Reborn As Cursed Alpha's Mate
Chapter 143: Deciphering The Prohecy

Chapter 143: Deciphering The Prohecy

Grabbing a feather, ink and a parchment from the cupboard Siroos hurriedly began to jot down the prophecy. Since he was the only one who had heard it, he wanted to note it down before he forgot.

But every word had been etched into his mind, he didn’t realise that yet.

It involved five people other than Cassandra, the goddess it referred to was her. The question arose.

Which goddess?

And then Siroos was reminded of Asara. She had stopped visiting their realm around the same time their pack was cursed. Now he knew he had done something to piss off the gods and he was secretly meeting someone during his original birth when he was Alpha Kael.

The implications and the unfolding truth had Siroos’s hands quivering. Did he fall in love with the ’goddess of love’?

Was this the reason he was being punished?

Could it be why his pack ended up cursed too?

It meant not only him but Cassandra was punished too. She had been missing for 500 years. Was she locked up somewhere?

Was she being reborn just like him but unable to find her way to him?

So many questions blasted his brain that Siroos felt light-headed for a second.

The door opened and Faris entered with swollen eyes. He moved slowly and threw one glance at his sleeping mother. She seemed peaceful but his brother didn’t.

"Is she well?" Faris questioned settling beside his brother.

"Just exhausted from the weight of that prophecy. It was long and seemed like it wasn’t from Arkiam. The voice was female and I wonder if it was from the moon goddess," Siroos explained while continuing to scribble down the words.

"What did she say?" Faris curiously asked, leaning over and reading what his brother was writing.

"I think I have figured out who Cassandra is and why we were cursed. It’s going to blow your mind, help me decipher it." Siroos paused and held out the parchment for Faris to see.

He began to read, and with every word he read his mouth kept widening in shock until it hit the ground.

Siroos was closely observing his brother, Faris looked away from the parchment with his amber eyes glowing like two coals.

"My SIL is a goddess reborn?" He asked in disbelief and Siroos could only nod, still reeling from the truths that had unfolded and will unfold in future as well.

"I knew it, I just knew she was special. She has a heart of gold," Faris shrieked in astonishment.

"I think she is the goddess of love so that makes sense why she forgives so easily. Why her heart melts and she can’t even hate her enemies? Why she doesn’t want to kill or hurt others, even animals? Everything makes so much sense," Siroos revealed what he believed to be true. It just felt right for her to be Asara.

Faris playfully bumped his brother’s bulging bicep and teased with a hint of a smile finally creeping on his face.

"You had to go and fall in love with a goddess, didn’t you? World be doomed."

Siroos half smiled in return as well.

"I wonder how we even met and how many people we angered."

"You enraged Arkiam, alright. I wonder if there is a connection between him and Asara?" Mortals didn’t know about the children of gods as they rarely visited the Earthly realm and most of the information was unknown to them.

"There has to be. Let’s read this together and figure out who is who. And where is this Tree of Hope we are supposed to search for."

Both brothers joined their heads together and read over the prophecy again. Siroos had thought he would forget it but somehow, every word was etched into his brain and he had jotted it down precisely as it was revealed.

"So the first person is you, there is no doubt. This seems like Lotus." Faris pointed to the second person. She had the Nature ability and undying love for her sister.

"I agree; Lotus loves Cassandra unconditionally; it means this will be her." Siroos agreed and they moved ahead to the third person. Faris rubbed his chin with his pointer finger and thumb.

"A man of ice, someone with the ability to manipulate water, someone who wanted to prove himself. Could it be Razial? We only know him with such ability, but it can be entirely someone else," Faris concluded, but he had a point.

"Lotus hates him because of his treatment of Cassandra and when I spoke to him, he was guilty. If it’s about redemption then he can be the one because he will follow Lotus to the end of the world, without question." Both brothers vehemently nodded at this and moved ahead.

"Well, that’s obviously me," Faris gleefully announced finally smiling after forgetting to since Ara had passed away.

"Yes, there is no doubt on this one. That is so you." Siroos patted his younger brother, who seemed to have matured profusely since Ara’s death and recent events. Standing up when it was required of him.

"Now the real question arises who is this last person?" Faris read it again but no one came to mind. Siroos was stumped too.

"I guess we need to figure this one out."

Then they moved further down to the details of how the curse would be broken and Cassandra Siroos and the pack would be liberated.

"It says we might need to take a journey, I am guessing to the place where this Tree of Hope will be," Faris guessed by reading the part that said the curse on them could be broken.

"Yes, and I guess it has to be a lunar eclipse or moonless night," Siroos added as they discussed and diced every word of the prophecy.

After they had spent an hour or so, racking their brains, Siroos said.

"Now we need to figure out where my mate is and how we are going to get her back. Let’s keep this prophecy between us for now. I don’t want the pack to have their hopes high until we figure this out."

Faris agreed with his brother but apologetically said. His eyes downcast.

"I am sorry, I don’t have words to apologise. It was my sacred duty to keep SIL safe in your absence and I failed. I promise to redeem myself."

Siroos quietly folded the paper to put it away and turned to his brother.

"Faris! What’s happened has happened. I know you were tricked by the mate bond. Anyone would be. Once we find the enemy we will uncover the truth behind that fox too. Mate or not, we will unravel everything."

Siroos placed an assuring hand on his brother’s slumped shoulder. He could sense how grieved he was. He not only lost Ara but he entirely blamed himself for the kidnapping of Cassandra too.

While the brothers held this conversation, Haylia stirred behind them and finally opened her eyes.

She focused on her elder son, all stunned and out of breath.

"Siroos, Cassandra is the goddess of love reborn. She is the key to breaking the curse and is Aylin and Arkiam’s daughter."
