    10 Unexpected Visit


    Cayden POV


    I open my eyes and I’m in a room like I’ve never seen before. The walls are clean and white. The bed


    I’m lying on feels amazing. I sit up and notice that all the pain I had earlier is gone. I must be dead and


    honestly it’s a relief. I pray that ra found a safe ce and will be happy. I don’t even know how I


    helped ra escape. It was like it wasn’t even me that helped ra. The door opens to the room and I


    stand expecting to see the goddess. I’m confused when a man I’ve never seen walks in. For the first


    time in a long time, I feel my wolf. “Cayden, don’t be afraid. Everything will be clear soon” Riggs says.


    Before I can respond to him, the man speaks. “Cayden, it is so good to see you.” “I don’t mean to


    sound rude but who are you?” “It will be easier to show you than to tell you.” He sticks out his hand and


    I take it. Images begin to sh through my mind.


    Vision


    The man in front of me and a beautiful woman are sitting at a table. A few minutester, he goes over


    and helps her to stand. Her belly is very swollen and he ces his hand over it. “I can’t wait to meet our


    pups, love. It’s hard to believe it will be happening in just two months.” He kisses her before they head


    for the door. The image fades and a new one reces it. The same man is sitting in an office with an


    older man that has his features. “This is not right Theo. She is not a witch. You are polluting the


    magical bloodline by mating with a mutt” the older man says. “Uncle, do you believe that you know


    better than the goddess herself? I would suggest you never speak of Evelyn that way again.” “Don’t


    challenge my authority, Theodore. I am the leader of this coven and you will follow my orders without


    question.” “She is carrying my children and she is mine. I will dly leave the coven for her. You can


    find someone else to follow your orders.” The anger on the older man’s face is unmistakable. He


    stands “the only way you will leave this coven, Theodore, is to meet the goddess, so make your


    choice.” The younger man attempts to stand to defend himself but the older man shoots something


    from his hand. The image fades again but I’m sure he didn’t survive.


    The new image is of the same woman sitting at a table with a man that is definitely an Alpha. I see pain


    on her face and then they appear in the hospital. She is inbor and her screams fill the room. A few


    momentster, the pups are rushed from the room. Instead of screams of pain, the woman is


    screaming for her pups. The Alpha appears and two familiar people are with him. That ba**ard Franklin


    is standing with the witch, Lydia. The Alpha hands them the pups and they disappear. The next image


    is of the woman and Alpha as she sobs uncontrobly. “I’m so sorry love, the pups didn’t make it.”


    “How could this happen?” “I love you Evelyn and we will have other pups together.” Her sobs get louder


    and the image fades away.


    Vision End


    I pull my hand back. “What does this all mean? Is that my mother?” He smiles “yes that beautiful


    woman is you and ra’s mother.” Realization of who this man is to me finally sinks in. “You’re our


    father. So I am dead.” He smiles “no my son. You are very much alive. The goddess has granted me


    this moment to meet you and give you the information you will need to make things right.” “Have you


    visited ra?” I see sadness cross his features. “Did something happen to ra? Please tell me that


    all I did was not in vain.” “What you did was amazing. Your sister is alive and, despite what the future


    may hold, she is happy.” “What does that mean? Is something going to happen ra?” “Cayden, the


    only thing that I can tell you is that whatever happens was meant to be and you will need to be there for


    the gift she brings that is born of that happiness.” “You’re saying a lot but making no sense.” He steps


    forward and wraps me in his arms. “I love you and I’m proud of the man that you have be.” I feel


    the tears running down my cheeks. I never thought I would have a moment with this man.


    He whispers my mother’s name before he begins to chant. My body is engulfed in warmth and my eyes


    close on their own. I feel like I’m floating for a moment before everything stills. I manage to force my


    eyes open again and I’m in a dirty room. It’s not the cell, but it’s nothing like the room I was just in. I


    hear the key turn in the lock and the door opens. “How do you feel boy,” the witch says. I don’t answer


    her. “You could act a little grateful. I’m the only reason you’re still alive.” “Let me out to kill that b**ch”


    Riggs growls. This is the strongest we have felt in a very long time. “We will, we just need to pick our


    time. After what father said, I need to get to ra.”

    Eli POV


    As we stand with my parents, ra seems anxious. I’m sure being around all these people isn’t easy


    for her, but this seems different. She seems distracted and both Ss and I are concerned. “We want to


    thank you all foring to the Nightfire pack for this celebration. I’m sure you’re all wondering what we


    invited you here to celebrate.” Everyoneughs and nods at my father. “We decided to have this ball to


    announce that our son Eli has found his mate.” He holds out his hand to ra and I lead her to him. I


    stand on the other side of her. “This is the future Luna of the Nightfire pack, ra.” Apuse fills the


    room and I squeeze her hand. She smiles but I can see she is nervous. I lean in “I’m here with you.


    You are doing amazing.” She kisses my cheek and we look back at the crowd. “We want you all to


    enjoy tonight and we will be sending invitations when it is time to appoint the new Alpha and Luna of


    the pack.” Again the crowd breaks into apuse. Everyone starts to talk and dance again. I take


    ra’s hand, leading her out into the hallway.


    I pull her into my arms. “What’s wrong ra?” She acts like she has no idea what I’m talking about.


    “Just because we aren’t bonded doesn’t mean I don’t know when something is wrong.” “That woman


    that was with your mom, who is she?” “That is Luna Evelyn of the Red Moon Pack. Why do you ask?” “I


    don’t know exactly but Cora and I feel anxious around her.” “She has always been very kind when I


    have been around her. Do you want me to ask her and Alpha Grant to leave?” “Of course not, she has


    done nothing wrong. I’m sure she is a lovely woman.” She smiles and I lean down kissing her lips


    softly. I pull back and take her hand, leading her back into the ballroom. I lead her to the dance floor


    and hold her in my arms. It’s amazing to share this moment with her.


    The ballsts for a few hours and I love the smile that ra wears for most of the evening. She dances


    with Larisa and Rose while I sit with Micah and Mason just watching her. I look at the table where


    Evelyn and Grant are sitting. Evelyn doesn’t take her eyes off of ra while she dances. What could


    ra and Cora possibly be feeling about her? As the ball winds down, the Alpha and Lunas start to


    come to say goodnight to all of us. We stand with my parents by the door as everyone leaves the


    ballroom. Evelyn and Grant are thest ones to approach us. He has his arm looped in hers. She


    comes to stand in front of me first. “It was good to see you again Eli. Congrattions on finding your


    beautiful Luna.” “Thank you Evelyn.” She moves till she is standing in front of ra. “It was a pleasure


    to meet you ra. I hope we can spend time getting to know each other in the future.” She reaches her


    hand and ra takes it. I see Evelyn’s eyes sh ck but it is gone as quickly as it came. Grant


    ushers toward my parents as he shakes my hand. “Congrattions to the two of you” he says as he


    walks past ra.


    Evelyn POV


    Grant leads me to the car and helps me inside. He starts the drive back to the Red Moon and the


    silence that fills the car is ufortable for the first time since we mated all those years ago. We’re


    halfway home when Grant finally breaks the silence. “Evelyn, are you alright?” I turn “I’m fine Grant.”


    He takes my hand in his and squeezes it. Everything in me right now wants to pull away, but he doesn’t


    deserve that. He didn’t do anything wrong and I have no right to be upset with him. Once we reach the


    pack I head inside and right upstairs to our wing. He follows me and once we reach our room he pulls


    me to him. “Evelyn, you are worrying me. I hate when you are upset and I know you are not fine.” “I’m


    sorry, I don’t know why I feel drawn to that girl but you did nothing wrong.” I lean up and press my lips


    to his. He tries to deepen the kiss but there is no way I can do that the way I feel. I pull away and head


    over to grab my pajamas. “I think I’ll feel better after a shower.” He nods and I head into the bathroom.


    Once I am in the shower I let my mind wander to the day I lost my pups.


    Grant POV


    This cannot be f**king happening. Once I know she is in the shower, I grab my phone out of my jacket.


    He picks up on the second ring. I don’t even give him a chance to answer. “Do you know who I f**king


    met tonight?” “Hello to you, too, Grant.” “Franklin, I’m ready toe to that f**king collective and snap


    your neck with my bare hands.” “What are you going on about?” “The pup you should have taken care


    of years ago met my Luna tonight.” There is silence for a minute before he asks for an exnation. I


    tell him about the ball and meeting the new Luna of the Nightfire pack. “How the hell could she be


    mated to an Alpha?” “She isn’t really a rogue you a**hole. You and that f**king witch had better figure


    out how to fix this before my Luna finds out who she really is or you will both be sorry.” I cut the call and


    the bathroom door opens. Evelynes out with a look of concern on her face. “Who were you talking


    to, Grant?”
