( POV: FALLON AEDEN RAVIA )

"A mental facility? You're telling me you think she's been locked up in a fucking psychiatric hospital for twenty years?" My voice sounds foreign to my ears. I've been motionless for God knows how long now.

I don't quite remember what happened because one minute I was trying to rush out of the room and the next I was passed out on the sofa.

Zale is pretty much squishing me in his arms, not allowing me to get up or even breathe for that matter. Raze and Laurent are standing in front of me, explaining whatever it is they know.

"Z, please, I'm fine. Just let go of me."

"Promise me you're not running out."

I sigh, "I promise."

"Okay," Zale agrees, the second he lets go of me I run to the door. I almost reach it. Almost.

If it hadn't been for Raze tripping me and then also catching me, I would've made it. "Raze, I just want to talk to them."

He cups my cheek and as fucking always, I lean into his touch, "Talk with what? Your fists? Your daggers?"

"I'm angry, yes. I'm very pissed. But mostly I'm confused. Father said he- killed her."

"I know, darling but Laurent found records to prove that he didn't. Laurent knew her."

I let Raze lead me back toward the couch as he settles beside me, his arm forcefully encircles me. For comfort. And for protection.

He's trying to protect me from me.

Laurent hands me a folder, as I open it, he begins to clarify what's in my hands. "Akira Easthill. She's written down as Kira Alize. They couldn't lie on the medical papers, they could but it would make matters difficult if the king ever decided to look into it. Since the Easthills and Alizes are connected this isn't necessarily a lie."

At the corner of the paper, I see her name. I'm learning her name for the first time. Dracio never even bothered to tell me that.

Full name: Akira Nadine Easthill
Sex: Female
Age during admission: 19
Name of contact person: Torryn Easthill

"Torryn?"

"Yes, he admitted her," Laurent replies. Raze leans over my shoulder reading along with me.

"Nineteen? When did she give birth to you?" He raises a very reasonable question.

"I don't know for sure but-"

"At her nineteenth," Zale suddenly says, surprising me with this new information. "I know that because Davina used to always complain about the fact that your mother was younger."
