THE BETRAYAL

I looked up and said. "What are you talking about, my soulmate and what did you mean by I killed their child years ago,'

"Yes, your soulmate, your Luna.' He finished his statement and sat back down on the seat. "You have to leave your parents and stay with the pack, because this is where you belong, Russell.' He elaborated. 'And, the child that died, wasn't your fault?'

"Then, who's fault was it,' I shouted. "My mother was right, she said that I killed her child years ago and I can remember my father defending me and telling her to shut up. So, he was trying to hide the truth from me, is that what you are saying,' I nodded my head and said. "And I get that a lot. So it was true,' Tears kept streaming down my face and I was getting tired. 'First, my mother hated me and condemned me for killing her child, which I don't even know. Growing up wasn't in a perfect, fabulous family. Growing up with them was hell. Especially, when I didn't even know who I was, what I am and no damn fucking somebody could tell me who I was. I suffered so much, scared every day of my life, so I wouldn't get caught and get sold to people and be a scientist Lab rat.' I roared and slammed the table with my fist. At that moment, I could see a big hole and some pieces of wood that broke. I just stared at it, looking and that fear of someone finding out who I was. I felt anger, welling up inside me and I felt like killing someone.

"I never knew who I was. The only person, that showed me care were my siblings and my father. But, one day I overheard my father and especially my mother discussing how to take me back to an orphanage. I was a little kid, back then and I just thought that maybe we were going on a vacation. I never knew anything. The only thing I knew was that I was not like anyone else and my father told me to always pretend and that if I ever felt something inside me boiling up, I should quickly run to the room and lock myself so people won't know what I am. While growing up, I started feeling these sexual urges getting higher and everything anybody upsets me. I was always getting angry and angry all the fucking time and, that to the extent I went to buy drugs for myself and I was afraid to hurt anyone and Little by little, I try to avoid my siblings, making sure they don't do something to offend me and I was always scared. Every single day, I wake up, hoping and praying not to hurt someone. Sometimes, I feel this strength build up inside me, I run faster than everyone, play basketball and I can easily carry someone or carry a heavy load, that's heavy for humans and I can pretty much do everything.' I laughed nervously and wiped away my tears. "There was no one to talk to, no one to tell about what was happening around me and people began to look suspicious and I changed schools countless times or we moved to a different city, because of me,' I stopped, I couldn't continue telling the story, my pathetic story. It was too long for me to continue and I know if I should keep talking, I will keep remembering the past and how I suffered. The pain was too much for me to bear, I don't want to talk about this anymore. It's so painful. I slammed my head down on the table. I kept crying and crying. I just didn't know what to do and with this man that Saved My life, sitting beside me, he was consoling me and still patted my back with his hand telling me it was alright. That, everything was going to be okay. I couldn't believe it, I could rant like this to a stranger. I was so pent up and it's been a long time, I've talked to someone. Someone ready to listen to you and not call you a witch, a crazy man, insane, telling you that your head's in the clouds. But, he was just like me, I could tell, I could feel it and he was so gentle and patient to listen to everything I was saying to him.

"It's okay, wipe away your tears now. Everything is over and such will never happen to you again. I'm here now, Russell.' He consoled me and continued to give me a warm smile.

"Thanks a lot,' I said.

"What are you thanking me for?'

"For listening to me, saying nonsense to you...'

"Those are not nonsense, you were just saying what you felt and I'm glad, to hear it from you and listen to you. Well, those things you felt, are normal. The uncontrollable Emotions, and those powers, like you thought were abnormal, are normal. I guess, you can vaguely feel your body undergoing some transformation,' he chuckled. As the Legend goes, Werewolves are Ferocious And Immensely Strong. The full moon makes Werewolves Angry, but it doesn't mean you will turn into a werewolf. As long as your self-control is strong enough, there won't be any problem. The power of werewolves will slowly awaken when they reach adulthood and...' He sighed. " Okay, I will take this slowly, so you can understand me ok. Let's do this, little by little." He grinned.

"But, I already understand you.' I said.

"I know, but, let's take this slowly.'

"Thank you so much,' I happily said.

"You are welcome,' he gleamed.

"So, what is this pack thing?' I said as I wiped away my tears properly. I still can't believe it, that I sobbed in front of a stranger. I could have controlled and composed myself, and besides, I'm a guy for crying out loud. Now, I feel so embarrassed.

"We are werewolves, creatures that are different from humans, isolated from humans.' He emphasized his words and continued. "You are our Alpha, the leader of this pack. You are an Alpha Russell and that is who you truly are.' He said. I just looked down at the documents and stared at him again. Werewolves, huh. I thought that was only seen in the movies.

"A leader?'

"Yes, a leader. And, I'm glad that I suddenly found you and it has not been easy to do that.' He smiled.

"You're saying, all these powers are normal because I'm different,'

"Yes, they are normal. The only difference is, you're not human and once they find out, they will be chaos. But, let's leave all that matter for now and accept who you are.' He said.

"How...how can I trust you,' I asked. I know, I shouldn't be asking this question or maybe I should be asking and besides, I need to know who I'm talking to and living with. That was quick, I barely knew and met this man and I was already thinking of staying with him.

"You can trust me because right now, I'm the only family you got,' he said.

"The only family.' I frowned. What does he mean?

"It means that I'm your only blood. I'm your biological uncle, Russell.' He gave me this warm smile and I just stared at him. Tch. I forgot he can read my mind. I was surprised that he was my uncle. What about my parents? Do I have one or are they coming or are they...

"What about my parents, did they give me up for adoption and what are they and how are you, my uncle?'' I was a curious type. The smiles on his face disappeared so quickly and immediately, he frowned and I was feeling uncomfortable.

"Your parents,' he paused, for a few minutes and deep sighed. "Your father fell in love with a human and your mother killed him?' As soon as he said those words. I was dumbstruck. What? My mother killed my own Father, but why would she do that to him?

"You mean, the woman my father fell in love with was a human.' I asked.

"Yes.' He replied.

"And, she killed him,'' I asked and he nodded.

"Why?'

"Something about, not your father telling her who he was and he hid it from her and got married to her,' he said. "When she found out, she called the people, a lot of people I heard and they killed him with their gun. And, she was the one, that ordered the murder of your father. Before I got back from where I was going, your father was gone.' He said and slammed the table with his fist. "If only I was there, I could have torn them to pieces,' he said in anger, and it was like I could understand his pain. Was she that heartless, why will she do that to her husband. Was it that terrible?

She betrayed him.
