Filed To Story: Secret with Betas Daughter: Skylar Story Series
“They took my Luna, they took her when she was pregnant with the boys. My whole world was just gone. They were hidden, and no one was able to track them and I couldn’t sense her, but I knew she wasn’t dead. We thought it might be magic, so I found a witch who was willing to help me, for a price.”
“Wait someone took you?” I couldn’t help myself. She just nods. “Did they hurt you? Hurt the twins?” I mentally smack myself. Stop interrupting and stop caring, just listen.
“No, I wasn’t hurt, but they threatened to, unless Lucas gave them what they wanted.”
“They wanted full control of my pack and I couldn’t let that happen, but I couldn’t let them hurt my Luna either. This witch, Adrielle, helped me find my family, but her price was our daughter.”
“WHAT!”
“Just listen, when we had a daughter, she had some premonition that we would, she wanted us to force a mate bond with her son. I thought I could outsmart her. We knew we were having two boys, and she didn’t want them, so I agreed, thinking we just would not have any more kids. Which tore us both up, but we had to do what was necessary to save our pack.”
“She said our daughter would be special, get her wolf and her abilities very early and have natural control and leadership over the pack. It was also predicted that once mated would gain and give additional abilities to her mate. After I found out about your wolf, and saw you
I with my boys, I started onder.”
Luna Ava cut in. “Then Reggie recognized something in you and odd things kept happening to you and around you….”
“You think getting beat within an inch of my life and left for dead, twice, was ‘odd?””
She held her hand up to stop me. “I started to wonder if it wasn’t our biological daughter, but the daughter that we would gain as Cameron and Dakota’s mate and Luna. Anyone with eyes can see you are special and have a special bond with all those boys, but I knew when Oliver came to you, that he’s your Gamma, you are the next Luna. You are what Adrielle wants, and apparently she’s not the only one.”
“I have it on good authority that Kevin and Kaley are working with her. How they met I don’t know, but you know what they have done, you and your team have been smart enough to keep up with them. Kevin wants the power, Kaley wants the boys and they have been using more and more magic to gain that. As you found, magic comes at a cost. Right now, I have kept all of the attention on me. Kevin has only placed spells and hexes on me, thinking he can. control everyone through me. You can break this cycle.”
He stares and realization hits. “NO! There is no way. After everything, you cannot ask that.”
“The magic surrounding me will break, that won’t stop what’s coming for you and the pack needs to be ready, Kevin would see the pack fall, hoping to build up from what’s left. There won’t be anything left. Just promise that you will give Cameron and Dakota a chance, swear you won’t reject them when the mate bond takes effect.”
I shake my head, tears are starting to fall. “After everything, and the stuff with Kaley, that’s a lot to ask.”
“Please. You are my only chance to do right. No one else will be able to go through with it.”
My heart is breaking and my stomach is in my feet, I’m shaking my head. “Please, Sweet Girl, I have no right to ask you anything, but I am begging you, break this spell. Please.”
He’s crying and Luna is next to me, an arm around my shoulder.
She takes my hand and places it on his chest. “You can do this, save us, please.”
I let out a wail and just cried, but I didn’t pull my hand out from under hers.
“I love you, Sweet Girl, take care of my boys.”
I close my eyes and just pray to the Moon Goddess, to take him and free him. I have no idea what I’m doing, but a warmth surges through my hands and the incessant beeping just flatlines. Luna, lets out a cry and collapses on me. The door bangs open Gamma Brett grabs her, Oliver scoops me up and the twins run to their dad.
“What happened?!”
They don’t need to ask, we all felt it. Alpha Lucas is gone. The new Alpha bond formed immediately.
“What needed to be done.”
Gamma Brett said. “You know magic was being used against us, through the Alpha. He and Ava made a decision and it’s the right one, to save us all.”
He’s holding Ava tightly to his chest while she silently cries. I can’t even call her ‘Luna’ in my mind anymore. “Skylar, how are you, honey? That was a lot for your young shoulders to bear.”
Oliver holds me, sitting on the cot, just stroking my back.
“Wait? You helped?” Dakota sounds broken. “Why would you help him do this?” He’s crying now, not trying to hold anything back.
“Because he asked me to.”
I sniffle.
“It was the only way to break the spell without also killing Ava, he chose to die willingly for her, the two of you and the pack. Kevin’s not as smart as he thinks and he didn’t curse all of us. Once the Alpha figured that out it was just finding the means for him to sacrifice himself, while also making sure you guys could survive. Killing an Alpha’s not easy, and Kaley in her jealousy gave us the opportunity.”
“What do you mean?” Cam’s still standing by his father’s head, his tears are floating in his eyes, unshed. “You can’t tell me this is a good thing.”
“Kaley can’t get rid of Sky or her effect on this pack, no matter what she does. Sky’s legacy runs deep. Kaley tried to sabotage the trials, which Kevin intended to use to weaken the warriors, to harm Skylar. It backfired and hurt Lucas enough, that even in her weakened state, Skylar was able to help him pass, painlessly, to the Moon Goddess and transfer pack control.”
