RAID OF THE ALPHA

Chapter 3

Jason looked at his best friend puzzled. Then he heard his friend's voice loud and clear though his lips did not move.

"Who is this woman?"Jason looked at his friend more closely and said

"Did you say something?"

Andre shook his head "No".

"But you just asked me who this woman was". He said confused.

"No I just thought it."

The angel smiled and said.

"Werewolves can speak to each other with their minds."

"Come, a guide awaits you to educate you on matters which may arise later on. In the meantime your people want to meet you. Mind you they can't see me. Just you, your beta, your Luna and your bloodline."

"Sorry ma'am , but I don't know who my people are, why you call me alpha or why I am a wolf. Hell, I don't even know who you are or why you keep giving me that smile." Derulo was getting riled up. The angel smiled again angering Derulo even further. He was about to walk away so he could control his temper again when she said. " patience my alpha ." Your story is a long one and I suggest you and your friend come into your house. The guide has a lot to say to you and everything indirectly concerns your friend because he is bound to you forever, don't worry, you will understand soon. But as a preamble , you want to know who I am right? That's easy you ought to have noticed by now. But considering you were not raised in our ways, I am the moon goddess."

"My house? I've been here and I have no connection to this place. How the freaking hell can I have a house?"

"Come, I say". She said quite sternly and so they followed her and entered a huge palace. It's doors beheld the image of the moon goddess and it's floors were glittering with rough tiles. Immediately they entered , the moon goddess said. "I have to go, but don't worry I've got your back." Then she smiled again and disappeared.

**********************

Derulo and Andre looked around. People milled around doing some cleaning or brushing or tiding. The place looked beautiful. At the end of the hall, sat a huge throne made out of pure diamonds. As he and his friend admired the place , an elderly man walked up to them and said

"Ah, master Alpha, greetings, I believe you have come of age. I am Sage Raymond, the messenger of the moon goddess. For short, I am a seer."

"Hey, Omega." One of the young girls cleaning immediately walked up to him.

"Get three chairs". She moved and soon they where sorted.

" Derulo, am I right?"

"Yes sir." Derulo wondered how the man knew his name.

" How I know your name?, I just told you, that I'm a seer, I can read minds."

Again, Derulo wondered how he read his thoughts. His mind was read again "The only thing you seem to be good at is working and exploding chemicals. For goodness sake boy, I just told you that I read minds." Sage Raymond said obviously annoyed " Your father was wiser than this you know, you have to do better." At this Derulo became attentive.

"You knew my father?"

"Your father was our master Alpha. Alpha Jamie, peace unto his soul, had been a great leader. He kept the vampires and their shaleans at bay. But unfortunately, after losing his lung, he slowly deteriorated and died of heart break. Since then we have had attacks as the vampires still hold your mother captive and want to take over cracia."

" My father told me that my mother left us."

"True, but she did that to protect your lives. She was the one that saved you nine years ago when you foolishly mixed chemicals in a poorly lit laboratory. What were you thinking?"

"Um, well....I...um..I wasn't paying close attention to the reaction." Derulo looked at his friend for help only to find him trying to stifle his laugh with coughing. Unfortunately, the seer was not yet done with him.

"I know, you never pay attention. The first time you changed into a wolf, you were busy being fascinated with the changes of your body."

"What's wrong with that?"

"O nothing, just that you nearly caused an earthquake with your uncontrolled transformation, foolish boy. I served your father and he did not cause me so much headache."

The man seemed to take Derulo as a son. A son who had erred to be exact.

"And you". He said turning to Andre

"You are quite special, you will take over from me when I leave. But you are weak! Too weak for my taste. But for now, why don't you both come for a fatherly hug."

They looked at each other, afraid to say anything and then moved slowly towards him. He hugged them tightly in a fatherly bear hug. They smiled and as the hug was over, they pulled back, but he got hold of their ears and pulled it hard.

"Argggh."

"Excellent!,that feels good. Being that you are both full and half orphans, from now on, you will call me father or dad. It is an order."

They chorused "yes sir"

He nodded.

"Good. Now sit back as I recount the history of Cracia, vampires and of course Derulo."

So they both relaxed and listened. He took a deep breath and began,

"It all began in .............
