Chapter 16
Damien pov
Aria had us stop at my room which will be our room I hope. Thinking to myself maybe we need a bigger room this room is too small for three. I'll wait to make plans til after talking to lady Olivia. Aria grabbed an envelope and we set off.
After a twenty minutes walk holding hands with my mates, we finally make it to the hut. Knocking I hear “ come in young alpha, beta and mate” aria looks at us scared. “it's okay she's sweet mostly,” I tell her. “I heard that young alpha.” Brendon laughs. We walk in to see lady Olivia standing at the sink filling a kettle. her long white hair free and wild. She asks over her shoulder “coffee right?” “yes, ma’am.” I reply “shhhhh Olivia is fine young alpha.” She says waving her hand. “only if you call me Damien .” I say back. “and Brendon” Brendon adds as aria goes to open her mouth when Olivia's silver eyes and on her. “oh my stars you are alive.” The kettle started to slip from her hands. Brendon lunges catching the kettle and placing it on the stove. Helping Olivia to a chair as she stares at aria with a huge smile on her face.
Lady Olivia pov
As soon as I turned around my silver eyes met her silver eyes. The shock had me lose the grip I had on the kettle my knees going weak. Brendon grabs the kettle while Damien helps me to a chair. I can't take my eyes off her. I haven't seen that face in 19 years. She looks just like her. How can this be where has she been?
“Brendon dear I think we might need a stronger drink for this talk please retrieve the bottle from the tip shelf” he nods and does as she says. “okay shall we then,” I state looking around. Damien starts “ Olivia how is it that I have two mates. Do I have to choose? Is there something wrong with the mate bond?” he finishes breathless worry etched across his face. “no child there is nothing wrong with you or your bonds. You have two mates because you are meant to.. “ looking at the young girl I realize I don’t know her name. “aria Gealach” she says. I shake my head “ that may be your first name but that is not your surname my dear. Back to what I was saying aria is why you have two mates “ I tell them. Brendon says “I thought you could only have two mates with twins?” “well for most that can be true but you see your Aria here is a very special wolf,” I tell them.
Aria holds a letter up asking if what's written is true and if I know how to find out who her parents are. Taking the letter I read it. Looking at them I say “can I see into your past and show your mates as well.” She looks scared but nods. I hold my hand out telling them all to hold my hand. Closing my eyes I reach into her past
Flashback
running through the woods as my wolf. Giving Sara full control while I think of a plan. We had to get away we have this bundle to care for. She is so special and no one knows. The blood moon pack attacked out of nowhere. They came in the cover of peace. But it was a lie they just wanted to get close to the alpha and take him out in a surprise attack. They were always jealous of the moonbeam pack. They swear the moon goddess favored them. And maybe she did the alpha is a descendant of one of her sons. The only line that never bared a daughter always mated to an alpha making them a strong pack. With no heir after the alpha was murdered the pack fell. His Luna screamed in pain yelling for her pup. We were all confused there was no pup.
The kitchen omegas and I saw what was happening we ran to the nursery grabbed the little moonbeams and ran. There were six babies in the nursery two males and four females. We just grabbed and bundled them up so we can carry them in our wolf forms. We are faster and stronger than our wolves. I know if I make it to the border I can find a place to hide. I'll go rouge raise this pup telling her stories of the amazing pack she came from. Luck was not on my side a rouge steps in my way. I lay the pup down next to a tree and confront this mud-brown rouge. I may be an omega but we all train so we Ran north helpless. Fighting him I have the upper hand being smaller and faster. My silver wolf is smaller and faster. Ripping the flesh from his hind legs. All of. Sudden. The big black wolf jumps over me ripping into a red wolf. The rouge I’m fighting howls out dropping down in pain. taking advantage I rip out his throat. Dripping the chunk of the neck I look at the black wolf. Dropping my head in thanks and take off. Grabbing my bundle and heading again for the border. I'm almost the but then I’m tackled from the back. It’s the black wolf. He grabs the bundle from me steps back and shifts. “SHIFT MUTT!” he yells with an alpha aura. Shifting back I’m on my knees reaching for the pup. “who are you and whose pup is this?” he asks I say the only thing I can think of is i. Sandy and she's mine. Being in the nursery all day has her smelling like several she-wolves myself included along without fading the vanilla undertone of our alpha. My heart clenched at the thought of our alpha and Luna.
He's looking at me with lust in his eyes. “the moonbeam pack is no more. You can join my pack willingly and do as I say or you and your brat will die here. Choose one.” I bow my head in submission “ I will join you alpha. Can I have my pup back?” tossing the pup to me he grabs my hair yanking me up. “ you will be I. The pack but you'll never be anything other than my slave do you understand?” “y..y..ye..yessss aa..aalpha.” stumble over my works holding the pup close to me. “you and only you care for your mutt of a pup if I so much as see anyone else with it I will kill it do you understand?” nodding my head as tears roll down my cheek. “good. Not come mutt time to go home.”
End of flashback
Damien yanks his hand away from us jumping up and pacing back and forth. “D, what's wrong?” Brendon asks. “you know that dream I’ve been having for months?” he asks looking at Brendon who nods then he looks to me and aria “that was my dream well there was more it always stopped at me chasing the silver wolf. But if that’s her past why am I chasing her? I would never hurt her.” Damien is ranting. “calm child the dream was to help you see. The goddess wanted to prepare you for what happened. But she can only show you so much.” I tell him both aria and Brendon go to him and he calms down. “okay time for the hard stuff what I’m about to tell you I will have to tell the alpha as well. We must prepare for war.” I say. Three sets of eyes snap to me “war?” they all say at once I nod. “as I said your last name is not Gealach though your mother naming you the moon is fitting. Sit down and let me tell you a tale.
As we all know the moon goddess Selene had two mates and with her mates had many children. When it was decided she could no longer stay on earth with her children she decided to make her youngest son the peacekeeper of the wolves. To make sure his line was strong her son would only have sons. And those sobs would be mated to alpha-born she-wolves. So creating the moonbeam pack. Her son wanted to pay thanks to her mother for taking the surname, Mani. Many many years later the goddess was given a prophecy of war and the end of wolves. So she declared when the time is needed the moonbeam aloha will have a daughter. She will be very strong and protected by having two mates as she had. For she will need strong mates as she will be the alpha of alphas. She and her mates will rule over all wolves. Not with power in their hearts but peace. She will resemble the moon goddess in many ways. She will have hair as dark as the night sky, and eyes the color of the silver moonlight. Her mates will be of a strong pack who have taken the role of helping keep the peace between packs.
As I finish my tell they are all looking at me deep in thought when aria asks
