Chapter 40
After Rielle’s confession,everything changed. She told us she was forced by Norman and that he made her murder Rolan to prove herself.
I didn’t believe her one bit. But Lucien seemed to as he didn’t put her in the cell or throw her out.
I was in my room with Rick, he hadn’t spoken about Kai since his return,which was almost 3 days now. I didn’t want to pressurize him as I knew he’d speak when he was ready,but I couldn’t wait!. I need to know how my son has been.
Lucien went to the hideout and came back with no result. Norman and his other rogues had found out about Rielle’s escape and must have decided to change location.
“Rick,how did you leave your brother?,” I asked,wanting nothing more than to know how it was that only one was brought back.
I didn’t trust Rielle, but I was glad that she at least brought one of
my boys.
“Kind Luna aunty told me that she cannot get Kai out,” he said and I raised a brow.
Kind Luna aunty?Did She tell him to call her that?.
“Did she tell you to call her that?”
“No.she said she’s a Luna and she’s my aunty and she’s kind!,” he giggled. “She gave me chocolate!,”
I sighed. I don’t even know what to ask anymore. Rielle was smart. She’d know not to risk blowing her cover if indeed she was pretending,therefore she wouldn’t let
Rick know.
“Did you see the face of the man who had you guys kidnapped?,” I asked and he nodded.
“Was Rielle…Kind Luna aunty…was she very close to him?,” I asked and he nodded.
“Yes or no!,” I snapped and immediately regretted that as Rick looked like he was about to cry.
“I’m sorry,” I muttered as I began to pat his back. I forgot how much Rick loved to

cry and how Kai would tease him,calling him a crybaby.
Even if Rick had seen them being close, Rielle would say he was forcing her and so she had to act like she was fine with him.
“Mummy,is it true that we’re wolves..even you and my father is a big bad wolf?,” father is a big bad wolf?,” Rick blurted out and I paled.
I had always envisioned how I was going to tell them about their lineage. I was going to teach them everything about being a werewolf but Norman or Rielle..ruined that for me.
“Who told you that?”
“The bad man who kidnapped us. He said we’re werewolves, like the one in the movies!,” he said,sounding excited.
“Well…erm…
“Do you want to be like the people in the movies so bad?,”
We both turned to see Eva with a smile on her face,walking towards us.
I chuckled. She had saved the day,I didn’t want my children to know about anything just yet.
“Rick,this is my sister,your aunt, Eve,” I introduced.
“I’m Rick,” he said slowly as Eve ruffled his hair.
“Well aren’t you a cute one,” she said and he giggled.
“Go and play with Uncle Greyson,I need to have a word with your aunty,” I said and he giggled and went outside.
For some reasons, he had taken a liking to Greyson and was always clamouring to play with him.
“I need to see Grandma,I’ve been postponing it for a while now,” I said and Eve nodded.
“I think mother already told her about father,” she pointed out.
I chuckled,I was very sure she knew,after all she had told me to forgive Eve. But

that wasn’t why I needed to see her, I wanted to ask her about my ‘power‘. I haven’t had the chance to do that since I came back.
“There’s something else,” I confessed.
I believed that Eve had proven to be trustworthy and should know.
“I have…,” I picked up a fork that Rick had left carelessly on the floor and stabbed my palm with it. I watched Eve’s eyes and was disappointed when there wasn’t a tinge of surprise.
“You’re not surprised?,” I questioned,bewildered.
“I found out about it a long time ago, after you were attacked,”
“Why didn’t you…”
“Say anything?,” she chuckled. “Why should I?,you clearly didn’t want anyone to find out so I had to respect your wish,”
I wanted to surprise her and now I’m the surprised one.
“Do you know anything about it?,why I have such a thing?,” I questioned,hoping she might have a clue,
“Nothing at all. Grandma might. You should see her,” she stated.
“I’ll go to her today and I’m taking Rick with me,he should meet his great grandmother.”
She smiled, “it’s a good idea.”
“I don’t trust Rielle,” I shot out firmly.
“You shouldn’t. I don’t trust her either,” she said and I nodded.
“I believe she’s lying about the child being Lucien’s, and every other thing too.”
で
“She probably is. Have you spoken to him?,” she asked and I scoffed.
“He doesn’t seem to have my time as he’s too busy with Rielle.”
“Don’t let her take him from you,” She cautioned.

I bit my lower l*ps and inhaled deeply. “I’ll figure out what to do about that. Right now,I need to meet grandma,” I stated and she nodded.
“You have a much higher claim to becoming Luna than anyone else,” she stated matter of factly.
The moment I got to our home, I knew something was very wrong. It was like deja
vu.
I glanced at Rick who was grinning from ear to ear at the prospect of meeting a new family member.
The door was ajar and I inhaled deeply,holding my son tightly. Something was amiss,Grandma never left the door open,she was always particular about that.
“Grandma?,” I called out as I entered to meet a mess in the living room. I held Rick tighter,afraid of whatever was in there.
Everything was destroyed. The television smashed in, the sofas were upturned. I held an involuntary breath as I entered the inner room.
I gasped as my eyes landed on the b*dy on the ground. I quickly spun Rick around to face me and I embraced him tightly.
“Mummy what’s wrong?,” He asked and I sniffed.
I didn’t realize that I had been crying.
“It’s Nothing sweetheart,it’s nothing.” I said soothingly,trying to comfort myself.
It was just like seeing my mother die all over again,only this time,it was my grandmother and I had one of my boys with me.
“Sweetheart,I want you to do something for me. Will you do that?,” I asked, still hugging him.
“Yes mommy,” he replied.
“Close your eyes and no matter what you hear,do not open them,do you promise to do that?,”
“Yes mommy,I promise,” he replied and I pulled away from him,making sure he

was faced away from the gruesome scene.
I dug into my bag and removed my EarPods,making sure it was playing the theme. of his favourite Nickelodeon show. After putting them on his ear and making sure his eyes were still closed, I shifted,noticing how easy it was this time.
I walked towards the scene,careful not to growl. My grandmother was on the ground in a pool of her own blood. I stood beside her and began to sniff around.
I knew she was dead,the stench of blood was still fresh,it couldn’t have been more than an hour since she died.
The blood creek did this, Norman! or Rielle!. But why?.
I howled loudly,this time, not caring about Rick who had started muttering something. They’ve taken another person from me!. They took Grandma and gave. me Rick. That bloody lying pretentious b*tch!.
“Mummy?,” Rick called out,the howling probably frightened him.
“Mum..mummy,” he continued calling. It sounded like he was about to cry.
I shifted quickly as I went to embrace him.
“Shhhh,it’s fine,mummy’s here,” I said soothingly,the image of my grandmother and of my mother lying dead never leaving my mind.
“Mummy was that a wolf?,” he asked and I kept quiet.
“I heard the sound that bad man usually makes after he’s turned to a wolf. Mummy are you a wolf?,” he asked and I pulled him away.
Maybe I wasn’t as careful as I thought. Maybe this ‘power‘ of mine was something important,but how?.
If Eve could find out about it,then someone else could. Maybe Rielle and her spies. I was already convinced that Rielle had people working for her in the mansion. It’ll make sense,to understand what has been going on.
“What else did this bad man tell you?,” I asked Rick as I knelt to be the same level. as he.
“He said I and Kai are Alpha wolves.”
