CHAPTER-3

Knox P. O. V

(Thirteen years old Knox)

The whole palace is being decorated with curtains, flowers, balloons and fairy lights. Maids were arranging the food, decorations. The whole palace is alive. Because today is me and my twin sister's thirteen birthday .

Mon is assisting the maids and checking the decorations. She wants everything perfect for us. Dad is playing with Juliana. Today we have a day off from our training.

Mon has a big smile on her face.My mom is the sweetest and most caring person I know. Dad is my hero. He leads the pack with wisdom and his capabilities of being a ruler. Mom and dad are so in love I wish one day I have the same relationship like my mom and dad have with my mate.

My father Julian and mother Victoria are the best parents one can ask for. They have been mates for nearly two decades. While mom is sweet and caring dad is strict and wise. Dad has made this the second most powerful pack in the whole world but never leads the pack with fear instead everyone respects him for his work. In my dad's eyes mom is his everything.

I will love my mate with all my heart and protect her. I never harm her internationally. Three more years and I will meet my mate. Thinking about my mate and how she will look, I crashed into my twin sister and her friend, Rebecca.

My twin sister just looks like me but with dark brown eyes and brown hairs just like our mother whereas I am more like my father black hair and deep blue eyes. We are fraternal twins. We always have been very close but after she became friends with Rebecca we started being apart. I still miss my twin. Rebecca is not the type of a girl who will be friends with my sister without any reason. Juliana never listens to me when it comes to Rebecca.

Rebecca has an eye on me. I know very well what she is after. I will never be with a girl like her who is after wealth and name.

"Where are you going brother and about whom are you thinking so much? ".

Without thinking I said " My mate".

Then I realized what I had said. From the corner of my eye I saw Rebecca blushing.

I mentally roll my eyes.

"I am going to my room, if you need anything call me".

I went to my room. Few hours left before the party starts.

A knock came on my door. Dad enter my room

"Happy birthday son".

" Thanks dad".

"Can I talk to you ?"

"Of course dad".

Dad sat on my bed and pat the place beside him.

" Come here son".

I sat beside him. He ran his hand lovingly on my hair. He has a loving and fondness in his expression.

"Knox, son, my father used to tell me to become a good alpha you must be wise and generous to your pack.That does not mean you will let them question your authority.Being wise is not weakness .You can not get somebody's respect until you do something to earn their respect.Leading a pack with violence , ruthlessness and cruelty will only bring destruction".

"Never let your anger and past cloud your judgements .I am very proud of you for what you have become .I wish you surpass me when you become alpha ".

"You wanted me to become more successful than you already did. Doesn't that mean that I am better than you and it will question your authority? " I asked with a confused expression.

He laughed softly and said "A teacher's best achievement is when his student surpasses him. I wish you to make this pack the strongest and most powerful pack in the world".

" With passage of every year you are coming very close to taking your position as alpha. I hope you take care of the pack. They are not your subjects, they are your family. Whatever happens, keep the pack safe first . You will take decisions for the welfare of the pack ".

"Dad I promise you I will be the best alpha that this pack needs. I will never let you or mom down and I will take care of Juliana".

"Of course son I know you will. I am very proud of you both. You and your sister both are very precious to your mother and I. We have you both after seven long years. Your mother and I lost hope that we will have a child of our own let alone two. But fate has its own tricks. It was a huge surprise to learn that your mother is pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl".

"But why did it take seven years ?".

" Before you both were born your mother did get pregnant many times but the pups did not survive too long . Some died before birth some after. It was a miracle that you both survived. Though your sister was not breathing for a few minutes. We thought we lost her but thanks to the goddess she survived".

"Why did so many of your children die? ".

Dad has a grime expression on his face like he does not want to remember it.

" You know your mother is a hybrid right? ".

I nod my head and answer " Yes I know mom is hybrid ".

" You see, hybrids can not conceive like normal wolves. On top your mother is half witch and half werewolf. But her witch part is more. Witches and werewolf genes are both dominant types . The witch genes prevent the wolf genes from conceiving. So hybrids take more time to conceive".

"When your brothers and sisters died it broke your mother deeply. She used to hide her emotions from me. But I know she silently cried in her sleep. Being her mate I felt useless. Whenever she gets pregnant she used to be sad because she knew they would die".

"If it ever happens to your mate Knox never leave because losing a child is very painful for you as much as for your mate".

He patted my head lovingly.

"Take a rest son, today is a big day for you".

Saying he left the room. I start thinking about what my father said to me while laying in my bed. Soon I drifted off to sleep.
