As my godmother reconstructed the cabin into something different and erasing our scent from the whole meadow I could only stare in the direction of my family.
"A Hybrid" I repeated absent-minded
"hmm, come again?" she shifted her focus on me
"I read stories about this from the place I came from, I was always drawn to them," I made a face " I never imagined I could be one let alone be one of a kind"
" What do you mean?" she stood next to me and placed her hand on my shoulder looking at me confused.
"In the other world there were stories about wolf's and their mates, witches, vampires along with their beloved's, Lycan's, and hybrid's I used to love reading them but there was one in particular that catch my eye" I explained to her
" and that was?" she raised her eyebrow with anticipation.
I let out a small chuckle" about wolf's who also had Lycan's but their name will always be different than their wolf they were two separate species living in one body but with me is different" I moved my arms up and down "I am known to be a hybrid thanks to Celene's information lock been open I know about the history about our ancestors but something is missing it's as if it's locked and I have a feeling it has to do with the reason of why we are different"
Sandra listen to me intently
" Celene is both wolf and Lycan there is no other entity within my body both of them are the same, I can shift between those forms, no I lied there is a difference in and that is in strength when she is in Lycan form she becomes more aggressive, violent, than when she is in her wolf form do you understand what I am trying to say?"
Celene snorted "thanks a lot for that"
"yes, confusing as it may sound yes, I do" She nodded placing her hands on her hips " what you mean to say is that usually there is either a wolf or a Lycan in a person, and if by chance a wolf and a Lycan is sharing the same space they will have different personalities and different names but you are different Celene is both the wolf and Lycan"
" I am one of a kind aren't I?" I smirk
I watched her expression change from awe to confusion to a frown as she nodded "Yes, Asu you are," she pointed at me "you are the only living royal blue blood hybrid wolf. you are royalty, my dear child"
As soon as her words sink in a million things began to form in my mind from them an indescribable feeling crept up deep within me slowly the weight of the responsibilities heavy on my shoulders "Celene already mention this, you and dad are hiding something from me and I know deep within my core that it has something to do with me being the ONLY blue blood while my brother is still alive and in perfect health condition and I know that there is more to this than meets the eye," I stared at her " it has something to do with the lock I can still feel isn't?"
she flashed a guilty expression "I- yes, the lock is there for a reason and I nor your father can't undo it, I can only tell you what I know"
"You do realize that even though I have barely any information about who I am the only thing I get is that I hold a huge responsibility on me ?" I spoke calmly but my words affected her "I am frustrated with all these damn secrets I thought I was able to understand it once we shifted but it wasn't the case, I get it I am different I need to go to be able to control my powers, powers that even I don't have a clue of why I have them, two I am not only a wolf but also a Lycan who by the way are both Celene, three My hair, eyes, face, and body have all changed once the lock was broken, fourth my mate bond is broken which don't get me wrong I am elated that is severed with that bastard, and fifth I am not only one of a kind but also royalty?"
she dropped her head slightly ashamed and guilty " I wish to be able to tell you more but I can't and I also can't say I understand you because that will be a hypocrite thing for me to do so, you have every right to feel the way you do with so many secrets around you even though what was bounding me is gone there is something else stopping me one of them is that is not my place to speak I can only tell you more about you until you have fully mastered that power and even then I am not quite sure I can I am hoping I will be able to speak but for now, we need to go and begin to train you"
she grabbed my hands " Asu is up to you, but keep in mind that it will be hard from here on out"
"Go"
I sighed " alright I will follow and go with you I will train as long as I have to I won't complain nor ask anything anymore about this but you need to promise me that I will get answers once I am done"
she looked deep into my eyes she was hesitating but I needed some kind of reassurance to keep on going " I promise you my child that when you have completed your training we will speak and I will tell you only what I can"
" I trust you, what I want is the truth please do not lie or fail me, all my hope for answers lies with you" I clenched her hands tightly but making sure I didn't break her hand in the process I tried to push aside the fact that when the time came she will most likely not tell me anything
" yes, my sweet child" her eyes seemed so sincere and loving that it almost made me believe in the way her voice sounded.
"then let's go" I smiled letting go of her hands
"Well, how about we undo that?" She winks
"the waterfall, right" I looked at it how?
"Celene" I called for her
"concentrate it's just like when you shifted with me let me take over"
I took a deep breath and let her take over her movements were swift and graceful as she waved my hand and in an instant the waterfall return to normal.
"thank you" I smiled
"You are welcome, doll,"
giving me back full control of my body I stared at the water with a pout more likely.
Sandra chuckled " do not worry after you finish the training Celene won't be the only one to do that so will you"
"Alright then," I stretched "are we going by plane or by port...
Godmother was already done with the portal even before I was finished speaking, she looked at me with a proud smile I raised my eyebrow " thank you for letting me finish"
She looked surprised " oops"
I shook my head " well then" without looking back I took a step forward with a heavy heart I stopped, Goodbye dad, brother. the only thing that was left in that small meadow was a beautiful gazebo that replaced the small fairy cottage that I had destroyed, but that was it, come to think about even the flowers that bloomed were gone, I no longer needed an explanation as to why the flowers reacted the way they did in my presence, it was my being that called them. and for that reason even the flowers had to disappear, nothing remains, We, our presence was erased.
Godmother had covered my eyes before stepping out of the portal I only felt a cool fresh breeze while she shivered, she let go of me bit by bit I open my eyes only to shut them again due to the light, when I could open my eyes I was hypnotized by the beauty of it, we were surrounded by a beautiful view of the mountains in the middle of nowhere and right at the peak was the sun beginning to shine brightly that brought a gorgeous shine as it touched one mountain peak it was so peaceful so pure that I fell in love with it, Celene would love to have a run around here. I noticed godmother shiver once more and realized it was deep into the mountains in the middle of the snow.
"You aren't cold are you?" she smiled and pointed at my calm posture
then I noticed I was perfectly fine it felt so fresh and nice out that for a moment I thought it was fall or spring " I am not" I looked at my hands and arms
" You are different Asu if you can make the water turn to ice then it figures that you would not be affected by the cold, your kind was that way they yearn for the snow it was their home in a way even though they could adapt anywhere most of them lived in snowy places " She shivered one more time " agh! is cold I'll be inside!"
I held back my laughter "Inside? Inside where?!" I saw her make a run to the two-floor cabin and then I laughed softly " never mind"
I turn my attention to the view again, we yearn for snow, this feels right, this is home now.
"This will be our home now, Celene" I whisper
" It seems like it," she whispered back
"do you not like it?"
"I love it! where ever you go is m home, my dear Asu"
I felt warm-hearted by her words, I am fine now, I nodded and sighed making my way to the cabin.
"Ah you came in, good now I can speak," she said while standing dangerously close to the fire
"how about we keep our distance from it " I pulled her a few steps back
"This cabin is basically none existence to the human eye"
"Magic?" I guessed
" No!" she frowned " well yes actually partially "
I sat down looking around the cabin once more it was like the cottage decorated in a victorian way I loved it.
" We are in the deepest part of Chamonix this place is too dangerous for people to ski or hike or even climb unless you are a wolf or witch you can find this place but there are no packs near here so we do not need to ask permission to stay here and you won't have to worry about hiding your hair and eyes from the public eye." she finally relaxed and sank back completely into the sofa snuggling in it " you can train here without feeling disturbed plus you have a lot of water here so that won't be a problem due to the snow."
"That sounds perfect, thank you"
"No, my dear you do not need to thank me," her face turned serious " Asu there is something I must warn you before we start"
I faced her " what is it?"
" your blood" she began and the moment the moon goddess mention my blood flashed in my mind I couldn't hear her right back then the only words I could decipher were blood but even that I am not sure I heard right I stumble a bit " Asu?!" she rushed to my side
"I am okay" I breathed out
" maybe you should rest and let's talk about this later" she spoke worriedly
"No. I am fine, really" I gripped her hand reassuring her
she wasn't convinced " your blood is special you must never bleed in front of people or there will be trouble"
"trouble but how?"
"well for one your blood is not red but blue-
"what do you mean by blue?" I questioned perplexed
"I mentioned before of who you are, the color of your fur is bluish with white that is the symbol of royalty the second symbol is your blood, even if you do not reveal your wolf your blood will reveal who you are, you need to be extra careful with that"
I nodded, hiding my wolf and not bleeding I must remember that.
"and also" she looked at me dead in the eye "you can't let anyone drink it if by any chance they do they not only attain immortality but also their wounds no matter how severe they might be will be healed but all of this comes with a price"
"death?" I asked her
she shook her head " that will be better"
huh.
"They will be bound to you Asu not only that they will also protect you from any harm, but they also will never die.
My body felt cold " you mean to say I am immortal?"
she nodded looking wary at me.
"and you are saying that they will also become like me?" it didn't make sense Celene didn't even know until now I had mixed feelings for one I was glad to never die but on the other hand I will be left alone to roam the world alone eventually that will get boring, tiring, and frustrating, I can't let anyone else be bound this way then it hit me " my brother? my dad?"
"they also are immortal my dear"
I let myself sink in the sofa tired " do they know?"
"no, but they might be suspecting it by now" She looked away
"why?" I pressed my temples
"the moment not the lock was broken your dad and brother were also affected"
"How exactly?" I insisted
"the exact details I am not sure off" she smiled apologetically
"Then I will be careful with all of this" I waved my arm
" Is been a long day how about you rest and we start training tomorrow?" she got up
" at night will do, the sooner we begin the better Celene doesn't like the fact that I am unprotected "I pointed out getting up as well
" okay" she smiled " I'll show you to your room"
she pulled me by the arm exited and led me upstairs " I decorated it I hope you like it!"
the ceiling had a glass chandelier that made the walls full of rainbows when the sun touched it the walls where white and blue roses painted on it had a canopy on it with blue silk curtains the furniture were all blue marble with vines all over the place that began to bloom as they did back at the cottage although this time is different they aren't just any flowers.
"it seems like we need to also work on that" she analyzed the vines about to touch them
"Don't" I warn as I touched a vine that was in full bloom " it will be wise if we begin on how to control this"
"yes" she was dazed by the vines
"Godmother" I tap her it the shoulder snapping her out of her trance
" they look" she shook her head "is there a problem with them?"
I coked my head to the side. She doesn't know.
" you'll see" I walked deeper into the room and into a double door that I assumed was the bathroom but I. Was.Dead.Wrong.
she squealed and jump up and down " do you like it?!"
surprised was cutting it short. What I open wasn't the bathroom but rather it was a walking closet.
"Yeah, I do" I was shaken by it but I honestly loved it.
"I figure you would prefer these over well you know"
I walked inside the room was filled with joggers, leggings, and oversize hoodies combat boots, crop tops, and fabric warm fabric but something is missing.
" is anything wrong?" she glanced in the direction my eyes were looking at
" I left it empty because I do not know what accessories you like" she cleared out
" ribbons" I smiled nostalgically " I wear ribbons"
her eyes went wide then soften with a small warm smile playing on her lips " then ribbons it is then" she waved her hand and ribbons from different colors appeared neatly stacked inside the glass table.
"I have been wearing them since I was young" I let out
she gasped pulling me to look at her, she was crying " your mother used to wear them a lot" she wiped her tears while she gave a small laugh full of emotion " you inherited her love for them" she waved her hand again replacing the ribbons with silk ones the same color of my eyes some had lace other's didn't they were plan but all of them had something embroider on them. A "p"
"they were your mother's I think it's time for them to be worn once more don't you think" her face was covered in tears.
the moment those words left her mouth my heart ached, I never knew why I was so fond of ribbons I thought it was a phase and that eventually, I will grow out of it but as time went by that didn't happen tears rolled down my eyes I didn't even notice them, it never crossed my mind that it will be because mom used to love them. I wiped away my tears but the more I did the more they fell I crouched on the floor and after a few seconds, I felt arms around me. I had a connection with her. "I'll treasure them" I whispered the stabbing pain in heartfelt worse I don't know how long it has been since I cried this way but at this moment I was thankful for having my godmother by my side she never let go of me. I woke up in a sudden jolt and noticed that I was alone in the room the sun was no longer up and the noise was coming from downstairs I rubbed my eyes feeling the sting, I must have fallen asleep while crying.
I stared at the double doors for a while before getting up and entering it I walked towards the ribbons and touched the one with lace it felt soft and the other's so silky smooth. I walked away from them getting a black pair of joggers and a white crop top, it was best to freshen up before the training. or at least That was what I wanted until I touched the water freezing it.
Celene snicker " Hold on"
I internally groan once it was de-frozen I managed to shower.
"thank you"
the smell of steaks and mashed potatoes along with gravy hit my nose as I got downstairs and saw the most delicious meal I didn't know I was starving until now.
godmother giggled " well good morning sleepy head, hungry?"
I blushed " I guess I was tired, yes!"
she laughed and motion me forward "then let's dig in"
when the juicy and still warm steak hit my tongue I couldn't help but moan at how delicious it was.
"It seems I pass" she beams happily
I shook my head unable to speak "Ish gwood"
She choked on her drink and began to cough " my goddess you will be the death of your mate"
I shrugged unable to understand, she just shook her head " you'll see"
" Ah" I managed to speak clearly now " whatever happened to my bag?"
She smiled " that," her eyes wander " it didn't have clothes if that is what you were asking"
I dropped my fork and knife "huh?"
She flashed a wicked smile and snap her fingers dropping the bag in front of us " it seems like your father and the Beta wished for you not to worry about anything"
I raised an eyebrow " what do you -
she unzipped the bag shock plaster on the clothes I had packed were now gone and replaced by stacks of money then I remember when I said my goodbyes " I WAS TRICK!"
"Mhm" she mused moving the fork side to side
" This is the second time" Celene roared with laughter.
