“Are we family?” was the first question that escaped my lips, and Ummul nodded and looked at her daughter. She sighed and seemed reluctant to speak but then decided to do so. Ummul held my hand tightly and pleaded with me to sit next to her. Mike brought me a chair, and I sat beside her, still holding my hands. 

“My mother is your grandmother’s younger sister. It is your grandfather that is from Eastwood. Your grandmother is from Neev. That is where you get your thick dark hair and beard from,” Amirah said, and I was surprised at her words

“I can’t believe you are my family,” I said, and she nodded. 

“Then why did you abandon me when my mother died. Did you know the horror I went through in Stacy’s hands ?” I asked Ummul, and tears began to fall from her eyes again.

We knew the Moons had fallen on hard times financially then, and we suspected Aesop was only after Chloe because she was a Renshaw. Renshaws owned the Eastwood pack, and your mother was the next in line for the Alpha position. She was a powerful one too. She was smitten by Aesop, and they eloped. The Renshaws were angry but soon accepted because the Moon bloodline was the most prestigious. Their union made it possible for the Moons to take over Eastwood and

After five years of trying, Chloe gave up and told Aesop to get a surrogate that would carry their child because she ovulated but never conceived. According to your mother, he was reluctant but soon gave in. They did not want anyone to know what they were doing, so they came to Neev to find Dome women willing to do the job. They would have gone to Dome, but it wasn’t a safe place and did not have good hospitals. My mother and I lived in Neev then, and when we found out what they had come to do, she kicked against it.

So she stayed on. When she found out she was having a boy, she changed the name on her account and company shares to Luke Moon. She said she wanted to name her son after her father so her father’s name would not die.
