Derek's POV
I just stood frozen having zero idea about what's happening. Dad smiled looking at me but I wasn't in a state to return it.
Everyone before me raised their heads but didn't stand. They still remained bowed.
Dad tilted his head, gesturing to me to take the lead. And so, I did. I raised my right hand up in the air looking at them. They instantly rose and stood on their feet with probably the biggest smiles I've ever seen.
"So now! I guess you know the purpose of the gathering" Dad spoke again and all the Alphas, Betas and the heirs nodded.
"So soon, he will start his work designated by the Moon Goddess. It's finally the time I have to show him to the world." Dad finished saying.
The whole crowd erupted into another loud round of roars and applause.
"You can all continue the party now" Uncle Tyler yelled, making everyone smile and resume whatever they were doing earlier.
I was too shocked to say anything. Dad descended the stage and I did too. We walked towards the main table covered in Golden cloth. The table for the King's family. Mom was already having her dinner.
"We will talk about everything later. Have dinner" she spoke without even glancing at me.
Why is everyone behaving weird right now?
Nonetheless, I nodded. I walked towards the feast table and filled my plate with lasagna,mashed potatoes and a piece of cherry pie.
Juan came to me and bowed. I nodded which made him get back up.
"I'm sorry I made fun of you," he stared at the floor.
"That's ok. Good thing you don't believe anything that easy" I smiled.
There was a plate of food in his hand.
"Eat with me?" It was more like a command so he nodded with a huge smile.
We spotted an empty table and sat there. He talked about his pack and how he wants to be the Alpha their people want. He was also fun to be with except for his overflowing Alpha blood. Looks like he is obsessed with the thought of being Alpha. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
After talking to a few more heirs, Alphas dad called it a night. By that time many have left already. The remaining will rest at their designated guest houses in the pack. Uncle Tyler was escorting them to the guest houses.
"Shall we leave?" Dad asked me and I nodded.
Dad, mom and I piled in dad's car and the drive home was so silent. No one spoke a single word. This silence wasn't comforting in the least bit.
As soon as we reached home we heard yells. Obviously!! The twins and Abigail can't spend a minute without fighting!
"You were so good out there Derek" Uncle Aaron smiled and punched my shoulder.
I smiled back but I was still confused. I wish someone could tell me what's happening.
"Kids!! To your rooms please" Dad said in his Alpha tone making Abigail,Kevin, Kian and Rose scurry away to their rooms.
"Shall we sit?" Dad asked and that's when I knew that this is huge.
Dad and Grandpa share the same trait in this. They both usually sit and talk about the most important matters. Grandpa says it helps him not to get angry soon. And he also says dad inherited it from him.
Everyone nodded and walked to the living room and so did I. I sat beside dad as usual with Mom on the other side of dad.
"So... Derek, whatever we are going to tell you, will be a lot to take in. But remember that we will be there to help you" Dad said with a hand on my shoulder.
Now this is starting to get creepy. I am curious to know but I believe in dad's timing. He will do it, when it's the right time.
"Ok! Listen!!" Dad sighed.
"The Moon Goddess first created three werewolves that can shift into human and wolf according to the place they are in. She wanted to see how well adaptive they could be. Those three wolves were good to each other and also the humans. Moon Goddess was so happy with her creation and so, she created many more werewolves like that. And she also gifted the three werewolves the powers no one could imagine."
" The first and strongest wolf got the power to control the earth, sky and the entire weather. The second werewolf got the power to control water. The third werewolf got the power to control fire. With those elements, they could either bring world peace or destroy the whole planet"
" They were called The Lunar Wolves and Moon Goddess called her as her own children." Dad said and it took me a few moments to let that all sink in.
"What does that have to do with this dad?" I asked.
"Derek... You are a Lunar Wolf" Dad said and I felt everything in the room freeze.
I couldn't process what he said. Me? Lunar Wolf??
"How do you know?" I asked him in return.
"Because your mom is one and Betty too" he said and that's when I lost it.
My eyes wide as saucers and I couldn't help but gasp. Mom? Lunar wolf? Aunt Betty too?? Ok.. this is really getting a lot to take in.
I looked at Mom. She released a long breath and stood. She walked to the front and closed her eyes. My eyes were observing every move of her. She opened her eyes and her eyes turned black with specs of gold.
Is this s**t even possible?
She stretched her hands and snapped her fingers creating a ball of ice. She threw that in the air and it was directed towards me. I was about to be hit by an ice ball but right before it hit me, a ball of fire collided with it making both ice and fire vanish.
I looked to my right and there stood Aunt Betty with black eyes and specs of gold. So she was the one who created the fire ball.
Holy cow!
So mom's element is water and Aunt Betty's element must be fire. And that also means... Am I the strong Lunar Wolf with power of Earth and Sky?
