The Return Of Queen Cheyenne

chapter 14 telling the kids & Mercury knows

Edited.

Selena’s P.O.V

I had received a phone call from Holly, my step mother and my father’s second chance mate, asking to see me because she needed to talk to me about something. I knew that it had to be something important because she didn’t like bothering any of the family unless it was something serious and important. She told me that she would be here in a few minutes, but when I asked if dad was coming over she said no, that she was coming alone and it made me wonder what dad had done this time, it had to be something as she was coming alone. I knew that he was still mourning over mom and that it was hard for him because I was only just getting over mourning her, but I still miss her like it had just happened yesterday. I can still see her smile and the colour of her eyes, the way she did her hair and the way she smelled and I still miss her so much. I smiled as I thought of the happy memories mom and I shared together, but I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard Holly’s car pulling into the driveway. I went to the front door and opened it, watching as she got out of the car and walked up to me. We hugged each other and I smiled at her, but she looked worried and stressed.

“Can we take a walk? I called Anna and she should be here soon, but I haven’t told the twins, Isaiah and Gabrielle, because I thought that the two of you being the oldest would need to know first.” Holly said and I nodded, but I was starting to worry what all of this was about. Thirty minutes later Anna arrived and started walking with us, but Holly was just getting more and more nervous, which made me worry even more.

“Alright girls, what I am about to tell you is going to be a huge shock to you and no, I’m not joking or lying about this, I wouldn’t do that. The reason why I haven’t come to you sooner is because I needed to find the right words to tell you this. I haven’t even told your father yet because of how painful this is going to be, but here goes. Shane came to me one night a couple of weeks ago and told me something that was completely unbelievable, but now I am doubting whether it's true or not, whether it's real or not. He told me that he thought he saw your mother, Cheyenne.” Holly said, making us both gasp. Holly shook her head and held up her hand, stopping us from asking questions.

“I know, I know it's hard to believe, I mean she has been gone for twenty one years, but Shane was certain that it was her. He told me that she had the same hair, the same eyes and she even talked like her, but he didn’t tell me where he saw her. I need to know the truth, I need to find this woman to make sure for myself that it's her or not. I need to know for your father, for the twins and for her father, your grandfather Hawk. if it is her then obviously there will be a lot of questions, mainly how she is alive, how long she has been alive, why she hasn’t come to see any of you or even been in touch? Now I know that if it is true and she is alive that your father will want her back. It’s going to be really hard on me and it's going to hurt like hell, but what can I do? Your father is still mourning her, he still misses her and he still loves her, so I need to find this woman and see who she is.” Holly said and then she stopped talking. She looked between Anna and I, but we both stood there in shock with our mouths hanging open. I don’t think Holly realised that she was crying until she touched her cheek and felt the tears streaming from her eyes. She tried to clean the tears from her face, but they kept coming, so Anna and I grabbed her and pulled her into a hug. We both knew how much she loved our dad and we knew how much he loved her, but we also knew how much he missed our mom and how much he loved her. After all, they were together for many years before she passed away.

Anna’s P.O.V

I was wondering what Holly wanted to talk to Selena and I about when she asked me to meet her at Selena’s and when I arrived Holly started telling us everything straight away. When she told us about our mother and this woman that looked like her, my heart started racing and then I felt like it had stopped all together. Could it be true? Could our mother really be alive? But how? How was she alive, I mean did she die and come back or did she never truly die? When Holly finished talking she was in tears and we both understood why. We grabbed her and held her close, not wanting her to go through this alone, even though we were both still in shock.

“Thank you.” Holly said, sniffing and wiping her tears away.

“Holly, we don’t know if this is true or even if Shane was right with who he saw, but if it is, then we want to know the same as you. We want answers to the same questions that you do, like how come she hasn’t come to see us or dad? Even if it's to at least say goodbye or reject dad and move on with her life. How come she hasn’t come to see how we are coping? I think that you’re right not to tell dad or the twins just yet because we need to find out, all of us need to find out if any of this is true. We don’t know if dad would want her back after all of this, especially as she hasn’t even come around to see her own kids. We know that he loves you and he has been through a lot, but you have been there for him every step of the way, you have kept him sane when he wasn’t himself. You killed that witch that tried to kill dad and you have kept us all together. So if he just throws you away like yesterday's trash then he’s not the man we thought he was, hell, he’s not a real man. Why don’t you go home and act like everything is okay. I will get a hold of Shane and ask him a few questions, mainly where he saw this woman and then we will go from there. Okay.” I said and Holly nodded. She hugged us both again and then got into her car, heading back home. On the way home Anna and I both noticed that Holly had opened her mind to us and what we both heard shocked us, but also made us sad.

“If this is true, then I will be done. I’ve already been getting distant from him, so it will make it easier. I don’t even think he’s noticed.” Holly said and it broke my heart that she was feeling like that, but it also made me feel a load of other emotions. Annoyed at my dad for being like this with Holly, hopeful about my mom being alive, hurt that if my mom was alive that she hasn’t been in touch with us. I was feeling so many emotions that I didn’t know which way to turn or how to handle any of them and I knew that Selena was the same.

Mercury’s P.O.V

It had been a couple of weeks since I overheard Holly and Shane’s conversation and now Holly seemed really distant. She would wait until I was asleep before she came to bed and would be the first up and out of the bedroom before I even woke up in the bedroom. I know that the news Shane gave her had hit her hard, but if this really was Cheyenne, then how come she hadn’t been in touch, come to see me and her kids? How come she hasn’t even told me that she was alive and back? Where the hell was Shane because ever since he had that conversation with Holly I hadn’t seen him. I think that he might be hiding out because he may be watching that woman or he may be hiding from Holly and I, hoping not to let anything slip to me or scared about what I would say. I don’t know what Shane is doing, but I know what Holly is doing and tonight I’m going to put a stop to all of this. She won’t be distant from me any longer, I won’t allow it. I am still the man of this house and I need and want my mate. f**k, I am still the king of the f*****g mafia, the Alpha Don because of the talk that Isaiah and I had earlier on tonight. He told me that he wasn’t ready to take over that role just yet and I understood then took it back, as well as the Alpha title of this pack, until he is ready. Tonight is the night that I take my mate back into my arms as well. Whether she likes it or not, she is my mate and she is not going anywhere. I know that she is worried, but if Cheyenne is alive then we will handle it when the time comes, but right now I want my mate, Holly. I am going to sit in this chair in our bedroom and wait right here until she comes up here. Better yet, I am also going to turn the light off and f*****g jump her ass when she walks into the bedroom.

The Moon Goddesses P.O.V

When I was summoned I assumed the worst, but it wasn’t that bad. I thought that they would take my powers away and reverse my decision, but instead they lectured me and told me that I should have never let Cheyenne go back. I knew they were right, but she’s back now and I can’t just take her away. They did however tell me that I needed to make sure that everything goes well and then Cheyenne can stay with her mate, but there was a catch and I didn’t have a clue how I was going to do it. I had to somehow make Ace a member of Mercury’s mafia. How in the world am I going to pull that off without going against his freewill?
