Unknown pov:
Willow isn't my real name it's a chosen name I gave myself the pack calls me mother stone but I am rhea stone I am a survivor of my ex husband my daughters father I can see Athena with logan.
Oh my, how have you grown to be such a beautiful young, smart, and caring woman it saddens me that I had to see you live such a difficult life with him I've seen the cuts and bruises and yet you bare the markings of someone who has survived sweet little Athena seeing you smile and laugh with King it's such a joy i always knew that you would be a fighter one day I will venture in to the light away from the shadows but for now I'll watch grow and thrive until it's time to meet.
It was never my intention to leave you with him not knowing what his true nature was I really thought it would stop with you but he took his pain and anguish out on you oh how I am sorry child I prayed to the moon goddess everyday that you would find the strength to leave I'm forever thankful for that fateful day you were saved.
I remember how he treated me it was morning noon and night constant beatings I'd leave you with the neighbour to make sure you were safe but in the end it became too much and I left I promised myself I would come back for you but I never did I will blame myself until my dying day who knows if we meet I'll tell you everything please take heart in knowing that Cyrus is protecting you for a reason and those reasons will come to light.
Yes I am Athena's mother aka mother stone and yes I left my youngest child in the hands of a monster knowing I can't talk to my daughter breaks my heart my wolf lyla has been watching her every step of the way arthur was never like this in the beginning he was a sweet heart a real romantic type of guy when we met I was an unmarked she wolf with a child he took us in and wishing three months I was marked and mated to him then we had Athena her brother her have a twelve year age gap yes Cyrus is her brother he does not as I had a witch cast a memory spell where he has no recollection of having a Sibling until that child becomes of age I did what had to do as a mother you do what you need to protect your children but I failed one my sweet Athena I had to watch her suffer at his hand knowing I may have had a hand in having her taken I might feel guilty but I don't I'm glad I did it she's happy so therefore so am I.
I have every intention to make it up to her a part of me was torn away from me that day I took my son and myself away I suffered greatly I became withdrawn and angry until my child suggested that I change who I am with that I became the pack healer make no mistake I fully intend on telling my children everything including the alpha I hope he treats her well I live with ache and regret in my heart I never re married I fear that if I did history would repeat itself I could never go through it again for a few years I let lyla take over but it feels nice being back in human form.
