KIARA
I gasped at that. So this was all… connected?
"Let’s start at the beginning." She said.
Neither of us spoke. Alejandro was frowning but I wasn’t sure if that revelation had even shocked him.
"Thousands of years ago when the gods roamed the earth-"
"That’s bullshit, gods didn’t fucking roam the damn earth."
I closed my eyes as Alejandro spoke up. Did the man not know how to stay quiet?
"Do you want to know or not?!" The witch hissed.
"Yeah, but that isn't fucking believable." He retorted.
"And humans turning into wolves is?" She snapped back.
I sighed, the urge to massage my temples growing.
"Ok, believable or not, can we just hear the story? Alejandro… please?" I asked, looking at him.
He gave me an unbothered look, his gaze dipping to my cleavage before he looked away.
"As I was saying, and I swear by Hecate herself! If you interrupt me one more time, I will not continue!" She said dangerously.
"Carry the fuck on then." Alejandro shot back.
They looked at each other with looks of pure hatred before the woman looked away.
"When the gods roamed the earth, living amongst us, Selene the moon goddess created the first werewolf by turning an ordinary wolf into a werewolf. She then went on to create seven more, in total four males and four females. She was very proud of her creation, who now lived in harmony. That was until two wolves fought over a female. In their anger and rage, one of the werewolves was murdered. When Selene saw what jealousy, love and anger could do, so she pardoned the wolf and created the mate bond under a blood moon. They say it is the reason that werewolves can only find their mate on a blood moon, because the bond itself was forged under it. Selene had made three pairs. Going onwards, these three were known as the start of three bloodlines, Asheton, Solaris and Deimos."
I listened quietly, taking in what she was saying. Thank the goddess that Alejandro had stayed quiet too. The witch frowned as she continued.
"She gifted each one of her three pair’s abilities. The Deimos had the ability of speed, to see the future, a sixth sense and the ability to foresee disaster. The Asheton had the ability to heal and the gift of moon fire. Then we have the Solaris, who was said to be gifted with the ability to control nature. Thanks to their abilities, their lands were fertile regardless of the weather or seasons, resulting in them becoming wealthy and prosperous."
I frowned, I could kind of sense when something wasn’t right but I couldn't explain it... but I thought I was from the Asheton bloodline…
"So those abilities are set in stone? Is it not possible for someone from the Asheton to have another ability?" I asked.
The witch smiled knowingly. Alejandro sighed.
"Kiara isn't only from the Asheton bloodline, is she?"
"Exactly."
I looked between them surprised.
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"It means, although your abilities are most prominently from the Asheton line, you indeed carry some Deimos blood in you also. I would assume your father does as well considering how strong he is. He comes from a line of very strong Alphas." The witch said, her sharp eyes boring into me.
"For someone who wants to stay alone, don’t you know a little too much about us?" Alejandro asked coldly.
"Of course, I must know. We are all just pawns of the gods." She said.
Alejandro and I exchanged looks as she frowned once more before she continued.
