Alpha's Regret

Chapter 5

After waving a hand towards a loveseat, she went over and started a fire in the fireplace. Both men did as instructed and sat down together in silence. They waited for her to talk.

Once she was seated in a chair her gaze lingered on the flames. The crackling of the fire and the breaths coming out of their mouths were the only sounds besides heartbeats one could hear. The cool room was now turning warm and delightful. After about five minutes her gaze moved to both men.

" This is a long story. Shall I gather some water or tea?" She offered them.

" Water would be nice thank you," Micheal said politely.

She then looked towards Kingston and he nodded and agreed that he had no issue also drinking water. She gathered up three glasses of cold clear water. After she handed the two out she once more took her seat.

Her face took a sad demeanor. After she took the glass and took a small sip and set it down in front of her once more she was lost in thought. After a few minutes, she once more looked at her guests and gave a small smile.

" This story starts before I created the supernatural that roams the earth. Before the humans even knew how to band together. Tribes roamed and they often fought themselves. Lives were being lost by their own hands. Not willing to accept some people had different dreams or different skin. But deep down they were the same.

Then my brother unleashed demons onto the earth to also take from the humans. Their lives were falling fast. So I then decided to step up and bring man and beast together. Once I created all the were's I saw that we also needed to bless some humans with the use of small doses of magic.

But after doing such the demons were defeated to return to their home. the humans turned on their saviors and saw them as beings that would kill them or take over.

My sisters and I then erased the knowledge of supernatural beings from their memories. We even took the gift of magic from them.

But to be sure that both earthlings would grow we concluded that we would split souls and have two beings share it and be each other's other half.

I made the decree that my children would only seek their other half and that worked. I had created Omega's and women to be the birth givers. Alpha's and Beta's would strive to keep everyone safe.

Everyone prospered. But then the human way of thinking began to trickle in. How they viewed things like who your other half was began to tear apart mates. I tried to get it across to my children that if they kept walking away from their mates they would lose the ability to grow.

I should have sent more priests or priestesses to talk to the masses. But I had thought it would work itself out. Once you all seen the lower birth rates you would then begin to go back to the way things were meant to be.

But as I sat here hoping that you would figure out what was going on. My brother once more had his minions set out about the world. My biggest hope was on your father and his mate. So many others listened to him. But before I could do anything my brother cut down his mate. Changing how he viewed the world. He turned away from me and others followed. He felt I failed him by allowing his mate to die. I tried to regain favor by blessing him with you Kingston. But it seemed he now hated fated mates. Now having the view that if he could not have his then no one should have theirs.

So I think if I sent you both back to save his mate that it would bring things back around." She said and then took another sip of water. Her gaze looked hopeful.

Kingston thought about what she said. He still felt like she was holding back more information that they might need. But how can he gain that info without causing her to feel he was disrespecting her?
