The Secret She Never Knew

Small Truths

Casey's POV I go to Izzy's room to help her gather her things, her little blanket that her daddy gave her, her favorite dolly she cannot live without, lol. While, I am helping my nugget I ask Lucas if he is ready to go and tell him that he is. I tell him I have another surprise on the boat for him. He walks into Izzy's room saying mom, "why did get us something else you know you did not need to get us anything. We do not need gifts ever time we see you are spoiling her and she does not need that mom. We just want your love mom we really are ok without all the extra stuff." I stood there with my hands on my hips saying, "that I was the Mom and that was my right to spoil them however I say fit." Then I stuck my younge tongue out at Lucas. He looks at me and says, "mom we know you are very important and have a very important job. We know that you need to save others just like you saved us. You are a life giver and a healer that is what you do. We know how important that is to you so, it is important to us." I smiled at him then said, "what would I do without you son you are to smart for your own good mister I love you." We go back to the boat with little Izzy bouncing next to me. Everyone we pass nodded their heads at us and greets me as the queen I just smile and nod in return. I do not like being called their queen but I understand that I was the one who helped their queen when she was ill. The whole village took me in when she got sick I healed here wounds but her broken heart I could not fix and her heart ended up killing her. I took the title because she asked me to. I told the village that all I wanted to do was heal and they said being outsider they would allow that until the king was of age. I just had to keep the title. I would also have to raised the next king and queen as my own. I felt Sam's eyes burning a hole in the back of my head. When we entered the boat I asked, "what is wrong friend?" Sam replies, "you have kids and they call you queen but, I want to serve you and get no. Why do they get to have you as a queen do not know what they are? " I replied, "what do you mean they are not human? What are they then? As far as being their queen all I was asked to do was raise the kids as my own no they are not mine they belong to the old queen. It was the one and only patient that I have ever lost. Lucas says, "you know she died of a broken heart you could have never fixed that and you know it losing the king was to much for her. She was a good mother but you are my mom there is a difference and you know it mom. Besides we love you too much to let you leave us." We ride back to the island pretty quietly, except for Izzy bouncing around about going home. We arrived at the island Izzy jumps off the boat and runs to the house giggling mommy catch me she says. I run after her knowing I can easily catch her. Letting her get just out of my reach teasing her saying oh my look who can run faster since I seen her last. Sam and Luckus walked slowly behind Izzy and I so I could not hear what they are saying. I am guessing they are talking about me, but I will just have to wait and see. Sam's POV

I saw her stand there with that little girl and I saw that young man wrap his arms around her waist.Both children call her mother why do they call if she is still innocent? Then she agrees to take both of the children with us back to the island for three days. I just stand and listen to everything that is said. Then I hear something that troughs me off just a little, very one in the village calls her queen. I sniff the air around me and then it smell it they are werecoyotes. How could I have missed this I should have smelt it the moment I walked into the village they must have a sorcerer that made the whole place invisible and masked the scent of everyone in the village. How is this even possible, how has enough power to do this to a whole village? I stand her listening to this Reta talk to my little Dr about things in this village and what she needs to do for the village leaders. How is it she is so involved without knowing who she is with.

She starts to leave, and I follow behind as we are walking to the boat not just Reta but everyone in the village either bows or nods and says greetings to their Queen. She nods back at everyone and response to all the greets, if she ever decided to meet and go with Liam, she will make a perfect Luna. I see the love she has for her people even though they are not her people. How can one little human be so powerful in a world she does not belong. I am losing my focus I am her to protect the queen. I think I need to have a little talk with Lucas and just see what my little Dr’s roll is here in this village.

As we arrive at the island, I grab Lucas by the arm and hold him back. I look at him and see the anger build up in his face before I say hang on, I just want to talk to you. It is about the little Dr I just need to ask you somethings about her ok. He looks at me with a nod of his head and stays back to listen to what I have to say. I look at him with a question, “does she know what you are all are? Does she know what she is the queen of? Or even what that title means to your people? Is she aware of the power you people are possess?”

He looks at me with a smirk and says, “does she know what you are? What your kind is capable of?”

I look at him with a smile, “I nod my head saying yes I showed her exactly what I am. Now you junior.”

He looks at me with a frown and says, “no she does not know, when she helped our mother she was in human form as for being called the queen by everyone that was at my mother request. My mother said that she had a special aura that will be the saving grace of us all. My father is the one who put the cloak over the village and the island to keep us safe from outsiders view. You are the first outsider that to ever come here as far as I know. Now why are you here? What do you want from our mom? You should know I have turned and will kill you if need be. I will not let you hurt them I will die protecting my family by any means necessary.”

I tell him, “I am here to serve the queen and only the queen. I will protect anyone she cares for that is my job. You see I am a warrior of the queen I must do whatever she tells me to. That aura your mouth speaks of I see it and it has grown since she has been here. I want you to know son I will never fight you as long as she sides with you but the moment you go against her I will not hesitate to kill you.”
