The Willow Tree Library was in tune with Damien and I and provided accordingly. The chairs and couches were rearranged in a circle, surrounding the Trees magic circle in the center. Mates took over the couches, my brothers and the Warlock sat in the chairs. My mom and dad were seated on a couch that was conveniently located across from the Warlocks chair.
Kass and Kian were sitting on a couch to mom’s left, Damien and I were sitting on a couch to my dad’s right. We all looked at the
Warlock, waiting for him to begin, but he doesn’t say anything at first, just looks around at all of us curiously. Finally his gaze settles on my mom, he seemed to contemplate what he was about to say before he spoke. O
“Are you sure you want everyone here present for this conversation?” he askes her in a gentle tone.
Mom nods her head “Yes, go on Augustus, you can talk openly here with everyone that is present.” she tells him, her voice was soft.
The Warlock takes a deep breath then lets it out in a gush of air that could almost be called a frustrated sigh. “Where to begin..?” he mutters the question.
“Try the beginning.” Bella drawled, getting a few quiet but amused chuckles.

The Warlock gives her a narrow eyed look for a moment, then he just nods and turns his attention back onto my mom. “To start at the beginning is to say…I never liked the man your mother was married off to at your grandfathers insistence… after she was rejected by her fated mate.” Augustus said to my mom in a solemn tone.
Everyone was stunned into silence for a moment, even my mother “I didn’t know mother had been rejected.” Mom finally said, her voice had a husky quality to it.
Augustus sighed sadly and nodded his head “The one who rejected your mother….was a Vampire Witch Hybrid.” there were several gasps at that information.
“Mother had said back then, that my mate would reject me….and when she found out I was pregnant with Kass…..she called her an abomination.” mom said to Augustus quietly.
“Yes….she told me all about it….and has agonized over everything she did….to you, your sister, your mate, and most especially….what she said about her granddaughter and grandsons.” He tells her, his voice sad.
Mom had a frown on her face now, her brow furrowed, my father was still, almost like stone, keeping what he was feeling from showing. I look at my sister and I could see she was feeling complicated emotions with her continuously changing expressions.
“What are you saying to me Augustus?” mom asked him.
“From the moment your mother was born, a plan was formed….your mother….and her fated mate….fell victim to the plans of the
Black Magic Coven.” He said in a serious tone, there was anger there, just barely heard, but it was there.
“What?” was all my mom was able to ask in a faint voice.
We were all more than a little stunned now, all of us in various stages of shock over his words, looking at each other, our looks turning from shock to confusion, then, intense curiosity.
“You mother’s fated mate….had never wanted to reject your mother….he had been told that if he didn’t reject her, with the excuse they gave him….they would kill your mother.” he said, his voice had grown a little hoarse with this explanation.
“You grandfather, not being a Goldlight was targeted through hypnosis after being drugged, that was why he convinced your mother to marry the Warlock of their choosing….your father….was really a Black Magic Coven Warlock.” His anger appearing more in his tone with his last words.
“Wait….I was told the reason my mother was married to that Warlock was because he was a respected Council Warlock.” she said.
Augustus shakes his head “The only claim to the Council your father had was through your mother, and because he was not her fated mate, the rest of the Council didn’t acknowledge his claim to that position, not until after you were born.” Augustus told her.
“My father hated that both me and my sisters were female, he constantly disparaged us for being born female, he would tell us we would never amount to anything, that we were worthless to him.” She tells Augustus.
The look on his face was equal parts fury and horror. “The Goldlight’s Council seat has always been held by a daughter of the
Goldlight’s, son’s were rarely born in your line, you have produced more son’s than any of your ancestors ever did.” he tells her.
O
“He would never say those things in front of my mother, the one time she had walked in on him saying those things to me and my sister, she flew into a rage. She made us leave his office, and all we could hear was a lot of screaming and yelling after that.”
She paused a moment, then said. ” He died not long after that.”
“The heart attack that killed him, was because he never recovered from the blast of magic your mother hit him with in her anger over his words to you and your sister….it was actually very good that he died, or the Black magic Coven’s plans for you and your sister would have been carried out.” he said.
“Plans?….What plans?” my mother asked Augustus, she looked confused and upset, my father wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close into his side, his stony mask falling, his emotions for his mate now plain to see on his face. .
Alora’s POV
I was not happy at the moment…I was furious. I didn’t allow what I was feeling to show, instead, if the others were to look at me,
I would seem calm and serene. The Black Magic Coven had reared it’s ugly head again, only this time it involved my new mother.
