Chapter 93: Theo

We followed my parents as they led us to the woman standing near the shadows. She wore a simple

dress and a dark cloak jacket that made her seem from another time. There was also a presence about

her that inspired a sense of reverence from her.

“Theo, Ayla,” my dad began, “this is Sister Mona, of the Moon Haven Order.”

“Moon Haven?” Ayla questioned. “Why does that sound familiar?”

“That would be unexpected,” Sister Mona said. “Although, not entirely shocking given who you are.”

She reached out and took our hands. “It is an honor to meet you both, but I suggest we take this

conversation to a more private location.”

I led everyone back to the Alpha’s suite. When we were settled in the living room, I turned back to my

parents and our new guest.

“So, what is going on?” I asked. “What is this Moon Haven Order? And I warn you, I think I speak for

both of us when I say we’re pretty done with secret societies.”

“Trust me, young Alpha,” Sister Mona replied. “The Moon Haven Order is nothing like the Waar P ak

Society. We are far older and charged with a much greater purpose.”

“And what purpose is that?”

“To ensure the continuation of our species,” she said, glancing toward my father.

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s just start with what this means for the two of you,” she redirected. “Alpha Torin tells me Luna Ayla

is an Onyxcrown descendant. After witnessing the events of this evening, I have no doubt that is true.

And that you are the Luna of the prophecies.”

“Prophecies? What prophecies?” Ayla asked with slight annoyance in her voice.

I knew she believed her being the Blessed One was nonsense and was growing tired of hearing about

some special fate she was meant for. However, I had a feeling she wouldn’t be able to deny it much

longer.

“Prophecies of the Moonstone being reconstituted,” Sister Mona stated. “I believe you have found one

half of the stone recently. That is what led your father to us.”

“We found a box within the tomb of our founding Luna,” I replied with confusion. “We don’t know what is

inside it.”

I wasn’t sure about telling her that we knew Kingston had the other half. However, I knew he needed to

be here for this. He was still the protector of his half. I told him I would respect that position.

‘Briggs,’ I linked my Beta, ‘message Kingston to come here quick.’

‘Got it,’ he replied. I saw him discreetly send a message on his phone from the corner of my eye.

“I think we all know what we will replace inside that box,” Sister Mona said. “And it’s important that you do it

soon. The time is almost here.”

“The time for what, Sister?” Ayla inquired,

“For your ascension.”

“Come again?” – “Excuse me?” Ayla and I spoke at once.

“Both of you,” she continued. “You are the descendants of the original families. It is your destiny to

make the moonstone whole again.”

“You’ll have to forgive us, Sister Mona,” Dad said. “Our history was taught to us a little differently.

Prophecies and rituals haven’t been a part of our culture in a long time. Perhaps we would all benefit

from a revised history lesson.”

“Yes, I suppose you are right,” she replied. She smoothed her dress and sat up a little straighter in her

seat. “I suppose the best place to start would be how the Moonstone became a myth to you. In the

beginning, there were only two packs. Together, they wielded the power of the Moonstone to grow our

race. With it, we thrived. Building a society and culture of our own. The two packs maintained their hold

for generations. You would replace small, sc at tered packs of rogues here and there. But none that would

ever be officially recognized as a pack. The Onyxcrown and the Sablemane would never allow it.

“Until, a thousand years ago, those sc attered packs began to organize,” Sister Mona continued. “The

Sablemane Alphas abused their ability to command their people. What we saw today with Luna Ayla

was a demonstration of how great their abilities were. Many of those rogues were so because they

chose to leave the packs rather than risk being commanded to do unspeakable things. They appealed

to the Onyxcrown for help, but the Alpha did nothing. The rogues tried to form their own packs, but the

Sablemane would attack. Break them up before they could establish themselves.”

“We know that our found Luna was a Sablemane, an Amvorov to be exact,” I interrupted. “Is that why

she left her pack?”

“It was part of it,” she replied. “Matilda was the daughter of the Sablemane Alpha, Thane. She

protested against her father’s abuse of

power, but her objections fell on deaf ears, as you may have guessed. It wasn’t until the Alpha’s sights

were set on a young pack member, Lorna. A young mother with a fated mate. The Alpha wanted her for

himself. However, even he couldn’t overrule a fated match. She would have to leave her mate willingly,

but she wanted nothing to do with him.”

She fell quiet. We all knew the next part of her tale would be tragic.

“He wasn’t going to accept that, was he?” Ayla said, squeezing my hand.

“No, he wasn’t,” Sister Mona replied. “As punishment for refusing Alpha Thane, he commanded Lorna

to kill her mate… and their child.”

Audible gasps filled the room, and Ayla’s grip on my hand tightened, As did my hold on her.

“That despicable, evil…”

“Yes, he was,” the sister agreed. “He planned to command her to become his mate. With her fated

mate dead, he would have to power to do so. But Matilda was outraged by her father’s actions. She left

the pack, stealing Lorna away with her, in search of a way to not only remove her father as Alpha but to

strip him of his powers as well.”
