CHAPTER FIVE

They were given attention the moment they entered; there was noise and mumbling in the throne room.

“It's them.” Was what they said to each other

****

“We knew your story, we knew you were innocent. That's why we left the park many centuries ago, figuring out how to release you. If we were here, they wouldn't have let us. From generation to generation, we tried our best but what we didn't know is that it was left to Rose to unbound you. It was fate.”

He said, looking at Rose with guilt in his eyes; he never told her about this. She shouldn't know who her bloodlines are; he thought she couldn't take it; no one believed in werewolves anymore. He wanted her to live her short lifetime to the fullest.

He was wrong; she probably had her crisis, and Emmett had turned her.

He believed the last words of her dying mother, who was human.

“At her young adulthood, she would meet her fate and take her new form.” her mother's eyes turned white when she spoke. She gave up the ghost the moment she said those words, leaving him to nurture their daughter all by himself, who he raised with his sister, Mrs Beatrice, who was a hematologist.

Emmett went from anger to confusion.

Rose was surprised; at this point, she had shifted back, and a white cloth was used to cover up her body.

She watched and listened to everything her father said with bewilderment.

The few people who had the boldness to stay there, even when they knew Emmett had in mind to hurt them, had forgotten because he was trying to process all the hearthiddendden to watch the whole scene.

To watch the truth unfold. This wasn't what they wanted to hear as gossip, so the brave ones; Lucan included, stayed. The frightened ones ran for their lives, they were shocked to hear the truth unfold. All this while, they had thought the bloodline of Kayla had all died.

Lucan came back into view, He stood alongside Arthur and Beatrice.

“Emmett, you have what you seek for.” He gestured with his hands at Rose.

“She is the last bloodline of your former lover, Kayla.”

Emmett looked at Lucan with hooded eyes. Lucan swore not to be scared of his fellow alpha, even if he was superior to him.

“I'm far too gone to do anything right now, she has my blood running through her veins. She's the second most powerful werewolf. She may not know our wolf traditions but you all know we're now bounded by blood, which makes us mate.”

His eyes went from Lucan to Arthur to Beatrice as he spoke.

“I want to be with her if she will let me. An old wolf's heart needs love, don't you think?” He held her tightly, as he looked right into her soul.

“Please, Rose. Let me be with you, I'm too involved in you to let go.” He pleaded through their mind link.

Rose held up her hands and grazed her palms on his defined, chiseled jawline; the hot red on her cheek was evident as she smiled hard.

“Your powers are cool, and I love that; I'm happy I can share those awesome moves with you.”

She left his arms and went to meet Arthur, she fell into his warm embrace. With her eyes shut, she spoke to Miss Beatrice, who stood by her father's side.

“You've got a lot of explaining to do later; for now, let's be happy that I wouldn't need any of those medications.” She said with a grouchy smile, no chemotherapy sessions, nothing. And maybe I would leave forever, right, Emmett?”

Miss Beatrice laughed whole heatedly

Emmett replied from where he stood, watching her, “Yes. If you've got no one seeking your death, not like I would let anyone harm you.”

“Dad, I've got myself a boyfriend and you've got yourself a son-in-law.”

“What good am I as a father if I don't like to see my daughter happy?

“Morris. Where is that little rascal.? You left him at home.”

“Oh, I forgot to spill. Morris is Beatrice's son; we thought you needed company, so we made you your little ally.”

“Not that I mind that at all.” She shrugged. “Wait till he finds out I've got powers and cool moves.”

Everything was back to normal in Claw City with Emmett amidst; he calmed the fire that burned the large forest surrounding the Park.

He apologized to his park for being a terror, and Lucan extended apologies on behalf of his park.

Emmett didn't stay there, he went back with Rose's family to live his new life.

Rose had a wish she never thought would come through, she could leave again. No leukemia, just more powers beyond human understanding and a loving partner by her side. To wrap it up with the sweetest family.

What more could she wish for?

Whatever she did, she always reminded herself of her family's secret.

“Never reveal your true form to the human eyes.”
