Chapter 375
Every one froze, but Shelly dropped down and pulled Abby to her. "Baby..." But she trailed off, because what do
you say to a child
who is too observant to be kept in the dark?

"It's okay, momma. I've known for a while now." She reached up and cupped her face. "I just wanted to spend
the best year
you and daddy so | didn't tell you | heard you and the doctor talking about me." Rick dropped down next to them
and hugged
them both to his chest
"It's going to be alright." He whispered to them, but | could tell it was to himself. He looked up at me, so ready to
believe, and |
nodded.
"| can't fix it today." | held out my hand. "But | swear | will fix it."

Shelly looked at me. "How w can you be
so sure?"
"Magic." | winked, but she shook her head. | crouched. "I can't tell you. Not before you are away from here. You
can take a vow,
Shelly, but Abby can't."
"I won't tell anyone. | swear." She looked atwith slightly wounded eyes.
"Oh sweet pea, | never thought you would tell on us. But sometimes, specially swolves, they can't help it.”
"Like when the alpha commands us to
o tell him?"?
"Exactly." | smiled.
"But what about this?" Shelly moved back. "She'd already heard all of us talk about this."
"Well, it can go two ways." | looked down at Abby. "And I'm going to allow her to decide." | smiled as | pulled her
out of her parents’ arms, letting her stand on her own. "This is a big girl's decision, so | want you to really think it
through, okay?"
Abby looked atand stood a little taller. "Okay."
"Now, anything we talk about here can't be told to anyone. Not a teacher, not the alpha, and not our friends."
She nodded. "Good girl. Now, because you are too young, the goddess will not allow you to enter into a vow. So
we have two options."
Rick shuffled closer. "What are the options?"
Shelly slid closer. "Will they hurt her?"
| smiled. "I promise they won't hurt. But because you are sick and weak." She looked down. | pushed her chin up
with my finger. "We get to use that as a hidden strength."
"How is that a strength?" She looked at me, confused.
"Option one." | held up a finger. "I can use magic to erase your memories of this room, but you will have the
feeling you loved it here and had fun. It will just seem like you were too tired to remember it fully." | poked her
nose. "Or...I could use magic to seal

your lips about the stuff that happens here, almost like a vow, but one that uses magic to seal your lips."
"What's the difference?" Rick looked at Abby. "Between the vow with the goddess, and you."
"Instead of being able to pick out the small talk and focus on the smaller things. Like | am assuming you had to
do with Vince today?" | lifted my brow, and he nodded. "She won't be able to talk about it at all."
"How will that work?"
"Because she is so sick, and Vince is the one that made her that way. He will expect her to be fragile. He will
expect her to clam up around an alpha. And if by the smallest chance he questions her...she can just say | went
to Amy's room, yawn and then turn to you or Shelly and ask to go to bed. Or play shy. Or honestly, just faint."
Abby giggled. "She will have options, just not the sas you." | held out my hands. | waved my left hand. "So
option one?" | waved my right hand. "Or option two?"
Abby opened her mouth, but Shelly jumped in. "Isn't it better if she just forgets?"
Rick looked between his wife and Abby. "I know, as a dad, | would want to just have her forget and pretend she
just fell asleep. But also as a dad, | want her to make her own choices. And goddess knows in Abby's life she
doesn't get many choices." He looked at Shelly. "I want to keep her safe. | do. But there comes a moment when
we have to let her choose Babe. She might not et many choices in her life." His last words were whispered. His
tiny truth eating away at his soul. He has been preparing for Abby to die.

Shelly looked at Abby, who stood there, so determined but patient. "I know what | want to choose, but I'll listen
to you, momma." She would still allow the adults to make her decision. "I trust you to know what's best."
| turned to Shelly but her eyes were on her daughter. | watched her fight the urge
to decide, to step in and take control, but she closed her eyes and shuddered. "No baby. This is your choice to
make. | believe in you."
Abby's face lit up. It was like she was waiting for this moment, this decision. "I don't want to forget. | want option
two."
