Chapter 289
The twins have powers.
Powers they hid from me. And they just saved all of us with them. Saved my mate.
I walk into my dad’s office, a little off kilter. I don’t know how to feel about this. How long have they known they had powers? How long have they been hiding?
Does everyone know? Was it just me who didn’t know about this? Aspen didn’t seem too surprised but knowing her it’d be hard to tell.
Aspen.
She was scared. She thought I was going to die, and it terrified her enough to show physical contact with me. She still cares about me. At least there’s one thing in this life that I haven’t completely destroyed.
“Is everyone really okay? You didn’t sound so sure.” My dad asks once I’m sitting in the chair across from him.
I look up into his eyes, “Yeah. Everyone made it out. We found something.” I tell him and his ears perk up, and eyes widen as he looks at me. “What did you find?” He asks quickly.
I shrug, “I’m not sure. I don’t even know if it’ll help, but we found a little twig doll.” I tell him and his face falls to skepticism. “A doll?”
I nod, “I don’t even know if it’s important, but Aspen seemed to think it was and the trap that met us after we found it, at least tells us whatever it is, it’s important to the witch. Aspen’s taking it to Hazel now to see if she thinks it holds any importance.” I explain and dad takes a deep breath and nods his head, looking at the papers on his desk.
I look at him, he had gained back a little weight after the cells, but it all seems to be leaving again. The dark circles under his eyes telling me that he hasn’t been sleeping. “Dad. Are you okay?” I ask him, and his eyes meet mine again. “I’m fine.” He says curtly. I don’t believe it. My mom being locked up again is killing him.
I stand up and take the whiskey from his hands.
“I was wrong. Learning to separate the real evil from the ones I’ve made up in my head, is something I’m still working on, but I was wrong about Hazel. After what I did, she’s still helping. Still spending all hours of the day trying to find something to help mom. If it were anyone else, they’d be long gone. Would have left the second you opened the borders
. But she didn’t she’s staying and she’s helping. She didn’t deserve what I did to her, and I will regret my decision for the rest of my life. We can’t fall into that path again. It’s what the actual evil wants. She wants us to lose hope; to fight with each other, she wants us to fail. But what has taken me so long to understand is we won’t.
Not as long as we have each other. Not as long as we stay united. Just like last time. You all fought the moon man together, you all won together.
It’s always been all of you against the world, and our family has only grown. We just need to stay strong. Which will only happen if we all help each other through this. Starting with you not killing yourself.”
I sit the bottle down and look into his eyes. “Mom’s still here. She may be infected, but she’s still here. Still breathing. Until she stops, I expect you to be as strong as I’ve always known you to be and fight for her, stay strong for her. Be the strong stable husband she expects from you. You’re not failing her. She’s doing what she needs to, to ensure everyones safety and now it’s your turn. Stop wallowing in self pity and protect this pack and your mate.”
