THE PROPHECY AND THE ALPHA'S THRONE

THE HIDDEN SECRETS Xie POV: No!! Don't kill it, it's a being, can't you see? I shouted. But my queen, this is a fish, not a human. One of the guards said, trying to kill it. Don't hurt him. I think it's a Merman, half-fish, half-human. Look deep and you will see the head. I think he is trapped and he needs help. Let's help him, we can't afford to let him die beside we are not allowed to eat humans, I said politely. But my Queen Liang wanted to say something, but I cut him off. No, but besides, besides am not yet the queen, and I have told you to stop addressing me. As I replied, still looking at the innocent Merman, I felt pity for him. Let's help get him out of the trap. We can hide him. No one would know, just between us, I pleaded with my guard. "My queen, sorry Xie, you know it's a taboo. "I mean we are different from this being," Liang said with concern, I know, that was why I was helping him. Immediately after he is healed, he will go back to where he came from. *************************************************** FLASHBACK Chang is a prince of the Arsrin River. Right from the day he was born, a prophecy had it that he was to marry the alpha queen, but the truth is nobody knows how and when it will happen, even though it was her destiny. He was restricted from leaving the palace until he became an adult. He always liked to swim at the top of the river to see the humans, but unfortunately, as he was swimming, he fell into a trap that was set for fish. PRESENT DAY I feel like I'm dying. I need help. Why is she coming closer? She looks innocent, but something is strange. I mean, why would she be a human at the same time as a wolf? Oh, help, help, help. He was still struggling when my guards helped him out of the river. By that time, he had fainted. We took him to a cave where we hid him. I healed him with my powers, and after many hours, he woke up. What am I doing here? Who are you, and what do you want from me? He asked with fear. We are not going to hurt you. We saw you by the riverside trapped, so we decided to help you. If you recover fully, you are free to leave by the small river behind the cave. I stood up to leave but stopped and turned to him. I'm Xie. What about you? Chang didn't reply. It is okay if you don't want to tell me your name. I turned to leave. When I hear a voice, I'm Chang. He replied. I smiled, "Nice meeting you, Chang". I turned and left with her guards. She is kind and beautiful. I murmured Ah, but I still feel a little pain in my lungs, oh. I murmured in pain. Nobody must know a mermaid is here. He will leave once he is fully recovered. That is clear, Xie said. Yes, my queen. They all replied. ************************************************ Uncle Zhang POV "I can't let a girl rule over us, the prophecy is about to come to pass, and we need to stop it," Zhang spoke out of anger. But how can we stop it? Asked one of his trusted men. We need Luo, Xie's twin sister. We have to use her to fulfill our plans. Luo is not the rightful heir; Xie is. Xie was born on the first moon, so she processes the power of the moon. I said to myself, still looking out the window. How can we convince her? One of his right men asked, confused. We have to lie to her that the throne belongs to her and that her father wants to give it to her sister instead of her. We have to make sure she develops a hatred for her family, then we can strike. Zhang smiled wickedly. I have sent a message to her. She will be here very soon. I replied and moved to sit down. ************************************************ LUO POV: Luo entered Uncle, I saw your message. You want to see me. Luo said. I had been expecting you for a long time, and finally you came. Zhang replied. How are you doing? How is your father? I asked, pretending to care. Uncle, we are all fine. She replied, smiling. That is nice, there are some truths I want you to know about the throne. I waited until you came of age. Okay, Uncle, what is it all about? She asked, eager to know. I know you have been asking questions about your birth, how you and your sister were born, and the secret behind it, right? I asked with an evil smile. Well, Uncle Zhang, my dad told me that Xie was born immediately after the first moon arose. Later than I was born, that automatically meant she was the future queen, and I was meant to assist her as the queen. Together we would rule the Alphas. Luo replied calmly. That was a lie, my dear, your father wants to give your position to your sister because he loves her dearly and wishes her to be the queen. Zhang replied this time with seriousness. What!!!! No, my father can't do that to me. I am telling you the truth. Besides, the two of you are twins. Why do they have to choose your sister over you? You mean I am the rightful owner of the throne, and he wants to give it to my sister, then I become the slave. Luo asked with anger. "Exactly," Zhang replied. "That is why you need to fight for your right now or never," Zhang said. No, I need to see my father. I can't let anyone take what is right away from me. "No never," Luo said and rushed out of anger. Zhang laughed wickedly and said to himself, the battle had just begun.
