The Moonchild's Destiny

3. The Revelation

" I thought you will be turning into a wolf."
He raised an eyebrow.
"And what! Take you for a ride on my back. Keep on dreaming!"
I huffed in response and slumped on the luxurious car seat.

'I thought werewolves always kept to themselves, as in living discreet and simple lives. But look at Mr. Perfect here, riding one of the most expensive cars I've ever seen in my whole life!'

Curious, I gathered my courage and asked him.
"I thought you werewolves lived your lives in solitude. You know, like away from the hustle of humans and all..."

"We do actually."

"Then how come you have this!"
I made a big circle with my hands, indicating his car.

Although he kept his eyes on the road, I could see a small smile lifting up the corner of his lips.
"Why can't I have 'this'?
Leaving the stearing wheel in one hand, he made a small circle in the air, above his head with the other.

"No... I mean you can have it, but you see-- Uhh, Never mind! "
I just wanted to ask him,
"How the fuck are you so rich!"
But I kept my mouth shut because it was a totally awkward question.

"I know what you mean."
I whipped my head to look back at him, but all I saw was him keeping his eyes on the road and quietly driving the car.
Its the time I came to realise.

"Will you stop messing with my head!"

"What!"

"Oh yeah! Stop. Pretending. Will ya'?!"

He chuckled,
"Okay fine. I'm sorry."

Wow. His smile, its so addicting.
It was the first time I felt so nice after making a fool out of myself. I know.. I'm just being sarcastic.

An awkward silence followed after that, until Alan decided to speak up.

"Do you want to know?"

Understanding what he meant, I gave an ardent nod.
He looked at me from the corner of his eyes but then quickly reverted them back to the road.

"Since I descend from a royal family, I had quite a lot of wealth. I did my best to use it in a better way and here I am."

"Can you be more precise!?"

"I'm a businessman Kiara. I own the 'The Royal Moon Industries'."

I'm sure the shock on my face is evident. Alan huffed a sigh and said,
"Yes that one... And I'm not lying."

Not a word. I don't have anything to say. I'm more ashamed of my unsuccessful ass right now.
The Royal Moon Industries are the most famous chain of industries in the world. They practically control most of the GDP of the country.

I slowly teared my eyes away from his frame and focused on the road instead.
It was just a matter of time before we reach my family home.

I was finally feeling like being back in my world, away from all the fantasy and the werewolf stuff.
My eyes lit up as soon as I saw the front gate of my house come into view. I'm sure Alan noticed that because without me saying anything, he quickly pulled up in front of it.

Without uttering a single word, I hurriedly took off my seat belt. Opening the car door, I rushed into the house.

"Dad! Where are you?! I'm back!"

My eyes searched for him until I saw his frame coming out of the kitchen with a spoon in his right hand.

"About time you came home! Have you seen the time Kiri!!"
I heard his booming voice, calling me with the most familiar nickname.
I was feeling a sudden surge of emotions after seeing him. Tears threatened to fall, blurring out my vision. I ran and hugged his torso with all my strength.
