“How can you be her sister?” Atticus growls, stepping up to my side.
Zatrina, cool name by the way, looks at him with her head tilted to the side as if she’s seeing more than his face, “Well, let’s see; when two people bang each other, there’s this thing called a climax—”
“Okay, okay,” I place my hand on Atticus’ forearm, stopping him from losing his cool, “we know how children come to be. I think what we—what I want to know is, how did we not grow up together and you said, ‘one of your sisters’, how many more do we have?”
Zatrina doesn’t answer, her eyes are on my hand which is still holding Atticus’ arm. I forgot I was still touching the man, so I quickly let go. Zatrina’s eyes lose their narrowed look a second before she answers.
That’s interesting,I silently tell Roman, who I’m positive noticed the possessiveness in my sister’s eyes.
I feel him rumble in our link as I pay attention to Zatrina, “I was never exactly sure if what I know is true but seeing as they knew where you were and what every step you’d take, I’m guessing it’s all true.”
“Who’stheyand what do you mean they knew her steps.” Roman growls, wrapping his big arm around me like there’s an enemy nearby and will attack any second.
“The coven you call theDark Bloods, perfect name by the way,” Her haunted ashy eyes look at me and in them I see the hollow shell of her soul, “many years ago, well before we were born, Werewolves were created after a feud began between the original Coven of Nine Witches, and a family of humans in ancient Russia. The human family was three friends and their wives. The fight was about the family’s hunting dogs attacking and killing the sheep of the Coven. The ridiculous feuding was taken to the village counsel who obviously voted in favor of the humans; that’s when the Witches cursed the family, thus creating the first Werewolves. We know these original wolves as theAncients.”
Okay, so she’s not telling us anything we didn’t already know, but we don’t interrupt her.
“But there is always a consequence to using dark magic on humans, and it’s called theAncientProphecywhich says the Sons of the Ancients would rise in time. They would find their true fated mates and their powers would combine. Once the six of them are fully mated to each other, this ultimate power of theirs will be a threat to the Witches, more specifically, the Coven of Nine. But I don’t think their true intent is to kill them, I think they want to combine the sons with their mates in a controlled environment, so that they can steal this power for themselves. Control the mates, and you control the power.”
All of us are completely transfixed on Zatrina’s faraway eyes and her eerily monotone voice. Even Case is latching onto every word my sister speaks, while Atticus folds his arms across the chest as if he’s holding himself still.
“Sons of the Ancients. Born of magic and power, these boys would one day become men, men who were prophesied to be the Immortal Alphas or theTrue Alphas. The Witches hold grudges for centuries. They knew that through the mates of the Alphas, they could have their revenge,” Zatrina stares at me in the eye, forcing me to hear more than just the words coming from her mouth, “if they could find the mates before the Alphas, they could have the Sons of the Ancients in their pockets. After all, it’s through them that all wolves live amongst each other so well. If not for them, there’d be no packs.”
