Chapter 5

"We here are the werewolves who have chosen you as our leader." She then looked into her eyes. "You're the true heir for the throne, royal bloodline of Vampires, and the next Luna of the Silver moon. You're the chosen one to unite both clans again, ending the enmity and bring in the peaceful times again."

After the big revelation of her existence, Alexa was left alone to settle the information inside her head, "My dad is a Vampire king?"

On asked about the whereabouts of her father, "We don't know if he's still alive or not, no has seen him ever since," was the answer she got.

She was trying her best to digest the newly found info about her family, "Am I suppose to believe all this?" She scoffed. She was lost, was she supposed to trust them? She walked mindlessly inside the room when her little finger dashed into the bed corner, "Oww" She winced in pain rubbing the area when she hit herself. She then noticed a bundle of gifts at her bedside, she picked out one, unwrapping it she found a dream catcher, so like Conner, "For your bad dreams." It read. She guessed it right it was from Conner, she recognized her handwriting. She smiled but the tears pooled in her eyes, threatening to fall. She just wished to wake up from the nightmare she was in, she covered her face with her palms and heaved a sigh in frustration.

She looked up to the thud sound from the door, finding her friends landing on the floor. "Hey! I told you not to move too much!" Conner shouted at Tyler.

"You were the one who pushed me." He blamed Kevin.

"What's your problem lee? Why did you pinch me?" He glared at Lia.

"It's Lia for you." She glared back at him.

"Oh come on guys, not again!" Murphy shook his head.

"Guys?" Alexa raised her brows at them.

"Me first." Tyler ran ahead. "No, me first." Conner pulled him by his collar. "You're choking me." He shouted. "You deserve it." She retorted. "Continue. I'm first." Murphy walked past them. "I don't think so," Conner pulled him back grabbing him by his hair, "Hey!" He complained.

"No, I'm going to wish her first!" Conner shouted.

"No, me first!" Murphy yelled back, they all then shouted together, "Happy birthday!"

"hmm, thanks?" Alexa shrugged.

"We could have just done that from the start instead of pushing and pulling each other!" Murphy shook his head as they released each other.

Conner then looked at Alexa and smiled walking to her, "Hey, we know things happened....lots of things happened... but it's your birthday." She gave her a bone-crushing hug. "Yeah." Murphy joined them. The rest of them maintained their distance, they had lots of explanations to do.

"Happy birthday, Alex." Lia pulled out a gift from behind and held it out to her. Alexa turned her head away, the girl who had been her best friend since middle school, who knew her inside and out, now seemed a stranger to her. "You can open it up later." She smiled at her sadly as she placed her gift at the side of the bed with other gifts. She then hurried out of the room.

"Happy birthday." Kevin smiled at her awkwardly. Alexa was reminded of last night when she saw him sucking off blood from another Vampire. She cringed at the thought.

Tyler was next, "I know you didn't see me but I'd like to come clean. Let's introduce ourselves officially, Hi, it's Tyler and I'm a werewolf too." Tyler flashed a bright smile. "And before you decide to kick me out of here, I'll take the leave myself." He told her before turning to Kevin, "let's go, Kevin." He pulled Kevin along and walked out.

"You're okay, Alex?" Murphy asked his eyes filled with concern.

"I'm not." She sighed burying her face in her hands. "I'm not okay with any of this." Her voice choked, she swallowed her tears back, narrowing her eyes at them, she asked, "How are you guys okay with this?"

"Hey, I know everything's messed up but I can't believe we had 2 werewolf friends." Conner's eyes sparkled.

"Do you even realize the depth of the situation?" Alexa frowned at her friend who seemed to enjoy all of these.

"Come on, Alex! You get to be the queen of them all and that's....that's soo cool!!" Murphy was thrilled.

"I don't believe any of that! Luna or Queen or whatever it is, I'm none of that. I'm just Alexa and I prefer to be just that. If what all they say is true and if we really had a family like them this entire time, why didn't mom ever talked about them? Why would my mom and I spend our life as normal humans of course until they showed up? If I was what they say I am then my mom would've probably prepared me for all of these before handed right? If I had the powers they tell me I possess I'd have known right? But I'm absolutely normal, I don't feel those powers, why? cause I don't have them!"

"Are you going to deny all of this?" Murphy raised a brow at her.

"I don't deny the fact that my mother is a werewolf and part of their story may be true but more than that.. until I hear it from my mom herself, I can't."

"I know it's all way too absurd but they're our friends," Murphy tried to defend their friends.

"I don't know any of them." Alexa hissed.

"Give them a chance to explain themselves?"

"Explain what? They've been lying to us the entire time, one is a blood-sucking monster and the other two are...Argh! Explain what damn it?"

"We've always been there for each other, our friendship isn't that weak that we start hating each other just because they're different. Come on, we need to face it, they protected us and we're alive here because of them, we do owe them our lives, Alex. I dare you to deny that."

"Fine. I accept it all okay but I'm not going to trust them blindly, I can't, I won't and I'm leaving."

"What? Where?" The twins showed together.

"I need to find my mom. Contact your parents, they're still into this hobby of theirs? The hunters association or something? They can protect us right?" She asked.

They nodded in agreement.

"Great then, for now, we cooperate with them, and when the time comes we go home."
