The Alpha King's Hybrid Mate
Chapter 9

It was another full moon night, which signified that it was already a month that Zayne rejected Sara as his mate. He sat on his throne, and let out a deep sigh. He couldn't help but wonder who his new mate was going to be.

Several maidens were dressed in their most beautiful attires, each one of them praying hard to get a mate.

Zayne flung his gaze over all the people who had gathered in the pack's Market square. Everyone of them was in eager anticipation, and filled with joy.

The case was different for Zayne. Somehow, he had felt a lonley spot in his heart right from when he rejected Sara, which made him think if he had made the right decision by rejecting her.

A loud chanting was heard, and everyone turned their eyes in the direction. The moon priestess was seen walking towards the center of the gathering. She held a long staff, and some ladies, all dressed in white, walked behind her.

"Red moon pack, I bring to you the wishes of the moon goddess." The moon priestess said, and a silent murmur swept across the whole gathering.

"I have some news for everyone here, a good news, and a bad one." She paused, and registered the looks on everyone's faces.

Zayne also sat down tightly in his chair.

"The moon goddess had promised every unmated soul here tonight a mate. Everyone will go home with his or her mate." The moon priestess continued, and everyone jeered happily. She set out her divination beads, and all the unmated wolves started to transform into their wolf immediately.

The event went on, and everyone got their mate. Each one of them laying peacefully in the bosom of their newly found mate.

The moon priestess turned to take her leave. Something was wrong, wasn't it? Or was the moon priestess missing something. There was still one person who still hadn't gotten his mate, and the person was their supreme Alpha. Zayne stood up immediately and called back the attention of the moon priestess.

"Aren't you missing something, honourable moon priestess?" Zayne called out, which caused the moon priestess to halt in her steps.

"And what is that, if I may ask?" The moon priestess replied humbly. She turned around and stared at Zayne calmly. Zayne climbed down and walked towards the moon priestess, holding his golden robe as he walked.

"The issue of my mate. I guess you must have forgotten about it." Zayne spoke sharply, while the moon priestess took in a sharp breath.

"And that brings to the surface, the bad news." The moon priestess said, and everyone was filled with fear and grief. The aura that exuded the moon priestess added to their agony.

The moon priestess faced Zayne squarely,

"Here is the prophecy of the moon goddess; The mate that was given to you previously is your only mate in this life, and only she can be your Luna." The moon priestess paused.

All of them couldn't help but wonder who the moon priestess was taking about,

"Was that not Sara?" They all murmured silently.

"Do you mean Sara? I have rejected her as my mate, and she is even nowhere to be found at the moment." Zayne replied. A worried expression was found on his face.

"Countless deaths shall occur, the rivers shall run dry, and the lands shall be rendered infertile. Plagues and famine shall descend upon the pack, if Sara is not brought back and crowned your Luna within the next one month." The moon priestess finalized.

Everyone's mouth fell open, loud screams ensued in the whole gathering, as everyone feared the words of the moon priestess.

"Crown Sara? That cursed girl? As our Luna?" A woman yelled out from the gathering.

"But do we have a choice? Do you want to sit down and die here?" Another woman replied her.

Zayne let out a deep sigh, he paced the gathering in anxiety, and finally turned to the moon priestess. "Honourable one, is there no solution to this? We can have another Luna, it's not necessary it's Sara, right?" Zayne asked the moon priestess, who let out a bitter smirk.

"The solution is already part of the prophecy. Find Sara, and make her your Luna. Only in that way can the curse be evoked, and the whole red moon pack will be free from the disaster." The moon priestess said to him. She sighed, it seemed there was something more she wanted to say.

She moved closer to Zayne, and stared at him squarely.

"And most importantly, your days shall be numbered if Sara isn't crowned your mate, and the whole red moon pack will be left without an Alpha." The moon priestess dropped the bombshell and turned to be on her way.

Zayne found it difficult to believe what he just heard. His eyes opened wide, and his pulse raced. What made his blood boil was the indistinct mutters going on among the gathering. There was no doubt they all wanted a quick solution to the prophecy. He could even hear some people talking about running away from the pack.

"But which pack could receive them? The only nearby pack was the blue moon pack, and the two are very hostile to each other. Any wolf from the enemy's pack was never pardoned."

"All because of Sara?" He thought wildly. Multiple thoughts collided in his head, that he thought he was going crazy. He clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth.

He walked back to his throne, with a lot of thoughts in his head.

"Sara. I promise to get you back and make you my Luna. Wherever you are, you belong to me, and can only be mine!" He thought wildly as he heaved a deep sigh.

Meanwhile, Sara had found warmth in the hands of Killian, who was the destined and bloody enemy of Zayne. Only if Zayne knew of where Sara was currently, and the position she held in the place, he would have assembled troops immediately and crushed the blue moon pack. Or, was a cruel war about to erupt?
