Chapter 804

Judy’s Perspective

A wave of relief washed over me when I spotted Nan bustling around the packhouse kitchen, working side by side with her mate. They seemed so perfectly in their element, radiating happiness and ease, and despite the knot of anxiety twisting in my stomach, their presence brought a small, genuine smile to my lips.

Nan caught sight of me standing in the doorway, and her face brightened instantly.

“Judy, hey!” she called out, setting down whatever she was doing and making her way toward me.

“Hey,” I replied softly, wrapping my arm around her and leaning into the warmth of her embrace. After everything that had unfolded today, seeing a familiar, comforting face was exactly what I needed. My mind was a chaotic mess of emotions and questions, and I desperately wanted to confide in someone—my best friend. “It’s really good to see you. Honestly, I didn’t expect you to be here.”

“I closed up early for a convention, so I thought I’d come help out here,” she explained, stepping back just enough to study my face. But when she noticed the tension there, her smile faded and concern crept in. “Hey, what’s going on? You look like you’ve been through hell.”

I swallowed hard, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill. “It’s been an emotional day… a lot to unpack.”

Nan seemed to understand without me having to say more. She glanced over at her mate, Chester, then asked, “Can you manage things here for a bit without me?”

Chester gave a quick nod, flashing her a thumbs-up.

She blew him a playful kiss before turning back to me, slipping her arm through mine and gently guiding me away from the kitchen. As we passed other packmates, I caught their curious stares—some nodded politely, others smiled with recognition. I hadn’t frequented the packhouse much before, but now that I was stepping into my role as Luna, I realized I needed to be more present here.

The parlor was far larger than the one in the villa, designed to accommodate the many gatherings and events held in the packhouse. Fortunately, there wasn’t a major event going on right now, so only a handful of people were scattered around the room.

Still, I could hear some activity coming from the back of the building, suggesting something was happening there. Neither Gavin nor I had planned to attend, but now that I was here, I thought maybe I’d stay a while—enjoy some company, maybe get to know more of the packmates.

Nan eased me down onto one of the plush couches, her arm still linked with mine.

“Alright, spill it. What happened today?” she urged gently.

I exhaled deeply, then began to unravel everything. I shared every detail my parents had told me about my birth mother, and despite my better judgment and the promise I’d made to Erik, I also confided in her about him and Irene.

By the time I finished, Nan’s jaw was practically hanging open in disbelief. It felt like a weight lifted off my chest to finally say it all aloud. She had listened intently, never interrupting, though I suspected she was too stunned to find words.

“Wait, hold on,” Nan finally said, eyes wide. “Irene was a siren? Like, an actual siren? I didn’t even know those existed!”

“Neither did I,” I admitted, biting my lower lip nervously. “I’m just… not sure what to do next.”

Nan shrugged thoughtfully. “You were right to think the Alpha should know. He deserves to be informed, and maybe he can help. He’s incredibly powerful, after all. But as for your parents—going straight to the Blackwells might not be the best move. What exactly would you ask them? They might not know anything about your birth mother. If the rumors are true, your birth mother doesn’t speak much. From what you’ve told me, it seems like the Blackwells had little to no contact with her, and barely any with your adoptive parents either.”

“So, what do you think I should do?” I asked, desperate for guidance.

Nan paused, considering, then her eyes lit up with an idea.

“Erik mentioned he saw a Seer, right? Is that someone he trusts?”

I shrugged uncertainly. “I’m not sure. He didn’t say much about them.”

“Well, maybe he can recommend one. If anyone can look into your past and help you find your family or answers, it’s a Seer. I’ve heard they’re pretty accurate, though their insights usually come at a price. But maybe Erik knows a Seer who’ll help you out without charging too much.”

I hadn’t even thought about consulting a Seer before. That was why I turned to Nan—she always seemed to have good ideas. For the first time all day, I felt a flicker of calm. I had a plan: I would see a Seer, try to uncover who my birth mother really was, and find out if she was still out there somewhere.

“Will you come with me?” I blurted out before I could stop myself. “I don’t know if I can do this alone.”

Nan’s face lit up with enthusiasm.

“Absolutely. Just tell me when, and we’ll go together. I can take some time off if I need to—I am the boss, after all. I can pretty much do whatever I want,” she said with a playful wink.
