Midnight Visitor

5. Who are you Witch?

I walk into the kitchen or living room and there they are like nothing happened, not like the whole pack is panicking about their former luna with an unknown witch. I snicker a little and then I mindlink everyone that it is fine and just a false alarm. I look at mom and she just meets my gaze like nothing is wrong with this situation. I walk over to her and put my hand on the chairs back behind her and get my face very close to hers and through gritted teeth I say. 

“Next time you get a visit from an unknown guest how about letting me know? I have more than half of the pack out there ready to kick the door down to save you!” 

She does not look fazed by my voice like most people would but then again I was not expecting it from her, I mean I did get it from her mate. Before I could ask more questions I was interrupted by the door being literally kicked down and in burst my brother.

“MOM!” 

Before he could jump and attack the witch she just freezes him in his place and I was about to snap at her but mom stands up and slaps him. My eyes widen and I am not sure what the hell I am supposed to do. 

“Mom” Sebastian whispers. 

“How dare you break my door? You can not just burst in here like I did not raise you right” Mom snaps at him. 

For a second time this evening I am feeling a little like I am getting mom back, I look at the witch and I wonder who she is. I have not seen mom act like her old self in such a long time, I am a little intrigued by this visit. 

“Mom, do you want to explain to us who this is? Or do you want to introduce yourself?” I ask while walking to the fridge to get myself a drink. 

Mom is still having a stare down with Sebastian and there is silence in the air for a little while but then I see him look down at his feet and submit to mom. 

“I am Rosalinda and I am here because your mother owes me a favor” 

That made bells ring in my ears and I wanted to growl at her. She is here to demand something of my mother! I break the glass in my hand from keeping calm, my mother is not going or giving anything to this witch. 

“You must be crazy if you think she is going to keep to that favor” My brother says in his alpha power voice. 

I make myself another drink and close the fridge walking to the end of the island and looking at them just ignoring the broken glass on the floor. The women are sitting at mom's round dinner table, Sebastian is standing by the couch and I think the witch is keeping him at a safe distance. She does not look surprised that we would take like this to her statement.

“I made a blood pact with her” mom says, rather embarrassed. 

If she was not my mother I would walk over to her and smack her on the back of her head. There is never a good idea to make a blood-pact with a witch! That is the most binding and there are no gray areas; you have to be given the favor and then accept it for it to count. Not like hey I saved you yesterday and you restore my house we are good…

I rub the back of my hand into my eyes and the smell from my drink fills my nose. 

“I was young and mated to your father” 

My eyes widen again and I see Sebastians jaw drop, she is talking about father! 

“He cheated on me and I felt it, he was away on some pack business and I was home, I felt his betrayal like fire through my entire body. I did however not wait for him to finish until I was out of this house and on my way to the airport. I ran away because I knew that I would forgive him as soon as I would see him and let the matebond melt me into him. I thought we were the perfect luna and alpha but apparently I was alone in that” 

“I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! FATHER WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO DISRESPECT YOU!” Sebastian yells at mom.

I can hear it in his voice how much hurt he felt by the betrayal of our father, mother is knocking father a little down off his pedestal that Sebastian has him on. That I have him on...

“You can believe whatever you want but that is the truth. Anyway, I traveled and drove for a long time until I found someone to help me” 

Silence. 

“Help you with what mom?” I ask.

I keep my voice emotionless and as careless as I can. 

“I was looking for someone to break the matebond I had with your father” 

That really knocked the air out of Sebastian and he kicked the sofa and it went flying to the wall/front door. He curses but I just look at mom and I can see how much telling this story and remembering these feelings are hurting her.

“You better shut the hell up Sebastian or I will knock you out” I warn him.

He looks at me but I just narrow my eyes at him, I have my business look on me and I am focking serious about my threat and he knows it. 

“I am guessing you were not successful since me and my brothers are here” I say and take another sip, gesturing to her to keep going. 

She just shakes her head, tears falling down her cheeks. I want to comfort her but I need to know what this witch is doing here, then I will hold her. 

“ The best she could do was make me forget him, we made the pact and I forgot he existed. It worked out for a little while but then Blaine found me and soon after your father. I did however not know who he was so that only added to my suffering. We started to work out our issues when I was kidnapped by a sicko that wanted to breed me.”

A strange look comes on my mothers face and she looks at Rosalinda.

“I heard that he had you also, what happened to you?” 

Rosalinda just smiles and her face wrinkles up. 

“He did not have me for long, he did not have enough herbs to hold me and I just snuck out with one of the guards that thought I was his mate” 

Relief fills my mothers face.

“I was stolen from Aunt Lilys pack but after the rescue we stayed there for a little while longer. Blaine met his mate, we then decided to leave that place and come home but that sicko followed us. He then made the mistake of k********g your father thinking I would just give myself up to him or something” 

“But at that time you had your memories back?” 

Mom looks at Sebastian and nods her head. 

“I snuck in not having the time to wait for backup and there we killed the sicko and started our lives again” 

Silence. 

“Why have we never heard this story before mom?” I ask. 

She looks back at me. 

“This is not really something that you would want to say to your children that your mate was unfaithful and that lead to us both being in a life threatening situations” 

I nod my head satisfied with that response. I opened my mouth again to focus again on the witch but Sebastian was quicker. 

“What happened to the b***h that he f****d?” 

Mom flinched in her seat. 

“Is she someone that we know? Is she in the pack?” He presses.

Mom looks down very sad and hurt but then she looks up and I get a little chill. Mom looks down right scary and crazy. 

“That b***h became wormfood long ago.” 

I see a little smile on both of them and I grab the opportunity. 

“That is great and all but I want to know why you are here?” 

Rosalinda looks up at me but then she looks at mom and takes her hands. 

“I need to cash in the favor because the future leader of my coven was kidnapped” 

I raise my eyebrow. Usually witches would not like it if wolves would mess around in their business but now she wants us to fight witches and get this kid back? Something smells fishy.

“Why would you come to a wolf for this? Is this not an official witch business? Take is to your elders” I say seriously. 

She looks at me a little angry now. 

“There were no witches here at work, there was wolf energy all over the place and I know for sure that wolves stole him” 

She looks at mom.

“My favor of you is to go these wolves and get him back safe to me” 

Mom looks at her and I can see it in her face that she will take the favor. Panic runs through my body and I sweat a little. I will not send my mother out on a mission like this! I will not lose both of my parents! 

“I accept on her behalf” I answer.
