Past

"I can't take back the past, but I can fight for the future" - Shannon A Thompson

Blossom's POV

Sophie left half an hour ago, leaving me by the bedside of a guard
The other one had passed, and Sophie had left to inform Alexander and Sin
So now I was on my own, and consumed in my own thoughts.

I felt like they all knew something I didn't, the way they completely brushed over this as just another rogue attack, anyone could see this wasn't a wolf, it certainly wasn't human but it wasn't a rogue
So why wouldn't Sin tell me?

I suppose it's karma, I'm still keeping secrets from him
I needed to tell him what I was, before it all comes back on me
I was worried beforehand about how he'd react, but the sinking feeling truly set in when Lacey brought up the acceptance trials.

I had completely forgot about them
I'd have to shift, to fight in my wolf form, but then everyone would know.

I wish we didn't have secrets between us, that I could just confide in him and he could tell me what was going on here.
Who that woman was that attacked me in the woods.

Sin's POV

"Calm down" dad said again, watching my leg bounce up and down quickly
I stopped it, staring out the window as I sat opposite his desk
"How am I supposed to calm down? They keep getting in, what if they get to Blossom again?" I asked agitated.

"They won't... she won't" he said sternly
Fuck this, I stood up, leaving his office.
He couldn't promise that, he couldn't say for certainty that she wouldn't get in again, that she wouldn't get near my Blossom again.

I went out to the gardens, sitting amongst mom's roses
I should be with Bloss, but I couldn't face her, not as I'm still keeping things from her.
Keeping who I really am from her.

That... that I wasn't fully a werewolf
That my mother... wasn't my mother...

"I love you Alexander" Narissa mumbled softly, tracing his jaw slowly as she stared up at him, legs tangled and sheets lain lazily across their naked bodies.
Alexander smiled, hesitant to say it back as he knew it could never be true.

He was young, too young to be fooling around with some girl he knew he would never end up with
He was a soon to be alpha, he was waiting for his mate, his Luna
"Alex?" Narissa asked, worry evident in her voice.

"Yeah" he said absentmindedly
"Aren't you going to say it back?" She asked, sitting up to look at him properly, bedsheets wrapped around her as her white hair curled over her shoulders
Alexander sighed
"You know I can't" he mumbled.

She frowned, before her face turned to an icy glare and she began retrieving her clothes
"Fuck you" she seethed
"Narissa-"
"No fuck you. You expect me to just wait around, be your 'in the meantime' before you find your stupid fucking mate?" She asked angrily.

"You don't understand" he sighed
"No, I wouldn't, would I? That's all you ever say, I wouldn't understand, I couldn't possibly know what it's like to have such a 'deep and strong connection'" she shouted.

"You wouldn't" he sighed, Alexander never wanted to hurt her, she had assured him thoroughly in the 6 months they had been... involved, that she had no intention of catching feelings, of pursuing anything with him
And now here they were, her professing her love and him having to let her down.

He wanted his mate. Sure maybe he hadn't waited for her physically but he kept his heart only for her
Many mates had sexual encounters before they met their mate, and many decided to wait, it was just part of life.

But that didn't stop the guilty feeling in his chest at the look on Narissa's face
The rejection slowly sinking in.

•

14 months... 14 months of alpha training and 14 months after the 'Narissa situation', and Alexander had just finished school, focusing on pack duties and trying to distract himself from not having found his mate yet
He needed her, all his friends had started finding theirs, and he craved to feel that.

Craved to feel the heart stopping tingling feeling and connecting to your soul mate.

But instead he got a heart wrenching soul crushing weight on him... that one day, when he heard a knock at his door and a baby on his doorstep.

He was the smallest little thing Alexander had ever laid eyes on, he had pitch black hair, just like him, and bright green eyes... just like him...
He picked up the note that laid atop his blanket

Alexander

I get it, you don't love me
But I loved you
I hope you're happy with your so called mate
But I'm in trouble, I have some things to take care of so... I need you to take care of our son
This, this beautiful little baby is what our love was
Our one sided love...

Narissa

He had a baby... a tiny mixed species baby
He had no mate, no explanation from Narissa... and no one to tell
How could he tell anyone he had a child? A child that wasn't his mates?

So after much consideration... and a lot sleepless nights with a screaming baby, Alexander decided to keep the tiny boy
His son...

He kept him hidden away in the house, trying to figure out how to raise a child alone.
A mixed species child
Half werewolf...

Half demon...

It was a Tuesday... when he saw her
When baby Sin was back home at his mothers, and he was out shopping for more clothes for his son
That's when he saw her... small, petite, soft blonde hair sitting at her shoulders as she walked down the street.

He had smelt her before he saw her, the smell of honey and daisies flooding his senses and driving his wolf wild
What drove him even more wild? The guy she was walking with...

He wanted to talk to her, the way her head shot up and chocolate eyes met his had his wolf clawing to get free
His mate...
That day ended in him knocking her friend out and carrying her back to his house.

His beautiful little Sophie. His mate... future Luna...
He was in love with her the moment he laid eyes on her, which only made keeping his secret son from her all the more painful... Sin was 4 months old and a nightmare at night.

After 2 weeks of mated bliss and paralysing stress at trying to keep such a big secret from her... Sophie found out. And Alexander poured everything out
Narissa... the baby... the fact that he couldn't tell everyone he now had a half werewolf half demon son... the worry that she'd leave him once she found out.

•

After a long talk, a brief fight... few tears and a make up, Sophie agreed to give Alexander a chance, to raise Sin as their own and never tell anyone what Sin really was
Only them two and Alexander's parents knew
And when his parents died shortly after Toby was born, the secret laid with them.

Toby was never told, growing up to believe his brother was in fact... his full brother.
They thought they were doing him a kindness, leaving him out of their now 18 year old secret.

Life was relatively perfect, until Sin had his first shift, hearing his wolf Kade in the back of his head... and then... Killian... his demon.

Now... the secret remained between the three, no one suspecting anything as Sin had a good hold on his self, his Alpha genes dominant over the demon genes.

The only problem... was Narissa
She came back on Sin's 6th birthday, trying to take him back, and has tormented them ever since wanting her son back
Everyone in the supernatural world knew of Narissa's reputation.

She was an evil and unforgiving woman, thousands had been slain in her name and she had no remorse for any of them. So why did she want the baby she left behind?

Sin's POV

Fuck... my heads scrambled
How do I tell Bloss?
Do I tell Bloss? Would she leave me?
Would she accept me?
I was lying to her and it was killing me, she got hurt because of me.

Because of that bitch Narissa
Sure, she was my birth mother, but she was nothing to me
My mother was Sophie Black. The woman who raised me and loved me
The one who put me to bed and read me stories.

Narissa Manola was an evil woman, she was nothing to me and if she thinks she can get to me through Blossom... I'll rip her fucking throat out.

"You okay Sinny?" I turned to see my mother sit down next me, her blonde hair sitting in curls as she admired the roses
"What if she gets her?" I asked
"She won't, your father won't let her" she said, she sounded so sure of herself.

It was silent after that, just the summer breeze around us as we sat in the garden together
"Do you ever regret it?" I asked
"Regret what dear?" She asked
"Raising me, telling everyone I was yours" I clarified, she smiled, taking my hand in hers.

"You are mine, you're just as much mine as Toby is" she smiled
"But I'm... one of them" I said bitterly
"And it's part of who you are... doesn't mean it defines who you are" she said softly
"She'll hate me" I muttered, referring to Blossom.

"She'll understand" she said
"I'm a fucked up hybrid mom, I've lied to her since day one" I sighed, picking the petals off a flower as I leant my forearms on my thighs
"And your father was a single parent, raising said 'fucked up hybrid' and keeping it from me since day one... and look at us now, seventeen years of marriage and two beautiful sons, and we couldn't be more happy" she smiled.

"We could be more happy" I grumbled, if Narissa would just fuck off
I'm eighteen, I don't want anything to do with her, I don't want anything to do with any of her kind.

I just want my family, my little Blossom...

Blossom's POV

"Hey, what's up buttercup?" I looked up to see Lola, I'd been sat in the common room of the pack house by the fire for an hour now, Sin was god knows where and when I asked Alexander he said they were having a family meeting.
One I clearly wasn't invited to.

So I'd been sat here sulking, what was Sin keeping from me?
"Nothing" I mumbled
Lola sighed, sitting on the coffee table in front of me
"Fancy coming out with me and a few of the other girls? We're gonna go clubbing" she offered.

"I don't think I'd be much company" I mumbled, besides, I wasn't the type of girl that was great at 'clubbing'
"Ah come on, just a few drinks, bit of dancing, get you out of whatever this is" she giggled, gesturing to my sad state.

I thought about it. Maybe I should go, I could get to know some of the other girls in the pack.
I could even invite Micah and Quinn
I haven't seen them in so long since Sin had kept me from going school to 'recover'

"Okay" I agreed, Sin won't mind... I hope.
