The Were CEO's Secret

Chapter Seventy - Rarest Creature.

Maybe he should shift. The wolf-fox advanced to give him his second slam to a wall. His body was almost breaking to different parts.

"Keon, maybe we should... you know." He strained to say, rising to his feet.

He wasn't sure what Keon could do against the monstrosity in front of him, but it'd surely be better than his old school method of running and dodging. "Francis!" a small voice called, just as Nathan nearly gave Keon his way. Nathan fell back on the ground.

It was a woman, she rushed, coming in front of the creature. "Francis! Please, it's mommy!"

"Mrs. Carlos, please go...!" Nathan started but paused when heard 'mommy'.

So Garcia really had a brother? And he was a hybrid wolf-fox? How did he never know about it.

"The boy is from our clan, perhaps his father was your uncle." Keon noted. Nathan doubted it. The boy wouldn't be Garcia's mother's child.

He never remembered her being pregnant, but just had a son suddenly. Also, her husband left them for a while before he died.

The creature quietened down and shifted back to a slim naked boy, shaking due to the cold. His mother covered him with a blanket and ran off.

Just when Nathan was about concluding the woman had left him to de, she ran back with a stretcher. She and her son brought him back to their house.

He wasn't badly injured, it was healing already but he had to tell Keon to slow down his healing to make it believable.

"Thank you." He mouthed, as he stretched on the couch, were he was placed him.

Mrs. Carlos exhaled, nodding. "I am so sorry about today. Could you please not tell the Alpha about this?" she fondled with her bracelet. Nathan nodded. "I won't. You have my word."

Him agreeing without hesitation, made the woman feel better. "Thank you again then." She left to get treatment for his arm.

Nathan studied the boy sitting far from him, he was pale, he may never had seen the sun. Which would be explanatory for someone like him. He inched towards him but the boy backed off, with teary eyes. "I'm sorry. My sister was right about shifting, I wouldn't be able to control it." Nathan stayed in quietness besides him. That's how it were for all were creatures. Not being able to control the excitement or animalistic urge.

He wasn't different. He thought of ways to make the boy know that he understood without giving out that he was also like him, partly.

Wiping His tears off, he made eye contact, "Francis, right?"

The boy nodded.

"I'm Nathan."

The boy's eyes shone hearing the name. "My sister speaks that you're nice. And the Alpha's brother." he said the last part with renewed fear. Nathan nodded, exhaling. "But I'm not werewolf so I feel out of place sometimes, like you do."

The boy relaxed again. "I am a WolX, a wolf-fox." He gave a tight smile.

"It's cool. You're also the rarest creature alive."

No one had ever made it sound awesome. Being a hybrid had never been awesome. Francis' eyes sparkled looking at Nathan.

His mother returned to the room and began treating Nathan's injury. "If the Alpha knew of him, she'd kill him."

Nathan frowned at her words. It'd cause Francis to feel fear and hatred for his sister. "She won't know then, no one shouldn't tell."

"I'd never tell. She killed my whole clan, she'd kill me as well. If I had been with my clan I could have been a chief of something, but she wiped us all off." Francis protested bitterly, for a moment, he forgot he was scolding Nathan's sister. He realized and stayed calm in his seat.

Nathan smirked. "What makes you think you'd have been a chief of your clan?" Keon scoffed at the boy's words.

Francis sighed. "I don't know. My mom was the leader's younger sister, the leader's son died so I guess I would have been?" Nathan shrugged. Being chief may hold some titles but he didn't need it, the kid could have it. "How do you know this?" "My mom wrote letters to me before she died."

It immediately clocked in Nathan's head. His mother was the chief's sister. He was the chief's son. Francis was then his cousin?

He cut the boy's other words. "How did your father meet your mother?"

Francis stared blankly, how could he know of their meeting? It happened before he was born.

"Kira." Mrs. Carlos said. Nathan turned to her.

"The vixen was Kira, she was a princess. She seduced my mate in a bid to make sure her species didn't go extinct." The woman narrated.

"I hated her for long but I understood. I was willing to raise her child as he reminded me of my mate. Also, he was Garcia's only sibling." She left after she was done.

Nathan felt the pain in her words. Watching another woman take your mate wasn't as easy as it sounded. It was an emotionally torment. Francis chirped. "My mother should have mated with a human. I'd have been half human, half fox. It was better."

Nathan rolled his eyes. His mother wasn't dumb, she knew of such possibilities. But she was a werefox, a very smart one.

She knew her child would be accepted by the kindhearted Mrs. Carlos and she also wanted her child to have the strength of an Alpha wolf. She probably hoped for her son to avenge against Luciana, and with the hatred he had for her, he was on his way to.

"So Francis, how about you come with me around town, I'm buying supplies for the war." He offered. "I'd bring someone you'd talk to."

He wondered if he should Reina along since was Jarma's mate and had a habit for swooning for any male.

But then the male she swooned for was her mate and it would be better for both she and Francis to talk with someone around their age. He realized Francis sad expression. "My scent, it is easily noticeable."

Nathan shook his head. "No, my boy. I know of a powder that can hide your scent, I'd introduce it to you before you tour with me."

He knew very well on how to hide scents since he had been doing so for years.

"So prepare, early tomorrow, I'd pick you up. We'd go tour around and you'd tell me more about you."

Nathan was still speaking when he felt hands around his body. He looked down and saw the boy hugged him.

He suppressed the urge to hug him back. "It's nothing. I know it's boring to stay at a place for 'protection'. My sister did it to me, I'm human."

Francis released him and wiped the tear that ran down his cheeks. "No one ever took me out." He smiled. "I look forward to it, really."

"Look forward. You're the rarest creature. You deserve a museum or something."

The boy laughed. His heart was warm.

She had been scared but grateful about the tour. He assured her nothing would go wrong.

"Goodnight then. Sleep early. Tomorrow is a big day!" he waved, walking out of the house.

The boy ran back to the door. "Yes, I'd sleep early. Bye and thank you!"

Nathan closed the door, he exhaled and started his stroll back home. Still within Mrs. Carlos's house, he sighted Garcia walking to the house.

If she was here, the elders would be back soon.

He rushed to her. "Guess what?"

She was stunned seeing him leaving her house. Her eyes fluttered aggressively. "You've seen my brother and would tell Alpha?" Nathan frowned. That wasn't even close to what he wanted to say. "Not that."

Garcia's lips parted on realizing she just hinted on her brother being something the Alpha wouldn't want to know about. She looked down. "But I know your brother is a hybrid.. no, a WolX." He smiled. "And I think it's cool, really."

Garcia looked up. "You won't tell Alpha?"

"No, I'm taking him out tomorrow. And yes, I have it covered. But I want you to apologize to Stephanie or you lose your job."

She brushed her hair backwards. Did he hear her right? "That's a joke?" It was less a question and more a finalized statement.

"Well, if no, I'd use someone else as my model after I resume. I could use Francis, Reina, oh or Coral." He smirked when her face contorted. Garcia's fist balled, and she raised them. She saw her brother watching them from the window. She brought her hands down. "Since you're being nice to my brother, I'd be nice to your girlfriend." She tsked. "I'd apologize, and she better accept it." She brushed past him and stomped inside.

"Bye!" Nathan waved again, seeing the boy from the window. He waved back with sparkling eyes.
