Michael Alejandro

Michael Alejandro was taking up Accountancy. He has muscular built body, blue eyes and curly messed dull brown hair. Being the only heir, he is to take over the Izquierrdo Group of Companies once his father retired from the position.

After stalking Liza, Mike battled himself if he would go to her house but he noticed Sam and three men in her door. He had seen Samuel once but he did not remember how he is related to Liza.

Who is he? He thought to himself. He was about to approach the men but they entered the house. He was trying to peep in but he cannot find any open window and fortunately, he was able to hear what they were talking about even in a distant of about a hundred strides.

"Any idea what will happen once we lost the battle?"

"His Majesty would rather die than see his nation in the hands of the dark."

"We must do everything to protect his family and the only hope of our kingdom if we ever loss the battle. He already planned who will be the protector until such time that everything will be ready again based on his judgments."

"Good day, Princess. His Majesty wants this to be handed to you."

"What's this?"

"It is a travelling document. His Majesty wants to meet his daughter's family."

"He could have just given it to Sam."

Mike became curious of what they were talking about. After hearing the voice of Amelia, a flashback came rushing from the back of his mind.

Flashback.

It was spring when Mike and his parents went to the rest house of Liza's family at Hawaii. Mike was 12 at that time while Liza was 10. Liza was not there during the visit and was with her cousins, so Mike would not know that they were visiting her family. Mike was requested to stay outside to play so that he would not hear the conversation of their parents.

At the young age, Mike had already developed his sense of hearing above a normal human should have. Even though he was sent outside, he could clearly hear what were his parents and Liza's parents would be talking about.

"We will be pleased and happy to become your ally. But we will be much happier if you will promise that your daughter will marry our son. We have known that they have been friends for a long time and I foresee that they would become a good couple. Besides, your daughter changes my son a lot. She has been a good influence to him."

"Looking at their relationship now, they would be seemed to be in love with each other once they had reached the right age. Whenever he would tell a story about Anna, he will end it by saying he is deeply in love with her and does not have the courage to tell her his feelings. I guess that was what changes do to our system since he started acting like one of the teens lately."

"I agree. Have you noticed, Sam, that whenever our sweet daughter tells something about him, her eyes will glimmer. The mood and aura of the surrounding would suddenly change."

Mike heard those conversations from a distant. He can't believed that at a young age he was betrothed to someone he doesn't know in order to gain alliance for their business. He told to himself that he would not allow his parents to dictate him when it regard to the one he should love and his happiness. His heart would only belong to Liza and even his parents would go against it, he only wanted to be with her and not with Anna.

In order to easily forget what he heard, he was trying to wonder the beauty of the scenery until he was lost in his thoughts. Afterwards, his parents called him that he was snap back to reality and noticed Samuel was saying goodbye to his parents.

End of flashback.

Mike decided to leave the premises of Landers. He wanted to call Liza about what he heard but some part of him disagreed.

After walking for an hour going to his mansion, he noticed the same three men in their door who were about to leave.

"Son, finally, you had arrived. I had been waiting for you. I tried to call you but I heard your phone ringing here. You must have left it earlier," Zander told his son.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I followed her to make sure she would arrive home safely after we parted ways", Mike answered defensively. He immediately shifted his attention to the men that started to build his curiosity on how they came to his house so fast and he knew that no one had passed along the road going to their house. "Who are they, Dad?"

"Son, they were the loyal soldiers and messenger of Nicolas. This is Adam and to his right is Stevenson. They are soldiers. The one at the left of Adam is Emmanuel, the messenger. They came here for business. This is my son Michael Alejandro."

"Sir, we have to leave. Thank you for sparing your time. His Majesty would be pleased to hear your decision," Eman said as he shook his hand with Zander. The other two bowed their heads with respect and bid their goodbyes.

"See you soon, little boy," Steve spoke in his low-deep voice. He tapped Mike's shoulder lightly before they left the house. Mike gave him a friendly smile.

Zander and Mike entered the house. Mike smelled the blood and he gave his father with a confused look of what was going in their house. He knew that his mother wouldn't arrive until his graduation. His stomach started to growl and he felt very thirsty.

"What was that smell? It's mouth-watering. Is mom already here and cooking delicious food for us? I feel my hunger and thirst overpowering me because of it."

"Son, it's not food and she's not yet here. It's blood. It seems that a lot had been changed to you."

"What? Blood? As in B-L-O-O-D?"

"Yes, and I believe that it is the right time to tell you who really you are."

"What do you mean, Dad?" he interrupted his father he felt again his stomach to rumble so badly that even his dad heard it growled that made him chuckled.

"We are planning to tell you this after you graduated but the signs that you are showing seems that you are starting to develop the ability of a vampire and a werewolf, but it is too rapidly developing for your being."

"What the hell you are talking about. Are you just trying to play some sick jokes again?"

"I'm telling the truth son. I was feeding from an animal when they arrived. I am a vampire and your mom is a shewolf. Lilliana is the youngest daughter of Alpha Noah. She is not in a business trip that a company had organized as your mom told you. She went to Russia to meet the Beta. They are going to discuss on how they are going to help Nicolas in protecting this nation."

Zander noticed that his son is no longer paying attention to what he is saying.

"Let's talk later. I'm so damn starving. What do we have for dinner?" Mike interrupted as he heads to the kitchen.

Inside their kitchen, the scent caught his nostril before was stronger now and he cannot even fight the urge to look for it.

Without hesitation, Mike followed the scent. He let his other side overcome his consciousness and in a flash, he jumped into a deer tamed by his father in their backyard. The creature had fresh holes in its neck and traces of dried blood. He felt that his two teeth elongate at the sight of his prey. He immediately sunk his teeth and satisfied his thirst but he wanted more of its blood.

He heard the weaken heartbeat of his prey, so he stopped immediately from draining the poor creature. He looked at the deer in sorrow, fear and shock that he barely noticed the presence of his father. He didn't understand what he had done. He wanted to cry and thought that he was a monster.

"It's alright, Son. It was your first time. Your still lucky that your prey did not die", Zander said with a look of sympathy to his son.

"But look! I almost killed her and -"

"That is our very nature. You should feed from human but not kill them if you do not want to become a true monster. Drinking from blood bags is another option", Zander explained as he help Mike to get up but stumbled in shock of his action and his body was trembling so bad. Zander held his son going back to the mansion. He instructed the maids to prepare a warm bath for his son to wash. It was the time that he saw Mike in his weakest and fragile state.

"The bathroom is prepared", a maid said.

Zander nodded to the maid and dismissed her at once. He hold his son firmly enough so that his son won't fall for the second time. He helped Mike in washing his body to remove the blood that stained him. Afterwards, Zander put the lad into his bed and used his power to make Mike fall into a deep asleep.

Zander called Lilliana. His patience has started to thin. for an hour of calling, she was not answering her phone.

"Honey, what's wrong? I'm in the middle of the meeting with the elders", Lilliana answered in a soft voice.

"Sweetie, when are you going back. Mike had his first drink tonight. I don't know what happened but he was able to control his vampire side and shocked on his actions", Zander replied in a worried tone.

"Maybe next week. We are in the middle of negotiation with the other packs."

"Please hurry. I am not sure what to do if his wolf would appear the next time."

"Ok, Honey. I'll do my best to rush the things here. Make sure that once he become a wolf he would not eat any human flesh."

And then Lilliana hang up the phone. Zander went bask to Mike's room to check his condition. the room suddenly smelled husky when he entered. He feels that any moment his son might become a wolf and in that case he did not know what to do in this state.

The whole night, he watched his son and he was thankful that nothing bad had happened later on. Mike was still in his human form but the smell of the wolf did not disappear. Zander concluded that his body is now starting to change into a wolf and he went to his office to look for a lunar calendar. As much as he feared, the full moon is just a week after his graduation and his graduation is in four days.
