Discovering My Heritage

Chapter 5

As we enter the sitting room. Phoebe has tea, coffee and scones set up for us. There is a nice tan love seat with a wooden coffee table in the center and twin matching tan velvet armchairs.

There is a beautiful simple fire place in the corner. This room opens up to a large living room with a huge tv and sectional. This home is probably three times the size of my small cottage.

Phoebe sits on the loveseat. August sits down next to her. He looks at me and nods.

I smile at them both shyly. August then looks at Phoebe. He tells her that I have a few things to explain to her. She nods in agreement.

  Phoebe I would like you to listen to everything I have to say. Please keep an open mind. Wait to ask all your questions until the end. I will try she says.

  I then begin to tell her my story. As you know I grew up in the orphanage on Harvest moon territory. I was left there at the age of three.

I knew nothing of my history till recently. I grew up believing I was human. On my twenty first birthday. I transformed into my other form.

  She buts in you smell human. I grin at her and tell her I am getting to that. Like I was saying. I transformed the night of my birthday. Thankfully I was with my best friend Tiana.

  She is an elf. She explained to me that I was very rare. My kind are thought to be extinct. Most think my kind are only a myth.

  She said that she would use her magic. I would continue to seem human. Therefore I smell and seem human to everyone even my mates.

  When I find them. I would feel it. They would not because of the spell. It was for my safety. To make sure whoever I divulge my secrets to are truly trustworthy.

  I recently found my mates. I can see the wheels turning. She is starting to put everything together. August and I found out this morning that all the orphanage break ins are linked to me.

  We believe they are looking for me. They started right before I turned twenty one. When I discovered a part of who I am.

  The alpha was left with a letter to watch over me. Ms. Sarah also had a letter left to me. She had instructions to only give it to me. When I found my mate. I read that letter with August before meeting you for lunch.

  I would like you to read it also. Before I give it to you. I should clear up a few things.

I found my mates two days ago. When I was assigned to assist with this case. Phoebe you and August are both my mates.

  I have always been on my own. I am very independent. It will take me time to open up. I will try. I accept you both and look forward to getting to know you.

  I do not want to come between the two of you. I believe in being completely open and honest with each other for this to work. Also I can not transform in front of others it is to risky.

  Only my two best friends Bruce and Tiana know besides Ms. Sarah, Alpha Gordon, and now the two of you. It is best that your pack believes I am human. You will understand soon.

  Phoebe I am a Griffin. I am extremely rare. It is a possibility. I am the only one left. Here is the letter.

When you are done. We can discuss everything.  I will answer your questions. I sit back and drink my tea. I try one of the delicious cranberry orange scones.

  She looks surprised, excited and extremely curious. She glances at August. She squeezes his hand and starts to read the letter. 

After about twenty minutes. She is in tears and just finished the letter. She hands me the letter then hugs August for comfort.  She calms down a bit and takes a sip of her tea.
