MEETINGS AND DISCOVERIES

       Molly was shocked and lost, she wasn't one to faint but she found herself wanting to do that on a daily basic ever since she was introduced to the supernatural world, now knowing about demons, she suspected she would soon have another.

"So let me get this straight, you all are werewolves as in half man half wolf except for Micage, Melissa and their half older brother Devaro who is the king, are Lycanthrophe, half man half beast"

She spoke slowly with widen eyes, processing the information the best she could. Outside she felt fear and rejection but inside she felt familiarity and almost family.

"What about those dude over there standing like statue"

She jerked her thumb backward towards Igaro, Titan and Blas who stood guarded in front of a room where Devaro was cleaning up. She was observant of Igaro's eyes on her but she was too scared to approach him. She tried hard not to let the fact that they were more taller and muscular with numerous tattoos get to her.

"Those are also Lycan well they were before an experiment was done on them, so now we are not so sure so we just call them hybrids. Half lycan half demon".

Cole explained the best he could finding humor in her expression even though he had explained some things to her before.

"Wow!!"

She voiced.

        Long ago she was a normal human living her normal life and now she get dragged into a supernatural world where all science fiction are real and she's mated to a Lycan. How great can her life get.

"Was Melissa serious when she said she was going to kill you?"

Despite the fact that they did lie to her her whole life, she can't forget the fact that she grew up with them as friends and she wouldn't want anything to happen to them.

Cole's mood changed as fear took place, then followed by disappointment.....at himself specifically.

"Well yeah she can kill me..... But I'll rather prefer if she just demote me instead or give me punishment"

"Demote you? From what? How can she do that?"

"Well if you haven't noticed Melissa has the real power here, since she is the main protagonist in the prophecy and the crowned heir of us"

Molly blinked, crushing her brows in confusion.

"What about that king em whats his name?"

"He is a bastard King by birth but Melissa is the true ruler well Cage is suppose to be since he's a male, it's kind of complicated I think Cage will be best to explain this to you"

At the mention of his name her expression hardened, she still held grudges.

"I want nothing to do with Micage Salder"

She huffed crossing her arms. Cole laughed at her.

"It's actually Micage King, and you have everything to do with Cage and mostly the royal family..... Queen Molly"

He bowed playfully at her.

Molly's face became red with embarrassment.

"Jesus Christ! No! Don't do that Cole"

"Ha! ha! but it is true"

His humor was cut short once another presence joined them.

"Narrow it down to Princess for now, Melissa is the true queen and no one else"

Devaro joined them, the three hybrids no where to be seen.

Devaro accessed her from her white blonde hair, to her hazel eyes down to her poor jean and sweater. Molly felt intimidated under his icy stare, the color of his eyes almost similar to Cage but with a little green in it.

"Of course my king"

Cole's expression became business like and not his usual playfulness. Molly didn't mind him, she also felt like a rat being poked on under his gaze.

"I don't think we have had the pleasure of a proper introduction"

He stretched out his right hand to her.

"Am Devaro King, Melissa and Micage's older brother"

Reluctantly she took his hand, regretting it almost instantly as she was shocked with a feeling as though she was being pressed by needles.

She flew backwards with a gasp.

Devaro smiled at her pretending oblivious and continued speaking with a neutral face.

"Molly Tyler, 18 years old lives in Florida, height 5 ft 7, parents are humans and are traders, works part time at Ruby cafe, lives next door to my little brother and has a childhood crush on him"

She gasped, taking more steps away from him.

"You? You? How? How did you do that?"

"Easy, am a royal Lycan and you are just a mere human mated to one. It really is funny how it sounds"

Molly suddenly felt self conscious, she shifted her feets awkwardly.

"Here"

He stretched out his hand again, having moved the glass from his other hand.

"Have a drink, Your weak human body needs it after everything its been through, I can't say it will help for whatever else is to come"

He chuckled.

Molly couldn't help but glare already making the decision that she didn't like him.

"Take it, its just water little human"

She needed a drink but she was too stubborn to get it from him. So instead she glared fully at him with full force stubbornness.

"Interesting"

He drawled out, a small smile spreading his lip before clearing his throat.

"I must attend to other issues"

He forced the glass into her hands forcefully, staring down at her into her eyes.

"It really was nice meeting you, Molly Tyler"

He headed off, leaving Molly more pissed.

"What a jerk!"

She reprimanded.

Cole finally found his voice to speak.

"Don't worry about him, as long as you stay beside Cage always and hopefully have Melissa on your side then there is nothing for you for worry about him"

She hummed. Refusing to answer but instead drank the water in her hand, she sigh in relief of having something cool her throat.

"Molly?"

Both of then turned their eyes at Cage who was fast approaching them with a smile.

He stood infront of her accessing her lovingly with his eyes for any injury.

"Are you alright?"

His eyes held so much adored love, Cole asked to be excused.

She was still pissed after Devaro left and was a little bit once he arrived but she fought hard not to show it.

"Am fine for now but I think I'll be scarred for the rest of my life with the way it is"

Cage had a fond smile.

"Your sarcasm amuses me just as Lissa's but I will assure you I won't let anything happen to you"

They exchange gaze both noticing a change in themselves.

"Come!, Davis has asked for us to gather and I don't intend on ever letting you leave my side"

His eyes had a gleam to it, she had to swallow before letting him direct her away.

While the castle was being cleaned up, Devaro, Davis, Melissa, Micage and Molly moved to the war room along with Xander, Thomas and Cole. They were all staring at Davis who stood and was also staring blankly at the map spread out in front of him.

The war room had mostly been used all the time for battle plans, and looking at it now one would say it would be used more than Devaro's study room.

"I believe Ivory's body is in Isha"

He voiced out the conclusion he made, glancing up to observe the expressions on their faces.

"That's impossible, mother never found the body there", Devaro argued back. Looking bored and unimpressed.

"It's the only place I can think of and from Ivory words, I believe thats where she is, she did say that while Selene left the Hectate stayed behind to teach and create, Isha was born from them, it was where the bloodline started, where Ivy regained her powers and the last place she was before she died, I can bet on my life that Ivory's body is in Isha"

"Okay, so we go to Isha find mother's body then what?"

Micage glanced around.

Davis breaths out.

"Only Melissa will be able to find the body"

"What?"

"Why?"

Their voice of protest was cut short

"The prophecy did say that Hope will revive Peace"

At least a part of the prophecy was solved now they had to figure out how Melissa will bring the death back to life.

Melissa sighed.

"Well that's solved for now, On with the next issue. Emily, We have to get her back"

"We do not have the power to kill Erasmus but Ivory does. Am willing to wait till then"

The twins eyes found him, looking at him with bit back paint moans.

"Are you sure about that, uncle"

Loyalty.... He really deserved the trophy for it.

"Emily is a strong woman, she will survive before we can reach her and besides I believe that Mirking is already giving them hell"

He spoke with a find smirk that had the twins relaxing a bit.

"When will Isha location pop out in the map we need to do this fast. We should have like three more months left till the red moon, and even with that we don't know what will happen then"

Micage calculated their time rate with a slight worried look.

All concluded on the date and spoke on how they had to have their security tighten and warriors always on alert.

Davaro brought back their attention to his mild musing.

"From mama Ivory's story it was the day Hades killed one of the three sisters and used their powers to destroy earth, right?"

"Yes"

Davis replied.

"So what if on that day Erasmus wants to use the power of the red moon to revive Hades so he can destroy us again and the demons get to live here and not in the underworld"

Everybody dug into those words. Some already suspecting that strategy some finally took the words as being serious and dire.

"So time ticks, people",

Mel finalized, quieting down their murmurs.

And they all came into an agreement that once they find Ivory then they will be able to save Emily.

There was one more issue Melissa needed to settle.

"Now to the next issue. Xander, you and the rest of the pack will live here in the castle"

"Are you kidding me right now, Mel"

"There will be no argument about this"

"Yes there will. You should have asked us first"

"Erasmus is out there, he kidnapped one of our loved ones, he already has Valsher mutated demons at his control. I can't have that done to you"

"I understand your concern Mel but we are assassins, we were trained to survive on our own. I have a pack to build up"

"And you will. Just not while Erasmus still breaths"

There was little to no sound made, Xander knew it was pointless to try and change her mind if there was one thing she was more passionate about. it was keeping her friends safe.

"I will also ask for permission to leave tomorrow"

Cole drew the attention to himself, having his alpha urges to go check up on his pack after that kidnap was done his pack were sure to be in a frenzy.

"Of course, That attack has weakened your boarders, you must strengthen it and fulfill your punishment"

"Wait! What?"

"I gave a direct order for Molly to be guarded and protected from our world, but you failed me so for that, your title as Lord will be shifted to further notice while you perform your probation of community service with Alpha Susho, Ernesto and Alfonso"

Hazel eyes widened as a gasp left her lips

"It wasn't Cole's fault, it was mine, please don't punish him"

Molly spoke, trying to take the full blame.

"I have to and beside its not that much of a big deal"

Mel rolled her eyes not looking any bit of lifting the punishment.

"I don't know Portuguese or Greek"

Cole grumbled in despair.

"Then you will have to learn"

She shrugged.

"Am in support of this punishment"

Micage added, adding more salt to the wound.

Both Cole and Molly gave him a look which he shrugged off.

"You want to be my Lord you've got to learn the basics"

Molly mouth slacked opened at seeing this side of Micage, a true King.

"I don't understand is this a punishment or some learning excursion"

Molly's hair line had risen high.

"Cole knows how the punishment goes"

"Yeah, thanks man"

He glared at Cage who shrugged mindlessly.

"Do you accept? Cole"

"Yeah I accept your highness"

"And also you'll be leaving with Molly tomorrow"

The air cracked with tension triggering suffocating auras.

"What?!"

"Don't do this Lissa"

"What?! You can't do that"

Molly was shock that she had the right to decided her future. Queen or not Molly wasn't going to let anybody decided for her.

"I can and I will. Your safety is important"

"Molly goes no where"

Cage was against it, both him and Luca were present staring down at his sister.

"Am sorry Cage but its for her own good"

As last reserve he added angrily. They weren't sure what relationship they had but Cage suspected it was mate.

"If she goes then Igaro goes too"

Melissa's eyes cross at his declaration

"You know it doesn't work that way. Igaro is an hybrid loyal to the throne"

"And Molly is loyal to me"

"She's just a human in a sea of monsters and predators"

"As much as I love you two arguing about me but I believe I get to decided here"

Her eyes darted left and right at the twins whose feature were changing slowly with each argument they threw at the other.

"Molly, having you here will put you at greater risk, you are just a mere human, you are not fit for this family madness"

"Wow! oh geez! so you get to decided whether am fit or not huh?"

Now she was angry and that made them all the more angrier.

"Little sister, am afraid am against you here"

Devaro intervened, at first amused at their bantering but now irked adding more fuel to the fact that she took conduct of the meeting when he was the crowned King among them.

"What?? Why?"

"The little human here has already started showing traits of a Lycan"

Their eyes bulge interest taking forth

"Meaning??"

Molly face became pale as fear took over her.

"What? Am gonna turn into a wolf?"

"Not exactly but as a human your life span and genes will change to accommodate the life style of a lycan, give example Mama Ivory, though she was a magical she never became Lycan but I don't know about lycans mating humans".

"That is true. But Ivory was almost considered a human back then since she never had her powers at the time"

Davis added, humming lowly.

"Interesting so what super powers did she get?"

Melissa eyes glowed with amusement and a slight frown.

"For some reason she is resistant to my silver tongue, so I believe she has the powers of a shield"

"Ha!! I so support her staying"

Davis cheered looking smug at Devaro who scowled. It was a weapon against Devaro who continuously used the silver tongue like a second skin, it was mostly why the kingdom wasn't in shamble at his rule and not the true heir's.

Mel felt her words nullied, she turned towards the others for support, her eyes met Xander's

"Sorry Mel but it's always a good idea to have family close by, father taught us that"

It was the first time since ever they spoke about Master, it felt weird taking his words seriously now.

"And besides she looks like she would fit right in, the moon is never wrong"

Thomas added with a smirk.

"Fine have it your way but I want her guarded day and night.

Well that's all for today"

"No its not"

All eyes turned to Xander who's pale blue eyes pinned hers to her seat.

"You are avoiding the issue that Igaro is your mate, Mel"

Her colors drained. If there was one person that can stand against her stubborn nature, it was someone with an equally stubborn one.

"There is nothing to discuss, if you knew me better you will know my decision already"

"But I don't know. I want to know if you will mate with him and give him the title"

Devaro inquired. Anger drawing out of him in waves followed by betrayal.

"You and I both know that Igaro will never be accepted. He's an hybrid and lack in a lot of physics"

She argued, but what for? Was it for them to accept him as her mate or reject him as she had done.

"Then who are you going to give the title to. The wolves will soon start asking for the true Alpha King and we also have till the red moon"

And once again Melissa was stuck in the middle as the question of who was the true Alpha king, a being with immense power rang through.
