Betrayed by the Alpha's Son

CHAPTER FOUR

Suddenly, I was rendered powerless. It’s like my soul was being drained out of my body. I couldn’t stand on my two feet, so I fell to the ground and passed out.

As I peeled open my eyes, I found myself in a weird place I didn’t’ know. I looked around and it was a dark room, which was empty and only had a bed which I was laying on.

“Hello, is anyone here?” I asked.

There was no response. I decided to get up and get myself the hell out of there. Upon standing, I heard footsteps.

I began to panic because I didn’t know how I got there and who took me there.

I tried to hide but, you know, an empty room. I ran to the door and stood by the corner, ready to attack.

As the door opened, I got ready and waited for him to move closer to the bed, which he did, then I used my demon powers to make him float in the air.

Causing him to drop the food and water he brought me. He was trying so hard to free himself so, I couldn’t see his face.

“Lukundo, it’s me, James!!. he shouted.

“Oh my God, James. “

I immediately let him go and he fell to the floor. Well, he wasn’t supposed to know I was a demon so I panicked and dropped him to the ground.

“I am so sorry, I did not mean to do that, I didn’t know it was you”, I said in worry because I did not know how he would react.

“That’s okay, but are you okay, you should be resting, why are you up?” He asked as he was getting himself up.

“Don’t worry about me, I’m okay. How did I get here?

“I found you laying on the ground powerless, so I decided to bring you here. And Suwilanji thinks you’re a threat to the world.

“Oh s**t, oh my word, how is she?. Is she okay?” I just remembered what happened before I was brought to this place".

“Wait, were you there when it all happened”? I asked James.

“No I wasn’t, but is it true? Do you have demon powers?.

“What, no, I don’t have demon powers, why would you ask me that”?

“Well. Suwilanji thinks you do, plus you literary made me float in mid-air. You can tell me, I promise to keep your secret safe.

I hesitated a bit and thought, what if he doesn’t take the truth lightly, what then? I froze for a while.

“Hello, Lukundo. Are you there, he waved his hand at my face. You can trust me.

“Okay, yes I have demon powers, I am a demon.

“Wow, I can’t believe this, I’ve met a demon in action, I thought they were just myths. “You won’t hurt me right”? James asked.

“What, no, I wouldn’t do that. I don’t hurt people you know. well, unless I’m under the attack of course”.

I couldn’t believe that I told someone about my true identity, he was the first person to know, well, of course, suwilanji knew too because I attacked her.

“So how did you become a demon”? he asked.

“Honestly I don’t know. All I know is that my father was a demon. And now, I want to know more about my father’s past”.

“I can help you if you don’t mind”.

“Oh, thanks, but I wouldn’t want to get you involved in my problems, I mean I’ve been suspended from school, so this is my opportunity”.

“Don’t worry about school, I will figure something out, and I won’t take no for an answer.

“Alright, fine, you can help. But if it turns out to be dangerous I will ask you to go back, are we clear”?

“Alright, Lukundo that’s okay with me”.

Now I had to figure out what id tell mom, she had no idea that I was suspended from school.

“So. How are you planning on finding the truth about your father”? James Asked.

“Well. His hometown was in Meanwood, so I was thinking I could go there first” I replied.

“Okay, is there a place we can stay when we get there”?

“No, I honestly don’t know anyone there but ill figure something out when we get there”.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, but, we’ll do as you have said”.

I couldn’t think of anything to tell my mother, so, I just wrote her a letter.

In the letter, I said, “hey mom ill be gone for a few days, don’t worry about me, I just have to get something done. I love you”.

“I’m going to give the letter to my mom now”, I said looking at the note.

As I walked out, he held my hand and said.

“What’s the rush, You can deliver it later, let's catch up, we’ve only hung out once, you know, I’ll take you there myself to deliver the note afterward. I insist”, he said.

I agreed to it and put the note on the table that was right next to me.

James and I talked the whole night, I couldn’t stop looking at him.

He had peeked eyes of hazel and honey. Which shone like sunlight on polished stone and hid a wealth of well-justified mistrust.

The night went by so fast, I don’t remember how I slept.

As I woke up the following morning, I was in his arms, and it felt right.

It suddenly hit me that I did not meet up with the alpha, the previous night and that I didn’t call my mother to let her know what was going on.

“Oh no, how could I have forgotten, she must be worried sick thinking where I was.

I began to look for my phone, I looked around and remembered that I had left it on the floor close to the door.

I ran to check if mom tried to call me or text me, but my phone was off.

I started pacing around the room wondering what I was going to tell my mother.

“It's all my fault Lukundo, I am sorry. I should not have stopped you last night when you were about to go”.

“No, it's not your fault James. It's mine, I shouldn’t have fallen asleep, I have to go, right now”.

I immediately stormed out, all I wanted was to get home as soon as possible but I knew I had a lot of explaining to do.

As I approached home, the atmosphere changed. I felt like something bad had happened.

Without thinking twice, I ran inside the house to check if she was home.

To my surprise, the door was slightly open. This was odd because my mother never left the door open, she always kept it shut.

I walked in and the place was so quiet. I expected her to be sitting, waiting for me to walk in. But the living room was empty, and the television set was on.

“Mom, are you here”? I walked while looking around.

There was no response, I went on and checked the kitchen and she wasn’t there. In my mind, I just knew that she had to be home.

I went upstairs calling out to her and still didn’t get any response.

“Mom, look, im sorry I did not come home last night. Can you please come out from wherever you are so that I explain myself?

I walked closer to her bedroom. I knocked on the door and asked if she was there, and like before there was no response.

I slowly opened the door, then walked in but found nothing, she wasn’t there too. I sat on her bed and began thinking where she could be and why the door was slightly open.

It suddenly hit me.

“Oh, she could be taking a bath I guess, but just to be sure let me check,” I said to myself.

I could hear the water running.

“Mom, are you bathing? I’m sorry I didn’t come home last night, you're probably wondering where I went. And im here to give you answers”.

She did not respond to anything I said.

“Can you hear me? I asked.

I realized that I didn’t hear any movement coming from the bathroom but running water only.

“I’m coming in” I pushed the door open.

And what I found in there was so bad, that I could not believe my eyes.
