Still Roland’s POV

“Mother…?” Isabella looked depressed. “Who were you going to marry before you…loved Dad?” I asked her. My Grandparent’s had left in a rage after our “stubborn disapprovals of their choices“. My Mother picked her head up a little and sighed. “It’s a long story honey.” she said sadly. “You can tell your little boy.” I said softly.

Mother groaned. This must be a touchy subject for her. “I’d known your Father a very long time. I…I loved him.” I nodded and she continued. “Then, we both grew up. And…your grandparents, they needed something at the time. Power…” Mother said. I raised an eyebrow but I told her to continue.

“In order to earn their position, they did something very drastic. They proposed that their only daughter would marry a werewolf and become the first for inter-species marriage.” My eyes grew wide and tears came to Mother’s eyes. “ I didn’t want to. I went to your Father for help. He was about to be crowned King. He said he wouldn’t let anything bad happen and…he asked me to marry him instead. Of course I accepted, and your Father had a back up plan if anybody objected. We did some ‘things’ that night, and you were the wonderful gift that came out of it.”

I smiled, but I was still puzzled. “So…what else happened?” I asked. Mother sighed. “Your Grandparent’s were beyond furious, they threw me out of the house and cursed the name of your Father, saying he would never last as a King. A few months after you were born…he was killed. I always thought that your Grandparent’s had something to do with it…” she trailed off. “Why Mother? Morieus killed…wait…” I choked.

“Roland…I was supposed to marry Morieus…”

Those words suspended in the air like fog in the morning. To think that…neither I nor Lia would’ve been here if she had married the enemy of our lands. The realization of it was almost sickening. “In the end, Morieus married Joaquin, Lia’s mother. They became the first inter-species marriage instead. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before.” Mother started to sob. “And now he killed his wife and daughter…” she wept.

I hugged my Mother close. Things were becoming very complicated. “Grandpa and Grandma told Morieus to kill Father didn’t they?” I said. Mother nodded. “That and…well, Morieus always loved killing.” she said. I shook with rage. My own grandparents hated me…they looked for new ways to torture me. I’m sure they’re in line with the…wait a minute.

“Mother! Do you think my grandparent’s are still working with Morieus!?” I shouted. Mother’s face went pale. “T-They told me you needed a new wife…” “They told me Lia was dead…”

I ran to the window and threw it open. “Roland! Where are you going!?” Mother called out the window. “I’m going to save my wife and child!” I shouted back. And I was also doing some other things too. Like murdering the werewolf king…and annihilating my grandparents…
