THE UNCOVERING OF TRUTH 102
KHAL'S POV
"Please, help me! They got my mom! If that pack is the pack who abused her, they will do the same thing again to her! As long as she is in there, I can't…" The tears in my eyes rolled down to my cheek. It did not matter if a man like me showed me how to cry. I am still human. "I can't sit here, waiting!"
My friends were encircling me. Hali was beside me, on my right, and Froy was on my left side. "Who are they?" Hali talked while Sera was putting a bandage on his shoulder.
"They said Pack, that means they were not human, they werewolves like you."
His brothers joined a concern to me. Colden was drawing the map of the Alpha King's World while Raiden was thinking about the first step.
"We can't start fighting when we don't know the enemy." For the first time I was here, Pyro talked. He was a little far from us, leaning his back on the wall while thinking.
"I don't know." For my words, I felt hopeless. "They are talking about my sister which I have no idea who she is. I have never met her."
"Then?" Zarya interrupted. "What did they say about your sister?"
"They said, I need to bring her to the pack in exchange for my mother."
"Are you a wolf?" Colden examined his features.
"No… I mean… I have no idea." My head was a mess, everything in my mind was killing me. I needed my mother.
"If they are pack and they revealed your father, you are a wolf. I'm sure of that." Raiden walked back and forth, his finger resting on his chin. "If they talked about your sister, probably, she has a different mother. Meaning… your father has a real family." He bit his lips and gazed at me. "Haven't you met your wolf form?"
"No, I think I have noth一" is topped talking when I remembered that I collapsed last time because of too much noise and too clear vision. "I think I have but haven't shown up."
"Is that possible?" Hali talked as he tapped my shoulder.
"Yeah, since he has the genetic material of his father. Perhaps now, her mother is masking it. Soon… he will meet his wolf." Raiden explained. He was so smart for a king. "The problem is not just her mother, but also, the puzzle of Khal's life. Who is your sister and why are they looking for her? Seems hard to guess."
I blew a loud sigh. "Do we have another option?"
"You didn't know the name of the pack. How can we create an option?" Raiden's narrowed eyes landed on me.
"However, we can figure it out. Human beings have CCTV cameras, right?" Raiden pointed at Froy. "You are in charge to get the footage." He looked at Pyro. "King Fire, check the perimeter." His attention went to Colden. "Draw in detail on where is the possible ways to go back to the Alpha King's World."
"Me? Can I help?" Hali interrupted him.
"Heal your wound and stay next to Khal," Raiden commanded.
"What the shit? I want to go to punch the bastards!" Hali stomped his feet recklessly on the floor.
"You can." Raiden had a look at him. Hali smirked with an evil emotion but suddenly faced it when Raiden talked again. "You can, but on one condition. My lightning will hit you."
"I have no fucking choice, King Lightning!" Hali stood up annoyingly. He walked towards the room.
"Because I command you to stay." Raiden was a master between them. His personality was mature, smart, and serious.
"How about me?" Zarya gave her a small smile. "I can fight."
"Guard Khal, then." Raiden had a tiny smile back at her.
"I appreciate it." Zarya settled herself next to me. I felt so weak at the moment nevertheless I was not a man with high pride. It was fine with me.
"I will take some fresh air." I stood up, walked to the veranda of Froy's condo, and gasped for cold air, calming myself.
"It must be so hard for you." Zarya's voice filled my ear. I looked back at her and then viewed the houses down the building. There were small buildings creating great scenery as they produced lights.
"I hate the man who brought me into this world. I have no care for him at all. Why does it need to be like this?" I bit my lips hard. "They said he is dead."
"Then why hate him that much? If he dies, probably he is now suffering from his mistakes." She positioned her body next to me, holding the railing and gazing at the small glowing houses.
"Because of him, my mother had gone through a lot." I shook my head as the suffocation covered my chest. "She suffered so much… until now, the pain is in her."
"She needs to forgive… and accept."
"How?" The tears produced from my eyes and thickened to the corner of them. "There are wounds that can't be healed… even time can't fix it."
"Are we talking about your mother or you… yourself?"
I gulped, causing my adam's apple to move up and down slightly. "I am the product of一"
"You are the product of your mother's love and bravery." Zarya was too emotional, touching my heart.
I opened my mouth, wanting to say a word, nothing had spelled out.
"Why are you so hard with yourself?" She raised her hands and removed the tears in my eyes where I was not aware that it was rolling down my cheek. "You are something else to your mother. She will not raise you when she is blaming you for what happened to her. Yes…" She paused, her eyes were sparkling as if she was not talking with herself, she was speaking with my soul. "Yes, it is hard. Yes, it is so freaking cause pain to you every time you remember how your mother's experience looks like." She held my hand and bonded it with hers.
"No one is perfect, everybody has a secret. Life will never be called life if there's no pain and sadness." She formed a small smile. "She is battling savageness over and over again while looking at you, but she never says any words… She still stands for you, although it is breaking her repeatedly." She caressed my cheek in a soothing way. "You are not your father. You are Khal and your mother chose you over her dark past. Please treasure it."
I let all the tears crawl to my face. I thought my broken pieces would never be glued, but Zarya made me realize that no matter how destroyed someone was, there was still a chance to be whole again. That was by… accepting the facts and forgiving, even if it was too difficult.
I pulled her closer to mine and hugged her so tight.
