Chapter 13 5
Stephanie’s POV
We finished out the ceremony smoothly, despite the appearance of the Witches
Council representative, Warlock Augustus Moon guard. He was an old friend of my
mothers, to have him come here, and voice the Council’s acceptance of me
adopting Alora, and my kinship with her Pack, meant something. There had to be
a reason he had shown up like this.
My thoughts were spinning around and around in my head, questions forming one
after another with no answers appearing. After all the guests said their farewells,
the only beings to remain were, my mate, all my children, that included Alora now,

and their mates. The Alpha and Luna with their youngest son and his mate.
Bulma and her mates, Damien’s Beta and Gam ma and Alora’s Beta and
“It’s been awhile since I’ve last seen you Stephanie.” he said, his voice tranquil,
giving away nothing.
“Why are you here Augustus?” I asked him, making an effort to keep my emotions
from my voice.
“I have news about your mother.” he tells me.
I’m shocked, I can’t answer for a moment, I have so many mixed emotions when
it came to my mother. “What news?” I demanded.
“It’s also about your father.” He says, this time his tone is hard.
mother was a Council Witch and he a Warlock of the Witches Council. I had never
liked my father either, neither had my sister. To say we didn’t have great
memories of that Warlock….was an understatement. 2
Alora suddenly put her hand in mine, my mate wrapped an arm around my
shoulders, and my children surrounded me. They were protecting me…and giving
me support. I felt tears sting my eyes at the
tions now filling me. I felt their love, and it helped me stay strong, I kept my head
held high, my shoulders back, and my spine straight…because I’m a Queen, I’m a
wife, and I’m a mother.
Alora’s POV
When the Council Warlock had mentioned mom’s mother, I was worried, I could
sense her upset, but when he mentioned her father, I sensed another emotion
from her, she seemed to go still and a storm started to gather in her eyes. I
grabbed her hand, and Dad put an arm around her while my siblings were
surrounding us.
I immediately felt her determination to weather this new event with pride and
grace. I admired my new mom so much, she was a really strong woman, an
elegant and beautiful lady, and I was glad I was now her daughter.
“Is there a place here we can comfortably discuss the information I have for you?”
the Council Warlock asked my mother. Q
My mother looked at me, asking the question with her eyes, I nod at her and we
both face the Warlock. “I have a place.” I tell him, then letting go of mom’s hand I
step out in front of everyone, “Follow me.” I say and head to the doorway leading
into the Willow Tree Library. 2
All of my family had been inside the Willow tree in the last week, as had Bulma
and her mates. The
ibrary could only be accessed by Damien and I, so I wasn’t worried about inviting
the Warlock inside. When he stepped inside he did what everyone else had done,
including me, and looked around with a stunned and amazed expression on his
face, turning in a full circle trying to take everything in.
The Willow Tree Library was in tune with Damien and I and provided accordingly.
The chairs and couches were rearranged in a circle, surrounding the Trees magic
circle in the center. Mates took over the couches, my brothers and the Warlock
sat in the chairs. My mom and dad were seated on a couch that was conveniently
located across from the Warlocks chair.
Ka ss and Kian were sitting on a couch to mom’s left, Damien and I were sitting on
a couch to my dad’s right. We all looked at the Warlock, waiting for him to begin,
but he doesn’t say anything at first, just looks around at all of us curiously. Finally
his gaze settles on my mom, he seemed to contemplate what he was about to
say before he spoke. O
“Are you sure you want everyone here present for this conversation?” he askes
her in a gentle tone.
Mom nods her head “Yes, go on Augustus, you can talk openly here with
everyone that is present.” she tells him, her voice was soft.
The Warlock takes a deep breath then lets it out in a gush of air that could almost
be called a frustrated sigh. “Where to begin..?” he mutters the question.
“Try the beginning.” Bella drawled, getting a few quiet but amused chuckles.

The Warlock gives her a narrow eyed look for a moment, then he just nods and
turns his attention back onto my mom. “To start at the beginning is to say…I never
liked the man your mother was married off to at your grandfathers insistence…
after she was rejected by her fated mate.” Augustus said to my mom in a solemn
tone.
Everyone was stunned into silence for a moment, even my mother “I didn’t know
mother had been rejected.” Mom finally said, her voice had a husky quality to it.
Augustus sighed sadly and nodded his head “The one who rejected your
mother….was a Vampire Witch Hybrid.” there were several gasps at that
information.
“Mother had said back then, that my mate would reject me….and when she found
out I was pregnant with Ka ss…..s he called her an abomination.” mom said to
Augustus quietly.
“Yes….she told me all about it….and has agonized over everything she did….to
you, your sister, your mate, and most especially….what she said about her
granddaughter and grandsons.” He tells her, his
voice sad.
Mom had a frown on her face now, her brow furrowed, my father was still, almost
like stone, keeping what he was feeling from showing. I look at my sister and I
could see she was feeling complicated emotions with her continuously changing
expressions.
“What are you saying to me Augustus?” mom asked him.
“From the moment your mother was born, a plan was formed….your
mother….and her fated mate….fell victim to the plans of the Black Magic Coven.”
He said in a serious tone, there was anger there, just barely heard, but it was
there.
“What?” was all my mom was able to ask in a faint voice.
We were all more than a little stunned now, all of us in various stages of shock
over his words, looking at each other, our looks turning from shock to confusion,
then, intense curiosity.
“You mother’s fated mate….had never wanted to reject your mother….he had
been told that if he didn’t reject her, with the excuse they gave him….they would
kill your mother.” he said, his voice had grown a little hoa rse with this explanation.
“You grandfather, not being a Goldlight was targeted through hypnosis after being
drugged, that was why he convinced your mother to marry the Warlock of their
choosing….your father….was really a Black Magic Coven Warlock.” His anger
appearing more in his tone with his last words.
“Wait….I was told the reason my mother was married to that Warlock was
because he was a respected Council Warlock.” she said.
Augustus shakes his head “The only claim to the Council your father had was
through your mother, and because he was not her fated mate, the rest of the
Council didn’t acknowledge his claim to that position, not until after you were
born.” Augustus told her.
“My father hated that both me and my sisters were female, he constantly
disparaged us for being born female, he would tell us we would never amount to
anything, that we were worthless to him.” She tells Augustus.
The look on his face was equal parts fury and horror. “The Goldlight’s Council
seat has always been held by a daughter of the Goldlight’s, son’s were rarely
born in your line, you have produced more son’s than any of your ancestors ever
did.” he tells her. O
“He would never say those things in front of my mother, the one time she had
walked in on him saying those things to me and my sister, she flew into a rage.
She made us leave his office, and all we could hear was a lot of screaming and
yelling after that.” She paused a moment, then said. ” He died not long after that.”
“The heart attack that killed him, was because he never recovered from the blast
of magic your mother hit him with in her anger over his words to you and your
sister….it was actually very good that he died, or the Black magic Coven’s plans
for you and your sister would have been carried out.” he said.
“Plans?….What plans?” my mother asked Augustus, she looked confused and
upset, my father
wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close into his side, his stony mask
falling, his emotions for his mate now plain to see on his face. .
