My Alpha and Beta

Ch. 66 - What to do Next

Riley POV

My body didn't feel like it was actually here as everything unfolded. It was like my nightmares, where I stood to the side watching everything happen to me.

"Liam." I started to say something, but it left my brain before I could. I was shocked at his words, his hate for me.

We never got along well, but I did care for him. I did want him. He said we wouldn't want each other after I take my wolf back from his soul, but I didn't see that as the truth.

"There is nothing we need to discuss." He said to me then looked away. He couldn't even met my eyes.

Jax moved to the chair opposite him and pulled my waist to sit with him. I shook my head and sat next to my father instead. I didn't want to cuddle with Jax knowing how it broke Liam's heart. We can't do anything about my wolf right now, so I moved the conversation back to common grounds, killing the psycho Lycan, aka my biological father.

I turned to my dad. "Can we kill Demetrius? Freya said you were the oldest and rightful Alpha."

"I was." My father said. "Over a hundred years ago my father died by the hands of humans. My father was no better then Demetrius and it forced packs to align with the hunters. When he visited one of these packs they poisoned his food so his was weakened. The hunters betrayed this pack though, and they blew them all up. A Lycan can't survive being blown to little pieces."

My father shook his head at the memory. I knew he downplayed what really happened as it was too much for him to fully retell. "Once he was dead I should had rightfully took over. I didn't see the greatest betrayal of us all though. Demetrius worked with the hunters, he claimed to be fair and understanding. He put all the horrors of our kind solely on my father's shoulders and formed an alliance with them. Demetrius was the one that killed him, and the pack, and then he tried to kill me.

Your mother was my fated. We decided to wait until the silver moon to mark each other. A month before my father was killed, I woke in a dungeon tied to a plank. After my father was dead, if Demetrius killed me he would become Alpha, but he wouldn't be as powerful as the first born Alpha.

Instead, he had me poisoned and chained. He marked your mother right in front of me, then... then he took her as his own.

Mildred was the one that weakened me. For years she performed small spells over my body and I never knew. Once I was captured, she began separating my wolf and merging it to Demetrius. There was no record of it being done before with a Lycan to Lycan so it took a long time and many spells that went horribly wrong.

When Demetrius discovered your mother was pregnant with a powerful Lycan he threw a grand party. He announced to all the Lycans and loyal werewolves of his plans. He would breed many more of our kind to build an army and kill the humans for their betrayal of his family. He blamed the hunters for our father's death and my mysterious illness, when in fact, it was all him.

Your mother and Freya bound Mildred to my soul then planned our escape. Demetrius caught us though. Fear of losing her own life, Mildred performed an illusion spell. She made Demetrius believe he killed all of us and we ran.

I was already weakened by this time, part of my wolf removed and merged with Demetrius. We had no choice but to hide. When you were only eight you became too powerful. You hurt others and brought attention to where ever we lived. Demetrius came to check out a town we lived in that the humans reported with strange occurrences.

That night we hid underground and your mother forced Mildred to separate your spirit into your fated. We thought you would never cross paths though. Wishful thinking I guess." He looked to Jax.
