I breathe deeply, but William Blue just calmly walks past me to go back to the desk.
“I really didn’t think I would one day meet someone wearing the name of Blue Moon. My grandmother gave up that name when she came here. If you’re the real thing, you are a survivor, miss Nora. So, I really hope you have a good story to tell me.”
A good story? Does he mean about my origins? I don’t know anything! Aside from what Alec said, I’m at a loss. Whether it’s about my mother or my birth, I don’t know a thing. Shouldn’t he be the one to tell me more? And why would I be called a survivor? He can’t mean... I stare at him again, confused.
“What happened to the original Clan?” I ask. “To Queen Diane and her children?”
I want to ask what happened to my mother, but those words won’t come out. This truth hasn’t fully sunk in yet.
He shrugs. “You tell me. You came all the way here to introduce yourself with that name, so I want to know what you know.”
“I don’t know anything!” I yell out of frustration.
All I could do was gather pieces about my birth that always turn out to be fake or wrong one after another. Now that I finally meet someone who could finally tell me where I really come from, who my birth mother really is, he suddenly wants to hear from me? Moon Goddess, this is impossible to bear!
“I initially came here to ask why you resent the Blood Moon, my mate’s Clan, so much. I had no idea I was related to your pack at all! All I wanted was to find a way to stop thewar between the Clans, and a way to stop that Witch! I never imagined this…”
At some point, I start crying, and I feel Bobo worrying about me. He pokes me gently with his nose, but the tears won’t stop. All the stress and the emotions are overflowing right now, and I can’t stop it.
“Nora, where the hell are you?”
Oh, Moon Goddess. Damian. I completely forgot! How long were we gone? He is already looking for us, and I didn’t manage to do anything yet! He must have felt my distress, too.
“I am fine.”
“Stop it, neither you nor your wolf sound fine. Tell me where you are right away!”
“What is it?”
William Blue noticed my expression and can’t understand why I suddenly held in my tears. I wipe them away and shake my head. “My mate is looking for me.”
He frowns. “Damian Black? How can you know if you are not part of his Clan?”
“That is an ability of mine. I can communicate with other Alphas as long as I’ve physically met them before.”
“Or you lied about not belonging to him yet...”
“If I was lying, could I do this?”
I use my wolf’s inner voice, but I don’t bother to hide how annoyed I am, and he subconsciously steps back in surprise as soon as I mind-link him. It takes a few seconds for him to get it, but he regains his composure quite quickly.
“Interesting... This ability must be quite handy, I imagine.”
“You still haven’t said a thing about the Blue Moon Clan!”
He shakes his head. “I don’t trust you just based on a physical resemblance and a name. Even if I do, there is no way I would trust the partner of a man like Damian Black.”
“Damian is not his father.”
“It still doesn’t mean I can trust him. Why would he willingly work with us?”
“Because Damian would do anything to protect me!”
My words echo in the room for a while, leaving a heavy silence after them. I used my inner wolf without noticing, but I don’t care who heard me. I’m running out of the time, and this man is so stubborn!
I try to calm down and ignore Damian’s angry voice in my head to turn to face William.
“If I am right, and if what you said is right, then this witch might be after me. My father gave me the name Bluemoon; he knew who my mother was. I am a child of the Blue Moon Clan. Those twins, Queen Diane’s children, were born fifty years ago, you say. Look at me! I look like her, and I have some of Queen Diane’s abilities! I even have the same wolf form! And I am eighteen, the twin girl must definitely be my mother! My birth mother, my real mother...”
