The Alpha King Stubborn Mate

'A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify for usefulness and happiness. The storms of adversity, like those of the ocean, rouse the faculties, and excite the invention, prudence, skill and fortitude or the voyager. The martyrs of ancient times, in bracing their minds to outward calamities, acquired a loftiness of purpose and a moral heroism worth a lifetime of softness and security. Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. Courage is always greatest when blended with meekness; intellectual ability is most admired when it sparkles in the setting of modest self-distrust; and never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive any injury.

0000 REVEALING THE TRUTH 0000

"Does it relate to the secret I asked you not to tell me yet?" Rae asked not getting her grandmother.

Lillian nodded her head in answer.

"Then I am still not ready to hear it granny." Rae said.

"No my child, it is better I tell you the secret than to allow someone else find out and hurt you." Lillian said, now that Tamara is hell bent on finding out Rae's secret, it is better for her to tell Rae everything about herself right now to avoid things in the future.

"Okay granny, you can tell me the secret." Rae said finally.

Jason stood up from his seat and stretch out his arms dramatically. "I better be going." Jason announced loudly.

"And where do you think you are going?" Lillian and Rae asked at the same time.

Lillian turned to glare at Rae who raised up her hands in the air.

"I wasn't trying to mimic you grandma." Rae said with a little smile.

"Better." Lillian said and return her gaze back to the white haired boy. "Again I ask, where do you think you are going?"

"Home, you want to tell Rae a secret so I figured it out that I am not needed here." Jason answered with a shrug. "I will come again when there will be no secret to tell."

"I hope I won't regret this." Lillian whispered more to herself. "Seat down Jason, you helped me by telling me about the disguise of Tamara, so you are not going anywhere." Lillian ordered and Jason sat back without arguing.

"What I am about to say must not be said anywhere, only the three of us would know about this secret." Lillian said and look at Jason. "And Jason I trust you won't reveal whatever I am about to say to anyone, not even your mother or father, unless you don't value the life of Rae like I do." Lillian said with a serious warning.

"I won't tell." Jason said, as far it's Rae he would do anything not to hurt her.

"Swear by the thing you value most Jason." Lillian said expecting Jason to swear by his life, but he did the opposite.

Using his right hand to hold his white hair. "I swear on my hair I won't tell anyone."

Lillian rolled her eyeballs at him. "Is it your hair you value most or your life?"

"I value my hair more than my life, I am a phoenix remember, we die and come back to life."

Lillian snorted loudly.

"I am serious old woman, I value my hair the same way I value Rae so don't snort at me, you are not the only one who could do that." Jason said with a raised eyebrows.

"Granny he has given out his word and if he goes back on it, I will personally barb his hair like I did to Antonio, the witch school librarian whose long hair is bald and wouldn't grow again." Rae giving Jason a smiling warningly.

"Okay." Lillian finally said. "I would love to start the conversation here but like I said to my friend a thousand years ago, the walls have ears, I don't trust Tamara, she might still be lingering around here to listen to the secret." Lillian added. She spoke a word and a door opened right there in front of them. Standing up her feet she gestures to Rae and Jason to enter the door.

Getting up to their feet, Jason entered first followed by Rae and finally Lillian who closes the door behind her.

Darin saw the large grin on his son's face when he walked into the room, he was nicely dressed and was combing his hair.

"What's making you grin so much son that a maid isn't combing your hair?" King Darin ask alerting his son about his presence. "You have been happy since the past few days, what's the secret son?"

"Haven't I told you anything father about what happened recently?" Dean ask his father as he went towards his bed and sat down, Darin doing the same.

"No you haven't told me. All you did these days is grin and smile to yourself so today I couldn't bear it anymore, that is why I am here." King Darin said.

"It's about the girl I told you, Rae." Prince Dean said with a smile.

Nodding his head. "Yes, what about her?" King Darin demanded.

"I collected her house address from Kate and went to her house, I lied to her that I needed her to teach me some of her skills in fighting which she agrees." Prince Darin answered his father. "Isn't it great father?"

"It is great son, but how could training with Rae makes her fall in love with you? I still maintain what I said before, tell me who are parents are and I will visit her myself and ask her parents for her hand in marriage to you." King Darin said as if it was the easiest thing to do.

"Not yet father, I need to win her heart first when we train, but if it does not work out, then I will use your suggestions." Prince Dean said.

"Okay, do whatever you wish to do, but at least tell me the names of her parents." King Darin said.

"She is living with her grandmother, I think her parents are dead and I won't tell you her grandmother's name, you will go behind my back to her house." Prince Dean said.

"Okay son, do let me know whenever you want me in." King Darin said. "So it is her house you are going to dress like this?"

Dean nodded his head and answered him with a charming smile. "Yes father, I can't wait to see her beautiful face once again."

"Oh." King Darin said getting up to his feet. "Then if that be the case, let me leave you to what you are doing."

"Thanks father, oh and please tell one of the maids to get me some flowers." Dean said.

"No problem son." With that he left his son chamber.

Tamara appeared in her cave, livid with anger as she started destroying things around her.

She has been disgraced by Jason and Lillian in front of that little girl.

"With the look on your face and the way things are here, I see your mission to the girl house proved abortive." The water man said behind Tamara making her still.

She turns around and greeted him.

"It didn't go as I expected my Lord, I would have been successful if not that Jason chooses that moment to come and he and Lillian saw right through me. I was disgraced in the mere presence of that little girl." Tamara said.

"This little girl you speak of, seems like a special one, right?" The water man asked suddenly interested.

"I am suspecting her to be my Lord, all I know is Lillian is hiding the identity of the little girl." Tamara said in anger as she remembers her humiliation.

"Well that is not why I am here, Hermes sent me a message to tell you." The water man said pushing off the little girls thought to the back of his mind.

"And what did he tell you my Lord?" Tamara asked.

"The gods are preparing to come down to earth soon." The water man finally revealed.

"But they can't come now, we haven't even gotten your bones nor the powers yet." Tamara said in shock.

"I know, that is why we are going to hasten our plans, we have to kill Roen and collect my bones from Tharollin."

"But did Hermes said when they will be coming?" Tamara asked.

"No, they didn't tell him, I guess they want to pay earth a surprise visit but before they do that, we shall be the one to surprise them."

"So the plan now is to kill Roen, right?" Tamara demanded.

"Yes, but I know it won't be that easy since Jason will be involved." The water said after a thought.

"But we shouldn't be afraid of Jason."

"I am not afraid of him, if I were to be human with my bones, I will push him out of the way since." The water man said, "But hope is not lost yet, I will come up with something like I always do. See again soon Tamara" The water man added and disappeared, leaving Tamara alone who return back to her anger.

She carried the pot she had used to make the potion and threw it on the wall of the cave, it crashes to pieces when it made impact with the wall. She had taken hours to prepare the potion for her disguise and it took Lillian few minutes to break her spell.

That is why she hates her sister with passion, she wants to kill Lillian for this disgrace but couldn't.

Tamara knows she isn't that strong like her sister Lillian that is why she and her daughter needs Lucifer bones.

The door opened to another hidden room, the same room she had taken Avonmora too 1,000 years ago.

"Sit." Lillian ordered and made three chairs appeared in the middle of the room, she sat on one and gesture with her hand on the other empty chairs.

Jason and Rae sat down, they were looking around them in awe.

"Rae you are not a witch." Lillian said finally and that snap Rae eyes to her quickly in disbelief.

Jason was staring at Lillian as if she had grown two heads.

"What did you mean by that, I am a witch grandmother." Rae said and snap her hand making fire appeared at the tip of her fingers. "You see, I am a witch." Rae added with a disbelief voice.

"No you are not, let me rephrase my words back, You are not born a witch and I am not your grandmother, we are not related." Lillian revealed the more.

The sudden laughter heard in the room was coming from Rae.

"Granny, are you okay? Did you hit your head elsewhere?" Rae asked staring at her Grandmother. "Please do not say anymore."

"It's true Rae, your mother, your real mother pleaded with me to protect you before she was killed." Lillian said.

"I know about that Story grandma, how my parents came to visit you and on their way here, they died but I managed to survive in the gashly accident as you tore my mother's stomach to get to me, you saved me granny or rather like you always say, the gods saved me." Rae pointed out.

"I know I told you that, but they are lies to cover up your real identity Rae. Your mother told me to call you Rae." Lillian said. "Remove that bracelet from your wrist."

Rae did as she was ordered, she removed the bracelet from her wrist entirely and waited for any change to come but none did. "It is removed granny, why am I still the same?" Rae asked.

"Removing it won't make you change, it makes you not have witches powers." Lillian replied. "Now, re do the fire spell again and see for yourself."

Rae did and was shocked when nothing came out. She tried all the spells she knows but nothing came out.

"What is going on granny, why can't I do magic?" Rae asked Lillian.

"Now put on your bracelet and do a spell with your fingers." Lillian said slowly. All these while, Jason was quite observing what was going on in front of him.

Rae did as she was instructed. Her eyes widen in shock when her fingers tip went on fire at the snap of her hand.

"What is going on?"

"I told you, you are not a witch neither are you born as one. That bracelet prevents strong powerful people from knowing your aura and also to make you perform magic. I gave you that because the old bracelet magic has faded, that was what Jorkallun told me that night he was here." Lillian explained.

"I don't understand." Rae said holding her head with her hands as Jason gently place his arm across her shoulder, trying to comfort her in his way.

"I guess you should start from the beginning, for Rae to understand you better, I understand what you are saying but not Rae." Jason told Lillian.

"Okay, I once had a friend who was betrayed by her soulmate and that betrayer caused her life. It was her soulmate who had opened the Gate of Darkness." Lillian said.

"But what has that got to do with 'starting from the beginning'?" Rae asked.

"A lot Rae, because this friend of mine that died is your mother." Lillian finally revealed.

"Hold on, are you trying to say, the man who had open the Gate of Darkness and betrayed Avonmora, is Rae's mother?" Jason asked in surprise.

That name sounds familiar to Rae but she couldn't place where she had heard that name before.

"Yes Jason, I take it you read the books you were supposed not to read, right?" Lillian asked looking at Jason.

"Yes, that is how I got to know about Avonmora." Jason replied.

"Who is this Avonmora? I think I have heard that name before." Rae asked looking at her grandmother and then Jason, waiting for one of them to speak.

Just a heads up: FindNovel.net is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

"Remember that day you told me Sarah took you to the back of the school, where you met a frozen woman there, in front of the Gate that was opened a little bit, remember?" Lillian asked.

Remembering the frozen lady, "Yes I remember now." Rae said before her eyes widen as she gasps loudly. "Hold on a minute, you mean to say the Avonmora Jason just spoke about, who is my mother, is the frozen lady I met in the front Gate of Darkness?" Rae suddenly demanded.

"Yes Rae, for once in your life, you are correct on this one. Avonmora is truly your mother, before she was killed, she came to meet and confided in me about her pregnancy, which your father refused to believe her. I removed you from her womb with my magic and placed you in here." Lillian said and a finger of hers made the gesture of come. A ball which looks to have burst and looks more like nylon appeared in their presence. "I put you in there and waited until it's time for you to burst since you have his blood running through your veins, though, it didn't take a thousand years for it to burst open and you were born."

"Why would my father not believe my mother when she told him about her pregnancy?" Rae asked.

"Because, his side hardly bares children. I wouldn't blame him child, he did that because of what they believe." Lillian said.

"I need to understand something, if the man that opens the Gate of Darkness is Avonmora's mate, then he is Rae's father?" Jason asked Lillian. "Yes Jason."

Jason placed his hands on his forehead.

"What is it Jason?" Lillian asked.

"If truly she is their child, then she is the last mermaid that I will sacrifice to close down the Gate of Darkness forever."

Lillian eyes widen, she had totally forgotten about that.

"Remember your promise Jason, you won't tell anyone about Rae." Lillian said with her teeth closed.

"I know, just because I now know who really Rae is doesn't mean I will go back to my words, I won't allow any harm to come to Rae." Jason said with seriousness. "And for the record, I don't believe what Tamara says." Breathing a sigh of relief, Lillian nodded her head. "Thank you Jason."

"I don't understand what you both are talking about? Who is my father and my mother and why will I be used as a sacrifice by Jason?" Rae said bringing her Granny's attention back to her.

"Your mother is the Queen of the Mer-folk kingdom before she was killed alongside with her people by Tamara to close down the Gate of Darkness. The Gate didn't close as expected and she said before the gate will close completely, we will have to sacrifice the last mermaid." Lillian said. "And your father, is the Demon King which makes you a hybrid. The gods then made a prophecy which fall on Roen, that was why he was made the king of all Supernaturals." Lillian explained further. "And I was the prophecy, I was born to sacrifice the last mermaid, which is you." Jason concluded for Lillian.

"So am a mermaid and a demon, half and half?" Rae asked looking at her legs expecting to see a tail and then looked at Jason. She hits him on the head, though not hard. "The day you will try to sacrifice me, I will cut you into tiny pieces, do you hear me?" Rae warned.

"Ouch, your hand hurts." Jason said. "Trust me Rae, I will never sacrifice you because I Love You, I will protect you." Jason said promising himself to do that.

"I am counting on those words Jason." Rae said with a smile and lean to kiss Jason on the lips before staring at her grandmother. "Even though we are not related, you are still my grandmother." Rae added.

"Thank you Rae, thank you." Lillian smiled.

"So how can I see my mermaid form." Rae asked brightly imagining herself in her mermaid form.

"When you both kissed, that was half of your transformation." Lillian said and stood up from her chair and went to meet Rae, touching her throat, a white tiny ball came out of Rae's throat into Lillian's hand. "This is the main hidden spell that hides your mermaid side."

Lillian hardly finished what she was saying when a bright light surrounded Rae.

When the light faded, Rae saw herself falling to the ground but before she could touched the ground, Jason was holding her in her waist.

"Fascinating." Jason whispers in wonder as he stares at the rainbow tail before looking at Rae to tell her how beautiful she looks when he stops once he made eye contact with Rae. He couldn't move as he stares at Rae, his soulmate, he has imprinted on her.

(I explained this before in chapter 2

When a shape-shifter, a Wolf, imprints on a specific girl or woman, he becomes unconditionally bound to her for the rest of his life. When it happens, the experience is described as being gravitationally pulled toward that person while a

glowing heat fills him, and everyone and everything else in his life becomes secondary, and only the imprintee is left to matter, leaving the shape-shifter with a deep need to do anything to please and protect his soulmate. It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like... gravity moves... suddenly. It's not the earth holding you here anymore, she does... You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend.)

Rae eyes locked with his and she couldn't tear her eyes from him. "My soulmate." Her rainbow eyeballs shiny brightly as she muttered those words..

"My Mate." He growled out the words possessively as his wolf takes over, his white eyeballs changing to midnight black.

Lillian mouth hung open in shock, she wasn't expecting that.
