Chapter five

Angus POV

Selene and Helios canny be serious? My daughter, a future goddess? Looking between Selene and Lillias I can see the resemblance, unlike the rest of the family Lillias is nearly a mirror image of our ancestor.

“Angus, you all cannot tell anyone what you have learnt or still to learn this day, this is the up most importance, do not even tell Isla. Lillias’ death will come sooner if you do, Silas will follow, this is the way of the world. Others will try to use them both if they find the truths told here today, Lillias should not come to us until she is an elder and lived a full life. This secret shall be passed down though her children as they will see their parents’ gifts” Selene informs us all, Helios nods in agreement. This is all starting to make complete sense, Lillias has always been special, when she was younger, I was sure she could move things without touch.

Lillias looks at me with understanding, her eyes go more to a deep purple as Helios speaks again. “We were wondering when you would come forth Scarlett, I believe you have some questions too?” Lillias head nods “Yes my lord, I do” how is this possible, no wolf has been able to speak like this though their human counterpart’s mouth, it is deemed impossible. “Ah Scarlett, you do not remember? Let me show you” Selene looks into my daughters’ eyes “let Lillias see also as this is important” Selene puts her hands together, slowly opening them again until an orb of light forms. This turns into wolves, Selene herself and Helios are shown. “This shall help us show you all” Helios confirms, “In times of old we was both just mire humans, until Celeste whom was half witch and half goddess, sister of Venus blessed us by giving her life to Selene’s daughter Koraline, in return making Selene a goddess to take over, Selene gave her life for Koraline, taking pity on me knowing I did not wish to live without my sister as we are twins, Celeste made me a god of the sun so we would be together always. Celeste made Lycans, which were unruly beasts, whom could only shift on a full moon, Selene fell in love with a Lycan and Koraline was born, half Lycan, half human”.

Looking at the orb, showing what Helios spoke, showing us how things went I looked at them all, finally piecing everything together. Selene continues “Celeste could only travel to earth on a full moon, on the night the villages found out that Koraline was half the beast they hunted, they kidnapped her, being queen helped me not, I begged the villagers for help, they refused. They tied my dear daughter to a stake in the middle of the courtyard and lit the wood at the bottom near her feet, I rushed forward to try to undo her, but they had used silver and it was too strong for my weak human body. Luckily for me, this was a full moon and Celeste herself came to greet me, not understanding that the love I had had tamed the beast within the Lycans, in return she saved my life and Koraline’s by giving her life force to us. I created werewolves, my first being Kora, when Koraline died Kora came to me, the whitest of wolves. Happily for me Koraline had many children who mated with humans, Helios’ son became the first Alpha, which is why you Lillias are so pure, our blood line collide within you, your mother is my great granddaughter by a couple of hundred and your father is Helios’ great grandson by the same, you are pure, the purest of wolf that will ever have been reborn, Scarlett you are the original granddaughter of mine, your wolf was Kora’s pup. I do hope this makes sense, both of you hold great power, but, as I have said, your love will be your weakness”

As much as this made sense in a strange way it didn’t, I could see the confusion on Silas’s face also.

Silas POV

How could Scarlett be reborn to be Sax’s mate? I am so confused, Lillias seemed to accept what was being said, how could having a mate become so confusing, we had only just met and already so much information to process.

“When a werewolf passes on and becomes one with the earth, their human counterpart’s soul goes to what you would see as heaven, while their wolf comes to me to be either reborn or become at peace to stay with myself, this is how I chose your mates” Selene confirms, closing her hands again so the orb now disappears, what a way to show us her history.

I was still confused but trusted in the moon goddess and the sun god, I also trusted in my mate to show me the way, I will be even more savage to protect her. My enemies will know me as merciless, the goddess gave me the gift of Lillias, I will protect her with my life. “Still show some mercy Silas, we paired you together because we know that statement as true. I hope we have answered everything you wonder as it is time to unfreeze this realm to continue our work” Helios stated while holding his hand out, Lillias took his hand, kissing each of her cheeks. From what I understand, wolves are normally jealous when anyone touches their mate, but Sax wasn’t, he was submitting to Helios and Selene. Selene chuckled behind me, walking around me to face myself, taking both my hands in hers, she whispers “this is the benefit of knowing the truth, your wolf recognises us and would never become jealous. Sax is a very loyal wolf, he always has been, he will always defend your mate”.

With that Selene beckons her brother, they both smile as they fade, the speck of dust starts to fall again, the sounds though the open window continue like nothing had happened. Lillias graces me with a smile while her cheeks pinken to her blush, “well mate of mine, I guess I should say goodbye to my family huh”, not giving me chance to answer, she turns on her heels and leaves her fathers office, Angus is sat still in his chair, staring at the spot where they faded.

Angus POV

Sitting at my desk still shocked at the confirmation that Lillias is more special than we originally thought, I missed her leaving to pack her belongings and say goodbye to our family. I was left with Silas, now knowing that their futures have always been entwined, I couldn’t possibly stand in the way of their bond. Blaine was starting to come round to the idea, knowing Silas could protect her, they were destined.

“So alpha Angus, I remember you saying you wish to speak to me” Silas spoke, this was true, but it was a little pointless now.

“Yes, I um, guess there is no need now, also, we are now family, I trust you to look after my girl, call me Angus in private” Silas looks taken back, a smug smirk sneaks onto his lips. “Not father then no?” I’m shocked no-one has ever dared to joke with me, never been so forward, this man has some balls I will give him that. A small chuckle leaves my mouth followed by a full belly laugh, “no Silas, not father”.

Silas holds his hand out to me, putting my head to the side wondering where he is going with this. “Your daughter is safe with me Angus, I would lay my life down for her happiness” with this I take his hand, shaking it while welcoming him to our family. I think I am secretly starting to like the guy. Silas stands, looking me in the eye, he bows as an acceptance of my position. “You may leave to find her” I state as my eyes flit down to the paperwork on my desk, not that I had any interest in it, my head was full of worry, wonder and excitement of the future.

‘Where are you my love’ Isla’s voice sounds in my head, I respond letting her know I’m in my office and am extremely busy, also informing her Lillias might want her help as this is her last night in our home. I think back to what Selene and Helios mentioned about both Lillias and Silas needing my help, I hope it will be nothing serious or dangerous, Lillias needs as much protection as possible, even more now that she is more then just a princess, my daughter, the white wolf.

Isla POV

Angus took Lillias and Silas to his office to discuss what is to happen next, we didn’t want them to be mates. I personally hated the idea, I make it up to the first floor, when Lillias comes skipping out of her father’s office, as if she was a pup again, not a care in the world. ‘Where are you my love’ I link him as I soon see Silas exit, if Angus was hurt I would feel it though the bond, but I don’t, instead I feel understanding, love and admiration. ‘I am in my office my love, just completing work I have put off, Lillias may need help packing as this is her last night in her home and I want to make it a pleasant one’ he closes the link and blocks me. What the actual fuck, why would my mate block my link to him? I follow Silas up to the fifth floor, he was obviously following Lillias scent. I walk into my daughter bedroom to find suitcases open, Silas is looking around amazed at everything she was hoping to bring. Which going by the boxes the maid had been sent for, this was literally everything apart from the furniture.

Lill looked up from a suitcase she was packing, looking me straight in the eye, “mama, which do you think would be the best outfit for travel?” she quizzed me. He was actually going to let her leave? Without our protection anything could happen, “the purple one Lillias” I responded, she nodded and packed everything in sight except her Winnie the Pooh nightwear and the purple outfit. Silas smiled at her in such a loving way, it looked like they had been a couple for years not met a couple of hours ago.

“Lillias sweetheart, is there anything else you wish to bring? There is plenty of room” Silas spoke so calmly to her, like she was his everything already. Rumour has it Silas had almost given up on finding his mate and Lillias’ party was the last hope for him, typically he found my daughter. “Are you sure all this will fit in the cars? I don’t want to fill them too much” Lillias smirked, that’s my girl, she takes no crap from no-one. I see Silas form a toothy grin, “don’t you worry your pretty head about it, I sent my beta home to pick up the van, he will be back in the morning” he winked at her.

“Mama, everything okay?” I didn’t realise tears where pouring out of the corner of my eyes, wiping them away quickly I croak “yes my dear, it will be strange here when you leave, my heart will be missing a bit” Lillias walks over to me and cuddles me, she is no longer my pup, I see that now.

Lillias POV

My mam looks at me with tears still in her eyes are she leaves my room, she leaves me and Silas alone. “So mate, where are you staying while you’re here, papa said you arrived last night, also why do they call you merciless and why are you so feared?” I question my mate. He smiles at me while he thinks of the best way to explain, “just jump straight in, eh sweetheart” Silas chuckles, “when Sax appeared when I was sixteen, we had a hard time shifting, I refused to let Sax take control and fought him. This ended in a very long painful shift, it took almost an hour if memory serves me right. When we finally shifted back, my father beat me, said I was weak, worthless and basically disowned me. I lost my temper, slit his throat and anyone else who opposed or disrespected me. Since then I have defended my pack with my life, some would say I am ruthless”
