Another end

(Him)

Breakfast was odd. None of us spoke, too lost in our own thoughts. The pack noticed we were acting weird but nobody dared to say something.

Since the Moon Goddess's visit, my wolf got silence again... But I think he is more lost on his own thoughts too than he doesn't want to speak with me. We didn't fight when I rejected Anna-Lynn. He agreed with me, which is rare. Now he is questioning the fact he didn't fight at all for her. He is feeling as guilty as I feel.

"Why are you looking at me like that John? Did I do something?" Terrence, Connor and Collin's father, asks.

"You knew what I was singing and you said nothing!"John replies.

"What are you talking about?" Terrence asks having no idea about what John is speaking.

"Leave us." I order to the few people left in the dining room.

"Anna-Lynn, when she made me sign my renunciation of my father's rights. You knew it and you did say anything. Why?" John asks again.

Terrence sighs:"It was written in big, you could have just read it but you just wanted for her to leave your office as quickly as possible. I didn't say nothing because I thought it was for the best. For you all, for the pack and for her too. She had the right to have a new start. She never did anything wrong and she had the right to live a life where she was not the Beta's daughter without a wolf. I'm surprised she told you that."

"She didn't. The moon goddess came to visit me, us" John says.

"Oh! They was something important then for to come." Terrence says.

"It was and it was about Anna-Lynn." Dad says.

"Let's talk about that in a more private place." I say.

We are in my office with my parents, Aiden and his parents, Terrence and Connor. The Moon Goddess visited, me, Aiden and our parents. We shared all what she told us.

"I can't believe she is a Lycan!" Connor says incredulous.

"I can't believed we were so blind." Aiden says.

"It was not your fault. You were just kids and you just followed what we, adults and your parents, were doing." Tessa says.

"Do you she is as powerful and deadly as the myths describe?" John asks.

"She is!" Dad says.

"You saw her in action, didn't you?" I ask him and he nods.

"How does she look in her lycan's form?" Aiden asks.

"Deadly and her aura! So powerful! She killed more than 30 rogues in few minutes. They didn't stand any chance." Dad says.

"Markus neither in this case." Mom says looking relieved.

"No, not even a tiny one. Hybrid or not." Dad says.

"She's going to reveal herself today. What are going to do?" Mom asks me.

I sigh: "The only thing I still can do: kneel and accept her as my Queen. She deserves my unconditional support."

"My little sister is our Queen, this is so surrealist. Well I don't deserve to call her that." Aiden says.

"What about Anton? Are you ready to accept him as your King when it was supposed to be you." Mom asks me again.

"He is here because of me and the way I treated my mate. He deserves this title more than I will never. Even if it's killing me now to say that. He is my king." I reply wincing. It's so hard to accept it, to accept all of this actually.
