The Wolf

CHAPTER 25

“Don’t light the candles yet, Silas isn’t here!”

I looked over as Ellis said this and watched Nero flick the flint on the lighter, a round birthday cake in front of him covered in white icing with blue trim. There was a single candle in this cake, surrounding different coloured balloons, and the words Happy Birthday written in red sugar gel.

My gaze turned from Nero to the two steel mothers in front of me. Inside the first steel mother was a fat little boy with a frock of auburn hair. He was sleeping, which he loved to do, and had a thumb pressed against his lips, no doubt slipping out of his mouth once fatigue had taken him.

Then beside that baby in the second steel mother were two skinny, gangly twin boys. They were face-to-face with each other, their faces squished and their limbs intertwined. These two were identical in every way, the only difference being that we made one of them have straight silver hair, and the other, wavy.

Not only had I watched these children grow from zygote to fetus, I had been the one to carefully implant them into the synthetic womb that would give them everything they needed to survive to birth. They’d both been my first successful chimeras, and for many months it had been me and Perish taking care of these three boys.

I was almost fifteen. It was January… and my birthday was a month away.

But today was not my birthday. Today was the day our first baby brother was born.

Cepherus Thor Sasha Dekker, or Ceph for short. He was a brute chimera, or brute chimera 2.0 as we called him just to bother Nero. The boy would be strong, powerful, six-foot-seven with muscles that will be able to snap any enemy in half. He was a marvel of engineering, and my first success.

“How long has he been asleep for?” Nero asked, excitement radiating from him as if it was his birthday and not the chubby little baby who napped so peacefully in his watery world.

“A few hours,” I said to him, and I looked past Nero to see Garrett and Ellis, both with smiles a mile wide.

My brother and sister had gone through quite the physical transformation. Six or so months ago they decided together to become goths. They were now deeply enlightened poets who held poetry meetings with their other goth friends in the chimera cave, and watched the movie The Craft over and over until the tape was worn.

Nero was still normal, thankfully, however he now only wore legionary-issue cargo pants.

Our family had changed greatly in the past two years, and yet so much of it was still the same. My siblings and I looked like adults now and we were already picking up a lot of Silas’s duties as king. Garrett was shadowing the president of Skytech and was doing college courses at the College of Skytech, Ellis was now a black belt and Silas was going to allow
