TRUTH AND DESTINIES

"How you have grown, Melissa"

Emily teared up as she observed her from head to toe noticing the resemblance to the late queen and the woman she had become. Strong, confident, and filled with power just like her father. She never met him but heard a lot to know what the Alpha king was.

Melissa brow were raised her defense high. She wasn't used to this motherly attention.

Emily teared up the more,

"You were just a little baby when I held you in my arms, You cried louder when Davis took you from your brother it broke my heart"

"Then why did you?"

Thoughts of what ifs filled her mind, it was so tumbled Cage couldn't stop the frown that stayed on his lip as he watched his adopted mother and blood sister talk.

"Why did you let me go if you loved me so?"

Emily noticed the anger in her voice but the pain and confusion in her eyes, her heart reached further into her.

"Princess.... Melissa, I...."

"You know what keep your explanations I don't want to hear them"

She turned, ready to distance her self.

"Melissa, please my child listen"

"I am not your child, you are not my mother, I don't know you"

The tears fell loosely.

"Davis had to take you away, To keep you both safe, you three were being hunted, he thought since Micage was the next Alpha King he needed to be protected"

"What?!!!"

She yelled along with the others in the room, even Cage was hunched in his seat.

Emily shooked her head continuing nonetheless,

"But Davis was wrong,  he came back again badly hurt that he had lost you, it took weeks for him to heal and it wasn't easy since the royal wolves were still in search of him, he was so heart broken I had never seen him like that before he told me that he misunderstood everything especially the prophecy and you two needed each other to end the upcoming war.

      He also said you would come in search of your brother that he told the earth Magical everything to help you find him"

"Wait!, hold up. So who is the Alpha king? Why would Davis think like that and consider me useless"

Emily eyes widen, she took notice of the sharpness in her tone at the last part, she shooked her head trying hard to make her understand.

"No.... No.... It wasn't like that. The late king was the last and only Alpha king so Davis thought it would pass on to Micage since he's a male but he was wrong, he later found out about the prophecy and the curse. He didn't know at that time, he was back here to check up on Micage when he stumbled upon it but he had already left you with that other magical, he tried looking for you but Alovia was still on his neck, he couldn't risk you both so he left"

Inside I cried, inside Lyca howled out my pain. This was all too much to take in.

"If I am not the Alpha king then who is, mom?"

Cage spoke the words softly, his eyes darting from his sister to his mother in panic.

"You are a king and Melissa is an Alpha"

        Every individual had a look of confusion on their face, Cole went as far as to scratch his head hoping he could get the answer.

"I don't understand", Melissa voiced out.

"The curse. The curse placed upon King Alejandro, his powers were divided making you two. It's all in the prophecy"

Prophesies and curses great so what next chosen ones , destinies, powers, ugh please.

"How can we find Davis, who is he in all these" Mel questioned with a tired breath, they needed answers badly.

"He was close friends with your late mother Queen Ivory and was also her personal body guard"

Emily explained, her eyes reflecting numerous emotions within.

"I always knew you were related to royalty"

Lydia quipped in trying to fight the tension while already accepting the truth.

"But it doesn't make sense, queen Ivory was banished for not being able to bear children and Queen Alovia is queen and the late King's mate".

Martin argued what every child was taught, what every wolves were told.

"This doesn't make any sense, I still don't understand this curse, this whole thing" Cage mumured.

"Only Davis have the answers to your question"

Emily replied calmly, her expression made her look like she was hiding something else.

"That's bull shit",

Cole chose that time to speak up coming to stand beside Micage on the lounge, he looked puzzled and in denial.

"That can't be, the present King is the true Alpha King, he is first child after all"

"He is a product conceived from a manipulative snake".

Emily was furious mentioning the manipulative snake, they all knew whom she referred.

"We have all heard of his powers, we live in his rein", Martin added on.

"His rein of fear and terror, his rein mixed with demons used to maim us and render us worthless, his rein his mother is mostly in charge of and uses her manipulative powers to rule.  

          I know you know of the wrongs this his rein has brought, the unbalance it has made us to the moon goddess. That rein has to be stopped or we will be no more".

        Every youth froze in their spot taking note of each words Emily spoke, feeling the slap of reason as they realize what their blind eyes hadn't fully seen before. All eyes zone in on their last hope.

"This is all bull crap"

She panicked, walking backwards.

The eyes still on her.

"This is crazy"

They knew, their fate was a crazy mess all werewolves in the werewolf kingdom.

"All those story about the evil witch queen and the flower queen, all those stories are true...?"

They also were surprised, they never considered this part of the story was missing from their bed time story, they all though the true queen, mate of the late Alpha king had died alone. Now they can complete the story with songs of hope.

"This is all bull's crap fucking crazy"

"Melissa...?"

"Shut the crap up Xander"

His jaws tensed, a furious look in his eyes. His wolf wasn't happy with the defiance, he still considered her a wolf under his rule and yet she had always been above his rule, the powers coming out of her in waves were enough proof of that.

        Melissa snarl at him before storming off not looking at the tensed look Xander had nor the wolf eyes that eyed her with curious respect.

"Fuck!! this really is happening",

Micage mumbled, running his hands through his hair.

Emily placed her hand on his shoulder trying to give him the little support she could.

"I don't quite get something"

Thomas spoke from his place catching everybody's attention.

"So if the present king isn't the Alpha king and Melissa is the Alpha while Micage is the King. Who then is the true Alpha King, we need just one to rule us".

All eyes casted downwards before turning to Emily, the elder of wisdom.

She frowned before letting out a sigh

"Only Davis will be able to answer that, he had set out to find answers"

"Where can we find him?"

Xander asked crossing his arms.

"I have no idea... But he did say when the time came the twins will be able to find him, he left everything with them".

"Any idea man?", Cole looked down at him anxiously.

Micage snapped.

"Do I even look like I even knew the man"

"Well that leaves us with something else to solve"

Cole shrugged his shoulders.

"That must explain the trap and the Lycan demons after us, I mean Melissa in particular"

Adrian who had been quiet all through concluded.

"Yeah I would have died if not for our Alpha - King", Lydia jested before adding

"I always knew Melissa was special, well I was the only one who knew cause she was just too fast and strong and just simply awesome"

"Micage is also that too", Cole argued.

They exchange challenging raised brows with each other.

"I know she will make an excellent Alpha King cause am her only best friend"

"Well I know that Cage will make an excellent Alpha King cause am his best friend, he tells me everything".

Martin, Jung and Micage groan at the two.

"Best friends we are.... Ohhh!!! we so need to link up"

"Absolutely"

"No way", Xander grumbled holding Lydia tighter towards him. Cole smirked.

"Wait!!!, who is older? I mean between Melissa and Cage since they are twins", Jung who had tried hiding in the background asked.

Emily chewed on her lips in thought, "Not that it would really matter but according to Davis, Melissa came out first."

"Ha ha!, I already won five points",

Lydia jumped off Xander, yelling trumpeting at Cole who had a playful scowl on his face.

"Man! That's still so hot", Martin murmured lustfully in the background.

"Dude that's my sister okay and please stop thinking those things, its giving me nightmares".

Cage heard him then yell, causing Martin cheeks to redden as everybody stared at the two but mostly at Cage in particular.

"Did you know that Cage has been able to read minds since he was 16. Now that's a super cool power"

Cole finally boasted.

Everybody gasp suddenly feeling bare in his presence.

"Dude so you have been reading all my thoughts all this while, no wonder you were always good with those games" Jung accused feeling hurt.

Cage raised his hands in surrender.

"I don't read them all the time okay, Cole taught me how to control it so I can read and communicate at will"

"That's Freaky", Martin commented. A permanent frown on his face as he spoke his thoughts.

'So you knew all this while that I hated you'

"Hey the feelings is mutual Martin, you are just too consumed with jealousy you always missed the real thing"

Martin eyes widen in shock avoiding eyes that sent pity towards him. Everybody knew except him.

"Well we just found out that once Melissa roars, she can controls the wolf she roars at".

        Xander spoke his thoughts loudly not taking notice of the two cheeky children that were sharing sinister child-like look.

"Well girlfriend of my best friend sister"

"Just girl friend is great"

They locked arms,

"Lets ditch these losers and go make our own battles huh?"

"You just read my mind.... Boyfriend"

They walked out fast giggling like little kids.

"Oh! Hell no" Xander ran out after them letting out every cursed word he knew.

       Emily watched them all go on with their normal lives trying to put the bomb of the truth behind them at least for the two victims who needed cheering up. She watched Micage and Martin exchange words angrily and Jung trying to squeeze his body in between the two. A tear dropped as a thought passed through her mind.    

Cage froze turning just in time to catch her wipe the tear off and let out a fake smile.

"Mom....?" He began but was stopped when she spoke in his mind

"Not now sweetie thats a story for another time".

She cut off the connection before announcing she would be making lunch leaving Cage confused but nonetheless back to his bickering with Martin, surprisingly Adrian joined them then it became male homoeostasis everywhere.

         The next day they had all decided to go to school and act like everything was normal. Everybody including the Valshers which brought a lot of eyes their way.

"So should I now refer you as Melissa King or is it still Melissa Valsher?"

"Not now Lydia"

"Gosh you are so stubborn, What's your problem now"

"My problem.... My problem is just because am a female that man Davis Trevor considered me not more important to protect and left me all alone"

"But if he didn't do that you wouldn't be the strong woman I know and my best friend"

"Oh Lydia you...."

'So full of positive vibe it becomes dangerous to me'.

"Hush now Mel, we have literature to attend to"

They walk in sync not minding the eyes on them, glancing down at their map and having small talk.

"Hey em Xander sent Carl to find a copy of the prophecy so we can have more info on what to come, Cole did say there once lived a prophetess up in the hills"

"Yeah that's good"

"You know it is a good thing Cole is Alpha and he made sure we all had the same classes".

"Yeah it is but still, its troublesome and we won't be staying here any longer"

"Nonsense we are here for you, you are very important to us so we must protect you and besides you know I will never leave you, we are best friends for life"

         Melissa didn't know if she wanted to tear up, smile or be angry about the fact that she was a descendant of the werewolf king, she was now of importance.

"Oh! Isn't that Molly?.. Molly!!, hey Molly"

The student had their mouth gasp as they watch Molly smile and wave at the two girl before walking towards them.

"I didn't think I would still see you guys again"

"Well Mel's brother is here and they need time to reunite and all so here we are", Lydia shrugged.

"Well thats great for me, we can finally have some nice girl time"

"Sweet, what class do you have?"

"Literature, the only class am unfortunate to have with Smirk Jerk 1 and arrogant jerk 2"

"Who are they?", Mel's interest perked at the human.

"Cole and Micage. No offense Melissa"

"None taken. So Micage is an arrogant jerk heh?"

"Hey Cole is super sweet", Lydia pouted yet was ignored.

"Ugh! Don't let me bore you with all the details about how big of an air head he is"

"No please tell me, I want to know all about my arrogant jerk big air headed brother".

Molly let out a Cheshire smile which Mel returned. Lydia knew then that the human Molly will become great friends with them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Yo bitch, I heard you are living in my man's house. Now I don't care about you all I know is I don't want you having any ideas and stay you limit"

Melissa raised a brow at the slutty dressed she wolf in front of her, she slide slightly near Molly whispering clearly for the she wolf to here.

"Hey Molly, who is the slutty bitch gone virally wrong?"

Molly couldn't help but choke back a laugh, her face flushed as she whispered back.

"That's Sasha, Sasha Bikana, she and Micage used to be a thing or I think it was Cole but anyway that description just filled her up"

Melissa mouth forms an oh before going back to her meal. Lyca growled disapprovingly at the stubborn she wolf in front of her she didn't want to waste her appetite over her.

"Ugh!! spending time with this weirdo, Molly Tyler sure can make you one fast, I would have asked you to join me but you have got hands on my man"

"My brother really needs to learn how to select the women he has things with if not they are going to need serious nose job that will never heal"

Mel exaggerates tiredly feeling Lyca snap furious . the aura of dominance wasn't even enough to give the birch idea not to trend on thin water

"What? Your brother? Hey last time I checked Cage is an only child and I did check thoroughly".

Melissa banged her fist on the table angrily slowly rising up towering the short she wolf who was visibly shaking along with her minions at her presence.

"Sasha? What are you doing?"

Cage came strolling towards them, his posture was tense. Sasha chose that moment to become the victim.

"Oh! Cage how I've missed you",

She had her hands all over him trying to prove a point to the girls around. Cage didn't buy it one bit. In fact he shivered in disgust.

"I asked for an explanation Sasha, not drama".

Sasha had this pained look as though she had been slapped.

"Baby, I was just telling that bitch over there that you are mine and no one can please you as I do"

Micage groan, rubbing his hand on his face. He looked pissed off, he held her shoulder angrily piercing his enlonged nails into them.

"That girl you are calling a bitch is my sister, Sasha, now you will do good to apologize"

"What?"

Her mouth was agape like a fish.

"Your sister? How? When? How?"

"We are twins, fish head now just do me a favor and Shaha"

Molly let out another choked noise.

Sasha was angry at the same time confused, reluctantly she left leaving Melissa glaring at Cage.

"I get it we just found each other and all but lets just get one thing straight. Never fight my battles for me, never do what you just did for me I am more than capable of handling myself"

She looked around at all the eyes then the food suddenly loosing her appetite.

"Am out of here", She headed off.

Micage looked close to pulling his hair out,

"You are welcome, sis" he yelled after her.

Molly chuckled,

"I like her"

"Of course you would, you two are almost alike... Hey Lydia? Are you alright?".

Just then their attention was on her finally taking note that she was quiet all through and looked pale.

"Huh? Yeah am fine... Em? I got to go",

She stood walking in weak steps away from them.

"What's up with her?", Cage asked,

Molly shrugged.

Now they stared at each other memories of the night before came rushing in. Molly cheeks filled with colors.

"Em! I gotta to you know, make sure they don't get lost and all"

She stumbled away leaving Cage also and with just one thought.

'Girls'

"There is a ball tonight", Cole took his dramatic entrance into their last class, a full wield grin on his lips at the attention he realized the girl already brought, especially Melissa.

"What?", They both asked well mostly Mel who looked close to puking.

"A ball" Lydia sigh dreamily.

"I don't do ball" Mel stated slowly piercing him with a glare that said this conversation was over.

"Well too bad, you have to come"

Mel groaned.

"I spoke with my dad and he said you all must come cause luckily this is the annual ball meeting where all Alphas of all park attend, its great for appearance..... And em, Melissa, you are my date tonight"

Cole grins widely, blushing at the end.

Melissa scowl, ready to say nasty word but Lydia beat her to it.

"Great we will go but first new dresses"

"No prob have my credit card"

He dugged his hand into his pocket but Melissa stopped him.

"Thanks but no thanks we might be assassins but we still have our own money"

"Assassin??", he blinked

"Mel lets take Molly" Lydia giggled at his dumbfondness.

"Molly?" He stammered again. Lost for words.

"Great idea Ly".

They grinned.

"Why Molly?"

Cole was beyond confused at the oddness of the two girls it was something he had never seen, the spark in their eyes was terrifying yet welcoming.

"Well she's a great girl"

Mel huffed, "For a human"

"But still why...? She's a human who doesn't know about us..... Yet"

"We need a tour guide and Molly is perfect"

Lydia declared smugishly.

Mel felt she was giving too much credit to a human they had just met and who was beneath them in the food chain.

"For a human"

Her brow were raised and her cockiness were even higher

"Yeah but you like her too"

She let out a loud 'hump', Lydia saw it as a good sign and cheered loudly.

"Wow you really are alot to take in"

Cole finally exclaimed.
