Our uncle’s eyes immediately moved to Mazie, as I was sure that it had been a while since he was properly greeted by the looks of things. “Beta Alex’s daughter, I presume.” He said to her, and Mazie quickly nodded her head, as if she was thrilled that he knew who she was. “Your father and I were good friends growing up. It’s nice to see that our Moon Goddess has gifted him with a mate and a family.” He then said to her, as his eyes moved to look at me for the first time. Mazie must have noticed the direction that he was staring in because she stepped to the side, allowing my uncle to get a better look at me. “So, this is my second-born nephew.” He says nonchalantly, like it was no big deal meeting me for the first time, making me wonder if he had been watching over us all these years.
