Fate's Dark Side Chapter 638

That was why we did not kick against your relationship with the Riverstorm Delta girl. Typically you should have mated with an Alpha like all of us, but I wanted to cut that chain." He said and sighed. I was silent because interrupting him with questions won't help.

My mother returned with three bottles of water and handed one each to us.

"Tell him, Richard. He can handle it, darling," my mother said, understanding that my father was beating around the bush.

My father sighed and looked at me.

"Do you know of the two ruling houses?" he asked, and I did not answer; I just stared at him. I did not want to say anything that would make him digress. So I remained silent.

"Okay, the original family was the Stepanovs, then the Volkovs came from the Stepanovs," he said. I nodded, indicating I knew that already.

"Very good," he said and sighed.

"When the ruling family was overthrown, and a council was placed in their stead in the name of democracy, both bloodlines decided they would find ways to strengthen their race to take back what was rightfully theirs. Volkovs isolated the Alpha genes while Stepanovs took to Alchemy." He said and sighed.

"Both families gained, but the Stepanovs lost their Alpha genes because their method was extreme. It had to do with mutation.

About three hundred years ago, there was a failed experiment in the East.

A Stepanov, a first cousin to the ruling line, came to the East to mate with an Alpha and ended up birthing a useless beta breed.

He left her and returned to the North.

This experiment made the Stepanovs believe the Alpha genes were gone forever.

But Sophia Stepanov, a distant relative to the ruling Stepanov line, did not think so, so she decided to break their rule.

She had an affair with the lead Alpha of the Volkov bloodline, Patrick Volkov, the grandfather of Gregory Volkov. Patrick knew she was a Stepanov, but the diary accounts said he loved her so much that they had a child together.

But because he was married then, he could not take her as his wife, so he sent her with her child to the East and bought her land.

He also sent her with servants and people to take care of her and her child. He would often visit them secretly. They never thought their son would be an alpha because she was a Stepanov.

Their genetic mutation always destroys the Alpha genes.

When their son got his wolf, he surprised them.

Whatever the mutation took away, the Alpha gene had been corrected by the Volkov concentrated Alpha gene. They had a son, and he was a strong Alpha. He also had Stepanov abilities, but his abilities wasn't like the full Stepanovs; his abilities made it possible for him to tolerate silver better than other werewolves.

Silver couldn't keep him down for long. Seeing this, Patrick decided to hide him because he knew if the Stepanovs found Sophia and his son, they would take him and try to run experiments because that was what they did.

He left them in the East but made sure they would never lack for anything." He said and looked at me.

"That boy's name was Rudolph Albert, our ancestor. It was Patrick Volkov that bought the land that we now call Mountain. He bought it because Sophia loved the peaks in the North, and he did not want her to miss home much," He said, and I remained frozen and shocked. I gulped the water a few times and blinked.

It would have been easier to handle if I was dreaming, but I knew I had heard my father right. We were Volkov and Stepanov descendants.
