Truth about him

Mara has not been herself ever since she visited with the queen of the kingdom of Rogues. She paid less attention to her duties and often had her mind in the clouds. 

How could she tell them all that the one they all served and were ready to give their life to was the same person plotting their demise? 

She avoided Luna and only presented herself when necessary. 

Mirrod walked into his father’s office fuming in anger, he just left his mother's chambers and their conversation was not a pleasant one. 

‘’Shouting at your mother is not a great quality of a future alpha”’ Roger Wicks Cautioned his son. But Mirrod was not ready to hear any of it.

 ‘’How can she say Paris is not the right person for me? How can she tell me to go search for Emandra and apologize for everything, I mean who would want a late bloomer for a mate?’’ Mirrod groaned. 

Paris was his preferred woman, she was obedient, less nagging, and more productive. He has always wanted a woman who can protect herself, and Emandra was very far from that direction.

 ‘’Son, your mother will always want what is best for you, I am not saying you are wrong or something is wrong with Paris, but listening to your mother would be more productive than seething over spilled milk’’ Alpha Roger, did not understand the sudden change. He had been there when his son was born and a clairvoyance was enacted down at his birth.

 ‘’Come to my office”’ Alpha Mirrod called for his beta and Luna through the pack link. In no time they both walked in. Beta Albert had been spending more time with his family shopping than carrying out his duty. How could he not shop when 200 million was handed over to him, he had so much wealth he moved houses. It's been barely days and he now lives a better life than the alpha. 

‘’Alpha you called’’ Alberts asked, taking his seat. He waited for his Luna to be well settled in her seat. 

‘’A prophecy was passed at the birth of Mirrod, only 4 people know about the prophecy and it is yourself and your wife aside from myself and Luna. I believe some arising issues are blocking the happiness of our children.’’ As soon as the words left Alpha Roger Wicks's mouth, Albert sat on his chair uncomfortable. 

‘’How can their happiness be threatened when Paris is the moon child? She has every quality and Mirrod has married her as his own”’ beta Albert stated. He loved his child and it was not in his place to judge but how could he say no when the Alpha and Luna came knocking? 

‘’Paris is not the moon child, she has never been. She is only a distraction set in place for confusion and I must say we fell so hard’’ Mirrod stared at the 3 elders before him not sure if he understood a word of what they were spitting. 

He has always known Paris to be treated especially from Emandra. Emandra was rather the one so stupid and naive to have picked on the details for such a long time.

 ‘’What are you saying? Moon children are born on the night of the full moon’’ he tells his parents who only shared looks. 

‘’Mirrod, you were born on the night of a full moon, however, your birth was on the night of the red full moon’’ Mirrod stayed with his father in disbelief. The red full moon was the night dedicated to the cold ones. Any child born of a werewolf or witch on that night is killed by the moon goddess as they threaten the world.

 ‘’You're joking right?...... I was born normal right?’’ his finger was trembling. How could all of them be treating him as a fool? Mica was threatening to come forth.

 ‘’I am normal like every other child, how can I be born on the red moon when I have been alive is contrary to the beliefs'’ Luna Henrietta looked at her son with so much pity. 

‘’A witch helped us at birth, your life is tight to her life force. Mirrod the moon child is our only way out. With her on our side, we would be the most powerful and greatest pack of all. We will be able to rule over all including the moon crescent pact and royal rogues’’ luna Henrietta beamed.

 She knew the heart of the son she birthed, just like her, he was hungry for power, power to rule over every kind and the world at large. 

‘’Henrietta stops feeding him nonsense. The most important is to have him take the right moon child and rule as Alpha, being second does not mean weakness”’ Alpa Roger Wicks, snapped at his wife who did not appreciate his weakness as she puts it.

 ‘’My daughter was born on the night of the full moon, and just like the prophecy foretold she is the one to guide and sit with him as Luna, the luna ceremony should be our greatest concern, not finding some moon invincible moon child when we already have one”’ Albert snapped.

 He was not going to stand down and watch the royal family humiliate his daughter. They have listened to them for years. When the queen unexpectedly showed up at his doorstep with a child picked from the woods and asked her to raise her like his own, he did not object. 

He raised a child they all knew nothing about, she could have been so spy or dangerous but he put up with everything and now his daughter was about to be crowned Luna. He would not let Mirrod use his child and discard her.

 ‘’Albert calm down, even if emandra turns out to be the moon child, I won't leave Paris. I love her very much and she would be my Luna while Emandra would be just for, formalities'’ 

‘’What?’’ Beta Albert turns to Mirrod. Something about him was not right. The child he had watched grow into a man seems to be a stranger. While alpha Roger Wicks and his beta were racking their brains, for answers which they had none, Luna Henrietta had a sinister smile. 

‘’That's my son’’ she whispers under her breath barely audible for his ears alone. 

‘’The Luna ceremony proves the strength of the Alpha, if you are to take Emandra as a wife then you must be sure Paris is not the chosen moon child. So while we wait for the ceremony, which would be hastened due to the circumstances, we shall send words to the moon crescent park. 

Another she-wolf would be offered to alpha Chase Losbswell and as compensation, we shall include an omega to warm his bed at night’’ Beta Albert breathes for relief. The alpha’s words made him sure but not at ease. 

If his daughter turned out not to be the chosen one, not only would Mirrod die before his 27th birthday but also he would be too weak to rule and the enemy pack would conquer them. 

‘’You should leave and see to it that a she-wolf of class and power, is selected as replacement’’ Alpha Roger ordered. 

‘’Yes, Alpha”’ Albert was quick to leave. This had better work or his daughter would be the laughingstock of the entire realm.

‘’Albert, not a word of today's meeting is to be breathed outside, especially to your mate and daughter. I don't like having you as an enemy’’ Luna Henrietta warned. Her voice carried so much coldness which made his knees weak. He falls to submission unwillingly. 

‘’Yes mistress' ' Albert was too shocked to say a word when he felt better, calling Luna mistress was not something common, but a while ago he felt so powerless under her aura. She is mated to an alpha but as beta, he could always stand tall, something was just not right. 

‘’Henrietta who are you?’’
