“Take care of yourselves, kids!” Mom told us for the nth time. “And don’t ever take your eyes off your sisters!” I rolled my eyes hearing my mom being overprotective not just on me but also on Eana. I winked at Eana.
“Yes, Mom!” my brothers answered in chorus.
We are on our way to the Green Meadow Pack. The first of our itinerary in search for my Kuyas’ mates. Tatay is with us since we are to pretend that we are on a visit to the different packs in the province.
A few hours later, we reached at a ranch big enough to be considered a small pack territory. We passed through the vast farmlands which at the moment has few corn plants planted as well as rice plants. Then we passed by the sugarcane plantation.
Few more minutes and we finally reached their pack house. We were met by their alpha, Alpha Miguel and Luna Sheilly.
“Alpha Orly!” Alpha Miguel greeted Tatay and they shook hands.
“Alpha Miguel, Luna Sheilly, good day!” Tatay greeted them. “It’s nice to see you again. By the way,” he said as he turned to us. “these are my grandkids. Of course, you know Justin. This is Drew, Drey, Red, Rochie and our only girl, Rianne. They just arrived from the States a few days ago and they wanted to meet our allied packs.”
“Welcome to the Philippines! And welcome to the Green Meadow Pack.”
“Thank you, Luna Sheilly. By the way, this is my sister-in-law and Kuya Red’s mate, Eana.” I winked at Eana.
“Good day, Alphas!” Eana greeted them and they just nodded.
“Oh! Let’s get inside!” Luna Sheilly exclaimed.
We went inside and the strange feeling was there again as if telling me one of my sisters is really here, As we reached the living room, three girls were there. Obviously, the other one has just stopped crying. The other two were in front of her.
I looked at them and saw that the girl crying looked different from the two. The girl who cried, though, has the aura of a Fraeian.
“What’s wrong with Bianca?” Luna Sheilly asked.
The two girls just shrugged “The usual, Mom. She is again seeking for attention.” The girl who seemed to be the eldest spoke. “This freak!” she hit Bianca’s head who just let her tears roll down.
“Not here girls!” There was a warning on the Luna’s voice. As if they forgot we were watching them.
“Bianca,” she shouted at her. “Go, fix yourself.”
I frowned at her treatment at her youngest daughter.
Bianca stood up and was about to walk away when Kuya Drey held her arm. “Mate!” he said.
I gasped and I saw Bianca smiled but vanished as she heard a growl.
“By the way, these are my daughters.” Alpha Miguel said. “Blair, Brace and my daughter Bianca.” Luna Sheilly glared at the alpha as she heard Bianca’s introduction. “Blair here is our future alpha female.”
“It’s nice to meet you girls!” Tatay nodded to them.” Well, these are my grandchildren, Justin, Drew, Drey, who obviously is your sister’s mate; Red and his mate Eana; Rochie and Ri. ”
“I think you wouldn’t want Bianca to be your mate!” Brace suddenly said to Kuya Drey causing us to stop.
“And why is that?” Kuya Drey spoke calmly, as he pulled Bianca closer to him.
“Because, she is a freak! She can’t shift! You need more than her. Why not choose me instead?” I glared at Brace.
“I agree with Brace!” Blair seconded. Bianca just looked down, not meeting any of our gazes. She seemed embarassed with what her sisters said.
“Eana and I can’t shift either.” I spoke, anger is in my voice. “But my family never treated us differently. Isn’t that family supposed to do?”
“It seems that my mate is not treated well in here. Well, in that case, it would be my pleasure to bring her home, where she will be loved by my siblings and me.” Kuya Drey spoke. “And NO ONE CAN EVER REPLACE HER especially you!” he pointed Brace angrily, the alpha power is obvious in his voice.
The four of them flinched.
“Calm down,” Alpha Miguel spoke. “There’s no problem having you as my daughter’s mate. And if she wants, she can go with you.”
“But Dad -,” Blair tried to protest. The alpha just raised his hand to stop her.
“Want to teach them a lesson?” I heard Eana in our mindlink. I smiled and winked at her.
“Take your pick!”
“Brace.” she said.
“Good! Then, I’ll have Blair.”
As she smiled at me, the two girls suddenly crumpled down the floor, shrieking in pain. We acted out as if we’re shocked as the alphas, even Tatay, went over them.
“I’ve been longing to do that since we first came in!” I told Eana in our mindlink.
“Me, too.”
“Blair! Brace! What happened to you?” Luna Sheilly panicked seeing her two girls shrieking. She suddenly stood up and grabbed Bianca who was still shocked with what was happening.
“Mom!” she exclaimed, pain in her voice as the luna pulled her hair and slapped her.
“What did you do to them? What did you do to my daughters, you freak?!” she slapped her again.
“I- I didn’t do anything. Please, s-stop.!” Bianca begged.
“Stop that Sheilly! You know she can’t do that!” Alpha Miguel said angrily.
Seeing how she treated my sister, I decided to let her taste the pain, too. But before I did it, she suddenly shrieked.
“That would teach her the lesson to never mistreat our family!” Kuya Red spoke in our mindlink. I nodded.
“Kids,” Tatay spoke. “that’s enough.” he said calmly.
“Yes, Tatay.”
We stopped and the three slowly stood up. But Blair attacked Bianca and managed to scratched her arm. I held her arm and threw her away. Brace and Sheilly tried to attack but before they reached Bianca again, all of us blocked her way. “STOP!” I ordered, feeling my royal power over her.
They stopped and flinched. Alpha Miguel looked at me and then looked down when he realized who I am and the reason behind my powerful order.
“We won’t let you hurt her. She is part of our family. Freak or not, she will be loved. While you,” I glared at her. “I would feel sorry for the people who will be under your care. Coz, you don’t have the ability to lead!”
“Alpha Miguel,” Tatay spoke with authority. “You know how much I respected you. We came here in peace, hoping we could talk about our alliance. If this is how your future Alpha behaves, then I guess I have to reconsider out treaty.
Alpha Miguel gulped. “Don’t worry Alpha Orly. We still have to train Blair and wait for her mate as well.”
“We will just talk sometime again, then. I guess, we have to go now. I don’t think we could stay here for more than a few minutes. I don’t like tension to increase.”
“O-okay, Alpha. Thank you for your visit.” Alpha Miguel said sadly.
“Oh, you’re home!” Mom met us.
“Something went bad.” Tatay said shaking his head.
“What happened-,” she stopped midway when she saw Bianca with Kuya Drey.
“Mom, this is Bianca, my mate.” Kuya Drey introduced her. “Unfortunately, she has been mistreated by her mom and sisters.”
“Oh, dear!” Mom reached her and hugged her tightly. “Don’t worry dear. That would be all in the past now. By the way, I am RoseAnn, their mother.”
“I am Bianca, from the Green Meadow Pack. My mom and my sisters considered me a freak coz I can’t shift and because of my talent.”
“Do you mean, not all of you in the family are talented?” Rochie asked.
“Nope!” I said. It’s just me and my Dad.” She stopped. “Wait… you’re not surprised or afraid?”
“Nope!” I answered. “Because like you, we are all talented.” She was surprised. “And since you’re Kuya Drey’s mate, I presume your power is related to the Earth.” her jaws dropped.
“What?” Tatay asked. “Didn’t your father told you about the Fraeian legend?”
“He did but I thought it was just a legend!”
“Then, you have to believe it!” Red spoke. “I am Red by the way. I am an Aelean but I can also control fire. And this is my lovely mate, Eana!”
Eana blushed once again. “Hi. I’m Eana. I came from the Stonefire Pack. I am a Firean.”
“I’m Drew. I, too, am an Aelean and I can control the water.”
“I am Rochie. I have the power of the wind far greater than them.” he joked and Bianca smiled.
“I am Rianne but you can call me Ri. I have all of theirs.” I winked at her when she realized what I said.
“I’m Drake, their father. That is Justin and of course, Tatay Orly.
“About what happened earlier.” Tatay started. “I knew one of you did it. Mind to tell me?”
“Did what?” Bianca asked.
“What happened to your Mom and sisters was the doing of one of these three.” Tatay spoke pointing to Red, Eana and I.
“Err, actually, Tay,” I said softly, “the three of us did it.” Eana and I giggled.
“I knew it!” Rochie exclaimed. “You, mean people!” he said but gave us a wink.
“We were just so angry at how they treated Bianca.” Eana explained.
“And they deserve to be punished.” Kuya Red and I spoke together.
“I know.” Tatay smiled. “I was trying not to. Just be careful the next time.”
“We are so sorry, Biancs!” I told her.
“Thank you!” I was surprised. It was not the reaction I expected from her. “Thank you for defending me.”
“Of course! You’re our sister!” I said and gave her a hug. Eana joined us, too.
“SISTERS!” we exclaimed all together before we broke into laughter.
“How do you have your power and your sisters don’t?” Tatay asked.
“My father was the Beta of the pack. My mother died when I was 10. When the Alpha died, my father took over but the Luna won’t step down. So they decided to get married. When my step family saw my talent, they thought I was a freak and started treating me badly.”
I didn’t know what to say instead, I walked up to Bianca and gave her a hug.
