From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 77

Rhett's hand rubbed against the back of my shoulder as Dominic leaned forward with a slow smile. "Something tells me you will be Thalia. I sense that same strength running through your veins. You're going to be a great leader for your people, and mother to your child." His eyes dropped to the now sleeping toddler in my arms before he nodded once. "I assume you will need to return to your pack soon to settle in. But you're welcome to stay here as long as you need."

I gave him a small smile as I paused, looking up at Rhett. "We will need to get back now that everyone has healed. It's time to ensure the future of our pack. We can come back once everything's settled and finalized." His voice was smooth as he nodded over to Dominic.

"I'll be in touch soon as we can." I said quietly. "I'd really love to know more about my mother. Turns out she was so much more than I ever knew. I would like to hear about her more if you're willing."

Dominic nodded his head once as his jaw clenched. "I will tell you what I'm able."

I leaned forward and caught his gaze as it swirled darker. "I'd also like to know more about you, and tell you about me. If you'd like." My voice was quiet and I tried to hide the uncertainty running rampant through me. He most likely had no interest in pursuing anything further. He was the Alpha of one of the strongest packs. Yes I was his daughter, but that didn't mean I should be expecting any warm fuzzy relationship to sprout with my father now that he suddenly knows about me. He was right. He did have a reputation that preceded him.

His voice jerked me back to reality and I found myself shaking my head to clear my thoughts. "Sorry what?"

He chuckled lowly as he stood. "I said, I would like that." He reached his hand out to help me to my feet. "Very much."

I nodded and gave him a small smile before letting Rhett guide me out of the room. I let out he breath I'd been holding and felt my thoughts finally begin to catch up with my body. I had so many questions. So much I wanted to know.

How could she have not told me this? Why wouldn't she want me to know?

Because I'd have gone to find him. I'd have insisted I find the whole truth. She knew me better than I could have known myself. She knew I wouldn't settle for not knowing him.

I turned around to face Rhett but he just smiled back at me. "I thought we needed a place of our own. The pack house didn't seem quite right now." His eyes dropped to the sleeping toddler in his arms before making their way back to me. "Is it ok?"

My eyes filled with unshed tears as I walked over to stand in front of him, placing my hand on his arm as my fingers stroked softly against his skin. "Of course it's ok." I said with a broken laugh as tears began to fall one by one. I turned to look at the house behind me. "It's beautiful Rhett."

He nodded and took my hand, leading me inside and my jaw dropped. The ceilings were at least two stories tall, and beautiful lighter wood covered the ceiling as beams cane to a point at the peak. The living room was open in front of us with windows looking over the trees. The dining room opened to an enormous patio that floated within the landscape, looking over the mountainside as trees surrounded us.

As I was about to walk down the hallway, I heard a knock on the door. I looked at Rhett in confusion, but he simply walked to the door to open it. Anniston stood smiling in front of us. She hurried in and stopped in front of me. "I'm so glad you are all ok! We were all so worried about you. I'm so happy you got everyone out safely." I smiled back and squeezed her hands hands gently in mine. She turned to face Huntleigh as Rhett came closer. "Hello little one." She whispered.
