Getting back on track we resumed talking about how I ended up in my current position.
"Around the time you were born your Uncle Maddox got involved with a woman by the name of Larissa Mayborn. It wasn't anything serious, but it resulted in the birth of Bethany Mayborn. This is where things turn ugly. Your father and Uncle Maddox are identical twins, one day Larissa saw your father and believed he was Maddox and when your father denied knowing Larissa she just assumed that he was Maddox. That is why Bethany believes you are her sister, and not her cousin, from what I know to this day Larissa and Bethany still believes that Lyle is Bethany’s father." Lawrence explains letting out a sigh leaning back in his seat.
"That doesn't explain why I'm supposed to be kept away from Bethany." I state slowly.
"Your birthday is April 16th, on that day was a Lunar Eclipse and everyone knows that a Lunar Eclipse is not only good luck, but for a child connected to the royal family, with not only pureblood but also ancient blood running through her veins to be born on this night is rare. It's only ever happened twice, the first case being decades ago and the second being you. But there's a price to this good blessing, for a child to be born and blessed on a Lunar Eclipse another is born and cursed on a Solar Eclipse and in this case that child is Bethany. The cursed child of the Solar Eclipse can never live the life of a true were-. They forever live a miserable life; the few born on a Solar Eclipse are either consumed with so much hate and resentment or loathe themselves and keep themselves hidden from the world. Bethany is one that is filled with hate and resentment." he explains letting out a sigh and shaking his head.
"What are some of the things that come with the curse?" Levi questions piping up from behind us.
"She doesn't have a mate, she has no were- form, if she's ever to mark someone or be marked the person will die, packs automatically shun a person born on a Solar Eclipse, for they do not wish to invite someone who's a bad omen. And last of all she's immortal,"
"Forever wandering this world alone, watching those around her die while she continues to live never to be accepted. Wherever she goes. she won't be happy, she can never be a part of a pack because of her title, she can never take a mate because they'll die. A curse that I wouldn't wish on my enemies, a curse that sentences you to go through life forever alone." I state staring at my Lawrence, understanding what he means.
"That is why those born to the Solar Curse, either fill with hate and resentment or just disappear and make themselves forgotten." Lawrence states slowly.
"So why is she after Reagan?" Levi questions slowly.
"There's a myth out there that if the person born with Solar Curse, if they're able to obtain the soul of the person blessed one born under the lunar eclipse that is can destroy the curse. This myth has never been proven, but I'm sure Bethany has heard of this myth." he explains shrugging.
"Could there be any other reason that Bethany is after her?" Levi questions.
"Something that has been fueling people's anger for hundred of year, jealousy. Because of the misunderstanding she believe Lyle cares more about you and your brother not realizing that you're her cousin not her sister. Then again it could be based on the misunderstanding and wanting your soul." Lawrence explains calmly.
"How does Bethany know who I am? If my father put a spell on me to hide who I am, how does she know who I really am then?" I question slowly.
"As you grow older in some cases magic can wear off, I'm beginning understand that your father intended for you to regain your memory. Your father is a strong and gifted ancient and pureblood, if he wanted to keep your memories blocked permanently then he could easily do that. But you were 7 when your memories were hidden; it's been 9 years since then. I'm not surprised that the spell is wearing off. With recent things that have been happening recently I'm not surprised that Bethany has appeared." he explains shrugging.
"I still don't understand how me being born on a lunar eclipse makes me special." I state slowly.
"Both your parents are pureblooded and both are strong gifted ancients. You were born on a lunar eclipse, and it's been known to bless those who are born on a lunar eclipse due to its connecting to Luna herself. It's never been discovered why it is that Luna blesses those on a Lunar Eclipse but she does. You being born under these circumstances makes you stronger than both your mother, father, and uncle combined, three of the most well-known and talented ancients that have lived in over three decades. Your father's actions have left your Achilles’ heel wide open and known to those who want you, which is why I am angry at him." Lawrence explains his mood darkening.
"Like I said by him blocking your memories your true self is blocked, including your powers. So because your memories are retuning back slowly that means your powers are in their infancy, you don't even know how to use your powers let alone control them. In the state you're in right now makes you very vulnerable and weak, and honestly if Bethany were to attack your or capture you there's really nothing you can do. Not even your cat could stop her, but I honestly don't think you have to worry about her coming to attack you." Axel explains grasping my hand in his and giving it a gently squeeze.
"Why wouldn't she attack me?" I ask, not believing him.
"Your powers are at their weakest meaning, and your memories are blocked meaning..."
"My soul is of no use to her. I have to be at my full power, and have my memories back for me to be a target for her." I state slowly connecting the pieces.
"Yes, you’re just like your mother pretty much a younger version of her." Lawrence states his face calming as he smiles at me warmly.
"What is my family like?" I question slowly.
"Your father is an ass," Lawrence grumbles shaking his head. I stare at him and confusing but all he does is shake his head. "Even thought your father and I are close we are constantly butting heads, and don't think it's because of you we've always have never seen eye to eye. Other than that he's a wonderful man, and I you need to know that sending you away was the hardest thing for your father. He put on a brave face for your mother and brother, but when it was just us he wasn't afraid to cry and tell me how much it killed him to hand you over to Candace. Your uncle has been blaming himself for years, in fact your father doesn’t even blame him but Maddox has just locked himself away keeping himself hidden. I'm not the only one who felt the urge to protect you the moment you were born, you're the baby of the family and you touched his heart. He's been blaming himself since then; in fact I haven't talked to Maddox in over 9 years. After your father sent you away he went away, I know where he is he just never accept visitors. His property is guarded by a magic shield that keeps everyone away I'm not able to go through that shield and talk with him." he explains calmly.
"Let me go, no offense I understand you're close to my family but he's my uncle and my father's identical twin. Seeing him will kind of be like seeing my father in a way." I say jumping up from my seat.
"Did you not hear the part about the magical shield surrounding his property?" Levi questions slowly.
"I'm not deaf, but he feels guilty about me having to go away. Maybe if I let him know that I know everything and that I don't blame him for anything than maybe he'll stop hating himself. I can't just sit around knowing someone who believes their family hates them when they don’t, and keeping themselves separated from the family just because of a decision of theirs. It's not right, family is family and it doesn't matter that I don't remember thee times I've spent with them but that doesn't mean I don't care." I explain slamming my hands down on Lawrence's desk. He stares at me in shock then let out a sigh, he grabs a sheet of paper and scribbles something down then hands it to me.
"He lives in a mansion on the edge of the werecat territory. He wanted to be as far away from the Werecat Kingdom as possible, he moved here because he at least wanted to be close to someone familiar." he states shrugging. Looking down at Axel I smile at him,
"Let's go meet my uncle, but first we need to stop by my house and let my parents know I'm okay. I'm sure they're worried about me." I state grabbing his hand and pulling him from his seat.
"See you tomorrow Levi, and thank you Lawrence." I yell over my shoulder pulling Axel behind me out the office.
