Chapter 163

Alora’s POV

The wind was nice as it continued to blow on my face and through my hair as I rode in the passenger seat of the Jeep. Sunny was in the back with a book of the Sidhe, this was something my new grandmother had stowed in her library. She had sent it to the Castle after learning what happened to Sunny, said it was something she thought could help Sunny get to know what she was and the history behind that.

The meeting we’d had with grandmother before the Ceremony had been interesting, and tear filled. I came to find out that grandmother, was actually a really good person, when not under the control of black magic. Beatrice seemed to connect with her the most on this point, as she was another who had been controlled by black magic as well. Grandmother explained that, when she wasn’t near her daughters, she was perfectly normal, and was proud of her daughter Galena being a Witches Council Member, and of Stephanie having become a Queen.

When we had stepped into her living room, we had been surprised to see the pictures. The kind most grandmothers who doted on their family had, baby pictures of all her grand children, pictures of their academic achievements, there was even a picture of mom and dad’s wedding, and aunt Galena’s. Grandma hated what she became when she had been around her girls, because it wasn’t her. She said she didn’t know why it took so long to figure out the reason she was acting the way she was. That was why it took her so long to ask for help.

What was really surprising, is that all three woman could have been triplets. Except for a few small differences here or there, mom, grandma and aunt Glena looked very much alike. Golden hair, and golden eyes with their golden skin. She explained to us that one of the reasons the Goldlights were able to split from the Black Magic Coven, was because the Witch that started the bloodline, was in love with a Sidhe. At the time, a relationship between a Coven Witch and Sidhe was forbidden, because the Coven considered them a lesser species and nothing more than slaves.

The Witch became pregnant, and when the girl was born with gold hair and golden eyes, the Coven planed to make the child a sacrifice. They were also going to kill her mate, because a slave was not supposed to breed with a Coven Witch. To protect her daughter and her mate, the Witch, along with several other’s who had forbidden mates, escaped the custody of the Coven. They sought sanctuary with the Heartsongs, and when it came to taking down the Coven, were more than willing, because that meant there would be a future for them, one where they didn’t have to hide.

When we asked Grandma to let me and Damien see the office, the one that belonged to her former husband, she had a grim look. She stood outside the room, looking at it like she wanted to burn it to the ground. “I hate this room, because of it and the person who used to use it….I lost out of the best moments of my children’s lives, I became a monster that tortures my daughters mate….I really hate this room.” her last words had been filled with tears.

When I stepped through the threshold, I felt it. There were still active spells, the Witches Council hadn’t been able to deactivate them all, it took a moment, but I got rid of the ones left behind. Although the taint was now gone, I didn’t think Grandmother will ever be using this room for herself, not with the memories attached to it. Damien and I had looked around, and found a lot of information on the Covens movements and their plans. Her husband had been a high ranking member of/ the Coven, his death had been unexpected.

We found a journal that was about all the accidents within the Moon Mountain Pack that had wiped out a lot of it. Including the older members of the Moonstar Clan. Only we now knew they were no longer accidents, but things the Coven had done, with the help of the Frost and Northmountain Clans. Then we found an older journal, this one dating back to the Pandemic a hundred years ago, it took out nearly half of the Supernaturals, mostly our older generations, and the very young, and billions of humans.

It had been a turning point in our medical history, and a start in working towards a better healthier earth and way of living. It took nearly two years to come up with a vaccine to fight the pandemic. So many died in those two years, and with this journa), I now knew that Pandemic….was created by the Black magic Coven. So many past terrible events had just been clarified with those two books, I didn’t even want to open the rest, but grandma insisted I take them. 14
