Book II: Two different worlds

Chapter 23: The aftermath

Gwen's POV

It's unreal to see this. I mean our moms are there, on screen, together, announcing peace together. I was so proud of them, I was so proud to call them my parents.

I mean, the nice words wolf mom and mom are saying... Incredible.

We were in class, but as soon as the announcement began, our teacher showed it to us. He felt like it was important to show us this, especially since the moment mom entered the scene.

It was quite funny to see my classmates shocked, surprised at this. But what was even better was that most of them nodded, they agreed with what mom was saying.

It is true, the things she's been saying. It's going to be hard for witches to forgive wolves and not fight them, but in order to grow, we have to start to respect them again. And since that our witch leader is setting an example, it won't be that hard to follow it.

But ever since she mentioned Luna's name.. I noticed some people chattering, wondering how the precious heirs looked. It was so tempting to just tell people, to show them my real self, my family.

But at the same time, I knew the dangers. And seeing as mom didn't went further by telling our names to the world or showing pictures of us, I'm pretty sure she knew them too. She knew that it was saver to keep us a secret, to keep us hidden, for now at least.

Soon classes ended and school stopped, right after the announcement. The principal had given everyone permission to go home, to their family.

Many families had been torn apart by this war, and it was finally time for them to reunite. I mean, I knew some people that had the same situation as I have: a wolf and witch parent. And now... Now they'd reunite.

Just thinking about that made me kinda emotional. "Hey," An arm wrapped around me, I knew it was Robyn by just the feeling I got from it. "You should be proud of them."

I nodded. "I am, it's just... It's so beautiful."

She smiled and led me away, to the exit of school. "Do you want me to bring you home?"

I shook my head no. "I need to find Luna first."

"Ok, we'll wait."

Luna's POV

Wow... I admired wolf mom, the courage she had to tell the world... She's my hero, and she's my mom. I'm so honored to follow into her steps. And the way she protected mom... It was beautiful.

I had to admit, seeing as how everyone in class could see the announcement... It was special to me. I mean, sure they don't know that those were my moms, but that didn't matter to me. I don't want to brag either, I just feel really happy, really proud.

Seeing Dawn, Anson and Colton in shock was pretty funny. I mean, Dawn knew about some of it. I told her everything that had happened with wolf mom and all. But she must think it's weird finally seeing them together.

As for Anson and Colton, I don't know if uncle Boaz has told them about mom and wolf mom getting closer. But by the looks of it, he didn't.

When mom mentioned me, I felt special. I mean she could've said Gwen and me, but she only said me. And what she said was so amazing, so sweet. She respected me as a wolf, and that meant the world to me. I kinda felt like I helped mom and wolf mom back together.

When the announcement was done, the principal told us to go home, to our family. He didn't have to tell me that twice. I mean, I'm ready for that.

We got up and started walking to the exit. "Wow..." Was all Dawn could say.

"Yea, I know." I smiled big.

"Hey Luna," I looked behind me and saw Anson and Colton hurrying to me. "Why haven't you told us? About this."

I smiled big, I couldn't help it. "I thought uncle Boaz would."

They both shook their heads no.

"Well I'm sorry, I didn't know he didn't."

"Let's get outside." Dawn said, taking my hand and leading me outside. There we saw Gwen and Robyn. 

"Gwen!" I hurried to her.

"Luna!" She hugged me tight. "Have you seen it too?"

I nodded. "We have the best moms."

Gwen nodded. "Absolutely."

I looked at Dawn, Robyn, Anson and Colton. "We'll see you later."

"I'm coming with you." Dawn said, holding my hand. "It'd be an honor to, at least."

I smiled and nodded. "I'd love for you to meet my moms."

Gwen smiled and I saw Robyn hug her from behind. 

"Let me guess, she's coming too?"

Gwen nodded. "Of course."

"Hey, can we come too?" Anson asked.

"Don't you have to go home?" Gwen asked, having a good point.

"Yeah, but dad asked us to meet up at the witches castle." Colton said, shrugging, he really was confused.

Suddenly Gwen's phone rang. "Oh it's mom." She answered. "Hey mom. Yeah, we're all here. Yeah. Ok, I will. Yeah, bye." She hung up and looked at us. "We have to go to the witch castle, all of us."

"Let's go then." Robyn said, getting in her car. Gwen sat next to her. Dawn and me sat at the back seat while Anson and Colton tried squeezing in there too. Eventually it worked but it wasn't that comfortable.

We drove to the witch castle. On out way there we saw so many cars, I think everyone's trying to get to their loved ones. This really is a historic day.

Soon we arrived at the gates of the castle. But a soldier stopped us. He walked to Robyn's window and looked inside. "Yes?"

"We're invited by the witch leader." Gwen said.

"Mhm, and I'm supposed to believe that." He said. It's now that I remember that he doesn't know who we are...

Gwen chuckled before showing her ID. "Let us in or my mom won't be happy."

The soldier nodded. "Of course, I'm sorry, Miss." He opened the gate.

"Was it necessary to scare him like that?" Dawn asked.

"Of course it was, he was being an idiot." Robyn said, taking Gwen's hand in hers. "I like that side of you."

Gwen looked at her, smiling. "Good."

We parked the car at the front of the castle and got out. I'm so ready for this!
