(THE BRIANS HOME)
Lika stood in front of the full length mirror in her room with a towel wrapped around her as she studied the mark on her shoulder "ahhhh... a touch not mark" she continued to touch it.
"Prince Kai comes in now" the messenger said and left. Kai majestically walked in, fully dressed in a royal way as he joined his dad, step-mom & stepsister at the dining table but he doesn't know that his real mom is not the lady sitting opposite him & the person that is called his sister is not sharing the same mother DNA with him
"good morning mom & dad" he said as he sat down opposite his step mom (queen Alwina) and beside his step sister ( princess kara). Kai seemed to have lost his appetite for the food, he politely stood up & left.
"what is wrong with him" Alwina asked
"maybe he's not in the mood " Gary answered
"Mom, Kai has already grown up...he can decide his own feelings" kara said
"No kara...he's still my boy" Alwina stood up & left the dining room.
Alona(alyssa) came in & see's her mom reading a magazine
"aren't you too old for that"
"Alyssa, I'm not old for anything"
"it Alona, mom please call me Alona. we changed my name & face for people not to know that I'm alive"
"I gave birth to Alyssa, you have the body, spirit, & soul of my Alyssa but the face is that of the dead long gone lady and your real face was buried with that stranger"
"mummy!! "
"I'll go check on my grandson" the old woman stood up and left and returned almost immediately.
"Adrian is not in his room" Alona asked due to her mom's puzzled look and the old lady smiled "he will be fine "
"mother, why is it that you feel relaxed when your grandson is missing" old Paris sits down on the sofa
"Adrian is old enough to take care of himself"
"I see, so that's the reason why I should let him be" old Paris nods
"I'll prepare for your sister's visitation" Alona said as she enters the kitchen.
"you know what Alyssa, I do feel like a mother during those years I raised my little sister"
"so what Is the moral lesson" she asked with a smirk and looked at her mom
"I do feel like throwing you on the streets"
kai heard a knock on the door and he said "Red card to the guest "
"Kai, it's your mom"
he angrily sighs
"come in mother"
Queen Alwina enters and goes to sit beside him on the bed
"Kai darling"
"Mom please..not now" Alwina sighs
"what was your dream this time"
he smiled at her
"I was expecting that" she smiled
"well this time mom, it wasn't my reflection only but a white wolf. I saw another at a distance and it suddenly turned into a lady that I've never met before and the wolf in my front kept staring at me"
"I don't know what to say kai"
"me too mum, I don't know who those two are" Alwina sighs, stands up and leaves the room.
Adrian was sitting down on the sand watching the way his friend kept throwing stones into the water"
"Adrian stop looking like that, Is your wife having a baby"
Adrian smiled
"you look like a panicked father to be"
Adrian looked away and smiled, imagining what Gabriel said
"so you do want to be a father"
"it's no big deal"
"no big deal! you're crazy"
"my grandma would be so happy..but if I want a child but not with Violetta"
"really"
they turned to the direction
"Oops" Gabriel says
"so who is the lady that would be the mother of your kids" Violetta asked
"I don't know" Adrian stands up to leave
"Adrian, don't you dare" Adrian looked at her "you've forgotten, i can destroy you"
"destroy me.."
he reduced his tone
"I'm a wolf and you, a common human that i can kill you and throw you into the sea if I want" he says and walked away
"Adrian"
there was no reply, she turns to Gabriel "gab"
"Violetta..don't involve me please" he ran to meet Adrian and they both laughed at Violetta who was fuming
"you really crushed her"
"I had to..she needs to know that she can't boss me around"
"I love that" the boys high5ved
"I HATE THEM" Violetta says to herself
"we too" Adrian shouted "I heard you" the boys ran away
"they are annoying" violetta say
lika enters the kitchen to prepare something for herself when one of the maid's entered
"miss Brian, no no no that's wrong. your mom will be furious "
"but I want.."
"miss Brian no...that's why I am here and so also the other maids "
lika gave a sad expression
"OK can I help"
"no..but you can settle down with a cup of coffee " lika nodded and goes to the coffee maker, the maid went to the refrigerator
Gabriel pulled up in the driveway, they stepped out of the car and started laughing
"I hate to see Violetta angry but she needs to learn" Adrian says & Gabriel sighs
"do you love Violetta" Adrian was stunned with the question and he looked at Gabriel but couldn't reply
"so you don't"
"I never said it Gaby..i just don't know" he says moving towards the house.
"you confused bro..get some rest" Gabriel says as he entered his car and left while Adrian watched
"you've not answered the question" Adrian jumped in fear and turned
"grandma"
"give me a hug tiger" he hugs his grandma happily
"you know I don't really like Violetta"
"I know tiger and i don't really like her. she won't be a good wife"
"MOM!" the two turned to see Alona coming towards them and Adrian frowned
"Mom, why are you always getting Adrian to do things he ought not to do"
"Like what" Adrian and his grandma asked in unison
"I don't know"
"then you have no point my dear" Adrian followed his grandma inside happily after giving his mom a wink.
Violetta angrily stormed in and went to her room
"I won't ask you Violetta, it concerns Adrian" James says after putting a chip in his mouth and she came back
"Adrian insulted me"
"I knew he would someday"
"James, are you supporting him"
"well maybe I am little sister" James says laughing at Violetta
"why do you hate me so much"
"I don't Violetta..but you need to learn some lessons, you're too bossy" he looks at Violetta
"pass me the onion dip & chips" he did before leaving the sitting room.
Princess kara sits on the swing with her favorite maid
"Jenny..what do you think is Kai's solution"
"a girl he can love"
"sometimes I think Kai has a black heart and soul"
Jenny looked at her
"your highness" she lowered her voice "you are the only one I'm telling this. prince Kai's mom is different. she died the day he was born and your mom became the queen and his dad's wife a year after" Kara gasped
"so we aren't from the same mother"
the maid nods "princess Kara, my mom was queen Alyssa's favourite maid back in the days, so she has princess Alyssa's diary and knows her secret"
"really"
"yes my princess..but I shouldn't be telling you this, it was queen Alyssa's secret"
"she is also my mom"
"as you wish my princess"
kai was strolling around with his horse when he suddenly halts and looks around..
"you know what buddy, there's so much question to ask, like, why is my blood black, why is it that no one has ever told me the reason why that certain door in the palace is locked" he touched the hair of his horse before coming down
"I want to be a white wolf..just like kara and mom. Black is ugly, white is pure" he looked around "should we go into the kingdom ruled by a white wolf family" the horse made a sound and he smiled
"let's go kion" Kai climbs on the horse "let's go" he hits the horse and they rode away "whooooooooooooooo..i feel on top of the world" kai shouts happily and a stranger dressed in black was watching.
"so you telling me that some years back, two babies were born whom were Kai and his twin brother" the maid nodded
"my mother helped the midwife to hide the first twin and they only presented kai"
"and"
"the queen died, but my mum and the midwife stole her body from where it was kept and it was replaced with another. They made sure no one knew about it. thanks to my mom's wolf blood, Queen Alyssa woke up and my mom died after when I was born"
"I'm sorry Jenny" Kara says & Jenny smiled
"please tell me more Jenny"
"actually that was all I knew but I read queen Alyssa's diary"
"of course..its in my things, kai has a black blood"
"WHAT!"
"shh..only you, me and his majesty knows about prince Kai's blood"
"my brothers blood is black..why "
"it's normal when black & white mix 2geda" Jenny said
"uhn uhn, it's normal for you to get married to any specie or mate" Jenny nodded & said "And... "
"and there's nothing more"
"there is something more, it's wrong for a white wolf to be turned to a black wolf most especially women, ladies or girls"
"so.... "
"that was what your dad did, he turned princess Alyssa to a black wolf before she became pregnant. She went back to her family and with the help of her friends, she changed back and it affected one of the babies in her womb, which wasn't kai"
kara was stunned
"do you think my dad did it on purpose"
"no one knows" Jenny smiled
"he did it, that man is over ambitious"
Kenny smiled and said "princess kara"
"i've told you, call me kara. my God I hate when I'm being called a princess"
"OK kara.... "
Adrian came in with a towel tied round his waist "just had a bath, don't look confused" he said to his mom as he opened the refrigerator
"MILK" Adrian happily said as he brought out the bottle of milk & cereal pack
"so, is that what you want to eat" his mom asked
"Are you expecting me to stuff my stomach with legumes like you mom" his grandma smirks
"I'm not a vegetarian or a man on diet" he smiled "my son's weird" Alona says
"you're too bossy Alyssa" her mom says "just like your father" Alona sighs in frustrationand watches as Adrian served himself
"never tasted that before" Alona says and Adrian looked at her
"not offering a spoon mom" he says and carried the mix bowl to his room
"who will clean this up" "you can, you're sweet and loving" Adrian says and completely left.
"you spoiling him badly" the old lady grins
Lika sat on the mat with her horse tied to a tree as she helps herself with the arranged food and then she sees a horse approaching and it halts immediately the rider saw her
"peace wrecker" she thought, the rider comes down and walked towards her direction with the horse loyally following him and lika repeats in her mind "peace wrecker" when he bows and sits beside her without asking, she frowned
"Hello" kai greets smiling and lika says to herself "he's good looking"
"excuse me"
"I wasn't talking to you Mr.."
"call me prince Kai" she laughs
"such an arrogant bastard" she thought
"ok ok, call me kai" she calmly smiled and nods "join me..you must be starving"
"of course" she passed the basket of food towards him "thank you ma'am"
"it's lika, call me lika"
"thank you lika" she smiled at him and he stretched to touch her hair
"it's beautiful"
Mrs Debby Brian finally came out of her room and she stood at the staircase
"lina" the maid came running in
"where is lika"
"gone for a picnic in the woods"
"with how many escorts"
"two ma'am and her horse" lika's mom heaves a sigh of relief before coming down
"make me a strong black coffee..not actually In the mood to eat" she says and goes out
"of course madam" the maid leaves
They were both lying down on the mat and staring up
"tell me about you lika"
"Why do you want to know"
"well, you've already known my name. I'm 19 and would be 20 in the next three days"
"that's wonderful"
"my dad left home five years ago and hasn't returned"
"sorry about that" she smiled
"it's not your fault"
"I have no sibling or step ones. my mom refused to remarry, she also told me that I'm bonded with someone or something"
"so who is the one or thing"
"I don't know..and I have a mark on my body"
he sighs
"Free talker" he thought
Alona was watching the tv when she heard a fall
"Adrian" she runs to his room and meets him on the floor
"my love" she carried him up "talk to mummy, Adrian pls. Don't leave me" her mom entered and she looked at her almost lifeless grandson
"he's here"
"who's here" Alona asked and her mom left the room
"mom, Adrian is dying......Mom"
Kai was feeling uncomfortable and he stands up from the mat
"are you ok" lika asked
"yes, no, i don't know"
He says looking around "who's there, i said who's there" the two maid that followed lika came out
"sorry sir, we were just checking on Miss Brian"
"kai, there is no one here" lika says and he sits down back
"lika, i need to go" he stands up again and climbs his horse
"see ya" he says and left
"he's handsome Miss Brian" said one of the maids and lika smiled
"I've found prince charming"
"you right miss Brian" says the 2nd maid
Kara sat on her bed and was reading queen Alyssa's diary
"she's so beautiful" Kara said looking at the picture she found in the diary
"if she's alive, then where is she" she thought to herself "only the midwife can answer this, but, oh my God" she heard a knock "who's that"
"kara it's your dad"
"one minute"
she quickly hid the book and the pictures "come in"
her dad entered
"Kara, how are you" she looked at him for some minute before answering
"very fine dad"
"where's kai"
"how do you expect me to know your majesty" then he went to sit beside her on the bed
"Kara, what's wrong with you"
"nothing, i look fine don't I. If you don't mind dad, i really want to be alone"
"if you say so, just know that that I love you" he then stood up from the bed and left
"phew..devil behind human mask"
Alona held her son's with tears in her eyes as she watched him battle between life and death and then her mom entered
"Mom, what is happening"
"calm down baby" the old lady brought out a syringe with the needle
"mom what's that mixture"
"black blood with the mixture of white wolf blood" the old lady injected Adrian. After some seconds he was trying to breathe
"mom it's worse"
"no my dear" he shuts his eyes again and then became calm
"Mom..is he dead"
"no Alyssa..just sleeping"
"like a dead person!!"
The old lady pouted
"I hate doing anything for you"
old paris threw the injection into the dustbin and then left the room
"MOM!" Alona stood up and followed. A
minute after, Adrian opened his eyes and was looking shocked
"why am I on the bed, what happened to me" he then stood up
Old Paris was coming into the living room with her daughter's company of questions
"where did you get a black blood, who has a black blood in the wolf kingdom mother"
"Alyssa,et me be, I'm begging you"
"no mom, not until you answer"
"Alyssa..suit yourself but I've got no answer to that question, Alyssa no answer"
Adrian came in
"Mom, grandma..what's wrong"
"nothing tiger" his grandma said and led him back to his room
"Mom, don't leave me here"
"well she's leaving you" Adrian said winking at his mom who is frowning
Kelly took a book from the shelf and went to sit down, just then Kai and Kara entered
"hello Royals" Kara snorts "being a princess it's like hell on earth"
Kai laughed
"your sister is really odd" Kara changed to a wolf "k, don't pounce on him" kai said and Kelly was halfly laughing, Kara was slowly transforming back
"can I get a towel"
"yea sure" Kai said "you should have thought well before transforming" he took a folded towel from the small cupboard and he covered her before she changed back completely
"how does it feel to be an Alpha" Kelly asked and she smiled standing up after tying the towel round her body
"are you trying to make me smile"
"yes"
she smiled
"come on kelly, Kai wants to be alone"
"are you trying to drag my friend away" kai asked
"yes brother, where have you been"
"yes where" kelly inquired
"the trees that separated the four kingdom"
"doing what" Kelly asked arms akimbo
"well.." he said as he remembered lika's smile
"you've won a female lottery ticket brother" "you right kara"
"tell us about her" Kelly said as he went to sit down and Kara followed suit after removing her tiara
"it's like story time"
Letta sat outside staring into the darkness
"you ok" James asked as he joined her but got no response, he pinched her
"ouch, James, that hurts"
"like the way your heart does"
She sighs
"James not now"
"if you want Adrian, you've got to get him. Change your attitude. Adrian loves you, so why don't you treat him like a Prince Charming"
"you right james" she pecked her brother "you've not done that in years"
"you deserve one this night" she said and entered the house
"I'll forever remember this cheek kiss violetta" he drinks the scotch in his hand
"this is good" he said and she shouted from inside
"James are you drinking again"
"no Violetta"
