Chapter 2:
"I have no idea what the following days will bring. Try to do everything as good as you can and if it's too much you come here but I am going to need some supplies for the night of the full moon." Diego said crouching down next to Felipe who had still had his head in his hands
"Did you find what will happen to me in the days before the full moon?" Felipe signed. His eyes were red from crying.
Diego sighed, "I am sorry, Felipe but I have no idea."
"Why me?" Felipe signed in grand gestures like he would be yelling if he could.
Diego looked down at the boy he started to see as his son, "I don't know but I do know that we need to defeat the alpha before he comes after you."
"What's the use, I am a freak anyway!" Felipe signed sadly
"Stop that Felipe, you are not a freak, we are going to try to make your life as normal as possible," Diego said while placing a hand on Felipe's shoulder.
"What if I feel things during the days?" Felipe signed to Diego.
"If it becomes too much for you, you come here. I will come here to help you with whatever you need. Go and try to have some sleep tomorrow we will be out looking for a safe place for you to transform." Diego said while he stood up and was going to the stable to take of Toronado's gear when a hand on his arm stopped him.
Diego turned around to see what Felipe wanted to say, "You will not abandon me?" he signed nervously.
"Why do you think I want to abandon you?" Diego asked worriedly
"Because of me being a werewolf?" Felipe signed with fear in his eyes.
"You know what, maybe you will be as much in the action as Toronado is by my side from the moment you control your transformation." Diego smiled before he continued, "I will help you and support you as much as I can Felipe, that is a promise but if I don't want an angry stallion I am going to release Toronado from his gear. You know how impatient he can be." Diego laughed.
That last sentence made Felipe smile because he knew very well how the black stallion could be.
Felipe stood watching how Diego took off Toronado's saddle.
"Go to bed, Felipe. You are going to have some hard days. I will take care of our friend." Diego said patting Toronado in his neck.
Felipe turned around when he heard a faint "finally!" in his head in a voice he didn't know. He shook his head in confusion but just thought it was from being tired so he continued his way to the spyhole.
The coast was clear so he went out of the cave and towards his bedroom. He hoped that he could get some sleep.
Diego on his part was busy brushing his favorite horse.
"I don't know what we can expect in the following days, old boy." He sighed while he brushed the stallion's strong neck.
Toronado shook his neck and breezed softly before continuing his meal. Diego patted one last time before he walked out of the stable.
"I hope this book will help." Diego sighed while he lifted the book of his desk. An envelope fell out of the book.
"What's this?" Diego whispered to no one in particular.
"To the finder of this book." Diego read before he turned the envelope around and opened it and started reading.
'Dear reader,
if you found this book it means you are in close contact with my son.
He is the heir and prince of all werewolves.
He is about to turn at the age of 21 if he gets bitten before that time, the transformation will be brought forward.
In that case, the transformation will be even more painful.
The fact that you are reading this letter means I can't be with him to help him through it.
This book will guide you.
greetings Colin werewolf king.
Underneath this handwriting was another message meant for him.
Dear Don De La Vega,
You don't know me but I am Colin's brother and by that Triston's uncle. I am part off the Los Angeles pack. My brother gave me the order to whenever I would sense his son's presence to leave this book. I asked around and learned that you are the one raising little Triston, known to you as Felipe.
I left this book after I learned that my alpha bit him. Please take good care of him for the next few days because they are going to be rough for him. I know that you will never abandon him. On the other side off the letter is a map of the mountain Diablo. There is a hidden cave designed for the first transformation. I will try to get away from the pack to come and help you two through it. The first thing you need is to bring an amount of meat. The book will make everything clear. One more thing, the book explains the color of eyes but they don't mention the color his wolf eyes are going to be which is neon green. That's a sign for us that he dominates all wolves.
greetings Darion.
"First the myth of the king of horses turns out to be my stallion, now Felipe appears to be king of werewolves, and I am a fox with a bounty on his head. This is a nice animal team we are forming." Diego sighed and shook his head.
He looked through the book but decided it could wait until tomorrow. This was something Felipe needed to know. Diego felt it was time for him too to go to bed.
Felipe had managed to sleep that night but woke up quite abruptly by a loud sound outside his window. He expected some kind of big bird but instead, it was only a few inches tall.
Felipe shook his head but the sound didn't quiet down.
Felipe jumped out of bed and dressed, he needed Diego now.
Diego was still asleep when knocks on his door woke him. This could only be Felipe.
"Come in." He yelled while he sat straight in his bed.
Felipe entered the room clearly in a panic.
"Felipe, what's wrong?" Diego asked worriedly. Diego's night had been restless he had been thinking about Felipe and was going to happen following days.
Felipe on his turn started signing like crazy.
"Felipe, please calm down. I can't read that fast." Diego said holding out his hands to calm the boy.
Felipe shook his head and sighed deeply, "I think it's started. I hear everything ten times louder than normal and it makes my head hurt like hell." he signed more slowly.
Diego sighed, "I was afraid things weren't going to be easy. There is something you need to see in the cave."
"What?" Felipe signed
"A letter from your real father," Diego said calmly.
