Claire
I never thought I would ever be back here at my childhood home and coven, but I need my brother's help before something bad happens to my daughter. Wondering how my brother will react when he sees me for the first time in 20-plus years. I know he will look slightly older than me since he is the elder leader for our coven but he does not have a son so I would be next in line, but I was never born with any magic, and I never wanted to be tested either. I was happy and content as a werewolf.
My mother was a wolf, and my father was a witch. My father was not her true mate, but they connected, and it was love at first sight, which led my mother choosing him as her chosen mate. I always wonder if she ever knew her true mate or just never went looking for him.
''So, is mother still alive?''
″Yes, but she is nonverbal after dad died and will only communicate by writing. We see little of her since she moved into that cabin near the edge of the property. I doubt you will run into her.″ Odd.
''I would like to see her once before I go back to the pack house to be with my children if they allow me to stay there with them.''
″I'm guessing Alina is still angry with you.″ I can't blame her.
''Yes, but there are other emotions she is feeling. I don't blame her one bit since mom did the same shit to me but differently. Being constantly told by dad that I was a worthless wolf with no powers or element magic, I was a challenging child to handle. I always resented father when he would look down at me when mom wasn't around to defend me. I wish back then I grew a backbone towards him.''
″I didn't know he treated you like that since I was only a baby, but I was told of the things father made you do when she wasn't around. He told her when he was dying about how he treated you when she wasn't around, and she got angry and try to curse him before he died.″
''Sounds like something mother would do, but unfortunately, she can't curse him. Anyway, I have kept a secret to myself until I saw Alina for the first time in 20 years and I think it was not the right time or situation when I told her.''
″I bet it was something life changing knowing you, but you don't have to tell me unless you want to.″
''I need help to find Alina's real father and I know you can cast a locater spell to find them.'' She shook her head at me.
″I won't be able to help you. When dad died, my magic got weaker and I can barely cast any spells or use my element magic.″ That sounds fishy.
''I have never heard of that happing to anyone. Did you go to the witch's archives in Salem?''
″You haven't heard? The werewolves' king threated the elders of that place and they had to shut it down for good. "That place is filled with warriors, and anyone who has gone there has never returned."
''I have been living underground with her mate and some orphans they forgot to kill. So, I really had no time to read newspapers or the werewolf radio station.''
"I see, well I am sure Jacob will be surprised to see you again." He is a father to two wonder girls, but they are grown now.″ Seems like he has been doing okay.
''Our blood line always had boys first though and how did father react towards that?''
″He blamed the goddess Hecate and said she cursed our family line.″ I snorted.
''He always blamed anyone but himself. How ironic. Father was only kind to the rest of you guys. Anyway, have I missed anything since I have been away?''
″Not really. Once dad died, it kind of felt like we could breathe again without his presence around. Jacob changed some things around here, but not much since it would cause too much shift in the air. I never got married or had children since I felt like I didn't need those things, plus our nieces were like my own children in a way. I was there when his wife gave birth to those sweet angels, but their mother died a few years back because of her magic, killing her slowly from the inside out.″ That sounds awful.
''Was she part of our coven?''
″No, they meet at a witch bar in the local town which father did not like how he meet his wife. He got really pissed when Jacob kept declining the woman's dad chose for him. Jacob fell in love with Lucy the first night they meet. She was a really nice person, and I am glad she loved and treated Jacob greatly.''
Internally, I laughed as I pictured father's expression. I didn't hate him; I loathe him. From the gods, I was always told I was a mistake and not a blessing. He never showed this side of him when mother or when siblings were around. After many years of trying to get his love or affection, I stopped and was always numb around him and I tried many times to leave the coven, but he never let me leave until I was old enough to fuck up my life on my own and not under their protection.
''So, is the other Lucy still around?'' She gave me her best evil side eye. Seems like she still hates her.
″She sure is and still a bitch, if you see her in that way.''
''She has always been like that, even when we were kids. I think she got upset when she turned out to be a witch instead of a wolf.''
″Someone knew she was going to be better as a witch than a wolf. Why do you need her help? You know she will need something in return for whatever you need from her.″
''She owes me a favor, so no need to worry about that. It is necessary for me to locate my daughter's father and ensure that he was not a significant figure in the werewolf or witch community. When I visited, I went to the bar outside the coven to see if Jake had any magic in him when he was 5. Father and I got into a fight over something, but I can't remember what it was about. I got mad and left jake with mom so I could cool off for a bit and I knew a drink or two would help me calm down. I was a lightweight as a wolf, and I had about 5 shots or drinks but can't recall much and I saw this hot wolf man in the corner watching me like he was thirsty for something else. After that somehow, I ended back here and left the next morning with jake.''
″How did you know Jeremy wasn't her biological father?″
''Jeremy and I weren't trying to have another one. Once I returned, we had sex, but he didn't know I used a female condom that night. Plus, she looked nothing like him and still doesn't to this day. She looks like me, but with light brown hair.''
″Does he know now?″
''He did before he died, and the blood drained from his face for a few seconds before his wolf took over and said some hurtful shit to his girlfriend or whatever she was to him, but that is another story for another day.''
″Sorry you had to go through all that alone, Claire. What happens if he is somebody important?″ I hope the fuck not.
''The hell if I know, I hope he is not someone too important. I really don't need more surprises for the rest of my life, plus I won't be dying soon. My life has made me a bitch and not to trust a man ever again after hearing what made me fled and becoming a vampire.''
″This world is cruel for us supernatural beings and I am sure it will never change for any of us. And some creatures have been in hiding for a long time because they fear the werewolf king. I would love to meet a dragon or fairy, but I can only dream about it.″
''I highly doubt we will ever see any of those creatures again unless that king dies or gets killed. The king has no children or siblings to take over the throne once he dies, but he should have died a long time ago, which makes me wonder if he has a witch who can help him stay alive for much longer than most werewolves should.''
″I would not surprise me if he had a witch on his side or he forced one to help him with threating them to a point of breaking them.″
After walking and catching up with my only sister, we have finally reached my childhood home, and I had to shut off part of my humanity so that I don't get flashbacks of my past. Am I really ready to see them after so long and will I get the help my daughter needs?
