Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 116

“Can Joseph help?” Dad asks, and I shake my head before I look at my grandmother and grandfather.

“No, he can not. But I can.” I say, not moving my eyes from them, and I sense they know something.

“What you mean, Muffin? Is it one of the gifts the moon goddess talked about?” Dad asks, and I shake my head.

“No, she did speak to me, but to tell me I have inherited an old secret running in mom's family,” I say, still looking at my grandparents.

“I am a bit confused now. What secret?” Dad asks.

“It has been many generations. Over time, we thought it had died out forever.” My grandmother says.

“What are you talking about, Nina?” Dad asks with a bit of a raised voice. Dad hates secrets like this. Says secrets like that can be dangerous. And he is right.

“Nora never knew, so she never kept this from you, Klaus.” Grandma begins.

“Never knew what?” Dad asks.

“That many generations ago, my family line mostly the women, but there were a few men too, that had the ability to heal and save someone from near death.” She says, and Dad is visibly shocked and can find words to speak. So Grandma continues.

“It has been centuries since we have seen a healer in our bloodline. We thought we would never see one again. They were hunted, kidnapped, and killed out of greed and fear. And we decided not to bring that into Nora’s life.” She says. And there is a long silence.

“There was a rouge. He kept telling her to bring someone back. It confused her and me as I was listening through the matebond, trying to get to her. When she said she didn’t know what he meant, he killed her. I felt her life disappear. I felt her die. All because of some secret she did not even know about.” Dad says, sneering the last part out. He never moved on after losing his mom.

“We are sorry,” Grandma says, and Dad growls.

“Had she known, she could have stalled him long enough for me to safe her and the Luna.” He says with a small sound of his wolf’s voice mixed with his. And I knew that Fang was furious and wanted out.
