Brooke's POV “What!” My mother had left me to become Queen, and she and her mate lusted for my powers. “What is this, exactly? Have I been cursed? Could you tell me about the female Beta who handled my upbringing?” I asked Mariana. “I am your father’s predestined mate. When you start moving items at three. I was the one who took you to your grandmother's. Although your mother convinced you that everything I did for you was done by her instead of me. I don’t blame you, Brooke; you were just a kid, and you will always be my little girl to me. I’ve loved you since the day you were born, and I don’t need biological connections to show it. I didn’t want you to know when I came here. That is why I told you I was your maid. The only way I could get closer to my daughter was to do so.
