Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel
I want you all to know that we need to accept them, to understand them, and to assimilate to a world with them in it. I mean, they’ve always been there, we just didn’t know about them. So, Riviana Gray, if you’re watching this, I am sorry. From the bottom of my heart, I am truly very sorry. I want you all to know that I will help you in whatever way I can.
And might I suggest some better ways of understanding for us humans. There is just way too much that we do not know about you.”
“Well, that is true, but that is because we stayed hidden for so long.” Riviana shrugged. “I think that he is right though. We do need to tell the humans more about us. We need to help them to understand what we are all about. That will only help things in the end.”
“What do you think that we should do?” I asked her. “Hold conventions? Have meetings? I don’t know how to make them understand more about us.”
“Well, those are options. However, I think that we can do more. Especially for the younger generations. We can work with universities around the world to offer classes on super natural beings. We can start here in the city, but we can move on to having more at other locations as time moves on. I know that we have a lot of people in our community here that will be right for the job.
And it might become a popular course among the students. We can offer it as free, so that no one has to pay for it. It will be something that we provide as a service. And we can offer classes at community centers as well.” She already seemed to have an entire plan mapped out here.
“We can’t spare that many people. To offer these courses all over the country and the world.” Dietrich looked at Riviana with worry. “We can’t force people to teach these classes.”
“I am sure that we will get some volunteers for some of them. However, I think that you are right. We won’t have enough people. We can offer classes to other educators and help them to teach them. The curriculum could be written by us, but we need time to work on it before we offer that option.”
“Alright.” I nodded in agreement as I watched Gabriel taking notes at the desk beside my Little Bunny’s. “So first thing that we need to do is get someone that is willing to help us write the curriculum.”
“I will take care of that, Joaquin.” Gabriel smiled at me. “I have the information that they will need to use. And I am sure that I know the right person to start with this class. I will work on this over the next few days and get back to you soon.”
“Alright. I will leave that to you, Gabriel.” Riviana nodded at him.
“I know that there is a lot of positive news lately,” Shawn started as he turned to face the rest of us, “but it isn’t all over yet.”
“I know that.” I nodded at his words. “Not everyone is willing to take them at their words, or to let the proof speak to them. There will always be people that hate us, no matter what we do. That is life, though. It has been human nature since the beginning of time and, unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do to change that.
Over time, hopefully, people will understand that we do not mean them harm and stop fearing and hating us.”
“Well said, Joaquin.” Dietrich clapped me on the shoulder. “He is right, Liebling. We cannot change the way that people are. Even our people can be born and raised in hate, they do things that aren’t right and perpetuate these issues generation after generation. I mean, need I remind us all about the Hidden Paw?” He mentioned Star and Artem’s pack.
They had one of the most heinous traditions I had ever seen, and it was all started because of Edmond when he was alive. They worked it out though, and they ended the entire cycle of abuse. It wasn’t easy, and it took them the better part of a decade to fully erase the trauma that had been caused there. Still, they are doing well now.
“I know that there are still going to be pockets of hate around the world. We all know that.” I could hear the somber tone in my voice and wanted to get rid of it. I needed to make sure that they knew I wasn’t upset here. I was just trying to sound serious. “We can’t eliminate all hate, no matter how hard we try.
All we can do is respond to each incident in kind, and strive for a better tomorrow with each given day. My main focus here right now, is to see an improvement compared to how things were. If we do not have to fear the humans and their bombs, then we will be able to breathe easier.”
“You’re right.” Riviana took my hand and squeezed it gently, still cradling the baby in her arms. “We just need to improve little by little. As long as we are to start moving on and living in peace, or mostly in peace, then we can consider this a win for us.”
“Exactly.” I lifted her hand to my lips and kissed her knuckles. “We just want to see things getting better, and I am sure that they are already moving in that direction.”
For the remainder of the meeting, we talked about what we were going to do in the next couple of days. We were all still focused on what had just happened. We knew that we needed to move on, we all wanted to move on, but it was a slow process. We needed to make sure that the humans were ready for that as well.
We were going to talk to the universities and the local community. We wanted to host events that helped people to understand us. We were going to host an official super natural convention where we planned to explain the real truth. The guards that we had there, along with Rowan and Ilana, told us about the errors that they had in their lore and legends.
The first step to a harmonious future was understanding. We should have started there back in December, but we weren’t focusing on that at the time. Now we were. Now we were ready to educate as well as protect. With any luck, we would have a better future than we could have ever hoped for.
And we wouldn’t have to worry about the twins, or even Talia when the fall came and they were all off at the university.

I had taken all the notes like I usually did when there was a meeting with Queen Riviana and the others. I was her right hand man, the keeper of the knowledge, and the one that she relied on most next to Joaquin and Vincent. I knew that she had needed me that day, and I knew just how to help her as well.
As the man that was always responsible for maintaining the history and knowledge of our people, and all the other nonhuman people in the world, I made a point of knowing the citizens as well as I could. That was why I knew who to contact for this situation.
I am not going to say that I knew the name and face of every person in our community and kingdom, but I knew several of them. I made a point of finding out who it was that was close to my Queen and her family.
The man that I had in mind for the task that King Joaquin had set for me was here in the area. He was local, but he hadn’t always been. He had joined the area several years ago though, when he came to teach here at the school in Riviana Falls. That already made him qualified to teach others. He was a teacher after all.
I waited until the evening to call him. It was a school day after all, so I didn’t want to make it so that he was disrupted during a lesson. He was the type of man to pride himself on his professional behavior and being there for his students. That was another reason why I knew that he would be good for this job that I had in mind.
“Hello?” He answered the phone on the second ring. There was no wondering how long he was going to put this off, he was always on top of things, another added to my list.
“Hello there, this is Gabriel Abadie, from the office of Queen Riviana.” I knew that he was aware of me, even if he and I didn’t have a lot of contact in the past. Just a little here and there. I remembered him well though. He had hair that was as black as night, not a single strand a different shade. And his eyes were amber colored, piercing and inquisitive at the same time.
He was a warlock of exceptional ability.
“Good evening Mr. Abadie, is there something that I can help you with? Does the Queen require my assistance with something again?” I will admit that he sounded a little off, as if he was wondering what might have happened in the last couple of days. Since the incident at the stadium that is.
“Actually, there is something that I need to discuss with you. Do you have the time to meet me in person? This is an important discussion.” I did my best to explain without it sounding like there was something bad happening at the moment.
“This certainly sounds serious. Would you like to meet me in town for a meal, or prefer that I come to the castle?” He was willing to help and eager to know what was going on, more positives to his score here.
