"Mia waited until Elias had left before turning to her brother, Chad, her heart heavy with the burden of the truth she was about to reveal. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for his reaction.
"Chad, there's something else you need to know," Mia began, her voice low but steady. "Our grandmother's return is not without its dangers. She's not the kind, loving grandmother we remember. She's a powerful witch, and there's a threat that comes with her. We must avoid her at all costs."
Chad's eyes widened in alarm, his concern evident. "What kind of threat?" he asked, his voice tinged with worry.
Mia took a moment before continuing, choosing her words carefully. "Chad, remember when you used to tell me stories about Mom? About how she was the only white wolf before she died, and how she was the holder of an element?" she inquired, her voice heavy with the weight of the truth.
Chad's eyes widened in shock, the gravity of the situation sinking in. "So, that's why our family was targeted," he murmured, his voice filled with realization.
Mia nodded, her gaze steady as she met her brother's eyes. "Yes, that's why. And that's why I have to avoid her at all costs. I can't let her get her hands on me," she said, her voice firm with determination.
Chad's expression softened, a sense of protectiveness washing over him. "Mia, I promise to help protect you, no matter the cost," he vowed, his voice filled with sincerity.
Amber , Chad's Luna, nodded in agreement. "We'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe," she added, her voice filled with determination.
Mia's eyes filled with tears at the show of support from her brother and his mate. "Thank you, both of you. Your support means everything to me," she said, her voice choked with emotion.
Chad hesitated for a moment before speaking again, his expression grave. "Mia, I remember Mom always saying never to let you travel to the spirit world as long as our grandmother was there," he recalled, his voice tinged with concern.
Mia's brows furrowed in confusion. "The spirit world? People can actually travel there?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.
Chad nodded solemnly. "Yes, they can. They go to the Great Tree of Knowledge. But getting there is no small risk," he explained, his voice tinged with caution.
Mia's mind raced with this new information. She was the last white wolf, a bearer of all the 4 elements. She now understood the danger she was in and the importance of keeping her heritage a secret.
Her thoughts turned to Alpha Blake. She mind-linked him, seeking his guidance. "Blake, is it fine if I tell Chad that I am the last white wolf?" she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty.
Blake's response was swift and reassuring. "Not yet. Let's keep an eye on him first and see how our relationship grows," he replied, his voice calm and steady.
Mia nodded in understanding, grateful for his guidance. She turned back to Chad, a sense of determination in her gaze. "Chad, there's more I need to tell you," she began, her voice firm. "Grandma is back in our world and wants the elements that lay adamant within me, and if she gets her hands on them, then the balance between our world and the spirit would shift."
Chad's eyes widened in shock, his mind reeling with the revelation. "Grandma's back?" he whispered, his voice filled with astonishment.
Mia took a deep breath, the weight of her heritage settling heavily upon her. "Yes, grandma. But as you can see, you... you got your black colour from Dad. That's why your wolf is a mix of white and black."
Chad stared at his sister, a mix of awe and realization dawning on him. "Mia, I... I don't know what to say," he murmured, his voice filled with wonder.
Mia placed a hand on Chad's shoulder, a sense of understanding passing between them. "It's a lot to take in, I know. But together, we'll navigate this new path," she said, her voice filled with determination and hope. "And with your help, I know we can keep our family safe."
Chad nodded, a sense of purpose filling him. "We'll do whatever it takes, Mia. No matter what, we'll protect you," he vowed, his voice filled with determination.
Mia smiled gratefully at her brother, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. With Chad and Amber by her side, she knew that she was not alone in this journey. Together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in their quest to keep the elements safe and protect their family from harm.
Chad's gaze turned thoughtful, his mind processing the weight of the situation. "Mia, if this is true, then we need to make sure Grandma doesn't get what she wants. We'll do everything we can to keep you safe and prevent her from getting hold of the elements," he stated firmly, his voice resolute.
Amber nodded in agreement. "We'll stand by you, Mia. Whatever it takes to keep you safe," she added, determination gleaming in her eyes.
Mia's heart swelled with gratitude for her brother and his mate. "Thank you, both of you. Your support means more to me than I can express," she said, her voice filled with emotion.
Chad turned to Mia, his expression serious. "Mia, what are these elements exactly? And how do we make sure Grandma doesn't get them?" he inquired, his voice tinged with concern.
Mia took a moment before responding, knowing the weight of her next words. "The elements are the very essence of the world. They represent the balance of nature and hold immense power. Grandma believes that possessing them will grant her even greater power," she explained, her voice laced with determination.
Chad's brows furrowed in concern. "So, what do we do?" he asked, a hint of urgency in his tone.
Mia took a deep breath, her mind racing with the weight of the responsibility. "We need to keep the elements away from her. We can't let her find out where they are. We must protect them at all costs," she replied, her voice firm with determination.
Chad nodded, a sense of determination filling him. "I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe, Mia. We won't let Grandma get her hands on those elements," he vowed, his voice filled with resolve. Amber placed a comforting hand on Mia's shoulder. "We're with you every step of the way, Mia. Together, we'll face this challenge and emerge victorious," she said, her voice filled with confidence.
Mia smiled gratefully at her brother and his mate, feeling a sense of reassurance wash over her. With Chad and Amber by her side, she knew that they would overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead.
As they finished their meal, Mia's mind turned to Alpha Blake. She glanced at her brother and Amber, then spoke softly, "Me and Blake would spend sometime here before heading back to the pack in a few days time."
Chad's eyes widened in surprise, his expression one of astonishment. "Alpha Blake? Mia, that's... that's incredible," he exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine surprise.
Amber smiled warmly, her eyes gleaming with happiness. "We are so happy, Mia. It's wonderful news," she said, her voice filled with genuine joy.
Mia nodded, a sense of contentment settling over her. "Thank you. Alpha Blake has been incredibly supportive and understanding. I'm grateful to have him in my life," she replied, her voice tinged with happiness.
Chad regarded Mia with a smile, his eyes filled with warmth. "I'm happy for you, Mia. It's good to see you finding happiness," he said, his voice sincere.
Amber nodded in agreement. "Yes, Mia. You deserve all the happiness in the world," she added, her voice filled with sincerity.
Mia's heart swelled with gratitude for her brother and his mate. "Thank you, both of you. Your support means everything to me," she said, her voice filled with emotion.
Chad turned to Mia, a sense of curiosity in his eyes. "So, when do we get to meet the little ones?" he asked, a hint of excitement and playfulness in his voice.
Mia smiled, a sense of warmth filling her. "I'd like that. How about we wait for you and Sarah to start, then I follow." she suggested, her voice filled with enthusiasm.
Chad and Amber nodded in agreement. "That sounds great. We'd love to have kids but have been trying, but let's just sat it's not working," Amber replied, her voice filled with eagerness.
As they left the restaurant, Mia's heart swelled with gratitude for her brother and his mate. With Chad and Amber by her side, she felt stronger and more determined than ever. Together, they would face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in their quest to keep the elements safe and protect their family from harm.
