Chapter 12


    Are You Ready?


    Xavier’s POV


    “They are on their way now.” I informed the room. Ren had mind linked me that he had found


    Saphira, and they were thankfully heading our way. “Father, please notify the Elders that I believe


    Saphira is not only a Moon CHild but THE Moon Child that went missing all those years ago.”


    “”WHAT! How can you be so confident?” Ren then ryed his conversation with Saphira, and I


    agreed. Now to address the elders. and inform them of the news. “Ladies and Gentlemen, we have


    made a discovery. We now not only believe that My son’s Mate is a Moon Child but the very one


    that went missing on her 6th birthday 12 years ago.” The room became deathly silent. “How can you


    be sure?” One of the Elders asked? “The time frame matches. Her age matches. The story of how


    her father died in a car wreck while taking her to a surprise on top of a Mountain fits.” The elders


    sitting around the table all shook their heads in agreement. “Regardless if it turns out she is not a


    Moon Child, let us all remember she never imed to be one and will face no repercussions if she


    isn’t. She had no idea what a Moon Child was before yesterday, and truly other than hearing the


    actual word, I am notpletely convinced she knows what one is still.”


    All of the Elders nodded in agreeing. “May I suggest that Elora be the one to carry out the test?


    Saphira, I believe, will be more at ease with a female rather than a male.” “I would be happy to,”


    Elora said. I shall go and prepare myself. Let us perform this Outside rather than in this building. It


    holds too much negativity for her. With that, she stood and exited the room.


    Saphira’s POV.


    We hadn’t walked far when he looked down at me. I must have had a

    troubled look on my face because he asked, “What are you thinking about so intensely, my Luna?”


    His question brought me out of my deep thoughts.” Hmm, o umm, what is going to happen when we


    get back to- the office? How will the Elders know if I am a Moon Child?” Ren stopped and smiled


    down at me. “First, they will want to see the markings on your back. If they all agree to move


    forward, then the next step is to test your blood.” “WHAT” I half squeaked, half yelled. “Easy


    sweetheart, it isn’t as bad as it sounds. I promise they only need a few drops of your blood from a


    small finger p r i c k no more. I promise it will be almost entirely painless. I wish we could wait, but


    being that the full moon is only days away, we must know now. There will be much to prepare for in


    a very short time if so.”


    “I am sorry,” I whispered; he looked down at me. “Whatever for baby?” “I am sorry I am so much


    trouble.” He threw his head back andughed. “You do not worry about that; you are not the one


    that has caused this mess. The ones responsible for The wreck all those many years ago and the


    ones that kept you a prisoner here are the ones responsible, not you.” “What happens to me if I am


    not a Moon Child? Won’t I get in trouble? The Elders have traveled from far away won’t they be


    angry that I have wasted their time?” “First, if you are not, Which I am positive you are, you never


    imed to be one. We called them, not you, and they have been made aware of this, my father


    made. sure to tell them. Second, even if you are not, you are still my Mate and Luna to my pack and


    Elders or not. I will protect you no matter what. Now brace yourself, we are about to enter the


    training field beside the office. We turned it into a temporary holding area for the pack members that


    surrendered or survived the attack.


    “I quickly turned my head in the direction of the field and gasped at the sight. There were hundreds


    of Men and Women and children in varying areas of the field. “What will happen to them?”


    “Everyone will have an audience with Me, My Beta, or My Father. They will be given the choice of


    joining one of the Packs that are Allies with us and present here, Leaving to make their own way, Or


    staying here under

    the New Alphas Rule.” “New Alpha? But I thought my Uncle was still alive? There can’t be a new


    Alpha yet, can there?” “You are correct; however, this pack was never a proper pack. He imed


    himself as the Alpha of a band of Rogues and Outcast from other packs. They swore allegiance to


    him in turn, bing what we call a Rogue Pack. He came here and took over this pack when the


    Alpha died, and he imed to be his long-lost son. We now know he used the witch’s magic toThis text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    make them believe what he said was true.” “There are a lot of people here that didn’t want to be.


    They chose to swear allegiance to my Uncle over death to protect their mates and children.” “I know


    my Luna, and many of the warriors surrendered when the battle started and asked for protection.


    Everyone will be given a fair chance, except..” “Except for who?” I asked.. “Expect your Uncle and


    anyone who has hurt you.” As he said thosest words, he pulled me a little tighter into his arms.


    “We are here, Saphira, are you ready?”
