Chapter Chapter Eighteen (Homecoming, pt. 3)
“Carson?”
My eyes flew open as I had been taking a brief nap when I heard the voice of my father (or brother) Iain as he (now dressed in a midnight-blue tuxedo) stood over me. “Oh. Sorry, I was resting my eyes for a bit,” I yawned as I sat up on the bed. “I was deep in my thoughts when I must have dozed off.”
“No need to apologize,” Iain said as he sat down next to me. “Listen, son- or little brother or whatever you feel like you want to call me and your other father and brother.”
“How about I just call you Dad for now?” I suggested. “I know that we’re also brothers and whatever, but I still tin of you as my father since you are older than me.”
“True,” Dad agreed, though he was only a few years older than me- like he was in his early thirties. “Anyway, your father/brother and I never got the chance to get to know you when you were a baby. And throughout the years when you were placed in the Four Aces pack, Archer and I never stopped hoping that you were alive and safe. We also knew that the people who took you in were going to be good to you, even when most of the pack wouldn’t feel the same way. I could honestly say that Harvey and Delia were like the foster parents that you ever wished for and that Alpha Ciara was the best sister that you had.
“What broke my heart was how the rest of the pack- save the ones who had compassion on you, the young pups that you never met, and those who didn’t know- saw you as dead weight and wanted you out of their lives. They even went as far as brutally beating you to death. And when that boy- that wretched little fool named Regan Zallenda- made the mistake of rejecting you and wanting you to die by his hand, I knew that he was not only a piss-poor candidate to be the next Alpha of this pack- thank Goddess that Harvey saw to it that Ciara would be the Alpha Female instead of her brother, I knew that you had to get out of there. But by the time that we finally found out where you were, you had performed the Soul Conversion and were in a comatose state.”
I sighed, feeling a little ashamed of what I had committed. “I’m sorry for performing the ritual,” I replied. “I just felt like I had no other choice since I had a nasty feeling that he planned to have his team hunt me down and kill me.”
“And I don’t blame you for that. At least you had some semblance of normalcy while living your days as a human and being a beacon of hope for Gia and her daughters before they died in that car crash and you were in a coma. Still, Archer and I were devastated and were ready to tear into Regan. But you knew that it was our Mother’s job of dealing with him and setting him straight. And by the end of it all, you had come back to us and were blessed with a new start,” Dad replied. “Now, I want to make sure that Archer and I get to have every second that the three of us get to establish a bond not just as the three Moon Wolves and as brothers and sons of the Moon Goddess...but also as a family of two dads and their son.”
“Well, I’d like that,” I replied. “Though right now, since we both can pass off as college kids, we both look a lot like best friends and lovers.”
Dad chuckled before his face flushed. “Well, that’s one way of putting it,” he said.
Wait, what did he mean by that?
Before I even knew it, I felt the lips of my father AND brother brand my own as he and I were currently in a lip-locking session that had my soul lit up in an astonishing blaze of glory. And though it was only a brief kiss, it was one that I had a feeling that would never leave my mind.
“Looks like the two of you already began to establish the bond.”
I whirled around to see the bemused face of our Mother- the Moon Goddess herself- in her wedding-day-inspired gown as her hair glowed with the sunlight. “Whoa,” I breathed. “Uh, I-”
Mom laughed, her voice as musical as the sound of a rush of wind chimes. “Be at ease, my child,” she said. “I am only here to see that you are now a thriving young man who is blessed and loved by many. And if I know any better, you have more men to love you for you- including your two fathers.”
My eyes went wide as saucers. “Wait, you’re saying that-”
“Yes, my child. I am saying that I had created my three Moon Wolves- my three sons- to not only be rulers of the supernatural and as brothers- but also as mates alongside the Elite Eight,” she said with pride. “I’m sorry for hiding this from you earlier, but I needed you to learn at your own pace since I knew that you were still recovering from the void and the coma.”
“Well, that’s one thing I’m grateful for,” I replied, which made Dad- er, Iain (since he’s now also my mate)- and our mother laugh. “I mean, I’m cool with it, but at least you could’ve tried to leave me any clues of what to expect.”
“I couldn’t take a chance since many might still see you as weak before you came back to the living,” Mother replied. “Anyway, the time has finally come that you are to be presented to the supernatural world with Iain and Archer as the Moon wolves- the Trinity that will set things right once and for all and claim the throne as Kings of the Supernatural. Are you ready, my child?”
I took a deep breath, already feeling the nerves inside me starting to calm down. “I’m as ready as ever,” I replied.
***********
“Tonight, my children and allies of the supernatural, we welcome home a young man who was broken and beaten by an unworthy mate that wanted all Omegas out of the world and to rule with evil in his heart. My son Carson has been through hellfires and brimstone before being placed into a coma that was caused by a car accident that took the lives of three young witches whom Carson showed his affection as a friend and a surrogate father,” the Moon Goddess said as we all congregated in the great hall of the Zallenda Manor where everybody was dressed to the nines. Alongside myself and the Elite Eights, Iain and Archer were at the top of the stairs with her as she spoke to the crowd who were lost n her words.
“Three days ago, Carson chose to come back to the land of the living and assume his rightful position as not only the Young Prince of the Werewolves but also the future King of the Supernatural since he and his fathers are the Three Moon Wolves- my main children whom I created to be brothers, fathers, and sons, and...lovers and mates to the Elite Eight,” Mom went on, making the crowd gasp in awe and excitement. “They will be the ones to lead the supernaturals and our allies to greater heights. And once my sons have mated, they will take the throne and help you all be better selves.”
“Long live the Moon Goddess!” the people cheered wildly, raising their glasses in a toast. “Long live the Moon Wolves! Long live Carson!”
The Moon Goddess motioned me to join her as I took in the happy faces of all of my rulers. “So, Carson. how does it feel to be a part of something greater than what you expected?” she asked me in my ear as everyone began to dance to the music. “You are now home, alive, and blessed by myself.”
“I know, Mom,” I replied. “I once felt like I wanted to dissolve into the skies of the night, to escape from the pain and the tears I had to cry. But now? I want to stay here and embrace my destiny.”
She turned me around to face her and stare into her moonlight-colored eyes. “I know,” she replied. “I love you, my child.”
“I love you, too.” And just like that, she soon disappeared as I was now approached by Fianna and Ciara. “Ladies. Thank you both for everything.”
“Wow,” Ciara exclaimed. “Your dads are now your lovers too?! Talk about a surprise! I should be calling you Alpha as well.”
I smiled widely. “No, girl. I’m still calling you my best friend,” I replied. “And since you’re a leader f the pack, I’m still calling you ‘Alpha Female.’ No need for me to have a swelled head.”
We all just laughed as the girls led me to the floor and down to where the food was set up. And right then... I knew I was home at last... where I belonged.
Interlude (A Vow for Revenge)
They think that they can end my twin brother’s life.
They took from him the one thing that can make sure that people like that BOY are meant to be erased from society.
And while my twin brother- my mate and co-ruler- is in hell for what we thought was right and what needed to be done, his whore of an adoptive sister is ruling the pack that should’ve been his; three fags are now ruling the werewolf kingdom and one of them is supposed to be the perfect sacrificial lamb, and those Eight Dimwits are a part of what will be the biggest thorn in my side.
I should’ve joined Regan by his side and made sure that the runt stayed dead- ate all of Carson’s insides myself and defecated on his bones.
Regan and I should’ve been the ones to run the supernatural world with iron fists- gotten rid of all those faggots and Omegas so only the strong can live while they and those humans and Hunters rotted in hell for all eternity.
And now, I’m still stuck in this dungeon because I was the only holdout (all the rest have been given full pardons and were restored their original roles in the Four Aces pack). This was some major bullshit right here.
But no matter.
I’ll bide my time and lie in wait. I’ll let that Carson brat live in peace for a year or two. But as soon as he’s pregnant- no doubt he will be since he’s still an Omega who can give birth to pups- and he’s lost in the fluffiness of being a future parent... I’ll make my move and claim him as my own. He does look delicious that’s for damn sure. And while Regan was a jackass for rejecting him, I can be the one to show him that I always get my way and yet be a REAL mate to him.
Because my name is Ryan Corwyn Zallenda- the bastard twin of the Four Aces and the Dark Wolf of the Rogues. And I plan to get my revenge and honor my brother’s request-- dethrone the faggots and be the evil ruler I was destined to be once and for all. And Carson will be MINE!
Get ready, Carson Hadley, my sexy Moon Wolf. Because soon... I plan to fuck you real good and give you my pups. And as for those other pathetic freaks- your dads/lovers/brothers and those other eight buffoons...
All bets are off!
