Their Switched Wolves

The Great Wizard

Melanie POV

Jacob told me that Alpha Lucas had left a phone in Kayla's room so that she could communicate if she had any problems.

So I asked her number to call. I need to talk to Kayla and fast.

"Yes?" I heard her voice and mine cracked.

"I... I... I... We need to talk!" I can´t avoid all this pain, the shame. I need her to know the truth, and i also need to be the one telling her this.

"Melanie! What happened?" Her voice shows her worries. "Do you want me to come to you?" She asks me.

My voice breaks... "No. No. Nobody can be near me right now, just Jacob. It´s not safe. I´m in chaos." I´m sobbing like a little child, but I´m broken. I´m really broken.

"Kayla, I need to tell you something... Can you, please, hear me without interrupting?" My need to spit it all is huge and i don´t want to lose track of my thoughts and words. This is hard enough to deal with.

"Sure, honey." Her sweet voice makes me sob more. How can I tell her this? She doesn´t deserve any of this.

I inhaled Jacob's scent, and i let him hug me. He is the one able to calm me even a little. I don´t have anyone in my life anymore, just him and Kayla.

"When I was still a child, my father, The Great Wizard, decided that I should learn from the best Witches and Wizards in our Coven. Although we all belong to the same Coven, most are not based in the vicinity of it. Many witches and wizards are scattered throughout the world. My father chose a group that he considered to be composed of the best, of the best, and sent me to them so that I could learn as much as I could from each of them." I started with the beginning of my story. Jacob´s hold is giving me the strength to continue.

"My father wanted me to learn as much as I could and that when I reached the right age, 18, I would go to him to train me as his future replacement. The Great Wizard is none other than the top position in my Coven, it´s the top of knowledge. My father is the most powerful wizard in the world, not only for his position but for the knowledge he has." I told her this, even though she already knew. Natalie told her some years ago.

"During the time I was away, I discovered that I had other powers in me, natural powers, that came without me having to cast incantations or spells. Many of my mentors thought it was due to the energetic power I inherited from my father, but they never questioned it. These powers became stronger and stronger and my union with nature also became closer, as if it were a part of me. These powers always enchanted me and it was these that I tried to explore further, but alone. None of my mentors could help me, because none possessed them as I did. Natalie advised me to hide them from my father. She said it would be for my safety." I signed deeply and, continued my tale, the tale of my life. Talking about Natalie makes me sad. She was the closest I had as a mother. She was so kind to me and Kayla. Now i know how she tried to protect me, but I didn´t listen to her words as the one I should follow.

"When I turned 18, I returned to my Coven, and, of course, I forgot Natalie's advice. My father discovered my powers. The look on his face was one of pure hatred. My body almost lost its strength just from the look in his eyes." See, I was happy because I was with my father finally. I wanted to feel his love and how it is to be loved by a father. His outburst broke me when he saw what I could do, and for the first time, I got scared for my life. I really was, and the person scaring me was my own father. The one who should protect me and love me.

"A f*****g Fae! Just like your mother!" he shouted in my ears. My mother was a fae? I always thought she was a witch. "I'll kill you! A Witch cannot be a Fae. They are our enemies!" His arm knocked down all the papers that were on his desk. The countertops with ingredients shook, as he threw them on the floor.

"I'll kill you and all your kind!" He kept yelling at me, with so much rage. He tried to grab me by force, so i ran, using some spells... Since then, I have started to be chased by rogues. I don't know why, but I always felt it was my father's doings. But today, today I'm sure it's him chasing me."

"Oh Melanie, I´m so sorry! We will protect you, you will have our help and love!" Kayla tried to show her support in a caring way.

"I couldn't find anything in the books about the spell that Natalie put on you. I knew that maybe the only place where I could find the information was in my father's office".

"You said you knew... does that mean you were there? You're crazy!" She yelled at me.

"Yes, I did. I cast two spells, one that allowed me to enter and one that allowed me to be undetectable for a few minutes." The truth is I´m powerful too, a broken one, but i have the knowledge to fool my father, even for a short time.

"Why? Your life is too valuable to take that risk." I could hear hard breaths. She is nervous and scared.

"Because I wanted to help you. You are like a sister, besides Jacob, the only person I feel close to." I deeply care about her. She was my childhood friend, the one who accepted me for who I am. I don´t have any more friends.

"Melanie, but I don't want you to help me by putting your life at risk," Kayla tells me and I know her words are sincere, she is one of the most selfless people I know. But I have to continue the story.

"When I arrived, my father's desk was full of architectural blueprints. I was curious and found out that ram plants from the Kingdom, from the Kingdom of the Werewolves, your Kingdom." It was all scattered around, along with plans, and some printed emails. My curiosity was piqued and I wanted to see what he was involved in. I did not expect such a malicious and twisted mind. The power went to his head.

"What? Why?" She is confused and i can understand why. She never met my father, and neither did Leon, not that i know of. They, Leon and Kayla, are all pieces in this sick game. The pieces he must play to conquer his evil dreams.

"Because my father, Faustus Morgan, The Great Wizard, orchestrated the taking of the Kingdom!" I finally told her the truth.

Kayla says nothing, my heart is failing some beatings. I´m so ashamed of my father. How can he do something like this to her, to her Kingdom, to all packs and Werewolves? To all supernatural worlds?

"But the new King is a werewolf! How?" I can understand her doubts. If I didn´t see it with my own eyes i wouldn´t believe it.

"Dean Rupert is a puppet!" I don´t know exactly why this werewolf is working with my father, and he gains by that. But he has another evil soul in him.

"The new King's name is Jaime. How come? Dean Rupert the King of Mercenaries?" Kayla asks in her confused state.

"Dean and Jaime are the same. Dean is human, Jaime is a werewolf." I met this werewolf before. He is a very dangerous one.

"Oh! Why? Do you know why?" Kayla wanted the same answers i wanted when i went through my father's documents.

"They want to conquer the supernatural world. They will destroy the Fae kind, and they will try to conquer the Vampire Kingdom too, but that is later." Their plan is an ambitious one, but they have all figured it out. These plans have years. They have been working together for years.

"We can´t let them do it! We have to find allies and fight! This is not about Leon, or even me, this is about well-being of all kinds. " The determination Kayla has and the way she thinks about the whole thing, forgetting her own problems, is the way a true queen thinks. One day the world will see why she is their Queen. Their true Queen.

"I wasted so much time with the plans that I lost track of time. I narrowly missed being caught and obviously didn't get the recipe for the antidote. Sorry." I wanted to look for it, but i didn´t have time to do it without being in danger. My father sensed me, and he reached there when i left. One more minute and he would catch me there.

"We have to tell Alice and Lu... Alpha Lucas." Kayla tells me in an anxious voice. Probably she has all her thoughts running wild in her mind. It´s a lot to process.

"I wanted to tell you first. Kayla, there's still something else..."

"More?"

"All of my father's plans ended in Leon's death and included you alive. My father wants you alive." I told her.

"Me? Why me? I had never met him before." Natalie never told her the truth about her. Now is not the time for it, but I´ll tell her as soon as we have all this figured out.
