"Is she okay?" Cory questioned, quickly rising from the chair. Evidence of stress are vividly apparent from the mass array his curly hair turned into. His, now clenched hands, had run through it one too many times.

I am not quite sure how long I was in the room with Riley just trying to calm her down. Not that I cared. Even if she was stunned into silence, or heaving sobs it didn't matter. I loved spending quality time with my female. After my last revelation, she just kind of sat there. I had overloaded her, obviously if the blank look and pounding heart were any sort of indication.

After a few minutes she just rested her head on my shoulder, kissed the skin on my neck and fell asleep. It took a solid ten minutes before I could get her off of me, even in her sleep the mate bond was calling out to her. "Um, a lot better than I thought." I wasn't sure what I was expecting. Relieved sighs? Shoulders dropping? But, I didn't get any of that. In fact, their faces contorted into pain. They didn't want to lie to Riley, and no matter how unfair it is to my mate, they did what they were told to by the Moon Goddess. "I made it clear that you love her. You are both her parents."

A tear fell out of Topanga's eye before she buried her face into her husband's chest. "Where –

"She's sleeping," I finish for Maya who is slowly sitting back down in her seat. "It is a lot for someone to take in. Even someone who knew of the supernatural world beforehand." My wolf and I grinned, once again thankful that we told her what we were as soon as possible. I kept that notion to myself, "she'll be okay. Riley is very understanding."

"It will help once we know why the Moon Goddess' and Sun God created Riley. You know, how she's going to help with the prophecy."

Before I have a chance to answer, there was a knock on my mate's door. Sniffing twice, I open the door to my Beta. Josh gives me a sympathetic smile knowing the conversation we had tonight was not an easy one. "Hey Lucas, she good?" He asks quietly, keeping the conversation to us for now.

"As good as she can be, considering." I shrug, bouncing my head from left to right. "It definitely could have been worse." But, my female wasn't into dramatics. She was level headed and took what she could until her mind couldn't physically process it anymore. Gabriel grinned madly, he was proud of our female. "Now, you can quit pretending you're actually here to check on my mate and me." I opened the door wider, allowing him to step inside and see the witch that's currently rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Hello, little mate." Josh quips and basically skips towards the blonde. "And Lucas, she's my future Luna. Of course I would worry about her."

Kiss ass.

Shrugging the draped arm off of her shoulder, Maya steps forward, shoving her hands into the pockets of her jeans nervously. "I'll try to get in contact with the Goddess as well. But, you know as well as I she is –

"Cryptic?" I finish for her once it seemed she was at a loss for words. Maya nods, guilt and sadness coming off of her in waves. "I get it, and this situation may just need to play out on its own. I already have the elders doing some digging. Looking into past prophecies, human Luna's and things like that." Falling into the cushion of the couch, I bite my lip to keep from laughing whenever I see Josh basically pulling Maya into his lap.
