The fate of the Rejected Alpha

WHY DOES HE HAVE TWO?

Sixty moons later…

Another winter left the fluffy ground with a thick white blanket of snow, the flakes falling from the clouds shone as the faint rays of the sunset bathed the frozen soil.

“For how long are you going to be here?” Margaret questioned sitting in bed with her book in her hand.

“Why do I have two?” He answered her question with another one without taking his eyes off the falling and melting flakes touching the ground.

“Two what, boy?” She turned another page of her book.

“Two names, I don’t understand,” he leaned over the window. That has been bothering him and not knowing the answer made him angry.

“Ask who gave it to you. Now let me finish reading my book, I’m in the best part!”

“Another thing I don’t understand– why do you like reading these books? They don’t even have stickers!”

“They don’t need to have stickers, just the good old imagination, which by the way you don’t have, “Margaret smiles and turns another page of her romance novel between angels.

“Margaret, Occisor, come eat!” Mary screamed from the kitchen.

Margaret sighed and marked her book, leaving it on the bed. Occisor followed behind his older sister.

Margaret was now a twenty-year-old girl, her long red hair grew down below her buttocks, her eyes were large, a brown like honey and her small mouth adorns her thin and delicate face. But, as they say, anyone who sees face doesn’t see the heart, and in Margaret’s case, no one saw her fists and her thirst for blood.

Occisor, despite being only five years old, his body appears to be ten years old. His hair was back as the night, his eyes equally black, though again, his understanding grew according to his body and not his age, which was counted in the human form.

Taking care of Occisor as a puppy was not easy; Mary thought that he really was the result of a betrayal and was just a human cub, but soon noticed that she was wrong. She doesn’t know why he was born in human form, but now she knows he really is the son of an alpha.

“Was he destined to be an alpha, just as his father was?” Mary wondered when she noticed the cub’s strength when he was little. There was no way of knowing; the child to that day never showed his lupino side.

“It smells good!” Occisor said.

“Only you like to eat this thing” Margarets sat in her chair.

The feeding of the three members of the Van Helsing family was totally different. Margaret ate human food; rice, beans, salad, and vegetables. Mary only drank blood collected by the government and Occisor ate almost but not quite raw meat from animals, another proof that he was not a human.

“Mary” Occisor called when he finished his meal.

“Yes.”

“Why do I have two names?

Margaret even stopped eating to pay attention to Mary’s response. She never told anyone the truth behind the little one’s story.

Mary took a deep breath. She knew that he was growing up too fast, and that sooner or later, she would have to have a serious conversation with him about his true past.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“At birth, your mother told me to call you Rudolf, the mighty wolf. To me, that name didn’t seem appropriate for you, but out of respect for her I followed her wish. However, I also gave you the name of Occisor. It suits you.” Mary said and drank her last sip of blood.

“What does Occisor mean?” he asked even more confused.

“Killer,” Margaret answered and finished eating her potato.

“Why would a name that means that suit me?”

“I feel like we’ll find out soon,” Mary said and stood up from the table, starting to collect the dishes .”The sun has set, better go to sleep,” She said and kissed Occisor on the forehead.

“Have a good night,” the little one left the kitchen, leaving only Margaret and Mary in the room.

“It’s your time to go to bed, too.”

“When will you turn me?”

Mary rolled her eyes. Three years ago Margaret decided she wanted to be transformed and since then she asks Mary every single day about it. She wants to be powerful. In her vengeful mind, she needs this strength, if not, she can never avenge her parents and all the humans who died on the hands and for the pleasure of the Lycanthrope monsters.

“Don’t make that face, you promised! I’ve been waiting ten years for this!”

“You still have a lot to enjoy in this life. Meet other people, a guy…”

“I don’t want to meet anyone!” she said and crossed her arms over her breasts.

“You love reading novels, don’t you want to live one?” Mary wipes her hands on a cloth.

“After we’re done with these monsters, maybe.”

“And how are you going to live a romance being a corpse? You know we live in this area because the sun can kill me! Do you want to live like this? Stuck in the darkness?”

“If that’s the price to pay, yes!” Margaret said.

Mary sighed. For years she has been trying to get this idea out of the young woman’s mind, but it seems to be impossible. She’s impossible.

Living forever in the darkness, being held hostage of the night, it wasn’t a pleasant thing.

But Mary– she’s not a pureblood vampire. She was transformed after her father, Julios Van Helsing, sold her to the blood-suckers. Her buyer wanted her to use her as a sex toy, but her human body couldn’t take it, so he turned her and forced her to live in the darkness.

“You don’t know what you’re saying, child!

Mary turned her back, leaving the kitchen.

“I’m not a child!” Margaret cried, and Mary covered her ears. She couldn’t talk about that again.

With short steps, Mary walked to Occisor and Margaret’s room, opened the door and saw that Occisor was sitting by the window.

“Can’t sleep?” she asked, entering the room.

“I’m still thinking. What really happened to my mother?”

“She is now in heaven, my dear, and she asked me to take care of you,” she said and embraced him from behind.

“If I… If I hadn’t been born, she’d still be alive… I’m a monster, a…”

Mary interrupted him by turning him sharply in front of her.

“Don’t say that. Don’t ignore everything your mother has done to ensure your survival! She believed the goddess of the moon had a purpose for you!” she said firmly and wiped away the tears that flowed from his eyes to the face of the small and innocent Occisor.

“Who is the goddess?”

“The creator of your kin.”

“And what is my kin?”

Mary didn’t know what to say. l besides the truth.

“Let’s sit down, I think it’s time to tell you your true story.”

The little boy felt a mixture of euphoria and fear. If she hid the truth until then was it because it was painful? What did Mary keep from him for so long? The question was the only thing on his mind.

He was about to find out.
