Story Time For Adolph

NEW YORK

TATIANA & ZION'S POV

"Story Time..." Tatiana whispered stroking her son's head softly, as he lay on the bed and he gave her a wide smile.

Tatiana and Zion were going to tell their son Adolph about his hometown Alaska, and his people the Keanus.

It was time he knew about his heritage, where he came from and the fact that he would soon shift from being a normal human being to a werewolf, added to the main reasons why they had decided to talk to him today.

Adolph was almost 13 years old, and in four or five years time, the harsh realities of the role his status as a werewolf amongst humans, would bring was something that needed to be pondered upon and avoided.

"Mummy..." He called, arms folded on his stomach as he laid on the bed.

With a gentle squeeze from her husband who was standing beside her, she answered, "Yes love. What is it?"

"You and Dad never tell me story time together. It's just either you or Dad, and besides I'm already grown up. I'm 13 almost 14 mom, and I don't need to be treated like a kid anymore." He pouted, and Tatiana and Zion both chuckled heartily.

Loosening herself from her husband arms, Tatiana sat down beside her son, and started stroking his hair again softly.

"You're really quick to notice stuffs..." She said pausing and then she continued, "Your father and I are here to tell you story time because we have lot of things to tell you."

"Really?" Adolph asked her, his blue, and grayish eyes shining bright at both of them and Tatiana nodded her head likewise her husband.

Tatiana looked at her husband, willing him to start, wanting him to open the floor and sat something.

"Hmm... Hmmmn..." Zion cleared his throat, and coming closer to the bed, so he was directly facing his son, he leaned and placing a kiss on his son's forehead he started to say, "Your mother is right Adolph. We have so much to tell you. So much that I think you have to sit up on your bed, as you wouldn't be dozing off anytime soon."

Optimistic and wanting to know what his parents wanted to tell him, Adolph eagerly sat up, his blankets hunching around his waist, and he looked at them expectantly from eye to eye.

"I can see you really want to hear this story right?" Zion asked, and Adolph modded again.

"Okay then, story time it is..." Zion said abd then he began narrating everything he could tell his son.

He kept out some basic haunting details, wanting their son to be used to the basic stuff first, and not scaring him in anyway.

For some minutes, Zion explained in detail everything about the clan he had abandoned, not necessarily abandoned but left in the hands of his cousin, and Adolph's uncle Fenris.

With help from Tatiana, together they both told him about werewolves, his role as the Alpha and head of his clan, and most of the mystic beings in Alaska, the fact that he had people to lead and so many other relevant stuffs for the time being.

When they were done talking, catching their breathe and guaging their son's reaction to what they had just told him, wholesome silence descended in the room.

"Mom, Dad, are you saying I'm a wolf?" Adolph asked them, wide eyed and surprised.

"Yes son. You are, and I and your mother too are wolves. She's the Luna to my Alpha... You know those werewolf stories we read to you when you were little?" Zion asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, we read them to you, so you could become acquainted with everything about our family, and our normal human trait."

"Wow!" Adolph exclaimed, pausing and then said again, "Does that mean that I'm not human? I'm not normal? I'm not like Charles or my friends in school. I'm different?" He questioned enthusiastically.

Smiling at their son, Tatiana whose hands were still on the little boy's hands, pressed gently and explained further, "Well darling you're a human. But you're just a little bit different from them, but still you're like them. You don't need to feel weird or strange about it okay."

She gave him a comforting nod, one which he reciprocated all to eagerly.

"That's why I'm so hairy too..." Adolph said again, turning his arms and brushing his hairy eyebrows, and long hair, "That's why I'm like this. I'm just like the wolves I watch on TV. Oh my goodness! I'm so going to tell..."

"Shhh..." Tatiana interrupted him, placing a hands on his lips before he could say further.

Just what they had both feared... His eagerness to tell his friends about his new found revelation.

They just couldn't tell anyone.

The only person who still knew of their wolf status in New York was Mara and her husband.

Apart from them, and the few indigenous wolf clans sheltered in some parts of the city, their identity was kept a secret.

Mating Night's, shifting nights and little actions the animal instincts in them showcased sometimes in public, was kept at bay and managed well.

Zion was a thriving business man, with a growing business just like he had envisioned, and everything was moving just fine.

Despite the efforts they had made in giving Adolph another sibling, it had just proved abortive.

Left to him, he was okay with just their son, bit Tatiana his wife desperately wanted a little girl, and it hurt him that he couldn't give that to her on his own accord.

They had monitored the moon, communicated in spirit with the moon goddess, even made love after shifting ib the most strangest of places, all in a bid to be more sexual potent, and not let their seeds go to waste but well...

"You see son..." Zion started to say as he continued, "You know there are some kind of things you don't say to your friends right?" He asked, and Adolph replied by saying, "You mean secrets?"

"No, no not necessarily secrets, but something akin to it. Well this is one of those things, you do not say in public. It's something that we only know, and do you want to break the family code?" He asked and Adolph modded negatively.

"Good, good... That's my boy. Now do you have any more questions?" Zion asked, lifting Tatiana up, so they could leave him to sleep.

"Yes Dad..." Their son answered, and they waited for him to say something.

"Why haven't you gone back to Alaska? Why haven't I been there? I want to go there?"

Sighing, Tatiana answered, not letting her husband go through the stress of talking to much and she said, "Well, nothing really. Nothing has really guaranteed us going back there. We communicate with them from time to time, and we are also happy here. Or aren't you happy here?" She asked him.

"I'm happy here, but I still want to visit Alaska. I'm curious to know how it looks like." He pouted in response, and both Tatiana and Zion chuckled and in unison they said, "Soon son. You'll go there soon."

"It's time to sleep." Tatiana said, laying him to sleep as he yawned, and she covered him with his blankets.

"Goodnight mom, goodnight Dad." Adolph yawned again, his eyes closing giving way to his slumber.

"Goodnight boy." Tatiana said and kissed his forehead gently, while Zion watched standing.

When she was done with him, Zion took her hands, and watching their only fruit sleeping peacefully, they finally switched off his bedroom light, and hand in hand they walked out of his bedroom.
