Synge

Next Morning, I woke up alone on my bed.

Frank had already woken up and freshened up.

Walking towards the balcony clumsily I leaned on the railing.

I saw Frank training beside the lake.

His muscular body toned and shaped athletically, shining from sparkling sweat under sunlight. His hair color and body made him look like a prince charming from fantasy. My gaze fell upon the lake. It made me remember about last night. It flashed in my eyes as I blushed.

While I was busy remembering last night, Frank was looking at me. When our eyes met, a chuckle left our mouth.

After that I returned to the living room totally washed up and ready for a new day which I thought would go natural and normal but….

"Frank! I don't think she can live with us under one roof." Jake shouted in the backyard.

"You can't oppose Alpha. Don't you know the consequences if you rebel." Betty's loud and clear voice rang out all over the compound.

'They are fighting over me staying at the Fire Blood pack. Why? What have I done wrong? Is it because I am a hybrid?' I thought.

"Alene is in no way dangerous, if she controls her power and suppresses her vampire, then there would be no problem." Douard said. His voice felt unusually different from before. His words now are full of confidence and he spoke for me. He wasn't welcome because he is half-ling but he stood for me. I don't know what I should do.

"Frank! You can't blind your eye for mere mates and put the pack in danger." Jake roared again.

He is right though. Who would want to put their family and own life in danger for a stranger whom you met just a few days ago.

Frank stood quiet. His silence is evidence that he can't betray his love and also can't say anything in reply to Jake's accusations. He was totally right in his stead.

I came near my backyard. Strong smell filled the air. And I saw a lot of werewolf in their form at the same time. Body size, more taller than human and eyes piercing through the soul. They looked like total predators and gasp let out of my mouth.

Douard stood in between beta werewolves who were in their form, without even a fickle of fear seen in his face.

Frank sitting on a rock with a strange aura felt like a king listening to his aides.

"Look! Who came here?!" Betty sneered.

"Alene!" Frank mumbled.

Douard approached me jumping in between wolves.

"You are not in danger. There must be a way to solve this problem." He said.

"We'll see when everything gets ruined." Jake grumbled.

Frank looked into my eyes. His gaze was uncomfortable this time. It made me uneasy.

But suddenly something hot and tingly sensation rose upwards my body. I couldn't hold my focus still. My eyes blurred out and I felt I got sucked down into empty space.

'What is happening? Where am I?' I thought, scared. I couldn't see anyone around. Thick black aura engulfed me and the space below felt like it had no bottom.

'Alene!'

A voice rang in my ear.

'This voice? It was just like in my dreams when I used to see it during my childhood days. Why is it coming again?' I thought.

'Alene! Come to me.'

It came again and it's calling me.

'Why? What could it be?' I thought.

"Help me!"

I tried to scream for help. But strangely my sound echoed in the space around me, blocked.

I felt like it was going to be my end. Douard's and Martha's words flashed in my mind.

"Alene! you'll die if the seal is not removed before you reach 18." This was what they talked about in the woods.

'I am going to die. Why? I didn't even live properly. I love Frank and don't want to leave him this early.' I trembled in fear.

I couldn't grasp my situation, that's when the voice called me again.

'You are not alone, Alene! I am here for you.'

"Who are you? What do you want from me? Am I going to die?" I said in a frantic voice.

'No! I am your suppressed wolf, Synge'

"Synge!"

"Yes!"

"What do you mean? Are you my wolf which…. are you not sealed?" I said.

"No!" Synge said.

"Then…"

Synge cut me off.

"Vampire blood inside you is not normal, it's ancient primordial blood. I think you inherited it from your father. But…."

It started saying what was the reason but stopped.

"But what?" I said.

"But you don't have any trait for becoming a vampire."

"What?!" I exclaimed.

'I am not a vampire. Then why is everyone saying I am both a vampire and a werewolf ?' I thought.

"This seal is giving off a vampiric aura. You were born in the lunar month when 'Goddess of the Red Moon' was in high waves and gave you the power of the Blood Moon."

"What? What does all this mean? Am I not a werewolf or what?" I said, confused.

"When you reach your 18th birthday, you will transform and I will come out but…."

Synge again stopped while speaking. It felt like it was hiding something. I also could feel his presence but it was very weak.

"Don't hold back, because my life and fate depends on it." I emphasized.

"OK. You are blessed by 'Goddess of Red Moon' but your powers are very destructive and contain blood-lust overwhelming even vampire royals." Synge said.

"Well, it's time I go to sleep again. Meet you soon, Alene!"
