Forgetting the Alpha King

Halfbreed

I wake up hearing birds chirping above me with a quiet wave coming in from the lake. It’s a peaceful day and I’m ready to talk to my parents about my real parents. Dads already up cooking when I open my tent to go to the bathroom. I freshen up and head over and both mom and dad are there finishing breakfast. We sit at the table and my mom already starts the conversation I’ve been waiting to here.

 “You know you’re a miracle child right? You’re a half breed, half demon half angel. Your mom saved your dad not knowing who he was. She found him in human form trapped in a spellbound sleep deep within a cave. She was trying to help a charge when he got stuck underground. A charge is someone an angel is in charge of who is a good human being. So she pretty much is like a guardian angel to them. Someone who will be a strong asset to the angel community in the future. Then she heard a heartbeat and followed it. She saw him as only human but had no idea who he was and what he did. Being the angel that she was she saw a paralyzed human being who needed help. She summoned a white witch who also didn’t know who he was and then with both her and the witches powers they were able to unbind the enchantments, but there was a price.” Mom said sadly. 

“In order to break the enchantment only pure hearted souls would be trusted to do this. A pure soul can only be the one to open such a sleepless vessel. Whoever left this body there did this to save lives. This person must’ve done something really bad in their lifetime to deserve a sentence like this. An eternal sleep. See from what she thought this person was someone that they could not kill but at least imprison. But at this time your mom just felt a heartbeat not good or bad. They opened the casket and was able to retrieve the body. Because of this she broke an unbreakable seal. The seal caused her to lose her halo. She didn’t know that she unlocked a sleeping demon king.” dad said as he turned to hold mom's hand. This demon king was her Grace. Mates for angels were called Grace and she was his Wick. Mates for demons are called Wicks. 

“Now the witch was able to leave without the burden of the seal, since your mom was the one to pull the body out. The witch was sworn to secrecy since they just realized what they released was something that should never have been found. His body still gave out a human aura so she still didn’t know who it was. Your mom had a choice to kill the vessel or to keep the vessel alive. Once again not knowing, she brought the vessel back to health and the being was able to open its eyes and then realized where he was. Now because he was in a human body he could not trace who she really was and also saw her as a mere human. He decided to use her till his body was fully healed and for him to get his powers back. During that time it was a good 3 months and by then they had pretty much realized how comfortable living with each other was and started a blooming relationship. She was banished as an angel so there was no point to go back to heaven. She just decided to stay on earth to help whoever she could and she was okay with it. By around 6 months they had already admitted that they wanted to be together as their feelings went from mere friends to lovers.” Mom said deep in thought. 

“See this world inhuman or human has its kicks and no matter who you are, love will always conquer all. He was scared to tell your mom who he was and thought she may run off. So he sealed his powers to wait for the right timing. The demon king didn’t realize that his powers started to flow back, but not from him.” as dad said that both mom and dad looked at me. 

I looked at them questioning what they could be thinking. 

“His powers was flowing from a little being growing in his lovers womb. Your mom pretty much felt power from her belly and thought it was because she was an angel. So she knew it was time to tell him who she was. She had everything planned out and was ready to tell him everything when a few angels picked up on that power. She greeted them, but little did she know they were going after her baby. While your dad left to hunt they attacked your mom and went for you. She knew who these angels were and asked why go for an innocent child. They told her that the child bears the mark of a powerful demon and that this can not happen between an angel and demon. Of course your mom was confused but she definitely didn’t want any harm to be done to you. So she fought because you were innocent and instead of calling for your father she called for her white witch friend.” Mom said smiling. 

She asked the witch to bind the angels memories so that she could hide you. You were innocent and the witch understood that as well. See children hold power. They definite the present and future for all of us. With that being said, her witch friend removed their memories and your mom left with the witch. That witch is my aunt Claudia. Your mom asked her to find a trustworthy couple to raise you as their own to hide you away from the angels that came to look for you and from your father who lied to her, but she was guilty as well since she was an angel. And no matter how much she would run and hide she knew that either angel or demon would find her. So she gave you up so that you would not live a life of running and being scared.” Mom said about to cry.

“Your mom binded your demon and angel powers using the same incantations to hold your father in the casket underground so that no one could ever feel your demon or angel presence. Aunt Claudia helped out as well since it was a powerful binding spell. It was perfect for witches to raise you since we have unremarkable magic that changes within the natural event of our magic. So we can pretty much do almost anything if we can conjure it.” Dad said pleased. 

“So my mom is running and my dad is some powerful demon trying to find both of us and I have angels trying to kill me?” I say with fear in my eyes again. 

As soon as my body picks up danger my back starts to ache again. I see my parents rushing to my side of the table and they begin saying sweet words to me to calm me down. I feel my body slowly go from 100 to 0 and I realize to keep my parents safe I must control my emotions. Fear is one that triggers my wings and I can not let this ever happen in public. 

“We know this is a lot to take in and we waited to tell you this before you left to high school. So we planned to take you on this trip before we went to the council meeting.” Dad softly said. 

"Also we do not know the whereabouts of both your parents but we did not lie about your parents wings. Your mom being an angel has white wings and your dad being a demon has black wings. But like we said earlier when using incantations there is always a price. Your moms wings were stripped when she bounded your demon and angel power. Whoever left the incantations for your father had a huge impact on their powers as well. We are telling you this now since there will be a time and period in your life where you will find the answers and we wanted to tell you instead of some book or professor. Everything comes with a price, Kana remember that.” Mom whispered softly as she sat next to me and held me. 

I started crying. Feeling sorry for my mom who had to run from her demon lover, angels, lost her halo and now her wings to protect me. 

“I thought they didn’t love me and I finally accepted that” I sobbed out. 

“Honey your mother loved you so much and if your dad knew who you were I know even a demon would find some type of compassion towards you like he did for your mom. Your blood runs with both of them in you. Your mom thought this was best for you and to be honest we think the same. You are a blessing to us and we appreciate having you as our daughter everyday. We are sorry we did not come forward with this earlier for you and kept this information away from you for so long. We just wanted you to understand what had happened at a good age” Mom says crying. 

“ I love and appreciate you guys as my parents too” I say while hugging them closely. 

“What do you think now, honey” mom says while serving me breakfast. 

“ I have a lot of questions and I do think school out of country will be the answer.” I say while munching on bacon. 

“We are with you 100% of the way love.” Dad says while piling bacon on his plate. 

“Today is the day of the annual council meeting. This is also the day of the mating ball for the werewolves. Your mom and I are going to the meeting to represent the witch and warlock community since his Majesty Richard and Queen Esmerelda just had their first born son. After the meeting we will leave to go back home and then you must pack for school. And when we mean pack we mean right when we get home. You always do last minute packing like this one.” Mom furrows her brows at me as she pats my back. 

“Okay okay I understand” I roll my eyes while finishing up my breakfast. 

“Let’s clean up and get ready to head over to the palace” says mom as she starts cleaning up her area. 

“Time to pack up and head on over”says dad.

Today is going to be a rough day but nothing I can't handle. I will end this summer with my parents and start a new life in school learning everything I can about my real parents. Until now I will learn to control my emotions and temper and make sure I’m in check for my parents sake and for mine. I will pray everyday for my mom and hope for the best for her.
