Morgan looks at Elena, “Pick me up so that I can see your story.”
I look at her confused, “Morgan?”
Morgan purrs, “I, like you Eva, can see people's pasts and futures in addition to feeling energy.” She examines Elena, “She's still a bit bound. You only partially freed her.”
“How do you know?”
Morgan grins, “I feel power not just energy. It is how I finally found you. I kept feeling fluctuations in both your energy type and the strength of your power. I can't glean your memories or thoughts,” she cocks her head, “I can't your mates either but I can from others in this room.”
“Why not me or my mates?”
Morgan swishes her tail, “Well I can't because they've been transformed just as you have been. However, your sister is still mostly human, just a hybrid as she hasn't been transformed. Maybe once she fully accepts her mate, she might transform slightly. You, Eva, never were biologically human but your spirit identifies with them. It's remarkable really.”
Vlad huffs as he addresses Morgan, “But I could read her mind a bit depending on how hard she blocked me.”
Morgan rolls her eyes, “Because you're her mate, your dumbass just didn't realize it at first! No others can read her especially now that she's coming into her own either.”
“Does what I am explain why I can hear other wolf packs besides my own?”
Morgan’s eyes widened, “What?”
Sam pets Morgan, “Upon arrival, Eva knew how many packs were present and even their moods and that was before she became our Luna.”
Morgan rubs her head into Sam’s hand, “Then after she heard all.” I nod. She purrs, “Interesting. What of the vampires?”
Katie giggles, “She has a type!”
“Do not!” I yell.
Katie shrugs, “None were extroverts even those that had a small group of friends. All are or were the tall, dark, and dreamy type. Even Victor who was a controlling, abusive, arrogant prick fit her type.”
Morgan hops on my lap, “My curiosity is piqued. What was Victor's last name and what became of him?”
“Van Clay.”
Eric adds because he can sense my shift in mood, “We executed him and his group.”
Morgan looks into my eyes, “Well the Van Clays go way back in Europe much like the Warren's, Stewart's, and Bennet's. Eva, did you ever meet any of his elders?”
“No.”
Morgan cocks her head, “Would you have known?”
I sigh, “Before I turned 25 I'd get feelings about people, afterwards I could see their pasts, presents, and futures by way of their essence. I learned to trust it not long before I met my mates and now you.”
Morgan gives me a toothy grin, “A true keeper!”
I look at her urging her to explain. Morgan licks my cheek, “Keeper of Souls, Eva. It's rare, very rare as no Terrestrial beings can do it without the aid of magic. Your mother probably wasn't even of this realm!”
Katie asks, “Like an alien?”
Morgan laughs her purr-filled laugh, “How humans would explain things like Fae, Gods, angels, demons, etc. Exploring Elena's abilities will help us figure out what your father was or is too.”
“You think he might be alive?”
Morgan nods, “It's possible. Did you ever see proof that your family was dead?”
“No just what I was told at the orphanage as a kid.”
Morgan grins, “Well then we have a mystery to solve, don't we?”
I pet her as I return her smile, “Yes.”
Sam walks up to Morgan, “Another thing, what do you know about this book?” He places the book I summoned before we ported the castle on the table in front of Morgan.
Morgan runs her paw over it, “Ah nusus haram amun. Amun's Pyramid Texts.”
I touched the book, “I was in Vlad's archives. I did a spell asking for guidance and this book came to me.”
Morgan nods as she explains, “The Pyramid Texts are the oldest ancient Egyptian funerary texts, dating to the late Old Kingdom. They are the earliest known corpus of ancient Egyptian religious texts. It's a book about their gods and spells. This book here contains the coffin texts and some information from the Book of the Dead Scrolls. The Coffin Texts (c. 2134-2040 BCE) are 1,185 spells, incantations, and other forms of religious writing inscribed on coffins to help the deceased navigate the afterlife. The spells, or utterances, of the Pyramid Texts were primarily concerned with enabling the transformation of the deceased into an Akh (where those judged worthy could mix with the gods). The spells in the book of the dead were written down to help the person named in the
papyrus to pass safely through any difficult or dangerous situations in the afterlife. You Eva are both life and
death. You'll decide who gets an afterlife it seems.”
Vincent looks at me in awe, “So when you joked that you were the goddess Themis you weren't far off.”
Morgan’s eyes widened, “When was this?”
“Just days after meeting us,” Vincent tells her.
Morgan hits Artemis with her tail, “Well Artemis you need to start writing this prophecy! Eva you could embody Hathor or even an unknown goddess!”
“Who was Hathor?”
Morgan curls up on my lap, “Hathor was mother goddess who created and maintained all life on earth, she was also worshiped as goddess of the sky, fertility, music, and dance and as the symbolic mother of the pharaoh, or ruler. The Egyptians associated the goddess with sexual love, and her festivals included singing, dancing, and drunken ceremonies. Isis was called the mother of all gods but many believe Hathor came before so she's the true mother. Also she possessed a special ability. Amokinesis: As the goddess
of love, Hathor possesses the ability to manipulate any man or woman, whether they be mortal, god or beast to do her bidding. When she uses such an ability, her eyes will glow a brief gold and she will say ‘I command you’.”
Katie says to Morgan, “Her eyes do flash different colors depending on what she's about to do.”
Vincent smirks, “But she can't command us and she never speaks it like that. Just an order or a thought is all she gives.”
Morgan grins as she purrs loudly, “Why you're her mates!”
Katie asks, “Are we still going to Egypt?”
I look at Morgan and she nods, “It could be beneficial as you might acquire additional abilities or we might find a trail to your family.”
I look at my mates before I look at Katie, “Well after this last full moon of this Haze we will go.”
Morgan grins as she looks at Elena, “Now as for you little witch, have a gauntlet for you to complete!”
Elena gasps, “Gauntlet!”
Morgan nods, “I'm going to put you to the test to see what all abilities you possess. We will start early tomorrow!”
—Katie’s POV——-
This is all amazing! Eva and I went from only having each other to having this huge family nearly overnight. She can say that the Haze makes her be pulled to the guys all she wants, but I know better. I saw her light up while talking to Vincent at that masquerade. I also saw her blush talking to Sam that night. Eric, I could see the want in his eyes but he was hesitant to reveal it. Then there's Vlad. He wanted her badly the moment he laid his eyes on her. When she defied him, I was surprised that he didn't rip her clothes off and fuck her! All of these men loved her instantly and I'm pretty sure that she did them too!
However, they are up to something and I will find out what! Sam got away without a proper wedding too and I will be damned if I allow the others to do so! Morgan got me thinking earlier too. She's assuming that Eva is a goddess of the light, what if she's darker than any of us realize?
