Immortal Lies

|Chapter 20|

The books in the Red Claws library were worn-in and used. Bound in leather written in black ink save for the regular books the pack had purchased. The conversation with Akira was still sharp and fresh on my mind.

"Do you guys have any books on immortals?" Akira had paused. "We might. Mostly tales though. But feel free to check out the library." And so here I was. 'Amongst books and a library way better than the one at our pack house.' But our pack was more based outside of the pack house.

Sure people lived in the pack house, but our pack wasn't recovering. This was a pack rebuilding from the ruins that the rogues had left. The books were organized thankfully all done by the small omega girl who ran the library. She followed me to see if I needed any help.

She was tiny. Short, barely 4'11, small, like most omegas and runts tend to be. 'Andrew is the exception since him being an omega is a default of twins.' Twins were a tricky thing in the werewolf world. It was rare to see a pair of alpha twins, usually one ended up being an omega.

Most of us saw it as natural selection. Siblings fought amongst each other enough when it came to alpha positions. Imagine the damage twins could do if they were both alphas. Twins even if close had very little desire to rule together, even if corruption is kept away.

I loved Andrew. He was my twin, equal, my other half at this point. But would I want to be co-alpha with Andrew? 'Not particularly. Not that Andrew or Midnight was interested in any of that kind of things.' Andrew and Midnight fit quite well with Orchid once they dated and mated.

He liked helping her with the little potion like shop she ran. Now her services were available to the supernatural and she began cutting back with The Organization due to all of the chaos that was going on and the corruption that laid at the core.

"Is there a specific book you are looking for?" The omega asked. I turned towards her. "Anything to do with immortals." I said and she nodded pushing up thick framed glasses before off she went searching. Isabella would be joining me after she finished up her lunch with Derik and Lyric.

While I had gotten a head start on this all to make sure everything went fast and smooth. 'Hopefully we will have at least one book that has something to do with immortals by the time.' That would help quite much. Isabella would also be happy and would be quick to reading.

And then things could become a bit more speedy between us. "Are you looking for like fiction books?" She asked. "No actual books, hand written accounts and all of that." I said. "The Corbin brothers?" She asked. I wasn't surprised that she knew who they were. Practically of the supernatural did.

They were like the supernatural boogeyman to us. 'Scary and supposed to keep kids in line. Little did they know the real immortal was the corrupt one.' I could already see in the future this being the next documentation of immortals to grace the supernatural world. With the lack of their presence this had stirred my world quite much.

Especially when the news that The Organization might be corrupt began to spread. It spread like a wildfire starting from the New York area. And it had reached the other side of the world now as whispers came and hunters were watched like hawks waiting for the wrong move to be made.

Being forced into obeying laws written by humans hadn't made the best relations. But it was the ones at the top that were hated the most. The werewolf council plotted and discussed. The fae courts, well we already had one on our side.

'Now it's to see what the Seelie hold more valuable. The long aged war between the Unseelie and their kingdom. Or the hunters corrupt and working with an immortal.' Fae and hunters never did get along well due to the fact that hunters couldn't enter their plane of reality unlike the rest of the supernatural.
