Chapter 151: Chapter 151
I looked at my grandfather wanting to rip his head off. I was tied up with a chain around my neck.
" Simple security measure. This chain prevents you from using all your powers whether they are alfe or lycan."
He spoke as I glared at him.
"When my mate arrives, you will pay for your misdeeds."
I spat in anger as my grandfather sneered.
" This is exactly what I want. He must come, then I will appropriate his incredible power."
I frowned.
" What?"
" The plan was that you conceive of his child then, your two energies would infuse the child and I could feed on your child at birth granting me your two forms of pheromones. But it's way too long to wait, so I'll eat you right here and now."
I lost my head. Eat us!? Does he talk about what I'm thinking? Isn't that cannibalism? I knew he was crazy but at this point.
"YOU…"
I haven't finished speaking when my mouth has been gagged, carrying me to a cell. If what my grandfather says is true, Greg must not come, he absolutely must not find me.
I was thrown into a cell and moaned at the pain in my body.
The cell door closed and I looked up to see a pregnant woman on the corner. She looked exhausted and I got up going over to her.
" Hello?"
She looked up at me before sighing.
"You must be Sophia? I heard about you from the guards. Master André has lost his mind. Doing that to his grandchild, ah it shouldn't surprise me after what he did to his daughter before."
I frowned. If I remember correctly, André is my grandfather's name, isn't it? So this woman if she calls the man master, she must be Shield of Rain.
"You are Shield of Rain."
The question was a bit silly considering her earlier sentence but I prefer to be certain.
She looked at me before smiling.
" I was... I tried to leave this damn pack before the worst happened but I was caught and now…"
She started shaking and I looked down at her belly.
"You are pregnant... I don't understand, your mate in the pack, where is he? Did you try to run away? But why?"
I bombarded the woman with questions and she sighed.
" I have never been marked by a lycan…"
She bit her lip.
" I fled before meeting my soulmate. I couldn't bear the atrocities of this pack any longer so I preferred to flee. It was in my escape that I met the most wonderful man that exists but by my fault, he finds himself in a mess"
I lowered my head. It was a bit my case too. Because of me, Greg is in danger and if he comes to save me, he is in greater danger.
I looked down at my hands before squeezing them. I had to do something to get myself out of there.
"How do we get out of here? Is there no way? My powers may be sealed but there has to be a way, right?"
I got up looking everywhere as the woman sighed.
"None, without our powers, we are powerless."
Then she chuckled.
"You're exactly like Sam. So intrepid and courageous, she was the model for all of us in the pack... Too bad she didn't have a worthy father."
I frowned.
"Say, you knew my mother, madam?"
She smiled.
"Madam is a bit too formal, don't you think? My name is Angie."
I nodded before waiting for Angie to speak again.
"Yes, I knew Sam. She was a true legend, the only alpha female to be born within the pack after so many centuries. She was the pride of all of Capital City. All men, pack alphas and omegas alike would kill for her to look at them."
Angie made herself comfortable smiling nostalgically.
" She was breathtakingly beautiful, with nothing to do with other alpha women. She was beautiful and delicate like an Omega and strong like an Alpha. All the men had been jostling behind her since she was a teenager."
Angie continued talking, noting that my mom was the one to pick up the slack from her dad. Sam, as everyone called her, was strong in character, she didn't give up so easily. Before she transitioned to adulthood, she had already been courted by several Alphas who desired her as Luna. She was the prism of perfection for all men, and it would be the first time an alpha pair had ever come together.
All Alphas wanted to be the first to create this mythos.
But Sam had kicked them all out. She often knew how to be unpredictable and arrogant towards them. She didn't care if it was a pack Alpha, if she had something to say to you, she did it without blemish.
I smiled, it doesn't match my memories of my mother. How stubborn she must be? I shook my head, continuing to listen.
"Your mother seemed not to be interested in males. Many wondered if she was not attracted to females, the most worried was your grandmother. Even though she was an alpha, she had to mate with a male and procreate. So your grandma started taking Sam to all the parties in town, so she could meet lycans and fall in love."
Angie sighed.
" This is where our misfortune began. The descent into the hell of the Shield of Rain."
This event had been organized by the Alpha of Soul Moon to present his son who had just turned seven. It was customary to present the future Alpha at seven years old to announce that the pack had a future.
Sam and his parents arrived before the announcement and when the Soul Moon Alpha laid eyes on Sam, despite her still being a child, he fell in love with her. He already had a Luna but it didn't seem to matter to her.
" I want her."
He had announced from start to finish in front of everyone while Luna and his son were at his side. He had walked in the middle of the crowd coming to stand in front of Sam before pressing their lips together humiliating his spouse in front of the whole town.
Sam's reaction was relentless as she gave him a monumental slap before exiting the banquet hall. The man could have been irritated by this slap but his obsession increased tenfold and he decided to make Sam his concubine. Luna's place was already occupied, so he decided to make Sam his lover. But it was not to the liking of Sam's father who saw in this a way to get his hands on the Soul Moon pack. They formed a Machiavellian plan to kill poor Luna who was already humiliated and belittled by her mate. Things didn't go as planned.
Now a widower, the Soul Moon Alpha claimed Sam but she rejected him, running away with a stranger. This caused the wrath of this arrogant man who decided to take revenge on the pack by destroying it.
I frowned.
" Yes, he killed my father and my mother finally."
I heard a gasp before turning to Angie who seemed lost.
"Who told you this kind of bullshit?"
I looked at the lost woman.
" Pardon?"
She shook her head.
"The Alpha of Soul Moon indeed had a grievance against your mother but he announced that he wanted her alive as well as the man who dared to take her possession. He wanted to punish them himself."
"But…"
Angie sighed before grabbing my shoulders.
" What I'm going to tell you now is the pure truth, Sophia. It wasn't the Soul Moon Alpha who killed your parents. I was there, I saw everything. On this day, while almost all the lycans in town, from different packs participated in the hunt, the Shield of Rain also participated. Your grandfather said we had to find Sam before the others. I thought it was to protect her because she was his daughter and the Soul Moon Alpha wanted to impose himself on her. But I was wrong, we tracked down Sam before the others, but she wasn't alone. Your father was also there and you were in your mother's arms."
Angie sighed.
Andre ordered everyone to put on balaclavas before giving us Soul Moon clothes. They said it was better that way because otherwise if others come and surprise us and discover the pack we belong to, we will be put to death. So we obediently obeyed but what André did next left us cold.
He attacked your father and killed him. But Sam was able to escape until a few months ago. André tracked her down to finish the job but before going after you because he planned to have you seduce the current Soul Moon Alpha and continue his plan from almost 20 years ago, an unknown man arrested them and sent them back here. But you came to them unexpectedly and they took over the plan as planned."
I was freezing, so that son of a bitch has killed my parents? And everyone in this damn pack knew that, even that filthy dog Jessy? He played me from the beginning to turn me against Greg.
Tears of rage and pain flowed from my eyes and I vowed to kill this person with my own hands. I will kill them I swear.
