White Wolf Hybrid
Chapter 34~ Mom’s Back!

Alexis’ POV~

I am beyond pissed.. and I am not even sure what I am pissed about but I know it isn’t good. Opening a portal, we stepped through. I stormed myself to the center of the village.. yelling for Prudence, and Gloria. As before, Pru came out acting happy we were there.. “Where’s my niece? I would have liked to see her” and I grabbed her by her throat.. stomping my way to Gloria’s cottage.. dragging Prudence with us, I slammed all the doors on the cottages to keep everyone inside.

Slamming Gloria’s door open I threw Prudence into a chair… then shoved Gloria into one beside her. Restraining them both.. I sneered “Tell me! Tell you fucking did not kill my mother! YOU TELL ME YOU DID NOT MURDER YOUR OWN DAUGHTER!! What did you use? Botulinum? Cyanide? Arsenic? No.. no.. it was all three! You used all 3, didn’t you!? You better fucking start talking.. and trust knowing, I can tell when you’re lying. When did you learn the King was Olivia’s true mate? What possessed you to approach the Queen? Because,, I know it was you who had to initiate contact. She’s too stupid to figure it out. Who is going to go first? Try anything stupid.. know.. my mate, and my father will not let you survive the night!”

Prudence started “Gloria only wanted you to die. Not Olivia. The ‘vitamins’ were first given to her when she was pregnant with you. It was easy to use a persuasion spell.. reiterated once a week, using one of your mom’s hairs. We convinced her she would die without them. She needed one every day. No matter how we tried, though.. the spell would not work.. either on convincing her she had to force you to take them.. or on you..to take them voluntarily.. like Olivia did..” and I slapped her. “She never took them voluntarily you stupid bitch! She was spelled!”

I stood in front of my grandmother “You disgusting waste of space. How black must your soul be to murder your own child. Talk to me… you are the one who went to Juliet. You are the one who gave her the poison to kill my father. Were you that jealous? Of a love so good..so pure.. you had to destroy it even further than fate had? Start talking..or lose your tongue!”

She spit out “You know nothing! You don’t know the struggle witches grew up with! Murdered in their sleep.. hunted.. slaughtered by wolves who can never understand the purity of magic! Olivia wasn’t supposed to die! You were! Your father was! I still haven’t figured out what happened there. But, if I had to guess I would have to put it down to user error. That woman is stupid. She never even entertained the notion the king completed the mating with Olivia. She told me it wasn’t possible. Her body would have been in excruciating pain if he had betrayed the mate bond. See? Ignorant bitch! Stupid! And YOU! Come in here with your sanctimonious attitude! You know nothing! You are a freak! An abomination! A fucking sideshow attraction!”

I grinned. An evil, sneering smile. “Be that as it may.. your opinion counts for shit! I may be the first hybrid of my kind! But I am not the last! More are coming! And I believe we have the reason I was created. To bring our two species together, as a whole! To educate each other about our existence. To live in peace. In Harmony. Daddy? Blake? Please bring these two outside. Arielle has already reached out to Athos and Aramis. As first wolves.. we summon the Goddess. She will determine the fate of these two dark witches. Tie them to the stakes.. while we await Selene’s presence. But first, I must get Aunt Helena.”

I stepped through the portal in the apothecary and told Helena and the girls what was happening. They had to come with me now.. if they want to say goodbye. We all returned through the portal and Helena walked straight to her mother.. slapping her hard , she hissed “Murderer!”

I summoned all the witches and sorcerers to the center of the village. “After tonight, a new High Priestess will be appointed by Hecate herself! Gloria has besmirched her soul by murdering her own daughter! Prudence has done the same… by aiding in the casting to make certain my mother died! They conspired with the dowager Queen to murder the King of Wolves! All this.. in an effort to prevent the survival of the very first wolf/witch hybrid! They failed… but they still murdered one of your own! They murdered the next in line High Priestess, and that… THAT… cannot go unpunished!”

A flash of light.. so bright we all turned our faces. I stepped between my mate and my dad. Knowing things were about to get a little ugly. Dark witches didn’t go quietly.

Hecate steps to Gloria. “You were my pride! You were born with a heart so pure I was sure nothing could taint it! What a disappointment you are! “ Turning to Prudence “Have you ever had one original thought in your head? Other than syphoning your daughter’s power.. teaching her to do it to others.. Have you ever actually had a single thought?” Alexis is right! You are BOTH wastes of space! When Selene and I leave today… I will be taking the Book of Dark Arts with me! Do either of you have anything you wish to say, before we pass judgement?” They both defiantly shook their heads and Hecate whooshed her hand. They were both engulfed in flame.. Hecate saying “Hades welcomes your blackened souls. Never to be reborn!”

Then she turned to Helena.. reaching for her hand. Helena took it and their hands glowed and Hecate spoke loudly “Your New High Priestess” and they all went down on one knee!

Selene and Hecate joined hands.. and stood facing Blake, Loren and myself. Selene spoke “Loren.. You are a great man. A great king! When the witches took Olivia’s life… they interefered with fate. As Goddesses, we are allowed to correct that kind of mistake.. if we so choose. We believe you and your daughter deserve to be rewarded..” and they parted looking behind them… Walking from the forest line… into the moonlight.. was Olivia Morris. My mother. And while my father hit his knees kissing the Moon Goddess’s hand, I ran.. like my life depended on it and wrapped myself in her arms… she kissed my head.. my cheeks.. my nose.. wiping my tears, she whispered “Shall we go rescue Selene?” And we both giggled. Walking back to Dad, Mom stopped and smiled. He yanked her to him and buried his face in her neck.. he whispered, nearly inaudibly “Sooo beautiful!”

We all hugged Hecate.. and when I turned to Selene she held her hand up “ We need to talk. This war is coming.. sooner than we thought. Especially now. Hecate and I did something.. in order for Olivia to remain in this realm.. a soul has to return to the underworld, in her stead. And, No.. before you ask.. the two souls that left were fated to go. We decided we would take Juliet’s soul back with us. Loren and Olivia will be able to be fully mated and marked. Uniting the two species irrevocably. Loren…you will retake the throne.. with a witch as your queen! All of you! Prepare for resistance!”

And with that, they were gone! Helena and my mom were in each other’s arms.. my father wrapped his arm around her waist.. and Blake lifted me up, as we stepped through the portal to our home!”
