Anything For You
Chapter 45

"Mother, who is Ozouf?"

This question was the only one which was making the Grand Empress shocked and surprised both at the same time. She was wondering as to what had happened that her son was enquiring about the First werewolf. She was in her own thoughts being confused as to why and what was happening. Since some days, she had been totally engrossed in the heavenly book. She was reading and witnessing all the things happening inside it lately and yet she didn't find out what were the dangers that Emerald could face and why the book got passed to them from the heavens aka fairies.

Her chain of thoughts broke when she heard King Azure aka her son asking her again the same question. Recollecting her inner self and shrugging all her thoughts and questions, she replied while still closing her eyes as she was mind linking with him ... "He was the first werewolf."

STUNNED..!

Totally and drastically stunned..!

"FIRST WEREWOLF.??" asked JASPER AZURE aka king Azure almost yelling his inner self making his mother flinch.

"Yes, he was the first werewolf who had been sent to the mortal world to found the werewolf clan and help the mortals to protect themselves from demons and other dangers." briefed Grand Empress regarding this matter to her son.

But Jasper was still not satisfied and still so many questions of him weren't answered. So, reluctantly, he asked again...

"Mother, if he was the first Werewolf, then why there is no information regarding him in the royal books and scriptures?

All I have known so far is that, Kanchel was the first werewolf king, then how come Ozouf..!!""

Finding it hard to digest that there wasn't a bit of information regarding the actual first Alpha werewolf, he was stuck in that question.

The grand Empress knew very well about her son that he wouldn't be satisfied as long as his all questions wouldn't be answered. So, she narrated all the information that she had got from the heavenly book.

Although it was formidable to read and transfer the book to someone else, but she was allowed to pass the information and she was only telling her own son, who is recent king.

So, she told him everything skipping the part how he was created.

"He wasn't the king, son. He was living like a normal human being and this continued till his 2 more generations before the successors started to gain and acquire wealth and became rich. They eventually acceded the throne and became kings.

That throne was passed on from generation after generation. All the werewolves that had ever been on the throne was having the royal blood of Ozouf." She completed the whole thing and then sighed in relief thinking that her son would have got all the answers to his all questions.

But suddenly, it occurred to her, why was Jasper. asking about Ozouf ? She thought..

'Clearly, he didn't know about Ozouf, nor do anyone else. Then how come, he was asking her about him?'

Rethinking and reshaping her thoughts, she asked him ...

"Jasper, if you didn't have any knowledge regarding who is Ozouf, then how do even know his name?"

This question took the king off guard. He wasn't prepared to answer this. But now, the Empress had asked it and so he had to answer this, or else.... "Mother, I met Amyl."

Just the mention of This one name was enough for the Empress to know that it was something urgent of very harmful for someone, because the royal family descendants only went to see Amyl in the times of dire need after what had happened to him and his family. He had strictly cornered himself from everyone. So, it was no way that he had befriended King and the duo caught up for a cup of tea.

No,.... It was something else.

Just when she thought of asking Jasper about why did he meet Amyl, she got a shadow of her late husband, Jasper's father.

She at once looked at the corner where he had been sitting on a rocking chair smiling lightly to her as he used to do when he was alive. Her heart was filled with warmth. But his timings were very weird. Whenever she was in slumber sleep, he used to visit her waking her up. And now, when she was talking to her son over an important matter, he is again here smiling like nothing has been going on.

"Don't ask Jasper anything, Luna. He is doing what a father should do." The late king suggested to which the Empress nodded understandingly and the late king's shadow disappeared.

One thing was pretty sure that whatever he had said, would definitely mean something because he would never visit her in her conscious state, if not the matter concerned is important. "Anything else, you want to ask Jasper ?" Questioned the Empress knowingly certainly that he would ask something else too.

"Yes, mother...

If Ozouf was the first werewolf, then how do I connect to him?

I need to talk to him." replied the king still getting anxious as the time was running out.

"Wait ...

The Empress mind linked with the Higher Official Werelords who had been there previously and got some spells which she told Jasper.

This was the only way to connect with Late Ozouf's soul who had been residing in the heavens.

The king Jasper Azure bid goodbye to his mother and then he hauled up from his sit. He stepped out of the room only to find the more anxious Luna waiting at the doorway for him. Before she could ask him anything else, he gave her a faint assuring smile which was enough to let her know that everything was going on smoothly for the time being.

He then took his long coat from the coat holders and stepped out of the castle with his beta and delta.

They reached the highest peak of the mountains present in the werewolf land. It was the area having a small house which looked like abandoned since ages and was somehow barren.

Then three males stepped inside only to be amazed. All the things were highly ordered and arranged .There wasn't even a single bit of sand of dust in any of the corner, which gave off an aura like the place had been perfectly cleaned before their arrival. He glanced over the things which were looking like, a family used to live here and these were their belongings. Even some clothes were there too. It didn't look like that the house and the things were almost 12000 years old.

Still, the king thought that may be Ozouf was because the royal werewolf, so may be he had used magic to preserve this house. There was a painting covered with a golden colored cloth. It was stacked to one side of the wall like it had been leaning on the wall. The beta approached it and tried to touch it but in return got a strong wave of electric current and was thrown out of the house. This was a surprising thing, because the king never felt anything like that when he touched the goods there.

The delta got to the Beta and healed him using his powers as he was a healer werewolf too. They both hauled up and assisted the king again.

This time, the king approached the painting and nothing happened. He took off the cloth slowly and got mesmerized by the contents.

It was a tall, handsome, and robust alpha male with a very pretty lady and three children standing in the snow covered mountain peaks. Behind them were sitting a few more people. They looked like a one happy family.

But what caught the attention was not the people, it was the signature on the right lower end of painting. He remembered his mother telling him how did the first Werewolf's signature looked like to ensure that they had been to the correct place. The painting was a proof that they were in the right place.

Confirming that they are at the correct place, the king Azure ordered his Beta and gamma to settle the mat for performing the ritual to connect with Ozouf. They prepared everything within a fraction of a second.

Jasper sat down on the mat facing the North direction in such a way that his body and his spinal cord was in alignment with the rising moon since it was the time of evening. Werewolves are powerful in the evening and are easy to connect with.

His beta and gamma left the house and stood outside at the gates to guard over for any danger. He started to chant the mantras which were told to him by the Empress. Soon, a blue flicker was started to emit from his whole body making the house look like it was a light house emitting blue color. It was the royal blood that he carried from Ozouf. It was the way to connect with him.

Now was the time to seek answers and Jasper was determined to do so, for his dear son, for himself and for his whole clan.
