Ethan pov
Melanie’s laughter peeled through the room like a mad woman. Until she realized no one else was laughing and she seemed to still have a hard time calming down.
“Melanie?”
“I am sorry, but you can’t be serious. I have heard of the legend of the blessed one. You can’t possibly believe that is me.”
“The blessed one is said to be powerful, on your birthday your aura was strong it brought everyone to their knees. The blessed one is said to be from the lineage of the moon goddess directly descended and rumored has it the blackhearts are. Right can you argue?”
“Well, no I can’t but…”
“The blessed on is said to be a hybrid of vampire witch and Fae descent, rumor has it your mother was a descended hybrid as well. Am I wrong?”
Melanie was quiet. I had no clue father had worked on this so long or had been so informed on geological records.
Finally, Melanies voice was so low it was whisper, “No you are not wrong” she fidgeted “But it this absurd to believe that I can be this powerful or a being. I am powerless.”
“Says the woman whose hands were lit up like candles a little while ago.” Hunter chirped rocking on his tip toes goofily earning a chuckle from everyone including Melanie.
“I don’t know what that was” She looked perplexed down at her hands.
“My Theories is your gifts being so strong, you took longer for them to mature for your body to handle them. Secondly like most witches or even hybrids are tied to your emotions. Earlier you were upset so your powers sensed that. Third where people have tampered with your memories It could have messed with your powers like seeing your childhood best friend unlocked memories of your childhood perhaps…” He hesitated, “Finding your mate and marking one another will unlock your gifts because there is no other strongest emotion than finding you other half of your soul. I have read some spells that dictate true love breaking spells.”
Melanie snorted, “Like sleeping beauty.”
“All human folklore somewhat based of truth.” My father gave a disappointed. “I have read about stories where he mates bond has broken spells.”
“I was upset earlier so the emotion thing I get but…”
“My point Is I think we will see much more things like that happening especially after you mark each other. I firmly believe you to be the blessed one and regardless you are destined to be our Luna Queen and I am not sure how much you know about Ethan, but he is powerful in his own right. I know the moon goddess would pair him with an equally powerful mate.”
“Look at the time Ethan, I’ve gotta get back. I plan to move some of my stuff I’ll need for a few days and plan a cover as to why I won’t be home. I’ll meet you this morning when they go back to bed. We stood.
“So, you have been meeting for few hours then retuning then for a few hours more. No wonder you needed my help I am proud of you son here I thought you were just slacking.”
“Alpha” hunter came forward “I know this is sudden but I’m a hybrid and I can mask my scent to appear a full blood wizard. I love being your gamma, but Luna will need her own team behind her here and in the royal courts or covens.?
“What are you asking Gamma.”
“I’m asking my position to be moved even if it is temporary to be the Lunas guard. I can feel the spots of bodyguard liaison to you until a link is established and as her 2nd or beta until she picks one. The vampire Queen won’t know I am half wolf and even if she does, she will believe part of the coven because; well, I am technically through my mom. As you know I never resigned under Queen Rayne, she gave me passage but kept me tied to the coven so she would be an alliance of yours.”
“I don’t” Melanie began but I cut her off. My gamma is right. I can’t let her go back unprotected.
“Babe listens to me; Hunter is right normally a Luna would have a team and with leaders even blood …. Vampire leaders do the same. You are my equal Zeus was going nutty scared shitless for your safety if hunter can give us a link why not embrace it.” I let that sink in, “Besides Hunter you are not being temporarily replaced or anything else part of a Gammas Job is to protect the Luna.”
“I don’t want to pull him from his duties or weaken your pack, Ethan.”
“Our pack and like I said part of his duties is protecting the Luna.”
The door opened former gamma Frank Hunters father along with his mate walked in. immediately hit her knee Infront of Melanie who looked horrified, “My Queen.”
“I’m not Luna Queen yet” she looked at me and my puzzled expression.
“I am aware your grace, I am not a wolf” Her hair changed to pale pink her nails grew long, and her clothes changed from jeans and t shirt to a dress robe with a hood and star embellishments on it, “I am of your coven, my Queen.”
“Oh, you’re a witch.” Melanie blushed “Get up please I am not your queen either my sister shall be coronated soon. But thank you for your consideration.”
“Jasamine black heart shall never take the throne of the hollow. My Queen,” She raised to her feet standing beside her mate “Your highness, this is my mare former Gamma Hunters father Frank Black Raven” She introduced us.
“Frank your son has ask to be temporarily assigned to you Luna’s guard. Will you mind filling in here back into your old job. Until Luna is here full time.”
“The honor is mine Alpha, welcome Luna.”
“See no gaps my love. “I wrapped my arms around her waist. She is starring at franks mate.
“What is your name?” she finally asked.
“Matilda Black Raven, your highness”
“Tildy” she clicks her tongue “Potions.”
“You remembered” the woman smiles.
“Yes, yet again another memory returned like a book being opened. Ethan I know how to make portions and spells and I was good at it.”
