Chapter 140
Staring at the space that moments ago Ambrose was standing still in shock. He popped back and placed a necklace in my hand that was a miniature version of the box. It felt both warm and cold in my hand.
What did he mean to link my dad? How? I have not been able to reach him or find I’m in almost two years. A knock on the door breaks my shock. “Enter” the door opens revealing a guard and the she-wolf who claimed to be my aunt Braylynn. She looks like my dad a tiny smidgen. Okay, a lot but still.
“I take it your ready to talk nicely and with respect?” she nods. Holding my hand out in the universal take-a-seat motion. She nods. “thank you Tarrah just wait outside please.” “uh alpha um well Lune Kai said” “yes yes I’m sure he did. But he’s not my boss.” I smirk at her. She grins and nods stepping out and shutting the door.
“don’t take my state as a sign of weakness. I can still kick some ass.” Shaking her head. “no, no that’s not it. It’s just I never had pups and well I think I missed my chance. I missed seeing ray and Phil have pups. I don’t know about ray but Phil he did well with you. So how did your mother die? Mine died having me and ray you know.”
Tilting my head trying not to show the shock I felt. Some of those details were never made public. “oh and what happened to your brother?” she snaps her fingers. Setting back I just stare at her.
“I told you he’s dead.”
Glaring at me “how?” she spits out. Smirking “answer my questions and I’ll answer that.” Tapping my fingers over my belly. “what do you want to know?” “first where have you been?”
“Away”
“Not good enough.”
Sighing she drops her shoulders slumping back in the chair. “I was to the far east in the white river pack. I was the face of the Lune. Sorta.” “what does that mean?”
“well okay, so one of my father’s long-time friends found his mate was human. His pack would never allow it as he was the future alpha so he had to have a strong Luna. Terry well she wasn’t the healthiest of humans to start. So even after being marked, she was still too weak. Any she-wolf could have challenged her for the Luna title. He reached out to his father and he agreed. So I volunteered as ray found her mate and was already on her way to the black lake in the south.
So I was marked as the Luna in front of the pack so they believed me to be the alpha's mate. Tarrah was a Luna through and through just needed the right mouthpiece.” She finishes.
“And what changed?” “nothing and everything. The Tarrah was killed by Wesley. He then pledged loyalty to the winters in a plan to murder my brother and my pack. So on the way to the castle, I slipped away. Found a trail of young wolves traveling with a bunch of pups. I followed the. To keep them safe. You know rogues and all. Then I heard one boy ask another how much further until the black rose so I introduced myself to the group and helped get them here.” She shrugs. “do you know how painful it was to cross back over the border? Whatever wards uncle Ambrose is playing with are strong.”
“uncle who?” sitting forward both to move these little demons around and get them off my bladder and I’m intrigued. “uncle Ambrose oh you have to know uncle Ambrose he’s “ she looks around making sure no one was listening “he's a witch?” she giggles. The sound is the same as Eris. “so gold eyes the rumors were true my brother stole the princess?” “what do you mean?” leaning my elbows on the desk leaning my head on my joined hands.
She looks me over searching my face. When an evil smirk spreads. “bit first you have not answered my question.” Huffing “he was murdered by rogue king” jumping up she shakes her head. “when?” she asked coldly. Rolling my eyes “when he was two. Along with my mother.” “wrong. Not possible. Tell me the truth.” She demands. I could not hide my shock and confusion.
“How are you so positive it couldn’t be the rogue king? Do you know who he is?” “of course I don’t. But I do know that the rogue king can not touch the heir until he reaches the age of eighteen. How do you not know this. You’re a twin are you not?” tilting my head trying to control my temper. “how would you know if I was a twin or not?” “second and third is a set of twins. Two she-wolves a male and female or two males. I take it your third born seeing you’re a she-wolf.” She waves her hand.
“you're giving me a headache. Tell me what you know about their plan.” “I did. It’s not like they took me to the alpha meetings.” She rolls her eyes. “alphas of what packs?” “What part of I don’t know I was not at them did you not understand.” Growling when the room fills with lavender and fog. And squeals
“Uncle Ambrose” she squeals so loud it felt like my ears were bleeding. “Braylynn? What happened? Why are you here? How did you get here child? You got old?” Ambrose rushes out looking her over. If I had questions about her claim I was just answered. “and you haven’t so not fair by the way.” She pouts and he laughs. “so answer the question. Is your sister still at black lake?” “as far as I know she is. You know no contact rule.” She shrugs and he shakes his head. “so why are you not at white river?” “Wesley killed Tarrah. I don’t know why. He demanded I was to be his mate in every way now. And he swore loyalty to whoever takes over the black rose.” Shaking his head. “your brother will be happy to see you when he gets back.” “if I stay.” She shrugs.
like she has a choice.
