Chapter 33

Danny’s POV
*“Are you kids coming up to the office?”* Dad mind links; waking me up. *“What time is it?”* I ask him, half asleep. *“5.30”* “He can’t be serious?” Claudia yawns, rolling over. “I think he is” I sleepily answer, heading into the bathroom. “I’ll get a bottle ready for Sophia; Dad can feed her, if he is pulling us out of bed this early” she huffs, stifling another yawn.
“You decided to bottle feed?” I ask her; “Yeah, I spoke with mum when I picked Sophia up from her. She told me she had problems feeding me when I was a baby. The milk she produced didn’t sustain me and I was always hungry. The moment she changed to formula; I was more content. Mum fed her formula last night and she slept for 4 hours” she answered me. I look at her surprised; “I didn’t know that could happen” I tell her. “It’s quite common apparently.”
*“We’re still waiting?”* Dad mind links again. *“Don’t get your panties in a twist; I’m getting Sophia ready”* Claudia screams back at him.
*“I’ve just changed her diaper and have her bottle ready for you to feed her; we’ll be up shortly”* Claudia links him again. *“A simple, I’m on my way, will suffice” “Maybe; but you got me out of bed, so I’m T M I’ing you”* she snickers.
“Morning” I grunt coming through the door of Dad’s office. “Good morning” Simon says cheerily. Tim, Jason and Rick all grunt back at me. “We thought we should get an early start to today” Cynthia informs us. “You should have thought about those who have a baby and have to get up to her during the night” Claudia snarls at her.
“We found out why Danny is special and it’s not just Danny and Claudia” Dad continues ignoring Claudia’s protests as he takes Sophia and places the bottle to her mouth. I head over to the painting and remove the book, placing my hand on the front cover, opening it again.
“There’s nothing in it” Simon says; watching me open up to the first page. “Tim, can you tell him what you see?” I ask him. “Shit; is that you and Claudia?” he answers as Rick, Cynthia and Jason come over to the book. “We can’t see it; it’s for those that are reincarnations of the first Alpha and Luna, plus their warriors” Dad informs him.
“Their warriors?” Jason asks him as I turn to the next page. “Fucking hell!” Cynthia gasps, jumping on the spot and Jason does a double take over the page. “We were telling Dad last night what it said” Claudia informs Simon. “We found a page that was interesting” I tell everyone, scrolling through the next few pages.
“I suppose we should all place our hands on the page” Tim says to us. “Claudia and I tried last night, but nothing happened. We were wondering if we all had to do it at once” I mention to everyone. “Dad, do you mind moving over to the couch and we will do this around your desk?” Claudia asks him and he moves from behind his desk to the couch with Sophia.
I place the book on the desk and the six of us stand around it. “Ready?” Rick questions, looking between the six of us. “Ready” we all answer together; placing our hand over the page.
“Hello Teancum, Elsie, Deirdre, Micha, Levi and Ezra. I am Bernadette; the witch Goddess Selene and Goddess Hecate asked to produce this book for you. It will show all of your past lives and what you can do to defeat what known threat you have now. Please be careful; especially you Elsie. The white wolf is known to have the abilities you all possess.”
She finishes her introduction and memories come flooding back like a movie reel. One after the other. My love for Claudia is very strong throughout each life. I was stunned to find out, I had called her Snow Blossom in all my previous lives. Once the memories were finished, we were standing around Dad’s desk once more.
“Umm; I have nothing to say about what just happened” Tim exclaims. “I do; I can officially say, I trust you and Rick again” I laugh at him. “We need to find Bernadette or maybe an ancestor of hers” Claudia chimes in.
I smile at Claudia; “What?” “Nothing, Snow Blossom” I state as she rolls her eyes at me. “What happened?” Simon asks looking at the six of us. “We know who we are; or were” Rick informs him. “Tracey has always been my mate” Jason says smiling. “Same with Chelsea” Tim informs us. “Rick?” Simon asks. “Denise is a different mate. I guess I am like Cynthia” he chuckles; holding back some information.
“We all know what happened” Tim announces to the room. “It still hurts; I can feel what Zachariah felt” he spits. “Care to inform us?” Dad asks, hopeful. “Rick’s mate and my mate; umm betrayed us. Because of that; they were punished and we both have a different mate” Cynthia explains to Dad and Simon. “Betrayed? As in?” Simon asks. “Rick or Zachariah caught them having sex and then they joined those we were fighting against” Claudia answers him.
“Bernadette said something about a threat we may be facing now. I don’t know of any threat and I sure as hell, don’t want to go chasing one” I tell everyone as a knock comes on the door.
“Alpha Henry, there is a lady here by the name of Sariah. She says she needs to speak with Teancum and Elsie. I’ve told her there is nobody here by that name” Joslyn says at the doorway of the office. “Show her in; I will sort out what she is looking for” Dad answers her.
Joslyn moves out of the way and a petite woman with purple hair and green eyes walks through the door. I sniff the air; “you aren’t a wolf?” I smile at her. “No, I am the great, great, great granddaughter of Bernadette. The moment you all placed your hands on your book, it transported me here” she informs us.
“How do you know about the book?” Dad asks her. “The power it possesses is passed down to the first born from generation to generation; we have a book of our own. My son will be the next one to gain the knowledge when I have passed on” she explains to us.
“The fact you are here; do you know anything about a threat we are facing?” Claudia asks Sariah. “No, Luna Elsie. I do not. I was hoping you may have known about one” she answers. “It’s Claudia now, Sariah” she smiles at her. “It’s more of problem than I thought. How can we defeat a threat; if we don’t know of one?” she says under her breath. “Are there others; a werecat or werebear?” Simon asks.
“Not to my knowledge. I still have their books in my possession. I wonder if the vampires know anything?” she proclaims. “Vampires? I suppose I can send a message to the king of vampires” Dad answers her. “He may know something” she hesitantly answers. “Would he be doing something?” Simon asks her. “No. I’m not hesitant about that. He may not know about us. I don’t know who does and who doesn’t” she answers. “He should; he helped us last time” I tell them.
“I could ask him and see what he comes back with” Dad informs her, turning on his computer. “It couldn’t hurt” Simon responds. “Who are you? I know Teancum, Elsie or Claudia, Ezra, Deidre, Micha and Levi” she asks, looking at Simon. “Sariah, I’m now Danny, this is Jason, Cynthia, Tim and Rick. We have Simon; our master trainer and Tim’s father and Alpha Henry, Claudia’s father.” “And the baby? Is she your sister Claudia?” she asks, looking at Dad holding Sophia. “Sophia, she is our daughter” Claudia answers her, looking at me.
“You have a child? Have you ever had pups?” She asks us, stunned at the information. “Yes, a few times over the centuries” I answer her. “I wasn’t sure. I know Elsie gets hunted, whenever a white wolf appears” Sariah tells us. “I have and this lifetime has been no exception. We have kept Mandy’s existence as confidential as we could. There have been a few who have found out and wanted me for themselves. Danny’s father and brother are a part of them” Claudia explains.
“Is that how you found Claudia; because of your father?” She questions. “No; it was Claudia who found and saved me” I chuckle at her.
“That could be why there is no threat. The knowledge of your existence is still confidential and whoever is planning on attacking the shifter population is still in hiding” she responds. “I still don’t like the thought of a threat” Dad informs us; moving from behind his desk again and handing me Sophia.
“I’ve got to go; Tracey just went into labour” Jason yells, racing out the door. “Who’s Tracey?” “Jason’s mate; you might know her as Miranda” I tell her.
“I just emailed King Oliver. Whether he gets the email or a subordinate does, we will find out” he tells us. “Do you need somewhere to stay the night?” Claudia asks Sariah. “No; I should be getting back. I’ll leave you my number, if anything happens; call me” she answers; grabbing a pen and paper from Dad’s desk and writing her number on it.
She says an incantation and walks through an invisible wall; disappearing into thin air. “Where did she go?” Tim asks trying to put his hand through where she disappeared. “I think she teleported to her home” Simon chuckles at him.
“We better get down to the hospital” Claudia giggles. “I think so” I include.
