The Moon and The Ocean

CHAPTER 34

MOON'S POV:-

It took me a moment to change my clothes. I then grabbed Ocean's hand and pulled her out of our bedroom. We walked towards the kitchen together, hand in hand. I heard the sound of her stomach growling as she inhaled the aroma of the strawberry pie ma had baked for her. I chuckled softly and shook my head seeing how cute she was. We both froze into our tracks as we captured the scent of an unknown person inside the mansion. I sniffed the air twice then my eyes glowed red and my fangs and claws grew bigger. I pushed Ocean behind me and both of us stepped into the kitchen. Seeing that unknown man inside our mansion my eyes widened in shock. I looked at Zeus who was talking with that man. Zeus looked at us and smiled while standing up.

Alpha Zeus: Ah! Moon and Ocean are here. Moon, meet your grandfather, Vincent Redford.

Alpha Zeus said in a calm tone while both me and Ocean were glued to the ground. I remembered him. It was really him. It was the same person that brought me to Vivian. And she saved my life. Of course, Zeus had already told us that he would visit us soon. I did not think it would be this much sooner.

My grandfather stood up and came to me. I was both happy and nervous at the same time. Happy because I finally got the chance to meet someone with my own blood. And nervous because I knew nothing about my bloodline and our traditions. My palms were getting sweaty. I finally understood what Ocean felt when we went to Vivian. Of course, that feeling of meeting those who share the same blood and the same DNA as yours, for the first time, it's something that can never be defined with words. It was both a magical and joyful moment of my life.

He stood in front of me and looked at me from head to toe. A satisfied smile made its way to his lips as he grabbed both of my shoulders and pulled me in a fatherly hug. What I felt was my shoulder getting wet, it was his tears that started soaking my shoulder. Tears of joy. Tears of reunion. He was patting my

back in a proud full way. He broke the hug and I saw emotions dancing in his green eyes. His eyes made me think like I was looking into a mirror that shows the future. Like I was looking at my older self.

Vincent Redford: Look at you. It almost feels like yesterday when your mother was in labour and I heard your sweet melodious voice for the first time. Now look at you. You are a fully grown man standing in front of your old grandfather.

My grandfather said with teary eyes. Hearing him, my eyes also filled with salty water. He cupped my face with both of his hands and wiped my tears with the pads of his thumbs. He patted my cheek then turned to look at ma and pa.

Vincent Redford: Mr and Mrs Kart, I can never thank you enough for taking care of my Moon. To give him the family that was snatched away from him when he was born. I know, I would never have given him anything that you have given him. Don't think that I am here to take him away. He is part of your family. I just want to see my grandson sometimes whenever I feel lonely. I don't have anyone in my family except for him.

My grandfather said with a shaky voice that hinted how broken and weak he had become. I knew the person who had taken me to Vivian was a strong man. But this man was both weak and broken. I could not blame him. He had lost his child. I could not imagine his pain. Pain of losing someone precious. I could see how much he had suffered because of that old bastard. I did not know what to do. I also knew that he was Ocean's biological father. And I did not have courage to ask her what she thought of her demon father.

Maria: Moon is equally yours as he is ours Mr Redford. He is your blood. You can come here anytime to see your grandson.

Ma said in a calmed tone and my grandfather nodded his head. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Darek: Moon and Zeus are equal for us. As we think of Zeus, Moon is exactly the same for us.

Pa said while patting the back of Zeus. Zeus chuckled softly and shook his head.

Alpha Zeus: Well, to be honest, Moon is more important for all of us in this family than any of us.

Zeus said and my grandfather nodded his head. In all our chats we actually forgot about Ocean. She was standing in the corner of the kitchen. I turned to look at her with a frown on my face when I smelled fear. In a blink of an eye, I was standing beside her. I rubbed her back that made her look at me. It was like she had seen a ghost in front of her. I was sure Ocean could never be afraid of my grandfather. I did not understand why she behaved like that. I whispered her name softly and that was when she looked at me.

It felt like I had woken her up from a dream. More like a nightmare she was having. She looked at all of our faces for a good minute then she took a few steps backwards. Before I could grab her hand to stop her, she ran away from the kitchen, leaving us all shocked with her puzzled behavior.

Vincent Redford: I think she did not like me. Or else she would not run away like this.

My grandfather said in a disappointed tone. He was sad because of Ocean's behavior. I almost felt angry at her for doing something so stupid. Before I could go out and mess everything up between us, Zeus stopped me. I looked at him and he shook his head.

Alpha Zeus: You stay with your grandfather. He is here to meet you, Moon. Let me go and talk to her. I am sure there must be a reason behind her inappropriate behavior. You know her well, she never does that.

Zeus said to me in a worried tone. I nodded my head and went back to my grandfather. Zeus excused himself and went after Ocean to find out the reason behind her childish behavior.
