Chapter 241: I AM ONE OF THEM!

Chapter 241 I AM ONE OF THEM!

Haven felt her breath hitch in her throat for a second there. Her whole head spun and she had a hard time breathing because of all this. Hearing these people talk like this and seeing the contempt on their faces… No, it can’t b possible.

“ They are responsible for the extermination of a whole lot of creatures during the war. They killed thousands of our kind. They sapped all of their essence and left them to die or even killed them once they were done. They are the most ruthless creatures to have walked this planet. Everything was ruined because of them.”

“ That- that can’t be true.” She stuttered not wanting to believe it. She couldn’t bring herself to

“ They selfishly destroyed lives just for their greed.” Katie shook her head. “ They got what they wanted at the end, didn’t they?”

“ What are you saying…” Haven’s head was still reeling. All of this was too much for her to handle.

“ Power of course!” It was Kace who answered. “ They got so much power that became the rulers of the other realm. No other creature dared to challenge them. No one stood a chance against them!”

Haven’s head reeled because of all the accusations. How can these people say such horrible things about her own people?

“ You people have no idea what you’re talking about. They are not like that! Why are you making them out to be some sort of inhumane killing machines?” She felt wronged. Yes there might be a few bad eggs among the werewolves, especially those horrible rogues but that doesn’t mean the entire kind was bad.

“ You don’t even know anything about the werewolves, so who are you to talk about them like that? Huh?”

“ Oh so do you know anything about them then?” Kace raised a brow at her. “ You surely know nothing yet here you are defending those inhumane barking dogs—”

“ Enough! Don’t you say anything more about them!” Haven’s fits clenched as she glared at the both of them..” You don’t know anything so you have no right to say such things! And yes, I will surely defend them because they’re my people!”

At this point, both Kace and Katie were staring at her like someone who’s gone mad. Did they think she was joking or something?

“ What do you mean by people? How are they your people? Do you know any werewolf?”

“ Yes I do. I’m even mated to —”

“ For the Goddess’ sake” Kace interrupted “ Why do you keep saying that word over and over again? We don’t use such a thing here!”

“ But it is true!” Haven was frustrated now. These people were really driving her crazy. “ I am mated to one.”

“ I think you hit your head or something. Or maybe the desert actually messed with your head. It explains why you’re like .. like this.” Katie gestured towards Haven’s whole self. She picked up a glass of water besides her. “ I think you should try to sleep and cool your head, maybe you’ll be back to normal once you wake up again.”

Haven scoffed hearing this. Was this woman kidding her right now?

“ Seriously? Why are you guys finding it hard to believe what I’m saying—”

“ Because you sound like you’ve lost it—”

“ I AM LUCIOUS’ MATE!!” Haven screeched tired of hearing all their nonsense. “ I am his mate! And I’m a werewolf myself!!”

The glass in Katie hands fell to the ground, crashing into a million pieces as she gasped in horror. Even Kace was sucked in a breath as he heard what Haven had just said. All the yelling had woken up the little Kyle too and hearing what Haven said made him gasp, his jaw dropping in horror.

Haven looked at their faces and paused wondering what she said wrong. Even the atmosphere had changed and she noticed it. What was so wrong to make them go pale like that?

“ L- Lucious? Lucious D’Occtaine? The second of the Occtaine brothers?” Kace wanted to confirm he heard her well.

“ Y- Yes Lucious..” She nodded cautiously not liking how uncomfortable she felt. Did these people know Lucious? Why did they suddenly go pale at the mention of his name?

“ Do any of you know Lucious?”

“ He’s- He’s that bad- bad werewolf… he’s that killer werewolf.” The little Kyle stuttered. He didn’t know who Lucious was but he had heard stories. Not only him, every young child here knew about who he was. They all heard stories, a lot of them from the elders and none had anything good to say about Lucious.

“ No.. he’s not—” Haven tried to say but Katie quickly hugged her brother.

“ Don’t say his name here… ever!” Katie whispered. “ Saying his name is considered a taboo here, don’t let anyone hear you!”

“ But why?”

“ That man- that man was the strongest of all the werewolves that walked the earth.. he was the fiercest and most ferocious of them. He’s pure evil!” Kace spat.

Haven gasped. Why were they spewing such nonsense about her mate? Lucious is nothing like that!

“ No..” She shook her head “ You’re wrong. Lucious isn’t like that.” They gasped again when they heard Haven mention the name. Katie pulled Kyle much more closer to her body. The little boy was visibly shaken.

Haven couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She unconsciously moved a few steps backwards, eyes moving between the three siblings.

“ Why are you all acting this way? What is it that he’s done wrong?”

“ He led the massacre of thousands of guardian angels.” Kace answered bitterly. “ Earlier when we said the most of the guardian angels had died in the hands of the werewolves, we should have specified it was in the hand of that ruthless Alpha. He had slaughtered every single one and razed our villages to the ground.”

Haven shook her head. No, no . That- that can’t be true right? It can’t be true. There must be a mistake somewhere right? Yes, there must definitely be a mistake. Lucious couldn’t do such a thing. Yes, he might be rude, stone- hearted and even cold but he couldn’t have been that heartless?

“ No,” She shook her head not believing it “ I can’t believe what you’re telling me..”

And why should she? She didn’t even know this people and she knew her Lucious. He couldn’t have possibly done such a heinous thing.

“ I’ve had enough!” Kace’s expression became serious. “ Enough of all these nonsense talk! And you,” He turned to Haven “ Why are you even acting this way? You’re a guardian angel for goddess’ sake! Why defending those horrible creatures? Stop all this nonsense and just live the rest of your life hear quietly like the rest of us.”

“ I’m not a guardian angel! How many times do I have to tell you that? I am not one of you and I certainly don’t want to stay here any longer. I do not accept it so just show me how I can leave this place. I want to go back home to my people. Don’t you understand? I am a werewolf! I am one of them!”

There was odd silence for some seconds before both brother and sister burst into laughter.

“ Yeah right, you’re one of them for sure.” Katie chuckled some more.

“ You don’t believe me do you?” Haven sighed.

“ Why should we? You think we’ll make a mistake in identifying our one of your own?”

“ I really am not one of your own!” Haven felt her head about to explode. “ I’m a werewolf!”

“ Then prove it to us.” Katie sized her up.

“ How?”

“ Become one. If you really are one, then show us.”

Kace’s agreed. “ Yes sure, if you are then show us. Only then will we believe you.”

Haven scoffed while shaking her head. These people were trying her patience. Maybe she really should show them her wolf, there’ll have no choice than to believe her then.

“ Fine then,” She nodded “ I’ll show you my wolf. But you have to promise you’ll help me find a way home once I show you. Do we have a deal?

Kace and Katie exchanged knowing looks. They knew there was no way she could turn into a wolf so there wasn’t any harm in agreeing right?

“ Okay.” Katie nodded.

“ Agreed.” Kace also nodded. “ Now let us see your wolf.”
