Chapter 146
“Nancy?” Brittany spluttered, clearly the only one able to say a word since everyone else was rendered completely speechless, almost mortified.
But all her attention was fixed on Daniel.
“I don’t understand… Why? Why would you let them take her? She wasn’t one of us, but was she willing to join them? Was that what she wanted, or did she have no choice p>
Daniel rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to act nonchalant, but he was vibrating with so much emotions inside, it was clear he was desperate to know what was going on, why was Nancy overreacting so much to her disappearance? Yet he didn’t want to admit it was his fault.
“Why wouldn’t you say anything?” Talia lashed out at him, and everyone was silent as they all looked up him, the fire crackling, sending small sparks drifting up, towards the sky.
“What do I say? That my mate was a Kitsune? And no matter how much I tried to make things work between us, I guess I was just too proud to actually do anything p>
Everyone’s reaction was different in speculation to what he just said. Some jaws dropped, John choked on his own saliva, and Nancy’s eyes widened.
If not for the fact that they were In a serious situation, a smirk would have crawled up her lips. How unpredictable fate was! Alpha Daniel in a way was related to Alpha Koan as a brother-in-law, while she… well the masked Omega who made her the birthday cake, was her sister-in-law.
Sighing, she went over and sat down next to Daniel, sandwiching him between she and Brittany while Liliana and Raiden fixed themselves somewhere around the fire.
Another silence followed as everyone stared into the crackling fire, their faces and hair peppered and matted with blood and dirt.
“I guess that makes us two of us.” Nancy whispered, trying to smile, but it ended up as a pained one, and Danile glanced at her just like everyone else did, Cardin staring blankly at her.
“But Koan’s a hybrid, I wouldn’t hate him, I wouldn’t love him less, because it’s not his fault he’s that way p>
If shocked was a previous reaction to everyone’s action, their next reaction was unexplainable. John couldn’t handle three shocking news at once, and collapsed over
Talia who stared down at his limp body lying over her legs in shock and amusement.
“I don’t understand.” Daniel shakily whispered.
“Yeah, the news was shocking to me as well, but if it’s anything I’ve learnt since this commotion started, it’s that you have to go with the flow,” Liliana began, and everyone focused on her this time around.
“A witch rolls her hand over a crystal ball, and tells us whatever she sees in her vision. If you think she’s being ridiculous, then you might as well think every other thing that’s been happening is a joke. We already lost two Alphas, and by tomorrow, who knows? We might loose half the werewolves’ existence or all p>
She took a deep breath and picked a stick, absentmindedly drawing lines next to the fire, but looking closely, you’d see she was actually writing something.
“When I was unconscious, and alone with Hakura, after she must have healed me, I wanted to know why she was amongst us, and she told me that her kind were being wiped out by the Kitsunes and she pleaded help from Alpha Joseph and Luna Luan, I asked her about the vision she saw because she was about to make an announcement about it before Koan happened p>
“So what did you see?” Jephthah asked.
“I’m getting to that,” Liliana calmly replied before finally drawing small lines, only to write six names which everyone except the ones sitting on the other side, saw.

“The Kitsunes have never been extinct, just that something drove them to do these things. They’ve been living just like any ordinary werewolf would, but suddenly they’re out in the open causing trouble, why?” She glanced around before lowering her head.
“There’s someone remoting them, controlling their movements, every single action they take, one person is responsible for it, and the irony is,” she chuckled painfully, visibly shaking with anger. “The person can barely stand p>
“Who?” Danile asked, his voice deep, resonating over the crackling fire.
“It’s their king,” she didn’t raise her eyes again, but her grip on the stick tightened, and it broke. “Koan and Naomi’s father… “
“But I don’t understand. Kitsunes are all females. The queen reproduces asexually. She’s the only one who can reproduce and that’s why she’s queen. How come there’s a king?” Royce asked.
“That’s what makes Naomi and Koan very special. They’re the only two species who was birthed from the late Queen Moana of Foxtune from sexual intercourse p>
“And Koan’s a hybrid because… his,” John who had been forcefully tapped up to consciousness by Talia a minute ago chipped in. “Um… the queen mated with his father, the previous Alpha p>
“Yes.” Liliana replied and everyone was thrown into another state of shock, silence reigning amongst them again.
“I knew Koan’s father,” Raiden said this time, “Though Koan ALWAYS hated the fact that I usually bring up the topic of his mother, he never seemed to talk about her. Like ever. Just mentioning her keeps him in a bad mood for the rest of the day p>
Nancy caught Liliana’s eyes and thought back to their conversation previously in her room when she had asked why Koan was so grouchy and emotionally stiff, and she had told her to ask him about his ’mother p>
“Could Koan have known who his mother was? Who… he really is p>
“I don’t know.” Liliana replied this time.
There was an unsettling silence again as Nancy fell back against Daniels legs, covering her face with her hands, sighing loudly.
Talia and Liliana stared at her pitifully, but they could only. They couldn’t change or bend the fate or the reality of the truth.
