"You are not her guardian anymore." Lauchlain said finally having gotten to the room. He took a deep straining breath. "The moment she married that slime she was no longer yours to control. You and Conrad have no rights over her, nor does Alexei, or her twin. She can do what she wants. Emma has forgiven her." His eyes watched Luna. "The Lycan have already accepted Luna into their fold. They understand, like The Mother she made a difficult choice. Unlike the one she married for the sake of your kingdom, she is choosing for herself. Her children understand." He strode in acting like he didn't just take a beating for her. "You are not a Queen either. You are a Queen Mother. You are retired. You have even less power that you had when you were her mother. Heed my words carefully Mrs Wroth for these will be my last before I take Luna from you. You can either be in her life, supporting her, loving her, being happy that I make her happy. Or, you can leave her. Either way, I'm not going stand by and let Luna be with people who only hurt her." He put a hand on her hip hoping she would use him to remain standing. "I will not marry her until the social grieving period is over. But you cannot stop me from being the only person in this room who gives a damn about how she feels." His eyes flashed blue. "If you want the Lycans to out right attack you, keep talking this talk of yours. They can all hear it." He smiled softly. "And they will not let you leave with Luna without a fight." He took a breath knowing what his words were. "This is not a threat against you Lady Vampire, this is a statement of fact. These people, including your grandchildren, will not let you take Luna from me, not without death and blood shed and I don't think you really want to reinforce their stereotype of you now, do you?" He was smug. He knew he was right. If she was here in peace taking Luna from him would strip that peace right away. Not even Emma could save her if she tried anything against the pack.
Sebastian sat on his chair shocked. Why didn't she hate him? His eyes looked her over for a moment. He heard movement outside. Voices whispering in bewilderment. Emma was returning. Without Jamie or Oscar. Why?
"I have to go." Emma said to Jamie kissing her brow. "Luna and Lauchlain are happy, I don't want Nanna to take that from them." She stood and turned to Oscar pulling him deeply into her arms and kissed him. "I promise, I will return in two days. I need to protect my sister."

"Lauchlain...don't..." Luna whispered to him.
Anya's frozen eyes looked over the lad that claimed her daughter. A small smile formed on her lips as she loosely crossed her arms, "You and your kind do not understand or follow our customs, but Luna is still my daughter in every way there is; married or not. My children's best interests are always on my mind and this scandal isn't what she wants. Luna, the only way you can redeem your name to our people is if you return with me. You may see him once your grieving period is over but until then you must pay tribute to your husband's homeland and thank those who are there for their hospitality."
Luna gave Lauchlain a light squeeze before nodding to her mother. She understood why her mother was doing this, and she was willing to accept it for what it was: a chance to start over.
"I won't be taking her by force," Anya glanced back at Lauchlain, "Then again, retired or not, you don't get to bark at me. You can send your entire army at me, you will still lose if you don't let me fix this situation up."
Luna looked over at Lauchlain from the side of her eyes, "Threatening my mother for this opportunity isn't wise, Lauchlain. I can return once I pay my penance."
"Well that was...odd," Astrid stood next to Sebastian, "I wonder why her aura changed so dramatically."
"Because Luna is getting put in her place," Keagan laid back down in bed, "You can hear the whole thing."
"Well don't spy on them!" Astrid hardened her gaze on Keagan.
"It's not like it's anything important," Keagan rolled over onto his stomach and closed his eyes, "Emma's coming back..."
"I wouldn't get involved if I were you," Oscar took a long drag from his cigarette, "Luna is Anya's daughter, she wouldn't like it if you came to take Lucas away from Celia."

Luna went to Anya's side, the two gave an understanding nod as they stood together. Anya spoke softly to Luna in her village's language, "It won't be very long, maybe a few days as long as our people know you didn't kill him on purpose."
"I'm sorry..." Luna responded in English, she should have known her mother would have seen passed her original plot.
"It never surprises me the brutal loyalty lycans give," Anya turned to look out the window, "Now that Conrad is also of that kind it doesn't bother me like it used to."
"They were not so loyal when I first arrived here," Luna admitted as she stood still, "I, too, was spat on and asked to leave several times. I only stayed for..."
Luna's eyes went to Lauchlain before going back to the floor. Anya gave a small sigh before saying, "I'm saving you from the path you're taking, Luna. Until our people know you are a simple widow, it's best to not see your lover for now. Have you committed the deed yet?"
"No.." Luna shook her head, "Let's just go before Emma arrives, I don't want there to be an altercation."
"Emma's middle name is altercation," Anya chuckled as she took her daughter's hand gently, "But we may leave."

"I am sure," Anya shrugged off Emma's subtle daggers with ease, "But seeing as you so hasten this is very vulgar and can be deemed as improper. Especially with someone that is of lower standing than herself. Besides, you are Queen over here in your land and yet Alexei is Luna's King no matter what way your face turns. His order is for her return."
She then paused and smiled at Emma, "I have yet to hear anything quiet about this place. With Isolde for your head, witches trying to take Crystal's daughter, and my daughter having an escapade with Lauchlain, the only quiet thing i've heard is the silence of a nuisance screech that I once had to live with. But after you separated into your own kingdom, suddenly the screeching sound was gone."
Anya had her own daggers as well. She approached the table and sat where Luna placed the teacup before sitting next to her mother. Luna had already had her bags packed and sent on their way to Alexei's kingdom, now all she had to do was finish her time with her mother there before leaving together. She could already see that Emma and Anya were back at being at odds. With her mother's grace and poise, it was easy to see that Anya was in control of the argument.
"I will not be taking Luna away by my own hand. She has agreed that it is the best option and will be leaving by her own accord," Anya sipped at the tea.
"It was improper of me to return here at all," Luna sipped her tea, "It's best that I return with Mother and continue my mourning period within Alexei's castle before returning to Italy."
"Then, after her mourning period, she may return to Alexei's where if Lauchlain would like to court her he may do so," Anya smiled towards Luna, who seemed pleased, then turned her gaze to Emma, "It saddens me to see that you want to take the short route to these dealings when there are certain parameters that must be met. Haste makes waste, my dear."

"I tell you this now, you will not speak to my mother that way," Luna's voice became hard as did her glare on Emma, "I care not for what you felt about her before, and I care not still for what you feel now. If you threaten my mother once again on if I leave, then I can promise you that I will leave and never return. You speak of peace yet you promise blood."
Even Anya was surprised that Luna would never come back. She then glanced at Emma, "I wasn't planning on remarrying Luna to anyone else, those are your own conclusions. Were you planning on forcing Lauchlain onto Luna? You are not her mother, you are her step-sister in the least."
Luna turned her gaze from Emma and turned to her mother, "I know you mean well, Mother, and I know you want me happy. If going through my mourning period with you will have me end up with Lauchlain, I trust you."
"And since when did I ever let her be without him?" Anya glanced back at Emma, "She is forbidden to court him now because she is in mourning. After her mourning, I said he could court her properly. Perhaps you ought to pay more attention to enunciation."
"And do not speak of your current affairs like they meant nothing. You have yet to deal with Isolde since she fled after attacking Lauchlain. And you didn't deal with the wishes, Keagan momentarily got rid of them so Nyx could escape. And quit calling her 'Mum' when you don't even treat her with the respect she deserves."
"And I do believe this conversation is over," Anya gave a faint yawn, "Luna, calm yourself down and we will take our leave back to your father's castle. It was nice seeing you again, Emma, even if you still resent me in every way possible. I will write to Oscar."
Luna and Anya stood, pushing their teacups away and headed towards the main door.

"If it's a war you seek, you need only start one," Anya smiled as she led Luna out the door, "This is your choice now, choose your fate."
Luna glanced back at Emma castle before walking into the limo with her mother, "I will honor my heritage and return when my image is clean."
"Good girl," Anya agreed as she entered the limo with her daughter.
She did not fear a war with Emma. Not at all. In fact, she knew the day would come when they would fight it out like true women of their kind, but not today. When they went back to Alexei's castle, Luna came face to face with her siblings and embraced them tightly. She missed them all terribly so since they were so inseparable before. Alexei then smiled to his sisters, "I have a surprise for you. We've completed the testing, and we've made a witch into a vampire."
Both sisters seemed confused until Nyx came into the moonlight. She was changed, and she didn't mind. The bite mark on her neck concluded that she had been turned into a vampire that still held her mystical powers of magic. She seemed older, her body progressing in age to compensate for the immense power she held. Crystal stood behind her with pride, "She is ready to kill even Emma."
"We don't want to kill her," Alexei stated, Celia and Luna nodded in agreement, "She is our sister."
"In any case, she is strong enough to be a formidable foe to even her," Crystal caressed Nyx's cheek, "My sweet daughter, you are my pride. You will return knowing you are far better than the rest now."
Nyx remained silent as she looked herself over. She enjoyed her new appearance though she still felt like a young child at heart. All she wanted to do was play outside and now she had this weird body with fat things on her chest that jiggled every time she moved. Anya approached her niece and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Follow your king's order. You belong here, and must follow your King's statement."
Alexei approached Nyx and stated, "I am your King. You have been honored and made in this court, and you will follow our customs. You will return to your father's kingdom and live there as a guest. Do not disgrace our name."
Nyx gave a silent nod, her thoughts were racing since all she wanted to was to play in the swamp when she return. Alexei called her a carriage, sending Nyx on her way to return to Emma's castle.

Keagan stirred as he sat up, noticing Scarlette and the others had left the room. He ran his fingers through his messy hair as he stood up. There was a familiar, yet...off scent lingering in the air. He left the room and went down the halls to the entrance area to find many lycans barking at the new-comer. It was a girl who looked no older than Nyx, though the on-stage of puberty seemed to be starting for her.
"You're one of them now. How can we be so sure to trust you?"
"You're an abomination!"
Keagan got a better look and to his horror it was Nyx. But it was no longer just regular, witchy Nyx. She was also a vampire. Her features were sharper now, she looked too much like Emma's husband. However, Nyx's dress was torn to her knees, her feet and hands were covered in mud. Did they find her outside?
Nyx spotted Keagan and smiled as she waved to him, "Good to see you're better now. I was playing outside when Emma's guard brought me here."
"You must call her 'Mother', child," the guard barked to her, "If you know what's good for you."
"She's a different kind of mother to me and I will call her by her name," Nyx rolled her eyes, "If we're done here, i'm going back out to play."
Keagan noticed the sun beginning to rise and pushed through the crowd before pulling Nyx's hair to stop her, "You can't go out there anymore! The sun will burn you alive."
Nyx stopped, looked at Keagan as tears filled her eyes. The greatest joys she found was the sun and how warm it made her feel. She looked to the ground before stalking off to her room. The night would come soon and then she would play beneath the pale moonlight.
Keagan felt sorry for Nyx having to give up her days to live up her nights. But, he knew she would get over it soon.
Luna stood in front of the portrait of her and her sister when they were children. It brought back so many memories. She heard her mother walking down the hall and gave a sad smile, "The evening delights should be starting soon."
"That's all very well, but we have a wedding to plan for you," Anya smiled as she took her daughter's arm gently.
"Wedding!? I thought you said-"
"How else was I supposed to bring you back here?" Anya asked as she led Luna to a room where Celia had plenty of wedding planners waiting, "If you're going to marry Lauchlain, we'll give you the wedding of your dreams."
Luna teared up as she covered her mouth. Celia went to her sister and hugged her tightly, "We didn't want the others to know because we wanted to make it the way you wanted it to be."
She couldn't wait to tell Lauchlain or the others, but for now she wanted to create the wedding of her dreams. Anya, however, knew something wasn't right. While her daughters went to plan Luna's happiness, Anya left the room and into the night and followed her husband's scent. Ever since his great change, he was no longer the same man. He was more ruthless, and heartless than before. He even raised a hand to her again, which didn't end well for him this time. Their marriage was crumbling apart.
Anya found his scent still at Emma's, the guards were escorting him away from the castle and towards the forest. She left the car and approached the guards and her husband, "If you and Emma do not mind, I will take of him from here."
She could smell the blood still fresh on him. Did he kill another group of witches? The madness was becoming too much for her to handle by herself. Why did Emma have to make him into this beast?
