Alpha And Luna
Chapter 22

Previously

-It's complicated, but Noah's not your real soul mate, it's just a spell that's been put on us, your mum and I are going to try and replace a way of sorting it out OK?

I nod and give my family a hug.

-See you in a bit?

-Of course darling, we'll see you very soon and when we've managed to break the spell, you'll be back here.

I smile at them and get into the car, ready for a new life.

Present Freya POS

It's been five years now since my little girl went to another pack for her safety, but she'll be back soon, because today we're going to break the spell. After five years of searching, we've managed to replace a witch powerful enough to break the 'bond' between them. -Are you ready, Mum? asks Evan.

-I've been waiting for this moment for so long!

The witch puts everything in place and begins the ritual.

-I call upon the goddess of the moon! I embody the spirits to undo an impossible bond! Two people are not soul mates, but are linked. Goddess of the Moon, help me to undo the link so that they can be happy and not unhappy, a witch has thwarted your choice and they are soul mates by mistake.

Suddenly a flash of lightning appears and the room turns purple, a lovely girl appears and looks at me.

-My dearest...

-I think you've got the wrong person, my parents are dead...

She smiles at me and takes me in her arms.

-I'm going to help you untie the knot, this is my little girl we're talking about...

I smile at her and she says incomprehensible words.

-Why didn't you call me before, I could have helped you much sooner?

-Did I know that my mother was the goddess of the moon? Then no, I couldn't have called you sooner.

She raises her eyes to the sky.

-The same temper as your brother, you know he never stops talking about you?

-You're dead!

-Watch how you talk to me!

-No! No, I won't! You abandoned me when I was only 10! I had to live on my own with the girls!

-And we're sorry, Freya! You think we decided to die?

-Of course we didn't! But you could have defended yourselves better or, as you're the goddess of the moon, helped me!

-How have I not helped you, Freya? I've always been there for you! I've given you a wonderful soul mate and you've had beautiful children.

I laugh wickedly.

-I never want to see you again.

-You hate being wrong and you'd rather run away from your problems than face them, what a miserable daughter I've made. Fabien was a much better match for me than you. Without seeing it, I hit her.

-How dare you? You must admit that coming from you this doesn't surprise me, you hated me and preferred Malo. You never told me you were proud of me and you lied to me. And to think you come here pretending to be my mother. That's not true, my mother died for me the day we buried you and the girls. A mother doesn't give her daughter another wolf and make her look like a fool, because she had two wolves, but only one of them was her real one. A mother didn't hit her daughter when she came back from training with one point less than her brother!

Her eyes turned red and suddenly my brother appeared and came to stand next to me.

-She's right, Éléna," he says. You're not a mother to us, you may be the one who gave us life, but a mother doesn't act like that with her children. An example of a real mother is Freya.

-How dare you say such a thing Malo! I've given you everything, the position of an alpha god and the beauty of Apollo, all the girls are at your feet!

-It was you who killed me that day, Elena! I was going to run away with Freya, but you threw a knife into my heart.

My mother made a surprised face and my brother laughed.

-You don't think I saw you throw that knife, do you? But I know that and I know very well that you're not our biological mother either, because you killed him that day.

I don't understand anything any more, is she my mother or not?

-You erased everyone's memories and pretended to be our mother on the day Freya was born. Only you forgot to erase Freya's memory.

He's looking at me.

-It was you who organised the death of our pack, because you knew that the death of the pack and our father would bring you the power of the Moon Goddess. She laughed.

-I thought you didn't have any intelligence, but you missed out.

-It's a pity, but you've forgotten something.

He takes out a box with drawings on it and puts it on the floor before opening it. A strange smoke comes out of it. A woman of the same age as the woman I always thought was my mother comes out. -Éléna! I'm so happy to see you!

She puts her hands in front of her and pushes Elena against the wall.

-You've kept me here for too long, now I'm going to take your life and take my place again.

She conjures up a knife and plunges it into Elena's heart. She turns to me and hugs me.

-I'm so happy to meet my daughter, my little Freya. You've grown so much.

I smile at her.

-I don't want to rush you, but could you help me break a spell against my daughter?

-Of course I can.

A few minutes later, she turns to me, a big smile on her face.

-As I am the goddess of the moon, I must return to my people, but you call me when you need me, I'll always be there for you.

I smile and give her a hug. Malo comes over to me and gives me a hug.

-I love you, little sister, you've made a beautiful family and I hope you're happy.

-I am happy, but I'd be even happier if you were with me," I say, bowing my head.

-The last time we saw each other, we talked about it, Freya, I'm always with you," he said. And I'm still here," he says, putting his hand on my heart.

I hug him even tighter.

-I love you, Malo.

-I love you too, Freya, we'll see each other again when the time is right.

Then he disappeared with my mother.

I turned round and saw the witch, my husband and my son looking at me strangely.

-So what's happened?

-Nothing very important, we're going to look for Maeva?

POS Maeva

I'm currently in the alpha's office, the one who looks after me while my parents deal with the spell. Suddenly I feel a strange sensation inside me and I think my parents have managed to break the spell. Maeva, I'd like you to help me with the Cubs, my 18-year-old son is coming home today and I'd like to spend some time with him.

-Of course, George, I'll do that right away.

He smiles at me and I leave the office to go and see the Cubs.

-Maeva! say the children when they see me.

I smile and just as I'm about to walk towards them, I bump into someone. I looked up and felt a very strong aura surrounding me, so I lowered my head.

-I'm sorry, I...

He lifts my head with two fingers and fixes his gaze on mine.

-Mine," he growls.
