Chapter 30

"you said he only shifted once, how do you know he has another wolf?" Jupiter asked still finding it hard to register what she had just heard,
"this wasn't the wolf I saw when he was three" she replied the curious people,
"it's possible for a wolf to change while they grow" Olivia said in the woman in order not to get everyone confused about what was happening
"this is totally different, he can't quickly grow from a plain white wolf to a golden wolf" the trainer answered and they all stared at the child.
"from white to gold?" Seth asked, "is that even possible?"
"why not ask the child?" Kenny said, and Jupiter squatted in front of the golden wolf
"can you show us your other wolf?" Jupiter asked but he didn't reply "Dawn?"
"you can mind link me" Olivia smiled at him and he nodded before staring at Olivia "he said it comes occasionally and it's so powerful that he can't control it"
"I believe in you, just imagine it. Give a try" mercury assured him and he nodded as he shut his eyes and then they watched the gold wolf transform, they heard his bones cracking and soon the white furs appeared on the skin and he wolf loudly when he was done and they were all speechless when they realized it was actually true, the boy was a double wolf, a double-shifter.
"you're beautiful" Jupiter whispered as she ran her fingers through his fur and immediately he shifted back to his gold form and then shifted to human.
Olivia blinked repeatedly, staring at the boy in amazement. When she turned to the others, she noticed they still held a shocking expression, none of them had taken their eyes off him.
"I want to see your aunt and uncle" Olivia said "I have questions for them"
"they don't accept visitors or friends" he replied almost in a whisper and Olivia laughed slightly.
"not when this visitation is specially from the royal family" mercury smiled at him and he returned the smile and they turned to his trainer.
"we would take Dawn from here" Jupiter said to the trainer "and we would train him personally like Olivia was trained to protect the royals.
"you would make me a special guard?" dawn asked in surprise and Jupiter nodded with a smile and he quickly jumped on her in tears and sobbing into her dress.
"you have Olivia who would train you and not only that, you'll train with Kenny" mercury said and pointed at Kenny, but he frowned.
"I don't know him" he whispered and glanced at mercury
"he's a vampire don't tell anyone" Olivia grinned as she saw his surprised expression and he immediately moved closer to Kenny
"is that true?" he asked in excitement
"you're not scared" Kenny asked as he was surprised at the boy's bravery.
"of course not, I've never seen a vampire before and you're different from what I imagined" dawn said
"what did you imagine?" Kenny asked
"like some scary, ugly creature. With fangs and covered with blood" he described as he demonstrated
"what about this?" Kenny said and immediately his fangs appeared, and the boy screamed in fear, clutching unto mercury who was closer.
"you don't have to be scared, he's not the bad guy" Seth laughed.
"and we have Adam, he's a wizard" Jupiter smiled, and he crept out of mercury's back, peeping at Adam
"what can you do?" Dawn asked, and Adam smiled
"I can do this" Adam said and immediately all the lights in the form went off and the boy gasp, then Adam turned it on again. "that's just the easiest thing"
"you all are amazing" he smiled happily, and he pointed at Seth "what about him?"
"well, I am human with no ability" Seth smiled weakly,
"a human in a wolf kingdom? They didn't kill you?" dawn asked in a more surprised tone,
"I'm so handsome and they can't kill a handsome dude" Seth grinned and they all laughed including the boy.
"take us to your home" Olivia said to the boy and he nodded, the teacher bowed again, and the other children waved as they walked out.
"they would respect me now" dawn grinned happily, and they smiled at him.
They all walked out of the academy, the boy happily told them everything about his life and they listened, he asked them all about their lives and they gave him little details of themselves. They all arrived at a house and the boy stopped and looked up at them.
"this is my house" he whispered and quickly moved into the house, leaving them outside. Soon they could hear some people shouting inside.
"who did you bring home today?" the feminine voice shouted,
"how many are they?" the male voice joined in anger, but the boy didn't reply,
"don't they smell royals?" Olivia asked with a frown
"they are confused, since there is a mixed smell from six different people" mercury answered and suddenly they heard the boy scream in pain, Olivia pushed down the door with a kick and they all rushed inside to meet the boy on the floor as the man stood over him with a belt.
Jupiter raised her hand and lifted the man into the air, he grunts and struggled to free himself and the woman immediately bowed to mercury as she realized the presence of her princess, Olivia helped the crying boy up and held him close.
"who are you?" the man on the air shouted "you are never my princess and you have no right"
"oh, one of my usual haters" Jupiter smiled "I might not have a wolf but I'm still your princess and you obey me"
She shouted and immediately threw her hands, hitting him to the wall and he grunt, and she hit him again and again.
"stop!" the boy cried and held unto Jupiter's hand.
Jupiter looked down at the boy and slowly let go of the man with force and he fell to the floor, cursing and murmuring.
"sit down both of you" mercury commanded the two people and they sluggishly moved to the chair in front of her and sat on it.
"you would listen and do as I say or I'll simple bury you both" Jupiter threaten in anger and they glanced at her.
"we want to know about Dawn's parent" Olivia said to them and the man laughed loudly like a lunatic and it anger them more.
"they are dead and there's nothing about them you should know" he replied in a mocking tone and immediately received a punch and they all turned to meet Kenny's angry face.
"we are going to do it the hard way if you don't mind" Kenny said, and they watched the man spit out blood and try to recover.
"how did they die?" Seth questioned him, and he glanced at Seth with a frown and he sniff closely
"you are human" he stated, and Seth grinned at him
"yes, I am, now answer the questions so you don't get killed by the Kenny's punch" Seth mocked him
"they died in a war against the rogue wolves which had attacked the royals" he answered
"and how did you know that?" Adam questioned, and they knew they couldn't trust this man or his words easily.
"because I was also a royal bodyguard and Dawn mother was my wife's sister" he answered "and she had borne a child a week before the war and he was with my wife when they left for the war and they never returned"
"you didn't go for the war?" Olivia asked, and he nodded "why?"
"because I was ill and needed to rest" he answered bluntly
"it is stated that as a royal guard, your king is priority and you work in sickness and in health to protect him, you swore an oath" Olivia said to him
"seems you're a royal guard yourself" he laughed
"you're a hypocrite and you should be punished" Olivia replied angrily
"not when I resigned" he grinned, and Olivia glared at him angrily, she felt like reaping him apart,
"does he have siblings?" Jupiter questioned the woman, trying to ignore the man's rant,
"yes, his parents had three children already and they sent them for special training to serve the royals when they were of age and they were barely around" the woman answered,
"where are they now?" Olivia asked curiously,
"I don't know about the other two, but they became rogues like I heard but the other one is standing right in front of me" she replied and they all became confused as their eyes fell on Olivia.
"what exactly do you mean?" Seth asked the woman as they were all confused about what the woman was saying
"I am saying that she's the daughter of my late sister and her husband. Aren't you Olivia?" she asked pointing at Olivia "the first daughter and second child of the king's special guard".
Olivia moved backwards slightly, shutting her eyes tightly and trying to register and understand what the woman had said.
"so, Dawn is her brother?" Jupiter asked with a slight frown and the woman nodded as the man laughed loudly,
"can't you see the resemblance? Doesn't he take after your mother? Doesn't he have your father's hair?" the woman questioned her, but she couldn't reply, she could understand why she was drawn to the boy and why he had looked so familiar.
"and you kept him to yourself? You didn't look for his sibling'smercury questioned
"they didn't know their parents had a child and I couldn't give him to a scattered family, they all went separate ways when they heard their parents were dead and they thought she died with the pregnancy" the woman answered "they never knew she bore Dawn already"
"and we also need a child, we have none" the man popped in "and he's been a helping boy, a hard-working errand boy"
Olivia wolf roared angrily, and she rushed towards him, pinning him to the chair
"you turned my brother to your slave and a punching bag?" she shouted angrily as she sent blows into his face. Seth quickly intervened and pulled her out, she was already in tears. Seth hugged her tightly and not letting her go.
"you are my sister?" she heard a little whisper and she looked down at the boy, he had tears in his eyes already and immediately she turned and hugged him.
"have you ever thought about leaving this place?" she asked,and he nodded quickly,
"I've thought of running away and finding a new family" he cried,
"what if we do that now?" Olivia smiled as she sniffs slightly,and he nodded without hesitation.
"you can't take him anywhere, you have no......" his remaining words were swallowed back as Jupiter had magically shut him up by forcefully pushing his thumb into his mouth like a baby sucker and he struggled angrily and got up.
"sit!" Jupiter commanded, and he fell to the chair, Adam immediately tied him around the chair and he couldn't move,and the boy watch with a smile on his face and the woman shivered in fear.
"now hurry and pack up your most valuable things. A new set of cloths would be provided for you at the palace" Jupiter smiled at him.
"I'll live in the castle?" Dawn asked curiously, and Jupiter nodded,
"we would prepare a wonderful room for you" mercury replied,and he smiled as he rushed into the house and came out with a little box.
"is this all you have?" Olivia asked, and he shook his head negatively and opened the box, there were pictures inside and he showed them to Olivia "this are our parent's"
"that's the only valuable thing I have, I don't need any more thing" he answered.
"then we should start going back then" Jupiter said to them as they began to move out of the house.
"how long would my husband remain like this?" the woman asked worriedly and almost in tears
"a month or more, I guess" Jupiter grinned at the woman and walked out of the house. Jupiter quickly created a portal and transported them back to the castle and dawn kept praising her about her abilities.
They moved to search for the queens and mercury led them to queen irine chamber, it was open, and they noticed their presence.
"the children are back" queen Irine smiled at them.
"what have you two been up to?" mercury asked the women as she noticed the pictures on the bed,
"showing queen Laura pictures of little Jupiter and tell her Jupiter's story" queen irine answered.
"you were really a pretty baby" queen Laura praised her child and Jupiter smiled in appreciation,
"where did you take your friends to?" queen irine asked the girls curiously,
"we took them to the wolf academy" Jupiter answered with a proud smile,
"and guess who we found?" mercury asked, and Olivia immediately moved sideward, thereby revealing the little child.
"she's beautiful and familiar" queen irine frowned slightly "whose daughter, is she?"
"I am a boy, my Luna" he bowed at her, but she stared at him in confusion and smiled.
