All Chapters of Family Secrets (Book 2 The Silver Dragon Series: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Derek I can feel Davina’s worry. She doesn’t know her sister yet and already feels the need to try and preserve what family she has left. I will do all that I can to ensure she doesn’t lose a sister on top of everything else she has lost. I wake before Davina due to the broken sleep I got last night. She struggled to get to sleep, tossing and turning throughout the night. I can hear movement outside and decide to join who ever it is and let her sleep a little longer. I quietly close the door behind me and notice it’s Kale and River. “Good morning Derek. I hope you slept well,” says Kale. “Not really though that has to due with Davina not being able to get to sleep last night.” “Katerina was the same way last night. She wouldn’t stop tossing and turning, it was driving me nuts.” I can’t help but laugh. The girls sound as if they are twins. “So how did you end up here in the fairy realm? From what we were told it was just Katerina that was brought here.” “I was approached by a spi

Maliyah Something is up. I can tell everyone is worried about something and River is trying to distract me from finding out. I catch mom and the others glancing over this way several times and I can tell River is aware I noticed. “What is going on River?” “Honestly they haven’t told me anything but I can something is troubling our parents. I think it’s best you just let them handle whatever it is Maliyah.” “But I can help. I am stronger than everyone thinks.” “I don’t doubt that one bit cousin but how do you think your mother would feel if she lost you and Malayah?” I hate that he is right. I can’t risk my life, it would kill my mother if we both were lost. But that doesn’t mean I can’t help to save my sister. I promised to not abandon her and I won’t break that promise. I am distracted in my I thoughts that I am not focusing on my parents conversation but I can tell River has been. His head snaps up in their direction and I see a hint of sadness and anger in his eyes. He hear

DerekOne of the first things I did upon arriving back home is accept Katerina and her family into the pack. This way they will be protected. What I didn’t expect was for River to find his mate so quickly and for it to be Katherine. I know she has been searching for a long time but gave up hope of ever finding him. Now we know why, he wasn’t even in the same realm as her. Watching River and Katherine interact reminded me of my first time seeing Davina. She may have not quite recognized the bond but Nero and I sure did. Nero has been pacing and whimpering in my head non-stop, once we read that Malayah’s wolf had been killed. Despite her suffering I knew it must’ve helped to have her wolf with her to talk to her. Davina told me Malayah had tried taking her life twice but was not successful because of the witches they have on hand. It kills me knowing my daughter is trying to kill herself rather than be used by them all because we can’t find her. I am failing her. I notice Mark returnin

Malayah I have been heartbroken when I could no longer feel Maliyah. One minute I could feel the connection and then the next it disappeared. I have been trying for weeks to get through to her knowing it is futile. Something was done to Maliyah to sever our connection permanently. I can feel she is alive but I can no longer communicate with her. I now feel more alone than ever before. I wish I had listened to Derek and stayed away from Enzo. I realize now Derek has been a father to me all along and now I may never see him or my family again. I ruined everything. I walk over to the mirror that is in my room. My hair is badly matted and you can visibly see my cheek bones from the weight loss. I have many scars all over. I need to do something. I can’t keep letting them use me but I don’t know what to do. I already tried killing myself, twice, but the witches just keep healing me. I don’t want to kill anyone else. I hear the door to my room unlock and rush to the far corner. “How is

Tears stream down my cheeks as I nod, acknowledging what he is telling me. I will never see my family again. Leila nuzzles me, trying to comfort me as best she can. I have screwed up royally and it has cost me my life, but if I can save someone in the process at least some good will come out of my mistakes. “Who can I save?” “There are two people close to you that are not going to survive this war. Keila and Maliyah.” “What? My sister dies too?” “She had another path laid before her but with every decision the path changes. Maliyah’s path has changed and she will fall.” I struggle with the decision. I can’t let my mother lose both of us. I feel like I will be a horrible person if I choose my sister over Derek’s sister. But the longer I think about it I know in my heart Derek would understand and Keila would sacrifice herself for one of us in a heartbeat. “What happens to them?” “Thomas will kill Keila. This could change but she would need to make a decision for this to not occu
