Chapter 82: The unfinished business
GLADYS WARD P.O.V
I look at my mother. Her glances tell me that she is already annoyed. I laugh softly.
"Why mother? Is this the first time that you saw me staring at you with full of questions?"
"Yes. And its irritating, Gladys."
"Why? Because you knew that your hiding something from me?"-I said bluntly. She look pissed.
"What do you want?! If you wanted to ask something then say it to me!"-she said. I cross my arms. I look at her with a serious gaze.
"Why did you lied? Wallace Greene is not my father!"-I said. Her face turns pale. I smirk.
"You think your lies for a hundred years will never comes to light, mother? Too bad. It was to fishy that it starts to bugging me. That's why I started investigating secretly and yes! The truth come out much easier than I thought."-I said.
"Did Jillian told you those lies?!"-she shouted.
"Oh wow. Even aunt Jillian know the truth? Tell me mother, why the hell did you lied to me?! All of you!"
"Don't be fooled by lies, Gladys."-she said.
"I have done enough! You killed my father and grandmother just because you can't accept that Wallace will never love you! You even uses me for your revenge! I can't believe this! You are selfish! Nothing but a woman who can't accept her defeat!"
She slap me. I am not surprised anymore. I gave her my bravest glance. I will never let her control me, again! I shed my tears and speak.
"I will never help you with your foolish plan. I will never ruin my life over a stupid matter. I will never be fooled by you again."-I said. I didn't let her speak and I left her in a snap. When aunt Jillian saw me in tears, she spread her hands and I run to her.
"Aunt Jillian! This is too unfair!"-I cried.
"Sshh, I know my niece, I know."-she said. She let me cry in arms and didn't ask. When I calmed down, she hold my hand and look at me.
"Did you found out the truth, Gladys?"
"Yes, aunt Jillian. I will never be fooled again. From now on, I will live my life the way I wish too."
"I am happy to hear that, my niece."
"I just feel bad because my father died because of my mother's foolish desire of revenge."
"Actually..."-she said. A man comes out. My eyes widened. He looks like...I run to him and hug him.
"Father! You're alive!"-I said. He laugh in tears.
"Yes. Thanks to people who wanted to stop your mother. They save me. Finally, I can hug you, my daughter."-he said. I am happy to meet my father.
EUGENE ALEXANDERS P.O.V
I start reading the books that father gave to me about our werewolf clan. But I feel awkward with the attention I get from my uncles and aunties...
"I am really seeing a version of Ulysses and Cynthia. This is strange."-aunt Chenqian.
"Come to think of it, his nose is similar to Cynthia and Cendrea."-Marko. I close the book.
"Uhm...I am here?"-I said. They laugh.
"Don't make the boy flustered."-elder Tony.
"Oh, elder Tony. You guys came to visit him again?"
"Kind off. We are still surprised because the prophecy happens. The curse is broken before the blue moon came."-elder Ruben. I laugh softly.
"This boy is a mix features of the queen Luna and the king alpha. At first you think he is a whole copy of the king."-elder Allan. Aunt Ezrene came.
"You guys, the kids ears are in red. Give him a break. Here's some tea. Continue studying, nephew."
"Thanks aunt Ezrene."-I said in smile.
"Maybe we should leave the child. He really needed to study."-uncle Yael. They loom at the mountain of books beside me. That made me chuckle.
"Father is strict and he said he wanted me to have the same level of knowledge about the werewolf clan. Because mother taught me how to use magic as she practice herself."-I said. They nodded.
"He is shameless and ruthless."-uncle Marko.
"I agree, how can he pressure the kid like this? He should be enjoying his time with us."-uncle Ildrich.
"I heard that, everyone is bad mouthing me again."
"We're not!"-they said. Cynthia chuckled. She threw the glasses to me. This will help me to read and retain the information's that I read.
"Don't worry, I can do this. I will make father proud of me. Thanks to this mother, I love you."
"I love you too, son."-she said. I start reading again.
"Let's leave the kid. We can play with him after he... study. You're a ruthless father."-aunt Pricilla.
"Hey, that's not fair. I also study like this. Remember those times elder Allan?"-father. They turn their back on him and whistle as they left us.
"Wow. They do that to their own king."
"I'm sorry father. But can you stay here and teach me about things that I can't understand?"
"Much better."-he said. Mother smiled.
"I will leave you two. Its time that you guys should bond together. Love you both."-mother.
"Me too, mother. Love you."-I said.
"I love you more, silly."-father. She left us. I am happy that father is here to teach me. He answers the questions that I ask to him.
ASHLEY BRIDGE P.O.V
After I learn that she finally come back, I am happy. But I am surprise to learn that she is a mother now! Their child is like a version of themselves. I touches my belly, I also notice the changes in me. I might be pregnant as well. I have to protect our baby.'
"What are you thinking, hmm?"-he said. His warmth is freaking me out. He suddenly appear and hug me from my back. I turn around.
"What are you doing here? You're in the capital, right?"-I said. He chuckled and kiss me instead.
"Did you forgot that Cynthia gave me a talisman? If you are thinking about Gabrielle, she is sleeping soundly because I put a sleeping powder in her milk. I can go back before dawn breaks."-he said.
"How's everything then?"-I ask. He carried me and lay me down the bed. He pulled the quilt.
"It's quiet good. After Ulysses attack Brenda, I have notice that she is slowly showing her true colors. But I have to warn Cynthia. I think Brenda had someone spying on them in Skyfall. I just can't figure out who that is. I accidentally heard her talking to a mirror in the garden. She is pissed off because she learn that Ulysses is being suspicious whoever her mole is."
"What? We really have to warn them then! Oh, before I forgot. Cynthia went off to interspace after she learn that her father killed Ulysses" parents and slaughter their whole village. She raise their child in that place. He look like a version of those two. He is a handsome kid actually."-I said.
"Wow. That's unexpected. I knew they'll have kids in the future but...oh well, that place have a different timeline anyway."-he said. I nodded. I hug him.
"Be careful in the capital. Make sure that Brenda won't hold your neck. If she does, make sure to give us signal for help. Cynthia and her family will surely save you."-I said. He smiled and caress my arms.
"I know. I will always remember that. I don't have any plans to die anyway. Your too young and beautiful to be left alone. I wanted us to have kids anyway."-he said. That made me smile.
"I notice changes in my body. I might be pregnant."
"Uhm? You might be pregnant? Really?"-he said. Those glow in his eyes makes me happy.
"I wish that's true. I already wanted to have my child. Take care of yourself okay?"-he said. I nod.
"I will. So you better do the same."-I said.
"I will. I promise, Ashley. I love you."
"I love you too, George."-she said. When he kiss me, I knew he will never left me behind. That after everything is settled, we will start our own family. I am excited for that. I really wish to be his only wife.
ULYSSES ALEXANDERS P.O.V
I decided to pay visit Salvador. To see how mad he is after Cynthia send off his son's team with their cuts and bleeding body. He pointed his weapon to me as soon as he turns around. I smirk.
"Did you receive my woman's warning?"
"I will kill her myself. Her impurities shouldn't be stayed in this world. She have to be executed!"
"Oh, really? You must be really pissed off because over the years that you became the slaying council leader, no one offended you that bluntly. Even her mother. Your such a poor man, Salvador. Nothing but a coward."-I said. He starts attacking me but I just step back and avoid his swords movements. When my shoe felt the wall, I bent down and punch him in his stomach. He cough. I stood up.
"Don't try to attack Northwest region again. You already saw how we played the game Salvador. No matter what you, we are the enemies that you shouldn't have ask for a war."-I said.
"It's not because the werewolf's curse is broken, it only mean that your kinds won't be slaughtered!"
"What a moron."-I said. My eye color changes.
"There will be no slayer who will get born to slaughter any of the three kind. Only if a spell can be created to break the curse to us, that might be the end of our kinds. Remember Salvador, you and your damn moonacres will never get the chance to win against us. Because we are stronger together."
I smirk at him and disappeared in his eyes. My mate is standing on the garden while her arms is on her waist giving me that suspicious glances.
"What did you do to Southeast region, your majesty?"-she ask. I grab her hand instead.
"Nothing. I just wanted to see the furious face of Salvador. It was priceless, Cynthia."-I said.
"You must have pissed him off even more. What if he'll send his whole army now?"-she said.
"He won't. He will surely plan about his next step. We have to be careful about him. When I said about the moonacres, I can tell that he is the real culprit."
"Freud already said that. Don't worry, I knew what to do. Trust me."-she said. I smiled.
"Okay. Thank you for saving our butt always."
"Tss. That's who we are. A family, we solve things together."-she said. I agree to what she said.
"Father! Can I ask something about your parents?"
"Of course son."-I said. But we are interrupted when a group of witches appeared in front of us. It was Jillian and her family. But I haven't meet the last two beings. But I can sense that they're not enemies.
"We have to talk to everyone."-Jillian said.
