The cries and hugs all ended, and it was time to party, In no time a few friends arrived at the pack house to join in the celebration. I remember the witch, Paige, who also attended with her mate and children. Macy’s grandmother and her best friend Lori were also in attendance, everyone welcomed me warmly. All of them were excited to see Daryl. Grace played with the children the entire time, she was clearly so in love with her grandchildren, and with Daryl now in the picture, her joy appeared to be beyond words.”Would the lady please excuse me for a dance?” I veered around only to see Liam standing behind me with his hand stretched out to me. With confusion, I pointed at myself to be certain of his words. “Me?” “Yes, you Elaine, can I have this dance?” I gulped hard merely staring at the fine man in front of me, everyone had gotten to the dance floor that evening except me, obviously. “I doubt that’s a good idea, you should dance with Macy,” I explain.”You do not have to worry since she sent me to you, and also I would love to dance with you. This is your party, after all.”Without hesitation, Liam dragged me to the dance floor, he held me tight against his chest as we moved to the rhythm of the music. I eventually relaxed in his arms and simply let the melody into my heart. No matter how strong I portrayed myself to be, Macy and Liam always got to see the other side of me, ever since my arrival at Waterfall they took good care of me. Their efforts warmed my heart.”I know that you are the Lycan King’s daughter.” I pause, eyes blinking repeatedly as I search his countenance. But Liam pulled me back into our dance.”The Princess who was said to have eloped with her lover, and now your Father seeks you and your child. Princess Elaine.” My lips shivered as I tried to speak yet nothing came out, Liam knew my identity.”How…?” I manage to whisper.”I have my ways, Elaine, I knew something was not right the moment you arrived. You claimed to be a nobody whose Father tossed you out after getting pregnant, yet I still had to find out more about you, which I did.””Liam, I’m sorry I lied about my identity, I just didn’t know whom to trust, please forgive me.” “No need to feel sorry, anyone in your shoes would do the same for their safety.” “I promise to leave at once if my Father ever decides to bring trouble here, I would rather die than let him bring chaos into your home.” “Elaine, you are part of my family now. I might not have been the best brother, but I promise to be the best Uncle to your son, to love and protect you both for as long as I shall live.””But my Father is trouble, I know he would never stop until he finds us and takes my son away.” “Then he should be wise enough to know that I am trouble too. I never back down from a fight Elaine, and trust me I’ll be ready for him when he arrives.” As I sat by the corner of the room alone with a glass of juice in one hand, the conversation with Liam repeatedly replayed in my head, I was lost in my thoughts I failed to notice Macy.”A penny for your thoughts, my friend. What are you doing here all alone? It’s your party, you should be dancing.””I already exhausted myself with your husband, and thank you by the way.” We both laugh at my reply, I pour a glass of juice before handing it over to Macy.”I apologize for hiding my real identity, I promise I did it for my safety.” I begin with tears already threatening to fall from my eyes.”I would be damned if I should judge you for your actions, Elaine you are one of the strongest persons I know, you are a survivor, and trust me survivors have happy endings. You are safe now, Waterfall will protect you at all times.” “Thank you so much.” I hugged her so tight, feeling her warmth, she smelled so good it helped to calm my racing heart down. Gregory danced with the children and Nana all through the night, it was a happy time in our life, I watched my Daryl play and have fun with his cousins; Leo and Mara, they looked so adorable together. The party was almost over when we noticed someone else arriving, Macy was all smiles as walked to the front door to receive this person. It appeared everyone was aware of who this person was except me. I stood by the corner watching intently. Just then a stunning lady dressed in a tight red gown that showcased her curves walks through the door, her presence so opulent she made every eye turn in her direction.”Serai! You made it.” I hear Macy say to the gorgeous woman, they both share a warm hug. Also, Nana and Grace did the same, they adored her, and it made me more curious about who she might be. Paige the witch also greeted her but with so much respect, she also bowed to the woman. Yet amidst all these ongoing salutations her gaze darts in my direction, and she immediately walks towards me. She pulls me into a hug, right in front of everyone. I merely stood there perplexed at this stranger’s action.”I am so glad you look well, Elaine,” she says when she finally lets go. With parted lips, I creased my brow trying to understand what was going on, “Sorry, do I know you?” She only smiled at my question before walking towards Greg who held my Daryl, she took my boy from the Beta and then placed a kiss on his cheek inflating my bewilderment.”Elaine, this is Serai, she is family.” Macy introduced, “I know, Elaine Gunther, daughter of the Lycan King, Vercus Gunther, and the mother of this extraordinary child; Daryl Torres,” she says, she walks up to me after handing back the child to Greg, now a few steps from where I stood.”How do you know all of that?” I found myself asking, “You told me yourself.” She says smiling, My brows furrowed confused, “But I have never met you before, how’s that possible?” “I’ll show you how,” she whispers into my ear after pulling me closer, so close I could feel her breath on her skin. However, the second she pulled away, my jaw dropped and my eyes turned glossy at what I witnessed.”Ana… Ana, you are de.. ad I left you…” my voice breaks, So shocking to believe, but Ana stood right in front of me, the strange woman had transformed into Ana; the only friend I had, the only person who accepted and loved me as hers, the one I left back at the house. She was standing right in front of me. I quickly embraced her tight, as tears rolled down my cheeks at their numbers. I held her so tight, in fear that she might disappear.”How is this possible, I thought…oh my god Ana you’re alive!” I yell the last part. “I have always been alive Laine.” she switches to the gorgeous woman again right in front of me. My body trembles in fright, I had never seen such a thing before. What the hell was happening?”You made it, Elaine, I’m proud of you.” This time, she switched to Granch; the farmer who helped us escape back in the forest. Oh, my! What is this woman? My feet moved back on their own, “What are you?” I asked as anxiety enveloped my body. She instantly switched back to her real self, the stunning young woman gave me an assuring smile.”My name is Serai, and I am the last witch of my kind.” “Witch?” “Yes Elaine, witch. And I came to you in the form of Ana and Granch. You have no idea who you birthed girl,” she says pointing to Daryl. “That child has come to fulfill a great destiny, and I was sent to protect him at all cost.”My Daryl has a destiny to fulfil?
