Chapter 104: copy and paste

Diana’s pov

“mother lets hurry up, we just need to get there and buy a few things” Meghan said, and I just shrugged.

I know I haven’t been the same ever since Reene left.

We looked for her but there was no trace of her at all.

My oldest daughter had disappeared, and then since then Meghan had to step up.

I know it was hard for her since her father and I couldn’t cope with the loss of our daughter.

I nodded and she gave me a huge smile and her eyes landed on her son.

“take care of grandfather, we will be back” she said and then I said goodbye to my grandson.

Meghan has two kids, a boy, and a girl, I love them more than anything.

But sometimes when I look at them I feel this great sadness inside me.

I know that when Reene left she was pregnant at the time.

So, looking at my grandkids filled me with a lot of questions about my daughter.

She was so young when she left, how could she raise a child all on her own.

I know what happened, after a few months of looking into it everything led us back to Cara Hale.

That bitch was the reason my daughter had to disappear off the face of the earth.

But there is nothing we could have done about it at the time.

I couldn’t bare to look at her face or the faces of anyone related to her.

My family left the council and we secluded ourselves from the world that took my precious daughter away.

“its her birthday in a week” Meghan said as she was driving, and I knew who she was talking about.

Reene loved celebrating her birthday, she made sure that everyone was aware of it.

She would constantly remind everyone that her birthday was coming.

Meghan told me after Reene disappeared the whole reason her sister loved her birthdays.

Because she getting older meant she would find her mate and then have a family.

She must have been hurting wherever she is because she had to leave her mate behind.

We looked for her, she broke the bond that she and Joseph had which isn’t something I think is possible.

That alone led a lot of people to believe that wherever she was she was dead.

But I couldn’t believe it at all, my daughter was still alive, and I knew it in my heart.

But about 2 years ago I heard her voice after a very long time.

I heard her say goodbye and now I know in my heart that my daughter is dead.

It felt like I was losing her all over again, I felt so helpless, but we are not anymore.

Meghan has been a great Alpha;

she has helped our pack get stronger and we have grown with time.

Because we have isolated ourselves outsiders don’t know the extent we have grown now.

No matter what, before I draw my last breathe in this world I will make Cara regret what she did.

The last 20 years I have spent it looking for ways to bring her down.

I just need one chance and with that one blow I will destroy her no matter what.

Because of her my daughter died alone in the middle of nowhere.

I heard the fear and pain in her voice as she said goodbye. Cara will pay for that, how dare she hurt a mother?

I will make sure that her voice has more pain and fear than my daughter’s voice.

We got to the mall and started shopping around for Reene’s birthday.

Although it hurts we celebrate her birthday no matter what.

Because I know that she would have wanted us to celebrate her birthday.

I know that she is up there looking at us and smiling knowing we still remember her.

I also know that her soul wont completely be in peace unless she gets her revenge.

She needs to get the justice that has been deprived from her for decades now.

We started shopping and I heard a voice laugh and it sounded so familiar.

It actually felt like de ja vu, but I looked around and I couldn’t find those to whom it belonged.

But someone caught my eye, she was walking away and the way she walked reminded me of Reene.

She also had dark hair, just that hers was shorter but it was rich.

Reene was always proud of her long dark hair and blue eyes.

Always bragged how they are her best features and make her the most beautiful girl in the world.

I miss her, I hope that no parent out here will ever lose a child the way we did.

Its honestly the most painful thing a parent can ever go through.

I know it changed my husband and I, Meghan also changed because her older sister was gone.

She had to grow up faster than she intended in order to take on the role of being the pack leader.

My husband and I tried holding out for as long as we could and help her grow.

We had hope that even after everything that happened she would still have a somewhat normal childhood.

But we underestimated the bond between siblings and how unique and special it is.

I think it hit Meghan the most, she tried hiding it for our sakes, but you could tell that she was lonely.

Luckly she met her mate and he helped her get through the darkest times for her life.

We kept on shopping and went to get a cake when I heard that voice again.

“a cake, whose birthday is it?” one of the cashiers asked a girl.

She has short black hair, “my mother, she is dead, and I realized we never really celebrated her birthday” she replied.

“sorry to hear that” the cashier said, and the girl just shrugged.

My heart started beating like crazy, I know it’s a really long short, but I don’t want to regret anything ever again.

For so long I beat myself up for not realizing that my daughter was I trouble.

So, I never want to feel that feeling of regret.

So as loud as I could I called out, “Grace” I said and just like that the girl stopped.

Meghan who was standing next to me looked at me confused and the girl turned around.

It is as if I went back in time, she looked around and then her eyes turned on me and they also went wide. As if she somehow recognized me, but she kept her calm as if she didn’t want to get too excited for some reason.

a hybrid huh?

Her scent was faint but now that I am looking at her and paying attention to her scent I can feel it.

the mall has a lot of people, so scents tend to be mixed and confusing, so we don’t pay that much attention.

I would recognise her anywhere; her eyes are exactly like Reene’s eyes and her black hair.

She looked at me, “Diana Brown?” she asked and then her eyes landed on Meghan.

“Meghan Brown?,” it sounded like a questions but wasn’t one.

What do they calls those?

Huh rhetorical, it was a rhetorical question.

I was frozen in place and Meghan spoke up, “is your name Grace?” she asked the girl who nodded.

“yes, are you Meghan and Diana??” the girl asked back and my daughter nodded.

I just started sobbing and Meghan as well just started crying looking at the carbon copy of my daughter.

It was as if the moon goddess just copied and then pasted, she looks exactly like Reene.

“its nice to officially met you Grand ma and Aunt Meghan, I have been meaning to come and visit. We have a lot to talk about” she said, and I just ran to her.

I hugged her as hard as I could and after some time I heard her join me in my sobs.

What are the odds?

I don’t need DNA testing to know that she is my granddaughter.

Meghan joined the hug as well and we just standing there crying our hearts out.

I bet people were looking at us like we were a crazy bunch just standing there and crying.

But I don’t care at all, who would care in such a situation?

I have found Grace, the daughter my Reene left behind and she has grown into a beautiful woman like her mother.

Like I said at the very beginning, its as if the moon goddess asked herself a question.

Why fix something that is not broke?

So instead, she just copied and pasted and created another masterpiece.

Even her warmth, her scent was so welcoming that she smelled like Reene.

Always smelt like lavender, so coming and at times so subtle that its actually peaceful.

I found my granddaughter?

The moon goddess, is this your way of asking for forgiveness?

Is this your way of mending my broken heart before I leave this world??
