Chapter 70
"Okay, I will do it" I said softly looking up at him. I did not know whether this was actually a good idea or another mistake but it felt a bit better trusting his decision. I was tired of making my own stupid decisions because they always led me into deep shit. However now this was all his idea, this meant that if anything went wrong he would be fucked. I shook my head , I didn't want him to get hurt for some reason. 'because only he can stop those monsters Lucy and if he dies before that means the rest of humanity is fucked'
His warm hand was on my chin again and my heart skipped a little as I looked up at him "Overthinking again?" he said with a raised eyebrow, he looked curious as If he wanted to just read my mind
I decided If this whole thing was going to work , I had to trust him for now. "I was just thinking, I know you don't like me and I betrayed your trust. Your people's trust as well, but If this is going to work we need to be open. You cannot backstab me because at the end of the day you know that werewolves and humans have a balance we need to keep going."
"is that so" he said with a smirk, I knew he wanted me to be afraid. To be on the edge with the thought that he might just decide to keep the banshees around and get rid of humanity once and for all.
I knew him better now, my instincts told me that he was wiser than that "We both know as long as those monsters exist this whole world will come to an end including your kind. Something is not right about those creatures existence and you know it." I said taking a step closer to him.
He held my waist and his eyes widened a little, he was surprised at my new found confidence. I wasn't the scared fragile girl he met back then. I'm sure he was trying to figure out who I had become but we didn't have time for that. I quickly moved away from him with a smile as I walked out the door .I had a job to do.
I was tempted to go back to my friends and tell them about what was currently going on as I walked through the cold hallways but my heart told me that was a bad idea. The lesser the people that Knew I had just tricked the witch the safer they will be. The witch was powerful and underestimating her would be a fools mistake. If I told my friends now she would be to get into their heads and quite easily too. We were the weakest species after all and I did not need to put my friends into danger. Trusting the Alpha King was my decision after all and I had to deal with the consequences.
It was easy getting to the witch and she was patiently waiting for me in her room. She was standing in the middle of the room with hands neatly clasped together in front of her. She knew I was coming obviously, If she wasn't a witch I would be freaked out with the way she was just standing there and grinning. The door was open when I walked in.
I looked at her before talking , "It is done now you must keep your end of the promise"
She smiled as she walked towards me "Of course Raven I will tell you everything you need to know about your real parents and to be honest I was going to tell you even if you had failed getting the Alpha's blood"
"Why?" I asked her suspiciously
"Well because you knowing who you truly are benefits me more. You being clueless doesn't help me in any ways" she said simply as I handed her the Alphas blood, "Come, take a sit"
I sat down on a chair by a table close to the window and she sat down opposite me. "okay then, tell me and I only want to know the truth." I said even though I knew she would somehow twist it to suit her. Witches would always be witches.
"Your mother looked just like you, the same eyes , skin and the same raven black hair. You are like her replica you know, when your father held you in his arms he was so happy. He said well at least you had his nose and ears," she said with a laugh before continuing with her story "You were their little raven with those eyebrows, dark eyelashes. So beautiful, even now. If they could see you now they would be so proud they managed to keep such a beauty alive just by making the right decision."
I scoffed "Don't try to justify their actions. I kept myself alive and it definitely wasn't because of anyone...If they truly are my parent all they did was abandon me. I only want to know why they did it and what you meant by I am different"
"They had to leave you with the humans. They had to make sure you blended in because their kind was being hunted down by his kind. Your parents were hunters and not just any hunters. They were born to hunt down supernatural species , to protect the humankind. The supernatural world did not like that so they decided to hunt the hunters and they did a very good job at that." she said shaking her head "The hunters were little in numbers, it did not help that both most witches and werewolves helped each other in getting rid of the hunters"
"So the witches helped the werewolves ,why am I not surprised" I rolled my eyes
She nodded "Yes, when you were born just a few weeks later they found your parents. Your parents were leaders, they were and are still being hunted down even till this very day. Not even the banshees can distract the rest of the species from killing your parents especially for revenge. So to save your life because you were just a baby Lucy, they had to give you away. Your mother resisted but it was the only way. After all your blood is what will awaken the ancient hunter Drugger. He will be the end of every supernatural being and he will restore balance on earth"
I widened my eyes, shit, "That is what you wanted the blood for!"
