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
CHAPTER 130 I NEED ANSWERS!FENIRS'S P.O.VI was full of rage. How dare this arrogant man do this to his biological child not once but twice and feel guilty only once he knows her mother is still alive? But not enough guilt to tell her what he was doing. He not only betrayed her, he betrayed his sons. I don't even want to begin thinking about the betrayal he has caused the Kingdom. He would die for this.I told Lucy she could do the honor, but only once Teddy was safe at home. We don't know Trystan or what he was capable of. We also don't know if he was already affected by Iblis's sick ways.In the end, Teddy may want to kill her father herself. But I wouldn't allow that. She may hate him, but the guilt she'd carry after something like that would be hard to mentally recover from. Therefore, Lucy may be the best option for killing Drake."They were all useless when it came to knowing where she was located," Lucy said."So they blindly accepted a deal from a man they had no way of knowi
CHAPTER 131 WHAT DO YOU WANT? TEDDY'S P.O.V For some reason, my powers weren't working. It was as if the house was some form of magical vortex that wouldn't allow me to use my own gifts. And my brother was being anything but gentle. "Let's get this shit over with," His rough voice echoed out. "What do you want?" I asked as he pulled me down what seemed to be a never-ending hallway. "I don't want shit. There is nothing you can do for me." He responded more aggressively than necessary. "What is your fucking problem?" I asked as I stopped in my tracks, yanking my arm from his grasp. "Where do I even start?" He asked with a laugh. "How about what the hell you want with me and why you've taken me hostage?" "I am only doing what I was instructed to do. Nothing more, nothing less." "By Iblis?" I asked, praying to the Goddess he didn't get to him first. But I had a feeling he got to him long before I ever even knew of his existence. "By the only family I'll eve
