All Chapters of Hanging in the balance: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“Maybe you should give them a chance?” Sasha asked looking back into the room with all her friends. Staring at her unexpected words. “Why would you say such a thing?” Scarlett asked her, “Seems you and I are in the same boat now. If you meet yours I will seek out mine?” Sasha offered, Scarlett thought it over for a moment then nodded her head at her friend as they embraced. One another. “Wonderful!, Then it is settled. When do we travel to them?” Lydia asked in excitement, “Babe chill.” Mikael said nervously. “It’s okay Mik, I’ve never seen her this excited before,” Scarlett said amused at Lydia’s indifference to the situation she was in. “And besides, I didn’t get all the information I wanted, you’re a demi-goddess what is your father? What is your mother? We know your grandparents made the Earth.” Lydia was now showing signs of a mad scientist in the midst of a breakthrough in her experiment. “I think Gabriel is right. Perhaps we should all get some rest? Good luck Mikael.” She

JACKSON’S POV “Sasha, what the hell was yesterday all about?” Jackson asked his mate, Ever since they got into Gabriel’s car the previous night she had been nothing short of distant, she wouldn’t even mate with him and that to him was a big red alert that something was terribly wrong. “We already concluded that it was misplaced anger.” She said to him in an attempt to kill the conversation but Jackson was having none of it. “Did you see how powerful she is, what if you said the wrong thing in the wrong tone or she actually took offense to the shit you were sprouting?!” he yelled at her hoping that his words would knock some sense into her. “Jackson, it’s over. Let the events of the past stay where they belong, in the past.” She said back to him as she walked off into the woods removing her clothing, he walked after her removing his own clothing as he saw she was going to shift and take a run in wolf form. They could still communicate via pack link. “We’re not done with this conve

It’s been two days since Scarlett had the dream about her other self turning Gabriel into a vampire. She was still full of wonder about how that came to be, she so badly wanted to call on her father to get some answers but she refrained from doing so. She wasn’t sure if it was a matter of pride or if she was still angry that they sent her away regardless of their good intentions. They forced her to live a lie. The alternative was to dream walk to Scarlett and confront her about her lie, but what if Sasha’s fears came true and that caused them more danger than resolving her curious problem? She would never forgive herself if anything happened to her mate and friends because she followed her head instead of her heart. Gabriel was in a similar predicament, deep in thought himself, wondering if contacting Helle would answer all their unanswered questions, but he didn’t want to disrespect his mate or piss her off by any means if their last encounter with her wrath was any indication then

“Right now that you animals have filled your bellies can we get to the fun stuff?” Jackson asked as he looked around the dinning table in his pack house. That made Scarlett laugh. “And Gabriel called us a circus.” She said shaking her head, “Can see where he get’s his sense of humor from.” Sasha chirpped in. And everyone laughed. Sasha reached for the first Enveloped that read DNA on it, she gulped loudly as she took the folded page out of it. It wasn’t so much the names she was looking for, she wanted to know what species her parents were. “Hmm, seems like my birth mother was a shifter and my dad was a werewolf.” The news pissed Jackson off, the thought that a wolf threw his pup away was unacceptable to the Alpha king and something he was itching to remedy right away. “Your dad must have been an Alpha for you to be mated to one.” Gabriel offered making Sasha blink rapidly. Lydia, Scarlett and Mikael sat quietly at the table waiting for Sasha to say something or open the other envel

The next day everybody was once again in Scarlett’s apartment “Hey Mikael, when do we get to have a meeting at your place?” She asked him annoyed that once again everyone was standing in the small flat. “Whenever you wish Majesty.” He said with a hint of amusement in his voice. “Can we go now?” She asked him itching to get out of her flat. “Yeah, I have never seen your place either,” Jackson said with curiosity on his face. I don’t think anyone but Gabriel has seen his place Lydia said with a frown on her face too.” This causes the vampires to laugh. “Prepare to be amazed,” Gabriel said as they all filed out and into their own personal vehicles following behind Mikael who had Lydia as his passenger. At this point, everyone was confused as Mikael had driven past the bayou where Jackson’s pack was and Past the area where Lydia’s cottage was. They turned off onto a dirt road and drove so far into the woods that they ended up at the foot of a mountain when Mikael finally stopped his
