The Alpha's Darkest Secret; His Daughter

The Truth

“Come on…we should get him on a bed for a bit.”, I said exhausted but knowing questions were going to come. We walked up the stairs, Jaime still aiding Rafa although I could tell he was feeling much better and made our way to my room down the hall. Besides my Father’s room, mine was the one of the largest in the house. The walls were white while the ceiling was black with white crown molding all around. There was a circular chandelier hanging down above my king-sized bed with a white square frame and back board. My furniture was all white and the walled had various black and white photos hanging up along with a collage of me and my friends on a board surrounded my lights. The main reason they tolerated being in here on normal days was because there was an 82-inch TV along with every gaming system you could imagine. There was a black couch that was covered in a white knitted blanket that Micah and David sat on while we placed Rafa on the bed to the right of them, on my white sheets may I add. Jaime took a seat in the gaming chair near my bed at my makeup vanity and they all watched me waiting for an explanation. 

“So…..”, I said trying to be funny

“EXPLAIN!”, Rafe yelled from the bed making me cringe. 

“Well, uhm.”, I began

“I am about to lose my s**t so start talking and I mean EVERY. THING.”, Jaime said.

“Okay just don’t let me talk and then you all can ask questions after…good?”, I ask timidly.

They all nodded in agreement. 

“So, I am a werewolf. SURPRISE! My Father is Alpha of the Crescendo Pack whose territory spreads from Homestead to about Aventura with about 45 wolves. Yes, as you can tell we don’t do well with Silver, fire and drowning can also kill us and anything too extreme, but we are also strong with heighted senses and speed. Yes we can create new wolves by bites, but they have to be a on the verge of death situation for the “magic” to even set in. But usually we are just born like in my case and the case of Andrew and Jared, the guys from Denny’s. Wolves can also halt the aging process, Ellis the doctor who fixed you up is around a century maybe older, my dad also. Full Moons have no effect only that for Rogue wolves its harder to stay in human form. Yes, Rogues, and no not all of them are bad they just like to be loners. Even though we are virtually immortal per say, we still are killed off whether that be by Hunters, other wolves or some grow so old their demons catch up to them and drive them insane. One day I will become Alpha when my Father steps down or if anything happens to him (deliberately leaving out if I get a mate that won’t may not happen). So, Alphas are Alphas and their Wives—mates seemed too much for now— are what we call a Luna. Together they make up the head of pack, then their Second, then Third. Hierarchy is a thing in our world and you respect those above you. Above all of us is the Marrok, the so-called Father of the Wolves because he is the oldest wolf in North America although he looks like he’s in his thirties. He decides who goes to who, who goes where, and who dies. Any bitten wolves are taught by him before they are let out into the world. What else? Well, about today, I guess. I’m pretty sure Yosef our waiter called them once he saw his bracelet had caused a reaction out of me. My dad has probably sent a clean-up crew already, and yes, we have connections. And to answer the question that you all asked me for years about my eyes, they are Amethyst possibly due to my mother and her Fae lineage, but she was a Wolf as well. Sadly, she did die as I said during my birth. Never lied about that part of my life. Caleb, my friend you guys have talked to, he’s also part of this pack and will become my Beta, while Andrew will be my Third. His girlfriend, Savina, is also a wolf if that means anything. Back to the fiasco of today, since the Fae have come out it’s given the nut jobs even more reason to dig back up to the surface of the Earth. The people we saw today besides maybe the one whose neck I slit, weren’t professionals or even close to some of those that we have fought before. They were newbies, or they were random people trying to start their own hunting party. Any how they’ve been taken care of, with…minimal… damage, sorry babe. I think that’s about all you need to know and can stand for today. If you want you all can stay, we have enough space, but I suggest you at least leave Rafa here tonight so we can check up on him. He will be completely healed by tomorrow I promise, like nothing happened. Just. Please as my friends. You can’t speak of this to anyone. With Fae out, and everyone going crazy it’s not something the world needs to know right now. I promise you I will explain so much more another time but please I’m begging you these people are my family, I don’t want them hurt.”, I ended my speech with the plea to my friends to just have some faith in me. I looked at them, all taking it in. I could see their minds going 1000 mph, but I couldn’t help them. This isn’t something you process in a couple hours. 

“How old are you?”, Micah question

I smiled knowing they must think I’m ancient. 

“I’m 22, just like you know. I was born not bitten an because of that I grow naturally of course but I can also stop aging at some point. Most wolves prefer to continue the aging process, especially if they don’t have anything to truly live for. But wolves are extremely hard to have children with. Life is balanced, the population doesn’t go over, we are still small enough to hide in the shadows.”, I concluded.

“How many people have you killed before?”, asked Jaime.

“I haven't killed any Humans or Fae. Vampires? One. Hunters? About 10. Other wolves? Three.”, I said with a straight face.

“Who was the Vampire?”, he asked.

“Three years ago, the day I smelled Rafa on her.”, I looked at Raf, another nickname, then. I continued, “You know who I speak of. The girl you slept with, remember her? Bri? She never left for North Florida, I executed her. She was some what a  friend yes but she was also a Vampire and a traitor. Yes, they are real too, but she used you, fool. She seduced you simply because you have AB+ blood and the fact that she was jealous. She was old, stuck in a teenage body, it finally got to her. She wanted one thing that I had, because she couldn’t have my aging, my family, my pack. Like I said, immortality isn’t also a blessing. So, I killed her. Simple as that”.

“You killed her out of jealousy?”, Rafa said dumfounded.

“I killed her because she planned to use you as a sheep and a s*x slave. Keep you in her house with all her other slaves to feed on as she pleased. Usually I don’t have a problem, every supernatural as their way of life but it was you. I protect you like family. Because you are family.”, I said my eyes probably glowing as my wolf was at the surface. 

She tried to take him…

My wolf whispered; angry.

She died for it. 

I responded.

“Wolves are still Primal. If they feel threatened, they will attack. But if it makes me you feel any better, her seethe was planning on executing her anyways. She was selling secrets to the Fae in exchange for a few of their powerful artifacts. I never cared for their kind but she was kind, but once all the evidence piled on top of her, something needed to be done. Her seducing you was the last straw, and trust me I smelled the magic on you. She did force you.”, I said justifying my actions. But truth be told I loved killing her. I reveled in the thought. 

“Look, there’s order to this world. Orilla, the Vampire Mistress happens to fawn over my Father and so we live in peace with her and her Seethe. My mother being Fae, we are left alone by the Fae around us. We all keep together in our secret world, and we all try to live with you all; Humans. It’s not perfect but it works.”

Their heartbeats were even, they were calm, analyzing what I said. Hopefully accepting it. 

“Anything else?”, I inquired

“Much more…. but it’s late. I want to go home; this is too much. Raf what are you going to do? You’re welcome to stay here and tell your folks you and Michah are staying over at my place. But Micah is staying, no need for him to go home to the house alone tonight I know your parents are out. “, Jaime said. 

“I will stay.”, Rafa said. Looking at me he said, “We need to talk”.

My heart fluttered at the thought of him staying. Wrong time, Wrong place I know. But I still couldn’t help it. 

“I know. Thank You. I’ll see you guys out.”
