That night, it was bound to be different for the Quileute tribe.
All the packs of the tribe, from old generation or new, all the packs of Shapeshifters were gathered in one place.
Even though the meeting place was crowded with the pack's members, it was pin-drop silence. Everyone had a pale face and worries in their eyes.
They didn't forget what happened during the noontime. That loud howl, No, Roar, was still ringing in many of their ears.
They were waiting, waiting for the one who called for this meeting as he said he had information on the owner of that Roar.
Billy Black, Quil Atteria III, and Levi Uley were also present in the meeting.
Suddenly, Sam walked inside the meeting with Emily. Many were shocked when they saw Emily without that scar on her face.
Sam walked to the front and faced everyone. He had a very serious face.
"It was I who faced the 'Lord,'" Sam said straightforwardly. He also decided to refer to him as Lord. He felt that calling him Alpha would be disgraceful to his power. So instead, he called him Lord. This was also what his instinct was telling him.
"Lord?" Billy Black and the other two Alpha in the circle said at the same time.
Sam nodded and took a deep breath. He then started to tell them everything. Also, his warning, and that he won't harm anyone from the tribe unless they disturb his peace. He also told about the good news to everyone how he healed Emily.
The more they listen, the more shocked they become. Their faces changed with all the emotions from fear, worries, Awe, Respect, excitement, reverence, and even some worship from the young Wolves.
After finishing, many looked at Emily again. They didn't know that someone could heal others' wounds.
"How strong do you think he is?" The person who said that suddenly paused and shook his head and said,"No, someone who can make us kneel just from the howl, is not someone we can do anything against."
"But it's good that he is a wolf. He will be on our side if something ever happens." One of the young wolves said.
Many nodded and agreed. After that, many started to discuss things and how they should act about all this from then on.
…..
"Are you sure it's him?" Carlisle asked Alice and Rosalie.
Both of them nodded their heads. Alice said, "We didn't go to check because of the treaty, but I am sure it is Rosalie's mate."
Esme looked at Rosalie and then looked at her husband. Other Cullen's were quiet.
They also couldn't shake off that fear they felt when they heard that Roar.
Carlisle suddenly said, "I think he is neither a Shapeshifter nor a Werewolf."
Everyone looked at Carlisle, questioning and puzzled. They waited for him to continue and explain why he said that. They know that Carlisle knew a lot of knowledge and things related to the supernatural world.
Carlisle grabbed Esme's hand and said, "Do you know what this Shapeshifter or werewolf is?"
Edward stood a lot back. He was already hearing Carlisle's thoughts.
Others shook their heads. Alice said, "I only heard about their power, but I don't know their origin." Others nodded and agreed with her.
Carlisle leaned back and said, "Let me tell you a story, a story of a forgotten past."
Carlisle leaned his back on the sofa and started to talk...
"When I was with Volturi, I was always a person who sought knowledge. During my time there, I have read many books and information about the past."
"After a long time, I found out a harsh truth. The truth of the origin of our past is the vampires' past."
Carlisle looked at all of his adopted sons and daughters and continued,
"At the beginning of the time, there were no wolves or vampires. But only witches and wizards."
"At that time, magical energy wasn't as sacred as it is now. Many talented humans can harness this energy and use it for themselves."
"There were five powerful witch tribes at that time. Each took a different route of magic to keep the balance in the world."
"Two of the five tribes belong to two very unique witches. One can do Spirit magic, and another can do dark magic."
"But Magic is magic to them. So they continue to stay in their place and continue to do their job as the balance maintainer."
"But one day everything changed. One of the most talented members of the dark tribe breaks the first taboo rules. She uses her magic to bring back her lover from the dead…"
Carlisle looked at everyone and said, "and created the first vampire."
He became silent for a few seconds and then continued,
"Though her lover is back and she was happy, it didn't last long."
At that time, they didn't know that bringing the dead alive also had some consequences, and it was blood. The thirst for blood to vampire."
"Ironically, she died at the hand of the same person she broke the Taboo for."
"Afraid and thirsting for blood, the first vampire killed many during his run from the tribe. In the process, he also created some more like him."
"But the witch couldn't see this abomination and decided to slay the vampire."
Carlisle took a breath and looked at everyone and continued,
"On the other side, the Spirit tribe also faced a difficult situation. Because of some unknown reason, their tribe leader somehow merged himself with a wolf and also created the second most powerful race, the Shapeshifter."
"He gains power and strength like a vampire but without the side effects of thirst for blood. So even though he changed, they continued to carry on with their previous job."
Alice suddenly asks, "So this, Shapeshifters are actually witches?"
Carlisle nodded and said, "Yes, but because he merged with the wolf, he lost his ability to do magic as a punishment from nature. And all of his descendants are the same. But in exchange, they get the chance to phase into Shapeshifter."
"They can have identical power to a vampire, but they also don't need blood to survive."
"So this is how the two supernatural forces were created," Alice said as she looked down.
"But it still didn't answer what you said at first. Who is Akira?" Rosalie asks.
Carlisle said, "We and Shapeshifter are created by accident."
"Then, how did the werewolves come to be?"
"Wasn't this genetic mutation caused by wolves?"
Carlisle nodded and said, "The werewolf was created by Wolf Bite. The first one known was 900 years ago."
"But not any wolf bite can turn them. They need a special kind of wolf. A creature born from magic just like Witches."
Carlisle said, "You see, it wasn't just humans who could harness this magic. Some of the other animals in the world also have access to this magic."
"And that is why I think he is a wolf who can change to human form, not a human who can change to Wolf."
Everyone felt astonished when they heard Carlisle. But Alice and Edward suddenly shook their heads and said, "No, I am sure that he wasn't a Shapeshifter at that time."
Carlisle asks. "No, you said you weren't sure even if he is a human. You said that he is neither human nor supernatural like us."
Carlisle shook his head and said, "I may be wrong about his origins, but after hearing that, Roar, I am sure that he is a pure wolf."
"He is a magical creature born from nature, loved by nature. So he will be a lot stronger than we who are created by chance. And after hearing that, Roar, I think he is Lord class."
"Lord class?"
"It was a title given only to someone whose power can't be measured by any means. I don't know who was the first to get this title, but many who have knowledge of the past know about this."
"And every time a lord appears, all the supernatural races could only bow their heads. They are that strong."
