Unlocked Memories
I talked to her and try to help her mind find peace, so she is not stressing out on such atrocities.
“I am here mostly for this year, it was my fathers agreement, I could try normal college before he sends me to the Alpha Academy. Everything I don’t finish here; I will learn there. I am majoring in Computer Science and Software Engineering. My father owns a prosperous business, he is hoping that I come to work for him when I am finished with Alpha training.”
“I have never heard of this “Alpha Academy?”” She tells me which surprises me since most Alpha’s train there.
“I do know about Alpha Arts? I have heard Alpha Lucius talking about sending Travis there”
“Alpha Arts?” I asked her quizzically, if it’s what I think she is talking about, we are in deep trouble. That place, though it was under a different name is a dark legend. Alpha’s a millennia ago would go there to learn magic, there used to be some good Alpha’s that would learn from witches there, they would learn spells to protect their people. However, it was said have been destroyed because, a evil Alpha took over the legion, killed all the good witches, killed the good Alpha through poisonings, and started to train Alpha’s in dark magic. Dark witches were recruited and started trying to corrupt the Alpha’s who wanted to train there. I lie to her cause, I am not sure if it’s true.
“I have never heard of this place; I will have in inquire about it”
She smiles at me, and suggests I meet Alpha Travis if I want to learn more. I smile at her and thank her for the information. We continue sitting through class. At the end of it, I remember to mention the party.
“Say, Minerva, I am new around here, I do not know many people but, my father bought me a condo close to here. Would you be able to help me organize a party?” I ask her. I watch as her eyes light up. She eyes me with a new gleaming look. “You must be really rich, even Alph Lucius never did that for Travis, he just told him to attend school but, not to expect any special treatment. I overheard them talking.” She tells me. Hearing that, I am stunned, Lucius must not even love Travis if he’s not willing to dote on his only son.
“That’s too bad to hear cause, I know my father loves doting on me and my younger siblings. My mother Luna Raven, fawns over us like we’re precious gems.” She smiles and gives an “awe!” at my words.
“That’s how all mothers should be. I remember mine being that way, my real mother, I was adopted at a young age. I remember glimpses of her, she was amazing, I am not allowed to speak of her though, I remember my adoptive mother telling me that it’s not safe for some reason.” She says as she eyes the classroom warily.
“Well, that’s too bad, my mother loves everyone in her pack. I think it’s the doctor in her, she was originally a doctor in a different pack before she found my father who was her mate. Now, she’s Luna but, she still cares for everyone and loves everyone like they’re her children.”
“That’s sweet. Can I ask what she looks like?” She asks me. I show her a picture of me and my family. Suddenly, as if I unlocked something, her mind is thrown back into a past I can see her trying to make sense of. She is seeing my mother, giving her and another little girl who I can recognize as Tabitha. My mother is giving them hugs, reading them stories and tucking them into bed. Verona walks in the room and joins in with the stories. Verona is making funny noises. The girls laugh. A boy that looks around nine years old walks in, gives them hugs. Verona says “alright little bro, you should be in bed, tomorrow is my engagement party, we need to get sleep. Good night, Mina, goodnight, Tabitha.” Both twins say goodnight to Verona and say, “goodnight aunt Raven.” The girls look about two years old.
So, if I am seeing right, it would be a year or a two years later, somewhere in there the slaughter happens. Cause, my mate came to our pack when she was four years old. So, two years later, their family dies. They look so happy, and healthy. They had an older brother who either was killed in his sleep right away or died trying to protect them. Cause since I am looking at a nine-year-old boy in her memories, when it happened, he would have been a preteen. Almost age to become Alpha. If this family had a strong Alpha blood, they would have taken him out first as the heir, he would be strong, but not strong enough to stand against a full-grown Dark Alpha like Sinclaire.
