Family's secrets (4)

"Your father was Valerian Moonrider."

Sophia's words echoed in Talia's head as her emotions fluctuated, curiosity mixed with relief and excitement, and it all drowned in grief when she realized that Sophia spoke about him in the past tense.

As much as the idea of Sophia and Isaac being her parents felt wrong, something about the name Valerian Moonrider called to Talia, and she wanted to know, no… she needed to know everything.

Who was her mother? What happened to her father? Based on the last name, Talia understood that the Alpha gene for the Midnight Guardians pack was coming from Sophia's side of the family.

Was Sophia behind Valerian's demise in order to become an Alpha? Was Isaac involved? Talia told herself not to jump to conclusions, but Sophia and Isaac showed that they were capable of harming others for their own selfish goals they conveniently packaged as concern for the Midnight Guardians pack.
