Chapter 0222

“Wait?! Osiston? As in Warrior Osiston, is your cousin and my uncle cousin or whatever” | feel like

my brain is tuming to mush with all the new information. "| may need a map for the family tree we

have going right now and you have only told me about like five people.” ° He chuckles, “| promise

there aren't too many more players to introduce you to, but understanding who's in the game may

save your life in the future.” | give a dry chuckle, but the serious look on his face tells me this is one

of those things | really need to take in and understand, there are no jokes here. | took a deep breath

and nodded, indicating he could go on.

“Thomas taught his son and daughter our history, like the Goddess instructed, he ruled fairly and

encouraged his son and daughter to both pursue their strengths. But the animosity and hate were

being perpetuated on the other side of the family tree. Robert eventually found his mate and had a

son, Vincent, and together they have pursued deeper into our lineage than even | have. Any female

with our bloodline is being captured and tortured for their special abilities. Another reason for finding

you and bringing you here. But I will get to that in a minute.

“Thomas sister, Katherine, did the same thing. She instilled in her kids to take care of our world,

protect our people,

especially with humans on the rise. She had three kids, a son and twin daughters. While Katherine,

her mate, her kids and their mates were out training on the territory there was an attack. They were

all older and well trained, but the attackers used all manner of weapons including drugs like liquid

wolfsbane, so even the special abilities they possessed amongst them didn't help. Everyone was

killed except Claire, one of the twins. Her mate died that day, but rumor has it she was pregnant.

She went into hiding, no one here had any record of it, but someone had to have helped her

escape. | was able to finally track the Elder down and follow some leads. She had a daughter,

named Sophia, who settled with her mate as the Betas of the Blue Crescent pack, and had you."

He reached forward and wiped my cheek. | hadn't realized tears were falling down my face.

“You come from a very long line of fierce female warriors.

Leaders who are hard pressed to be taken down. | don't know much about Claire’s time away from

the Royal Pack.

She used different names to keep her identity hidden for her safety and the safety of her unborn

pup. But | do know that she was heavily pursued by the bitter half of our family line.

As | started really tracking her movements, | noticed a pattern of attacks that surrounded where she

was rumored to be. Once | found that pattern, it got a little easier. | just wish | could have found her

trail sooner, you may still have your mom, if | had.” He hung his head like my mom's death was his

fault.

“She died in childbirth, you could not have any control over that.” | said to him “That is not entirely

true, and many people would not want you to know this part of your story, but it's important. With all

of the abilities that our first born females have, child rearing can be dangerous for them. They

actually cannot procreate with anyone other than their Goddess given mate. You don't want details,

but the other half has tried.” | shuddered at the implications there. “They must be heavily watched

when pregnant and in labor and their wolves must be kept calm and under control. Not an easy

task.
