Chapter 157 – True Luna Book Free: The Unknown Magic

“I know!” I exclaimed. “I hoped that she would learn by now.”

“Thanks a lot, Emma,” my uncle frowned. “My coffee is watered down now.”

“Oh, relax, it was just a few drops of water,” my mom sighed.

“Now I know where Sophia gets it from,” I said, narrowing my eyes at my mom. “That’s exactly what she always says to me. Oh, relax, Alex.”

My dad was chuckling the entire time. He approached my uncle and gave him a fresh cup of coffee.

“Sophia?” I heard my sister’s voice. “You are that mad at me?”

I looked at her and rolled my eyes. I only called her Sophia when I was really mad at her. Everyone called her Sophia only when they were mad at her. People called her Sophie or Soph. I always called her Fia.

“You need to close the door when you leave my room,” I sighed.

“I know,” Fia said. “I already told you that I am sorry.”

“Sorry won’t close my door,” I mumbled, frowning at her.

“Okay, enough,” my dad said as he placed a plate filled with pancakes in front of us. “You can argue about it later. We have more important things to discuss today.”

I frowned and looked at my dad.

“Is everything okay?” I asked.

Fia and I turned 18 three months ago, and my father was preparing me to become an Alpha. I was slowly taking over some of the duties and I was hoping to take over the pack by the time I turned 19.

“Yes, bud, don’t worry,” my dad said, giving me a small smile. “I just need to talk to you and Soph about the Alpha gathering this year.”

My excitement grew immediately. The Alpha gathering was at our pack this year and it would be the first time I would be allowed to go. I wanted my dad to take me sooner, but he told me that I had to wait until I turned 18.

“What about it?” I asked, excitedly.

My dad glanced at my mom and my uncle. I could swear that I saw a hint of worry in his eyes.

“We are allowed to go this year, right?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows.

If my dad said that I couldn’t go again this year…

“Of course, bud,” my dad said, making me sigh in relief. “We just want to tell you a little bit about Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack.”

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Fia. She was looking at my dad with a confused expression on her face.

“What about him?” I asked, looking back at my dad.

He took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

“Our pack has a history with him,” my dad said as he placed his hands on my mom’s shoulders. “We moved on, but it’s something that has affected us greatly and we could never forget what happened.”

My heartbeat quickened.

“What happened?” I asked quietly.

My dad looked down at my mom. She smiled at him.

“Alpha Nathan tried to take your mom away from me,” my dad said, making my eyes widen.

Axel stirred and growled.

“What?” Fia mumbled quietly.

I took her hand in mine and squeezed it.

“Talk,” I said sternly.

Alexander’s POV

I watched my dad as he pulled up a chair and sat down next to my mom. She ran her fingers through his hair and he smiled at her.

“I love you, Emma,” my dad said quietly.

“I love you too,” my mom said, giving him a small smile.

My dad turned to Fia and me.

“I always told you that your fated mate would be the most important person in your life, right?” my dad asked.

I nodded. I was getting more confused by the second.

“I always told you that you have to cherish and respect your mate, right?” my dad asked, his voice raspy.

I nodded again.

I glanced at Fia. She was as confused as me.

“What I am about to tell you next will probably change the way you feel about me,” my dad said, his voice breaking. “I just hope that you will find a way to forgive me. I love you two and your mom with my entire heart and soul and I never want to lose you.”

My heart raced.

What the hell was he talking about? Why would I change the way I felt about my dad? I loved my dad.

He took a deep breath and pulled my mom closer to him. She caressed his cheek gently.

“When I first found out that your mom was my mate, I rejected her,” my dad said, making Fia gasp.

I was frozen.

What?

He rejected my mom? My wonderful mom? Why?!

I glanced at my uncle. Did he know about this? How could he let it happen? If Fia’s mate rejected her, I would rip his fucking heart out of his body.

“Why, dad?” Fia asked, her voice laced with sadness.

My dad closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

“I was an idiot,” my dad said quietly as he opened his eyes and looked at my sister and me. “As you know, your grandfather was killed in a rogue attack and he left me in charge before I even started my Alpha training. I felt so responsible for my pack and I was focused on finding a strong mate.”

I tightened my hand around Fia’s.

“I found out that your mom was my mate on her 18th birthday,” dad said, looking at my mom. “I rejected her that same day. I thought that she wasn’t strong enough to be my Luna. I decided to take a chosen mate. I decided to make Sienna my Luna.”

To say that I was pissed off would be an understatement.

“Who is Sienna?” Fia asked quietly.

“Did you know about it?” I asked my uncle at the same time.

My uncle nodded and took a deep breath. “I did. I agreed with your dad. I supported him in his decision.”

My eyes widened.

Was he serious?! Was he fucking serious?!

“Are you kidding me?!” I exclaimed, looking at my uncle wide-eyed. “You let him do that to your sister?!”

I instinctively pulled Fia closer to me.

“I made a mistake,” my uncle said. “Your dad and I both made a lot of mistakes.”

I looked at my mom. How could they hurt her like that? My mom was the best woman on this planet, and I wasn’t saying it because she was my mom. It was the truth.

My mom smiled at me. I wanted to hug her.

“Who is Sienna?” my sister asked again, making us all look at her.

She looked so sad and disappointed.

My dad took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

“Sienna was Andrew’s and mine childhood best friend,” my dad said.

“Where is she now?” Fia asked.

We never met her. I’d never even heard about her until a few minutes ago.
