Nick's POV
I can't afford to lose the money and power which I have been receiving throughout my life without any effort. I am actually dependent on my lifestyle, which comes with the money and power I get from the name Gareth. I have never tasted poverty or misery. I have lived like a prince all through my life. When I moved out of my parents' house, mom sent a bunch of maids for my help. Even now, I do have two full -time male servants at my apartment. It was my dad who ordered mom to keep away all the female maids from my place.
I still remember that day as it was yesterday. I was 21 then and was at the peak of my carefree life. One day, dad caught me making up with a chick inside an elevator. I was so drunk that I didn't recognise dad and almost kicked his crotch. If it was not for his bodyguard who pushed me away, I would have sent dad to the hospital that night. Next morning I woke up in my room at Gareth house all tied up in bed. At first I was shocked, then slowly I tried to remember what happened last night. The only thing I remember was being carried like a sack by dad's bodyguard. I didn't have the energy to even call mom. I have always tried to keep my'bad boy's image away from my parents. Then suddenly the door opened and in came dad. I could see his bodyguard stopping mom outside the room. Dad closed the door and got closer to the bed. He put a chair on and sat on it.
"I know you don't like to be one among us. But it's the truth and you can't run away from it. I also know that you are not going to change unless you find your true love, which I believe you will definitely find one day. But until then, I can't take any risks. V call. Do you remember how drunk you were yesterday? You didn't even recognise me. Then how would you know if you have used protection or not when you f**k your dirty bimbos? I don't want my successor to be out of wedlock or from some gold digger. That's why today I am going to show you the power I have always kept a secret from you and your mother. Just a few people in Gareth family know about this secret." Dad stopped and took out something from his pocket. It was a small pouch which he kept on the side table. He then began to undress me.
"Dad, what are you doing?" He didn't stop how hard I struggled. I now lay half naked as I still had my T-shirt on.
"Some males of the Gareth family inherit the power of magic through their genes. Not all men in the family have this power. It's been passed on based on birth time. I got it from my father and my younger brother Johnson also has it in his veins. We haven't checked it yet that our children also do have this power. We will do it once we pass on the Alpha position to the next generation. So I am going to perform some magic on you which will protect you from spilling your beans anywhere before you find your mate." After that, dad took some powder from the pouch and started to mumble some incantation. He rubbed the powder on my crotch until it fully absorbed it. It felt as if it was covered with some invisible disguise. I tried to have a look at it and it was the same as before.
"I will free you only when you find your true mate and mark her. It doesn't matter how long it takes. But remember the magic works for a maximum time of ten years. After that, you will become impotent for the rest of your life. The magic will vary away on its own when you mark your mate."
If his words were true, I just have two years left. I will have to find a mate in two years. It's still hard to believe that his magic worked. After that day, I never came inside anyone, even if I am using a condom. At first, I used to ride inside those holes like a mad man, almost tearing them. I used to come as soon as I pulled out. I understood the meaning of my father's words only after a few more trials with some other girls. After the realization hit me, I used to pull out whenever I was about to go. The magic actually saved me a lot of money which I would have used to buy condoms.
I sometimes wonder if I do have the same magical powers. What if I have? How will I know? Even if I have the powers, I don't know what he was saying while performing the magic. I always wanted to ask mom, but what if she doesn't know anything about it? If I wanted to ask her, what would I tell her? That her husband has done magic on my private part. Will she ever believe me? I would never have believed it if I hadn't experienced it myself.
If my dad's words were true, then I would have to mark someone before my 31st birthday. The main problem in front of me right now is to make a decision. He had just given me a time of 24 hours. Within 24 hours I will have to give him an answer. I just have two options. Either to marry Eleana Rozario or to find my mate within a month. But how will I do that? How will I know if someone is my mate or not? Will any human being in her right mind agree to marry a werewolf? I can always get someone using my money, but still she won't allow me to mark her and make herself a werewolf.
I am just going to go mad if I just keep thinking about it. I will have to relax if I need an answer. And my relaxation is always in one place. I took the car to the narrow streets that come to life only at night. I can't wait until night. I looked at the time and it was just eleven in the morning. I need the stuff to keep me diverted and I exactly know where I will get it. I stopped the car in front of a filthy night club. I have never stepped inside this dirty place. It's always the stripper club around the corner, which happens to be a rich area. Only the rich can afford to enter that place. But one can get the real stuff only in this filthy place. That's the main reason this place is famous among the rich. I never came here personally. I always have parasites who call themselves my friends to follow all my orders. Everyone knows my temper. Money speaks and so I never had to. As soon as my Land Rover stopped in front of that club or bar, a man came running from inside and bowed in front of me. I gave him a stack of money which he took and went inside. Soon he returned with a packet and handed it to me. I put the packet on the passenger seat and drove towards my apartment. I always make sure that I am in a safe place before consuming the stuff. It's going to calm me down for a few hours.
As soon as I reached my apartment, my servants came to welcome me. It's always like this. They treat me just like a prince or more like a king. If I don't make a decision soon, I am going to lose all my privileges. The thought itself makes me mad. I quickly went to my room and took a shower before taking out the stuff. I have tried my best to keep myself away from using this stuff. I always buy it for others. I have just used it a couple of times. But today I need this. I took a pinch of it and put it in my mouth. The moment it touched my tongue, the whole room began to revolve, making me forget everything.
