STRANGERS

Micage pov

"Who are you?",

It was the question everybody kept asking.

The group that appeared were four males and a female. I smelled two alphas amongst them.

A male rushed out from the group. One of the alphas. He ran towards the female beside me, taking her into his arms, sniffing her.

'I guess they are mates'.

The female had tears flowing down her eyes as she gazed at me. She withdrew from her mate's embrace.

"Hi am Lydia, this is my mate Xander, over there is Thomas, Adrian, Carl and Melissa. Thank you for saving me"

"Yes you have my thanks",

The guys whom I now know as Xander thanked me. Trying not to show his anger that he wasn't there to help her on time. His thoughts were something every mate would think.

"No problem"

I flashed a grin that had her cheeks a rosy red. Too bad she's mated if not she would have been a nice feast.

Observing the rest of the wolves who now surrounded the pair, I couldn't help but lock eyes with the other she wolf who stared impassively at me. Her chocolate brown hair tied in a pony tail, her enchanting amber eyes that brought memories from the nightmare I always had. The nightmare of the golden blonde woman with amber eyes identical to the girl in front of me. She was exactly my 6ft inch, and ooze an aura of dominant and something else that called to me. It wasn't a mate bond that I knew from my mother and Cole it was something like completeness.

"Do I know you from somewhere, you look kinda familiar?"

I questioned walking towards her to gaze more at how on heck I knew her. Her eyes flashed golden, it made mine flash also my wolf was at the front of my mind trying to reach out to the she wolf that felt like family.

"No... I believe not".

She whispered lowly, her eyes never leaving mine. The power I felt in her were strong even just speaking, she spoke with calculative boldness.

Something wasn't right here, I couldn't hear her thoughts.

"The name is Micage Salder",

I stretch forth my hand hoping she did take the bait so I could have Luca have a feel at her and she did. Stretching forth and clasping her hand around mine.

"Melissa Valsher"

She replied, her eyes glowing slightly. Making me know she was also summoning her wolf. How I knew this I knew not. She surprised me next by gasping loudly and jerked a step back.

"It can't be. It's really you"

Her amber eyes looked close to tears. I was rendered speechless by what she meant well mostly because I didn't understand the situation I was in.

Foot steps behind her alerted me of Cole and the rest to my friends. They had taken their wolf form and were here to help.

Cole assessed the situation before shifting back, he was quick to put on a short he had wrapped on his leg.

He locked gaze with me and I told him what happened more through the mind link I had which was faster. He walked towards the Alpha, Xander.

"You must be travelers since you don't smell like rogues. I'm Alpha Cole St Collins of the St Collins pack, can someone please tell me what the hell happened here?"

Xander squared his shoulder. He is the same height with Cole 5.8ft.

He walked towards him cautiously.

"Alpha Cole, I am Xander Valsher , son of Alpha Mathew Valsher from Valsher pack in Arkansas this here are my pack mates. My mate Lydia, my brother Thomas and my sister Melissa, my friends Adrian and Carl.

My pack mate and I were on a mission when we encountered these creatures we know as Lycan demons.

We thank you for helping save my mate before anything would have happened".

They shook hands. I had almost forgotten the female in front of me it wasn't until I felt hands on my chest that I finally regarded her.

"What are you....."

She was quick to tear off my shirt like it was a piece of paper.

Stumbling backwards while her eyes landed on my birth mark.

"Xander, its him. He's the one"

"He's who?"

Thank you Martin for questioning that for me. It's frustrating that I can't hear her thoughts. She wasn't blocking it I just couldn't hear them. Luca was quiet which wasn't also helping me.

"Are you sure Melissa?, is he your brother Micage that mother told you about?", the guy Thomas walked towards us too.

'What the hell is happening here. Luca?'

"Yes he is. He has the mark"

She pointed at my birth mark again and the guy Thomas gasp too when he saw it.

"I don't believe it"

'Huh! Can someone please fill me in here'

"What are you talking about? he's Micage Salder not Micage Valsher".

Cole marched froward looking confused just as I am.

"Yes I know but he is my blood brother Micage. We were separated when we were pups"

Cole's confusion spoke more volume as the rest of my pack mates did.

"Em! Did you loose your marbles eh! Girly". Jung question softly while the rest of us agreed.

"She's telling the truth. My mother helped a man save her years ago. He told her to find her brother who bears the moon mark",

Xander tried explaining but we were still all lost. Well mostly because I don't remember mom ever telling me about my separated sister.

"I think it will be best if I ask my mother first before anything else".

"Mother? Mom is alive?"

'Okay that question is just too sad'

I nodded and she looked so close to tears.

"Yeah... My mother Emily Salder who nurtured me all my years"

I stated cautiously, watching her face fill with emotions that were strange to her.

"You are right Cage, I think we should asked Emily before anything else". Cole concluded also observing her.

I just had only one thought.

Was my life filled with strangers and just fake.

¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶

All my life I have only had one family which was Emily Salder, I believed she was my mother and the only family I had left since I never knew my father. Now I don't know what to believe, I feel nothing as I watch the words leave my mom's mouth.

"She's telling the truth, she is your sister, your twin sister".

Who knew she could hide a secret this big from me, the child who she considered her son, the child who she showered so much love on.

"Am not your biological mother Micage, neither am hers"

Her, some one like Emily Salder can do that.

"Who is the man who gave me to Irene, who are our real parents?",

The girl whom am still considering as my sister asked. There was no resemblance between us apart that we looked the same age, were the same height and had the same shape of eyes, had the same weird birth marks and the aura of dominant alpha wolves. Nothing else from that.

"The man who was with you is Davis Trevor, he was a personal guard to your late mother queen Ivory King".

Frozen silence was what was left after that big declaration. Melissa looked so lost just as I was. I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and went outside away from these strangers that were soon to become more than just strangers.

Wow I still can't believe Emily isn't my mother and my real mother was dead and a queen. Then that means my father was Alejandro King, the werewolf king and last Alpha king. Wow so I was royalty after all but still it hurts.

It hurts because I was left, hurt that my mother wasn't my mother and my real mom was dead.

I was also enraged because my kingdom was being ruled by cruel beings.

'So this was what I have always been destined for, it wasn't just to protect humans and the weak but to rule a nation'

Soft foot steps alerted me of an intruder, which got me surprise because I believe nobody comes to the beach at this time and it was one of my secret place.

"Molly?"

"Hi Micage"

I blinked, my brows moving upwards in shock at seeing her here with her white blonde hair and hazel eyes.

Molly looked uncomfortable standing under my piercing gaze, She sat beside me leaving a huge gap between us. She focus her concentration solely on the beach and not at me as I was still staring at her in question.

'Did Cole send her here, but no one knows my secret place not even Cole or any of my friends'

"Ahem! I couldn't help but notice how lonely you looked so I decided to come quick before you think of something like jumping off that cliff, ha! ha!"

Her cheeks were pink. She wore a blue jean and a jacket to wade off the cold, her shoe made me consider that she had been here for a long while.

"I wasn't lonely and I wasn't thinking of jumping off the cliff"

I murmured staring ahead into the water suddenly feeling at ease with her presence.

"Oh! Thats good I guess. Then what are you doing here all alone by this time?"

I move my gaze towards her. Locking eyes.

"I would ask you the same"

I notice her try hiding her blush. This was strange, Molly and I don't usually have this kind of conversation.

Its quite refreshing.

"I came here to think",

She finally replied. Drawing her legs closer to her body.

I sigh

"I came here to think also"

There was a peaceful silence as the both of us let the peacefulness consume us.

"So what are you thinking about?"

I considered not answering but thought otherwise. What was the crime in telling her bits.

I sigh again. This was wolves stuff and Molly is human.

"Am thinking about what am going to do now that I find out my mother isn't my real mother whom is dead and the girl in my house turns out to be my biological twin sister that was separated from me after birth".

Silence.....

"Oh!"

Silence.

"Err, that is a lot to think about"

Silence.... More silence.

"Have you considered listening to the full story?"

Silence.

"Am thinking of doing that, it just that I don't know what to expect I feel as though finding out will change a lot in my life"

Silence

More more more silence.

"Why don't you just take the risk and see how it goes"

More peaceful silence

"Am afraid of that.... Of how big of a risk it will cause me"

Awkward silence.

"Why should you be since you will be reconcile with your only true family and besides the Micage I know is a fighter not a coward"

Ticking awkward silence.

"I guess you are right"

Calm silence.

"Thanks Molly"

Silence

"No thank you Micage.... For err earlier, I mean saving me today, this morning, in school"

I smirk at her nervousness

"You are quite welcome Molly".

Peaceful silence.

I never realize,

I never knew how beautiful Molly looked under the moon light. It was like I was staring back at a stranger and not the girl next door I kind of grew up with. Her long blonde hair that was almost white compliment her pale skin, her lips pink and full, her hazel eyes a litter shade like bootled green flames.

Wow!!!! She looked like a angel, a very beautiful angel.

"Err I had better head home now, its late"

She looked hesitant and uncomfortable, it was cute watching her squirt and hearing her interesting thoughts

"Wait!"

I heard her heart beat pick up. It made me smirk.

"How are you going to get home?"

There was no way I was letting her go how alone at this hour, I might be a dangerous beast but I was also a well breed gentleman.

She gave me a look like I was stupid,

"I'll take a bus"

"Not by this time you will. Come on I'll walk you home I need to head back also"

I walk by her watching her blush intensively the whole way along also almost finding it difficult to stop myself from laughing out loud and acting cocky with the way her mind was blabbing words about oh great me. Shame on me for always being selfish, the feeling is never returned.

In time we made it to her house which was across mine, I would have let her go in herself but there was something about watching her go in , the feeling of protectiveness strong in my core.

"Err good night Micage"

I watched her blush all through the walk, her breathing speed , nervousness eat her up.

It was really cute knowing that behind that tough skin laid an emotional girl.

"Good night Molly"

I give her a real grin one she blushed at before heading in.

Two steps away from her door, reality came rushing in also from Cole who came rushing towards me, a huge grin on his face.

"Bro, where have you been, forget that your sister is super hot, gods your family must have good sexy genes"

My face crunch in discomfort, I knew my sister was beautiful and it would give me extra work protecting her from the likes of Cole but still hearing it from my best friend was.....

"Ew Cole, dude that's my sister alright don't say that"

He chuckled deviously.

Behind him I noticed her amber eyes staring back at me. Relief pure in them then it happened.

Our eyes met and our wolves embraced. I felt Luca jump in delight as he whispered a name that was sure to be Melissa's wolf.

"Lyca"

Her wolf whispered back in glee,

"Luca"

They spoke to each other blocking me out and confused once again.

I felt connected to my sister in a way, like my connection with Luca, I suddenly felt her emotions which were the strongest.

'Lost, pain, hope'

It was like I knew her all my life. The look in her eyes made me also know she felt the same thing.

"Cage we all decided to spend the night here since there is no means to go anywhere this night in case those demons are still out there. Xander also agreed to stay with his mate, brother and your sister at Molly's place. Don't worry I already told them that she's human and mustn't know of our existence at least for now"

True but still...

"What about the other two?"

Cole looked guilty in a way .

"There is still an extra room they can use so we thought of leaving them at your place"

'Also for safety but who was I to argue when all this still seem surrel to me'

I walk over to them with Cole close by but my attention was on my sister. Her eyes were so identical to the woman in my dreams.

"Err I'll take you to a friend's house to spend the night"

For some reason my voice was raw, like my emotions wanted to burst out. Luca was like a vacant space in my head and I missed him already.

Her ears perked out probably feeling the same.

'Curiosity'

Who wouldn't. We looked nothing alike except for the shape of our eyes yet we felt the same like one entity, it was like our hearts beat in sync.

I turned back walking towards Molly's with her following behind him along with Lydia, the Alpha, Xander and his brother Thomas.

The others Adrian and Carl were going to stay at my house for Cole's precaution, ugh!. But an Alpha have to do what an Alpha has to do.

'Protect the pack'

Arriving there I knocked gently on her door, feeling her anxiety before she opened.

"Oh hey Molly, em! do you mind if my sister and her friends spend the night here?"

She was obviously shocked by my request, but still quick to turn into an house keeper, making sure to avoid my gaze away from her red cheeks. I still saw them and smirked.

"This way. I have two free rooms you can use"

They followed her up the stairs, while I watched from below. Once again our eyes met.

'Gratitude'

I was also happy that I now had a sibling, a true sibling and a true family.
