CHAPTER 122 TIME FOR THE TRUTHTEDDY'S P.O.VI paced the floor once we were back in my wing debating on if this was the right course of action. If I called Darion and told him, our father would obviously try coming too. But if I called and demanded his appearance without an explanation he would be livid and come with an attitude. Not that his attitude scared me one bit, I just wasn't sure what the best route was to take."I strongly believe you should call him," I said to Fredrick."Me? He hates me, that's a bad idea.""He hates me more," I replied defensively."But now you're his queen so he HAS to obey." He replied with a chuckle."Doesn't mean he will like it. He may not even answer.""What if I call?" Helena suggested. "He was never nice to you, Hell," I said in response."Well then y'all can decide but as far as who should call, it doesn't matter. Just do it." She said in her mother-hen voice."Fine," I replied, taking my phone out. "What about a text?" I asked looking up."Call
CHAPTER 123 NO REACTIONFENIRS'S P.O.VWe got up early the next day in order to prepare for what was to come. Teddy was already sitting at the desk lost in her own thoughts, trying to gather what she should say. It was about to be a hell of a long day between Teddy trying to figure out the truth as to why her mother was stuck in the past and what happened in the past that was haunting her so badly. Then of course the fact that she inevitably is going to have to tell her Father, Drake, and oldest Brother, Darion, that Marci was still very much alive."How would you break the news to people you don't care to really even talk to?" She asked, looking over to me.I was stuck because personally, I would just drop the news like a bombshell. But in order to get the information she is seeking that may not be the correct way of going about it."Well since we are needing valuable information that could help us with Marci I would say we discuss the topic we need first. We need to focus on that fi
CHAPTER 124 GETTING SOMEWHERETEDDY'S P.O.VIt appeared we were getting nowhere. She looked at him and had no reaction. As if she didn't even know who he was. If he wasn't the man she was hiding her baby from then who was she hiding Darion from? I don't understand how she could recognize a baby, my baby, who I think looks nothing like Darion but doesn't recognize the adult version of that said baby or the man who helped create him. My father looked the same, only now with some aged wrinkles and salt-pepper hair.It didn't help that he could no longer talk so he was unable to speak to her. If I had known then what I knew now...No, I still would've reacted how I did. He deserved it, he actually deserved more than that, truth be told."Marci, do you recognize this man?" I asked as I approached."Don't be disrespectful, call her Mom." Darion tried demanding.My eyes shot over to glare at him."Try demanding one more thing from me, Darion. Go on." I said in a sinister tone. "Is that a thr
CHAPTER 125 LET'S GET DIGGINGTEDDY'S P.O.VWhen we settled in my father looked as if he would rather die, taking this secret to the grave than to tell us.Darion stood up from his chair after some time had passed and our father still hadn't touched the pen. He grabbed our father's left hand, pulling the middle finger backward."Start writing, or I start breaking!" He screamed.It was a little unsettling watching how angry Darion was. Was he afraid that his position could be at stake? I know that I did worse by removing our father's tongue but the difference between us was that he and Darion had always been close. At least that's what I thought up until I found Darion fucking his chosen mate, Jessie.You could see the fear lingering in his eyes as Darion slowly bent his finger back even further."I'm not playing around old man, enough secrets. Our mother, who I thought was dead up until 15 minutes ago, is laying in a hospital bed in a psychotic state rambling about a son that isn't Fr
CHAPTER 126 HIDDEN BROTHERTEDDY'S P.O.VI shifted through the paperwork she had in the tote. There were stacks and stacks of papers that all led us nowhere. I wished I knew exactly what it was that she was doing to find him. Anything that could lead us the right way. But all that has been found so far were papers of addresses to several homes in three different states. There was also the adoption paperwork mixed in as well, which was absolutely useless. It only stated it was a closed adoption."This is all a bunch of nonsense. Why so many different addresses?" Fredrick asked as he sat a paper down."Let's start by separating each state and narrow down what her goal was?" I countered, thinking about what it was she was doing."There are like three states here," Darion said with a sigh."Well if we separate the states we can look into each pile to figure out what her thought process was," I replied as I began to separate the papers in my hand into piles.I know I should be thinking abo
CHAPTER 127 HE IS ALIVE?TEDDY'S P.O.VWe made it to the first house but to no surprise, it was an elderly couple that resided there now. They had never even heard of a Trystan before. With only limited information, we had no other choice but to move on to the next home. But the next home was boarded up. At this point, I believed the hunt was not in our favor. With it so far being 0 for 2 with only one more home left, it was leaving us with little to no hope."We only have one more home left, what if it's a bust too?" Darion asked when we got to the car."Then we may not find him. Especially not knowing his last name. It has been twenty years since he could have resided in one of these homes. He could be anywhere at this point." I said as I pulled my phone out of my bag to call Fenirs to give him yet another disappointing update. After a few rings the line connects.-That was fast, I'm guessing it was a no-go as well?--This one didn't even have any residents at all. The house was bas
CHAPTER 128 MEETING HIMTEDDY'S P.O.VEverything still felt off. This woman was too pippy, too excited, and far too fake for me to believe what she was saying. I only sat there in silence listening to her ramble on about how blessed she was to have been Trystan's mother."We knew y'all would come one day." She said as she glanced at the clock for the sixth time in 15 minutes."How?" I asked but really I was trying to get a better read on her.Why was she so skittish and jumpy? Did she know something that she was trying to hide?"Awoman came who looked just like you years ago.""Was her name, Marci?" Darion randomly asked."The name sounds familiar but all I knew was she looked like you." She said, turning to look at me. I still remained silent while trying to figure her out. The way she kept looking at me and at the clock made me a little uneasy."We turned her away and told her he was too young and we weren't ready for him to know the truth yet. She left with an understanding.""So
CHAPTER 129 WHERE IS MY MATE?FENIRS'S P.O.VTeddy never disconnected the call. All I heard when the line connected was 'How may I help you?' from a feminine voice before the line went static and then muffled. But not once did it disconnect. Did she accidentally call? Or did she want me listening in? I wasn't sure and I wasn't going to take a chance, so I decided to mute myself and remain on the phone to listen.I was at home working in the office while Elias was happily playing on the floor in his play-mat entertaining himself with his toys. I put the phone on speaker and continued to work while trying to listen in on what was being said. I couldn't hear much because of how muffled the background sounds were. However, what little I was able to hear sounded like Teddy questioning someone. It seemed as if she were suspicious of something, but I couldn't hear enough of the conversation to really know what she was suspicious about or why. All of a sudden, what felt like panic coursed thr
