We go into Gran's office and she gives me a hug, “First, I'm glad to see you granddaughter.”
I blush, “I am getting used to that fact.”
Gran laughs, “Yes, he should've told you the details first since you aren't a wolf or a shifter.”
Sam murmurs, “It's not like I had a chance to.”
Gran winks at me, “Oh, he did.”
Vincent smirks and teases, “Ah, Wolfie is in trouble!”
Gran turns to Vincent and snaps, “Not so fast! You nearly revealed yourself when she fought Dalton!”
Vincent jokes, “If your mate did that, you would've too, old lady!”
Vlad looks at me asking if this should continue, “Eva?”
“Just let them bury themselves.”
Morgan puts her ears back and yells, “Boys just chill!”
Vincent growls, “One of these days, Morgan!”
Morgan grins as she swishes her tail, “Won't be today! Now Adele Fall, I'm Morgan LaFae.”
Gran’s eyes widen as she looks at me, “Eva?”
“It's true. Raven Lavoux did this and I will fix it.”
Morgan nods, “Yes, Raven cursed me the day of the final battle. I couldn't get my counterspell off in time because I'd sent a blast at a guy trying to kill one of our human helpers, a Hunter. So I did the only thing I could do as a cat, I tried to herd innocents to safety. I also tried to warn others if I saw an attacker. I laid by my love, the White Wolf, as she drew her last breath. I've lived this whole time as you see me now.
My love made me promise to never let evil rule. I believe she saw this day coming to pass. She saw the rise of evil return.”
“Why we now suspect that Raven isn't dead.”
Morgan purrs, “Exactly.”
“Gran, we think she's behind the strange attacks on various beings too. We think she's why they tried to get Steven.”
Gran thinks for a moment and I see a bit of a thought before it fades, “So what's her goal?”
“To become a goddess.”
Gran looks into my eyes, “Well no one can just become a goddess. You must be born one as you were, Eva.”
Morgan nods, “Yes, but Raven thinks that if she acquired the powers of other beings it would make her one and she could become eternal.”
“But she can't just siphon powers!”
Morgan shrugs, “Well we know that, but she obviously doesn't! But if she is able to acquire any additional abilities she could possibly become nearly eternal.”
“I'll kill her before that happens!”
Morgan grins, “You just might have to.”
Vincent takes my hand, “Then we are doing it together. I want that bitch dead too!”
Eric takes my other hand, “Same.”
Sam kisses my cheek as he puts his hands on my shoulders, “Without question.”
Vlad wraps his arms around my waist as he chuckles, “You don't even need to ask!”
Gran looks at us, “Eva?”
I blush, “Oh yeah sorry, Gran Vlad is one of my mates too. My half-sister is back at our castle as well.”
Sam produced a fireball then froze it and then made it disappear, “Oh and we are all gods now!”
Gran jumps back, “Holy shit!”
“Yeah he flies too,” Morgan adds.
Gran laughs, “Here I just thought you were going to tell me that I'm going to be a great grandmother!”
Morgan purrs, “That too.” Then she leans near Gran, “But what's very interesting is who Eva and her sister's father is.”
Gran looks at me and then Morgan, “Who?”
Morgan purrs, “Mormo.”
Gran gasps, “As in the boogeyman!”
Morgan nods, “The very same.”
Gran looks at me and nods, “Well that explains her love of vampires and her darkness within.”
Morgan purrs as she thumps her tail, “It does. We still haven't figured out what her mother is yet. I thought maybe Hathor but now I'm thinking maybe even
older.”
Gran nods, “It is possible.”
Simon comes in without knocking, “Sorry to disturb you but we have got a problem!”
“Then tell me and l'Il take care of it!”
Simon looks around, “Why is Dracula here?”
Sam puts his hand on Vlad’s shoulder as he talks to Simon, “Meet your new brother, brother.”
Simon recoils in shock, “Just fucking how?”
Vincent sighs and rolls his eyes, “Long story, man.”
Sam wipes the grin from his face, “But what's going on?”
Simon sighs, “Dalton…”
My nostrils flare, “Let me guess he switched sides because a pussy promised him the world.”
Simon nods, “Yes.”
I am irritated. I gave that prick a chance and he squandered it. Why can't people be happy with what they have and earn what they want? Nothing is ever free, everything has a price.
