To my surprise, Rolin’s voice had a smile in it, “Don’t worry, she wasn’t bullied. Just the opposite, she was brave enough to defend herself.”
The call ended abruptly, leaving me feeling frustrated and helpless.
or the next week, my life was consumed by the search for Elizabeth.
My attempts to reach her were futile–my calls went unanswered, and my mind link was rejected repeatedly.
I even went to the piano shop, but I was told Elizabeth and Rolin had been out of town for
days.
The realization that our relationship might end over this was a bitter pill to swallow.
The thought that I might see her next at the Council of Wolves was almost unbearable.
On a special holiday, I decided to visit my mother, hoping some clarity might come from it.
My mother lived in a suburban villa, having severed ties with the werewolf world after my father rejected her.
My mother, Caroline, was not the last Luna but had been my father’s mate before he chose a different path.
After my father’s rejection, she had left the werewolf community, heartbroken and disillusioned.
Pregnant with me, she had come to the human world alone, seeking refuge and raising me in a world that was both foreign and isolating.
She had kept her distance from the pack, choosing to live a quiet life away from the complexities of our world.
Over the years, I visited her occasionally, when my duties allowed.
Her home was a serene villa, a stark contrast to the chaotic life I led.

Despite the distance between us, she remained a touchstone, a reminder of the life I might have had if things had been different.

But as I stepped closer, I heard a voice that made me freeze in my tracks.
was unmistakably Elizabeth’s.
My heart skipped a beat as I pushed open the door and stepped inside.
The villa’s interior was as calm and inviting as ever, but the sound of Elizabeth’s
voice–clear and distressed–cut through the tranquility.
I followed the sound, a mixture of hope and anxiety swirling in my chest, as I made my way
through the villa towards the source of the voice.
Elizabeth’s POV
The comforting aroma of hot cocoa filled the room as Caroline handed me a steaming cup.
I took a sip, savoring the familiar warmth that seemed to melt away the pain from my
recent ordeal.
The cocoa tasted the same as it did when I was a child, a small but significant reminder of a
time when life felt simpler.
As I sipped the cocoa, memories of my past flooded back.
I had fled to the human world as a young girl, escaping the abuse and hostility from my
family.

I was nearly dead from dehydration and starvation when Caroline had found me by the
side of the road.
Her kindness had been a beacon of hope in my darkest days.
She had taken me in, provided me with food and comfort, and tended to my injuries with a motherly tenderness that I had desperately needed.

Caroline’s home had been a haven for me, a brief respite from my troubled past.
Though my time there was cut short, and I was eventually taken back, her influence had
been profound.
She was like a real mother to me, and I made it a point to visit her whenever I could.
Caroline, with her usual warmth, enquired about my life.
carefully avoided mentioning my injury, opting instead to share the good news about the success of my latest piece on the internet.
“That’s wonderful to hear, dear,” Caroline said, her eyes twinkling with pride. “I’m so happy
for you.”
Rolin had recently informed me that Ethan Winter, the renowned piano virtuoso, was eager
to meet me after his world tour.
The prospect of finally meeting my idol was exhilarating.
Caroline’s surprise and joy at the news were evident.
“Oh, how wonderful!” Caroline exclaimed. “You’ve always dreamed of being a renowned pianist. It’s so nice to see your dreams coming true.”
As we chatted, Caroline had her cell phone playing a song I had composed.
She looked genuinely surprised.
“My son really likes your tune, he plays it a lot when he comes to my place.”
I was taken aback.
I had never imagined that Caroline’s son, whom I had never met, would be a fan.
Caroline had mentioned that she had been betrayed by her husband and that her son was raised away from her.
She occasionally saw him when he visited, but I had never encountered him.
