“I missed you too, Dad,” he admits, “And I'm sorry,” he breathes heavily, his words kind of muffled by his father's shoulder.
“Don't be sorry for what happened, shit happens, but I'll accept your apology for avoiding me for four years,” Mateo says before pulling away and giving him a small smile. “Now come on, let's go eat some pancakes,” he continues, clapping his son on the back before leading us into the pack house. The smell of chocolate chips wafts through the air, making my mouth water even more. Peering around, I notice the place is huge, and Mateo leads us to the kitchen where his father, Ezra, is along with Kat.
I stop at the door, I like Kat, but I don't think she likes me. Ezra sets his newspaper aside and Kat looks over at us where she is making coffee, her hair a haystack on her head, and she is wearing silky blue shorts and button – up pajamas.
“Morning,” she mumbles, looking a mess. She pours her coffee when Ezra speaks.
“You won't get much out of her before coffee, she is a real cuntohontus!” Ezra tells me, and Mateo snickers while Kat flips him the finger.
“I am not!” she mocks outrage. Eziah leads me to the table and I sit down, watching as he pecks his father's cheek when Ezra grips his shoulder, stopping him from greeting his mother.
Ezra looks at his son. “Stop avoiding him, that's what hurts him,” Ezra whispers, and Eziah swallows. Ezra nods, cupping his son's cheek before reaching for his paper. Eziah pecks his mother's cheek, then helps with breakfast. It is odd watching him with his family, or maybe I am just not used to normal family interactions.
Eziah sets some pancakes in front of me when Kat finally sits down beside me, she passes me a cup of coffee, and I smile thanking her before she falls heavily into the chair beside me.
“Kyan is on his way,” Katya tells Eziah, who looks at his mother for clarification. But it is Mateo who answers.
“Turns out Satish had a son, and a girlfriend.”
Hearing my brother's name makes me shudder.
“Where are they now?” Eziah questions, looking at me worriedly.
“Did you know?” he asks me, and I shake my head. He turns his attention back to his father.
“Both are dead, but Kyan and Kaif want to go to the Moon Goddess realm to try to figure out how Satish's links to us.”
“Links?” Eziah questions and Kat nods.
“Your father had a mate before me, not technically his mate, more a nudge as Seline put it, she was never actually intended for him but still mate to him by design,” Kat explains.
“I'm not following,” Eziah states.
“I killed her to stop her from hurting your mother. That same mate is Satish's girlfriend and the mother of his son who Casen killed years ago,” Mateo says, and I am just as shocked as he is to hear this.
“Wait, why does that matter?” Eziah asks.
“We think everything is linked, we don't think it is a coincidence that Satish knows so much about this family. We think this goes deeper than we could imagine,” Katya explains.
“So, the Moon Goddess realm?” Eziah asks. Kat nods.
“We want to speak to Bain, find out what he knows. Also enter the fountain of the past, I want to see what we can find,” Katya explains.
“You wanna what?” Eziah blurts, “The fountain, exactly how do you want to enter your golden bird feeder fountains?”
His mother laughs. “Those are fountains yes, but not the fountains, the actual fountains, those you've seen hold what's in the present now. So those souls tied to this realm, their pasts, and mates, their futures, but the actual fountains, are more like an archive. Bain is responsible for guarding the fountain of the past, and now I want to know why,” Katya states.
ChapterSixty-Six
Kaif
After dropping Jonah off with Marabella and the kids at Andrei's Pack, Dominic and I head to Katya's. Today, we are going to the Moon Goddess realm, something I am a little nervous about. Mainly for Kyan, who had to hand over control to me. We aren't sure how he will transition into the Moon Goddess realm, being of Hades' bloodline. In theory, I was created by the Moon Goddess, Celeste, so I should be able to pass through in my form, it just means that Kyan will have the back seat.
“Are you sure this will work?” Dominic asks me, and I am not a hundred percent positive. “Don't you voice that,” Kyan warns me, knowing his father will refuse us to try.
“In theory, I am Celeste's creation, just cursed by Hades,” I tell him, not willing to lie to him like Kyan wishes.
“I don't like this. It's making me nervous knowing I can't go with you. What if you get stuck between realms?” Dominic asks.
