28 The Truth

(Storm's POV)

"What?" I asked. For some reason I started to laugh."Me..haha...a..haha...prince...hahaha" I said in between my laughs. I put my hand on my stomach because it started to hurt from laughing.

After about a couple of minutes, I slowly stopped laughing when I noticed Jack had a serious face. "You have got to be kidding me. Are you serious? How in the living hell can I be a Prince?" I asked. Jack let out a big sigh and asked "Do you remember the story I told you when you were younger?" I thought about it for a moment and then shook my head. I literally have no fucking clue of what story he is talking about.

Jack let out another big sigh and began to tell the story. "Centuries ago, there were two kingdoms. The Werewolves, and the Vampires. Two great rivals, constantly at war and hate with each other. One day the princess of Vampires ventured out into the great forest that separates both kingdoms. Just then, a wild boar, the size of a horse, came running from the underbrush straight for the princess. The princess didn't move, accepting her fate, when a wolf as large as the boar jumped from the darkness in her defense. The wolf growled at the boar and attacked"

"The wolf won, but wasn't left unscathed, it turned and met the princess's gaze before limping away. The princess however refused to let it go with those injuries. With her enhanced speed, she chased after it. Finally after hours of searching, she found it lying on the floor. A pool of its blood surrounding it. She went up to it, the wolf opened one eye and stared hopelessly at the princess. Her heart broke for it and she began healing his wounds. In the middle of the Wolf's rest, it started to glow and shift."

"With a gasp, the princess found it was the prince of Werewolves that saved her life. Even though she should have felt fear or hate, she didn't. All she felt was love and adoration for the man. The princess caressed his sleeping face gently, at the touch, the prince woke. He realized he had shifted and was about to run away when the princess begged him not to go. He obeyed and looked deeply into her eyes. He felt himself slowly fall for the compassionate Vampire before him."

"They moved closer to each other, wanting to touch and feel each other. Once they did, each of them felt a heat they've never experienced before. The prince heard his wolf howl in delight, while the princess felt her blood and fangs start to pulse with happiness. They stared into each other's eyes for longer, knowing what these signs meant. Mate. The happiness they felt was short lived when both of their bodyguards found them."

"The guards were ready to kill each other and the opposing royalty, but were stopped by each of their masters. They were confused until they saw the joy in their eyes. Realization hit them, and both guards felt great pity and sadness for their masters. What they wanted could never be fulfilled, each would know this soon enough. Both guards looked at each other then back at their masters. They sighed and decided that they needed to be separated before anything else happened."

"The prince and princess were pulled away from each other, but they yanked away from their guards grip and ran to each other. Wanting to feel each other's touch again, they embraced each other and kissed. The prince and princess were quickly seperated again. They fought with all their might, but they couldn't compare with the strength of their guards."

"Once they were both sent to their rooms, they were filled with melancholy and depression. Their will to see each other was great, but it was too much that it blinded their common sense. They went into the forest again, unaware that the princess was followed by the King, and the prince followed by the Queen. Once they saw each other, they ran to one another, blind of their parent behind them."

"The king saw the prince run towards his daughter, his rage consumed him and he threw his dagger towards him. The Queen tried to warn her son, but it was too late. The knife sunk deep into his chest, and he fell onto the princess's arms. When she saw her lover land on her, she felt as though someone had killed her. The prince, with the little life he had left, whispered to the princess, 'I love you' before exhaling his final breath. The princess howled her grief into the air."

"Both King and Queen were shocked by the display. Her son had said I love you to a vampire. His daughter is crying for the death of a werewolf. The princess grabbed the knife inside her mate and took it out. She smiled at her prince and whispered back, 'I love you too'. Before the King or Queen could react, she held the knife up in the air and stabbed it through her heart. She collapsed next to her lover, she sighed her final breath and died with a smile.

"Both King and Queen felt grief for the death of their child's death. When they looked at each other, they made a decision. To make sure this would never happen again, they made an alliance to each other. After they both agreed to each other's terms, they spoke a blessing to their children. 'May in your next life, be together once more.' with that, they buried them in the very same clearing they met and died. Each generation from then on, the prince and princess have met and fallen in love."

"The children of these two mates will be raised in darkness, but soon they will find the happiness his real parents have felt, and so it's child will have the same love."

"So wait hold up. You mean to tell me that Storm is the reincarnation of the prince?" Athena asked after Jack ended the story and Jack shook his head. "He is not the reincarnation of the prince. His father is, his real father." he answered and I grew confused. "Wait my real father?"

Jack face palmed himself and cursed under his breath. "Yes Storm your real father. The man that abused you when you grew up is not your real father."

I looked at him in disbelief. "w-what?" I said as my voice suddenly became hoarse. "I'm sorry son, but it's true. Your father was kidnapped by Alpha Blade, the man who abused you, because he was in love with your mother." he then said. "Wait if my dad was the reincarnation of the prince that means that my mother wa--" I couldn't finish my sentence because he continued it. "Was the reincarnation of the princess."

I was totally dumbfounded at this point. "Your mother and father were together and she got pregnant with you. When Blade had kidnapped your father and she had no clue why he disappeared, she was devastated. She didn't know how to raise a child on her own. So Blade took her in and cared for her. He loved her, but she didn't love him. The day she gave birth to you, she had found out about it and he...had her killed."

At this point I couldn't help but let the tears fall from my eyes. Athena started to rub my back and said "maybe we should stop." "NO!" I snapped at her. I looked back at Jack and asked "What about my father? What happened to him?". ".....Well as far as we know he is still alive and still is being held captive. We are looking for him at the moment but can't find, but hopefully we will know soon." he answered.

"If my dad was the reincarnation of the prince and my mom was the reincarnation of the princess, then what the hell am I?" I asked. "Since they were the reincarnations of the prince and princess and they gave birth to you, you are indeed a prince. Now because you are half vampire and half werewolf, you are the strongest of both breeds and the rightful heir to the throne."

I honestly could not believe what I was hearing. My father is alive. The man that abused me in my childhood had my mother killed. Me a prince. A whole bunch of emotions are coursing through my body all at once. Love. Anger. Sadness. I need some time to process.

I got up from my seat and started to walk to the door. "Storm where are you going?" Athena asked as she rushed over to me. "I need to go for a walk." I answered. "Well here let me go with y--" I interrupted her and said "NO!.... no.... I-I need to go by myself." I walked out of the house and just ran into the woods.
