Chapter 24
Monday 16th January
Stars POV
Waking up this morning, snuggled between my three perfect mates, I can’t believe how much my life has changed. I have gone from living with hatred and pain and praying to find a mate to love me, to having a loving family and three mates who worship the ground I walk on.
My mind wonders about everything I learned yesterday, my mother and everything she went through and the steps she took to keep me safe.
Then there is my father, a kidnapping rapist. I wonder what he is doing now. Is he back in Scotland? Has he kidnapped and raped other girls?
I look over Alexei’s head to the bedside table at the letter my mother wrote to me. I carefully reach for it. As my fingers grab the envelope, Alexei’s grip on my breast tightens, and he m***s into my flesh. I stroke his head and “shh” him, lying back onto Ace’s chest as I carefully open the letter.
Dear Astéri
I have so much to tell you, ómorfo koritsáki mou, (my beautiful baby girl), but the most important is that I love you with all my heart. The way you have been brought into this world was not how it was supposed to be, but I believe that everything happens for a reason, and we all have a part to play.
It is said that to achieve great things, we must overcome great hardships. I just hope that I have learned the brunt of our hardships and that you will have a perfect life.
I know that the only way to keep you safe is to leave you and this mou sparázei tin kardiá, (breaks my heart). But as I have said, we all have our part to play in this life.
Gemma and Alvin have become very dear to me, and I know that they will love you as their own, trust in them and Alpha Andrew and Luna Amanda they are good people, I could not have found a better family for you if I had tried.
Now to more important things. Our family line is old, our Klironomía (heritage), dates back to the birth of the lykánthropoi (lycanthrope),
And the reign of Atlantis. Our lykánes are very ischyrós (powerful), we have a special connection with the elements.
Our home will hold all the knowledge you will need. You will need to find our land and break the protections that my mother put up before she died.
Liam was angry he could not enter my land after he had taken me, that a great storm stops anyone trying to enter. Only our power can break the barrier. You must go home to Elláda (Greece).
The power of our land holds the key to our past. You must discover your destiny. Gemma and Alvin know how to find it. I have shown them on a map.
Lean on your wolf. She is the light and strength that will guide you.
Be warned, when you are marked, you will give great power to him. He will be immune to your powers, and he will have the power to command you to use your powers against his enemies.
Please choose carefully, although your wolf can stop a mark from taking hold. If she is strong enough, that’s what my wolf mystikistís (mystic) did with Liam’s mark. It faded away every time he marked me.
Liam may be your father, but he is a very dangerous man. If he finds you, he will try to charm you.
He is extremely good at using his charms to get people to trust him; it was how he got onto our land;
He spent weeks with us after he was injured in a fall on the cliffs;
He used his time to gather information and learn our weaknesses, and then he attacked.
I pray that some of our people survived, and escaped to neighbouring packs, and I hope you will find them.
Remember, I will always love you, my asteráki (little star), and my spirit will live on inside you.
óli mou i agápi (all my love)
mitéra (mother).
I don’t realise I am crying until Ace grand my chin and k****s my cheeks, “what’s the matter Tink? Why are you crying, my love?” I pass him the letter. He strokes my hair as he reads it.
Ashton and Alexei stir at his voice and wait patiently for him to pass the letter over. Lexi pulls me onto his lap, kissing my cheeks and my lips, soothing me. I cling to him as he and Ash read my letter.
Ash k****s my shoulder and Ace rubs my wrist, “so I guess we are going to Greece then.”
I look up at Alexei, and he smiles down at me, “baby you know we would never abuse your powers right? You can trust us to take care of you.”
I caress his cheek, “I know baby, so does Saffron, there is no doubt in either of our minds, that the three of you and your wolves belong to us. It’s why I feel so free with you all. It’s hard to explain, I am so comfortable with you, which is ridiculous, when only a couple of weeks ago I could barely be in your company without bushing and stuttering, but after less than three days I am sitting in front of you naked. It like we have been here before, like this moment was always going to happen. Does that make sense? I don’t know, I am just rambling right, maybe that bang on the head did some damage after all.”
Ace looks at me, “princess, we have always belonged to you, we just didn’t know it before.” he leans in for a gentle k**s, which soon turns needy and passionate, Ash coughs “come on guys, let’s get breakfast and get ready for school or we will never leave this bed.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
