Days later, nothing changed. Leo did not leave his room neither did he talk. He was sulking in the fact that things were not as they seem. He was pained that his mother that he trusted so much did something like that. Rose tried her best to comfort him but he was not moving.
The door squeaked open and Damien and Ciara walked in. They looked at the condition Leo was and saw how worse it was.
“Leo, you can’t keep doing this yourself. I understand that things were not as they seem. Heck, you never knew that you were never a product or even a symbol of the love between them but you are an Alpha. You must take your stand and fight this. You can’t keep sulking.” Ciara said with a worry lacing her features. Rose breathed out when she saw that he did not reply.
“Jeff…” Damien did not complete what he wanted to say when Leo stood and lunged for Damien. The females yelped up in shock.
Damien and Leo started thrashing around. Giving each other punches when their chance comes. Rose and Ciara were yelling for them to stop but it was not ending.
Leo stood up and shifted while Damien shifted also when he saw him. He did not want them to ruin the room as it was already ruined. He flew through the door and came out on the training ground.
Leo chased him and came to screech when he saw Damien. Pack members all stood watching them. Ciara had called Damien’s parents including Hudson who also shifted in order to protect their Alpha.
“Back off, Jace.” Damien’s wolf, Cayden, ordered him through the mind link.
“I have to protect you.” Jace said. Damien almost rolled his eyes.
“I can…” The words were caught up in his throat when Leo jumped on him. Damien pushed him off him and barked at him.
“If you want to fight, be fair.”
Leo quickly recovered from the push and went back to attack him. They kept rolling around, biting and scratching each other. When Derrick could no longer take it, he shifted into Klaus and howled for them to stop. They were both forced to stop since it was their dad. Leo climbed off Damien and his breath was ragged.
They both shifted back into their humans and one of the numerous pack members ran towards them with a blanket.
They took it and wrapped it round their waists. Derrick shifted back and collected the short from his wife.
Leo strode into the pack house while they followed after. Hudson had dismissed the pack members.
“I remember my aunt mentioning something like Alfraine… What is that?” He asked.
“Alfraine is a not a what, it is a place… She is a witch from Alfraine. We met in a bar.” He explained. So his aunt had gone back to meet the other witches there for a cure for his mother and that was also where his aunt disappeared to.
“So you were under her spell?” His voice came out croaked. Derrick nodded his head positively.
“So you never loved her? So all these was a lie created by my mother?” He asked, as if talking to himself.
He exhaled. He cannot keep dwelling on the past. He needs to move on and forgive his father. He looked at Derrick.
“I am sorry. I have always blamed you wrongly. Hated you wrongly. Please, forgive me.” He begged his dad. Derrick looked at him with an half smile.
“I did not blame you or your sister. I am sorry also for not letting you know what you are.” Derrick said. They both stood up and hugged each other.
“That was one easy reconciliation.” Hudson whispered but they could all hear. They chuckled.
Damien’s mother held Derrick by his hand. Derrick turned around. Ever since they found out about Leo and everything, she has been distant from him.
“You are used to people blaming you whereas you should have just said the truth.” She said and hugged him. Derrick held her close to him. Rose walked towards Leo.
“How do you feel?” She asked.
“Better than some hours ago.” He answered with a smile.
“We need to clean you up.” Ciara said, gesturing to both Damien and Leo’s injured bodies. They nodded their heads and Ciara went to get the first aid box.

Hours later, they all sat down, talking about how their lives have been.
“I will love to meet Leticia.” His father said. Leo looked at him and sighed.
“I doubt if she knows what we are.” He said.
“She did not shift?” Derrick questioned.
“No, she did not. At least I would have known.” Leo replied.
“How possible is that? Tell her to come over. We will find out.” Derrick suggested. Leo nodded and took his cellphone. The phone rang for some seconds before Leticia’s voice came through.
“Hey, big brother.”
“Hi, Leticia. How are you?” He asked with a smug look.
“I am fine, I came over to your apartment but it has been rented out to people then I decided to give you a call but you were unreachable.” She said.
“Hmm, about that… Leticia, can you come and meet somewhere?” He asked.
“Sure. Where?” She asked.
“I will send you a cab. Make sure you bring more clothes.” Leo said and she answered with hum.
“Okay, talk to you later.” She said and hung up.
“So she is coming?” Ciara asked.
“Yes, hell is about to be let loose.” Leo joked and they all chuckled.

Three days later, Leticia came out of her house with a small suitcase. She saw the can waiting for her.
“Good morning, Miss.” The cabman greeted and she answered.
“So where are we going to?” She asked but he did not reply. He ignited the car engine and drove off. She scoffed.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She knew her brother must have been the one to tell him to not let her know. She scoffed and relaxed on the chair.
Four hours gone and she was yet to get to the place. “Where did my brother said you should take me to?” She asked.
“Miss, please exercise some patience. We are almost there.” The cabman said.
She sighed.
Then suddenly, the car came to an halt. She looked around. It was more like woods.
“Is my brother camping here?” She mused.
“You can come down, Miss.” The cabman which happened to be Hudson said. They both came down and Hudson led the way. Leticia kept looking around.
“Where is this… OMG!” Her lips went wide at the the building before her. The pack house was standing firm there.
“This is magnificent.” She said and Hudson chuckled.
“Let’s go.” He said and she noticed the change of tone.
“Wait, you are not a cab man?” She said and jogged over to him.
“You expect an handsome man like me to be a cab man, really?” He asked and she rolled her eyes.
They both walked into the house.
“Wow, this place is…” The words were caught up in her throat as she took in the set of people that sat down before her.
Leo, Rose, and…
Suddenly, her eyes shone brightly with a blue color, and a mist formed in her right hand.
“What is this man doing here?” She snarled out of sudden anger and threw the mist at him but before it could get to Derrick, Rose stood up as if on cue and summoned a purple mist on her left hand. It neutralized Leticia’s green mist and everyone gasped.
Rose just… She has witch prowess.
