SHAPESHIFTERS
The Part 30

Both Flints, Seba , and Adaline, they all showed sad faces full of regret.

Seba almost looked as if he was about to cry.

Adaline served three cups of corn coffee, which she had just brewed with hot water, to Marco and his parents.

"Do you want to add sugar? Or milk?" ask Adaline to Marco.

"no need. Thanks!" replied Marco.

"If I had just complied with Flints' request at that time, maybe Fent, Fint, Adaline, our family, would have been able to adapt elsewhere" Seba said.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am! Adaline said earlier, you once worked serving Alpha couples. Hmmmm... Can you tell me anything you know about Alpha's heir, and his family?" ask Marco carefully.

"Yes. I used to work in the castle where Alpha lived and his partner" Seba said.

Seba and Flints were almost at the same time, drinking a little coffee from their respective cups.

"Drink coffee!" flints told Marco.

"Good, Sir! Thanks!" marco said, then took a sip of hot coffee from the cup in front of him, and after Marco put his coffee cup on the table, Seba looked as if he was going to tell him again.

"To my knowledge, the Alpha couple gave birth to the Alpha heir, while I was still pregnant with Adaline. But, the boy suddenly disappeared," said Seba.

"According to an issue I heard among other workers, the possibility of Alpha's heir was deliberately hidden, due to a leadership struggle between Alpha and his brother" Seba continued.

"Hmmm... Then what about Alpha, his brother and Alpha's partner?" ask Marco.

"I was just an outside waiter, and never faced Alpha, nor the Alpha itself...

So, I can't be sure if it's true, or if it's an issue that I've heard. It is said that after the Alpha heir disappeared, the Alpha couple stopped making a sound. She doesn't want to talk, cry, laugh or anything...

Really mute...

Not long after, as I heard, Alpha fell ill, out of grief for his partner, and also his missing heir" Seba said.

"Then? Is the Alpha couple still alive?" ask Marco, who is curious.

"I know little about it... Just as I recall, when Adaline was almost ten years old, all the ordinary workers in the castle were laid off, and there were only a few servants of trust who were still working there" Seba replied.

"What I heard, he said was something happened to the Alpha couple, and at that time the Alpha died, and was replaced by his brother" Seba continued.

Marco frowned, thinking about Seba's words.

Is the real Mommy Marco dead?

"At that moment, all the families of the runaway generation, again split out of this place, and only we were left behind" Seba said.

"Why?" ask Marco wonder.

"The Alpha brothers who are the leaders now, are ruthless people, and do not hesitate to finish off, a generation of runaways who try to break the rules" Seba replied.

Seba seemed to take a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, then again sipped a little coffee.

"But we stayed because it was already wet... As long as we don't act too late, for the last dozen years we've been here, we're still fine" Seba said.

"In spite of this, I still often feel worried about our children. I don't know how long they'll be able to survive, by some crazy rule, this new Alpha," Seba continued.

"What are the rules?" ask Marco.

"We can not go to the main settlement, other than at certain times, can not find work there, we can not go to one side of the beach where they gather, he said, and there are many more, which we cannot do at will" replied Seba.

Seba stared fixedly at Marco, frowning him, and pursed his lips and moved to and fro, for a while.

Seba then looked at Flints and Adaline, alternately.

"I'm worried, just in case we can't adapt elsewhere either. I don't know how human life is, in a different place than this" Seba replied.

"I'd rather just stay here, for a while longer. Although it is difficult with many rules, but certainly we can survive, as long as we keep following all those rules," continued Seba.

Marco was silent for a long time.

Is it possible that Marco took them to live with him?

But, now Marco is not living alone anymore.

Marco had to talk about it with Bella first.

Not to mention other possibilities that could have happened.

Any idea, if there could be a suspicion that leads to him later, and Alpha's brother will find Marco, before Marco gets more information.

Despite his pity, Marco could not make any rash decisions, and indeed had to think things through carefully.

Flints, Seba, Adaline, and Marco stared at each other.

"I also still hope that the Alpha heir will return to this place, and declare his authority, in accordance with the predictions of our ancestors," continued Seba again.

"If for some time, I wait and Alpha's heir does not return, to fulfill our ancestral prophecy, then inevitably, I will invite my family to move from here," continued Seba.

Seba still seems to have a great deal of faith in the story of the shapeshifter ancestor.

Whereas if that were the case, Marco, who was most likely the heir to Alpha, knew nothing about how he would declare his power.

Moreover, it is possible that Marco will have to fight with Alpha's brother, to reclaim his leadership.

Just imagine it, Marco's head was already dizzy.

Marco only wanted to find out about his people, and for the most part, he had already gotten from Seba's explanation.

Marco no longer needed to find out anything about his real Mommy, as he might as well have died, so Seba and the other servants were dismissed from their jobs.

Now, Marco is not too keen to find out more about the shapeshifter, nor does he want to interfere too much in the affairs of his people, and just wants to live a quiet life.

That'sthat's all.

Marco looked at the window of the house, and realized that it was almost afternoon.

"Sorry, Ma'am, Sir, Adaline! But it seems, at the moment I have to go back to where I live" Marco said.

"Good!" the words Flints, Seba, and Adaline, almost simultaneously.

"We hope Marco will come back if Marco has the chance. We were happy to meet other people" Flints said, standing up from his seat.

"Yes, Sir! I will come here, if I am not busy in my place of residence," said Marco, then stood up.

"Tomorrow there is trade in the main settlement. If you want to take a walk there, tomorrow's the chance" Adaline said.

"Hmmm... That so?!" marco said, thinking of Adaline.
