Chapter 159 – True Luna Book Free: The Unknown Magic

“They cursed a woman from one of the packs,” my mom said. “Alpha of her pack was her Goddess-given mate. The witches cursed the Alpha of the other pack and made him her mate as well. The witches thought that the two Alphas would fight over her, kill each other, and the packs wouldn’t exist anymore.”

My breath got caught in my throat.

“You had two mates?” my brother mumbled quietly.

My mom looked at him and nodded.

My eyes widened. Lex cursed under his breath.

“That’s why you have dark magic, princess,” my dad told me. “Your mom’s magic was created by a dark curse. The darkness from the curse transferred to you.”

I took a deep breath and released it slowly.

Lex grabbed my hand.

“Will Fia have two mates?” Lex asked worriedly.

My eyes widened and I looked at him. It didn’t even occur to me. Was it possible?

“We don’t know,” my mom sighed, making me look at her. “You know that I am the first White Wolf who had children. Everything we know so far is just an assumption.”

“What happened to the first White Wolf?” Lex asked.

“She killed herself,” my mom said. “She couldn’t choose between her two mates and she took her own life.”

An uneasy feeling washed over me.

“How did you choose, mom?” Lex asked her.

My mom smiled and looked at my dad.

“My heart knew that your dad was the one,” she said. “Our love was stronger than the curse.”

A small smile spread across my face.

My dad pulled my mom into his arms. He hugged her tightly and looked at us.

“I told you the story about the Rogue King, didn’t I?” dad asked as he kissed the top of my mom’s head.

“Yes,” Lex said. “He killed your dad and mom’s parents.”

Our dad nodded.

“We never told you the real reason why he attacked the pack,” our uncle sighed, joining the conversation. “We never told you who he was really after.”

“Is there anything that you did tell us?” Lex asked angrily.

“We were trying to protect you,” our dad said.

Lex clenched his fists and narrowed his eyes at our dad. I could tell that he wanted to argue, but I interrupted him. I didn’t want him to argue with dad. I understood that he was angry, but nothing good would come out of the two of them fighting.

“Who was the Rogue King after?” I asked, making my dad and my uncle look at me.

“Your mom,” my uncle said.

I froze. Lex growled.

What? Why?

Alexander’s POV

I couldn’t help but glare at my dad.

I loved him so fucking much, but I was so angry at him.

He rejected my mom. He didn’t believe her. She almost died because he didn’t believe her.

I wanted to punch him, and I felt bad about it. He was my dad. I would never hurt him.

But Goddess, I was so fucking pissed off.

“Why was he after our mom?” Fia asked quietly, her voice laced with sadness.

I squeezed her hand.

Are you okay?I mind-linked her.

I don’t know what to think.She said.I am sad and angry. I want to hug dad, but I am angry at him. I am so confused.

I know, Fia.I sighed.Me too.

“He heard about the legend of the White Wolf,” my dad answered. “He was working with some witches and they told him that he could take the White Wolf as his mate. They told him that she would make him powerful. He thought that he would be able to have children with her, and take over all the packs.”

I raised my eyebrows. Was he fucking insane?

“The witches who were working for him misinterpreted the legend,” my mom sighed. “As you already know, the legend was written in an ancient language and they translated it wrong. They thought that anyone could become my second mate.”

“We didn’t know anything about the legend at the time,” Uncle Andrew said. “We managed to capture some rogues that were working for the Rogue King and they told us bits and pieces that they’ve heard from the Rogue King.”

“We didn’t even know that I had magic,” my mom continued, making me look at her. “The Rogue Kind just thought that I would be a better Luna, I guess. He thought that I would be more powerful and charismatic. That’s about all that we knew about it.”

“And what happened to him?” I asked, feeling my heart race.

Did he hurt my mom? Was he alive? If he was, I would kill him with my own bare hands.

“He came to our border with a witch,” my dad sighed. “She used her magic to incapacitate us. The Rogue King threatened to kill us if your mom didn’t go with him.”

A growl escaped me.

He threatened to kill my dad?! He threatened to kill my family and my pack?!

Oh, I would fucking kill him!

“Oh, Goddess,” Fia cried out quietly.

I placed my arm over her shoulders.

“What did he do to you, mom?” I asked quietly.

I wanted to punch something.

Well, not something, someone. I wanted to punch Sienna and that fucker who helped her. I wanted to punch the Rogue King and that fucking witch.

“Well, as it turned out, they knew a bit more about the legend than we did,” my mom sighed. “It was still wrong, though, but they knew that I had magic. They knew that I could share it. So when the Rogue King took me, he let the witches experiment on me. They were trying to see how much I could endure. They were trying to make me use my magic and share it with them.”

I saw fucking red.

They experimented on my mom?!

Fia put a hand over her mouth and sobbed quietly.

“Oh, princess,” my mom said as she stood up and approached my sister.

She hugged her and kissed the top of her head.

“I am so sorry, mom,” Fia mumbled quietly.

“What did they do, mom?” I asked, trying to swallow the lump in my throat.

My mom looked at me and sighed.

“It doesn’t matter, honey,” she said. “All you need to know is that your dad and your uncle saved me again.”

It was bad. I knew it. She would tell us if it wasn’t bad.

“So Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack was the Rogue King?” Fia asked, looking up at our mom.

“No, princess,” my mom said as she wiped the tears from Fia’s cheeks. “The Rogue King’s name was Samuel and he wasn’t an Alpha.”

“Where is he?” I asked angrily.

“Dead,” my dad said, making me look at him.

Well, at least he did something right. He killed all the people who hurt my mom.

“Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack was my real cursed mate,” my mom said. “The Rogue King thought that anybody could become my mate by marking me, but it wasn’t true. The curse created my second mate and it was Alpha Nathan of the Blood Moon Pack.”
