âYes, the Alpha and I would be coming over for the fitting of the dress soon. Okay, have a nice eveningâ I said and got off from the call with my wedding dress designer.
The day had been really stressful for me due to the planning of our big day. My eyes moved over to the bed, and I wondered why Xavier had not come back from wherever he went to
I checked the time on the wall clock and as if he could sense my worry, the door opened and he made his way into the house.
âWhere were you baby? I was about to file a missing person reportâ I told him, and he chuckled.
âI was in my study room, you know am supposed to be the one filling that report right? You have been away since the morningâ he said sweetly as he k*ssed my l*ps.
âI have been preparing for the wedding, mind telling me what has been keeping my man busy?â I asked and he sighed tiredly.
âI actually had a sad day. Jax and I share a sister, and we decided to break the news to her todayâ he uttered and I just stared at him calmly.
âPoor Tasha, how did it go?â I asked him, and I gestured for him to sit down first.
âIt wasnât pleasant. After all, nob*dy will jump up excitedly at the knowledge of Carlos being their biological father. Carlos is not someone to be proud ofâ he stated and my heart ache in hurt them.
âShe cried a lot, she even went as far as cursing out loud. It wasnât easy on herâ he said as he sent his hands to his n*eck while trying to take off his tie.
âIâm pretty sure it is going to be hard for her at first,but she will definitely come around. It is not easy to accept someone like that into your life, after knowing that the life you have lived all your life was a lie is another hard bone to chewâ I said as remembered when Dad showed up after years of abandoning me. Well, he later explained his reasons for not showing up and tried his best to make up for it.
My heart squeezed with hurt at the thought of us not being in good terms, I miss my dad and I wish things will go back to normal between us.
âWhat are you thinking about?â Xavier asked as he pulled me on his laps.

one of themâ¦â I trailed calmly.
âHe still doesnât wanna talk to you?â Xavier asked curiously.
âI think he was dead serious when he told me it was over between us as father and daughterâ I mumble as tears rolled out of my eyes.
âI still want to believe he would come around sweetheartâ Xavier reassured rubbing my shoulders as I cried.
âI donât know how to feel, it is so sad to see us turning into strangers as the day roll byâ I sobbed and he pulled me into his arm in a comforting hug.
âDeep down, I still believe he will come around. What he needs is time and spaceâ Xavier reassure me, and I decided to give it a thought.
After all, dad isnât taking it easy on himself with the business too. Ever since I left, he has been struggling to make the company stable it all by himself. I have been waiting for the stubborn old man to make a decision but he wonât.
âCome here. Letâs go have dinner, freshen up and get some sleepâ Xaiver tell me, making a bright smile appear on my l*ps.
We had dinner at late hours and decided to shower together, which ended in a hot S*xual sesson in the bathroom. We retired to bed and cuddled close to each other.
I played with his hair as he slept. The stress line on his forehead and how peaceful he looked made tears roll out of my eyes.
I raised my eyes upwards as I tried to control the tears that was coming out of my eyes. A lot of things are happening in the pack, new enemies keep rising out of the shadows everyday. What id the worse that can happen?? I got down from the bed and frowned, My throat is dried, I am so dehydrated, I sighed as I decided to go and get a bottle of water from the fridge downstairs.
Turning to see if my man was still asleep, I made my way out of the room quietly. I got the water from the fridge, and that is when I heard someone making a phone call.
âDonât tell me that bullsh it, if you wonât do it fine. Just get ready to see the outcoine, you should know by now that I donât give empty threatsâ she talk to the other person and I raised
my eyebrows curiously.
That was aunt Maggieâs voice. What is the woman still doing awake at this time, and even making a suspicious phone call.
âI will f ucking kill youâ she said shocking me to the bones. I have never heard her so serious my entire life.

âDonât call me if you are not ready for whatever we have planned outâ she said and ended the call.
I stayed there and watched her walk back into her room, I rubbed my forehead with shock still written all over my face.

What if aunt Maggie was one of the enemies and we had no idea about it? I have never for once trusted this woman. Infact, I have been suspecting her since the very day I found out she bullied my son.
Telling Xavier is not even in my mind, because he might not believe and I knew him well enough to know that he is not prepared for the level of heartbreak. My man hasnât fully recovered from the one he faced with Jayden, adding his aunt own is was like icing a cake.
I needed more than just words to convince him Aunt Maggie was up to no good. That woman have a lot up her sleeves, and it is up to me to reveal to him, the kind of person that she is.
I made a me ntal note to involve Jax in this new game.

âYou guys come back pretty late, I thought it is just a dinner with the Alpha?â Lina asked curiously.
âWe used that opportunity to tell Tasha the truth about her connection with the Royal familyâ Jax said as he sat down on the chair with a thud.
âHow did she take it? How did your mom take it?â Lina asked.
âMom have been quite the entire time, and Tasha have not left her room since we came backâ Jaxon replied her, as he sighed softly.
âHearing someone telling you how your whole life has been a lie, is not an easy thing to acceptâ Lina said and he responded by silently affirming with a nod.
âYou need to see how heartbroken she was, I have never seen my sister in so much pain mâ he stated as he stood up from the couch.
âI believe with time, her wounds will healâ Lina encourage me from where she stood.
âHow is life treating you?â Jax asked and she sighed softly.
âI
guess am getting back myself. It has not been easy though, there are times I think about the past and cry myself to sleepâ she said and he just stared at her calmly.

âBut then, I canât continue leaving in regrets. I must move on if I want to have a bright future for myselfâ she replied, and he acknowledged her words with a subtle nod.
âIâm glad you see the need to move on,a as much as I see itâ Jax reassured her and she nodded.
âThanks Jax, goodnightâ she said and walked towards her room.
Jax stared at her retreating figure for sometime, before deciding to check on his mom.
Ask he was about to enter her room, he could hear her sniffs from the door itself.
âMotherâ he said as he quickly open the door to her room, and he watch as she wipe away her tears quickly.
âSonâ she said and Jaxâs heart squeezed in hurt.

âYou are still crying??â he asked and she shook her head immediately as she sniff in back her tears.
âNo am not crying, I just have something in my eyesâ she said sniffing.
âYou are cryingâ he mumbled and she burst out crying.
âYes, yes am crying. Iâm crying because a lot of things are out of my control, am crying because of my daughter is in pain. âShe trailed, as she cried bitterly.
â¦.
âIt is not your fault. Even if you try to blame yourself for itâ Jax said and she gave a nod.
âI miss your father, I miss his love and his wise wordsâ she lamented said crying.
âI know I canât be better than father in your life, but I want you to move on from the painful memoriesâ he told his mother, and she cried harder.
âHis memories are all I have left Jaxonâ she said as she cried bitterly.
âYour father was taking away from us early, he didnât get the chance to even actualise most of his dreamsâ she trail as she smiled sadly.
âAll I want for you to be happyâ She said and I chuckled softly
âAll I pray is for all of us to be happy. After all we deserve it âJax encourage his mother and she smiled
