Chapter 165
Elijah and Kendyl both nodded in agreement with Blake’s question.
No one has ever mentioned King Whitlock had three kids. It’s always been known there were 2. Lena and Jonathon Sara added.
Well, he is a very powerful and influential person. It wasn’t hard for him to erase the existence of his kid. Especially one that went out of her way to make sure she ruined her father’s reputation.” Evelyn leaned back in her seat before continuing.
“Michael’s oldest was what you would call the epitome of a rebel. She had no understanding of rules and regulations. No matter how hard Michael and Dorothy tried, there was no caging that free spirit. Things got worse for them when their oldest daughter turned 16. The day of her birthday, she stood under the moon, and instead of transforming into a wolf and stepping up to take the throne, she told the Moon Goddess she didn’t want that life. She pretty much begged The Moon Goddess to take her wolf spirit away.”
“We all know The Moon Goddess would never force her wolf spirits onto someone. However, Michael’s daughter was born with the birthright. A birthright that would unbalance the way of life if removed. So she was given an ultimatum. As compensation, she had to produce a child to take over her birthright, or she would have to fulfill it herself. If she failed, there would be consequences.”
“To say Michael was furious was an understatement. He demanded she fulfill her duties, but the hormonal teenager agreed to the Moon Goddess terms. She was stripped of her wolf and sent on her merry way with a warning that someone would make sure she remembered her deal. Once they returned home. Dorothy convinced Michael to let their daughter calm down before they spoke to her, but that never happened because when the sun rose the next morning, their daughter was gone, never to be seen again.”
Evelyn’s story had us all sitting at the edge of our seats. I didn’t even know I was holding my breath until Rocky sighed loudly next to me, breaking my
trance.
It was eerie how quiet everyone was.
“But if she left and did not produce a child to take over her birthright, then wasn’t she punished?” Mia asked, pursing her lips.
“When no one had heard from her for a while, they knew she wasn’t coming back. Whether or not Beth was punished for her failure to comply with the Moon Goddess’s wish, no one knew. Well, someone did know, but Michael and his family didn’t. They had to move on, and the only way to do that was to give Lena the throne. After Lena’s death. Jonathon took it.” Evelyn explained.

‘As interesting as your story is, Eve, you still haven’t explained how this has anything to do with Luna Rosy. How does she fit into Whitlock’s history?” Klaus
finally spoke.
Evelyn looked at me and smiled. There was a slight cheekiness to her smile.
‘Michael’s oldest daughter was Bethany Whitlock. Aka, Bethany Peters, Rosy’s mother.”
I felt the blood drain from my face.
Did she say, Bethany Whitlock? My mother was the daughter of the King of the North?!
I could feel all eyes on me. Their stares were burning holes into me and making me uncomfortable.
‘I… She…. You….” I tried to speak, but my overwhelmed brain wouldn’t let me form sentences.
Evelyn sighed and rubbed her hands together.

“Look, I understand that this is hard for you to hear, Rosalie, but your mother was most definitely not who she told you she was. After she ran away from home, she wanted to live and have fun. Do exciting things while exploring the world that her parents blocked her out of. Beth was gorgeous, and she took the easiest way to make money and enjoy life simultaneously. Becoming an exotic dancer wasn’t her first preference, but it gave her the mo How she went from stripping to prostitution, I don’t know. I told myself it was because her raging werewolf hormones were still active even didn’t have a wolf.”
