“It’s not too far from here. I’ll be around daily, though.”
Jai grins. “Nonsense! I told you, Zaia, to let him stay here.”
Mom says, unhappily.
“Mom, Dad said for safety reasons, and I know we trust Jai, but he’s not part of this pack. We have to abide by Dad’s laws.”
I say quietly.
“I’ll talk to the Alpha myself. fai, unpack your things in the room upstairs. Putting him somewhere else…. My foot.”
I stare at her in shock. She’s willing to talk to Dad? For Jai?
Well, I know she’s always been fond of Jai, but for her to actually talk to Dad…
“Please Melanie, there’s no need for that,”
Jai says, waving his hand. “I appreciate being able to at least be around you all. It’s not too far from here, and I respect that the Alpha is prioritising Zaia and the children’s safety.”
She’s about to get up, but at his words, she sighs in frustration and slumps back in her seat. “That man is far too arrogant and needs to learn he can’t boss others around.”
Mom mutters.
“I love Grandad,”
Sia whispers to me with a little happy smile.
Mom frowns. “There’s nothing to love!”
“He’s nice to me,”
Sia says. “And that’s all that matters,”
I say warmly, giving Mom a gentle poke of my eyes as a reminder.”)
If Dad was good to them, then why shouldn’t they have a relationship?
I look between Sia and Mom and realise that I should ask myself that question. Why isn’t Sebastian a part of their lives?
My heart squeezes as I fall silent as we continue to eat our dinner. “Do you think that’ll work?”
Jai asks as he stares through the open roof of the conservatory, which was now set up as a bedroom for Valerie. The moon shone directly down upon her.
It’s a while later and the kids are getting ready for bed and Jai is about to leave.
I nod. “I have high hopes. This method surely worked, or we wouldn’t have such books in our possession.”
“This is magic, or abilities long forgotten over time, Zaia. We have now become more man than wolf.”
Jai says, staring at the moon above.
I look down at the books that were treasures of this pack. Old books that Dad gave to me 10/10 without even a care. Another sign he has no interest in preserving the past.
“And I think it is there that we failed as the creation of the goddess,”
I say softly as I look at the glowing orb in the sky. It always relaxes me…
When he doesn’t reply, I glance at him to feel him watching me. Raising an eyebrow, I cross my arms, “You think I’m crazy too?”
He shakes his head. “I could never think you’re crazy, I just… what you said kinda hit. It’s true, as werewolves we don’t reallyhonour our roots. You know when I was a kid, I remember granddad telling me of their full moon runs, everyone would shift, and they would run together as a pack under the full moon.”
His words make my insides fill with the warmth of a memory of a time long passed. “There was something called The Full Moon 13/18 Hunt. They’d hunt and kill something together and then feast upon it. There usedto be an award for the one who brings the biggest offering back. He said he never got to be part of one as it was abolished before he even got his wolf, but as a child, he loved to see the youth go on these runs.”
Jai continues, sighing. “It’s crazy. I feel a sense of nostalgia, but I’ve never experienced that time, but the stories.”
“No, but I understand, as a child, hearing those stories meant something. If I was an Alpha, I’d want to bring that back to my pack. I would want us to train our young, to make sure their bodies are strong enough toshift. It’s disappointing that as the years pass, the number of those able to shift becomes less and fewer, although our packs are growing.”
“Yeah… wow, I never thought of it like that. When you put it like that… we’ll probably die out someday and forget our gifts.”
I nod. “It looks to be so.”
I say, picking up the two books I had brought down to show Jai, “
Well, I’ll show you out. There’s six of our most trusted guards stationed right around the conservatory and one of our trusted maids will stay with her.”
I reassure him.
“Thanks. It’s kinda weird to be away from her.”
He says, rubbing the back of his head as he walks over and kisses Valerie’s forehead gently. She’s all hooked up to the machine, looking at peace under the glowing moon.
Please let this work, oh goddess “I’ll talk to Father tomorrow. Maybe you can move here, especially since I’ll be on a business trip next week.”
He nods. “Thanks, but don’t argue on my behalf. Like I said, I’m grateful he even allowed me entry.”
I bid Jai goodbye before I head upstairs. After tucking the kids into bed, I go to my own bedroom. Placing the books down on the bed, I lock the door and decide to go have a shower. There are still twenty minutes. before our planned call…
I’m out pretty fast and after a long day, I’m ready to unwind. Dimming the lights and shutting the curtains, I settle onto my bed, switch the phone on and begin drying my hair with my towel.
The phone rings a few seconds after 22:30 shows on the screen and I cock a brow as I pick it up and accept the call.
“Were you in such a hurry to talk to me that you didn’t waste any time, Mr. King?”
I ask,feeling nervous for no reason as I run my other hand through my hair. “If you forget, Ms. Toussaint, I am always the one on time. You’re the one who has a reputation for tardiness.”
His arrogant reply comes.
Crossing my legs, I roll my eyes and flip open one of the books distractedly.
“Oh please, we both know you were the cause of those delays…”
I trail off, my heart thudding and not because of what I had accidentally said.
“Guilty as charged… I can hear your heartbeat from here…”
I stare down at the page before me. It’s towards the back of the book, a lot further, past the healing section…
“Zaia?”
Sebastian’s concerned voice comes.
“Zaia, is everything ok?”
“Yes… I just…”
What is this?
“Zaia? Zaia, Babe, you’re scaring me.”
I don’t know how to reply as I stare at the symbol that mirrors my birthmark, glaring back at me from the page…
A Symbol
ZAIA. “Zaia, what’s wrong? Do you want me to come down there? Because I swear if you don’t tell me, I will.”
Sebastian’s growl makes me blink. “I… it’s my birthmark.”
I say quietly, brushing back a few wet strands of my hair.
“What?”
“My birthmark. There’s the old book I’ve been going through of old practices like healing, and I just saw the symbol.
“Are you serious? I’ve looked for it all over, and never found anything.”
He asks, sounding uncertain.
“Yeah… it’s exactly the same…”
I murmur, staring at it. The very same mark that is on the side of my breast, with the upside down V and the symbol…
“What does it say?”
he asks, his voice hushed as I drag my eyes away from the symbol and scan the page. Trying to read it, whilst my head spins.
“Blood Born,”
I say, reading the title, before I look at the first line of the small text. “The Blood Born symbol graces the ones born of the Celestial Lunar… within their blood is the fire to quench the earth and moon of all life. Beings or monsters, we know not, but fear them, we do.
