15 We Meet

Lincoln POV

I’m speechless when he says that Clara is his sister. The goddess truly is amazing. I pull him into a hug. “Cayden, I can’t believe you’re here.” After what Evelyn just told us, she will finally get the chance to be with both her pups. When I pull back, he looks shocked. “I’m sorry I guess I should have explained first. Clara is mated to my son and is the future Luna of the Nightfire pack.” He smiles “I’m so glad she is safe. My father assured me that she was alright, but until now it was still hard to believe.” “Your father” I say like a question. “My father came to me when I was unconscious and told me about what happened to my mother. He is the reason I have powers.” “Cayden, I would like you to return to the pack with me today. There is someone there besides Clara that has been waiting to see you.” “Who would be there that wanted to see me besides my sister?” “Your mother is waiting for you and your sister in the Nightfire Pack. She has learned the truth and she wanted to find her pups.” The smile that spreads across his face is brilliant. “How is this possible” he asks. I place my hand on his shoulder “because the goddess always has a plan.”

I turn and stick out my hand to Calliope. “It’s nice to meet you. I’m glad you have found a place here in the collective.” “Thank you, Alpha. It is very nice to meet you.” “I don’t mean to pry, but you’re a pack wolf aren’t you?” “My mother and I were from a pack, yes. We no longer had a place there and now we are a member of the collective.” I can tell she isn’t ready to share that part of her past yet and I don’t push. I nod and turn back to Carter. “Thank you, for calling me here today.” We shake and walk out into the pack yard. Sarah and Abigale along with a woman I’ve never seen are waiting for us. I hug both Abigale and Sarah. “Link I want a ride” Sarah says and I chuckle. “Not today little one but I promise I will come back and Talon can give you a ride.” Everyone says their goodbyes. “Cayden are you able to shift and run back to the pack?” He nods and we all shift.

Alpha Grant POV

A knock sounds on my office door and at first I assume it’s Evelyn but I don’t catch her scent. “Come in” I say and the door opens. One of my guards walks in and comes to stand in front of my desk. “What can I help you with” I ask him. “Alpha I took the Luna out at her request today. She did not return with me.” I stand “excuse me. Where the f**k is my Luna?” “She commanded me to return without her so I had no choice Alpha. She told me to tell you to call her if you want answers.” “Get the f**k out of my office now.” He scurries out and I start to pace. She can’t know. It’s not possible. The only person who knew from the pack is dead. I pull the phone out of my pocket and dial Evelyn’s number. She picks up on the second ring but there is silence. “Evelyn, I know you’re there.” “Yes I am. This is the last time you will speak to me after what you have done.” “Evelyn, you’re not making sense. I don’t know what you think I have done but you’re wrong. Where are you? I’m coming to get you.” She laughs “no you’re not. The only time you will ever see me again is when I watch you pay for what you have done.” I take a deep breath trying to stay calm.

“You are a monster and I wish I never met you. You took my pups from me because you are a selfish pr*ck. You watched me suffer and you knew what you had done. You pretended you loved me but no one does that to someone they love. I, Evelyn Jane Hoffner, reject you, Grant Thomas Hoffner, as my mate and Alpha.” The minute the words are spoken the pain in my chest is unbearable. Thiago is whimpering. “I will never accept this Evelyn,” I manage to get out before I drop the phone to the ground. I fall to my knees trying to catch my breath. This can’t be happening. The pain in my chest seems to be subsiding. I have to get to her. Even if I don’t accept it the rejection will take effect the longer she is away from me. “I told you that you would regret what you did. I didn’t want the pups either but I knew that we would lose her for what you did” Thiago says. “Shut up. I don’t need to hear that sh*t right now.” I manage to link the guard that escorted Evelyn today to return to my office.

I get to my chair and the pain is completely gone, but I feel broken. The door opens and the guard rushes inside. I see the fear written on his face. “Where did you take the Luna today?” “She is at the

Nightfire Pack, Alpha.” “Is that the only place you took her?” He doesn’t speak and I have no patience right now. “Answer me or I will snap your neck where you stand” I use my Alpha command on him. “I took her to a house in the human city.” “You will take three warriors and go to that house. I want every person that lives there brought to me now.” “Alpha” he starts to say and I start toward him. “Yes Alpha” he says and rushes from the room. I pick up the phone and dial the Nightfire Pack. It rings twice before a voice I don’t expect picks up the phone. “Amelia, it’s Alpha Grant.” There is silence for seconds before I speak again. “Amelia, Evelyn is confused. I would never do anything to hurt her. I need to speak to her face to face. I am on my way to the pack to get my Luna.”

Amelia POV

I can’t believe what Lincoln just told me. It’s amazing to think that Evelyn is going to finally meet her pups. I sat with her for a few minutes after I showed her the room. I can’t imagine anyone taking Eli from me. She has lost so much because of one man’s selfishness. I’m waiting in the office until he gets back with Evelyn’s son. I hope that Eli and Clara will be back soon. The phone ringing brings me out of my thoughts. As soon as I pick it up I feel sick to my stomach when I hear his voice. How could he dare call here after all he has done. When he starts to plead I have no sympathy in my heart for this man. “Grant you are no longer welcome in the Nightfire Pack.” “You are in no position to tell me what I can and cannot do Luna.” I laugh “I may be a Luna but at least I’m not a coward who hurt innocent pups.” He growls “I would be careful how you speak to me, Amelia. I will have my Luna even if it means I have to burn your pack to the ground.” The call disconnects and I link the patrol guards. “I want increased patrol at all the pack borders. No member of the Red Moon pack may enter the pack lands. That includes Alpha Grant am I clear?” “Yes Luna” I hear multiple guards say in my mind.

I wait patiently for Lincoln to return. I know he is on his way and I will tell him about Grant when he arrives. Twenty minutes later the door to the office flies open and I am wrapped in strong arms. “Lincoln, I’m fine. The guards have been given their orders.” He pulls back and he smiles. “I had no doubt you would handle it love. You can tell me exactly what that prick said later. Right now we have

more pressing matters.” He steps aside and a young man that I can clearly see is related to Clara is smiling at us. The minute our eyes meet he bares his neck to me. I make my way over to him and wrap him in a hug. “Welcome home Cayden.” “Thank you, Luna.” I pull back “I am Amelia to you. You are part of our family now.” I can see unshed tears in his eyes and I pull him into a hug again. “You are safe.”

Eli POV

We drive the twenty minutes back to the pack. When we reach the gate I notice that there is an increased number of guards around the perimeter. I link my father to make sure everything is alright. “Eli I need you and Clara to come to my office now.” I can tell by my father’s voice that this is important and as much as I want to make Clara mine right this minute it is going to have to wait a little longer. I park the car and go around to open her door. The smile on her beautiful face falls when our eyes meet. “What’s wrong Eli?” “I’m not sure but my parents want us to come to the office.” “Then let’s go. It must be important.” I kiss her forehead before I take her hand leading her through the pack house. As soon as we reach the door I don’t knock. When we walk in Clara freezes like she has seen a ghost. I notice the man sitting on the couch with my mother. Before I can even ask who he is Clara is in his arms. I expect Silas to growl but he doesn’t. At that moment I realize it’s Cayden. Her brother is here and safe. How is this possible?

Clara POV

“Cayden, you’re alright. How did you get here?” “There are so many things I need to tell you Clara. Things that we could never imagine being the truth of how we came to be in that awful place.” The door opens and when I turn Luna Evelyn is standing there staring at me and Cayden. Before I can ask what is happening Cayden whispers “mom.” My legs feel weak and strong arms wrap around me. Eli helps me to sit on the couch and Evelyn comes to sit next to me. “Clara, are you alright” she asks. I look up and Cayden is smiling at me. Could she really be our mother? I look back at Evelyn and I can feel the

tears on my cheeks. “Are you our mother?” She nods and I can’t help but wrap her in my arms. I have no idea why we ended up in that place but right now I just want to hug my mother. “I don’t understand.” “I promise you Clara I will explain everything to you and Cayden but I need you to know that I had no idea that you were alive.” My heart clenches in my chest. My mother and my brother are here with me.

Everyone takes a seat and Cayden sits next to our mother. She takes each of our hands. When she begins to tell the story of our father and how she lost him my heart breaks for her. We are not the only ones that have suffered. “I just wish that I knew what Grant had done. I would never have stopped looking for you. You two are my pups and I will never let you go again.” “I’m so glad you came to the ball and that we are all together now.” I hug my mother again and I can’t believe that she is really here. I will thank the goddess every day for bringing me my family.
