Chapter 85
[SAMANTHA’s Point of View]
I looked at Madison and Cynthia, and they just bowed their heads.
“Let’s get inside,” I said to the kids as I led them gently inside. I felt I had to explain to them about everything and reminded myself to be gentle with it. I never wanted my kids to misunderstand everything, and the last thing I wanted was for them to believe everything they heard from the people around this area, especially in school.
Madison and Cynthia were too scared to speak about what had happened, so I focused on the twins. I made Devon and Diana sit on my bed and sat in front of them. I was scared this day would come—that my twins would start asking questions about everything they would hear from people about me.
“What is wolfless, Mom?” She asked the same question worriedly. “Devon and I heard the mothers in school about Wolfless Luna while looking at us. I don’t understand what that means.”
I smiled at Madison and Cynthia to let them know that it was alright, and they could leave us three in the room. Cynthia closed the door and gave me an apologetic look, feeling awful that the kids experienced such poor treatment from the people around them.
But it was something I couldn’t control. The people in the Silver Crescent hated us. Most of them, especially the wealthy people in the pack, favored Olivia more than me. Olivia was right. If it wasn’t for Lena, no one would ever want me to go back to Silver Crescent even if the Alpha wanted it. The Alpha had to listen to the majority of his council and elders, and Richard and Olivia had the most support from them.
“I have a story,” I said to Diana and Devon with love as I caressed the sides of their faces to ease their worry. ‘I have a story about a beautiful young female shifter who was born without a wolf. And a shifter without a wolf... people call them wolfless.” I explained slowly. “So this girl, she was destined for a greater calling. She was loved by the Alpha with all his heart, for she was his mate. She was destined to become the Luna after the Moon Goddess bound them to be together forever.”
Devon yawned and Diana stretched her little arms. “Okay, I guess you need to take a relaxing warm bath and take a short nap.”
“No, Mom,” Devon complained, looking genuinely interested in the story, “I need to know if she got her happy ending!”
