A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 137

They were supernatural being just like them, but with abilities and strength than any supernatural being has ever known. They were human and could blend and live amongst humans without being detected, because the full moon did not affect them. There were rarely ever Sages and there had been no record of one in the last hundred years.

It took four hours to get to the south and Aaron surprised himself with the level of patience he possessed throughout the drive. He would get to see Zera in the end, so it was worth it to him.

"Is this the place?" he asked as Ivan packed the car by the side of the road, which had no house or station close by.

"No, it's not, but I think it's best we use our legs from here on." he opened the door and stepped out and without asking a question Aaron did the same.

Ivan took a left turn after about ten minutes of walking. And not long after, there stood a cottage before them.

Aaron's heartbeat flares as he picked the scent that belong to none other than Zera. His whole being came to life, knowing he would get to see her...

Now...

The bedroom door opened and Aaron and Zera pulled away from the kiss and turned around to find the emotional Lionel in the bedroom. Zera rose to her feet and stepped forward, and there was a look of guilt on her face as she approached her brother.

Aaron understood why he was emotional. He had lost Tia and not long after, almost lost her too. Even in his misery these past few days, he felt pity for Lionel.

He smiled cheerfully, "Hey, sis."

Tears ran down her face. "Lionel," she called out and threw her arms around him.

He tightened his arms around her, and they stayed that way for another minute before pulling away.

"I am sorry I ran away from the hospital." She hiccups, "I never meant to make things difficult. I couldn't remember anything. I'm sorry if I scared you."

He smiled at her. "It's fine, I understand. You were afraid and confused. It happens to the best of us. I am glad you're here now."

He pulled her into a comforting hug. Everything was falling into place and Aaron loved the feeling it brought.

...

"Make love to me." was the last word Zera offered after stepping back into the room and closing the door behind her. Her eyes glowed and the lust she felt for him flared in her eyes. He had no choice but to obey.

He watched her sleep. It was a sight he couldn't pass off. This was not a dream. This was the reality. She was alive and with him, the woman he loved. There was still so much more to discover, but he knew it would only get better.

In the past hour, he had shown her just how much he missed her and reminded her just who she belonged to. Each kiss, each touch, every caress. Perfection. He would never tire of her, not now, not ever.

She twirled in bed and a few seconds later she sat down abruptly, and his arm around her dropped. He sighed in discontentment and he sat up as well, not liking the sudden change.

"Already changed your mind?" he asked, and the uncertainty in his voice came forth.

"I'm never leaving again, Aaron. Unless you ask me to."

"Werewolves were forbidden from turning anyone, and I never knew why until I turned you. There's no other explanation, but you're not a werewolf neither are you human."

"I'm the odd one then..."

"Some things happen and are beyond our control," he answered.

The Hart siblings were birthed by two werewolves, but while three of the children were werewolves, Ivan turned out to be a witch. He had magic as his supernatural ability, hence he was the wise one in the pack. He was born into a family of werewolves and so he should have been one by natural order. It was said that Damor, his twin brother, had taken everything that would have made him a werewolf and left him with nothing but magic in the womb. When many of his mates experienced their first shift, Ivan didn't. He became the odd one and hated it. However, he was now one of the strongest beings in the pack with abilities to pierce through supernatural veils and see into dimensions.

"Does that mean I'm some sort of monster?"

He shook his head. She was far from a monster. "No, but just like wolfsbane is dangerous to werewolves, so are you?"

"That means I'm a danger even to you."

"Yes, but I trust you and so I'm not afraid."

"And the ritual?"

He had no answer for that, he hadn't thought about that since she woke up and now that she asked, he couldn't answer.
