Chương 50: The Origin Story of Rhella

Alexander’s P.O.V.-

Parking my car, I walk hastily to the pack house. I can’t believe someone would expose themselves to the humans. For centuries our kind have been trying to keep ourselves hidden, away from the vile humans. If they had any inkling that we existed they would experiment on us.

Busting through the glass doors to tell them what I have discovered I see Aren, Christian and one of our pack scouts Oscar whispering to each other in the corner. Once they discover my presence they instantly stop talking. By the looks on their faces I can tell they already know the news.

Aren quickly walks over to me. “Come on, our fathers are starting a meeting and they can’t start without you.” We all walk down the long hallway until we reach the big meeting room. There are around 10 small meeting rooms in the house, but there's only one big meeting room that holds around 50 to 100 people. The room is never used often, unless it’s a serious matter.

Walking into the room I hear a bunch of pack members all talking over each other. They all surround themselves around the big oak table yelling at each. Me and my friends all walk to the back of the room and sit in the chairs in the corner. We aren’t permitted to sit at the table because we don’t have an official title yet.

“Have you seen anything out there?” I asked my friend Oscar the scout. Oscar’s been a scout for over 2 years, he’s one of the best scouts we’ve ever had. Scouts are people who are in touch with all the packs in the Nygaardian region, they make sure there aren't any suspicious people on our lands. It’s a demanding job and takes a lot of skills.

He pushes his blonde hair out of his eyes and turns to me. “I haven’t seen anyone with my own eyes, but I’ve smelt unfamiliar scents around the border. Only on the Golden Summit Pack borders not any other pack borders which is weird. All the scouts have decided that someone is targeting your pack, personally.” He says waiting for me to respond.

“Do you know who’s the one that exposed themselves on camera?” I asked. He shakes his head and purses his lips.

Before I’m able to ask more questions my father, The Alpha, walks into the room. His powerful dominance radiates over the room. Everyone stands up and bows to him, once he walks over to the table he sits down and everyone follows. We wait for him to get all his papers in order, then he begins talking.

“There are many things that need to be discussed. First, we will talk about the elephant in the room the werewolf who exposed themselves to the humans. Kal what’s the report on that?” Kal, the head of the scouts in the Nygaardian region stands up to speak.

“I have had my scouts all around the perimeter of the whole Nyaardian region. I had five scouts find unfamiliar scents around the eastern part of the land. Two others found a familiar smell around the southern part. One smell belongs to Sasha Sapphire, the Princess of Insofar. The second one belongs to a Khan. We can’t tell which one since they all smell the same.” Everyone begins to mumble to each other.

I look to Aren and Christian who are talking amongst each other. I knew that it was Sasha, but a Khan. No Khan has been seen since The Great War. We were told that all the Khans died in the war, but I guess some live on. What would a Khan want with us and Insofar?

“Everyone quiet down.” My father says in his Alpha tone. Everyone immediately calms down. “Now I want double the scouts on the perimeter, we will not notify the King unless we can’t handle the situation. Kal once you figure out who the Khan is and if you get another whiff of the princess let me know.”

“Also, Alpha the wolf who exposed themselves it wasn’t one of ours. We don’t know who it was.” Kal adds in.

“Alright give me updates once you figure out who it is. Next I see the Beta has something to say.” Henry holt, the Beta of our pack and Christians father, stands up.

“As Beta I want to instate a curfew. Everyone, including adults, need to be in their room by 10:00. This will last until the mystery wolf and Sasha is found.” Everyone groans at him.

“I support that Henry, thank you.” My father nods to Henry. “With the warriors I know they train at night, but now they will have to train in the morning. Charles will take care of that.”

“Yes Alpha.” Charles, the gamma of the pack, and Aren’s father says.

“That concludes this meeting. Everyone can leave except for my son.” All the people in the room turn to me suspicion written all over their face. As everyone walks out the room I walk over to my father. Once everyone is gone, he begins talking to me.

“I know you have been hanging out with Quinn.” He tells me as he files his papers together. “I wanted you to stay away from her, but you are grown and in charge of your own actions.” Thank god he’s on the Quinn train. I knew that he was aware of me hanging with Quinn her scent lingers on my clothes. I was wondering why he wasn’t saying anything, but I guess he was waiting for the right moment. “Since you are hanging with her, she is your responsibility to watch out for.

“Yes sir.”

“Also, when and if her powers come in notify me. We don’t want another recap of Rhella.” I give him a nod and head out the door.

Walking down the hall I see a picture of Rhella on the wall. She’s wearing a long dress with ruffled sleeves. Her long black locks glide down her back into the floor. I sit on the bench and observe her.

Rhella was the Queen of Nygaard in the 1800’s. She was married to the then Alpha, Bernulf III. She was also the 10th human to ever be mated to an Alpha King. Most of the women before her that were Zatitniks were good woman. They used their powers for good, whereas Rhella didn’t. She was looking for revenge.

Before Bernulf was King his father had tribes of humans killed to take their land. One of the tribes were Rhella’s people. In fury she swore to seek revenge on those who hurt her people. Years later she found out her mate was the Kings’ son, Bernulf. When his father died, he became King and her Queen.

She loved him truly, but also had a hatred for him. Her powers were so strong that she was stronger than him.

She wanted to end the Pergola line, that's the Royal Family of Nygaard, so none could live on like her people.

She killed all the people's families who had a hand in killing her tribe and others also. Once they were all dead the people who were left came for her head.

We looked to our Kingdom and help from The Kingdom of Vermeer, in south America, to help take her down.

With all the might in their bodies they finally killed her. Ever since then there hasn’t been a Zastitnik, until Quinneth. We don’t know for sure if she even is one, but it could happen.

As I keep on thinking my mother comes up to me and sits down next to me. “What are you thinking about son?” She asked clutching onto my hand.

“Do you think that Quinneth could turn out like Rhella?” I asked her.

“Well, Rhella was in a different situation than Quinneth is. Rhella had a motive, does Quinneth have a motive?”

“She has pain inside of her. What if that pain turns to anger and destruction?” I say with a worried tone.

“Tell me of her character.”

“She’s kind, witty, smart and beautiful. She listens to me when I talk and gives good advice.” I say looking down at my hands.

“There you go. She is nothing like Rhella you said It yourself. Everything will be fine my son, the future is uncertain.” She pats me on my shoulder and kisses the top of my head. Walking down the hall I see her figure disappear.

I lay my head against the wall, my mind running amuck.

Thank you so much for reading this chapter!
