Chapter 0221

| gasped again, my wolf and | had been taking on all the information we were receiving, but the one

thing we both locked on was the fact that she was pure black.

“You've caught on then? It’s another reason | wanted you tested. It’s rare that a wolf is one solid

color, there are always other colors mixed in. But not our first born females.

My great-great grandfather began cataloging all the information he had learned about his family line

before him, but your story starts with him.

He had two sons and like most Alpha lines the first born is the heir to the title. It is the way the

Goddess wants it and the way we have done it for generations. With no one power hungry or

abusing the power, there seems to be no reason to change it. Until his second son decided he

wanted to fight for the title. It had never been done in our history. I’m not fool enough to think other

kingdoms haven't gone through this at some point in their history, but this was unique for us."

| clapped my hand over my mouth, having a feeling | knew what was coming.

“The oldest son, my great grandfather, agreed to a duel, half in human form and half in wolf form.

He knew he was stronger than the second son, and that the second son let his emotions cloud his

judgment in a fight. The second son wanted a show, and audience to watch his rise to power, this

was actually how our warrior trails were born. The training grounds were filled with the entire pack

there to watch. The duel happened and the second son lost, as predicted by my great-great

grandfather, and the oldest took the throne when it was time. ° The second son was bitter and

hateful from the day he lost onward. He tried to instill that vengeful spite and idea of entitlement into

his children. His son, Robert, also wanted to fight for the throne, but had no real claim to it since my

great grandfather had children. His daughter was special though and didn’t want anything to do with

her father and brother's efforts to take over the throne. She was a healer.

In her wolf form she was pure white and her saliva could close and heal a wound in minutes. It

made her very valuable to her father and brother in battle and she was basically held captive. When

she finally found her mate, they had no choice but to let her go. She had a daughter, who turned out

to have a pure black wolf, confirming my great grandfather's findings, and she could manipulate

thoughts and fight off her uncle and grandfather's Alpha auras. | didn’t find out until later that they

were both experimented on. Her brother and father had also discovered how special our females

were and wanted to know why gifts were bestowed on them and not the males.

Their bitterness and need for power consumed and corrupted their minds and they thought they

were being slighted by not having the Alpha King title and again by not having special abilities. |

guess they tried infusing the female blood with their own trying to gain the abilities.

Rumor also has it that they dabbled in dark magic to try and gain powers as well. | don’t know what

happened to the two women. | only hope they weren't tortured to death."

He looked sad at this like he had something to do with their capture and mistreatment. "So you have

some bad family members, I’m sure everyone does.” | shrug trying to lighten his mood. "So how

does your great grandfather's brother and his kid tie in with me?"

“Like | said, they had no claim to the throne since my great grandfather had kids, a son, Thomas,

and a daughter, Katherine. His son was Osiston and my grandfather, his daughter would be your

great grandmother.” He paused to let that sink in.
