Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

1067 Chapter 52- Trinity – Gathering the High Nobles (VOLUME 6)

~~

Trinity

~~

We only had a week and a half left until the reveal. It was now December the eleventh, a Tuesday, and it was time for us to have another meeting. Reagan and Rika, and all the other kids were going to be joining us, but they were mostly going to be watching the meeting take place while we were discussing who would be joining us in the big reveal. This was not a meeting to take lightly. This was something that was going to affect the rest of our lives and the fate of the world itself. We needed to be careful here.

I had sent word to all of the High Nobles and Central Nobles. More than likely, we were just bringing the High Nobles here, but they were all notified. I wanted to make sure that we had a big variety of our people when we revealed ourselves. I want to let the world know that this isn’t a centralized thing. That there are people like us all over the world, and that we have always been here.

The meeting was due to start at three in the afternoon. Yes, this was a bit of an awkward time, but it allowed for Reagan and Rika, and all the others that were in university, to be done with their exams for the day. This was the final week of school before the break started, and that meant that they were busier than ever. They were good kids though, and they were handling it well. Not that they were kids anymore, but I had a hard time not thinking of them as the little toddlers that they used to be. They grew up way too fast, and it’s so sad to see at times.

The doors were opened for the High Nobles and the few Central Nobles to make their way to the throne room. They took their seats near the front of the space and waited for Reece and I to make our entrance. The kids, which had been called Legacies since that last meeting, were all seated in the Grand Noble seats. I didn’t think that anyone would mind, considering that some of their parents were Grand Nobles.

When everyone had taken their seats, Gabriel and Vincent opened the door for Reece and I. We walked out hand in hand as we looked out over the crowd. They were a little worried, but they remained calm. I was happy to see that.

The problem here is that I hadn’t truly explained what was happening to them. Most of my people still didn’t know that the reveal was about to happen. So, I guess that they were going to find out right now. And the others, they will be notified after we decide who will be joining Reece and I on the news broadcast.

.....

I watched the people in the crowd as they stared at Reece and I. They were curious and worried, but they all looked determined and ready. They didn’t know what was coming, but they knew that it was going to be something and that it was coming soon.

I took my seat in my throne, with Reece at my side. One more sweep of the gathered nobles as I looked out at them, and then I started to speak.

“Thank you all for coming. I know that none of you really know what is going on right now, so you all came here with no idea what was going to happen. That is a level of faith and trust in me that I truly appreciate. I can’t have a kingdom like this without people like you.” They seemed to smile as a group at that. At least most of them did.

“There is a reason that we asked you all here today.” Reece continued for me. “There is something that is coming that we need to tell you. And we will need some of you to help us.” This seemed to shock them as they heard what he had to say.

“There is a group of law enforcement agents that are trying to figure out what we are. Apparently,” I looked over at Reece and remembered what it was that he had told me about the call from Agent Orson, “they seem to think that Reece and I are vampires. I don’t know if they think that is the only other creature of this world that is humanlike, or if they just think that this is what we are. Whatever the issue is, they are doing deep genetic tests on one of the victims of the murders from the Jaegan.” I explained to them all.

I paused for a moment to let this sink in. They all seemed to understand that this was not a good thing, but I didn’t know if they had guessed where we were going with this. After a minute though, letting them all process as much as they could in that time, I continued.

“They want to expose us to the world, and they aren’t going to stop. What this means is that we want to get ahead of them on this. We want to reveal ourselves first. We want to make it so that we are revealed in a positive light. The time has come that we can’t hide this from humans anymore. We need to tell them who and what we are and truly live in harmony and peace with them.”

“Will it be peaceful though?” I heard a man call out. His name was Thorenson, and he was a High Noble from Australia. “Will we have peace, or will the humans target us?”

“We have spent the last month and a half working with the leaders of the world. We have implemented laws that will help our people. We can’t be persecuted or prosecuted for just being what we are. We will be safe. And if someone acts against us, it is now considered a hate crime. Also, we will tell them how many of us there are in the world, and that we have been here as long as they have. We are not a threat.” I explained these things to him.

“Alright. So, if you have these laws in effect, what is it that you need from us?” Aurora Yang, a Noble out of southeast Asia asked me. She spent most of her time in English speaking territories that she ran, like Singapore, so her English was very good.

“We don’t need you to do much at all, Aurora. In fact, the thing that we need from you, and not all of you, are volunteers. We need to show the humans that it is not a solitary thing, we nonhumans that live here in Colorado. We need to show that there are people from all over the world that are not human. We need to prove to them what we are and that we mean them no harm.” Aurora was a witch, and a powerful one at that. She knew what it meant to hide among the humans, because she looked so much like them with no altered forms.

“Alright. So, we need to just show our magic and animal forms to the humans? Is that it?” She asked me to clarify.

“Yes, that is it, Aurora. We need to show them that we are here. That we’ve always been here. And that we just don’t want to hide anymore.”

“There will be people that will not accept us.” Another yelled out. This was Akihito Ritsuhara from Japan. He was the only leader of a vampire coven in all of Japan. “They will hate us and they will try to destroy us.”

“There might be some.” I nodded at him. “But I think that more people will accept us than not. At least, that is what I am hoping for. We still need to do this, no matter what the possibilities are. Because if we don’t and the NSA reveals us to the world, they will make us out to be monsters. We have an opportunity here. We can show the world that we are not the villains that Hollywood seems to think that we are.”

“Alright. I understand that.” Akihito said in an understanding tone. “When are we revealing ourselves?” I felt like he was going to be onboard with it all.

“In a week and a half, on the twenty-first. We will have a global broadcast that will interrupt everything. We have hackers working on this so that all internet feeds will be interrupted with it as well. There will be news crews from all over the US and other countries as well. We will make sure that there will be as much coverage on this as possible. And the reveal will replay throughout the day so that others will have a chance to see it as well. We will make sure that they all know, and that we are presented in a positive light.”

They were all listening, no one was interjecting or interrupting. It was like they were all wondering how they were going to go about this. I thought that this was a good thing. We just needed to have a few of them offer to help us so that we could have someone from all ethnic regions.

“Alright, I will join ya.” Thorensen said firmly as he rose from his seat.

“As will I, Queen Trinity.” Aurora rose next.

“I want to help. Akihito stood as well.

“Can I help as well?” A bear shifter, Nicholai, rose. He was the lead bear shifter of northeastern Europe. His people lived in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, and more. His Slavic accent was thick, but I could still understand him.

“Yes Nicholai, you may join us as well.” I nodded at him.

After Nicholai, there were several people that offered to be a part of the reveal. We actually ended up with more than we needed and had to limit it to just a dozen. Still, I was glad that there were people that were willing to show themselves and their nonhuman looking sides to the world. It was comforting, knowing that we had these allies, these people, that were working with us through all of this.

We discussed what would happen during the next week. I wanted them to all go home and tell their people what was happening. And because the High Nobles were like regional leaders, they were expected to tell the groups that were around them as well. They needed to be responsible for the information getting out there.

Following that suit, I knew that I needed to let those that were local know what was going to happen. I needed to make sure that this reveal wasn’t going to come as a surprise to all the nonhuman people of the world. They didn’t need to be bombarded with this fact after it had already happened. They deserved to have at least the week to get used to the idea.

“I guess this means that we need another meeting.” Reece laughed as he looked out at the crowd that was starting to leave. The High and Central Nobles were heading toward the doors that I had summoned for them, going back home with plans on telling these things to their people.

“Yes, I guess that it does. And I need to send word to all the other Alphas and leaders in the country as well. Those that fall under our domain to be specific. I don’t expect those that are hours and hours away to come to the castle for a meeting. Just those that are local.” Reece nodded at me. He understood what was happening, and we both knew that there was no turning back now. This was all happening, and it was happening soon. Now, we just needed to hope that everything went as well as we were planning it to go. We needed to make sure that there were no issues whatsoever on the twenty-first.
