Chapter 13

Adonis POV

She left... I couldn't see her sad, I lost control just like every time. But as soon as I touched her cheeks, she stared at me with wide eyes just like someone threw cold water at her. I knew what was going on in that pretty little head of hers,  but before anything, I need to know what's the deal with her and the blood moons anyway. Oh, my sweet angel, I love the way your body reacts around mine it's inevitable... it's been 10 years.. so easy for you to forget and move on...but I know that's not it, there's more to the story than I know. It's like she doesn't remember me at all, more like someone manipulated her memories. Only one person can answer all my questions.

" my boy... how are you.?" I heard my mom's sweet voice as the door just opened and she came in, following her came my dad.

She engulfed me into a warm hug and pulled back and looked at me from head to toe "you look tired, isn't queen looking after you properly" I cringed at the name of that b*tch and my dad chuckled from behind settling himself on the sofa.

" mom I told you not to set me up with anyone or more like one particular person 'queen', or whatever" I said irritated.

"You are not waiting for your mate or anything right, son. You won't probably..." I cut her off with my glare even though I love my mom, she somehow fears that I won't be able to find my mate because it's already 5 years since I shifted. Being the Alpha I should have been able to find her early even if I hadn't shifted only if they knew... A pack without their Luna will have so many shortcomings just like Alpha, a Luna is needed for the packs as she is considered the mother of the pack.

" Why did you ask for our presence son" my dad spoke for the first time now, he was observing me quietly. I looked at him, his pale white skin and blue eyes, he haven't aged much. I was much like my dad in appearance same height, the same build just the difference in my eyes, as I have my mom's grey eyes. My complexion is a mixture of theirs.

" it's nice to be once outside our castle Richard... I love travelling around but your dad, he's too lazy" my mom chirped in.

I chuckled at her they were quite opposite. " mom take a seat, I want to discuss something " I said while setting aside all the playfulness. She understood how serious I was and went to take a seat next to dad. " what's it son," mom asked looking worried.

" angel is here," I said, she looked shocked, as dad was nonchalant and calculating.

" what about others? Elizabeth? John?" She asked suddenly panicking. " calm down Love. Let him speak first." My dad said holding her hands.

" they were attacked. till now we have no information about others, but we have sent two of our men as spies to blood moons to know about the rest. Ron is dead, he was killed back at their pack ground when they attacked." I informed them.

" oh, my moon goddess, her heirs and her keepers. Fill his soul with Arythm and raise his soul to the Alysm tree." My mom prayed while crying. My dad was holding her shoulders and rubbing her arms up and down trying to console her.

" Does she know, Nis?" My mom asked sobbing.

" no, I couldn't bring myself to tell her that her brother is no more. She already has too much on her plate " I told her

" and Neil and her parents are still missing, she would think worst. I can't tell her without knowing about them first."

" yes, that's good." My dad spoke.

" you knew they were attacked, isn't dad?" I said trying to contain my anger.

He didn't speak for some time and just looked at me. " I won't deny it" he replied. " it's due time they found her. It's the inevitable son. They won't stop until they have her" he said getting up and walking towards the window.

" Why did you send them away?" I asked him.

Mom looked at me wiping her tears " what do you mean by sending her away, Nis? " she asked me and I kept glaring at dad.

He suddenly turned around and looked at me " I didn't send them away, they wanted to leave, at that time it was the best for her safety. The blood moons knew she was here. I just helped them escape to a safe place." He then looked at my mom, she was hurt that he didn't find it important to tell her, he hid this from her. " Erina, they can manipulate you, you know them.. with a strand of your hair they could easily find her. It would have been dangerous." my dad explained.

" All these years, Richard all these years I kept wondering what happened to them, where they were, were they even alive. I couldn't even say goodbye to her. She was my sister for god sake, Richard. I thought she left without telling me. All while my husband knew where they were. We could have kept them in our castle, we could have protected them. Now we don't even know what happened to them." Mom said sobbing.

" it's easy said than done, you know what would have happened if they had her. How they knew she was here is still a mystery unless we had a traitor or they sought help from the forgotten, only lord knows. And I couldn't put your life at risk too" dad spoke after a while.

" but still Richard -"

" enough!! We have got bigger issues than this mom" I cut her off. " she's still not safe here, they are sniffing around the territory. We have spotted too many of them. We have no time to waste, I need to know why they are after her"

" for that son, only one person can help... we just know that she was born with a half crescent moon on her forehead that too on a blood-moon day," dad said, " she is both a blessing and curse to your kind nis, you will have to choose when the time comes."

I slowly let his words sink both a blessing and a curse " what do you mean? I don't understand"

" has I said only one person can explain the history and mystery" he spoke while exchanging a glance at my mom, whose all red due to crying.

my mom was sniffing and got up, walking towards the door " I want to see her, where is she?" She asked.

I took the phone and typed " come to my office" I hung the call. There was a small knock at my door.

" come in" I said. Soon a small petite woman entered my office while she bowed down " yes Alpha, you asked for my presence"

" Laila, take my mom to angels room," I said and dismissed them.

" Why doesn't she remember me?" I asked my dad who was still observing me. His lips turned slightly upwards as if expecting me to ask this question.

" well, we had to manipulate her memory to stop her from coming back to you. You were young it could have gotten both of you killed." My dad replied.

I sighed and asked " now what dad, what I'm I supposed to do?

"You need to take angel and leave as soon as possible to the west. As I said Only one person can help you" he spoke while getting up from his seat and walking towards the door.

" who..?" I wondered.

he turned around and looked directly into my eyes.. " well..."
