Chapter 89: Chapter 89
I sighed getting out of the taxi to where I was to meet Jessy. The sky above my head was so dark and my chest was heavy with a dreadful feeling. I don't know if it was having to see my grandfather again that gave me this feeling of unease or the fact that he was the Alpha of Shield of Rain that gave me this fear in my stomach.
Yet I shouldn't feel that, indeed, our first meeting wasn't the warmest for a grandfather who was meeting his granddaughter for the first time, but that's not really what bothers me. In the act, it's because the man is hunted everywhere and frankly it may seem selfish but I do not want to be involved in that. Even if I am part of this pack by birth, I have no devotion to it, only my mother's last wishes push me to go see him otherwise I will have contented myself with my meetings with Jessy to find out what I want on my only real goal... the Alpha of Soul Moon.
I exhaled for a long time before walking towards the alley by which I was to be led to my grandfather. I walked over and saw Jessy standing there smoking a cig. He looked mischievous and I felt discomfort deep in my stomach feeling my wolf stir inside me like he was about to attack.
" Calm down."
I whispered but my wolf didn't seem to want to listen to me.
** I smell something strange about him... He's draining weird energy around him, it's so disgusting it makes me want to puke all my guts out**
I made a weird face.
" Uh, since you're in my body, it's my guts that you're going to reject."
I complained as my wolf spoke again.
**Sophia I'm serious, he gives off dark energy it looks like a bad mix of power...physically it would look like diarrhea**
Immediately the big insults.
" What do you mean?"
** All I can tell you is that the powers of creatures are unique between species, you can not in any case mix several in one person **
I frowned as I came up to Jessy's area. Could this be the new force he was talking about last time to the point of needing humans? Could this be the drug that Elsa and Rayan were talking about once in her office? These people who put the city of Capital City in danger, could it be a blow of Jessy and the Shield of Rain? I frowned, my DNA that I gave, helped in this macabre work.
I gulped feeling like I had screwed up but in my defense, Stacy was in danger and I didn't want her to get involved in that sort of thing.
" Hello pretty."
" Where is my grandfather?"
Jessy huffed at my tone before shrugging.
" Still mad at me it seems. I asked you for forgiveness, sweetie."
" I'm not your sweety.. now go straight to the point and tell me where my grandfather is."
Jessy sighed before handing me a phone.
" What is this?"
"The master had an unexpected business so he won't be able to come today."
" Is this a joke?"
That's all I have to do, I even got into a fight with my alpha about this encounter and now he's not coming? What is this bullshit?
"Fine, I'll go then...what a waste of time next time; tell him I won't be in the mood for his masquerades anymore. If he still hates me, there's no point in having meetings unless it was your idea to bring us closer."
Jessy smiled before shaking his head.
" As much as I love you, Sophia, I wouldn't dare take this kind of initiative. I promise you it was your grandfather who had this idea and if I'm handing you this phone it's because he's going to call you soon…"
At the same time, the phone rang and Jessy nodded telling me that it was my grandfather. I frowned slightly, I don't like this kind of situation but if I'm there, I can at least listen to what he has to say to me.
I took the cell phone, picking up the call before passing it to my ear.
"Yes?"
# Hello Sophia... This is your grandfather.
I would have guessed it, no need to remind me.
" Yes... So it seems that you changed your mind but still didn't want to see me face to face…"
# No ...listen, I wanted to see you but I was ambushed... The Soul Moon members discovered one of our hiding places and I had to ensure the safety of my pack. You can understand that right?"
I didn't answer, yes I could understand it but I don't want to talk about Soul Moons in general anymore, especially when the faces of Elsa, Rayan, and especially Paméla come back to me.
" Well, you did what you had to do... I'm here, what did you have to say to me?"
I heard a long sigh like a lament from the other side before my grandfather spoke again.
# I want to tell you about the injustice that the Shield of Rain has suffered for so many years.
I frowned as he proceeded to tell me a crazy story I couldn't believe.
According to the words of my grandfather, the pack of Shield of Rain was created in desperation by his father after the grandfather of the current Alpha of Soul Moon usurped the place which was to return to him at the head of Soul Moons.
" I don't understand…"
# Several decades ago, my father who was the son of the Alpha of Soul Moon was ousted from his position by the ancestor of the current Alpha of Soul Moon with the complicity of other greedy pack members. They formed a revolt and drove out the rightful Alpha Title family. We fled with our supporters and for them to stop persecuting us, my father had to give them proof that he no longer wanted to fight for his rights, hence the creation of the Shield of Rain. But we have not forgotten the betrayal of this family which once was subordinate to ours, we wanted to recover our heritage obtained centuries ago when the lycanthropes still extended their existence on the earth alongside other creatures. It is our ancestor's predecessors who created Alliance by signing agreements with the other great Clans, not these usurpers.
" It does not explain the current situation since you gave up your rights and the family of the current Alpha of Soul Moon had no more reasons to persecute you."
** And that's not the story my mother told me.**
# Indeed, when your mother was 16, the Alpha of Soul Moon fell in love with her. We saw an opportunity to take back what was stolen from us by having the future Alpha come from their heiress to the legitimate family but...
" My mother fell in love with my father and ruined your plans... In any case, you wanted to use my mother to satisfy your revenge without regard for her feelings. I can't say if your approach was right or not, but what I do know is that your plans caused the death of my parents."
# It's true, I was angry with my daughter, but it was the Soul Moon Alpha who, in revenge, killed your parents... It's not my fault. Like any father, I was angry but I would never have accepted the fate of my only child. It's no longer just to take Alpha's position that they stole from us, but I want to avenge your mother. You have to help us especially that as her daughter you are the one who should inherit the title of Alpha of Soul Moon.
Pardon?
