Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

The cookies were almost gone when my phone rang. I jumped as I had been waiting for it and was on edge. I picked it up

and saw someone was calling on FaceTime. I looked at Finlay. He smiled and took my free hand. I answered and my heart

did a double take when I saw my mom and dad. They were in my dad’s office, it looked just like it used to, back when I

last had seen it. My mom was in my dad’s lap and it made me happy to see they still acted like newly mated. They looked

a little older. My mom had fine lines around her eyes and my dad had some grey strands in his hair.

“Armeria.” It sounded like a breath that escaped from my mom.

“Hi mom. Hi dad,” I said. I felt myself tear up, and Finlay squeezed my hand.

“Hi, pumpkin. You have grown up,” my dad said. I smiled despite the tears in my eyes.

“I guess I have,” I admitted.

“You look beautiful,” my mom told me.

“Thank you mom. I guess I have good genes.” My dad chuckled.

“That you do, pumpkin. Thank the goddess you got all from your mother,” he said. My mom laughed and hit him jokingly

on the chest. As I watched them, I could see some of the things I did to Finlay.

“Tell me everything,” my mom said.

“Everything?” I asked.

“Everything that has happened since I last saw you,” she clarified. I laughed.

“Mom, that was ten years ago,” I objected.

“Well, then it’s best if you start talking,” she said. I started telling them about the last ten years in broad strokes. I

skipped over most of the four years I lived in the human world, just mentioning it briefly. Then I got to Finlay and my

pack and how I got my wolf. My mom had tears in her eyes when I told them that my wolf had come to me. “She is

bright red,” I told them.

“Oh goddess, I have never heard of a red wolf. Mine is more blond than red,” my mother said.

“She is one of a kind. And she is big, almost as big as my Alpha’s wolf, and that is the biggest one I have ever seen,” I

told them.
