Onyx just walked out of the office after he scolded Landon about him not being Dalton. Which is exactly what I have been saying for years, but he doesn't seem to listen. Onyx is a good boy. He's always been special to me, Sapphire as well. We should have known that Damian would have mentioned this to him instead of assuming he was still in the dark like our children.
Would someone like to explain to me what the hell Onyx is talking about? Ryder spoke up.
I put my hand on my forehead and sighed, realizing that all this was said in front of Ryder and Ryker and now we would have to include them in this information that we literally don't know about for sure.
I second that. Also, Who the hell is Dalton and Lacey? Ryker spoke next.
Hey, watch your language and your tone in your mother's presence! Landon scolded.
Sorry, they both said in unison.
We didn't mean not to tell our kids, but with my past, I didn't want them living in fear like I had to. I do suspect that the prophecy was about Anna and I have been watching her, but she seems like a normal she wolf. I hadn't noticed any powers or anything like with the rest of the kids, and even they only have one or two, Anna mostly keeps to herself and doesn't talk about anything like that happening to her, although when she was little I would catch her talking to herself a lot and she would always say she was talking to her best friend Angel. Daphne assumed she had an imaginary friend because she eventually stopped talking about her altogether.
so doubt filled my mind and before I knew it my pups were already half grown. Riyann doesn't get visions anymore. The last time she did, there was an incident that almost killed her when she was pregnant with Danica, Her choices ended up as she could keep her powers and lose her pup or give up her powers completely and live as a Normal she wolf with her mate and family. She didn't even flinch before she opted for losing her powers and I didn't blame her.
I don't doubt that Damian is the one who would have told him but do you think he told Anna? Ajak stated and asked.
Most likely, the two of them are really close. We'll just have to talk to them tomorrow. It is already really late. I answered then I sighed.
Can someone please tell us what is going on? Ryder repeated.
We will have to son, just wait till morning. Landon said and then we all headed to bed. We can't put this off any longer.

I woke up the next morning to someone pushing through the mindlink.
What?
I said in a very groggy tone.
Meet us in the office now Anna. My dad says
Great. what did I do now? I thought to myself.
I didn't even get dressed. I got up and walked downstairs to my father's office in my short sleep shorts and tank top.
I knocked on the office door and heard my father yelling come in. It was on 6 am. What would be so important for me to come in here this early.
My dad was sitting in his office chair, he looked as if he has not slept at all.
Have a seat Anna.
I did as instructed. What can I help you with dad?
He looked at me with a stern face, not saying anything at all. I became very uneasy.
Give me a minute sweetie. We are waiting for a few more people.
I wondered who we were waiting on but that wonder was short lived after a few minutes because I got my answer. A knock sounded and my father yet again called for them to come on in.
Ryder walked in first, then Ryker, my mom and then Onyx. They all looked tired. What the hell was going on? Was there a party that I didn't know about? I slept great but it seemed as if I was the only one. My mother went to stand next to my dad and he pulled her on to his lap. Ryder and Ryker sat on the couch and Onyx sat in the chair next to me.
I'm confused as to what is happening. Finally, my mother spoke first after what looked like her mindlinking with dad.
We wanted to finish the conversation from this morning without any ill intentions this time.
This time? What happened this morning? I said quizzically. I looked over at Onyx and he already looked very annoyed, Ryder and Ryker only said finally.
Onyx spoke first. I was called in here at 3 am and bombarded with questions about you.
About me?
Sweetie, Onyx enlightened us about some things and we realized we have indeed been keeping things from you. We decided to let you all know everything instead of keeping you in the dark any longer and we hope that you will be just as honest with us. Mom started out with.
Before we begin, though. Onyx, I owe you an apology. You were a child and I had no right treating you as a terrorist. You are right, You are not Dalton, I was seeing something in you that wasn't there and judging you with out getting to know you and for that I do apologize.
Now I'm stunned. My father apologizing? Wow, that is definitely something you don't see or hear every day. My father is a very proud man.
Thank you Alpha, I'll accept your apology as long as you can remember that I am not them.
Okay, can someone tell me what is going on? Why was there a meeting about me at 3 in the morning without me even being around.
Anna, Onyx told us what he told you last night, we would like to clear the air with you and your brothers.
Why just us? We have other siblings that may need to know as well.
Your brothers are here because they are future Alphas here and they heard all the commotion last night. and if what your mother and I suspect is true then this prophecy is about you and that there may be some things that you are hiding from us as well.
I'm floored. What do we do Angel? Should we tell them? Even Onyx doesn't know.
Yes, I think we should. You only just found out recently as well.
My mother then started to recant and recite every thing that she had been through in her past before and after meeting dad. all the way to her death and then being reborn again. Tears drenched my face as I heard and took in everything she had to say. Ryder looked upset but Ryker looked angry. Onyx was slightly indifferent about the whole thing and I assume because he had already known.
Why? Why did you not tell us before? One of your pups could save the world, save us all. it seems as if every one but your pups knew about this. Ryker spoke angrily. I wiped my face, Onyx was staring up at me and I knew all he wanted to do was hold me but he couldn't, not yet at least.
We were going to but that isn't exactly an easy subject to bring up to your kids.
My mother said.
I understand now more than ever. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. If they were going to finally be honest with me, then I should at least reciprocate that honesty.
I have been keeping something from everyone. Onyx knows most of it but there is even more that I have not told him.
Onyx looked at me shocked. I sighed, then continued. I didn't exactly get my wolf yesterday. I was born to her and her to I. I could always hear her, I just was not able to shift until last night.
Wait? Angel? I thought that she was just your imaginary friend? My mother asked stated.
No, She is my wolf and Onyx was the only one who has ever known. But what he didn't know is that a year ago... I looked at Onyx letting him know that I was about to divulge our secret... A year ago after his birthday, I found out I have a few powers and will have even more whenever my mate and I marked each other.
My family just looked at me stumped, Onyx went wide eyed towards me.
What powers Anna? Onyx asked.
The power of life and death. I can bring someone back to life only if they have a recent death. I'm not exactly sure how recent though, or I can take away life in an instant. I can also heal others. That is all I know at this moment.
Ok? My father said, confused. But why did you only find out after Onyx' birthday last year?
I was, but at the same time, I was not ready for this conversation, but it would have to be done eventually.
Because Onyx turned 18. Like I said, I was born with my wolf, So I have always known, but he didn't know until last year. Our wolves had to recognize each other first before hand.
Are you saying what I think you are saying? Ryker asked.
I looked at him and Ryder, then I looked at Onyx. Finally, I looked back at my parents. You could tell just by their expression that they knew what I was about to say. And after all these years, I was about to confirm it. My dad looked angry. Mom looked excited.
Yes. Onyx and I are mates.....
