Elena was dumbfounded that the bottled water dropped from her hand.
She was speechless and her lips vibrated in fear.
"I knew it" He whispered moving toward her.
"I. I...." Elena stammered.
"You don't need to lie, I can hear your heartbeat"
She swallowed the saliva in her mouth.
"Your heart is gonna explode if you keep letting it go that way "He told her and squat, picking the pieces of the broken glass.
"So who's this Alpha of yours?"
"Rick ,please don't tell anyone that I'm a werewolf, don't tell mom and dad "
"Why should I leak out the secret of supernatural when I'm one too, you should wonder how I knew "
She slowly raised her head to see hairs all over his face and his fangs were visible.
"You're a werewolf" Elena whispered now finding her voice as she cleaned the tears in her eyes.
He nodded.
"I picked your scent back at school but I wasn't sure, picked again and had to see for myself"
"Are you gonna tell my mom"
"No, That's the last thing I'll ever think of doing"
"So tell me, who's your Alpha?"
"Um, you mean?" She asked.
"You know what I'm talking about"
"Can I trust you Rick? "
"I just kept your big secret, so yes, as you all know we all need an Alpha "
"Her name is Silvia"
"It can't be, I also had a friend too, months ago, Silvia, but she's dead though, Silvia Nicholas"
"Did you just say Silvia Nicholas?" Elena asked to be sure she heard well.
"Yeah, that's her name" He replied with a nod.
"Silvia Nicholas bite me"
"I guess that's a name coincidence"
"It's not, Silvia Nicholas is alive and her sister Maggie"
Rick stopped by the door and looked back slowly.
"How do you know their names?"
"They're my friends, Silvia attends Stardom High too"
"No, there are rumors that they're in Stardom but that can't be true " He was telling her when the door bell rang.
"I'll get that" She told him and he followed after her like he perceived something familiar.
Elena opened the door and was surprised by who she saw.
"Like seriously, what's your mission here?" She asked full of smiles.
"We're here to rip you apart"
"Will you let us in or we'll have to pass through you?"
Silvia wanted to go in but Maggie held her back.
"We'll be fine, by the way, who's that?, Is that the scent of a...."
Rick stepped out of the building and his eyes meet with that of Silvia.
They both froze, staring at each other and waiting for who to speak first.
"No, Rick?" Maggie asked.
"Rick?"
"Silvia, Maggie " He muttered.
Silvia pulled him close and tapped his back.
"You're alive"
"Yeah, I thought you were dead too, both of you "
Maggie smiled and tapped his shoulder gently.
"Where have you been?, And you're tall " Maggie told him.
"I believe this the Rick I normally beat up , he's now big" She hit his arm.
"Am I?, Managed to escape with a bullet on my knee, Ella was badly injured and had to take her.
Bullets all over her body and she wasn't healing, she was the last family I had and couldn't watch her die" He explained and tears dropped down his cheers.
"It's okay Rick, I lost my parents too and it was really painful" Silvia told him.
"I'll would love to see that red eyes of yours again, After stealing the powers of many Alpha " Maggie told him.
Hairs suddenly start appearing on his face and his fangs were visible but the color of his eyes were normal like human.
"You're an Omega, that's not possible "
" What's an omega? " Elena asked.
" What happened to your Alpha powers? " Silvia asked looking into face.
" I was coming to that, Ella was dying and I couldn't watch my blood sister die in my arms, one of the witches that stayed in the camp with us, went with us, she absorbed all my alpha power and converted it into health for Ella, she wasn't ready to but I made her to, the witch died in the process but it worked, Ella is alive "
" Ella is alive too " Silvia asked.
" Yeah, but back at Lyrem City, I heard there was an Alpha down and decided to find out who it was "
Silvia heaved.
" Elena told me you bite her, does that mean?? "
" Yes Rick, I'm an Alpha now"
"But you were a beta, how did it happen?, we hunted Alpha's together but you let me kill them and take their powers because your parents will find out we've been doing things if you took Alpha powers and they saw your eyes, have you resumed hunting of Alphas? "
"We don't do that anymore, Rick, It was a painful experience, when the hunters attacked, mom was hit by a silver bullet in her chest and she wouldn't survive it, she persuaded me to kill and take her powers so we could survive " Silvia sniffed in.
"I never wanted to but she begged me, not wanting to be killed by the hunters and I had to do it"
"It's okay Silvia, it wasn't your desire to do it "
"But it keeps hunting me that I killed my mother and I feel guilty for it"
"No, If you hadn't, the hunters would have done it and you wouldn't have been an Alpha, it's painful but it's for a better good " He assured her.
"Um, I'm lost here, where did you guys meet and what are you talking about? "
"Silvia was a good friend of mine, I was part of her Father's pack, Her father took my sister and I as family after the death of our parent and all went fine until the hunters attacked that faithful night, it was real bloody
" I think you're missing a part, what do you mean earlier by hunting Alphas?"
"That's not a story for you to hear, Elena" Maggie told her.
" So you've been in Lyrem City all these while " Elena changed the topic and he nodded.
"Are you guys related?" Silvia asked.
"Yeah, she's my wonderful cousin"
"Oh, So Rick you came just in time, some of my fathers beta are alive, they sent a letter and Um Jay died delivering it, they didn't specify their location but they're trying to find me"
"Was that why you returned back to Stardom ?" He asked.
"No, we actually came for vengeance, to kill anyone who threatens our existence again"
"That's bloody"
"What about Devina?, she should be able to help find them"
"Devina is dead, Rick, I'm sorry"
"Geez!,she was so innocent"
" So what do we do now?" Maggie asked.
" We got to find them, It'll be full moon tonight and not all of them had learnt control so it'll be at the advantage of the hunters " Silvia told them.
" So what are you suggesting? " Elena asked.
" I know a place in the woods where lost wolves take refuge but we have to move at evening, cops roam the at day, mostly the path we'll be taking, we got to move at evening probably when they're off the path "
"I should have thought of that all this while, It's gonna be dangerous, full moon, but we gotta do it "
"Remember this is also deadly mission as the hunters will be out too". Maggie added.
"Yeah, we have to be careful" Rick supported her.
"I'm going with you guys?" Elena announced and they turned to her.
"You're what?, no, you know nothing about the rules of engagement yet "
"Hey I can, okay?, you can call me 24 hour old wolf then 48 hour but the thing is, I think I'm good at this "
" You're going with us but make sure you stay behind, no pulling ahead, is that understood? " Silvia asked.
Elena nodded while Maggie frowned.
" Good "
