CHAPTER NINETY-SIX.

  Bella looked at the sleeping boy on the bed and exhaled for the umpteenth time that morning. The moment she told little Alex he wouldn't be going to school that day, he got so excited and went to bed immediately after taking breakfast. She had been excited about their departure to wall street pack until he crossed her mind.

  Alex was brought to the human world since he was a newborn and they never spoke about the werewolf world to him. They had kept it a secret since they had no idea when they were ever going to go back home. He had no idea they were werewolves and that he was a future Alpha. She was scared of how he would react when he would go to the pack and meet people turning into wolves. He was definitely going to get really scared.

  She wanted to tell him all about the werewolf world, but she had no idea where to start, so she was waiting for Achilles to return so they could tell him together. She only hoped that once they did, he wouldn't get too terrified and try to run away from them. That would hurt her a great deal.

  The hours flew by and soon, it was noon. Bella jumped up from the couch in the living room when she heard Achilles' car drive into the compound. She had been seated with young Alex who had gotten up from sleep and was watching TV.

  "Mummy, is daddy back?" Alex asked with a smile and Bella nodded.

  "Yes baby, I'm gonna go and welcome him okay? You wait for us here." She cautioned and he nodded his head with his eyes glued to the TV. He was watching his favorite cartoon and could care less about what his parents were doing.

  Bella rushed to the door and opened it up and a joyful smile formed on her face when she saw Achilles walking towards the main door. She instantly closed it and rushed towards him for a hug.

  Achilles calmly hugged her and kissed her forehead.

  "Welcome home baby."

  "Thank you, love. How have you been?" He asked as he broke the hug and stared down at her worried face.

  "I've been very worried."

  "What about?"

  "About Alex. We've never told him about the werewolf world or the fact that we all, including him, are werewolves. What do you think his reaction will be when we go to the Wall street pack and see people shapeshifting into werewolves. He will definitely lose his mind!" Bella cried nervously and Achilles chuckled. "Babe!" She called in annoyance as she playfully punched his chest with her fist. "It's not funny. We have to tell him."

  "Then let's go in and do that." He urged with a smile, but Bella was still frowning. She was greatly annoyed by the fact that Achilles was not worried about the situation at all. "Come on love.". Achilles urged and she immediately barged into the house, leaving him behind.

  Achilles, who was already used to her drama, just shook his head and followed her into the house. When they both got into the living room, Achilles smiled on seeing their son seated on one of the couches, watching his favorite cartoon.

  "Alex, look who's here." Bella announced.

  "Daddy!" Alex screamed the moment he turned and saw him and instantly jumped up from his seat and rushed towards his father.

  Achilles picked him up from the ground and lifted him high up in the sky before taking him into his arms and kissing his forehead.

  "Welcome home daddy."

  "Thank you sweety"

  "You are home early today." He pointed out as his father carried him to the sitting area and put him to sit on one of the sofas before taking his own seat.

  Bella, who was following them closely took a seat as well and little Alex immediately felt that something was wrong. He looked from his mother to father utterly confused.

  "Mum, dad, is everything alright?" He asked worried.

  "Of course honey, why'd you ask?"

  "Well, I'm not sick, but mummy didn't take me to school today and now, you are back home early. We are all gathered here in the living room at noon on a normal school and work day, this has never happened before." He pointed out and his parents weren't surprised at all.

  Alex was a very smart kid who paid attention to detail a lot. He took note of the least change in routine and anything that happened around him.

  "Well…" Achilles spoke out as he inched closer to the worried looking boy. " You are right honey, this has never happened before. It's happening right now because we have something very important to discuss with you."

  "Something important?" Alex asked looking from his mother to father.

  "Yes, something very important."

  "Does it have to do with Aunt Diana's visit?" He asked aghast.

  "Um… not entirely, but yes. It has got to do with your aunt Diana's visit."

  "What's wrong daddy? Is aunt Diana in trouble?" Alex asked worried.

  "Well… you can say that. Your aunt Diana is in a very difficult situation right now and we all have to go and render her some help where she is." He explained and Alex began nodding his head.

  "Ahh…"

  "Yes honey and there's something you need to know about yourself, about your mum and I and about the people in the place we will be going to."

  "What's that? Daddy?"

  "Have you ever heard of the word, werewolf?" Achilles asked carefully and both he and Bella were stunned when Alex instantly nodded his head.

  "Yes, I have. They are people who can transform into wolves and have some special powers, right daddy." He asked and Achilles was taken aback with shock.

  "Uh… yeah. That's true."

  "You and mummy are werewolves, aren't you?" He asked out of nowhere and Bella instantly choked on her saliva. She coughed hard as she exchanged confused glances with Achilles before looking back at Alex, who was staring back at them innocently.

  "How… who told you that?" Achilles asked aghast.

  "I've seen you turn into a werewolf a few times in the yard, daddy. You always run into the woods and return several hours later." He explained.

  "Oh my goodness, Alex. Were you terrified when you saw me do that?"

  "No, I felt normal. Mummy, daddy, am I a werewolf too?" He asked looking from his mother to father and they both looked at each other once more. Bella nodded her head, urging Achilles to tell him everything he needed to know.

  "Baby." Achilles called as he carried Alex from the sofa and placed on his lap to face him. "Your mum and I come from a world made of werewolves only and that's where you were born."

  "So, why are we here?"

  "Well, problems brought us here. A lot of problems."

  "Is aunt Diana a werewolf too?" He asked.

  "Yes she is?"

  "Did she come to announce that the problems were over?" Alex asked yet again.

  "Well, not really. You see, back there, I'm like a king, but the people annoyed me, so I took you and your mummy away from them and brought you here. But now, things are getting worse, so I have to go back and solve the problems as the king." He explained as simply as he could and Alex nodded his head.

  "So, when are we leaving?"

  "Aren't you scared?" Bella asked, worried.

  "Scared of what? Mummy?"

  "Werewolves."

  "But I'm a werewolf too, why would I be scared of my species?" He asked and Achilles immediately engulfed him in his arms and kissed his hair.

  Bella was still shocked at how easy that had gone. She had expected Alex to be afraid, but he had just proven that he was indeed a future Alpha.

  Just as bold and fearless as his father.

  "Get the rest of the things ready, we leave in two hours." Achilles instructed and Bella immediately left the living room.

  Both father and son stayed in each other's arms until it was time to go.
