The Alphas And The Orphan

Friday 20th January

Star POV

Well, tonight’s the night. Everything is set for dear old dad’s arrival. We have spent the last two day’s training till we drop. Saffy is a demon, helping me to control my abilities and help me conserve energy.

Wednesday wiped me. I know I accomplished a great deal, but I didn’t wake up till the next morning.

I can now hit moving targets with lighting bolts, cause mini tornadoes to appear at will and cause it to rain wherever I want it to. I have made it hail once, but that was an accident and I have not been able to do it again.

There has also been some success with controlling electricity. I have been able to turn lights on and off, although we have had to replace so many bulbs that we may go bankrupt.

Ace nearly got electrocuted in the shower this morning, but I think that was just stress about tonight. Thank God my alphas can move. He told me my list of punishments is getting longer and longer, which makes my panties wet.

Liam contacted Alpha Andrew and will be arriving at 6 pm, we will host him in the Alpha suite, Alpha, Luna, Ace and Lexi will great him and his three men and then once they are sat with a drink, Ash and I will join them, our friends will be in our suite, close enough in case of trouble, and the rest of the warriors are on alert in case he has more men waiting outside of our borders.

I am going to take the direct route with him, tell inform him that I know everything, and see where that takes us. He needs to know that I am not my mother, and that I will not be pushed around by him.

The girls are helping me with my hair and make-up; I want to be as put together as I can be; I have chosen a grey trouser suit for tonight, a pair of low heels completes my outfit. Max has piled my hair up in a tight up-do, leaving a few curls trailing my nape.

Looking at the girl in the mirror, I am shocked to see a confident woman staring back at me.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s nearly time love, are you ready,” turning to Ash I feel my body trembles and the light on the room flicker, he comes and takes my hands in his and k****s my forehead, “don’t be nervous love, we will be with you every step of the way, we late so proud of you Star,”

I k**s him and lean into his strength. “I just want it over with. Once we get tonight over with, we will know what he plans and be able to counter. I can’t stand not knowing.”

I feel someone pushing my mind and open the link. “They are here Tink. We are ready when you are.”

Taking Ash’s hand, we walk out of our suite. There is an ominous feeling in the air, like I am walking to the gallows. We stop at the doors to the Alpha suite. Ash grabs my chin, turning my face to him.

“Let’s do this goddess, let’s show him how strong you are.”

We push open the doors together and walk into the lounge, a very confident Lex swaggers towards me, “Alpha Liam, may I introduce our mate Star Anderson,” he takes my hand and draws me into the room, I raise my eyes to meet a pair of shocked piercing green eyes almost identical to my own.

“Thalia? What’s going on here?” I shake my head at him, “I am not Tahlia, I am her daughter. There is much to discuss, but I am sure Luna Amanda has dinner ready to serve, so shall we take our seats?”

I head to the dining room, not waiting for a reply. Alpha Andrew opens the door for me with a twinkle in his eye. “good girl,” he whispers as I pass.

Taking our seats, Alpha and Luna at the ends of the long table, the triplets and I were on one side with Liam and his men opposite. He stares at me, still in shock. I can see the questions forming in his mind, and then I see the anger.

Shooting at his feet, he glares at Andrew, “you kept my child from me. I will kill you.” I stand and direct my aura towards him, forcing him and his men to submit to me.

“You are guests at our table. You will behave as such, or your invitation will be rescinded. Are we clear?” I stare at all four men, my eyes ending at Liam, he nods, and I let them go, and retake my seat, “now I am starving, so shall we let our amazing staff serve the first course?”

Once everyone has food in front of them I turn back to the man who fathered me, “I will tell you everything I know, but the first thing is that Alpha Andrew and Luna Amanda only found out my origins a week ago, when I turned 18.”

“Until last Saturday, I thought that the couple who raised me were my birth parents. They were killed in a rogue attack when I was 11, and until last week, I lived with my aunt and uncle.”

Liam stares at me. I can tell he is not convinced. “When I found my mates on my birthday, and we decided that I would move in with them, we found a box of my parent’s belongings, amongst all their paperwork was a folder with my name on, inside was a letter from my parents explaining that I was adopted and there was a letter from my birth mother along with some photos of her.”

He opens his mouth to speak, but I raise my hand to cut him off. I can see he is getting angry, but he stays silent.

“It seems that my parents had discovered that they could not conceive a child, and decided that they needed to get away for a while, during their travels they came across a young girl, she was close to death when the found her, malnourished, and dehydrated, they nursed her back to health and she told them her story.”

His eyes grew wary now. “She spoke very little English to start with, but she told them that her pack in Greece had been attacked and she had been taken. Had been raped and impregnated to produce a powerful heir for an Alpha.”

He jumps to his feet. “that’s a lie. Thalia was my mate, and I loved her. They stole my child from me.” I raised my hand, “please let me continue. You can give your account once I have told you all I know.”

Sitting back down, he fights to control his temper.

“She told them she had escaped and had been running for weeks, they crossed our borders without being seen, and hid her in a cottage near our borders, when she had the baby, there was a great storm, stranding them at the cottage, my dad left to get supplies, the weather was so bad, it took him hours to get back to them”

His face filled with grief when I mentioned my dad, but I pressed on, “my mother, left Thalia to rest while she cleaned the baby, but when she returned to the bedroom Thalia had gone, leaving a letter for them asking them to protect her baby and a letter for me. My parents told everyone that they had adopted me from a pack on their travels. No one in this pack knew anything about Tahlia.”

“Alpha told me that you had visited during the storm, but they did not know that Thalia was being hidden in their territory.”

I look him dead in the eye, “you may now give your side of the story.”
