94-When The Twin Died
17 Years Ago:
Author’s POV:
“What is going on?” Vasquez rushed into the room upon hearing his beloved mate crying hysterically.
When he walked in, he saw Sofia Vasquez holding her baby son in her arms and crying by his body.
“What happened to him?” Vasquez grabbed her son out of her hands and watched him with fearful eyes.
“He is not moving again,” she cried, shaking, as the idea of losing her son was too much for her. “I have
been an excellent role model my whole life. I took care of all the orphans and the rogues, and this is how
the Moon Goddess has decided to re- pay me? By making my son’s life miserable?” she yelled,
scratching her fingernails into her face and leaving marks as frustration took over her.
“Where is Elex?” Vasquez yelled, looking for his loyal Omega servant. Vasquez had been a member of
the council for years, along with his mate, Sofia Vasquez. The two did great deeds together and then
gave both to beautiful twins. Until one of the twins started showing signs of decay.
It was heartbreaking for them as nobody could figure out what his illness was. Some assumed he was
supposed to die, but the parents were reluctant to let him go. They would feed him herbs and potions to
save him, but he would be back to dying after a few weeks.
“Give me my son back,” Sofia got up from the ground and stole her 9 months old son back in her arms
while the other twin rested peacefully in his crib.

see the almost dead son in Sofia’s arms.
“She has been imprisoned in the mountains of the west,” Elex stated, feeling uncomfortable with the way
the mother wasn’t letting the son die in peace.
“May I say something if you allow me?” Elex asked before Vasquez made any plans to bring the seer to
his home.
“Say what you have to say, Elex. We need good advice more than anything right now.” Vasquez watched
Sofia feed the last bit of the energy potion to her son and rest him in bed. with her. It wasn’t going to last
for much longer. In a few weeks, her son would die at last, as they had run out of the magical potion.
There were no witches left who were practic- ing magic, so they were pretty much out of luck now.
“I think the poor guy wants to leave. Don’t get me wrong, but the Moon Goddess wants him to join her
where the lost ones rest. Forcing him into stay is going to make his stay diffi- cult in this world. He will
always feel like he is not welcomed because his soul deserves on the Moon Land, with the dead spirits,”
The poor Elex didn’t want the other kids to go through the same agonizing pain of losing their brother,
watching their parents go crazy repeatedly. As he tried to make them understand it was becoming toxic,
the other kids were sleeping in their beds.
“What did you say?” Sofia asked, steadily getting up from the bed with her eyes fixated on Elex’s face.
“You want me to kill my son?” she asked, taking deep breaths. Elex instantly shook his head, as he
hadn’t under- stood how she would react to his suggestion until now.
“Honey! It is fine. He was trying to –,” As Vasquez stepped between them to keep Sofia calm, Sofia took
offence to it.
“You are siding with him?” Sofia yelled in surprise, “Why do you not have your knife against his throat
already?” She screamed, making Elex fear for his life.
“Calm down. He is not our enemy.” Vasquez held her by her arms to calm her down, but she started
crying hysterically.
“Listen to me. Elex will go find the seer himself, right, Elex?” Vasquez looked Elex in the eyes and
nodded. Elex, who had no idea if Vasquez only wanted him to say it at the mo- ment or if he was serious,
instantly nodded to reassure Sofial that he wasn’t against her keeping her son alive by force.
“Fine. Then take me to her.” Sofia cleaned her tears and ordered Elex to get on work this instant. Elex
walked out of the room and started pacing in the living room. He had no clue how they were expecting
him to get the seer when the mountain she was imprisoned at was known for the resting area of the full
grown dragons.
“Elex! Pack your stuff and start your journey. I will person- ally accompany you, along with Sofia. She
wants to be there when the seer tells us if there is a way to save our son,” Vasquez told Elex, who finally
took a deep breath of relief af- ter realizing they were not sending him off for a death mis-sion
They have called in a few caretakers and nannies for the kids while they took their sick son with them.

only focus on the sick one. For her, the others were here to stay, but her beloved sick son could leave
her at any moment, so she wanted to give him her all.
As they parked the car near the mountains, they hiked up the mountain in the cold weather. Sofia had
many hopes for this visit. If there was anyone who could help her, it had to be the blind seer.
“Huia!” Vasquez stopped before the cave where the seer was chained and called for her name.
“Ah! I knew you would come, Vasquez.” Huia spoke from inside, hinting at the fact that she had been
waiting for him.
“How are you, Huia?” Vasquez asked, pretending to be nice to her.
“I am fine. But what is it that I smell from you? Did you bring that skunk with you?” Huia’s voice hardened
as she mentioned Sofia.
“You don’t have to be so bitter to me, sister.” Sofia took a deep breath and exposed herself.
“Sister! What a shame!” Huia grunted as she recalled why she was even imprisoned.
“What brought you here to meet your evil sister?” Huia continued to talk.
“My son is dying!” Sofia whimpered as she lowered her head and watched her little son sleep with no
idea what his fate was going to be.
“Ah! He is not dying! He’s already dead,” Huia’s words ter- rified the parents, causing them to let out a
loud gasp.
