White Wolf Hybrid
Chapter 35~ Reclaim the Throne

Blake’s POV~

What a night that was! We got back just before midnight, and we all just fell into our beds! And waking this morning, my giddy, excited mate has practically vibrated off the bed. I laugh and scoop her up to grab a shower before breakfast. Her happiness is infectious and it can be felt throughout the entire pack.

Walking to the dining hall, there was laughter.. people singing Christmas songs.. kids romping and playing.. And I know it’s due, in part, to Alexis’ exuberance. The pack needs this right now! WE need this right now! Sitting down, Cody’s father says “Alpha, Cynthia went out last evening, and hasn’t returned. We checked her room and realized she packed a bag. I think she’s run off”. I nodded “Thank you for telling me. I am sorry she has to disrupt your family so disrespectfully.”

By the time we made it to the conference room, Jeremiah had already been told his mother had died in her sleep and Charles mumbled “Too peaceful for that fucking pit viper “ and the room erupted.. Then we all really laughed when Charles fainted after he found out about Olivia. Loren decided to unblock his phone.. as we waited for Jeremiah to deliver his news.. We didn’t have to wait long!

We knew the call was coming before it rang through.. all of us had watched him dialing. Putting it on speaker.. Loren answered “Santiago” and I almost choked on laughter! “Where are you?” Laughing.. Loren responds “Here! Where are you?” We all know what he’s doing.. he’s winding him up. It’s a conversation everyone had last night. Jeremiah snips back “I’m here! Where you should be!” Loren went back at him with “Mmm..noooo.. you aren’t here. I’m here.. you’re actually there! And I am exactly where I should be!” And.. nuclear is about to happen “You fucking asshole! I need you at the Palace! Today! Mother… your wife.. you do remember you have one, right?! is dead! You need to show proper mourning! So get your ass back here!” Loren grins… a huge, unashamed grin “Mmhmm.. yeah.. that’s going to have to be a hard No! Not gonna be able to do it! Juliet stopped being my wife.. about the same time you stopped being my son! By the way.. the witches you collaborated my murder with.. are now dead! Might want to let your little pet know Hecate herself burned her mother at the stake. I will be releasing a statement within the hour to the entire kingdom, however.. delineating every detail of Juliet’s demise.. as well as your aligned associations with rogues to assassinate Alpha’s all over the continent..” and, just as we knew would happen.. he went nuclear “When I replace you, I will disembowel you! I will spike your head to the kingdom’s gates to remind everyone to Never FUCK with a true king!” Loren laughs “Good luck with that!” … click!

We watched the meltdown like it was the last eruption of Kilimanjaro! He threw things.. He screamed. He snapped the necks of two his advisors.. then told Virginia Loren had murdered Prudence. While that was going on, Damon was setting up a press conference. Watching Loren go from laidback normal person to Alpha King Loren Santiago was an awesome and intimidating as fuck experience. Once it was all set up… he began his address.. and I admit to fangirling like a bitch!

My fellow wolves! I come before you today, not as a king.. as a wolf. I brought shame.. on our realm.. on my name.. and on my family. When I say family.. I do not refer to the imposter who sits the throne. But, I will explain, in a moment.

In our teachings of the last couple centuries… we are taught that our true mates are options.. to embrace.. or ignore. Before I was born, my father brokered an alliance with a powerful Alpha.. that I would take his first born daughter to wife. I was raised in strict adherence to my responsibility to the throne..the kingdom. I was trained to ignore my feelings, as they are unimportant in the grand scheme!

At my 19th birthday, I ascended the throne. A year later, I wed Juliet Winters. One year later, she gave birth to a male heir. My familial duty was achieved and I was done! I threw myself into the betterment of our species.. I traveled to meet with Alphas all across the continent, to hear their ideas.. to learn what they needed to enrich their lives.

On one such trip.. when the heir apparent was only seven months old.. I visited a beautiful little pack on the southeast border of Georgia. It was there… in a little coffee shop, I found my true mate. My one! The person we are taught we can live without. She knew we couldn’t be together. She knew I could never mark her.. that I was obligated to my wife.. and the heir. Yet! And here is where I need you to listen, pay attention.. My beautiful mate.. living her life the way our Goddess intended. She followed the doctrines to the letter.. and got stuck with me. Someone who didn’t believe mates were in our best interests. My mate wanted me! She wanted ME! If only for one night.. she wanted me.. because I was her Goddess given true mate..she made herself settle for only one night with her true mate.. than to live the rest of her life never feeling that soul connection!

As a man.. being a male.. I needed it too! I left in the dark hours, after having a taste of what my life should have been.. and knowing I could never have that feeling again…I returned to taking care of the kingdom.. of my people! Keeping my mind blank of emotions. What I didn’t know, the time spent with my mate resulted in a child.. created from that love!

The Queen discovered I had found my mate and conspired with the mother of my mate to murder us both! I was poisoned.. on a daily basis for nearly sixteen years. My Beta discovered it and we stopped it.. It was too late for my true mate, however. She did in fact, die! My child had to tend to my mate as she succumbed to the poison.

The heir.. then imprisoned me until I agreed to abdicate and he ascended to the throne. Now! Your King.. has been allying with corrupt alphas.. hiring rogues.. and decimating entire packs.. making sure to assassinate the Alpha families. In doing so, it would allow him to control all wolves! To demand blind loyalty.. with no resistance to his authority!

I leave it to you to decide how you wish to proceed. Do you sit and do nothing? Do you become sheeple and follow the flock? The Dowager Queen is dead. The Goddess herself claimed her soul in the night.. just as Hecate claimed the soul of my mate’s mother, so that my mate could walk through this life WITH me! And I will be forever grateful! My faith in our Moon Goddess’s plan for us and our mates will never waver again!
