Chapter 11: Secret's out

Mariette P.O.V

"Momma, can I ask you something?" I asked my mother as she still cradled me close to her chest and allowed me to let out all of my tears freely. "Sure you can, honey, what's going on in that little mind of yours?" my mother asked. I pulled a bit away from her, needing to sit up straight for a bit. I could feel a head ache start to arise from all the crying. I never even thought that I would have so many tears coming out of me.

"Why ... just please tell me why you and father don't want me to see the triplets again? What happened that was so bad? I just want to understand?" I said as I felt the tears start to rise up in my eyes again. I hated all of the secrecy that was going on. I knew deep down inside of me that there was more to this story than what my parents had let onto. My mother just sighed as she stood up and walked out of my room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I just sighed as I pulled one of my pillows closer and pulled it up to my chest.

A few minutes later, a knock on the door brought me from all the thoughts that were running marathons in my head. I looked up to see my both my mother and father standing there in the doorway. My mother had a pitiful look on her face and my father had a serious look on his face. Great, another lecture comes my way. I looked the other way, out of the window, not wanting to face whatever was about to happen.

"Sweetie, we need to talk" my mother said, managing to grab my attention. I looked over at her as both my mother and my father walked over to me and at down on the bed, on either side of me. I looked between the two of them, trying to get them to get all of this anticipation over with. My father cleared his throat and it felt like I was finally able to get my answer that I needed.

"A lot of years ago, we shared the town with other supernatural species. It was right then and there that we realized it wasn't meant to be that vampires lived with werewolves or even the other supernatural species. War soon broke out and we lashed out on one another. We were constantly accused when a human suddenly died. It was no wonder that the other used the fact that we needed to drink blood, against us. Needless to say, all the heads of the species needed to meet up, to see if we would have been able to solve the problem on our own without going to a bigger war, a war that would likely end all of the supernaturals" my father said.

I couldn't understand what he was telling me. This was all so bizarre. I couldn't believe that they accused our kind of all of those awful attacks and deaths. Maybe they should have first looked back at themselves, before accusing the vampires of causing everything. "So, basically, the reason why there are no other supernaturals in town, or the reason that you have kept all of this a secret from us, growing up, was because all the other supernatural species, accused us of killing and hurting the humans?" I asked no one in particular, trying to find a method behind all of the madness. My father just shook his head and exchanged a look with my mother before going on with the whole story.

"One night, when all the heads of the species needed to meet, us and the werewolves were first in the town hall. We were about ten vampires there, I was still young and your mother was pregnant with you by that time. I was there with my own mother and father, preparing for everything. We were about ten vampires, and the wolves ... well ... there were only two werewolves. The werewolves saw it as a slap in the face, but, obviously, we didn't mean any disrespect. It was just the heads of all the families in town that were there for this meeting. The alpha werewolf who was there, took so much offense to the whole misunderstanding,he shifted into his wolf and started to attack us. The Luna werewolf of their pack also shifted and she went straight for my mother, grabbing her by the throat and taking her life" my father said and I could hear his voice start to crack up a bit.

I couldn't believe it ... a werewolf killed my grandmother. I was only told that my grandmother died of old age. So, not only have my parents managed to keep all of this world a secret from me, they lied about how my grandparents died. "Sweetie, your father doesn't have to continue with everything if you don't want him to" my mother said with a sad smile on her face. I could see that she was saddened by reliving the whole past of everything. I just shook my head, and looked up at my father, waiting for him to go on with everything. This was as close as I could get to find out the truth and I didn't want to stop here right now.

"Anyway, right after the Luna killed my mother, my father snapped on this inside, I mean, it was understandable, he just lost his wife. Everything inside my father threw him to the Luna wolf and he managed to snap her neck right then and there. Needless to say, the Alpha wolf killed my father and the rest of us were thankful that we were able to do too much damage for the Alpha wolf to stand a chance against us" my father finally said. I could see the tears start to brim in his eyes. I couldn't even have started to imagine how it had to feel for him to relive the entire ordeal, losing both of his parents.

I just sighed and moved over to my father and put my arm around him and gave him a tight hug. yes, I was pissed off with the fact that they have managed to keep all of these secrets from me, but I was also a kind-hearted vampire, I felt empathy that my father had to relive all of this. "Sweetheart, there is something else you need to know" my father said as he took my arms off of his shoulders and looked me deep in the eyes. I looked at him, confused about what else there still was to find out.

"The triplet Alphas you are destined to ... their mother was the Luna wolf who killed my mother and their father killedmy father" my father said. I looked up at him with so much shock. What the fuck?!
