Chapter 13

ALEC

A meeting was held to discuss what we all heard. Everyone was called from the meeting when we started smelling rogues everywhere. Alias and I had swapped eyes knowing that Vanessa was out there alone. We quickly darted out of the pack dinner room. So, everyone was darting that way in our wolf forms. As we ran through the forest, a huge white light and boom startled us. It was toward the North. We change directions to find where it came from. While getting closer we heard yelling, and Vanessa crying. We all linked to wait before we approached her.

“You can love as much as possible, but you will always be the fertile one. You will bear more than one pup. More than one Siren or witch or Vampire. You are the key for us not dying out. We ask that you please use this to your advantage. But that’s the reason for your existing"

“My child I didn’t want to cause you harm, but you have a gift and you will be wasting it on pettiness. We love you child.”

A huge light and boom caused us to fall back. I peeked around the corner to see Vanessa crying hard, falling to her knees. Alias and I swapped looks, after hearing what we just heard. To think she is never just going to be one of ours, without accepting the fact she needs to breed with multiple breeds in order to preserve supernatural characters. Most don't want to bother with even being with someone who gets around. It's like a tavern back in those days. She would get classified as a whore.

She fled about a week ago and has yet to return. She's notified us that she just needs some time to father up a list to even suggest how to do this. I felt so bad for us, and knew she'd be okay by herself. I can't imagine finding out my purpose to make babies with others. But if one thing is sure I am going to be there every step of the way. I know those must be my baby.

She doesn't know about modern medicine, maybe there is a way without her having to sleep with these creatures, like a surrogate. Is this what she wants though? To have tons of kids, one after another.

"Hey are you okay?" I came out of my daze as Gloria spoke up. What is she doing here?

"Hey, how come you're here? I asked her.

"The Queen has told everyone to pack up and move, every pack. We are waiting for them to assign us a brigade" Why is everyone being forced to move.

"Where is the Queen as we speak?"

"She's in a meeting with other Alphas?" Why is she in a meeting when I am not here? What is going on? I headed towards the conference room to find Vanessa speaking among Alphas.

"My Queen this is the worst thing you can do; each pack has different areas for a reason. The good, can't help the bad" Alpha Marcus wasn't happy one bit. Everyone was yelling, causing a ruckus. She looked like she hasn't slept in a long time, maybe since she left. It went on for a few minutes before she finally got annoyed.

"ENOUGH!" She roared so loud, there wasn't a sound for miles.

"Over the years you have divided what has been a mutually beneficial pack for years. We are combining everyone. I have been building while I've been gone. Alpha Marcus you and your pack will be in the West region. Alpha Erick East. Alpha Hendrix South, Alpha Callister North. I want my strongest packs in main directions. Alpha Murphey Southeast, Alpha Murray Northeast, etc... there was a chart here for every family. If you have any issues you speak with Natalia, my advisor. Her focus drifted to my eyes but didn't acknowledge me.

"King Alias you can't be seriously going along with alliance, this is not what we want." Alias didn't seem pleased with this arrangement however we always learned to support our significant others in public and talk about it in private.

"Vanessa has spoken, ''If you refuse to!! Treason results in death, and your bloodline steps down from their position".

He sat back and just yelled in silence.

"Can we talk about the elephant in the room now" I spoke up finally. All eyes looked in my direction.

"What elephant? I don't see one in this room" Everyone laughed, forgetting they don't know how we talk.

"What I mean is there is a subject we need to talk about. That is what we heard in the forest with the dogs. Why hasn't there been a birth of a supernatural creature in 100 years"

VANESSA

I finally understood what the elephant meant. Now I need to explain to them how my breeding continues. I took off to find solace to figure it out myself, but too be honest. I didn't have a plan. All eyes were on me, to figure it out. Yet I guess just one right after another.

"My people I owe you nothing but the truth. So, I shall explain without being interrupted." They all nodded their heads, getting relaxed so they can hear this plan that I don't have.

"Throughout the years a lot of the supernatural creatures have died out. Until today where they are rising from the dead. As you know I am a hybrid, the only of my kind. Most people either want what I have in silence or there will be those who try to kill me. A curse was placed by a bitter witch that wanted us to die out. One of her sons was murdered by a vampire. Her friends were mauled by wolves. She wanted to rid the world, so that is why no one has conceived. Some babies never made it to full term."

I saw some sad looks from Alphas, because now they understood the infertility of their mates, and or friends.

"Who here knows the story of the hybrid. The real story" I looked around the room, and no one said anything.

"Everyone once knew the story of how I came to be, but I started my own story. You all only know my story I told." Now they were really invested into what I had to say.

"680 years ago, I was abandoned by my human parents to die in the forest. I was naked in some dirt. I was dying when a wolf of Beta Brent Steele found me. His wife had trouble conceiving so they raised me as their own not knowing of my identity until they took me a witch. They realized that their pack couldn’t conceive. More and more creatures were dying out. So, 5 different regular creatures gave me half of them with magic. Wolf, Vampire, Siren, and witch" I grabbed a water that was in a plastic container to get ready for the rest.

"Wait that is only 4, what is the 5th?" A smirk came onto my face, as no one knew before until it came to light.

"Demon. I have a Demon inside of me. When they casted the spell a demon had come above right in time to give me that trait." They all gasped. Demons died out ages ago, not one existed. Yet they were the key to the underworld. They can bring those to life. There was always a bad side to having this, but it isn't important. I heard them gasp some more, now murmuring.

"When I became of age, I had broken the spell. That's how you are all here today. Breeding has happened. But this time it isn't a spell that's causing infertility. We aren't sure what it is, but I plan on finding out. However, the population lays within my womb, and has already begun." Now they are all looking at me. They all went silent and I knew they heard the heartbeat within my womb. Alec's eyes caught mine, and he was furious.

King Alias shifted his eyes over to me, as he heard the heartbeat as well. He looked almost frightened.

"I was not created for true love; I was created to breed. These creatures who made me who I am are now the gods. My father is the moon god. I come from a time you always obey your parents, especially your father. He tells me I need to fulfill my duty. As my mates are bound to me, I cannot be loyal to them. Therefore, I have to reject every single one. I've bui—"

"Wait, you're pregnant?" King Alias interrupted me. That's all that he got from that. I know this is not what we wanted, but now he feels obligated to me. His face is almost pale, Alec's face is almost pale. I nodded really quick before returning to what I was saying.

"I am the key to everyone’s fertility, and I plan to help everyone. Each child will be of my own, and I don't plan on raising every single one. As it will go to the fathers of those other than I choose. These children will be immortal and fertile." I don't think I’ve seen more pale faces then the ones around.

"My Queen we have modern technology now, we can use you as a surrogate so that the child will be from both parents.” Wait what is this sorcery? I know times have changed, but now I don't get to mother every child. I couldn't help but smile like no other.

"I don't have to mother every child with this modern medicine?" Alpha Murray stood up and approached me.

"I am getting old, and I need an heir to my pack. If I help you find the right doctor, will you carry our child next?" People must be crazy about this because they went from mad to happy. I put my hand out and kissed my hand.

"You have yourself a deal, this makes things easier. But I need breaks. I need protection while carrying. I can have 4 spawns a year. Multiples are bound to happen." Everyone started agreeing, coming to terms with the new arrangements. I give them my womb; they obey my commands.

"However, I need to meet these mates. I will not carry children of no value. Natalia will be creating the mating list, and we discuss options." King Alias has still not said a word since announcing our spawn growing. Alec stood with his arms crossed about to explode out of his clothes. People started getting up, like I was finished telling them what was going on.

"Wait, that was not all. There is no happy ending Alphas. The Demons are rising. New creatures are rising. There is a fight coming our way. The camps still stand, I can't fight while incubating these immortals. Alpha training is coming as well." They all looked out as they knew war was our way, yet they only nodded in agreement. I motioned my hand to let them know they can go now. Yet Alec and Alias stayed.

"When did you find out?" Alias asked. I just breathed in and out.

"I've known. Each month is 3 for me. It is my duty mates"

ALIAS

I am going to be a father, and I should be excited. Instead I felt burdened. This is not what I wanted, I wanted to make the right not be a father. How could she be so calm, yet so destroyed. If this is not what she wanted, why is she doing it?

Fucking Moon God... This cannot be happening. She is still my best friend. I pulled her into a hug, and soon my shirt was being damped by her tears. It's not what she wanted.

"We will get through this okay?" She cried even harder now.

"Yes, we will figure this out." I heard Alec's voice as he put his hands on each of our shoulders.
