“I know very little about witchcraft and I’m afraid my knowledge on the topic might not be able to help you, not as much as you would want. But I know someone who might be able to provide the answers you seek, or at least help in some way.” Clara proposed.
And from there we moved location again, this time all three of us.
“Park the car here. We’ll go the rest of the way on foot.” Clara instructed.
I did as she asked, putting the car into park and making sure it was secure before we continued the rest of the journey, deep into the woods on foot.
It felt like an unending journey. Deeper and deeper we went, until finally I could see a small cottage up ahead, hidden amongst large trees.
“Her names Sophia. She’s one of the weirdest people you would ever meet but she also has a lot of knowledge, so you might have to bear with her.” Clara said.
When we got to the door, Clara knocked twice on it. I pricked my ears trying to pick the sounds that might come from the room but I was met with nothing. Only an eerie silence came from the house.
“Smith?” Came a small voice and we all whipped her head towards it.
A very petite old woman, dressed in rag clothes was stood behind us with a stick in her hand. I couldn’t exactly get a clear view of her face because she had all her attention turned towards Smith.
“Mom?” Came my Beta’s voice
And for a second it felt like my world spun.
Finally the woman turned towards me and a small gasp escaped my lips. It felt like I was looking at the older version of Freya.
“Y–you’re here? A–all t–this t–time?”
When I saw the first drop of tears fall from my Beta’s face, it felt like a knife had been placed against my chest. Smith was one of the strongest people I know, watching him cry was very far from normal.
“Maybe we should all go inside? Can we go inside Sophia?” Clara asked softly, as if she were afraid of the woman.
Clara nudged me gently inside and I went with her, leaving Smith and Sophia outside. This was the last thing I predicted would happen at a time like this and it confused me.
I could only imagine what would have happened if I had Freya with me. I know that she had been separated and almost abandoned at a young age, so I knew that this reunion would be the last thing she would be looking forward to.
It was a long time before Smith and Sophia were walking into the small living area that was starting to become too small for me. I could see how red and swollen both their eyes were and I just knew that whatever conversation they had just shared wouldn’t be the smoothest.
“Alpha. It’s a honor to have you in my home. She’s been here already, it’s a good thing you came here now instead of waiting for her to strike, if she had, there would be no way to recover from it. She’s a desperate, dangerous woman who would stop at nothing to get what she wants.”

Sophia cut straight to the chase, I knew Smith had briefed her about our coming here.
“Zoe was here?” I asked carefully and Sophia chuckle, a sweet melodious sound that reminded me of Freya.

“She prefers to be called Estel. And yes, she was here. And will be coming back tonight to complete the ritual process. How cruel is life and fate?” She suddenly asked, staring off into the distance.
“I was about to help in the destruction of my own child, once again.” She murmured bitterly, shaking her head in regret.
I moved towards the woman and when I was at her seat, I squatted so I could be at eye level with her.
“There was no way you could have known. Now you have a chance to save her. To save everyone of us. We both know Zoe has bigger plans than just becoming Luna. Help me stop her, please.” I said softly to her.
And when she raised her eyes to mine, the sparkling green of them shocked me, it was scary to look at her and be able to see my mate within her depths.
