SHAPESHIFTERS
Part 82's
Gray hair mixed with a slight brown color, all of which were rolled up on the back of his head.
A few deep creases of skin on his forehead, and every corner of his backside lip rose when he smiled, as did the lines of wrinkles at the tip of his eyes that were now staring at Marco.
The woman who seemed to be already in her twilight years, looked elegant wearing a luxurious dress without excessive jewelry, just a pair of earrings and a shapeshifter pendant necklace.
Why is he looking at Marco and Bella like that?
Marco forced himself to return his smile, and pretended to remain calm.
Unexpectedly, the woman walked slowly towards Marco.
"Hello! I am the owner of this shop! My name is Nancy Hawthorne!" greet the woman, while extending one of her hands towards Marco.
The vibration generated by the power of the female shapeshifter named Nancy was unrecognizable to Marco.
The vibration is different from Beta or shapeshifter Alpha follower replacement.
It felt really strange to Marco.
"Hello, Ma'am! I'm Marco Belmont! And this is my wife Bella Graham!" marco said as he shook hands with the woman and introduced Bella to her.
The woman then hugged Bella, and kissed her left and right cheeks.
"I'm sorry! But, I did wait for your arrival!" nancy said, smiling widely, and looking at Marco fixedly, after finishing greeting Bella.
Marco's eyes were wide.
What does this woman mean?
"We can't talk here." said the woman, looking back and forth, regardless of Marco's bewildered look.
"Please enter!" continued the woman, pointing towards the open door, and only blocked with a thin curtain.
Marco, as well as Bella just stood glued to her place, and did not want to accept the invitation from Nancy.
"Just calm! There's no way an old woman like me can scare you!" said the woman.
Marco and Bella stood there.
"I can't hurt my niece's own granddaughter." Nancy continued.
"What do you mean..." Marco could not continue his question.
Nancy signaled Marco to stop talking, putting one of his index fingers over his mouth.
"Too many ears." said Nancy slowly.
Marco looks at Bella, and finally a greater curiosity, makes Marco accept the woman's invitation, and takes Bella to walk in the direction Nancy pointed out earlier.
Inside there, the room is quite spacious, containing furniture that is not too much, and there are only functional objects.
"You can sit here... And wait for me for a second" said Nancy, allowing Marco and Bella to sit on one of the available couches.
After Marco and Bella sat down, Nancy was seen walking forward to the room displaying the jewel.
Not long after, Nancy is seen walking back, and one of the store clerks, appears to be coming with her.
"What do you want to drink?" ask Nancy.
"Tea is enough!" reply Bella.
Marco was already feeling very impatient to listen to Nancy's explanation, but for the sake of courtesy, Marco also asked for a cup of tea for him.
Nancy then sat on the sofa, while the clerk was seen walking further into the room.
"You have eyes like your Mommy, but for the whole you look a lot like your Daddy" Nancy said.
"Sorry, Ma'am! But, how can you say that? Whereas we've just met, and you don't know me yet" Marco asked.
The clerk, now seen carrying a tray of three cups of drinks, and several pieces of biscuits, then served them on a table, before he walked back to the store.
"I saw you back then, but I didn't have time to greet you, because you were just walking through the store, with a girl." said Nancy, then glanced at Bella.
"Since then, I have been waiting and hoping that I will be given the chance to meet you" Nancy continued, looking at Marco again.
"I'm with Adaline." Marco explained to Bella, though Bella did not ask.
"Sorry, Ma'am! But, who are you really? And I don't understand the direction of your conversation" asked Marco, pretending.
"Hmmm... I understand that you don't know me" Nancy said.
"I'm the brother of Daddy Alpha. The only one from the Alpha family still alive" Nancy continued.
Marco could not believe what he had just heard from the woman's mouth before him.
Either Marco should be happy, knowing that he still has family, or just needs to worry.
Because if it is so, it means Marco has been suspected, even though he has not said anything, and has not had time to act anything.
Is it possible that Nancy will tell Alpha the replacement, about Marco's arrival at that place?
Marco felt that his seat was now uncomfortable, and wanted to get out of it immediately.
"You don't have to worry... Didn't I tell you that I wouldn't hurt you? You can hold my word" said Nancy.
Nancy seemed to be aware of the anxiety Marco was feeling right now.
"Sorry, Ma'am! But, I feel that you may have misjudged people!" marco said, and get ready to get out of there.
"Marco! Calm yourself! Nothing will happen to you, let alone you being with me" Nancy said.
"Although you dodge, I cannot be lied to! You are the Alpha child who was taken out of this place, shortly after you were born" Nancy said firmly.
"Sorry, Ma'am! I really don't understand your conversation!" marco insisted.
Nancy seemed to shake her head.
"Do I look like someone who likes to talk about things that can trigger a fight?" ask Nancy.
"No, Ma'am! No," answered Marco.
"I don't want you to misunderstand me. It's just, I think now it's time for us to leave" Marco continued, then stood up from his seat.
"Do you not want to know about your family? Or do you know everything?" nancy asked, unwilling to give a favorable answer, so that Marco could leave without looking disrespectful and disrespectful.
"Well, you sit down first! You don't have to be afraid to admit who you are to me! Me, not a shapeshifter who likes to see bloodshed!" nancy continued firmly.
Inevitably, Marco sat back on the sofa.
"What's wrong with you? What have you ever heard of the Alpha family, until you seem terrified?" asked Nancy with her furrowed brows.
"You are Alpha, the only successor. Be proud and confident in yourself!" continued Nancy.
"But..." Marco again could not continue his sentence, because Nancy cut his words.
"Nothing but. Stop pretending! I may be old, but I'm not crazy or stupid!" said Nancy.
"Not every issue you hear out there, it's true... Don't you want to know, what's really going on in your family's neighborhood?
About your Daddy, your substitute Alpha, and your Mommy who missed you so much. Don't you want to know? You want to turn your back on your family?" Nancy's question, like a bullet of a machine gun coming out of her mouth.
"And don't call me madam! I'm still your Grandma!" continued Nancy.
Marco was silent for a while, and he suddenly realized something that jolted him, with his eyes wide open.
"Is Mommy still alive?" ask Marco.
