Oh shit, Their mother was Alive.

"Just because a silvery dust flew into her nose doesn't mean mother did it." Danica shook her head.

"But you know deep down she could have been the one, if you lived with her, you would know the type of powers she had...has." argued Koala.

"Hold on, why would a silvery dust fly into Hailey's nose to make her remember. And if you're so sure it's your mother doing it, what business does she have with my pack?" Things were just getting more complicated.

"That's what I'd like to know, why now?"

"Maybe it's all connected, think about it. It's when we found out Danica is your mate that this whole attack started, but who in the pack is a traitor?"

"Oh, that's it!" Hailey gasped.

"I was coming to tell you that, I saw Alicia a moment before I was dragged into something that looked like a black hole, she was standing there smiling at me as I tried to come out of the hole, but something or maybe someone, kept grabbing me."

"Alicia? Are you sure? Alicia was part of the people who were attacked." I couldn't believe Alicia was a traitor or somehow knew about the attack.

"She was also the first person to be attacked, was she not?" Josh asked, rubbing his chin.

"But why would you have seen Alicia?" Octavian asked, also rubbing his chin. "Are you sure it was Alicia you saw?"

"I'm absolutely sure, she smiled exactly the way she used to when she wins an argument."

"What if it was also a glamour?" Danica whispered.

"I know she's your friend, also my friend...I suppose, but it could have been really her."

"If you remembered something, how did the person that pretended to be me find out?" I asked, the story just wasn't adding up.

"Yeah, did you tell anybody you remembered?" Vincent asked.

"I didn't, I just came here directly."

"Then how did the traitor find out you knew?" Octavian asked.

Hailey blushed, "I might have shouted it."

We sighed, but still. "Even if you shouted, was the traitor that close to you to have heard you shouting that you remembered."

"Except, if the person is keeping an eye on you, you were the most harmed out of the three attacks." Josh said.

"Maybe you were a special case, the marks on your body didn't look like normal bite marks." Octavian added.

"Yeah, I also have a theory." Josh said.

"Oh you do?." Octavian asked, they focused on themselves talking, completely forgetting about us.

"Hey, guys? Aren't you forgetting something?"

When they looked back at us, now remembering that they had company, I rolled my eyes. The two of them were the brains in the pack, so of course when they started talking, they completely forget about the rest.

"So, Josh thinks someone might be summoning, and if we want to make sure Alicia couldn't have had anything to do with, we'll need to check if Alicia is a witch...or not, you don't have to be a witch to be able to summon, you just have to have the words and materials used for it." Octavian said.

"Yeah." Josh agreed. "She could be a practitioner, you know...the wannabe witches."

"So now, what we need to figure out is why Danica's mother is getting involved." Octavian said.

"But we are not really sure she's the one."

"Danica —" Koala started.

"No, we aren't sure she's involved."

"Danica—"

"No!, Thanos would have never let her out of his damn watch if she's really there, and even if he lets her out, it would have been because he could finally control her."

"Then we'll just make it a possibility, but why do you think your mother did it?" Asked Octavian.

Koala shrugged. "It was one of her powers."

"She was also a dreamer." Danica put in.

"Oh." I frowned, "what kind of dreamer had the power to compel?"

"She had gifts of a dreamer, they aren't types, their gifts just varies." Koala said.

"Oh okay, so what gifts does she have?." Vincent asked.

"She can compel, she could read thoughts, she could could make you, in the future, dream about what happened in the past, and you'll see it exactly the way she wants you to, she could use it to remind you about whatever happened."

"How does that work?"

"No." Danica gasped, her eyes now full of tears. "She's really alive." She murmured.

"What, now you believe?" Koala Taunted.

"She's the one that made me remember, I dreamed about her, she was in my dream, talking to me."

The hurt that blossomed in my chest couldn't be stopped.

She kept thing's from me, didn't let me in, and yet she wanted to prove to me that she's worthy of being my mate.

"You dreamed about her? Then that solves this case, Danica's mother is really alive, now we just have to figure out what all this has in connection to the attacks." Josh said.

"Wait, "Vincent started, "aren't we forgetting something? Everyone who's been attacked kept saying the same thing, that Jerome had something that belonged to them."

"Yeah, and if they were sucked into a black hole that would explain the fact that no one knows when they were attacked or no one sees."

It bothered me, what did I have that belonged to someone else, the pack was mine, I inherited it from my father, it's my inheritance. I stared at Danica. It couldn't be Danica, Danica was my mate and no one else's. Or was it Thanos? Danica did say Thanos was coming for her.

I sighed. "Where's your father?, have they gone back to Las Vegas?"

"Yeah," Tara answered, looking away. "He had to to go do something, but his daughter stayed though."

I snorted. She called him the sperm donor and yet when I called him her father she didn't correct me.

And she's calling her sister his daughter like they weren't related.

Family.... What a complicated word.
