Alpha Ricardo's POV
Hearing our name from her mouth startled us, but we composed ourselves.''Greetings.'' I greeted her, Jayson also did the same.''Please come in.'' She gestured and stepped aside for us both to go in.When we entered the room, we realized it was empty, with just two-seater couches and a center table. ''Forgive me, I'm renovating my house.'' She apologized while Jayson and I stared at each other.''Please have a seat.'' she said, gesturing for us to sit on the two-seater couch, which we did. ''Apologies, I have just water.'' she said, offering to give us some water, but we shook our heads in rejection. ''Thanks, we are okay.'' Jayson politely declined.''Very well, then, let's get to the business of the day.'' she said as she sat on the one-seater couch in front of us. I held Jayson's gaze, and he gave me a go-ahead look, which made me suck in a deep breath and say, ''I need to know…'' ''Your mother's killer?'' She cut in.''Yes, yes.'' I responded quickly. ''People think my mother's death was natural, but deep down I knew she was killed.'' I said with a groan. ''And you are right about it. Your mother was killed in the spiritual realm a day before her death.'' the seer announced.Her words brought a sharp pain to my heart, but I composed myself and spoke up. ''Who is the killer?'' I asked, with panting breath. ''Calm down, Ricardo; you don't know your abilities and what they can do. I don't want you burning down my building.'' She warned in a serious tone, which got me curious. ''Burn down your building?'' I asked with raised eyebrows. ''Yeah, you have the gift of moving metals and also the gift of fire.'' She said with a half-smile. "Wow, bro, that is huge," Jayson said, quaking my shoulder, but I wasn't concerned about the recent discovery of my abilities; I just wanted to find out who killed my mother.''Who is her killer?'' I asked while holding the gaze of the old seer, ''You mean to ask, who are her killers.'' She responded. ''Killers?'' Jayson and I spoke in unison.''Yes, there are two, it was a teamwork.'' She said with a bitter chuckle and stood to her feet. I watched her walk up to the window and stand by it while she stared outside, lost in thought.''I will tell you the killers, but you will have to make a promise to me.'' she said, and turned to me. ''What promise is that?'' I asked. She remained silent and went into deep thought before walking back to us. She sat back on her seat and held my gaze with a blank look on her face. ''Your friend should excuse us, what I have to share with you is something essential and personal.'' She uttered in a serious tone that had no room for argument. ''I'm not leaving my friend alone with you.'' Jayson protested. "Very well, then, you two can leave together because, as you can see, I'm a very busy person,” she said, rising to her feet, but I stopped her. ''Please sit, my friend was just leaving.'' I said and moved my attention to Jayson. ''Just wait in the car; I'll be alright.'' I pleaded. Jayson gave me a disapproving groan before standing to his feet. ''Fine, but call me if you notice anything strange.'' he urged, while I nodded my head in response.He gave the old woman a death stare, warning her not to do anything stupid before leaving. After he shut the door behind him, I held the gaze of the seer and said, ''Now tell me who are the killers?'' She took a deep breath and shook her head with pity before speaking. ''Your father and his mistress killed your mother.'' she announced. ''What… are…?” I stammered and stood to my feet. ''This can't be true; you are lying to me!'' I yelled. ''And why should I lie about it?'' she asked, and stood to her feet. ''Your father fell out of love for your mother when you were just five years old. He fell madly in love with his mistress, who is now in your mansion with her daughter.'' She responded with no atom of mischief in her Words. ''His mistress threatened to leave him and run away with her child if he didn't marry her and make her Luna. With no other option, your father and his mistress went to a strong witch with your mother's underwear. She made a potion out of it and gave them the potion to put in your mother's drink. Successfully, your father carried out the plan, and your mother fell sick after taking a drink that was mixed with the potion and died a day later,” she announced, while I just stood there and stared at her with startled eyes.''You are lying to me!'' I yelled in disbelief, hoping all these were some sort of silly joke. ''Really? So, you think I'm lying about it?'' she scoffed, taking a step closer to me. ''Then can you explain to me why your father had a child who you are just six years older than, and can you explain to me why your father will bring home another woman three years after your mother's death?" She asked with raised eyebrows.Her words startled me and made my body numb. ''Control yourself, Rick.'' My wolf advised me when he realized I was about to lose control."'This is not possible!'' I mumbled with agony. I thought mom and dad were so much in love with each other; how is it possible that dad would kill mom.''I will advise you to keep this information to yourself for now until you are made the alpha; only then can you do what you wish to do.'' She advised and sat back on the couch, while I just stood there, numb.''Life is always full of mystery, just like how your step-sister, the daughter of your mother's killer, is your mate.'' She mocked me with a scoff while she shook her head.''I'm done with you; please drop your fee on the table and leave if you don't have anything to ask about.'' She spoke nonchalantly and stood to her feet. ''You are going to make an outstanding Alpha, one that should be feared around the world, but let me give you a small piece of advice.'' She paused and took a step closer to me. She slowly leaned to my left ear and said, ''Love makes a man weak and fragile, Your mother met her untimely death because she was in love. I hope you don't fall victim to such circumstances.'' She whispered into my ear and moved away. ''See you some other time, Alpha, Ricardo.'' She slightly lowered her head and vanished out of my sight, yet I didn't move an inch.The information I just got dumbfounded me, and I was finding it hard to believe her despite all the evidence before me.I remembered a day my mom and dad had a heated argument, and I overheard father telling mom he regretted having her as his wife, but I thought it was just a normal couple fight; I never knew it was this serious.''No!!!'' I yelled in pain and fell to the floor. ''You don't know how to control your abilities; I'll advise you to keep your emotions intact.'' My wolf advised. Heeding his words, I sucked in a deep breath and stood to my feet. I brought out some cash from my wallet, dropped it on the table, and made my way to the door.When I got out of the apartment, I met a worried and curious Jayson standing beside the car with folded arms.''Is everything okay?'' Jayson asked, but I didn't give him a response; rather, I fell on his shoulder and broke down in tears. ''Stay calm, man.'' Jayson urged while he gently tapped my back.I inhaled deeply, moved away from him, and wiped off the tears on my cheek. ''What did she say to you?'' Jayson asked curiously, but I couldn't form words from my lips. I mean, how could I tell him that my father and his mistress were my mother's killers.Jayson understood my silence and decided to let things be. ''Let's go back home.'' He said and opened his side of the car. Heaving a deep breath, I walked over to the driver's seat, opened the door, and got into the car.With trembling hands, I started up the engine, but Jayson stopped me. ''Get down, I'm driving.'' He said and went out of the car. Left with no choice, I exchanged seats with Jayson before he drove off.Few minutes into the drive, my wolf spoke: ''What will you do now?'' He asked, while I just sighed heavily and closed my eyes. I rested my head on the window and went into deep thought. I could see the smile on the face of his mistress when he was introducing her to me. I recalled the proud look on her face when I saw her on the dining table, seated on her mother's seat. Getting Mother out of the way without anyone knowing was a dream come true for both of them. Her dream of becoming the Luna of one of the biggest parts of California has come true, and for dad, he will be super happy, seeing that he is now with the love of his life.''Never!'' I whispered to myself and opened my eyes, “Congratulations, Dad; you just made a beast out of me.''Two years laterMia's POV''Should I tell the driver to get ready.'' mom asked, but I shook my head in disapproval. ''I'm going with Rick, after all, we attend the same school.'' I mumbled, ''But he is attending a University while you are still in high school, do you think he has a class today.'' Mom asked and just when I was about to speak I saw Rick coming downstairs dressed in a gray tight jean and white hoodies. ''Good morning bro.'' I greeted him and made my way to him while mom hurried to the dining table. For the past two years, she has been avoiding Rick. She doesn't talk to him much because of his attitude towards her. I mean us.''Are you going to school?'' I asked but got no response from him. Ignoring me, he walked past me and went straight to the dining table, where dad and mom were already seated waiting for us.Rick took the seat at the other edge of the table opposite dad, while I took the seat opposite mom. ''Good morning, dad.'' I greeted. ''Morning Mia.'' Dad resp
Mia's POVI walked to the transparent door, peeped through it, and saw a group of shirtless men lifting heavyweight objects. ''You can do this.'' I encouraged myself and wished I had my wolf, maybe she would have given me the courage I needed.Slowly, I pulled the door and stepped inside the big hall. Gulping nervously, I moved my gaze around the hall, searching for Ricardo, and easily spotted him in the midst of three young men.He was shirtless, revealing his well-built muscles, which were dripping out profuse sweat. ''Damn!'' I whispered to myself and just when I was about to compose myself he turned around and held my gaze. I saw so much anger and hatred for me in his eyes and just when I was about to say something, his words interrupted me. ''What are you doing here?'' He asked while holding my gaze. Gulping nervously, I held his gaze and managed to speak. ''I came to see you, so we can go home toget…'' ''Get out!'' His angry voice echoed in the hall and like a blink of an eye,
Mia's POV''Shit!'' I blurted out while spilling out my drink, bringing Sarah's attention to where Ricardo was standing. ''Shit!'' Sarah grumbled and tried hiding me, but it was already too late, I was caught already.Nervously, I tucked my hair behind my ears and held his gaze. I was waiting for him to storm at me and dragged me out of the party, but surprisingly, he just causally looked away and took a sip of his drink. ''He isn't coming our way.'' I said out loud to Sarah's hearing, who nodded her head in response. ''He doesn't care about you, I wonder why you care about him.'' Sarah murmured and took a sip of her drink.Nervously, I looked his way and saw Janet standing before him. She was putting on a short blue dress that stopped above her knees. Her black hair was packed in a bun. She has spotless white skin, which made me jealous, wishing I could be hot like her. ''Bitch!'' I grumbled and tried looking away, but then I noticed Rick drew her to himself and sealed his lips with
Alpha Ricardo's POVGrunting within, I squeezed her ass and dominantly kissed her lips just to ignore the whimpering of my wolf, who had been really annoying since I spotted Mia at the party.''Mate distressed.'' Eric, My wolf, howled loudly in my head, causing me to break the kiss. ''Is everything okay?'' Janet asked when she noticed the way I broke the kiss was unusual.Ignoring her words, I moved her away from my lap and stared at the direction where I last saw Mia and realized she was no longer there. ''Mia is in trouble.'' My wolf howled angrily in my head, forcing me to stand to my feet. ''I don't fucking care, maybe if she dies I can get my revenge on dad and his mistress.'' I grumbled to my wolf, still moving my gaze around, searching for her.''Is everything okay?'' Janet asked, but I ignored her, shut my eyes and tried to find out where she was. ''Swimming pool.'' Eric, my wolf, announced to me, forcing my gaze at the pool.The moment I fixed my gaze on the pool, I noticed t
Mia's POVTwo years later''Happy birthday dear Mia… Happy birthday, dear Mia.'' I heard mom's and dad's loud voices in my sleep, which brought a big smile to my face as I opened my eyes.I saw dad and Mom standing by my door with big smiles on their faces and before I could say a word, mom hurried to my bed and gave me a big hug, squeezing me to herself in the process.''Happy sixteenth birthday, my dear.'' She spoke happily and placed a kiss on both my cheeks. ''Thanks Momma.'' I giggled happily and moved my attention to dad, who was still standing by the door with a big smile on his face. ''Father!'' I called out excitedly. ''Yes dear.'' He responded with a smile and moved away from the door. ''Look at you, so grown up now.'' He spoke proudly and gave me a tight hug. ''Happy birthday, my beautiful Mia.'' He said and placed a kiss on my forehead before letting go of me.''Thanks dad.'' I spoke happily. ''So, are you ready for today's outing?'' Mom asked, ''Yeah!'' I blurted happily
Alpha Ricardo's POV''Mia!'' My Wolf howled loudly in my head, which forced the glass in my hand to drop on the floor. ''What is it?'' I asked Eric as I felt an uncomfortable feeling bloomed in my chest. ''Mia in trouble, go Rick, go ''Eric yelled and pushed me forward to the door. ''What is going on?'' I asked confused as a sudden and strange fear envelope my entire body. ''Go find Mia, Rick, go.'' My wolf yelled and without a second thought, I picked up a shirt from the bed and rushed downstairs. ''Where is Mia?'' I asked aunt Cara, whom I met on my way. ''She had just left with her parents.'' Aunt Cara responded with startled eyes, ''Is everything okay?'' She asked, but I ignored her and dashed out of the sitting room.Hurriedly, I went for my car, opened it and started the car. ''Father!'' I made a mind link to dad but got no response. ''No, no, no.'' I yelled in fear and made another mind link. ''Father, can you hear me.''? I asked in panic as I drove off in no particular direct
Alpha Ricardo's POV''Is everything set?'' I asked and got a quick nod from him. ''So you are taking the body of your father home?'' The doctor asked, curious. ''Yes, he will be buried in the next twenty-four hours.'' I explained with a deep sigh. I was doing my best to hide my feelings.''You know you can keep him here at the hospital mortuary.'' He suggested, but I bluntly shook my head, ''He was an alpha and the bodies of alphas are not allowed to be preserved.'' I explained and got a quick nod from him, but he did not say a word. ''Very well then, I'll drive in front of the ambulance.'' I explained while the doctor nodded his head and said, ''I'm so sorry for your loss.'' He said, while I just flashed him a weak smile and walked away.With a heavy heart, I left the hospital and met Jayson beside my car, while the ambulance was parked behind my car. ''Are you okay, can you drive?'' Jayson asked worried, while I just nodded my head as a response and got into the car.Inhaling deepl
Mia's POV''Mother!, father, wait up.'' I called out and tried meeting up with them, but felt my legs stuck to the ground. Again I tried to make a move, but my legs couldn't move. ''What's going on mother?'' I asked while meeting her gaze, but didn't get a response from her. ''Mother, father, come help me, I'm stuck in here.'' I pleaded, but they both shook their head in disapproval. ''No, my dear Mia, we can't help you.'' Father spoke up. ''Why…'' I asked confused, ''Do you guys wanna leave me in this thick dark Forest?'' I asked in fear while staring around with panic. ''Unfortunately, yes, we have to leave you.'' Mother responded with a weak smile, ''No please Mother, don't leave me, I want to go with you guys, this place is scary.'' I pleaded in tears and struggled to make a move, but it was useless.''You can't come with us Mia, your destiny is waiting for you and you can't leave him behind, he needs you, and you will need him.'' mom said with a smile and they both turned their
