“He’s no Omega either,” the Alpha continued in a low voice, completely ignoring me who was full of surprise.
“Could my mother be a Beta? Where is she now? Why did she leave my father? Why isn’t she by my side?” I couldn’t help but ask as my inner waves raged.
The air froze for a moment, then a voice broke the silence.
“You were born of your father!”
I was in a daze. I couldn’t believe this and laughed,
“Alpha, you’ve got to be kidding, I know you always like to joke.”
I turned to my father.
“Father, this joke is not funny! My father is an Alpha, how can he give birth to me? Besides, how can he give birth to me alone?”
He coughed a few times, took a deep breath and heaved a sigh.
“Kolten, Elvis isn’t joking with you, you really are my child, and you belong to him and me!” My father blushed, ducked his head, and spoke in a low, breathy voice.
“You are lying to me! How can that be! You are both alphas, how could you have given birth to me! That’s impossible!” I cried out, unable to accept the truth, then I stumbled.
Elvis’ pov
When I saw Kolten’s shocked face, my heart ached.
Although I was so reluctant to tell him knowing that the truth might hurt him I have no choice but to tell him, because this secret concerns the life and death of the whole Inferno Wolf Clan, including the entire Werewolf Community, the Inferno Wolf Clan is currently on the verge of danger, many evil eyes are on our pack and there are a lot of crises lurking around us, I worry that if he continues to be so innocent knowing nothing, it will cause more danger to him. After all, I cannot protect him his whole life.
After Kolten was born, Patrick learned through a divination that our son Kolten would be the key to changing the fate of the werewolf clan. If I could, I would gladly do anything to give my son a peaceful and happy life, but he is destined to be an alpha, the prince of the Wolf Clan, and he is carrying a great responsibility on his shoulders and this isto protect and rule the pack.
I watched as Patrick lifted Kolten up and sat him on the sofa, patting his back gently.
For many years, all Patrick and I could do was protect our son, allowed him grow up peacefullybefore he turned adult. Now that he has grown, he has to fulfill the duties of the royal family of the Inferno Wolves. Further that he has grown up I couldn’t keep the secret to him any longer.
“Kolten, this is the secret of the Inferno Wolf Clan. The priest pack of the Inferno Wolf Clan, although we are alphas, we also have the ability to bear a child. This secret is usually revealed when the priest comes of age. Your father and I have known each other since we were young and had a crush on each other. Before we became adults, neither your father nor I knew about this secret. When I confessed my love to your father, your father was always so upset and refused to accept me at first. Since the royal family of the inferno Wolf tribe was always a single lineage, he was worried that after we came together, the royal family of the inferno Wolf tribe would be separated. But Whenever I thought about your father being with someone else in the future, my heart was tortured. So, I finally made the decision to confess my feelings for your father to your grandfather, the then Alpha Eric, and the former priest to get their approval. Fortunately, your father understood my heart and finally accepted me. We knelt before the altar of the temple and told your grandfather and the former priests that we would never part no matter what the punishment was. We thought we would be banished and punished, but promised that we will together resolve whatever the circumstances may it bring no matter what happens. In response, to our surprise, your grandfather and the others authorities did not get angry at all instead they called us into this conference room, yes in here to be exact and told us the secret that your father can bear a child.”
“What?! you and father also found out the secret in this conference room?”
How could it be? How is that even possible?! I cannot understand! Why? Why was a deceived all these years? Why was I so stupid to not suspect you at least! Why did I have to be the fruit of your unusual relationship! Why did it have to be me who became your child?! Why can’t I be born from different parents!
Kolten couldn’t believe it, his voice was trembling. He was so emotional that made me feel worried.
Even being the Alpha known to be the toughest among my people, I still have this fear towards my son’s reaction.
It took some time before Kolten calmed down. Neither me nor Patrick had the courage to speak. We allowed our son to process what he cannot accept.
I nodded to Patrick, after I saw that Kolten had calmed down a bit, we winked at each other.
Patrick immediately recognized my intent and continued, “Yeah, we couldn’t believe it either back then. I was very shocked and scared, as you are now. I’m an Alpha, how could I have a baby? But most of all, I was so glad that I could be with the Alpha without fear. Otherwise, even if I like the Alpha, even if the former priest and your grandfather agreed, I won’t be with the Alpha. As a priestess, I cannot let the royal family of Inferno Wolves die. Fortunately, our line has the special physical power so I could be with your father and give birth to you being the fruit of our love. That is why you don’t have to be afraid, Kolten, this physique before your eyes is a gift from the Wolf God to us.”
Looking at Kolten with his mouth wide open, with all those emotions written all over his face, I was still a little worried. Patrick and I had wanted him to spend his pre-adult years safe and happy, so even though he was an Alpha, we hadn’t told him the truth and had not became very hard on him. The boy is decent and kind, but he is too innocent. He has never seen the dark and dangerous side of this world. I was concerned about his ability to accept his destined responsibility. Patrick and I both see him as our treasure and we were so worried that he would be tricked and hurt.
“But I don’t want to have a baby. Isn’t it funny? Huh? Isn’t it funny for me to bear a child? I’m a man after all, that’s so absurd and I don’t want to bear a child, other wolves would laugh their heads off!” Kolten was very emotional and dismissive, showing a very painful look. Taking it hard to accept his destiny.
As an Alpha and a father, I knew from the bottom of my heart that it would take a while for him to accept the truth. But I know too that he has no choice. The ending for all his denials will be acceptance, because this is the world he’s delivered to. There is no refusing, if it is your fate then it will be, no matter how you reject it.
“Listen Kolten, this isn’t about whether you want or not, this is about the lives of thousands of people from all over the clan. Your father has learned through divination that the next alpha of the Inferno Wolf Clan would be the child born from you and your designated mate. The child would not only become the future leader of the Inferno Wolf Clan, but also the key person to change the fate of the werewolf clan. If you fail to find your chosen mate and give birth to the prince of the Inferno Wolf Clan, not only will our royal bloodline end from here, but the entire Wolf Clan will fall into chaos. The Frost Wolf Clan will definitely use the opportunity as an excuse to start a war. If we let them take charge of the entire alliance, there will be another bloody era, not only will the werewolf race be unable to escape the slaughter, the human race will also be caught up in the war!” “The consequences will be devastating.” I told him with a serious face, hoping that he would understand how important the child he would give birth for the fate of our pack.
