Chapter 38 – Meeting the mother – part 1

When they reached the Hospital, Mr. Sellas opened the door for Aniya and said, “I am going to tell my daughter to come here. She can stay with your mother while you rest for a while. I am sure her new boyfriend will also come. He looks mean and tough, but when he is near her, he is more like a kitten. They make a delightful couple, like you and your boyfriend.”

He winked and went to his seat, driving away while Aniya was looking at the taxi leaving, absolutely speechless. She faced Nick and made an awkward smile. “I guess we should get in, right?”

Nick offered his arm for her to grab, and Aniya leaned her head on his shoulder as they were walking.

When they were already in the Hospital corridor, on their way to her mother’s room, Aniya said in a low voice. “Nick… I… I want to say I am sorry. I was kind of mean to you last time. When we… You know, when we were in the bedroom. I guess… I think I was too angry because of everything that happened about the fight, the deaths, Violet… I was counting on you to make me forget everything, and you kept on messing up. I know you didn’t do it on purpose, but at that time, I think I needed someone to blame. And you were right there…”

“That’s okay. At least I learned what you like, or at least a few things. I just need to punish you next time. Maybe even making you squirt a lot so that you splatter all over the mattress. I also want to slap your butt for you to learn how to behave.”

“And you just ruined everything… I was being serious here!”

Nick stopped, gently pulled her chin next to him, and said in a low voice while looking deeply into her eyes. “I was also talking seriously. You either put a diaphragm, a IUD, or start taking the pill because next time I will not use any condoms and I will make you scream as if the World was about to end. How does that sound? Serious enough for you?”

Aniya gulped and stuttered. “Y-yes, s-serious enough.”

Nick gave her a slight peck on her lips and gently bit her lower lip. “I will make you scream you love me, even if I die from the effort.”

Aniya felt her legs turning to jelly, and a faint yellow light enveloped them. Nick poked her nose and warned her. “Focus, Aniya. You are shining. You can’t ever lose control of your light, remember? Lucky for us, there is no one around, but one day, there could be.”

Aniya took a slow deep breath, and when her light vanished, she gently punched Nick’s chest. “It was your fault! You distracted me!”

“Better get used, because I intend on being your favourite distraction.”

Aniya turned bright red and held his arm. She glanced at him as they were walking again, and said in a low voice, “I love you too… there… I said it… happy now?”

“No, not happy at all. You need to do a better job than that, for me to believe you will not exchange me for the next pretty face you meet.”

“This… is not the right place for that. In the corridor of a Hospital, when I am about to introduce you to my mother? No, not the right time.”

Nick grinned and asked, “Really? And how will you introduce me to your mother? As your assistant? A personal servant? The man that you like to bully?”

“No, of course not! As my… boyfriend… as the… man I love…”

“No, I am not buying that. You seem to be struggling way too much for my taste. Say that I am your friend, then. That will give me an excuse to check out the nurses. You can stay with your mother while I go see if I can find a pretty one.”

That remark granted him a punch in the stomach so strong that he bent forward and gasped for air. Aniya pulled his ear and whispered into it. “Do that, and I will slice your dick and make you swallow it. I will introduce you as my boyfriend. You will smile at my mother, be polite, and never leave my side. Capisce?“

“Uff… Yeah, here comes the bully… I am so going to make you pay for this, mark my words… I will make you scratch the wall like an angry kitten. You will growl and purr like crazy… You will beg me to continue, and I will slap your butt, and you won’t be able to sit properly for a week! And in the end, you will thank me for the best night of your life!”

Aniya glanced around and covered Nick’s mouth. “Shut up! Are you nuts? Do you want everyone to hear you? Geez!”

Nick stood up straight and grinned. “You started this. Now, grab my arm and behave, or I will start screaming what I am going to do to you on our next night alone, for everyone to hear!”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“Wanna bet? Don’t mess with me, you brat or I am going to teach you how to treat your man!”

Aniya immediately closed her mouth. She walked in silence next to him, feeling her body hot and her panties becoming wet. She spoke in a low tone. “I… never thought you could be this crazy… kind of surprising...”

“And exciting, at least? Because you look flushed, I am feeling your body trembling, and I hear your heart pumping like crazy. And I can even smell an interesting and sweet thing down below. Or am I mistaken?”

Aniya didn’t answer. Her silence was the proof he needed, and Nick kissed her head while whispering. “You don’t need to be worried about what happened yesterday. You will see, we will get used to each other. It’s just a matter of finding our tempo.”

When they reached the door of Aniya’s mother, she took a slow deep breath and made an awkward smile. “Here goes nothing…”

She opened the door and saw Davis seated in a chair, reading a magazine. Violet seemed to be sleeping, but the moment Aniya asked how her mother was, she opened her eyes. “Aniya… Is that you? Where… Oh, the Hospital, right… Silly me…”

“Hello, mother. Are you feeling better?”

Aniya approached and sat on the empty chair near the bed and held her mother’s hands. Violet gave a slight smile that quickly changed to a grimace of pain because of her split lower lip. She looked at Aniya with one eye half-closed, while the other was completely shut and swollen.

Her cheeks were bruised, her neck had finger red marks and scratches, and her voice came out hoarse from her sour throat because of how strongly her now-deceased husband strangled her. “The Doctor said that he thinks I won’t lose my eye, but it’s still too soon to know for sure. Everything else will heal with time. Well, not everything… Dan did some horrible things to me, Aniya… I will take a long time to recover. I will need to use a catheter for some weeks.”

“A catheter? For peeing? Why?”

Violet felt her half-open eye filling with tears, and she blinked to get rid of them before answering. “He kicked me, Aniya… down there… Many times… The Doctor said I am all bruised and sore. He gave me some strong painkillers, that’s why I can barely keep my eye open... I am all messed up, Aniya… The Doctor even said I will need plastic surgery down there, to fix the damage.”

“Mother… I am so sorry… If I was home, none of this-“

Violet tapped Aniya’s hand. “You couldn’t know, sweetie. All of this was my fault, I know that. I should have told him years ago, but he would have left me, and I loved him so much. He got injured, badly injured, during one mission. One Werewolf almost killed him. For months, he was resentful and our marriage was falling apart. I tried, but I couldn’t make him feel better. He didn’t even want to be near me or touch me. I was just so, so sad when I met your real father, Andreas Hansen. He was so handsome, and we talked for hours the first time we met. We got together a few times, for some months.”

“I understand, mother. You don’t have to explain yourself to me.”

As if she was lost in her memories, Violet continued, “Dan recovered, and we talked a lot. He apologised, and he swore he would never get angry at me if I forgave him for being so cold to me. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew it was from Andreas, but I lied to myself, saying that for sure it was from Dan, but I knew. I didn’t say a word to Dan, Aniya. I knew he would kill you. Even during all the beating and the torture, I didn’t say a word. I don’t care if you are a Werewolf or not, you are my sweet daughter. And I know I am stupid, but what hurt me more was not the pain, it was seeing him so angry. I loved him so much for all these years… and he did this to me… He hurt me, Aniya… He hurt me so much…”

Aniya sobbed and spoke between tears. “I am sorry, mother… I didn’t know… I left yesterday because I was so angry about what happened during my mission… Violet tried to kill me, mother! She was a Werewolf working for the Hunters, and I think Blake Garvin from the High Council ordered her to kill me, just because I insisted on joining a Hunter Squad!”

“My poor child… I didn’t know she was a Werewolf or a Hunter… You lost your friend and your father… And you almost lost me… I am so, so sorry, Aniya… I should have never let your father prepare you for the Hunters… I should have kept you away, but that stupid code… The code says I need to continue my pure bloodline… That our fight is honourable and needed…”

“Honourable? Needed? Mother, Hunters are wrong about so many things! If that bunch of lunatics were honourable, my friend would still be alive. If my father… If Dan was honourable, he wouldn’t have done this to you… I… I will make them pay…”

Violet gently squeezed her daughter’s hands and slowly shook her head. “You can’t go against them, Aniya. They are far too powerful.”

Aniya cleaned her tears and her faint yellow light surrounded her as she said, “No, mother, they are not so powerful as they think. Don’t worry, I will make them pay. I will take a toe, a finger, or even a tooth for every hit you took and every death they caused. Until all is paid. This, I swear. They will all regret the day they dared to turn my friend against me. The way they turned my father into a maniac eager for blood and only cared about a fucking code. You suffered for hours because of them. Now, I will make them suffer…”

“What… are you going to do… and… you are glowing… Aniya…”

Nick approached and placed both hands on her shoulders and spoke. “Calm down, Aniya, you are losing control…”

She shone even brighter, and Violet covered her eye with her hand to protect it from the sudden light. She heard Aniya’s icy voice and felt a shiver run down her body because of all the hate her voice carried. “Calm down, Nick? Calm down? Because of that group of psychopaths, my friend Violet tried to kill me, and she is now dead. My father, who raised me and loved me, is dead. My mother almost died and she will take forever to recover. And you say for me to calm down?”

As suddenly as her light appeared, it disappeared. Aniya faced her mother again and said in a strangely calm and low voice. “I won’t forget what they did, and I will make sure they cease to exist. Every single one of them. I will be known as Aniya Rossi, the strongest Luna that ever lived. Hunters will hear my name, and they will tremble. I will go after every Hunter bloodline. I will kill them all and make sure their sons and daughters don’t dare to follow their family tradition. And you, Nick, you will help me with this. All the way. Are you with me or not?”

“I am your Alpha, Aniya. You plan, I will join our forces, and I will lead. I have been killing Hunters for all these years. A few more deaths won’t be a problem.”

Violet looked up and stared at the green-eyed man that was smiling gently at her. “Aniya… Who is he? And what are that Luna and Alpha? Is he…”
