"Brother, what's the problem?" Natasha asked but he just ignored everyone and went straight to his parents
"How many maids are currently available?" Nathan asked and they looked at each other
"Son, answer the question first" Marcus said sternly "What happened?"
"It's Sloane and Kenzie" Nathan said. It was clear he had just gotten dressed without drying or combing his hair, and rushed down; just like yesterday.
"What happened?" Rebecca asked and just then, two maids entered the room and Nathan looked at them
"One of you should take one pound of meat to Sloane's room. Don't open the door fully. If you do, she's rip your head off" Nathan said "And another one should head to my room with a towel and hot water. Clean Kenzie when you see her" he said and the two maids bowed before leaving
"What happened to them?" Cassandra asked seeing as Nathan had slightly calmed down
Nathan sighed "Even I don't understand what happened" he said "As soon as I woke up, I went to take a shower. That was when I heard your whole conversation and told you all to stop. Kenzie was already awake at the time and so was Sloane. When I came out from the shower, Kenzie's eyes had turned yellow" he said and they looked at him strangely
"But Mackenzie's a human" Rosco pointed out and Nathan shrugged
"Like I said. I don't get it either" Nathan said "I thought I was seeing things or I was still sleepy, so I planned to ignore it. But when I wanted to tell her to get up and take a shower, scales began to form on her face and hands and fur slowly started to cover up the scales. It was so strange and I felt like I had gone crazy so, I wanted to call Sloane, but when I opened her room door, she looked like she was growing in size and the-"
"Wait. Wait. Wait" Jerald interrupted "Mackenzie grew scales? And fur? Isn't that abnormal for a human?"
"Yeah. Thanks for pointing that out" Nathan said sarcastically
"And Sloane was growing bigger?" Alexa asked with widened eyes
"Look, it's been a strange morning for me. And if you'd like to confirm, we can stop at the two rooms" Nathan said
"I can guess that Sloane's probably going through her first voluntary shift or she's evolving to the size of Queen Alpha" Rebecca said "After the maid drops the meat, it's best to leave her alone so she can concentrate on her evolution or shift, without problem"
"Now that I think about it, Nathan, when was the last time to shifted?" Marcus asked
"Yesterday" Nathan answered
"Into a wolf?" Marcus asked again
"The time when Kenzie arrived" Nathan said
"Try shifting, now" Marcus said and Nathan raised an eyebrow before doing as told. But there was something different. It was as though, Nathan's size had increased by some inches and his fur had gotten a bit darker.
"Oh my" Rebecca let out "Is it me, or did you get bigger?" She asked and everyone nodded
"This size is the same as King Reese. The size of a King Alpha" Marcus mumbled as Nathan transformed back "It must be the work of the demon seed" he mumbled
"I don't even get what's going on again" Nathan let out "Ever since Sloane barged into my life, nothing has ever been normal" he said and his ears perked up which made him birdied leave the dinning
"Well, I've lost my appetite" Alexa said as she got up from her seat and followed Nathan. The others looked at each other before leaving their seats and following behind.
Due to the chaos going on in the mansion, Henry had to escort the Fallens and Priya to the western part of the settlement. It was one of the main parts of the southern wolf estate that had been expanded to accommodate them. However, Priya's mind was on something else
'They said Mackenzie and Sloane, right?' she thought 'Aren't those Scott's relatives? What on earth are they doing here?'
******
Nathan had led everyone to Sloane's room first. As soon as they got there, they could see the maid he had sent to drop the meat off at the room, missing a hand and seriously bleeding.
"I thought I told you not to enter inside" Nathan growled while trying to suppress his anger
"I was ordered to come in" The maid explained "My body moved on it's own"
"Use your wolf form to heal your injury faster" Nathan said "Then, get someone to clean up that room and get Sloane cleaned" he said as he stared at Sloane's room door before walking to his room with the others behind him. He opened the door and walked in to see the maid had almost finished cleaning Mackenzie
"Dad?" Mackenzie murmured as she looked at Nathan with teary eyes "What's happening to me?" she asked and Nathan shook his head
"Prince Nathan" the maid called out to Nathan and he looked at her. The maid was already done cleaning Mackenzie but her hands looked slightly burnt "Prince Nathan, her skin is....how am I meant to put this....as hot as the flames of hellfire" the maid said and everyone who heard it looked at her in shock before looking at her hands "Just touching it directly, can burn someone's hands. I've never come across a creature like her but she has a lot of magic power for her age" she said and Nathan walked towards Mackenzie and picked her up in his arms
"Doesn't that hurt?" Mackenzie asked with a scrunched up face
"I should be asking the person who's growing new body parts" Nathan said and he wasn't joking. Other than the scales and short fur that covered her arms, Mackenzie also had scales running along her back, on her legs and face while there were two bumps on her back and head. Her nails were turning black and the scales on her body had a gradient from white to black. Every bone on her body hurt and it was clear she was enduring.
"Where will you take her to?" Marcus asked
"To Dante" Nathan answered
"What of Louisa? Doesn't she know what Mackenzie's turning into?" Cassandra asked and he shook his head
"I already asked" Nathan said "According to her, she's only been alive for two thousand years. There are certain creatures she doesn't know. But, there are only few people who can give me answers; one of which is, Dante. Then, the Fairy Queen, the Spirit King, and the Demon King" he said before looking at Mackenzie "I don't really trust demons to give information without wanting something in return. Especially if that demon is a pure breed devil that rules over all demons"
"The spirit world huh?" Rebecca thought about it before sighing
"We're going there anyway for our training. Might as well go with some questions and requests" Clark said "I'll set the teleportation circle" he said and with that, she was off
"Dad...." Mackenzie called out
"What is it?" Nathan asked
"Something's coming out" Mackenzie said and Nathan frowned before dropping her and then, ripping sounds could be heard. As tearing out from Mackenzie's clothes, was a muscular tail that was being covered in scales
"What the hell?" Jerald screamed as Mackenzie's eyes glowed a brighter yellow
"We've gotta go now" Rosco said and when he turned around, Sloane was already there with worry written over her face.
"Quickly" Sloane said but unknowingly to her, she had activated her powers and everyone in the room, apart from Nathan's parents and the maid, had been teleported out of the room and were now standing in front of a shabby looking house.
When the group looked around, they found that they were in front of what was known as the spirit world gate, Dominantra. It still looked like the shabby house and the area was still the same. They checked to see if they were all complete and noticed that even Clark was with them but Sloane's eyes seemed blank as she fainted.
Alexa was fast enough to catch her and looked at her pale face
"Hurry" Alexa said and they all snapped out from their daze and were about to rush to the door when it suddenly opened and Dante walked out
"Took you long enough" Dante said but when he saw the condition of Sloane and Mackenzie, he sighed "It looks like you all had one rough and strange morning" he said with a smile before giving way for them to enter "Get your butts inside" he said and they rushed in and through the door while Dante shut the door behind him.
