SWNOVELS Chapter Being a Rogue
Lycious uses the phone at the used car dealership to call for someone to pick up he beloved vehicle. Then I use a trick I knew to make the human believe it was a different name and all that on Lycious's license to register the truck. It was an old pick up with a cab. The space may be tight, but with the roads here and wherewe were going through next, one of us can sit in the bed. If anything the person could cover up with blankets as well.
Dracula came back and had filled the rest of the space in the trunk with some money for the different countries we will be going into. How he got it all, we didn't ask or complain. He suggests I stay in the cab and Lycious drives because he isn't a fan of driving anyways.
"Before we go, let's make sure our first part of the route and be sure on some nicknames. Your names and nicknames are too obvious if used in public." I grab for a map while I speak.
"Well, I can be Aleksander. What about you two?" Says Dracula.
"What about Dimitri?" Lycious looks at us.
"I like them. We will be in a thick Russian territory so they will blend in." I reply, thinking about a name like their's for me.
"What about Nina for you? Its simple and fits you." Dracula mentions and I agree. "How do you know how to do all of this stuff anyways?"
"I was rogue for four years." I replied.
"You can't be that old though and I thought you said your brother was an alpha." Lycious says.
"I went rogue at 14. I had to leave and honestly, it has prepared me for this. Now, before you ask, I left because I was raped by someone I saw as family. It's how my son who Henry was raising came to even be born. My past is my past and I realize without it, I wouldn't have the knowledge and strength as I do now." I say while finishing our first bit of the route for today. "Let's try to reach Vinnytsia in Ukraine tonight. We should sleep in shifts between Drac and I while you, Lycious, sleep. You can be our designated driver for now. Let's head out." I say, I have realizations of many things going on in my head. I am a rogue again, for the time being. I am not alone, the two first brothers are with me. I never even imagined this to be my fate.
Anca's writing keeps me busy on the drive. By the time we hit Ukraine, I had another book down. In the third one, I took major interest. It was info about werewolf spells. She spent time cleaning up Lycious's mess a lot and figured out how to rip the wolf from the person. It didn't end there. The spell would put a control on the person to make them act whatever way. In the wrong hands this spell could be horrible, but I could use it in Theo's case and make him be a better mate and father. Some of the things unread that Lycious did in his youth was unsettling.
"Is it true? You really would turn children, even babies?" I ask looking up at him driving.
"She wrote about that? Yes, I really wanted to make a strong army and my brother was out there, making his own. I mainly aimed for orphans and placed them with adult wolves in my pack I had made. It wasn't perfect, but our numbers were not the best and I figured that if I got them young, they would grow to be stronger. The females weren't having many children and the children they did have weren't always surviving. It was when I took an orphan from some vampires that started our first war actually. Not my finest moment in my life, but I do not regret it. I learned from it instead. When I met my wife, my pack started having so many children, I had decided that my children would lead their own packs. I do regret some of the wolves I did sire. I brought them to Anca to help me fix my mistakes. I don't know what she did, but usually the next day they were outstanding humans doing right." He continues to look at the road with glances at me here and there.
"She wrote about it in here. I should be able to do it too. I think I will use it on the man who raped me. He has a mate now and a handful of children. They deserve to have him still, but a better version. I won't allow anyone else to get ahold of any of these spells though. My main fear is that it's already rumored that this spell even exists! If anything, say it's an ability only I have. Not even my children." That had my mind wondering. "I do have a question. Will I out live Ryanne? If I am supposed to be immortal, would I out live him?"
"No, he's half Nephlem. His mother was once an angel. He was taken to their world, which means he is able to use his angel powers. From things I was told by Lily, he is a form of an immortal as well. You two could live forever like we have. Every specie is different though. Since he is wolf and nephlem, he may end up out living his wolf and become pure nephlem at some point. While you, you will keep your wolf, vampire, witch, all of it. You are a First. Your kind is something different." He responds and assures me.
"Next question. Koray, my son, is he nephlem as well as demon? If he is, is it safe to go to where he is. Can't they use him?" I hope they would leave such a tiny child out of things.
"This is Michael. It is hard to imagine what he would actually do. Sometimes other archangels would say he was more cruel than his brother Lucifer. Basically, we would be leaving it to chance, but I wouldn't put it past him to use a child." He says looking sadder. Well, then Koray will stay where he is and I won't go near him.
