Page 176 of His Sunshine Baby

“Damian doesn’t know, Elena. This is bad… Well, there has been some good news too I need to tell you about. Do you remember the Blue Moon clan?”

“Yeah, I have a bit of news too.”

I tell her most of what Reagan said, except that I decide to leave my mentor’s own story out of it. She’s been through a lot already.

“… and our parents were killed, though I don’t know exactly by whom. We only have… suppositions for now. But do you realize? Your mom’s name was Lilyan, and my dad was…”

“Gabriel! Elena, I know all this! How did you find out?”

I frown, surprised.

“How did you find out? Nora, I learned all this only yesterday, how could you uncover so much?”

“The Blue Moon clan! They’re still alive! I mean, not the main clan, but… Do you remember how Queen Cynthia left for the south and never came back?”

“Yeah, she disappeared about… fifty years ago?”

“She ended up here, Elena! The Sapphire Moon clan is Queen Cynthia’s pack! They settled here, but never were never able to reach out to Queen Diane until it was too late! They went so far south that they lost contact, but they are here. William Blue, the Alpha of the Sapphire Moon, is our cousin too!”

Holy Moon Goddess. I sit back on my chair, stunned.

They are alive. A part of our family is alive! Moon Goddess, I never imagined… I turn to Daniel, still so shaken up I can barely believe it.

“Babe? You alright?”

I explain to him in a few words before reaching out to Nora again.

“Nora, are you sure? William Blue?”

“William Blue, Elena! I talked to him yesterday, he told me so much. I even saw a portrait of our grandmother, Queen Diane! She looks a lot like me, by the way. How about you?”

“Nora, I learned about my mom too. Why I don’t look like you, and why I’m not fully Royal. My mom was human.”

“Human…? Oh Moon Goddess, it does explain a lot! That’s why… Oh gosh, Elena! You have to meet with William, let him know about you!”

“NO!”

Damn, I screamed out loud too. Danny jumped and spilled his coffee. I whisper a sorry to him before taking a deep breath in and talking to Nora again.

“Nora, I can’t. For now. It’s better if very few people know about our link, okay? I’m in a bit of a situation. I want my real identity to stay as concealed as possible, please. I’m not saying I don’t want to meet the Sapphire Moon, but…”

“I understand, Elena. It’s about the baby, is it? Okay, how about you come here? I have an idea on how to protect everyone from this Dark Witch, but I’ll need your help. And you need to talk to Nate too, right? He’s… missing you. A lot.”

I take a deep breath in. Going to the Blood Moon territory again? I have Nora and Nate’s permission, and anyway, there’s nothing more Clark can’t blame me for now.

“Elena, can I tell Damian about us, at least? He’s my mate, I don’t want to hide things from him.”

“Alright, Nora, but promise me you won’t tell Nate. I need to talk to him myself.”

“I promise. Come to Damian’s building. You know which one, right?”

“Yeah. I’ll see you there.”

I take a deep breath and turn to Daniel, who’s been waiting for me. I explain my conversation with Nora in detail, and he nods.

“I guess it’s time, babe, huh?”

I nod.
