~Sylvester~

I offered my mother a sit on the couch so she would not feel we did not want her in our room. It was morning anyway, but we would have to sleep regardless because we were awake all night.

“What happened?” My mother asked, and I sighed, ready to explain.

I sat on the couch facing hers, and Tamia sat beside me.

“They were attacked. Their Limo lost control, went off the road and hit a tree in the forest. Then silver immune mutant attacked them. They pumped eastern silver dust in the air and killed the driver and escort.

Theo, Marcel and Leo fought, but they were no match for them. The silver hindered their wolves, and those things injured them badly.

Had it not been for Amelia, they would have all died. Amelia is immune to silver, so she can fight them. She killed two, but one got away. That was when she ran here to tell us what happened.” I summed it up, and my mother was stunned.

“Mutants, you say?’ he said, and I nodded.

“Only mutants would be immune to silver,” I said, and she shook her head.

“You mean there are more Stepanovs out there?” she asked, and I nodded.

“We initially thought it was only Amelia, but we were wrong. I guess some people are out there carrying out experiments on themselves.” I said, and she shook her head.

“If wolves are immune to silver, then they are of the Stepanov bloodline,” she said, and I shook my head in disagreement.

All the Stepanovs were killed, so it was impossible.

These people had to be lab experiments which explains why Amelia’s DNA sample was taken.

“Grandfather killed all of them,” I argued, and she nodded.

“He did, but maybe one or two survived and escaped it. The details we have about the Stepanovs are based on stories told to us by our parents. Dimitri wanted to wipe them off from existence and did a good job at it. We were not taught their history in schools. Our parents were the ones that told us about them. It was a crime to talk about them. We were not allowed to say anything outside the small information about their treason.” She explained.

“Anyway, these people might be experimenting on themselves,” I said, and my mother disagreed.

“The Stepanovs bloodline did not evolve by injecting themselves with things,” she said, and I frowned at her.

“The Stepanovs wanted to improve themselves, unlike what popular history says. It was their bloodline that was the original kings. They alternated power with the Volkovs. The Volkovs came from the Stepanovs and not the other way around. I can tell you this because you are now king.” she said, and I was attentive.

“Rulership was alternated between the Volkovs and the Stepanovs, but things happened, and the two families were overthrown. The Stepanovs did not want to be vulnerable again, so they started looking for ways to be immune to silver.

The Volkovs had their way of building strength, and that was by isolating the alpha gene. Hence why only those in the line of succession can bear Volkov’s last name, and he has to be an Alpha, while the others will have to bear their mother’s last name. Hence why there are Sidorovs, Orlovs and Belyaevs. We are all from the Volkov bloodline but lost our last name because our ancestors were not at that time alphas; thus, they were not in the line of succession.

The Volkovs also ensured that their Alpha and successor breed with a female Alphas only,” She said and stared me in the eye.
