Alpha, save me

Story to be told

The living room was occupied by the girls and their family. Lukas was sitting on one of the chairs of the bar counter.  He wanted to be with his mate, but he also wanted to give her some time with her family. Murat slowly separated from the girls and headed to Lukas’ direction.

-          We need to talk. Now! …  And most preferably, alone. – Murat said.

-          Good, because I have some questions for you. – told him Lukas – Follow me. -  he said and headed to his office.

Lukas led Murat to his office and ordered not to be troubled. He settled himself comfortably and offered his companion glass of whisky. After being in silence for couple of minutes, Lukas decided to start first with the questions.

-          Since I found out about this, I always wanted to ask you, but I knew that Alli will never allow me. How can you do this to teenagers, how can you allow them such a surgery? – angrily asked Lukas

-          I didn’t. – answered Murat

-          What? – Lukas was confused

-          You heard it. I never allowed the surgery. – repeated Murat, - Yes, I told them that the surgery was done and they have the scars to prove it, but I never allowed it. – said Murat

-          I don’t get it. Explain! – told him Lukas

-          What I mean, is that the real surgery was never done to them. … I lied them. – explained Murat. – I knew that one day they will regret it, so I hired a friend of mine to do it. I told him to examine them and after that to make it look like they went through surgery…. After the examination he told me that they are hurt very badly and even without the surgery they will probably never be capable of having kids. – he continued, - so, I just lied them.

-          You mean that they are not infertile? – asked Lukas

-          No, at least not from a surgery. – answered Murat

-          That’s good, and this means that we still have chances of having pups together. – said Luke

-          You probably have chances. … I hope so. – sadly said Murat

-          Okay, for now that’s all I wanna know. Now, what you want to talk about with me? – asked Lukas with a serious expression

-          I want to talk about the prophesy. Or to be more specific I will talk and you will listen, because you need to hear the whole story before you understand it. - said Murat

-          Okay, I’m all ears. – told him Luke

-          Where should I start from? … well, many years ago, when neither withes, nor werewolves, or vampires still existed, when the humans were the only one living on this earth, there was a little girl. She was extraordinary. The people of her village, never wanted to be close to her, and the little girl was spending her time only with her brother, or alone. She was like an angel, so nice to everyone, even to those who were mean to her. She had a loving good heart and very beautiful smile. As the girl was growing up, she started getting a little distant from her brother, as she preferred to spend her time in the nearby forest. She was getting out early in the morning and coming back late at night. Her parents were working all the time and nobody really cared where she was spending her time, nobody except her brother. … One day the girl went out early in the morning again, but she didn’t return. Her brother was very worried for her. He waited and waited, but she wasn’t coming back. In the next morning he headed to the forest to search his little sister. He spent days looking for her, but without any luck. As he was about to give up, he heard someone laughing. An angelic laugh, just like his sister’s. Without wasting time, he headed to the direction of the voice. Running through the thick forest, he finally arrived at his destination. There sitting on the grass, surrounded by the forest animals, his sister was laughing. Eva, - he screamed, he had finally found her. The boy ran to his sister and hugged her. He was so happy that he had finally managed to find her. His little sister, … - see brother, watch what I can do. Eva swung with her hand and the trees and the flowers started growing. – See, - she told him. – now I can make everything grow. … The boy was stunned. How the hell his little sister could do that. – Eva, how did you learn to do this? – he asked. The girl just stared at him. – Will you believe me when I tell you that I met a woman, very beautiful one. She was covered in white, and the form of the moon was on her forehead. She gave me a book, and told me to read it very carefully. She said never to show it to other people. … After I finished the book, I was capable to do everything. – the girl said. As the boy was trying to make sense of everything happening, he heard howls. – Wolfs – the boy said. – Run Eva, run. He took his sister’s hand and started running. The howls were coming closer and closer. He had no idea if they would be capable of getting into the village in time. The boy stopped. – Run Eva, I will protect you, but you need to run. Get into the village, there you will be safe. – he said. But it was too late, the wolfs had already surrounded them. They were hungry and the siblings were their dinner. Eva stared at them. She wasn’t afraid, she was angry. The wolfs slowly started to come closer and closer, when the girl spoke: “Ego primus et unus, et tenebras lucem, ut iubes prohibere. Discedite!” ( I, the first and the one, the light and the darkness, command you to stop. Stay away!  )- she said and they stopped moving– “Tu, qui nati sunt in bestiis et sine sensu est amor, et predonum, ego hodie praecipio tibi anima humana. A hodie deponunt, eris homines dimidium, dimidium insclupto.”( You, who are born into the wild, the one without a sense of love, the predators, I'm giving you the human soul. From today onwards, you will be half humans, half wolfs. ) When she finished, the wolfs fall on the ground and started twisting. They were in pain, and it was visible. Eva was not moving from her place. She was standing still, watching them suffer. That’s when the cracking started. The boy was scared, scared from the noises coming from the wolfs. After couple of minutes, he was about to pass out from the view in front of him. All of the wolfs were now people, completely naked people laying on the grass. His sister patted his shoulder, like a reminder that she is still there. – They won’t hurt anyone, at least not anymore. - Eva said. She went to one of the men laying on the grass and touched his forehead. – You will learn how to talk with time, but for now, I will give you the ability to speak with your mind. – she told him. – You will be their leader. You will teach them how to survive, you will teach them how to be like other people. You are their Alpha. – Eva said and stepped back. The man made couple of tries to stand up, and after couple of minutes struggling, he was finally capable to stand to his feet. … Eva became the creator of the werewolves, and the first witch. She was neither black, nor white witch, she was the creator, the first and only one of her kind. – Murat ended

-          But what this has in common with the prophesy? – asked Lukas. – And how do you know this? According to our history, the moon goddess created us, not some witch.

-          Yes, that’s the story she wanted to be known. And how I know? … Eva was and is still my little sister.

-          Your what? – asked surprised Lukas

-          Yes, my sister. I was the boy who witnessed Eva’s magic. I was the one who saw the first werewolves. … You probably want to know how I’m still alive. – Murat asked and Lukas nodded. – When we got back to the village, my sister made me promise her that none of what happened will be found out. Of course, I promised her. As the years we passing, I was becoming old, but my sister wasn’t aging at all. We had to change places, to move from town to town. At the beginning, we were introducing ourselves as brother and sister, but later as I was becoming older and older, we started telling people that we were father and daughter. One day Eva told me that she can’t lose me, and she made me a werewolf. She changed me with the only difference, that she made me immortal like herself. As the years were passing, more of here students were becoming obsessed with the power she was holding, and they were changing sides. That’s how the dark witches were born. One of them in particular, hated my sister deeply. She wanted her power, but she wasn’t capable to take it from her, that’s why with the price of her life she cursed her. Even thou my sister was very powerful, the blood curse, the one made with the price of life, can’t be broken. … She cursed my sister to die six years after she give birth to a girl. … My sister knew that there were still so many things to be done, that’s why she never had a relationship. For all her one thousand and five hundred years she never allowed herself to love. She was lonely, she had only me, and when she was about to turn five hundred years, she begged the Moon Goddess, she begged her to never allow someone to suffer like her. That’s when the moon goddess gave us out mates. … Eva wanted to worship the Goddess for her love, and that’s why she created the story in which the Goddess was the creator of the werewolves. … Everything was going perfectly fine for us, until Eva found her Alpha. The one destined for her. The Goddess had given her a mate. She was both happy and terrified. My sister tried to reject him, to make him go away, but you already know that this is not possible. One day she came to and told me that she wants to feel happiness too. Even if this costs her life. I was broken, but happy at the same time. I always knew my sister was lonely, no matter how many people were surrounding her. They were happy for a whole ten years before Eva got pregnant. At that time, she told her mate everything about her past. He was broken. To find out that your mate will die and nothing can prevent it is devastating. She made him promise her that he will raise his daughter the right way, but Eva kept another secret from us. When it was time for her to give birth, she gathered both of us and told us, that the curse was not only for her, but for her daughter too. The baby wasn’t supposed to live at all. The moment she gives birth to the baby, it will die. We were standing there like stones without knowing what to say, think, or do. That’s when Eva said the Moon Goddess had visited her. The Goddess told her a prophesy about a girl that will rule the entire supernatural world, but whether it will be with love or with fear it will depend from the man standing beside her. The baby was born from the blood of the Goddess, and that’s what prevented the curse from happening. Alexandra is the baby from the prophesy. She is going to receive her powers during the blood moon after two weeks. Her mother made sure to lock the powers she was born with till she is old enough to use them. Alex was supposed to stay with me and her father after her mother’s death, but the accident, … Everything went wrong after the accident. Both of her parents died and I wasn’t capable of finding her. I searched for years, until one day, the girl I raised brought me two little, dirty girls, afraid even from their shadows. I instantly recognized my niece. From that moment, I made sure to fulfill my promise to my sister. – Murat finished his story. – So now, you know the entire story. The truth hiding behind the lies.

-          … I, … I, have no idea what I’m supposed to say. – said Lukas, - Why you said this to me instead to Alexandra? – he asked him

-          Because Alex will remember everything during the blood moon, and that will be the moment when she will need you most. Her powers will be out of control and her mind will be overflowed with information. … I just want to give her two more weeks of happiness before everything comes to her. – Murat said

-          I see, - started Lukas, - is there something else I need to know? Something that you might have forgotten to mention? -  sarcastically Lukas asked

-          No, not for now. – told him Murat

The two men were staying in the quiet office, each one of them thinking about everything that was said. Murat was thinking about his painful past and his sister, while Lukas was still trying to make sense of everything he had heard. The voices of Alli and Sang laughing were like a melody to Lukas’s ears. A smile formed on his face hearing how happy his mate was laughing. There was nothing more he wanted for her than to be happy.
