Wyatt…
"Here comes my big brother!!" Sloane enthusiastically smiled with her arms open to embrace me and I couldn't help but smile. Everyone had always said she was the only person I cared about. Well, they ain't lying. Growing up, she was the closest person to me. We're 6 years apart. We spend most of the time together, part of me sometimes babysitting her when our parents were always busy with the park issues….
Hold up, guys...(Let me tell you about Wyatt Levi Christopher).
*The 28-year-old is the present Alpha of the Blue Moon pack. He has been since he clocked 18. He took over from his father, Brian Theo Christopher. Brian and Riley have just Wyatt and Sloane. Wyatt grew up to be a fine young man who gets attention from both genders due to his looks and strength, and he also is the most feared Alpha In the whole of the werewolf world despite being the second strongest Alpha. Something about him scares everyone off, including his parents*
*He's stone cold, Evil, Ruthless, Strong, and powerful, he's the only Alpha in the history of werewolves that was born with the gift of prognostication or better put, a fortune teller. He can foresee the future and he isn't a witch if that's what you're thinking. He started noticing this about him at the age of 6 but no one took him seriously until the day everything became glaring*
*At 8 years old. He has foreseen an attack coming from the rogues. He told his parents about it, the exact day and time but they didn't take him seriously until they were attached unprepared where he lost both his maternal grandparents*
*It's considered a gift, a blessing because he could see the future but in truth, it was a curse placed on him by the moon goddess. He could tell what would happen in the many years to come, the same as his life. The truth about the curse is yet to be unraveled but a witch he met about 5 years ago told him that the curse placed on him was for his own good, and he would find out someday. In the witch's words, "You're cursed. A curse that was placed on you for a reason and hopefully you find out why before this fire you're creating consumes you*
*Alpha Wyatt is known to be ruthless and has no regard for anyone, not even his parents. Every living thing bows and shivers at the mention of his name. He's so powerful that even when a human comes in contact with him, they feel the Aura. They feel the heat and the power radiating from him…but amidst all these, the only person he can be soft with is Sloane, his sister, but difficult when he has to. Wyatt is also the only Alpha that has seen the moon goddess. She has appeared to him a couple of times in the dream even if they never spoke to each other*
...
"I miss you brother" My sister whined which only made me snort at her while she giggled.
"Well, the last I checked, we are still part of the family," My mom said with a soft smile which only caused me to roll my eyes, and my cheerful demeanor had changed to that of an unreadable one...
"Mother! Father!" I said, disengaging myself from Sloane, sitting on one of the sofa.
"How are you, son?" My mom asked. We might not have the good mother and son relationship for a while now but she cares for me so much that she's always on edge despite she's aware of how powerful I am but I can't help it. I can't bring myself to forget the way she looked at me years back like a deranged person when she found out about this damn curse on me.
"Fine" I simply replied.
"We heard about the rogue who cut across our border," My father said. Okay a quick one about this man sitting right in front of me, I've never seen a wolf that loves his mate like him. They're practically in each other's breath….but it was so unfortunate that I never felt the love. He never showed me he loved me. He's always strict on me. Always busy when I needed to talk to him as my father and not the Alpha.
"Yes. There was" I replied.
"I learned it's a she" my mother chipped in and I responded with…"Hmmm"
"That is interesting" Sloane chipped in….."What does she look like? Is she dead yet? She asked further but now, I'm fuming. My Wolf is screaming in my head. I know My parents saw how my claws were beginning to elongate slowly while digging into my lap. I was only able to control myself when I felt Sloane's hands on my hands that were turning white.
"Who is she? She asked calmly, hoping she didn't aggravate me anymore, you see why I love her? She has been there since she was even little when I had to babysit her.
"A nobody" I replied coldly, releasing my hand from hers gently. Standing to my feet.
"I'm sure My cook has made something for you all. I'll be out" I told them with a Straight face and turned to leave but my sister held my hands with her soft hands. The hands that haven't been to war. I've always made sure she's protected and doesn't face the gruesome life out there. Unlike my hard palm that has killed, strangled, torn apart heads, and fought wars. Sloane is the only person I would die protecting.
"Staying out long?" She asked but I relaxed before replying to her else I might end up using my Alpha voice to scare her.
"Go home to your mate, Sloane. That fool is dying to have you in his arms" I said calmly and she chuckled lightly before letting my hand go….." Text me when you get home, will you?" She asked with a pitiful face and I nodded…" Hmm" before sparing my worried and scared parents one last glance and I left.
