painful to see her with Zion, but he had already accepted his fate. His sister was against it, but his heart could never take another pain if she were far away from him.

His father told him that she was looking for her protrea and that she would come to the Elven Clan Territory to ask him to join them. He was happy to know that they would finally meet in person, and it was an honor to be her protrea.

When they entered the throne hall, he saw her walking towards them, and beside her was Zion. She was breathtaking, so he couldn’t pretend or deny his attraction towards her.

He knew she felt something towards him, but he wasn’t sure if it was because she was his mate or something different. When he took her hand and kissed it, he saw the frown on her face.

He looked so weird, and he knew that. But he couldn’t lie to her anymore, so he told her the truth. He didn’t tell them so she could choose him over the Alpha. He knew that was impossible. He just wanted to be honest with her.

She was surprised, of course. He thought Zion would attack him, but it didn’t happen. He just asked how it happened, and the prince answered Zion.

He was told that they would be leaving in the morning to look for the last protrea. Their next destination was the Atlantean Territory, or the creatures who lived in the ocean.

Ocearia, an underwater city governed by Queen Nerida located in the deepest part of the Ethereal Ocean, was abode by different creatures of the sea.

He packed his things with the help of his sister, Princess Elmyra, who was feeling anxious about his decision.

“How about trying to seduce her?” Elmyra exclaimed.

“What? That’s a crazy idea.” He chuckled.

He knew his sister was just worried about him. She had been worried ever since she found out about his doom.

“Maybe if she chose you, you would not die.” Elmyra answered.

She had an edgy look on her face, so he took her hand and smiled at her.

“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me, okay?”

“Brother, I don’t want to lose you.”

He sighed then cupped his sister’s face.

“I will try to search for a way to fight my fate. I vow I will come back here. Will you promise to wait for your big brother?” He asked.

Elmyra pouted but nodded at her brother’s question. She knew he couldn’t do anything about it. His doom was written in the Book of Malum, so it would definitely happen no matter what.

“But if you seduce her, maybe she -”

They were interrupted by a low growl just outside his bedroom door. The prince stood up and opened the door to see who it was. To the siblings’ surprise, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack was standing in front of them.

“Can we talk?” Zion asked.

The crown prince nodded in agreement and followed Zion while the princess was left behind dumbfounded.
