Filed to story: Oh For Mates Sake Free Online
“I’m, sorry?” I felt like I had to apologize to her for saving my life. It was clearly a disgusting inconvenience for her. “Why did you save me?”
“Because you are the marked one.” I watched as she laid down in the grass trying to rub it over her body. What did the marked one mean?
“The what?”
She stopped what she was doing to point at my face. “The star! The mark! Do you not even know your own mark?”
“This?” I pointed up at the side of my face. “The mating mark from my mate?”
I listened as she scoffed and shook her head.
“Id.iot. That is a celestial mark… a blessing from the deities. You are with a blessed mate… you know… a celestial maiden. Someone chosen by the gods because of their importance.”
“I heard she had received blessings from the goddesses-” I started to say, and she clicked her tongue, snapping her eyes up to mind in irritation.
“This is why canine shifters annoy me. They don’t pay attention to things that they should. The deities leave things in this world to help keep it safe. In a time of great tragedy there are things that will be here to help protect the world from total destruction. There are bridges, doorways, keys, weapons, and champions.” She shrugged and shook her head. “You have also been blessed. I mean drowning people is sort of my thing… but your mark called me to save you. I was commanded to rescue you.”
“Commanded, by who?” I asked, and she looked at me as if I was an id.iot.
“That doesn’t concern you.” She clicked her tongue, shaking her head. I reached up and touched the mark on my face.
It was more than a mate mark it was also a type of blessing. I looked at the woman in front of me. I couldn’t tell exactly what she was, but I think she was some type of fairy.
“Are you a fairy?” l asked and the woman sighed in exasperation. I didn’t realize it was offensive question, but I guess it was.
“l am a high dark fairy you mongrel. A kelpie. And my poor body has been tainted by your filth! Ugh.. I smell so bad.”
I stood up, taking in my surroundings. I looked over at the kelpie and nodded my head in appreciation. “Thank you for saving me. I need to get back to someone so if you could point me in the right direction.”
“It’s Epona. And I didn’t agree to help any more than I already have. You are lucky you are alive. Stay out of the water, pup. You are no water dog.”
The woman then jumped into the river, vanishing without telling me where I was. I mean, I was grateful to be alive. I just didn’t know where I was, and I had to get to Clover. The sun was just starting to rise, so it was morning… but what morning? I had no idea how long I had been here or where here was. Yeah, I could figure it out, but I just wanted to run towards Clover.
According to Epona, the magical vortex just spat us out. I could be anywhere. Who knows where the random hole opened. The wind began to blow tossing the leaves around me. On the breeze, I could hear a faint whistling sound that was growing louder. From the shadows a man dressed in all black with a long dark trench coat walked towards me. His hands were in his pockets, and he wore a black cowboy looking hat. His face was hidden in the shadow the hat made as he continued to whistle.
“Nice day for a swim, eh?” The man lifted his head and grinned at me. It was the same bass sounding voice from the black void I was in. His eyes were covered by dark sunglasses, so I couldn’t see his eyes. Something about him made my body tense up. I didn’t know who he was, but my beast could sense he was dangerous. I took a small step away from him, not wanting him to get too close.
“Wise. Those are great qualities to have young Alpha Sion.”
Okay, that got my attention. How did he know my name? And if this was the man who saved me, he had to have qreat power. I narrowed my eyes at him as I prepared to shift if I needed to defend myself. I didn’t know what he wanted of me.
“Now, that is no way to act. Especially not to your savior. Who do you think ordered the kelpie to save you?”
I tightened my hands at my side, feeling the deathly aura emitted from this man. I rolled my shoulders back and stood confidently in front of him.
“You did… why? And kelpies belong to the fairy kingdom so why would she listen to you?” I didn’t feel like he meant me any harm, but my beast was restless in this man’s presence. He may have brought me back to life but I didn’t trust him.
“They belong to the fairy kingdom of course but kelpies are dark fairies. They can belong to the blessed and the unblessed. We tend to get along because of the games they like to play.” The man’s voice was like ice. Cold and collected. This man was here for a reason, and I wanted to know who he was and what he wanted.
“The games they like to play?”
“Yes, games that interest me like drowning creatures.” I watched as the man’s l!ps curled up.
The man stepped closer, but l held my ground, staring at the stranger. “How do you know me? You know my name… what is yours?”
“Of course, I know your name. A piece of my powers has been granted to you in that little mark.” The man lifted his hand from his pocket, pointing at my face. So, this man was implying he was a deity… but I thought only the goddesses blessed Clover? “t was her mother’s last demand before I took her life, guiding it to her next destination.” Wait a minute… was he saying he was death? The one in charge of collecting the souls of the dead. “l am the one who allowed you to live. You died.. I could have collected your soul… but I held it…”
“Because you want something,” I stated plainly and watched as he shifted to face me fully.
“His large frame body held eerily still as his hidden eyes stared at me… me.”
“Yes.”
“I figured that is why you decided to save.”
“I’m not so kindhearted that I brought you back just so you can live. There is more to it. You died with my powers inside of you. Powers that were exchanged by the mate mark. You now live with enhanced power. A power you only have now because I made sure you lived.”
I could see where this was going. He wanted me to use these powers on something. And I honestly, I owed him. I was alive and would get to see Clover again because of him. Whatever he needed of me I was ready. It is what l agreed to.. anything.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Good, it is better if you just accept your fate because it can’t be changed.”
Okay, that I didn’t like the sound of. I thought he just wanted me to do something.. now it sounded like I was being given a new role.
“Now wait… I have a pack. I am the Alpha of the Chance pack and I have a mate who–“
“None of that has changed but you have. You are no longer a lycan… you are now a lupine. The first of your kind, larger, stronger… more advanced in every way. You will create a new species that will be a champion in the future. For you to receive such a gift, there is a price. One that will be your burden.”
l am no longer a lycan? I didn’t feel any different. I narrowed my eyes at the man in front of me and, in a low growl, I asked him, “Who are you?!”
“l am Reapus, the death phantom. And you… are no longer just Alpha Sion. You are a lost soul collector. Someone who can put tainted spirits to rest. You are now the death lupine… Anubis. Anubis… you can choose again.”
“Hold up. I’m a soul collector? Anubis?”
This was very overwhelming, but as he spoke, I felt a power growing inside of me. “And choose what exactly?”
“When you died, the bond that you had with your mate cracked. You can choose to mend it or you can choose a new fate. You can choose a new mate.”
I scoffed at the death phantom. Reapus, was a death god, the one most referred to as the Grim Reaper. He guided willing souls on their way.
The souls that refused could become tainted vengeful spirits. He never came back for them. This was now what he was tasking me with, to collect the lost souls of the world. Honestly… I didn’t care.
As long as it meant I could be with Clover I would do anything.
He was telling me I could choose a new mate.
He didn’t understand. Not even death could sever our bond. So, it put a c0ck in it.. I would reclaim her again. I would rechoose her over and over. Through every lifetime. She was the only one for me.
“Choosing her will mean your descendants will shoulder a heavy burden. It will be up to them to.”
“There is no other choice. There never was a choice. It’s her. Always… only.. forever.. it is her. Alive and beyond death… I choose her. Whatever that will mean for the future.. I am confident any descendant of mine will find a way.” I met his eyes confidently as a smile crept across his l!ps. He nodded his head and stuffed his hand back into his pocket. He nodded his head in the distance and I followed with my eyes. I now noticed a small child leaning against a tree. The child’s gray body was curled up in a ball, silently lying there.
“It is now time for you to learn how to do your job. Shift, Anubis!”
