Chapter 2 The Legend

Damien's POV “ What's the problem, Alpha Jakob? We had assembled the meeting last month. Why did you assemble it so soon? ” “ Because a very huge disaster is on our head, Alpha Blake. We are in a very dire situation right now. If we don’t do anything right now, our packs would become history for the next generations, ” “Alpha Jakob, will you please stop playing around the brushes and tell us what's the matter? ” “Ah... How to start, Has anyone here heard the name ‘ Titans ’ ? ” “ Titans? Do you mean the cursed pack? Are you talking about that legendary pack that is cursed? ” “Yes, that's what I'm talking about, ” “What's with that pack that made you worried like this, Alpha Jakob? ” “Yes, I have heard that this pack was extinct long ago. Why did you bring this matter up, Alpha Jakob? ” “Ah... I'm sorry to interrupt everyone but can anyone tell me what are we talking about? What's this ‘ titan ’ and why is it cursed? ” a soft Young voice sounded, “Ah... Alpha Jayden, you are too young. You have recently taken over Alpha's position after your father’s death, that's why you don’t know anything, ” a gossipy voice sounded and then continued, “ Let me tell you a legend. This legend says that there was once a pack named Titans who had done something very dark and inexplicable. This pack had done some deeds that forced Moon Goddess to descend herself, ” “What?? Titans made Moon Goddess descend? ”  The young voice sounded again, “ Why are you looking excited? There was nothing to be proud of, ” a strict cold voice sounded who scolded the young Alpha for praising Titans.      “Do you want me to shut up these bastards and announce your presence? ” Alex, my beta asked. I could see his eyes burning in fury while listening to these Alpha's conversation, “ No need... I would like to hear what else they know, ” I said while curling my lips up as I kept standing in front of the door to listen more before giving these Alphas my visit.   “ Don't be mad, Alpha Jordan... Alpha Jayden lacks knowledge. Let me tell him the whole story. Alpha Jayden, don't be reckless. You know nothing about this pack. Yes, Titans indeed made Moon Goddess descend for them, but it was not something that they could be proud of. Moon Goddess appeared, not to bless them but curse them. She cursed this pack not to be able to find their mate for eternity, ” The gossipy voice sounded again and so did the young voice, “ What? Moon Goddess cursed them to live without mates? It... It's a very harsh punishment for a werewolf. I would rather die than not be able to find my better half. What happened then? ”   “What would happen to a pack who can't find their mates? Titans which were considered to be the most powerful pack among all, became weaker and weaker day by day. A mating bond helps werewolves strengthen their power and when you can't find your mate, your power would start withering. The elders were worried. So, they start begging for mercy from the Moon Goddess. It's not very clear in the legend what did they exactly do but they made Moon Goddess appear again, ”   “What?? Moon Goddess appeared again? Is it even possible? ” The young Alpha might have choked on his drink after listening to the last sentence,   “ Yeah, she did appear... This time, she grant them mercy and made their curse a bit easier, ” “What did she do? ” “She told them about the golden wolf. The wolf that takes birth after every thousand years. She announced that this golden wolf will be the curse breaker of the cursed pack. Only a golden wolf can break their curse and revive the pack, ” “A golden wolf? I have heard that no one has ever seen a golden wolf. Do they really exist? ” Alpha Jayden asked, “ How can a golden wolf exist when her pack is already destroyed? ” “ What do you mean? Was there a whole pack of golden wolves? ” Alpha Jayden asked, “ Legend says that there was once a pack called, The Divine pack. They are as older as Titans. After every thousand years, a golden wolf would always take birth in this pack and that wolf would be treated as Goddess. But, after the news spread that the golden wolf can break the curse of Titans, the Alphas of other packs came into terror. They had once faced the cruelty of Titans, they didn't want that cruelty to come back again. So, they established a meeting and came to a conclusion so that they could stop the titans from breaking their curse, ” “They planned to wipe out the Divine pack, ” “What?? They... They ambushed the Divine pack instead of ambushing Titans? ” “Titans were on hide-out. It was hard to locate them and kill them for good. Ambushing the Divine pack was easier since there wasn't a golden wolf in the pack for the moment. So, they joined forces and killed every single member of this pack so that no one in the future can give birth to a wolf who will in the future give birth to a golden wolf, ” “ _ ” “ Is this even true? I mean, is there really a cursed pack like Titans and a golden wolf? ” asked Jayden, “ We all came to know this through the legend. No one was present hundreds of years ago. We can only put our faith in the legend. We don’t have any evidence about it, ” “So, what happened to the ‘ Titans ’ then? ” “They were hunted down by the other packs for centuries and finally disappeared from the world. Why did you mention them, Alpha Jakob? This cursed pack is long gone, then why are you looking so worried about it? ” Alpha Blake stated, I could hear Alpha Jakob's heartbeat, he was terrified while mentioning it, “ They have appeared. They are back again, ” “ Who is back? ” Alpha Blake asked, “ The Titans... They are back... And.. rumors are circulating that.. that the golden wolf has taken birth.. ” “ What?? How is it possible? Is... Is the legend really true? T.. Titans exist and the golden wolf too? ” The older Alphas who were narrating the story as if they had seen everything happening with their eyes, were now frightened to death and sounding more surprised than Alpha Jayden, “ But, wasn't the divine pack wiped out? How could a golden wolf appear? ” “ I don't know but rumors are that there is a couple who knows something about the golden wolf and Titans, I have heard that they are back. This time, with the strength no one can imagine.. ” “ Is... Is it really true, Alpha Jakob? ” “ Yes, It's true.. ” I announced while kicking the door open, grabbing everyone's attention at me, Alex immediately went to pull a seat for me as I sat elegantly on the chair before putting my feet on the table on which they were discussing something about Titans and the Golden wolf just to annoy these rascals. I could see the raising fury in their eyes for my manners as they ask with dark eyes, “ May I know who you are, young man? ” I curled my lips into a smile before shooting a glance over everyone as I said, “ I'm Damien Salvatore, the Alpha of the cursed pack ‘ Titan ’ ”
