Chapter ３

Elvis' pov

When I saw Kolten's shocked face, my heart ached.

Although I was so reluctant to tell him knowing that the truth might hurt him i have to tell him, because this secret concerns the life and death of the whole Inferno Wolf Clan including  the entire Werewolf Clan, the Inferno Wolf Clan is currently on the verge of danger, many evil eyes are on our pack and there are a lot of crises lurking around us, I worry that if he continues to be so innocent knowing nothing, it will cause more danger to him. After all, I cannot protect him his whole life.

After Kolten was born, Patrick learned through a divination that our son Kolten would be the key to changing the fate of the werewolf clan. If I could, I would gladly do anything to give my son a peaceful and happy life, but he is destined to be an alpha, the prince of the Wolf Clan, and he is carrying a great responsibility on his shoulders and this is to protect and rule the pack.

I watched as Patrick lifted Kolten up and sat him on the sofa, patting his back gently.

 For many years, all Patrick and I could do was protect our son, let him grow up peacefully before he turned adult. Now that he has grown, he has to fulfill the duties of the royal family of the Inferno Wolves. Further that he has grown up I couldn't keep the secret to him any longer.

"Kolten, this is the secret of the Inferno Wolf Clan. The priest pack of the Inferno Wolf Clan, although we are alphas, we also have the ability to bear a child. This secret is usually revealed when the priest comes of age. Your father and I have known each other since we were young and had a crush on each other. Before we became adults, neither your father nor I knew about this secret. When I confessed my love to your father, your father was always so upset and refused to accept me at first. Since the royal family of the inferno Wolf tribe was always a single lineage, he was worried that after we came together, the royal family of the inferno Wolf tribe would be separated. But Whenever I thought about your father being with someone else in the future, my heart was tortured. So I finally made the decision to confess my feelings for your father to your grandfather, the then Alpha Eric, and the former priest to get their approval. Fortunately, your father understood my heart and finally accepted me. We knelt before the altar of the temple and told your grandfather and the former priests that we would never part no matter what the punishment was. We thought we would be banished and punished, but promised that we will together resolve whatever the circumstances may it bring no matter what happens. In response, to our surprise, your grandfather and the others authorities did not get angry at all instead they called us into this conference room, yes in here to be exact and told us the secret that your father can bear a child."

"What, you and father also found out the secret in this conference room?” Kolten couldn't believe it, his voice was trembling.

I nodded, after I saw that Kolten had calmed down a bit, I winked at Patrick.

Patrick immediately recognized my intent and continued, "Yeah, we couldn't believe it either back then. I was very shocked and scared, as you are now. I'm an Alpha, how could I have a baby?

But most of all, I was so glad that I could be with the Alpha without fear. Otherwise, even if I like the Alpha, even if the former priest and your grandfather agree, I won't be with the Alpha. As a priestess, I cannot let the royal family of Inferno Wolves die. Fortunately, our line has the special physical power so I could be with your father and give birth to you being the fruit of our love. So, Kolten, don't be afraid, this physique before your eyes is a gift from the Wolf God to us."

Looking at Kolten with his mouth wide open, with all those emotions written all over his face, I was not just a little worried. Patrick and I had wanted him to spend his pre-adult years safe and happy, so even though he was an Alpha, we hadn't told him the truth and had been very hard on him. The boy is decent and kind, but he is too simple. He has never seen the dark and dangerous side of this world. I was concerned about his ability to accept that responsibility. Patrick and I both see him as our treasure and we were so worried that he would be tricked and hurt.
