"Excuse me, but what?"
I could see the bewilderment in Taylor's eyes when Destiny didn't give him the chance to explain what he said and grabbed his hand.
(DESTINY'S POINT OF VIEW)
When I heard what Taylor said to Feliz, I rushed over to him, took his hand in mine, and whispered to him,
"WHAT?"
"Can you tell me what's wrong?"
"That's impossible Taylor!"
"I don't grasp what's impossible."
"SHE CANNOT BE YOUR MATE,"
"Why?"
"She isn't even a werewolf!"
"That can't be true! I can smell her wolf, and I know she's my mate because I've felt a connection with her."
"I'm sure there's a problem."
"Perhaps no one is aware of her werewolf status."
"Her mother was murdered by werewolves, therefore it's impossible, she despises werewolves. I didn't even inform her that I had turned into one."
"I'm going to solve this puzzle."
(FELIZ'S POINT OF VIEW)
I was aware that Destiny and Taylor were having an unusual conversation. It was unusual how she grabbed the guy and they were whispering together. She was in a state of shock on the way home. She didn't say anything the whole trip. I offered her to lunch, but she declined, stating that her mother will be late for work today, and she needs to be at home before her younger brother returns from school. To be honest, I didn't believe it, but I didn't want to embarrass her by asking her again.
(DESTINY'S POINT OF VIEW)
-At Destiny's house:
Because of her strong relationship with Alpin (Feliz's mother), I was curious to ask my mother if she knew anything when I got home.
"Can I ask you a question, Mom?"
"Sure, honey, anything"
"Does Feliz have the potential to be a werewolf?"
I can see my mother's amazement, like if she knew something, and I witnessed how speechless she went when I asked her.
"Why- why are you inquiring?"
""Mother, if you have any information, please share it with me."
" Why would I hide anything?"
"Okay, got it"
Now I'm sure mum knows something, and I had to do the thing I despise the most, which is going through my mother's old belongings and photos without her knowledge.
I waited until my mother had left the home before proceeding. I crept into her room and began searching for anything that could lead me to the truth. Nothing was found when I opened every drawer and inspected every book. Until I discovered a small box concealed in my mother's closet. And what I witnessed astounded me. I took a picture of what I saw and emailed it to Taylor. You're undoubtedly curious as to what the photo is about. It's a photo of my mother, Alpin, and Lucas, Taylor's father, who was the pack's alpha before Taylor took command. Before my mother returned, I cleaned up the mess I'd created and went straight to the pack house.
Thousands of thoughts passed through my mind on the drive to the pack's house. Hundreds of inquiries. Why would Alpin be in the company of an alpha? What is my mother's plan for him? What exactly were they up to? What kind of connections did they have? That is just incomprehensible!
Because of all these thoughts and questions, my head was about to explode.
I was on the verge of going insane.
My mother is acquainted with Taylor; why didn't she inform me that she is acquainted with his father?
I'm trying to figure out why my mother was mute when I asked about Feliz. I'd like to connect the dots, but the problem is that I'll need additional dots to reach the truth.
Because, based on what I've seen, discovering the truth will be a long and difficult process. God alone knows how many roadblocks we'll face.
I went straight to Taylor's room when I got at the pack's house. I didn't knock when I opened it. Taylor interrupts my cognitive process at this point:
"How are you doing today? I believe you should've knocked on an alpha's door."
Did I say he wasn't wearing a shirt?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I don't think you got my message, did you?"
"I haven't checked my phone yet, but you wouldn't get into your alpha's room like that if it wasn't important, would you?"
"without a doubt."
"I assumed you were enjoying the view ha?"
"Please just put a shirt on."
He laughed and went to put on his shirt.
"Are you going to tell me why you're in such a hurry?"
"Take a look at what I discovered."
I handed him my phone.
"Wait! Isn't that my father there? What exactly is he up to with your mother? "And who is this lady in the middle?"
"I've been asking myself the same things."
"How did you come across it?"
"There was a little box in my mother's wardrobe with a lot of ancient necklaces and this photo in it."
"Wait, I'm starting to go insane.What was the point of going into your mother's closet in the first place?"
"What you told me about Feliz earlier piqued my interest, so I asked my mother, and her lack of response piqued my interest even more."
"Do you recognize this lady?"
"Alpin Svensen. Feliz's mother."
"Please pardon me?! It's only the beginning, and I'm starting to lose my mind thinking about what may happen if we dug further. I'm gonna go insane!"
"There is only one individual who can assist us in obtaining answers. Lucas Lowell. "
We entered his father's room.I felt compelled to kneel the instant we walked in; perhaps it was instinct, but I did so.
I looked this wise, old man in the eyes and he stated,
"Lily's daughter."
I was stunned.
"Wait! What?!"
