Chapter 134
Claire's POV
My anger is now directed at Lolly, she told the one person who wanted to ruin me and didn't tell me. Maybe she's right. Maybe if I was brought up with respect and promise of safety, security, respect, and honor. But no that's not how it is and I will never satisfy my destiny.
I understand what Scars been doing now
"she's telling the alphas what I am" my realization comes whispered from my mouth, my pounding heart stops completely in true realization
"and they'll come after me" I breath out the remaining breath in my lungs. Herk...he's one of them.
"I..." I'm completely speechless.
"Since your existence was kept so quiet not many believed in the prophecy. But with Tara telling the werewolf world...I fear you won't be safe from the most ruthless of Alphas. This wasn't how it was supposed to be." she explains and that's when I feel my most hopeless
We sit in silence for a moment "so either way...I'm screwed"
"No child, I'm sure Alpha Martin will try his best to keep them out of his pack until you make up your mind"
"What do you mean make up my mind?! You mean if I decide to sleep with every unmated alpha? To me there seems like no other option as you've put it." At my outburst she looks away from me "I have to go" I stand and my body aches, the fire inside me grows as I move, producing more sweat and my heart to buzz.
"Claire no, you must stay here" she says but I doge past her and keep moving through the house, my balance only altering my steps slightly
"I protected your scent in human form but that might not be enough!" She calls out
All I can do is run. I run with every fiber of energy I have left within me. My body aches all over and the heat expands throughout my entirety but I don't care.
"Claire don't do this! Come back!" Lolly screams at me but I keep running.
All I can do is run. I run with every fiber of energy I have left within me. My body aches all over and the heat expands throughout my entirety but I don't care.
By now it's almost nightfall. The sky is a beautiful shade of pink and orange, the deep blue of night raising to cover the sky.
It can't be me.
The icy air feels like fire in my lungs and the sweat on my body clings to the air as I rush past it. I have to find the truth. With every thought in my head the real pain is in my heart. Martin. What will he think. I feel like screaming. Tears pour down my face and my feet keep moving, the sticks and rock digging into my heel.
I hear a loud howl. Then another...then another. My body freezes. It's probably Martin and his wolves looking for me. I could easily go to him...forget what she just said and call her crazy. My heart clenches at the stupid thought and I keep moving. Trudging my way around trees and branches. One destination in mind.
I keep going and soon my destination is in sight. I hear the howls getting closer and I quickly move in. I bang my hand on the door hard. My breathing is rugged and comes out in hard pants
"Mom! Dad!" I scream, the tears still fresh on my cheeks. I keep banging for what feels like hours until I finally hear footsteps.
My mother answers the door. Already in her robe, hairs half way out of curlers.
"Claire?" She asks in a rush, fear passing over her eyes for half a second
"what are you doing here?" She asks, two curlers in her hands
"Honey who is it?" I hear my fathers deep voice echo throughout their new home
Before she can answer my fathers hand creeps around the door and opens it wider, his figure appearing.
"Oh you" he spits
"come to torture your mother more? Or maybe kick us out of the pack completely" he scoffs and rolls his eyes
"I know you've been lying...Lolly told me what I am, who I actually am" I wish this was better than what they had even telling me all my life...but I don't know what is worse.
My mother drops her curlers and my father drops his jaw. They don't say another word but my mother moves from the doorway and I follow, my fathers eyes staying on me. I wipe my tears and find my mother in there living room. She's slouch over, head in hands, a cry escaping her lips.
At this sight I know everything Lolly said was true
"tell me everything" I demand, my tears stained cheeks dry
She looks up at me and shakes her head
"I did it for your protection you selfish girl" she groans as my father comes to in, his eyes never leaving me as he goes to sit next to my mother
"I knew this day would come"
"Why didn't you just tell me the truth" I beg
"How could I?! It would ruin me, no one would have believed me that my child was the one...it had to be a secret" she says in a hurry
"Tell me from the beginning" I say, my body frozen in place, standing in front of them.
She again looks up at me
"it was two months before I met your father..." she begins "well.. Bryan" she looks at him and his face turns to anger "there was a man...he- we" she pauses
"I was completely entranced by him...he told me he chose me. I was the one to carry the future" she looks me in my eyes "you"
"he was the moon god?" I whisper what Lolly told me
"Yes in the form he chose...the prophecy said-" tears flow over her glassy eyes
"Amaris...your middle name it means child of the moon."
"Ok so why lie? Why couldn't you have told me...it wasn't my fault. I-" I say softly
"Because it wasn't right! The moon god knew I was coming! I was her true mate! He tried to take her from me" Jonathan growls, I'm shocked as his hate towards the god who has made him the creature he is
My mother takes his hand and tries to calm him
"I didn't deserve your hate" my eyes water once again but he just rolls his eyes
"Every time I look at you I think of how I betrayed Bryan" she tells me
"I didn't know what the moon god meant before I saw you change. All I knew was I got pregnant by a random man and met my mate two months later" she looks at Bryan
"I'm just lucky he took me" her eyes shed tears again
"when we saw you shift we had no idea what to think" she says "we went to Lolly and she told us the story and then we swore to keep it quiet and to hide it from you"
I finally fall into a seat
"so I'm the daughter of the moon god" I whisper
"it's true then....my purpose in life is to mate with alphas?" I say more in realization than to them
"Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, the moon god should have just produced more stronger alphas by giving them to the alphas through there Luna's. Not this whorish-" Bryan begins
"Dad stop" I hear a voice come around the corner, her hazel eyes shift to me
"ignore him"
"Excuse me?" He says
"Don't you see that this is hard enough for her?" Bervely says, blonde curls up in a ponytail.
Everyone is silent once again, I see a few tears fall down my mother cheeks but for what? Is it out of regret? Anger? Sadness?
"Five years ago I heard the parents talking to Lolly...all I heard was you weren't my fathers daughter...that you were some intruders child...that's when I started to hate you. I hated that you weren't my real sister. I blamed you. But now that I know the truth....I'm sorry. I'm sorry for our mother and I'm sorry for my father and how we have all treated you" she turns to the parents
"you both should be ashamed...this isn't her fault and now the night before her birthday she has to deal with her life destiny"
Hearing these words come out of her mouth shocks me just about as much as everything else that has happened tonight. No one speaks a word.
"I just didn't want to face the truth...you're going to go off and rule with every alpha. I didn't know how to raise you for that...so I kept it from you." She whispers her next words
"no one would have believed me"
"Well now it's here" I tell her and we all freeze when we hear loud howls closing in. I can't stay here. I can't go to Martin. I can't be with Lolly. I don't trust anyone and I need time to figure this out. I stand up quickly, Bryan keeps looking at me with the same look I've gotten from him my whole life...but now I understand it.
I look away from my parents
"if they come do not tell them I was here" I turn to leave. Bervely looks away from me in shame but I touch her shoulder "thank you" I say quietly and she offers me a small smile
With more tears in my eyes I walk out the door...with no where to go.
