A Stranger To Yourself (Previously I Curse You All, To Hell And Back)

Zangara

Katia's P.O.V

I looked at the Zangara with more shock than I ever had experience in my whole life. He looked nervous and... scared. I could tell he was telling me the truth and not just lying, I just feel it and knew it wasn't a mind game.

We sat there for a few moment before I stood up straighter and moved to the edge of my seat, facing the Zangara- My brother, "Explain." I said, and she did.

He told me about how my mother actually was my mother and that she had fallen in love with a Zangara after she had married my sister's' father but they knew that it couldn't and wouldn't last and that they weren't mates.

They'd had one last little... good bye. And that turned out to make me, my mother in the end played it off to be my sisters' fathers baby so that he didn't find out about her and the Zangara. My father (my real one) had recently found out that I was his daughter somehow (nobody really knows but it has something to do with my name and the announcement that I was going to be the Luna for a pack) and he came to find me.

At first they hadn't but finally ended up searching hard enough to find me since so much had happened. They told me that the silver tipped roose was necessary since it wouldn't have been easy to get me into a position where they could take me and bring me home.

He said how they knew it wouldn't affect much since... Im half Zangara. And how it would've been much worse than some internal bleeding if i wasn't. Zangeres aren't a affecte by the rose so they used it instead of some other tactics they could have used.

He told me about how he was younger than me since our father had found his mate already and how he had had my brother then. The last thing we covered was what my brothers name was, his name was Zeke.

I took it all in and realized some things, "That's why when i touched the door i felt the need to pull away immediately." He nodded and explained, "The markings on the door that you traced are designed to trap one of us so you felt, disturbed by it, right?" I nodded.

Once more i thought this all over again. This is what the goddess meant when she said she wanted me to try to understand things better than i usually would.

I looked back at my brother, "Why do you want to take me home then?" I asked since he hadn't explained that yet. He made a 'o' shape with his mouth and said, "Well... Our dad wants to meet you."

Alexander's P.O.V

Last night i went home, a little worried but something inside me told me to calm down and that she was going to be fine. The next day id woken up and gotten ready to go get her to take her to the Zangaro cell since she'd wanted to go every other time.

When I got there she answered the door in her pyjamas and with her hair all over the place. I chuckled, "Would you like to go get ready or you wanna go looking like that?" I asked, teasing her. She punched my shoulder with the smallest blush on her cheeks. "Go wher?" She asked groggily. I looked at her with an eyebrow raised, "The Zangara of course." I barely finished my sentence when she dashed upstairs to get changed, I shook my head with a smile, she was just adorable.

Katia's P.O.V

Last night after the... revealence with my brother I had spent a little while just sitting there and processing everything before I told him I was going to get him out of the room next time I came with Alexander to see him. I said i'd see him soon and was on my way. Id gotten home and immediately collapsed on my bed and into slumber.

Right now me and Alexander Were heading to see my brother and I was going to tell him about how he was related me.

I couldn't help but feel scared. Scared of rejection since werewolves hated Zangaro and hed already rejected me before so what's new. My wolf growled at me for thinking of our mate like that and I growled right back because deep down I knew she thought the same and knew it could possibly happen.I stopped thinking after that and focused on the building that we were approaching that held my brother.

We just got inside when I saw my brother looking tight lipped at a almost fuming Alec, my guess was that he was trying to get answers from him. I chuckled lightly before patting I'm lightly on the shoulder and saying, "I got this champ. Not that you aren't doing a wonderful job on your own." As I pushed him back onto a chair as he landed with a runt grumbling something along the lines of 'Women' as I chuckled again.

My laughing didn't cease as I saw the look of slight relief flush only my brothers features as he looked up at me with a thankful smile on his face. I scorched him over so that I could sit on the bed and got on a serious face. As I proceeded to tell tham the information I had received in the last 24 hours.

*^*

After I was done relaying everything everyone was silent, myself included and I couldn't help but think the worst. Every terrible thought ran through my head from Elsander rejecting me to someone just coming in and killing me.

I looked around nervously, all of us still in silence until Alexander gave a slight nod yes of his head. I let out a long breath i didn't know i'd been holding and looked at him with hopeful eyes as he looked at me with a slight smile.

Zeke went on to talk about how he was supposed to bring me to the Zangara territory as soon as possible as everyone was processing the fact that i was half Zangara.
