Surprises

Staring at these cowards who called themselves my parents, I walked back to my previous position and snapped my fingers. All of a sudden, everything began to move again.

“Look Kyra...”

he came closer and looked at me gently.

“...I know I have not always been there for you as much as I should, don't look at this as a bad thing. Remember your mum always said 'you, Kyra, you are made for great things'.

... This may seem unfair, but...”

He was still speaking when I interrupted.

“You don't have to explain dad, it's my duty to the family and my responsibility to the entire pack”.

I said.

Both Mr and Mrs Monroe looked at me with so much surprise.

“I know I have been arrogant in the past but this has always been a werewolf tradition, that the eldest daughters of each alpha's house must serve the supreme alpha house either as doctors, bed warmers for the supreme alpha's men and for the likes of me, an unfortunate bride for the cold and heartless alpha lord”.

I said calmly with indifference written on my face.

Alpha Monroe looked very pleased, and I could see that he was proud of me. But Mrs Monroe looked very confused, I could tell she wasn't expecting such a sensible response from a dandy, spoilt, arrogant person like me.

I gave her a knowing smile.

“When do I leave”?

I asked not sure of how to address alpha Monroe, calling him dad again seemed a bit far fetched.

Alpha Monroe couldn't believe his ear, she was willing to leave quietly, he had been trying to get her to understand, but she just wouldn't listen that was why he had her locked up after instructing that she was served three square meal. But when he returned he heard she had refused to eat anything, which got him so furious, he couldn't understand why she would do that to herself when she already had a very weak body, which was why she couldn't transform to her wolf form.

“Kyra, I know you have a very weak body, but remember you are the daughter of an alpha and your mother is the strongest warrior I know okay? Always remember that”.

“What's going on here”?

A young man walked in, he should be in his twenties.

“Michael you are back”.

Mr Monroe said.

“Yes father, my flight landed thirty minute ago”.

“Mmm”.

Michael was Alpha Monroe's only son, the next in line as alpha and the CEO of GO enterprise, Mrs Monroe's pride.

“Mum”?

He walk over and gave her a kiss on the head, while she hugged him. She finally spoke for the first time since she entered the room.

“You sister is finally ready to be of service the supreme household”.

She said as though I willingly signed up for it, I instantly saw something flash in his eye which quickly vanished like it was never there.

“Okay, I have to go, I haven't seen Caroline yet, and you know how sensitive she can be”.

Michael said.

“ Of cause, we can talk business later, do not keep your mate waiting”.

Alpha Monroe said and Michael nodded.

He gave me one last glance and turned to leave.

“Kyra, dear, I know all of this is too much for you, you can always talk to mummy okay”?

Mrs Monroe said with the look of so much care. I gave her a faint smile. When I heard alpha Monroe say,

“There is nothing to worry about, they would be here to pick you up tomorrow”.

I gently nodded.

“We will let you get some rest, the maid will bring you your food and medicine okay”?

Said Mrs Monroe

I nodded again as the both turned leaving me to my own thought.

I sat on the bed, with my legs crossed, I began to cough and spat out a mouth full of blood into my handkerchief. I closed my eyes and began focusing all my energy on my life core which was also my life force, the poison had done a lot of damage in this body, but its not something I can't fix.

I began the healing process which was slow and painful. After about three hours, I was finally done releasing the poison remnant from my system. I opened my eyes to clean up the sweat all over me, but I found my step brother staring at me with a stem look.

“Are you really leaving? I thought you hated the idea and promised you would wait for me to return, and not make any rash decisions”.

Michael said almost raising his voice.

I looked at him quietly, if he only he knew that I am not his beloved sister.

“Listen Kyra, I know all this is dads decision”.

He said with hatred flashing through his eyes

“You don't have to do this you have always been free willed, and not a push over, I need you to give me a little more time and I will have everything thing under control”.

He said with so much conviction, while walking over to the bed.

“This is none of your business”.

I said coldly. I could see that he was hurt by my words but I didn't really care.

He looked at me skeptically and was about to say something when a maid knocked at the door.

“Come in”.

I said so he nodded at me looking a little disappointed before leaving.

The awaited day came faster than expected.

Waking up to a knock on my door, before my response, I saw Mrs Monroe, or should I say mum, walk in.

“Are you alright dear, I think you have a fever”.

She said as she placed her hands on my head, I silently let her do as she pleased.

“You my baby are leaving me today, I feel so lost without you already”.

She said wiping tears that didn't exist. Sitting up on my bed I wrapped my arms around her while I whispered in her ears,

“I know what you've been doing”.
