Snow's POV
I've been training for the past three hours trying to clear my head ... Silvia opened a memory of my mom that I thought I had locked away .
I was a coward. I should have stayed with her when she was dying but I ran away thinking the absence of my cursed face will bring her health back but not just like always I was wrong and I regretted not staying by her side when she needed me the most.
I kept punching the bag with so much hate and anger wishing I could just stop thinking about my past. Someone came into the gym but I didn't bother to check who it was for I was in no mood to chit chat with anyone .
"You know fighting with anger is not really going to make the pain fade". The person said.
"It will just make you more angry and frustrated ".
Whoever is talking should stop talking cause I am starting to lose it.
"Will you stop being a coward and face it head on li-.
I didn't let him finish as I punched him in the face, grabbed him by collar and pushed him to the wall.
"Do you know what I've been through? You think you know me huh?"I seethed into his face to which he just smirked at me.
My eyes went red... I slammed his head on my knee repeatedly and I brought his head back up
" the one person that cares about you dies and it's all your fault , you don't wanna make friends or family because you're afraid you'll hurt them. Your supposed father keeps reminding you of the reason your loved one is dead and tortures you for it. you think this is a fairytale huh? cause you got some superpowers and some people that look up to you ... I scoffed. "Well it ain't because in the end they will leave you and when that happens you can face it head on like the so-called Alpha you are" I finished.
He didn't seem to like that as he flings me to side of the room .
"What's the matter Alpha you couldn't handle the truth".
I mocked
He carries me by my neck and starts choking me. What's with the déjà vu this week?
" Does it increase the hurt and pain you feel? " I could barely squeeze out the words.
I plunged my fingers into his eyes,he drops me and turned to leave.
"Coward " I say to him.
He stops in his tracks, shot me a look over his shoulders
"I'm sorry" he mumbled.
With that he turned and left the gym.
After Ivan's unexpected apology. I stopped training and decided to cool down for a few minutes before leaving the gym.
I went to my room happy that I didn't meet anyone on the way. especially Ivan.
I showered and changed into a more comfortable piece of clothing I saw on the bed, went downstairs to the kitchen to meet Honey and Silvia cooking.
just who I was looking for.
" I'm sure you must be hungry after so much training in the gym" she said and I nodded .
Made myself comfortable on one of the kitchen stools and watched her and Honey work their magic.
She brought the spoon to my lips and told me to taste it.
Reluctantly, I did.
"Tastes good" I nodded in satisfaction.
"Your mum taught me this recipe," Silvia said with a smile on her face .
"Can I have some? "
"Of course, I made it specially for you" she whispered into my ear.
*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†
" I'd like to talk to you" I said to Silvia.
she shared a look with Honey before smiling back at me
"Of course, follow me let's talk in my office"
When we got to her office, an incense was burning on the desk where an open blank book is placed.
In the middle of the room is a mini altar where a circle is drawn, in it is a triangle and in every angle, a symbol is drawn. At the opposite side of the room there's a shelf occupied with old rusted books, jars filled with herbs and oils. Beside the shelf on the floor is a kitchen cauldron with a small pestle in it.
She brought me to the middle of the room, sat in the circle, Indian style and ushered me to do the same which I did.
She waved her right hand in the air and a misty globe like those ones you see in Halloween movies appeared in our middle.
I wonder if she has a flying broom.
" No I don't have a flying broom " she said in between laughs. " don't worry, I'll teach you how to block your thoughts from creatures like us.
So now what would you like to know" She asked.
" I'd like to know more about my mother,
Who is she to you?
why did she die?
who my real dad is
What does the mark on my face mean? ... Is it the cause of my mom's death"
I rushed her with the questions I've been meaning to ask since I knew about her relationship with my Mother.
" Let me start from the beginning," She started.
"We witches have what we call a coven in each part of the country, we are not much on the planet because we were almost extinct before the gods created mates for our kind. We call ourselves sisters and brothers because we are all family.
I was in the midst of my sisters one particular evening when I told them the news about my mate expecting them to be happy for me".
Immediately she said that she placed her hands on the globe and I saw the younger version of Silvia in the midst of other beautiful women .... Most importantly I saw my mum looking beautiful, sitting on one of the rocks listening to what Silvia was saying with a smile on her face which almost made me smile. The globe was playing the memories of Silvia like a movie on a round TV.
"I told my sisters about Eric, my mate and how he wants me to come and be Luna in his pack and their moods instantly change. They did not like werewolves because of their possessive and proud nature.
They told me to reject him saying he will only make me his play toy or he will use me to destroy the coven.
I tried to make them understand that the gods made us mates for a reason but instead they told me that I am not allowed to leave the coven for any reason".
The scene on the globe vanished and another scene came on. My mum and Silva were hurriedly packing clothes into a bag .
"Your mother wanted me to be happy and helped me escape with my mate but when the others found out they banished her.
When a sister/brother leaves the coven the bond breaks and every other person feels the pain.
