chapter 61- Greed for time

"Reina's origin?" James grasped suddenly.

Alex raised a brow. "What? Is it too hard for you?" He questioned.

He bowed his head, this princes Aura and dominance was more than the young blonde he had encountered in the garden. "I can't." His barely audible voice was lanced with fear.

The room turned cold as he said those words. Alexander looked at him for a long time before saying. "I won't force you to say anything without your own will ,but this concerns Reina who is not only your daughter but also going to be my future wife so, if you think that you are doing this for her own good, am sorry to inform you that it is pointless. Because your little friend of today will not be the only one who will come looking for her anything from now. "

" But Lucius said she wasn't the one. "James refuted angrily.

" Because she was not Reina." Alexander stated matter of fact." And judging from his character, I can tell he is not stupid, he will find out the truth sooner or later. And by then it would be too late for us to do anything just because you are hesitating to tell her the truth of what she truly is because you are terrified of what she'll think of you if she finds out that she is not human and something else ;all in the name of keeping her safe. "

" I-i I am not-"

" Did I say anything wrong? "Alex inquired.

James face turned blue and purple, his veins bulging in his forehead. "I will fucking kill Lucius." He swore.

"You know he is not alone? " Alex stated.

"Huh. " James exhaled slowly." Lorraine is not me and Jane's daughter." He began softly." She's the daughter of Sofia , she's a werewolf. " He paused to see Alexander expression. Alex looked back at him with calm cold eyes. He hurriedly looked away. " Sofia was not an ordinary werewolf. She was a pure breed born in a family who were purebred for more that a century. "

" So her mother was a purebred like the others, what has this got to do with Lorraine? "Alex questioned.

" Reina was different, werewolves children do not show any signs or transform into a wolf at least until sixteen, but Reina started showing the sighs at the age of five. It was a rare genetic mutation that has never been seen before. Before in the past if a child transformed into a wolf they would be killed immediately because there was a time that these children was left and they tried to teach them how to control themselves but soon there was a rampage and the children killed an entire village of humans." He said.

Alexander frowned slightly. Seeing he had no intention to interrupt James continued. " Every since then it was a law that any werewolf child who transformed before the ripe age would be killed. "

" So Reina transformed. " Alex stated.

" Yes and no." He answered." pureblooded vampires have been blessed with abilities because of their unique genes , but werewolves don't have any of these. But that was not the case of Reina. "

Alex was truly surprised with what he said." So you are saying that Reina had abilities?"

" It was not too clear back then, and now I am not sure. " He answered.

Alexander leaned into his chair." So what kind of abilities , did they think she had? " He asked the man sitting opposite him.

James frowned slightly. "They did not know it too well but it was a rare ability that have never been seen both in vampires and witches before. They thought it was somehow related to time. "

'Time .' Alexander thought within his heart, time was very fragile and was a force of nature that could not be reckoned with. Any power related to it was not only rare but was also very dangerous. A small mishap and it could affect the order of things. "How was it related to time?" He asked.

" I do not know my Lord , back then she was still young and had just unlocked it , but didn't have the time to know more about it before the attack. " James recalled all the memories like it was only yesterday.

"She was attacked!" Alex exclaimed softly.

James felt his veins bulging from his head. "A power that is related to time is enough for people to come converting it. "He felt his

heart ache as he remembered that faithful bloody night." They wanted to kidnap her and use her power for her own. But Sofia managed to help me and Reina escape."

" Even though you ran away ,you still had to cover your tracks and the truth about Reina's age, how did you manage to pull it off?" He questioned.

" Before I meant Sofia ,me and Jade had a child together and after that when Sofia died, and I had to marry Jade to protect Lorraine. Jade became pregnant but the child was born a stillborn so we passed it out as Reina, we kept her somewhere safe for a few years before we brought her out at the right time ,you see Reina doesn't age quickly but looks like she's eighteen or nineteen now but she actually older. so at that time we could definitely pull it off."He explained.

" How old is she?"

" The incident happened ,when she was five and it was twenty-five years ago." He explained.

Alex was in deep thought as he got up and walked to the window." Who else knows about this matter?" He stood close to the window overlooking the place grounds.

"Lucius, and a few others. They mostly comprise of some witch's and vampires, Lucius was the only wolf that was in the group along with Ethan." He said.

Ethan Alex sneered in his heart, Sofia's own brother. He remembered when Reina was tell him about Ethan who had wanted to betray his sister and kill her because of he found out that she was unique. He was killed by his sister in the ending what an irony Alexander smirked .

" Do you know their names?" Alex asked.

" Yes I do ."

Alex smiled slightly." Then I'll have to trouble you future father-in-law." His words made James to

After he had given Alex the details of all he knew. James demanded to see his daughter.

Alex glanced at him , pulling a note from his breast pocket tossing it into his hands.

"Read it, it's from Reina ; after you finish you can do what you want I will not stop you weather you want to see her or not." Alexander said slowly walking out of the room.

James stared at the letter in his hands wondering was he should do next? should he open and see what his beloved daughter wrote? He sighed inwardly. I hope she's ok.
