I Claim Your Love

"You are the Master.. You are the higher being.. You are Zaccai; the Elemental Supreme..!"

Aurora's eyes desperately searched Callan's as if she was waiting for something.

Callan knew he had to say something.. anything. His lips moved but no words formed. His mind froze at that moment. He willed his mouth to utter any meaningful vocables but his heart thumped as his capability of thinking was shrinking.. Finally when he got hold of himself he exhaled briefly as his lips quivered and he shockingly whispered "It-It cant be..! H-How..!"

Aurora again pointed to one of the parchments wherein a man was raising his arms towards the sky as if embracing the heavenly body. The clouds were angry and were painted dark as a hollow cylindrical air body, tapering towards the end was bubbling its anger to the ground whereas the dazzling white lightnings were cracking the airspace, adding to the horrors of the sky. The image was chilling, horrifying yet magnificent. The image was greatly impactful and in a way it showed the mightiness of the being. It captivated Callan greatly..

"What differentiated the Elemental supreme from the others was that he was the sole master of the sky. He was the only one who had control over the heavenly bodies."

Callan slowly nodded when he registered what was being said. The person in the picture was actually commanding those disasters to descend on the earthly beings! It was insane! "The black color is for sky?"

Aurora nodded in affirmation.

The gesture silenced the man as he stood from his place and gently oscillated his foot near the large tree. His face was inscrutable while his thoughts were contemplative. He frequently exhaled long deep breaths and fisted his hands in and out.

The stillness in the environment unnerved Aurora. It was to the point that she could hear her own heart beat. There was a slight tremor in her hands as she looked at the unreadable face of her friend. She was not accustomed to this side of Callan. She desperately wanted to know the reaction of the man or perhaps know what he was thinking right now.

Unable to control herself anymore, she stood from her place in a jiffy and desperately pleaded "Say something please!"

The words halted Callan in his tracks and he scowled at the witch "What do you want me to say?" he almost whispered "My brain has stopped working altogether. This is all too much to handle. As if me being the unknown, unacknowledged mate wasn't enough now you are saying that I am some sort of a magical being who was extinct or some Master who has been born again! This is making me crazy..!"

Aurora cautiously stepped towards the man "I know it is a lot to handle but this is who you are and you cannot escape it."

Callan lowered and raised his head briefly before resuming his journey to the pensive world. Up until now his main concern was to find a place of respect in the pack. That dream was long crushed. He never had high hopes from his mate. On the contrary he never even imagined how his mate was going to be. The only thing he was sure of was that the mate if any would be a female. Even that hope was squashed! And now when he realised that he was destined with the moons blessing he was clueless about everything... He never had any relationship with a man. Hell he never even imagined his better half to be a man!

Callan's cause of concerns were only mounting when he suddenly remembered that he was a part of the legend. A past life which he doesn't recollects anything about. Moreover he has been bestowed by some mystical powers which were beyond his understanding. He did not know why he was given those powers or how to use them in the first place. He mindlessly palmed his metal and revolved it around his wrist "What happens if I don't wear this bracelet?"

"You still don't know how to use your powers or more importantly how to control them. A flicker of emotion can cause a disastrous natural calamity. The metal you are wearing is enchanted by ancient verses. It was made by the elementals themselves. Its main purpose is to keep your emotions at check. In a way it warns you by glowing."

Callan nodded as he sat on the wooden log again and looked at the moon with keen interest. A day had changed his life forever. He was not the man he thought he was. Moreover after knowing the truth about Einar he did not know how to react. The bond did not affect him any which way. This also meant that Callan was free to choose if he wanted to be paired with the alpha or not.

But did Einar leave him any choice?

Einar had already chosen a female as his Luna. If he wanted Callan in his life he would have acknowledged him way back. Furthermore Rosaline's life would be jeopardised by any interference from Callan's side. If she had agreed to mate Einar it meant she knew what was at stake. She knew the dangers of a forced mating. Even then she took the risk and hailed Einar as her alpha, her mate.

Callan realised there was no point making things more complicated than they already were. The damage was already done..

"What are you going to do now?" The healer startled Callan. He turned his back to look at a hopeful Aurora.

Callan stood face to face with the healer and with determination in his eyes he said "I am going to stick to my plan Aurora. I will be leaving this pack forever. My resolve to escape this place has become more stronger now."
