Page 61 of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha: Part 2

"The other gods were against Selene gifting such abilities to her wolves and so she had to compensate. Only a rare few would be born with special abilities and they would also be lacking in some other way. From what I know, they are always different, whether it’s a mute or blind or terminally ill. As time went by, these gifted wolves became less and less. Until we thought no more would be born. Well, until a few decades ago anyway… The whisper of Selene herself being reborn on earth drifted through the lands, An Alpha female, the first of her kind. But of course, these rumours were slightly off. Yes, your mother was special, but she was just the vessel for the next blessed wolf. You."

She took a deep breath, scowling. She seemed lost in thought for a moment before she looked back at us. As I tried to take in everything she said one thing came to my mind, and I looked at her curiously.

"What happened to the other wolf? The one who didn’t have a mate?" I asked.

She smiled slightly.

"Wise question. Selene did not create any more werewolves, but she blessed the she-wolf with a child. A child born from Selene’s blessing alone. When the woman birthed the child, it is said he was born with blazing eyes."

"A Lycan." I whispered in awe.

"Indeed. Now… The three werewolf families were like royalty, and unlike the lone Lycan who was feared and avoided, they lived a good life. Although Selene wanted her wolves to live in harmony, it was not meant to be. The Lycan grew up and became faster, smarter and stronger than the offspring of the other werewolves. Selene gifted the Lycan a mate from the Solaris bloodline. Seeing the Lycans' strength, the werewolves were not happy. Fearing what he would become they pleaded with Selene to not let him prosper. History says that his mate gave birth to a Lycan and that it was killed by the others. But if this were even true, there is no proof of it. Others say that Selene listened to the wolves and made sure that their children were all born as werewolves, albeit strong ones, and in this way he was given a place amongst the wolves. Or some say it was to make sure the Lycans did not become more powerful. One is born every few centuries to help regain order, but none have ever birthed another Lycan."

"So, what we get from this shit is; there were three werewolf packs, one lone Lycan - yeah, sounds fucking familiar - and then what? I mean, we’ve been here for a while, listening to a bedtime story. Can you at least tell us some shit that can actually help-"

I clamped my hand over his mouth, frowning at him.

"Can you not be so annoying?!" I hissed, feeling the witch’s growing annoyance.

"This is why I don’t associate myself with animals." She hissed resentfully. Alejandro gripped my wrist gently yet firmly as he lowered my hand.

"Watch it, wench." He hissed.

"I'm sorry on his behalf." I said gently.

"A fitting pair. One is tranquil like the river and the other is abrasive and dangerous like a storm." She said.

"Yeah, you haven't seen her enough to know she’s far from fucking calm." Alejandro said, glancing at me.

He wasn’t wrong… I simply looked at the witch.

"So why does Endora want me?" I asked the question that was still not answered.

"Why else? For your abilities. With someone like you in her grasp, she holds great power… Yet I wonder… I wonder if something else may be of more use to her…" She mumbled but it was as if she was speaking to herself.

"We captured a Wendigo and Kiara was able to reverse the progress. The rogue mentioned a king but that’s it, I know this witch is working with the rogues… but there’s more to it…" Alejandro said, a deep frown on his face. He looked up sharply at the witch, as if suddenly realising something.

The witch gave a small smile.

"So, you have figured it out."

88. A Debt Repaid

ALEJANDRO

The moment she said that the witch was helping the Rogue King, added to Kiara’s ability to reverse the transformation, a sudden fucking thought hit me.

"She’s using this so-called king, right?" I asked.

The woman nodded.

"Most likely, she is probably using the Rogue King to attain what she wants as well as placing all your attention on them. From what I know about Endora, she is an extremely cunning woman. One that knows what she wants and will do anything to attain it. She has, after all, been at this for years." The witch said darkly.

"So, theoretically speaking, this rogue fucker probably doesn't even know that she’s the one behind all these mutations?" I asked.

"I guess so, but only she would know the answer for sure, considering the manangal work for her. There are many spells to influence or cloud the mind. For all we know, the Rogue King may be under her control. I cannot say. Only Endora herself would know the answers. The blessed wolf’s blood is powerful and can be used for many spells. Just think what she could do… with all that blood at her disposal."

My hand tightened around Kiara's possessively, as I pulled her closer. Her heart raced as our eyes met. She was in a lot of danger, witches were fucking strong… The only thing that came to my mind was there was only one wolf who may actually be able to go against a witch… One that had abilities of her own and the only one that I never wanted to put out there. Kiara herself.
