The Alpha And His Beautiful Monster - Chapter 116
Victoria’s POV
“Victoria, don’t!” I heard my mom say when I unexpectedly raised my hand while they were glowing, and I could feel the electricity flowing in my veins. I knew something was going on with me as I watched the black wolf with fury in my eyes, but his black eyes were looking at me with tenderness. I wanted to charge him because of what he had done to my friend, and I know one of his men is responsible for killing Tim, and he requested to bring havoc to our school.
But my hands were suspended in the air while I could feel a strong force stopping me from doing what I wanted, and when I looked at my mother, I realized she was using her magic on me, and no matter how I tried to move my body, I can’t, and it feels like my feet are glued on the ground.
I looked at my mom, and she descended on the ground, I wondered why she was flying, and I didn’t see any wings on her back. Then she moved closer to the black wolf, and my eyes were looking at my mom and the wild beast, and I wondered where my father was, and I wished Oliver was with me at this moment.
“Victoria, your father and I knew that you wanted to unfold the mystery of your existence, and you hated us for keeping your identity secret from you, and I want to take this opportunity to tell you everything, and it should begin from who we are.” My mom said, and I could tell she also suppressed my ability to speak because no matter how I wanted to open my mouth and talk to her, I couldn’t do it, and it felt like she paralyzed my entire frame.
“Mom, how could you allow this monster to get inside Oliver’s house? Didn’t you know he is very dangerous? How many innocent lives did the black wolf kill to gain more power and immortality.” I said through my mom’s head since I couldn’t communicate with her through my mouth, and I could see the pain on my mom’s face.
“Victoria, he is your father,” Mom said in more tha a whisper.
“What???” I asked, shocked, and I wished I had heard my mom wrong.
“The black wolf standing in front of you is no other than your father, and then my dad suddenly changed into his human form, and I wanted to cover my eyes, but I became more stunned when he appeared in front of me in his human shape fully cloth, and it seems like my parents have a lot of explaining to do.
I am still looking at my dad, unable to believe what I have witnessed; how could he shift without worrying where to hide since he was not naked after he turned back into his human form. While I was always naked, every time I go back to my human form, and Oliver and Trixie told me the same thing, werewolves will always end up naked, and I could tell that is part of the curse of being a werewolf.
“Your mother is telling you I am a black wolf, Victoria, and it would help if you relaxed since I wasn’t the man behind Tim’s death.” My dad said.
“How about killing and consuming the flesh of your fellow hybrids?” I asked, and my father shook his head.
“I am not a hybrid, Victoria; I am under a strong curse.” He said, and I became more confused.
“I fell in love with a fairy, and when I turned her into one of us, her mother, one of the strongest fairies in their world, cursed me because your mother became an outcast to her world.” My dad said, and I raised my eyebrows.
“Why do I hear her parents are werewolves?”I asked.
“Well, your mother needs to pretend she is one of us because the council will never accept her; our kind doesn’t want to welcome hybrids, either a fairy or mage,” Dad replied.
“So, mom, is not the girl you should marry?” I asked again.
“Well, when my supposed to be mate died during an encounter, that is the time your mother took her chance, and she used her identity, and she became Zafirah,” Dad responded.
“How about mom’s face?” I asked.
“She only used a glamour, Victoria, but the face you see is your mom’s original face and not the original Zafirah; your mother only allowed a few people to see her true self, the original Zafirah is also beautiful, and she died protecting me, and I owe her my second life, but it was your mom who saved me from our enemies.” My dad explained.
“How about my face? They said I look exactly like mom, and how come we have the same face?” I asked, and I became more confused with what was happening in my life. All I know is I was a human, and then I became a werewolf, then the time I used unusual magic, Oliver thought I was a hybrid, and now I am part Fae.
“Well, as the time goes by, your mother started to stop using glamour, and instead, she used her original face with the help of her power; the werewolves have forgotten the original face of Zafirah, and all they can remember now is your mom’s original face.” He answered.
“What kind of curse are you suffering, dad?” I asked.
“Your grandmother turned me into a black wolf, including my offspring.” He said, and my eyes got so big.
“You mean, including me?” I asked, and my father nodded his head.
“But I am a grey wolf, dad,” I answered.
“Yes, you are because that is the original color of our fur, but because of the curse your mom’s mother put into me, your fur is also black. Your mother used a spell to make our fur look like grey, and without your mother’s spell, we will be considered an enemy of the werewolves even if we belonged to them.” My father declared.
“And that is the reason we always stay away from Zenith, and we are not attending any business conference, Victoria; the truth is your father needed to hide because every time there is a moon, even if it is not the full moon, his fur will turn into black, and I couldn’t believe my spell was wearing off since I give birth to you, and no matter how we wanted to stay with you we can’t because your dad will suddenly changed into his wolf form.” My mom said.
“But who is the black wolf who loves war?” I asked.
“Roligo is real, Victoria, and that is why my mom took his identity, and she wanted to make your father suffer until the day he will die.” My mother said.
“But your mom did her best to keep me safe from the day your grandmother put a curse into me until now,” my father said.
“But after your eighteenth birthday, it seems like the curse became stronger, for how many times your father suddenly shifted without his knowledge and he ends up into a black wolf, and I tried my best to conceal his black fur by using a spell, but I could tell it is not working.” My mother said while I could feel the worries in her voice.
“So dad’s life is in danger?” I asked, and my mom nodded her head, and all the hatred I felt for
my parents disappeared, and I wanted to know what happened why my mother came into our world.
I couldn’t stop myself from feeling so excited about learning my fairy magic, but the idea that the council will charge my father treason once they will find out he is a black wolf made me so worried because they will assume he was behind killing of hybrids and innocent humans. My dad couldn’t defend himself because he couldn’t tell them my mom was a fairy. After all, it would be another violation of werewolf codes.
And then I was terrified when the realization hit me, there was a possibility that the same thing would happen to me, and I couldn’t stop myself from feeling so anxious about what was going on with my once peaceful life and how I wish I didn’t turn eighteen because all these happens after I became an adult.
“How about me, mom? Is the curse would be the same? What if I will turn into a black wolf the next time I will shift?” I asked.
“Yeah, that is why we are here, even if I know it would be too risky to travel because there is a chance your father will suddenly turn into a black wolf, but we need to keep you safe, and I felt so glad my magic worked.” My mom responded.
“I will teach you how to use glamour, and you need to tell Oliver the truth,” my mom said.
“What if he will turn me over to the council?” I asked, and I could feel my legs are trembling, and I looked at my father when I heard his laughter.
“Victoria, Oliver is your mate, and you should know by now that he imprinted with you, and you are basically connected to each other body and soul.” My father said, and I looked at him in the eyes, and then my father walked closer to me.
“I am so sorry, Victoria, I failed you. I know how many times I hurt you, but I want you to know, I don’t want to leave you or keep these things hidden from you, but I don’t want you to grow up with too much on your shoulders; you needed to grow, and enjoy your life like a normal teenager, and I don’t want you to worry about the curse at an early age.” My dad said as he cupped my face.
“I love you so much, Victoria, and I will never let them hurt you, and remember you are powerful, and your mother will train and educate you about your fairy magic, while Oliver will help you with your wolf strength, all you need to do is to be strong, my dear.” My father added.
“Don’t worry, dad, I needed to be strong, so I could also protect you and mom,” I said, and I was surprised when I realized I could finally move my body now, and I could also speak with my mouth.
“I know there are so many things you need to know, Victoria, but we only have little time,” My mom said as she looked at me.
“Don’t worry, mom, and we will utilize the time we have,” I responded, and I could see the proud smile on my mother’s face, which made me grin.. I knew I needed to pretend I was strong, and I was okay even if my mind was in chaos because I needed to face the reality that I am different from everyone else.
