Frankies Redemption

Chapter 1 - This Is My Story - Part 1.

Frankie's P.O.V.

Blessed, entitled, privileged.

I guess these are just some of the words you could use to describe me.

At eighteen years old, I've lived a pretty extraordinary life and I've been blessed with so many different luxuries that most people can only dream about but will probably never get the chance or opportunity to actually have or experience.

I haven't just been blessed financially, I've also been blessed with possessions such as beautiful and expensive homes, cars, jewellery etc as well as with the opportunity to use our private jet to travel to different countries and experience different cultures and ways of life.

But my biggest blessing in life is my family who I love and adore and who I'm extremely over-protective of.

My family consists of my parents Cole and Natalia Vasquez who are one of the world's strongest alpha and Luna couples, my siblings Dimitri, Massimo, Grayson, Nikolai, Isabella, Xander, Xavier and Kailani.

I'm also an uncle to two of the most adorable little creatures I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, my nephew Adrian and my princess niece Ariana.

I absolutely adore my niece and nephew and I can't wait for them to come back home from their travels with their parents because I haven't seen them in a couple of months now and I miss them so much.

I'm also the grandson of our former alpha king and Luna queen Koa and Tia Harrison which makes me the prince of all supernaturals and one of many in the line of succession to the throne but I don't have any hopes or aspirations of being king and neither does any of my siblings.

Don't get me wrong, being king sounds cool and all but it also sounds like a major pain in the ass and a lot of hard work which just isn't for me.

It's not that I'm lazy and either can't or won't get my hands dirty if I wanted to because I would, in fact, I work really hard not just with my pack but with other packs and organisations as well, it's just that I prefer an easy life and don't think being alpha or an alpha king is for me.

I like being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want and being able to do things I love such as going out and having fun with my friends, going to the bar for a few drinks and also going on spontaneous and lengthy vacations which I wouldn't be able to do if I had to worry and stress about all of the hard work that comes with being an alpha or alpha king and having to run a pack or in the latter's case, an entire realm.

A common misconception with royal families whether they're human ones or royal ones are that we all live peaceful and glamorous lives as we sit on our thrones draped in millions of dollars worth of diamonds and gold and that's just not the truth.

Royal family members work incredibly hard, especially those who are either in their current reign or are heirs to the throne because they have to make sure everyone in their realms are happy and are following the rules set by the reigning king and queen.

As for the heirs, they have to prove to their future people that they're worthy of being the next king and queen and they have to make sure their people have got faith in them because the last thing a future monarch wants is for their people to lose faith in them before they're even crowned.

This is why I've got no desire to become king.

Anyway, as you can tell, I come from a very strong and powerful lineage and because of this, I've been able to live a very comfy and privileged lifestyle and I've never had to want for anything or worry about anything in my life.

I've also been blessed as a hybrid from birth which is kind of rare in our realm because the races normally don't like to mix and breed with each other but it still happens every now and then hence how myself, my momma, my siblings, my sister-in-law and my nephew and niece exist.

I'm a werewitch hybrid and I've got several different powers such as my freezing power, well, I call it my freezing power only because I'm always freezing s**t, especially when I'm angry but I don't think that's the official name for it.

With this power, I can manipulate anything by either freezing, liquefying or evaporating anything that is made with liquid or ice, it's crazy.

I also possess the power of psychokinesis which basically explains itself but for those who don't know what it is, it's where I can move anything including people with my mind.

I absolutely love this power and it's been a huge blessing in my life, especially when I need to quickly get away from somewhere like for example if I see one of the girls who I've had s*x with coming my way and I need to disperse really fast because she's become really clingy with me, I use this power.

Like many of the males in my family, I'm a manwhore which is the word my momma and little sister love to call me because I love to sleep around and also because I've always got girls hanging around me.

Many people even consider me to be a stereotypical popular, rich, bad boy, playboy like what you see in movies or read in books, the only exception between me and them is that I never played sports in school.

I recently graduated from high school alongside my brother, sister and cousins who are my age but when I was in school, I ruled it alongside my brother Nikolai and my sister Isabella but Nik and I would often try to keep our distance from Izzy because she can be a major pain in the ass for us, not to mention she's a massive cockblocker.

She always without fail manages to either frighten away our potential hookups or she fights with them both verbally and physically.

Isabella is extremely over-protective of both myself and Nikolai but also our family name and she refuses to allow us to get with women who she thinks are below us and are only using us to get into our family.

I love my sister wholeheartedly and I totally understand where she's coming from and why she would act this way because there are a lot of women out there who do use us because of who we are and they immediately think that if they play their cards right then they'll end up with a ring on their finger and a royal status securing their future with our family but this will never happen.

My parents have raised all of their kids to love, honour and respect the mate bond and they drilled it into us that if we disrespect it, then it would be like saying a massive f**k you to the moon goddess herself, so there's no way they'd ever allow us to give our family name to someone who isn't our mate, especially with some of the girls we Vasquez men tend to hook up with.

One of the girls who thought this way and who my family really aren't keen on is my ex-girlfriend Shelby Williams.

I first met Shelby when we were both just thirteen after she had moved to our pack alongside her parents Henry and Marcia and her older brother Oliver.

She instantly latched onto me and started following me around and when I realised she wasn't going to leave me alone, I decided to be her friend which at the time I didn't regret because we were both kids and she was new to the pack, she had no one and she needed a friend, now looking back, I really wish that I hadn't gotten so close to her.

I didn't know it at the time but Shelby used our friendship and her affiliation with a member of the alpha and royal family to build her popularity within the pack and spread not only fear and intimidation amongst the pack members but also lies making them believe that she was my mate as well as the new future princess of all supernaturals.

I started to date Shelby when we were fifteen even despite both my family and the pack's dislike of her.

I ignored their feelings and complaints and instead, I focused on my own and the fact that I had this beautiful, smoking hot girlfriend who at the time, I believed was a sweet girl with a gentle nature and a kind heart because that's how she always portrayed herself to me in front of the pack and behind closed doors but I later learned how wrong I was.

After all, as the good old saying goes, you should be careful with who you trust because even the devil was once an angel.

I never realised just how true this statement was until I had fallen deeply in love with Shelby.

I was absolutely besotted with the blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty and I always looked at the world through rose-tinted glasses during our entire relationship, so much so that I didn't know how much everyone deeply despised Shelby and I had even fallen out with my own damn sister on numerous occasions because of her.

At the time, I thought it was just Isabella being her usual bitchy self but now I know that there was more to what was going on than what I was seeing.

I soon saw Shelby's true colours the day after my sixteenth birthday but it was already too late in a way because I had given her something that I couldn't get back and now more than anything I wish that I had just waited for my mate like I had promised my momma.

Anyway, on my birthday I spent the day with Shelby which instantly pissed off Nikolai and Izzy because we had always promised each other that we'd do something big together to celebrate our birthday but instead, I blew them off for my girlfriend.

I didn't regret my decision at the time and I happily spent the day having fun at Santa Monica pier with my girl before going home and getting ready for my party but now I feel like a total ass, especially after I found out what my brother and sister had organised for us.

I still had a great birthday and a fun night at my party even despite the obvious tension between myself and my siblings and I even ended the night in spectacular fashion when I lost my virginity to the girl who I thought was the love of my life.

I remember going to bed that night feeling blissfully happy and thinking life couldn't be more perfect for me after having what I considered to be one of the best nights of my life but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end and that's what happened the next day at school when everything came crashing down around me.

I hadn't seen Shelby since I arrived at school because we never shared any classes together during our entire school career, which isn't shocking considering I'm smart and she's as dumb as a box of rocks.

I knew however that I was going to see her at lunch because she and her friends always loved to sit with us so they could make all of the other girls at our school green with envy.

I was heading to the school cafeteria with Nikolai when out of nowhere we started to hear people continuously chant the word fight in unison.

Nik and I went to see what was going on and who was fighting and to my horror, I saw Isabella and Shelby ripping each other apart, well, Izzy was ripping Shelby apart and Shelby was doing her best to fight her back but failed because A) she's not a natural born fighter and B) she was going up against someone with alpha and royal blood.

We immediately split the girls up and pulled them apart which the crowd wasn't happy about but I couldn't give a s**t because these two were my girls and I needed to find out what had happened? and why they were fighting each other?.

But like with every story, there are three sides to it and I was torn between who to believe because on one hand, I had my girlfriend who I thought was the love of my life and she was accusing my sister of attacking her in a jealous rage as she acted like a shy, timid, frightened, hard done by little kitten who was being attacked by the big, scary and wild tiger.

Then there was my baby sister, my Isabella, the big, scary and wild tiger who was absolutely furious when she had heard what Shelby had to say and she even tried to break free from Nik's hold on her so that she could attack her again.

Nikolai eventually calmed our sister down again and we found out that Shelby had been walking around like she was the queen of f*****g Sheba announcing to anyone who will listen that we're mates and that she was going to be a member of the alpha and royal family.

She also disrespected a lot of pack members and demanded that they do whatever she tells them to do including bowing down to her like she's actually royalty when she's not.

This pissed me off because I'm someone who is actually a royal and even I don't demand to be bowed down to, neither does anyone in my family, in fact, the only people in our family who supernaturals have to bow down to are my uncle Nathan and my auntie Rachel because they're our reigning alpha king and Luna queen.

Some people still bow to my grandparents but I think that's more out of respect than anything else.

Shelby of course tried to deny Izzy's claims and called her a liar but she was outed as one herself when half of the student body who was there, sided with Isabella and they not only confirmed what Izzy had told us but they elaborated more and told us something else which made both myself and Nikolai absolutely furious.

One girl said that Shelby told Isabella that they're family now and she can get away with pretty much anything now that she's a member of both the Vasquez family and the royal family.

Another girl also said that Shelby demanded respect from Isabella as the future princess of all supernaturals and she even told my sister she was beneath her now because she's the mate and future wife of her older brother.

But that's not what made my brother and I angry, what made us angry was when our cousin Matty stepped forward and told us he'd overheard Shelby insulting Isabella calling her fat and ugly and had even said to her whilst laughing 'you're so ugly and gross Isabella, you're not even worthy of being alpha Cole and Luna Natalia's daughter or Frankie's sister and I wouldn't be surprised if you're mate rejects you for someone skinnier and hotter like me for example'.

Matty's girlfriend Erica also told us that Shelby had made several nasty comments to Isabella, like for example how unfair it was that the moon goddess had blessed such a trashy b***h like Isabella with alpha and royal blood instead of someone like her who is beautiful and classy.

Another uncalled for comment Erica claimed she heard Shelby tell my sister was that she doesn't believe she's biologically related to the Vasquez family and she wouldn't be surprised if it came out that she was switched at birth or adopted because according to her, we're all hot and Isabella isn't.

This is of course all bullshit because Isabella is an exact carbon copy of our mother with the only difference between them being their eye colour, my momma has got hazel eyes whereas Isabella has got blue eyes.

There's one thing people should know about my family and this is that we're insanely protective of each other, especially us men with the women and we don't take it lightly if you hurt or insult one of us, so I wasn't happy at all when I learned my once sweet kitten had turned into a vicious, evil serpent who had attacked my sister.

Shelby tried to defend herself to me and I could tell that she wasn't doing it because she loved me but because she wanted to protect her seat on the gravy train which hurt me a lot but I masked it and I made sure to let not only Shelby but everyone else know the truth about our relationship.

I made it clear to everyone including Shelby that we weren't mates and even though she was my girlfriend who I loved deeply, she was no longer anything to me and as of this moment I wanted nothing to do with her.

I even warned her that if she didn't stay away from Isabella and leave her alone and she dared to disobey me then she would live to regret it because next time nobody will stop her from getting her ass kicked by the REAL princess of all supernaturals.

Shelby obviously wasn't happy with my decision and I heard she was super pissed with me for humiliating her in front of everyone at school but I didn't care and her feelings were totally irrelevant to me especially when it comes to mi familia. (My family)
