Kings and their Queens

Chapter Three - Who are we?

Lillian's POV

"So I'm not human huh? Can you guys fill me in please?". I looked at their faces and I could tell they were struggling with the best way to put the answers forward without freaking me out.

Jade spoke firstly, cheerful as ever considering the circumstances," my family are direct descendants from the original werewolves, known as Lycanthropes. Matt here is the descendant and heir to the Royal Lycan throne and holds a title that oversees all werewolf packs throughout the world. There are packs in the human realm but the majority are in the werewolf realm. Each pack has a hierarchy with an Alpha being the head. However, each Alpha has to answer to Matt and his council, seeing as he is the recently crowned King of the Lycans and all werewolves by extension. I fit into this because I'm his mate".

" In addition to being his mate, which by the way is the Lycan version of a vampire's beloved or eternal one, and chosen by the Moon Goddess for each other, I am also a trained dispute analyst".
She added. At this point, Matt jumped in saying, " I'm a tracker and warrior and I specialize in locating and weeding out trouble. I have my 'interrogation' methods. I also strategize in the war room, a trait that's handed down genetically in my family". Every word held power and dominance as a true King.

I was awestruck by the greatness surrounding me. 'How do I even fit in here', I questioned in my mind. Next to speak was Alexei. " Have you ever heard of faeries?" I nodded, remembering all the bedtime stories my dad told me. Only now realizing the truth to them. It was his way of teaching me my identity secretly I suppose. He continued " for thousands of years, my people, the Fae, have thrived in our realms, and have been allies with the Lycan and Vampire Kingdoms". He then opens his right hand, palm up and reveals a blue, glowing orb. The orb grows to about 12 inches in height and width and starts showing images, extremely dense, lush forests, huge castles, crystal lakes and beautiful people. "As you can see, we are born with the gift of white magic. You little one, also possess white magic, a trait inherited from your father, a great man and friend to the Faes. Harper here, is my beautiful mate and crowned Queen of the Faeries".

I then looked to Nikolai expectantly, but every time our eyes lock, my stomach starts performing somersaults, and I have to force myself regrettably to look away. He started talking to me, never breaking eye contact. " My father, King Boris, ruler of the vampire realm and also to vampires in the human world, ruled for hundreds of years. He was a just man, fair to his subjects. He died six months ago when we believed there to be an upsurge of dark power. It coincided with the deaths of the ruling pairs, in time and similarity of the other realms. We believe whoever or whatever caused this, tried to create chaos throughout the realms but we don't have the answers as yet. I am a strategist and I have secured connections in all realms and the human world with the strongest leaders as allies, I have amassed a phenomenal amount of wealth to assist each and every realm if need arises and I have been trained in the art of war".

"Where does all this put me though? I mean, I understand I belong to the vampire realm and that my dad wanted me safe, but how do I fit in to your superhero group?" Nikolai cleared his throat and started speaking again with that smooth, deep voice. "Well, first of, we really do need your data scientist expertise in mapping coordinates for all the disturbances reported thus far, in order to check for patterns or predictability, and we also need you to cross the realm to unearth your powers, because this fight concerns you as well, seeing as your parents may very well have lost their lives fighting whatever this is, trying to save the human world and protect the realms. Also, the sparks you've felt, the inexplicable attraction you feel towards me, the security you're experiencing in my presence, is because you're my beloved, my eternal one, my heart, my soul, my Queen and soon to be, crowned Queen of OUR realm" .
