Chapter 370
Thalia POV
My head is reeling. The war is coming in two years. Our pups will be hybrids, Call me naïve, but I didn’t even think about how our pups would fur out. I just knew they would be here and they would be healthy and happy.
“Thalia, there is so much that is going to happen We need to remember what the Moon Goddess herself told us.’
I started thinking back and I remembered Diego, Armando and Rodrigo would be my biggest threat. Diego is in the dungeon, Armando is dead and Rodrigo finally woke up to the lies, Armando didn’t feel like a threat and Rodrigo is still up in the air. Diego is being tortured. This seems too simple. I don’t understand how they are my biggest threat.
‘Because the threat really hasn’t happened yet,’ yx said.
After everyone leaves the room and it’s just the six of us, Aiden starts to tell them about our pack. The blood pact and how it came to Blackstone. Once he finishes, I speak up.
“That’s not all.” I said.
Tio Valeno smiled, “I didn’t think it would be.”
I smile tightly, “When I took the pact, the Moon Goddess healed my body and then gave me a lot of information about Nyx. She also said that Diego, Armando and Rodrigo were my immediate threats. But it doesn’t seem that way right now. Armando is dead. Rodrigo seems to be turning over a new leaf and Diego…well, you know what’s happening there. Nyx seems to think the threat really hasn’t happened yet.
“Nyx would be right.” Abuelo said. “We will discuss with Luca and Mia this part later, however, you need to understand why Diego is the biggest threat. He knew about the prophecy. It’s why I want to see him. I want to go through his memory recall. I think because he believes he destroyed your wolf and Rodrigo’s wolf, that Mia would be the chosen one. He had to have known that Julian was a Shadow Maw My theory is that he struck up a deal for whatever shady business Julian is into to transfer to Diego’s hand in exchange for Mia. If Mia is intercepted, and he thinks she is the Shadow Maw, then Julian holds the ultimate weapon in the war.”
“How am I an ultimate weapon?” I asked. This all seems too fantastic.
“Nyx is extraordinary even by Shadow Maw standards.” Abuelo replied. “All Shadow Maws have gifts. Your tio for example, he has pyro-generating abilities.’
Aiden looks at him and smiles, “That’s why steam comes off you?”
Tio Valeno smirks and lifts his hands and fire sparks out from the fingernails. “Yeah. My temper can sometimes set it off. That’s why I left out the window after hearing what my niece has been through.”
Chapter 30
Then I asked to the room, “How is Nyx different?”
“What do you know about her gifts?”
“Moon Goddess showed me she could tap into other people’s gifts. Plus, my hearing and mind reading gifts are from her.” I said.
“You are half correct in what you understood, nieta.”
“Half?”
“You don’t tap into their gifts. You absorb it and embed it into your DNA. If you ‘tapped’ into Valeno’s gift right now, it would be a part of your DNA for the rest of your life.”
My jaw drops. I’ve never heard of such a gift. “Nobody loses their gifts, right?”
“No. You just copy it into your DNA.” Tio Valeno said, “Do you understand how powerful you are now? Your gifts are limitless because you can add it to your DNA them moment you tap into it.”
I look at Aiden, “And then I have the ability to share it with other people because of the blood pact.” I whispered. My mind is spinning. Why am I being granted this kind of power? I don’t understand. “What makes me so special that the Moon Goddess would choose me?” I asked.
“The prophecy states that the only person who could ever possess such strength and blessings would have to be someone who is selfless. You saved your sister from what your father had planned. You took a bullet for your mate just now You forgave your own brother after everything he put you through. You are helping your two friends become wolves themselves. The list is endless.” Abuelo said.
Aiden then squeezes my hand, “You stepped between me and Armando before too, saving people you didn’t even know because you saw his gun, mojito. You are constantly willing to put your own life on the line to save others. You even fought and killed six rogues to protect your sister.”
I feel tears prick my eyes. I don’t think I’m anything special. I was just defending those I care about. I don’t feel like it makes me worthy.
“Mojito, you also endured the abuse from your father for years to protect Mia and your mother.” Aiden added.
“I just don’t see how that is enough to make me worthy.” I said quietly.
“Only a person as selfless as you, that has endured so much, will be able to withstand what is to come. Trust the Moon Goddess’ decision.”
A thought occurs to me, “If this guy thinks Mia is the chosen one, then it means her life is in danger. If he gets to her and realizes that she isn’t the chosen one, he will kill her.”
“We will keep her safe.” Aiden said.
Then another thought occurs to me, “If Diego escapes, he knows I’m a shadow maw. He might tell Julian.”
“That fucker isn’t going anywhere.” Aiden said,
