《The New Alpha》Chapter 29
Advertisement
I feel an ice cold droplet fall down my face and a chill rolls down my back. Coldness surrounds me and my body begins to shiver. I open my eyes slowly to a dimly lit room, Lolly is sitting next to me. I'm laid out on a bed, rags with frigid water lays over the exposed sections of my skin. Even though the water causes chills bumps to appear on my skin my inner body is blazing.
"What happened?" I asked slowly, trying to ignore the discomfort
"You've been out for an entire day" she tells me and my eyes widen
"Maddox" I whisper "I have to tell him where I am, he's probably freaking out" I say in a rush, moving to stand
I'm shocked to have her push me back in the bed "you're not going anywhere" she says "it's not safe to be around unmates alphas right now, Alpha Maddox thankfully dismissed the three alphas that came yesterday"
"What do you mean it's not safe? Maddox is my mate he would never hurt me" that's the first time I've said that and my heart skips a beat
This time her eyes widen and she sighs somberly "oh my dear...there is much your parents never told you." she shakes her head and begins to get up
"No! Please." Tears swell up in my eyes "you said you would tell me...I need to know" my body only grows hotter with every emotion swirling around
She sighs and looks me over. "Alright" she sighs "Amaris" is all she says
I raise an eyebrow "yes...that's my middle name" I shrug not getting her point
"Do you know what it means?" She asks matter of factly. She doesn't wait for my answer "child of the moon" she says "and that's what you are"
At this point she sounds crazy "aren't we all? Werewolves, that's kinda our thing"
"Silly child, the prophecy" she shakes her head "the black female wolf will be the child of our god of the moon. He will come down in a unknown form and choose the one to bare the future of our species" she says and my eyes widen
"And...and you think that's me?" I can hardly hear myself talk. My brain starts to hurt and not because I'm extremely hot but because of everything I'm hearing
She laughs lightly "oh child I know it's you. Do you know any other black female wolves?" She asks and I shake my head
"But my father and mother they are just normal werewolves" I tell her, my body shaking
"Your mother was chosen, she was chosen by the mood god before she met your father. They kept it from you all these years. They came to me after they realized what you were and they made me promise to never tell a soul and they would keep you in the dark about it"
Tears stain my cheeks. They kept this from me my whole life. Made me feel like the weakest and most disgusting werewolf ever in existence. "So what am I?"
"The future my dear" she grabs my wrist and turns it over to reveal the small crescent birthmark "this child is the mark from the moon god signifying you as the true powerful mother. The future generation of alphas will come from your womb, they will be the strongest, fastest, and bravest to ever live. They will come from powerful bloodlines of alphas, they will have a new-" she starts
"Wait with alphabloodline? What do you mean?" I ask slowly sitting up, making sure to keep the cooling rags against my burning skin

She seems to have gotten ahead of herself and her smile fades "my dear it's your destiny...it's who you are meant to be....you will never have a mate. You are meant to mate with unmated alphas to prevent one alpha ruling all and dying out bloodlines to cease to exist. By your eighteenth birthday...tomorrow, every unmated alpha will feel the pull and their primal instinct will kick in to mate with you. They will come from hundreds of miles. Once you are pregnant you will be safe until you give birth. Your pregnancy's will be faster than the normal werewolves."
My body doesn't move. I just sit there heart sunken and pounding. This can't be true. It's not me. I'm not that werewolf. I don't want to be. "No" I shake my head my throat burning to keep down the tears.
"I'm sorry...I know it's a lot to take in. But darling this is a blessing, the moon god chose you." She tries to make me feel better "if your parents prepared you for this you would feel much better" she says but I shake my head
The thought of never having one mate love me for me and who I am tears me apart. Maddox. He doesn't love me. He has a mate out there and the reason he's attracted to me is because of what I am...not who I am. At my thoughts I break down. Tears pour out of me like rain and my whole body goes loose. I feel myself fall forward and Lolly catches me before I hit the floor. She coos in my ear but I continue my tears and cry's of helplessness and heartbreak. I refuse to be this wolf. I refuse my purpose of sleeping with alphas to give them pups. Screw destiny.
"If it makes you feel better I'm sure Maddox will love to mate first"
I squirm out of her arms "how could you say that to me?!" I cry "I love him"
She raises an eyebrow "exactly"
"No" I cut myself off "you don't understand, he has a mate out there and I'm just some whore to provide pups" Scars words come to mind
"No, once news spreads you will be treated like a queen. Alphas will treat you with kindness and respect. You will have honor in bringing the future alphas to us" she tells me and I want to scream "you may select the alphas of your choice to create with, ensuring only pure hearted alphas for the future"
I look at her like she's insane. She doesn't get it. She makes it seem easy and amazing but it's not. I can't live this life. She continues "That's what happened to Logan, he had alpha blood in him and felt the pull to you when he turned 18. Since he's known you for his whole life the pull was more evident. The only other Alpha here is Maddox. If you had traveled to other packs they would slightly feel it but as I said due to your closeness with Logan it effected him more. My foolish granddaughter didn't listen to me....I told her what you were hoping she would understand that once you are pregnant that you would be no threat to Logan and her but she took it the other way...your parents knew but still forbid me to tell you"
"How could you possibly think this is a good thing?" Anger ranging through me "what about the lunas?! How will they feel when their mate has a child with someone else-"

She cuts me off "no, it's an honor, if you had been raised properly with the prophecy well known you would have been ready and prepared." She says "if every werewolf 18 years ago were told who you were and what your future would be everyone would praise you and rejoice in our future. You would have been brought up from a child meeting future prospects and been looked up to by all-"
"That isn't the case though!" I scream "for someone who seems to think this is the way sure as hell didn't try to make that happen. You kept this from me because of my selfish parents! They weren't trying to protect me. I'm screwed. No one has prepared me, no one will be honored, no one knows! Now alphas will be after me, they will-" I think for a moment "Does..-" I choke up "does anyone else know about me?"
"No, no one" if Maddox knew I was 'the one' without telling me it would make it all the worse. Everything Scar said makes since now...the words she said when she tried to blow me up.
"Where is Scar now" I demand
"I don't know all I know is I regret telling her" she looks away from me ashamed then I put it together
My anger is now directed at Lolly, she told the one person who wanted to ruin me and didn't tell me. Maybe she's right. Maybe if I was brought up with respect and promise of safety, security, respect, and honor. But no that's not how it is and I will never satisfy my destiny.
I understand what Scars been doing now "she's telling the alphas what I am" my realization comes whispered from my mouth, my pounding heart stops completely in true realization "and they'll come after me" I breath out the remaining breath in my lungs. Herk...he's one of them. "I..." I'm completely speechless.
"Since your existence was kept so quiet not many believed in the prophecy. But with Scarlett telling the werewolf world...I fear you won't be safe from the most ruthless of Alphas. This wasn't how it was supposed to be." she explains and that's when I feel my most hopeless
We sit in silence for a moment "so either way...I'm screwed"
"No child, I'm sure Alpha Maddox will try his best to keep them out of his pack until you make up your mind"
"What do you mean make up my mind?! You mean if I decide to sleep with every unmated alpha? To me there seems like no other option as you've put it." At my outburst she looks away from me "I have to go" I stand and my body aches, the fire inside me grows as I move, producing more sweat and my heart to buzz.
"Eve no, you must stay here" she says but I doge past her and keep moving through the house, my balance only altering my steps slightly "I protected your scent in human form but that might not be enough!" She calls out
All I can do is run. I run with every fiber of energy I have left within me. My body aches all over and the heat expands throughout my entirety but I don't care. "Everly don't do this! Come back!" Lolly screams at me but I keep running.
By now it's almost nightfall. The sky is a beautiful shade of pink and orange, the deep blue of night raising to cover the sky.
It can't be me.
The icy air feels like fire in my lungs and the sweat on my body clings to the air as I rush past it. I have to find the truth. With every thought in my head the real pain is in my heart. Maddox. What will he think. I feel like screaming. Tears pour down my face and my feet keep moving, the sticks and rock digging into my heel.
I hear a loud howl. Then another...then another. My body freezes. It's probably Maddox and his wolves looking for me. I could easily go to him...forget what she just said and call her crazy. My heart clenches at the stupid thought and I keep moving. Trudging my way around trees and branches. One destination in mind.
I keep going and soon my destination is in sight. I hear the howls getting closer and I quickly move in. I bang my hand on the door hard. My breathing is rugged and comes out in hard pants "Mom! Dad!" I scream, the tears still fresh on my cheeks. I keep banging for what feels like hours until I finally hear footsteps.
My mother answers the door. Already in her robe, hairs half way out of curlers. "Eve?" She asks in a rush, fear passing over her eyes for half a second "what are you doing here?" She asks, two curlers in her hands
"Honey who is it?" I hear my fathers deep voice echo throughout their new home
Before she can answer my fathers hand creeps around the door and opens it wider, his figure appearing. "Oh you" he spits "come to torture your mother more? Or maybe kick us out of the pack completely" he scoffs and rolls his eyes
"I know you've been lying...Lolly told me what I am, who I actually am" I wish this was better than what they had even telling me all my life...but I don't know what is worse.
My mother drops her curlers and my father drops his jaw. They don't say another word but my mother moves from the doorway and I follow, my fathers eyes staying on me. I wipe my tears and find my mother in there living room. She's slouch over, head in hands, a cry escaping her lips.
At this sight I know everything Lolly said was true "tell me everything" I demand, my tears stained cheeks dry
She looks up at me and shakes her head "I did it for your protection you selfish girl" she groans as my father comes to in, his eyes never leaving me as he goes to sit next to my mother "I knew this day would come"
"Why didn't you just tell me the truth" I beg
"How could I?! It would ruin me, no one would have believed me that my child was the one...it had to be a secret" she says in a hurry
"Tell me from the beginning" I say, my body frozen in place, standing in front of them
She again looks up at me "it was two months before I met your father..." she begins "well...Jonathan" she looks at him and his face turns to anger "there was a man...he- we" she pauses "I was completely entranced by him...he told me he chose me. I was the one to carry the future" she looks me in my eyes "you"
"he was the moon god?" I whisper what Lolly told me
"Yes in the form he chose...the prophecy said-" tears flow over her glassy eyes "Amaris...your middle name it means child of the moon."
"Ok so why lie? Why couldn't you have told me...it wasn't my fault. I-" I say softly
"Because it wasn't right! The moon god knew I was coming! I was her true mate! He tried to take her from me" Jonathan growls, I'm shocked as his hate towards the god who has made him the creature he is
My mother takes his hand and tries to calm him "I didn't deserve your hate" my eyes water once again but he just rolls his eyes
"Every time I look at you I think of how I betrayed Jonathan" she tells me "I didn't know what the moon god meant before I saw you change. All I knew was I got pregnant by a random man and met my mate two months later" she looks at johnathan "I'm just lucky he took me" her eyes shed tears again "when we saw you shift we had no idea what to think" she says "we went to Lolly and she told us the story and then we swore to keep it quiet and to hide it from you"
I finally fall into a seat "so I'm the daughter of the moon god" I whisper "it's true then....my purpose in life is to mate with alphas?" I say more in realization than to them
"Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, the moon god should have just produced more stronger alphas by giving them to the alphas through there Luna's. Not this whorish-" Johnathan begins
"Dad stop" I hear a voice come around the corner, her hazel eyes shift to me "ignore him"
"Excuse me?" He says
"Don't you see that this is hard enough for her?" Victoria says, blonde curls up in a ponytail.
Everyone is silent once again, I see a few tears fall down my mother cheeks but for what? Is it out of regret? Anger? Sadness? "Five years ago I heard the parents talking to Lolly...all I heard was you weren't my fathers daughter...that you were some intruders child...that's when I started to hate you. I hated that you weren't my real sister. I blamed you. But now that I know the truth....I'm sorry. I'm sorry for our mother and I'm sorry for my father and how we have all treated you" she turns to the parents "you both should be ashamed...this isn't her fault and now the night before her birthday she has to deal with her life destiny"
Hearing these words come out of her mouth shocks me just about as much as everything else that has happened tonight. No one speaks a word. "I just didn't want to face the truth...you're going to go off and rule with every alpha. I didn't know how to raise you for that...so I kept it from you." She whispers her next words "no one would have believed me"
"Well now it's here" I tell her and we all freeze when we hear loud howls closing in. I can't stay here. I can't go to Maddox. I can't be with Lolly. I don't trust anyone and I need time to figure this out. I stand up quickly, Johnathan keeps looking at me with the same look I've gotten from him my whole life...but now I understand it.
I look away from my parents "if they come do not tell them I was here" I turn to leave. Victoria looks away from me in shame but I touch her shoulder "thank you" I say quietly and she offers me a small smile
With more tears in my eyes I walk out the door...with no where to go.
