Chapter 152: Telling them the truth

***SPOILER ALERT FOR THE RUTHLESS ALPHA***

***Authors Note: Sorry I haven’t updated much, I have been exhausted. I’m going on vacation this weekend, so I’m going to try and write enough in advance so you’ll still get updates***

Violet stood nervously in the moon room, she knew this conversation wasn’t going to be an easy one, but it had to happen, she hoped they wouldn’t be too mad, but a part of her in the back of her mind, she didn’t care. She was queen, she was the mother, she made the decisions. They would respect her choices. They didn’t have a choice.

She wasn’t the same weak-minded girl she was before. She was different now, stronger, more determined than ever.

Inside the moon room, Arya casts the spell, placing a blanket of silence over them.

"You may speak freely." Arya said, after she finished casting the spell.

"What’s going, why all the extra measures for privacy and secrecy?" Rosa asked.

"I’ll tell you." Violet answered quickly, she sounded annoyed, ’why else would I bring you here?’ she thought to herself.

"We’ve kept a secret, one, that until now, we couldn’t speak about. We took an oath. We could have done this sooner, but it was a reality I didn’t want to face. I couldn’t face. I don’t have a choice now, the reality I was avoiding found us anyways."

"Do you remember a prophecy we told some of you about?" Violet looked at Lilith, who stood leaning to the side with her arms crossed." And she nodded.

"I will the rest of you now. Before Odette was born. We did a reading with Arya. She the goddess spoke through her and gave us a prophecy,

"Born beneath the Blood Moon’s glow

A gift that was promised long ago.

Of sun and shadow, she is made

Both holy spirit and death’s dark blade

Light in bone and night in breath

She will walk between life and death.

The wolf who lived when all did die.

Will guard the one the gods decry.

Bound to protect or end her breath

Love twisted close with duty’s death

But when the earth begins to quake

And hell beneath the stars shall shake

The Moon Child will stand where fate entwine.

To break the chain or be the bind."

Violet spoke the prophecy without a single breath, and it didn’t strain her.

They all just looked at her with confusion, disbelief, curiosity, and nervousness.

She let the weight of the words she said settle in for a moment before she continued.

"We were planning to tell you guys after the wedding and coronation, but with what happened after. The time was never made to tell you. Then life started moving forward, and we hoped that it wasn’t real, we pretended it wasn’t real, but we prepared for the possibility with her excessive training. It’s why her schedule has been so diligently managed."

"So, what does this all mean for us? For Odette?" Jeremy asked. His voice aggravated but masked by indifference.

"It means there’s a battle and Odette stands at the front of it."

"The MoonChild? That’s Odette?"

"Yes, she is also the reincarnated daughter of Artemis. Remember how Riley died?" Violet mentions.

"Yes, you burned the little prick alive." Jeremy answered proudly a devilish grin reached his cheeks.

"I didn’t. Odette did. She was blessed by Artemis with her special ability Divine Fyre. She spoke through me and took over my body. She killed Riley, defending me." Violet confessed.

"We binded her once she was born, it’s why her gifts came in so late and so slowly. Because we sealed her. She was capable of so much so young. It was for everyone’s safety she learned patience and discipline. She would need to be fit and skilled to manage so much power. We made her strong enough to bare the effects of her abilities. We couldn’t have a child running around that’s capable of burning someone’s soul for eternity." Ash tells the group.

"Why did you keep it a secret for 18 years?" Oliver asked.

"She already answered that, Oliver. Ask a relevant question." Lilith snapped.

"Why are you being so cranky right now?" Oliver remarked.

Lilith scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Like I said, Oliver. Life moved forward, and before we knew it, time went by fast." Violet said annoyed with answering this a third time.

"So, to make sure I understand. My granddaughter is the daughter of a goddess, and destined to fight in some battle with an evil entity of unknown origin?" Vladimir spoke up.

"Yes. And now that she’s gone, everything we’ve worked for, it’s tumbling. She can’t train if she’s been kidnapped." Ash growled.

"What if the wolves that kidnapped her is in league with this evil entity?" Vlad asked.

"Finally, a good question!" Lilith applauded. Half joking.

"We don’t know, but we contacted the goddess recently and said her protector would be coming for her soon. We can only hope to find them and bring them back." Arya interjected. "She told us that and that Odette was to the east. In the snowy mountains."

Everyone looked conflicted with her mention of that. Anywhere passed Romania is shifter territory. And the King was a wolf shifter. A powerful one. And rumored to have a massive and powerful wolf.

Ash new exactly who the Alpha King was. Ambrose Romanoff. The son of the man who hurt his wife, and almost hurt Odette.

Ash still remembers the smell of him all over Violet. And it made his stomach curl.

Violet felt the shift, and though she found his heat to be extremely attractive, she didn’t want him to do something he’d regret once he cooled down.

She took hold of his hand, turned to face him and rested her other hand on his chest.

Feeling her touch, soothed him. She didn’t have to use her powers or speak to do it She could do it just by breathing in their shared space.

Ash cooled down, and even though he wasn’t angry at anyone in the room, she was right to calm him down.

He got even, and he settled the score in the eyes of war and the council.

"Sorry, I got a little angry when I remembered that Violet was taken by that kids father him and his bastard of a brother." Ash admitted.

"What if it is the Alpha King that has her?" Lilith asked.

"They give her back or we’ll go to war." Violet growled. her face fresh with rage.

The whole room still not used to Violet’s new persona, just stared in horror.

She really has changed.
