Chapter 8 Shocking Identity

• GRACE
• Why did this joyful news come after Alex rejected me?
• If I had known about my pregnancy earlier, maybe I would still be in the Moon Pack now. Perhaps my bond with Alex would still be alive. And could be Alex would have kept me instead of choosing Jecelin.
• “I'm she-wolf without a wolf, so what do my children look like?” I asked doubtfully.
• Sophia raised her hand and carefully drew a picture with her finger in the air, as if she were drawing.
• “Your triplets have true werewolf blood because their father is an Alpha werewolf,” she replied with a serious look on her face.
• “Thank goodness if the triplets are true werewolves.” I sighed deeply, feeling so relieved that the triplets were pure werewolves.
• “But the three of them are not just true werewolves,” she added as she made magic patterns with her fingers. I frowned as I watched Sophia's magic patterns form the outlines of wings and horns.
• “What do you mean?” I demanded.
• Sophia turned to me and, in a soft voice, said, “No matter who you are, your children will still exist in this world. You must take excellent care of your triplets.”
• In my heart, I felt awkward about her words. And fear was pushing me even more.
• “Explain to me whatever you know about my triplets!” I yelled at her while punching the wooden wall of her house.
• Sophia took a quick glance at the cracked wall, then turned her gaze to me. “The three of them are no ordinary babies. Inside the triplets' bodies flows the blood of a true werewolf, vampire, and fairy. In conclusion, the triplets are tribrids,” she said with a worried-looking gaze.
• “Are you delirious, Sophia? I got pregnant with my ex-mate, who is an Alpha werewolf, so there's no way my triplets will be tribrids!” I laughed a little at her words.
• Tribrid is a term used to describe a creature that has three bloodlines or traits. In the werewolf world, tribrids are known as very rare and powerful creatures.
• The history of tribrid existence dates back to the ancient Greek era, where there are stories of creatures that have the powers of three different creatures. In modern werewolf legends, people describe the tribrid as a creature born from the descendants of vampires who later became wolves.
• Hence, I laughed at Sophia's remark because, in this modern werewolf world, no hybrid or tribrid survived because it had a significant weakness. I had been a werewolf who could shift since I was a teenager. Sunlight is not my weakness, so there is no sign that I am a creature with three mixed bloods.
• “The triplets' father is a true werewolf, but not their mother.” Sophia touched my wrist and pressed my vein with her index finger. “Within your body flows the blood of three of the most powerful creatures on earth. You are not a werewolf, but a tribrid.”
• I withdrew my hand from her. I was currently feeling furious at the explanation that came out of Sophia's mouth. Looking at the condition of her house and her poorly maintained form. I'm convinced this woman in front of me is nothing more than a crazy woman who likes to make things up with wild imaginations in her brain.
• “Thank you for the favor you did me. I'm leaving.” I hurriedly stepped toward the door. Just as my hand was about to reach the doorknob, Sophia held my shoulder.
• “Don't go,” she said in a low voice.
• My eyes narrowed sharply at her strange behavior. Seriously, I'm not comfortable being in a situation that requires me to be around a strange human like her. “I can take care of myself and protect my triplets!”
• “The Blood Pack is not a safe place for a pregnant tribrid like you. If one of the Blood Pack werewolves found you, someone would kill instantly you. Therefore, for now, you are safe in my little house!” she snapped with a hardened jaw. I shuddered in horror as her dark eyes widened.
• “Why should they kill me? I'm a former Luna Moon Pack, and I'm sure I can use my abilities for their pack's advancement!” I yelled in anger as she clearly belittled me. Likewise, I was the sensitive type, plus the pregnancy hormones made me easily offended by her words.
• Sophia took slow steps, and I realized that her legs weren't functioning properly. She was walking on her right leg, and her left leg looked limp, like it had no bones. “You are no ordinary werewolf, Miss Grace. Within your body flow the three strongest bloods: werewolf, vampire, and fairy. Thousands of years ago, the oracle book predicted your birth. A shooting star signaled your arrival in the land of the Blood Pack. Only beings with oracle abilities like me can interpret the tribrid's arrival. The tribrid's presence is a threat within the pack, plus you are carrying triplets, which could invite many enemies!”
• “Your words have no proof at all! I don't believe your nonsense at all!” I pointed at her face, feeling furious.
• Suddenly, my throat felt hot. I could barely breathe in oxygen because of the coughing that didn't pause at all.
• I felt something strange happening to my body. There was a burning sensation inside my skin that made me feel petrified and uncomfortable. Suddenly, I felt a blood-like discharge coming out of my teeth that was sharp and piercing.
• I felt like I was waking up from a nightmare, and my vision instantly turned dark and blurry. I felt thirsty and wanted to find something that could quench my thirst. Not only that, but I felt like finding a source of blood to drink.
• When I saw someone in front of me, her blood was very eye-catching. I couldn't resist the urge to take it, and I jumped up with incredible speed and a bit straight into her neck.
• She screamed in pain and tried to break away from me, but I didn't care. Her blood had tempted me, and I wanted to savor every drop of it that quenched all my thirst.
• I couldn't describe the taste properly. The liquid I drank felt thick on my tongue and made my throat warm. I wanted to keep tasting this thick liquid because slowly my body felt comfortable, and I felt like there was a power rising inside my body.
• I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, feeling a pleasant sensation throughout my body. But suddenly, I felt a hard, blunt object hit me from behind. I felt my head hit and fell down, my body unable to hold on. As a result, I had to let go of the neck of the person I had just sucked.
• As I opened my eyes, I felt a strange and painful sensation all over my body. I saw Sophia opening the curtains and windows of her house with a quick movement, letting the sunlight in and hitting my body. My body was burning, and it hurt a lot.
• “Sophia, what happened?” I tried to step towards her because I wanted to ask for an explanation. However, she threw a piece of wood and hit my head, making my steps stop immediately.
• Her gaze was sharp, and her jaw hardened. “The vampire's power inside your body is starting to rebel. Your vampire instincts want to take over your body and turn you into a full-fledged, blood-sucking creature,” she said in a trembling tone. She was holding her left neck, which was oozing blood, and her facial expression was clearly in great pain.
• Panic engulfed my mind as I realized the fatal mistake I had just made. I felt guilty and hurt by circumstances I had never imagined. I saw my physique change dramatically, and I was now a vampire, a horrifying creature that certainly made me feel terrified.
• Likewise, I felt very threatened by the physical changes that were happening to me. I felt an overwhelming sense of dread and couldn't let go of the feelings welling up in my heart. This was a new event for me, and I was worried about what would happen after this.
