The Unexpected Heir

Chapter 5: acting abilites and a present

Alpha Terrances. POV " terry"

i heard the receiver click and i knew her voice was gone. i begged her brother to tell her not to call unless it was an emergency. i knew if i heard her voice id come running i knew she was my mate but i wouldn't let what happened to her mother happen to her. she had been killed by rouges in front of her mate. and he was powerless to stop it. don't get me wrong i never thought that beta Gregory was weak in any way he was one of the strongest wolves i knew. but i knew i wanted to make sure that never happened to Mary. she was my every thing. my very breath depended on her being alive. her smile lit up entire continents, let alone rooms and she was so kind and caring. but a bad ass fighter when needed and those were all the qualities of a perfect luna.

i started packing again. Sweden was a long trip even from new york. i had to go see the council. maybe they had some ideas for me. on how to deal with this and then there was the issue with interrogating the prisoners.

i drug my bag out of the hotel i was in. and hailed a cab.

*****

it was late when i arrived in Sweden heading to the council chambers after calling an emergency meeting. only the oracle, the lycan queen and her son, and the vampiric prince was awake right now being as they were nocturnal. most of the other beings on the council weren't.

"good evening i wont pester you to long." i started.

"what has you calling on the council at this late hour terry?" the lycan prince asked. the queen was silent.

" one of the detainees from the red lightning pack. we seem to have hit a few snags on her heritage. i need permission to speak to the alphas we took into custody." i looked at him.

" why is that? just use your packs seer." the vampire rep said rubbing his face looking bored.

"i would but shes issued some sort of warning. who ever looks into her mothers side of the family burst into blue flames or something like that." all eyes snapped to me. that got their attention.

"She claims she doesn't know why. my betas sister is inclined to believe her. and shes expressed concern about making our seer try any way, as she feels like shes her adopted grandmother. i'm inclined to say i feel the same way."

" whats her name?" the lycan prince asked.

"according to Mary its Alexsandria Celeste Nephus. there's one other thing."i said. i had every one undivided attention except the vampire prince who was still looking bored.

" the bear we had in custody, we were going to transfer to the same prison. he managed to get out before it could happen. he attacked Mary." i said looking around the room.

" is the poor dear ok?" the queen asked. he hand on her chest.

"yes she fine your majesty. but hes dead, this girl killed him in Marys defense." i said looking at her i pulled a file out.

"did she say how she managed to take on a fully grown bear shifter and survive?" the lycan prince asked the oracle was strangely quiet.

"obviously, the girl has alpha blood in her. other wise they would both be dead and wed be looking at a very different report huh." the vampire prince stated staring at the ceiling.

" that's just it we don't know, the girl has no idea who her parents are but her story is....incredible to say the least so far." i stared at the folder in front of me. i had Mary fax it to me before i left the hotel. it had every thing the girl said in it. i slid it across the table right into the lycan princes grip. i waited patiently for the whole council to take turns reading it.

when the vampire prince looked through it. i watched as he slowly took and extreme interest.

"how reliable is your betas sister? do you trust her to be honest with you?" he said giving me a sharp look.

"are you implying that shes a liar?" i narrowed my eyes on him.

"not at all i just wanna make sure this isnt some elaborate plot to help this girl get revenge on her captors before the trial. i know the betas sister is your mate." he said narrowing his gaze back at me.

"HOW DARE YOU IMPLY-" i started yelling until the queen cleared her throat.

"very well you have permission to visit and interrogate the prisoners. under the understanding that my son will be joining you. and after you get the answers you seek you are to invite her here. i would very much like to meet her." she said smiling at me . then turning her head to the vampire prince.

"you should know better than to question his motives given how long his family has served us. i have never known terry to misjudge someones loyalty ever." the queen stated with a hard look like a parent scolding a child.

" my apologies majesty. i only wanted to check and make sure." he said in a bored tone again but i could tell by the glint in his eyes he was anything but. i bowed to the queen and the lycan prince got up from the table and followed me to the door.

" i look forward to meeting her in person"the vampire prince called out to me. i didn't even look back at him as i walked away. the other prince in close tow behind me.

*****

the trip to the mountains was a long 4 hour trip. hundreds of miles away from civilization. this prison was meant to house some of the most dangerous shifters and Fae in the whole world. i looked out the lifts window as we approached the high mountain entrance.

so hows Mary been other than the incident?"Mathias, the lycan prince asked me.

"i wouldn't know i haven't spoken to her other than that."

ill never understand you. why do you distance yourself from your mate when she cares so deeply for you and you her." he said a look of concern crossed his face. we got out of the lift, Mathias's handed a guard his credentials and led him to what seemed to be a metal podium. Mathias placed his hand on it and a sharp object came out and pierced his hand.

"you and your guest may enter, your majesty." he bowed and Mathias gave him a head nod.

we walked silently. for a moment.

"because when i figured out she was my mate i didn't feel strong enough to protect her. now i know i am and i'm still so nervous." i admitted.

"that's normal my friend.this is whats going to happen your going to go home see her and every bit of nervousness will just dissapear, or so i'm told." he said with a smile i was glad one of us thought so.he hadn't found his mate yet either, and he was eager.

"lets keep the mate chat to a minimum. i don't want these animals to hear about her." i said before the guard started leading us through the cell blocks.

we stopped in solitary confinement. the warden met us there.

"you boys should be aware of a few things. first of all these rooms are all sound proof which means they cant hear a word we are saying. second, he hasn't spoken to any one. other than asking questions about his 'treasure'. i wasn't sure how to answer them so i didn't. thirdly he has something on his left wrist we coudn't remove." he stated.

"what is that?"i asked.

"im not sure when i ask about it he tightens his left arm muscle and just laughs. seems to be some sort of gem and some cloth" he shrugged.

"very well open it up, Mathias, you wait out here. you can listen in if you want but if something happens then i want you out side of this cell."

" who is the prince here?" he asked smiling.

" more like whose head will roll if the unthinkable happens and he gets loose." i stated giving him a flat look.

"very well but ill be watching on the video feed."he said. turning around to follow the warden to the video feed room.

" very good." i said and waited for the buzzing noise. i came shortly after Mathias disappeared around the corner. i stepped inside.

"hello im alpha Terrence. i have some questions for you. and you will answer them."i simply stated he looked up at me from his bunk.

"ku ku ku, a big bad alpha. what did i do to ever deserve imprisonment i wonder." he said with a fake look of hurt on his face.

"i don't know, i didn't ask, i came to ask you some questions regarding one of your prisoners." he looked at me. smile gone.

"this is about my treasure?" he asked me.

"yes id like to know who her father is. im told you know that answer." i said crossing my arms over my chest.

"oh yes and it took an eternity to figure it out." he said smiling. i got the feeling he was enjoying all this cryptic talk.

" care to share one alpha to another?" i leaned forward. i had an idea. im going to play to his character and act like a kindred spirit. i knew about torture enough to appeal to his baser evil impulses. all i had to do was act like i enjoyed it.

"and why should i do that?" he asked with a raised eye brow.

"because between you and me she causing problems in my pack and i need to know how to gentle her down. other wise ill have to put her down."i said smiling.

"good luck nothing works on that girl. i have tried time and time again to kill her." he said waving his hand dismissively.

"tell me about your previous seer." his eyes snapped at me i allowed an evil glint to enter my eyes. his seemed to sparkle back almost like a response.

"she died painfully, excruciatingly, slowly. im almost positive it was her." he said never breaking eye contact. his smile was gone.

"why would she do that?" i said keeping mine on.

"i don't know, maybe shes afraid of people finding out who the b***h is. maybe she dont know and shes afraid to find out. all i know is my seer erupted into the same blue flames that cunt shoots from her fingers." he held up his hand and wiggled them as if to make a point.

"she said she tried to warn you -" i was interrupted.

"THE HELL SHE DID!" he yelled. he took a deep breath.

"what ever she claims i was not prepared for what i saw. and ever since then i knew i needed to kill her. for the betterment of the world just like my father knew." he said.

"oh so your a humanitarian huh?" i said looking disappointed.

"not even i a little bit. but if u had seen what i had seen you'd do the same." he stated.

"and what did you see?" i said giving him a look.

"Unfathomable power." his eyes seemed to look past mine.

"who is her father?" i asked smiling. once again it was making me sick to my stomach with how i was acting.

"you have heard of Fenrir?" he said. giving me a sideways glance.

"mythical beast child of Norse god Loki yea." i said rolling my eyes.

"that's her daddy." he said in a sing song voice the man was insane.

"that's not possible.hes a myth." i stated.

"i said the same thing at one point.did you wonder, why i had her bound in what i did?" he said c*****g his head to the side.

"yes actually it was my next question."

"that's because my father, before my time, was the original one who captured her. he listened to her warning about her mothers side. and only looked into her father. when he found out who she was the daughter of he went looking for any way to contain her. it took almost 200 years from him but he found where Fenrir was bound at and went searching for the red fabric of legend hoping it would also bind his daughter." he said with wide eyes."he never found Fenrir's body but he found the red fabric."

"And where was this fabric?"

"in a portal to Asgard. don't bother looking for it father said it collapsed once he came back through it. left most of his search team there when it did. i of course wanted to check to see if it was true and to my ever lasting heart break it was indeed collapsed." he gripped his chest smiling.

"heart break?" i asked.

" my mate was part of the search team, begged me to go. she wanted to protect her alpha but you know women. cant be told no, so i foolishly allowed it." he said i doubt he cared by the way hes talking.

"hmm and what would you and your father do to her?" i smiled, he smiled back.

"i take it she hasn't told you yet. given the state you found her in you can only guess." the biggest smile appeared on his face.

"that's true. i can only guess because shes reluctant to talk to any one at all." i smirked at him raising my eye brow.

"do you have a mate young alpha?"

"i do shes with her now."

"then ill give you my own warning keep her way from your mate. she has a bad habit of either getting those killed around her or killing them herself like she did with my mother." i froze that wasn't in the folder i showed the council.

i imagine ill never be leaving this place unless its to chop my head off. so ill tell you what," he said and lifted his left wrist up to my eye view. it was a piece of the red fabric. it had a red stone sewed into it.that glowed softly.

" this is a power stone it allows me control of whatever its attached to as long as its attached to my hand. ill give this to you. use it to control her."

" how? my beta unbound her already."

" you silly child, that fabric is wrapped around her heart."

"how did you manage that i wonder? our doctors couldn't even get a needle in her arm." i said very fascinated as the fabric unfurled itself from his wrist to mine. all on its own.

"simple when she was bound we found we could never bind her for long. but we did learn we could inflict wounds on her if she had it in contact with her skin. so i bound her a knocked her out and had a surgeon wrap some around her heart and sew it there. now it cant squeeze hard enough to kill her but it can make her very vulnerable.she will bend to your every whim."

"thank you for this fascinating tale. ill be sure to pass on your regards." i smiled and left the room. once out of ear shot. i sighed. i was sick to my stomach, how id love to go in there and rip him to shreds. the sadistic f**k.

"Mathias!" i yelled. he came running out of the video room looking a bit pale.

"you main mission is to find out who her mother is. and use your seer to make sure hes telling the truth about her father." he said" yes sir." i said. i was excited and nervous to go home. something wasn't adding up. Mary said the girl saved her so why did she kill the previous alphas mate?he looked up.

"i cant believe she could be the daughter of Fenrir, i thought he was a myth. hence why its called Norse mythology."

we started walking towards the exit.

i would get to the bottom of this.
