The Fallen Alpha

Chapter 101: Contents Of The Chest I

Back at the Castle
Study Room
Books were lined up in levels of shelves with steps leading to each upper parts of the shelves. There were sofas and a center table for receiving guests, while a single chair sat behind a desk with two chairs in front of the desk. The desk had a couple writing materials with a lamp to the side, while the room itself, was brightly lit, probably due to the window behind the single desk chair.
Currently, on that same desk, were the contents of the chest, Sloane had gotten from the Connor residence. While she sat on the chair behind the desk, and Nathan in one of the chairs, in front of her.
"Are you alright?" Nathan asked as he stared at her. Sloane was holding one of the few things from the chest with trembling fingers
"Alright? The dead members of the Connor family don't know the meaning of the words 'rest in peace'" Sloane said as she tossed some letters on the table "Letters from Scott to Alexa and me, a letter from Elias to me and Kathy, a letter from Mrs Laura to me, and a letter from Mr James to me. I feel like I'm gonna go nuts...I don't have the guts to even pry further into the things in the chest"
"Is that why you're crying?" Nathan asked as he wiped away the tears around the corner of her eyes
"I can't take it any more" Sloane said as she pulled her head back and cleaned her tears before impatiently tapping her fingers on the table "With the Connor family, when I feel like I've solved one mystery, more things from the past tend to stick their heads out and mock me"
"How weird is it? They only wrote you letters"
"That's the point" she slammed her head on the table "Mr James was killed by Leon when I was thirteen. He probably felt Leon's powers when I was trying to head out of town...he knew he wouldn't live from the encounter and as such, wrote a letter to me" she said "The problem here is, why would Mrs Connor, Scott and Elias write a letter to me, when their deaths were accidents?"
"What if it wasn't an accident and actually staged?" Nathan asked and she raised up her head "Thinking about it, the Connor family did know about the demon seed and the spirit seed. There were even countermeasures for if the seeds were to get out of control. A male dragon keeper was born, but Dante said that male keepers were not supposed to exist and lastly, other than sensing presences, was Kenzie ever able to use magic while at the Connor residence?" he made his case
"What are you trying to insinuate?" Sloane asked
"All of the Connors are demons except one, Sloane" Nathan said with a serious gaze "There are certain types of demons whose entire generation are bounded by servitude....and it doesn't matter if whoever marries into that family is a demon or not. An example is, the demon generals"
"When a demon's entire generation is bound to servitude, no matter what, as far as what they do is in the best interest of their masters, anything goes" Sloane said before sitting up "I don't want to jump to conclusions yet...[Picks up the letter from James]...After all, this is a very delicate matter involving, Kenzie's biological parents and her real family. If the conclusion that we've come to is true...and I pray not, I don't know how I'm going to break the news to Kenzie"
"Which letter did you decide to read first?" he asked and Sloane showed him the name on the letter before opening it

 Dear Princess Sloane, if you're reading this, I'm probably long gone already. I had a lot of things to talk to you about, but as you have come of age, I'm sure you can handle yourself after I've passed these things on to you.
 Firstly, beware of the demon seed barer, Nathan, and of course, yourself. Nathan's powers allows him to turn others into demons while your powers act in opposition to his. The body of a purified, can only handle so much demonic energy from the demon seed in a day. Do be careful when in contact with the princess, Nathan, too much might put her to sleep for some days.

She looked at Nathan "I do get tired whenever you're around."
'Should I tell her the true meaning of those words?' Nathan wondered with a raised brow, as he stared at her 'I'll keep it to myself' he promptly decided while staring at her 'We will never have that kind of relationship ever so, there's no need for me to tell her'
