I always admired the relationship my mom and dad had. I always hoped that I would find a mate who would love me the same way my dad loved my mom. It hurt so much to find out that my dad rejected my mom. I couldn't believe it. It was hard to believe it.
“The White Wolf was created by a curse,” my mom said, looking back at my brother and me. “A long time ago, a clan of dark witches wanted to get rid of werewolves. They knew that they couldn’t kill them because the Goddess would punish them. Back then, there were only two packs and the witches came up with a plan to turn the packs against each other. They thought that the best way to do that would be to turn the two Alphas against each other.”
I furrowed my eyebrows.
“How?” I asked.
“They cursed a woman from one of the packs,” my mom said. “Alpha of her pack was her Goddess-given mate. The witches cursed the Alpha of the other pack and made him her mate as well. The witches thought that the two Alphas would fight over her, kill each other, and the packs wouldn’t exist anymore.”
My breath got caught in my throat.
“You had two mates?” my brother mumbled quietly.
My mom looked at him and nodded.
My eyes widened. Lex cursed under his breath.
“That’s why you have dark magic, princess,” my dad told me. “Your mom’s magic was created by a dark curse. The darkness from the curse transferred to you.”
I took a deep breath and released it slowly.
Lex grabbed my hand.
“Will Fia have two mates?” Lex asked worriedly.
My eyes widened and I looked at him. It didn’t even occur to me. Was it possible?
“We don’t know,” my mom sighed, making me look at her. “You know that I am the first White Wolf who had children. Everything we know so far is just an assumption.”
“What happened to the first White Wolf?” Lex asked.
“She killed herself,” my mom said. “She couldn't choose between her two mates and she took her own life.”
An uneasy feeling washed over me.
“How did you choose, mom?” Lex asked her.
My mom smiled and looked at my dad.
“My heart knew that your dad was the one,” she said. “Our love was stronger than the curse.”
A small smile spread across my face.
My dad pulled my mom into his arms. He hugged her tightly and looked at us.
“I told you the story about the Rogue King, didn’t I?” dad asked as he kissed the top of my mom’s head.
“Yes,” Lex said. “He killed your dad and mom’s parents.”
Our dad nodded.
“We never told you the real reason why he attacked the pack,” our uncle sighed, joining the conversation. “We never told you who he was really after.”
“Is there anything that you did tell us?” Lex asked angrily.
“We were trying to protect you,” our dad said.
Lex clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes at our dad. I could tell that he wanted to argue, but I interrupted him. I didn’t want him to argue with dad. I understood that he was angry, but nothing good would come out of the two of them fighting.
