My Secret, My Bully, My Mates.

Chapter 0220

My eyes bug out of my head, and | think | forgot how to breathe. | am only still walking on auto-pilotfollowing Alpha Reggie around the maze.

“That makes Mateo your..."

“Nephew, naturally, but in the Royal bloodline, it's the first born female that is special."

My heart rate has skyrocketed and it feels like my heart is trying to physically leave my chest. Canhe actually tell me something about my mom? No one, not even Luna Ava, has ever told meanything about my mom out of fear of my dad's reaction. The only thing | have ever heard is that |look exactly like her and my brother has her hair color too.

Nothing more than that.

“Come here, this may be better digested sitting down." He leads us over to a small ornate concretebench. Where did this thing even come from? | was so distracted by his information, | stoppedobserving my surroundings. | couldn't let that be a thing. | mentally shook myself and took a lookaround as he led me over to sit down.

We seem to have come into the center of the maze with at least six exit points. The hedge sizedidn't seem to change here, but there were little manicured areas with flowers and shepherds hooksholding small wind chimes, crystals catching the light or other little wind catchers, giving a whimsicalfairytale vibe to the place. The concrete benches were set in a circle surrounding the clearing. |could see my six year old self sitting here with Mary having a tea party and giggling the day away. ~“| thought you might like this place, my mother and my aunt spent a lot of time here.” He smiled atme. “Let me start at the beginning, but jump in with any questions you have. It will help you tounderstand if you have the whole of our lineage as far back as we can trace it."

| nodded, vibrating with the idea that | was going to hear about my mom and a part of my family |didn’t even know existed. | gasped and sat up straight. "Does Xander know?

That we are cousins, or I'm family, or whatever is going on here?"

“Yes, he knows, so does Anne and Alpha Lucas and Luna Ava. But, no one beyond that knows and| want to keep it that way for a little while. You'll understand why when | finish my story.” He tells mesoftly watching my face fall. | wanted to run and tell Sierra and we could process the whole thingtogether, but something in his voice made me understand there is a vital reason for the secrecy,now | just had to be patient enough to hear it.

“Okay, let me hear it. How do | fit into your world?"

He chuckles, takes a deep breath and begins.

“When the Moon Goddess decided our population on earth was getting too vast for her to manageon her own. She chose Alphas to rule areas, the idea was that we were all responsible together forthe packs as a whole. She knew with our human half came certain complications and flaws, so shealso instilled our Lunas with the ability to communicate with her and to help control the possessiveand aggressive natures of the Alpha males. It was a way to have checks and balances. No AlphaKing could rule properly without his Goddess given mate and we were all evenly matched so it wasless likely for us to go to war with another kingdom.

Over time we evolved and got better for the most part. I can only speak to my line, so this may notbe accurate for all, but my great-great grandfather noticed that the first born females had specialabilities. Things like the ability to heal injuries while in wolf form. Some had additional strength orspeed, even by Royal blooded standards. Others had power over the mind and could control othersdifferently than what an Alpha aura would do. Things like that. He also discovered that everygeneration alternate between having a pure black or pure white wolf.”
