87. The Beginning

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.

"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."
