"How do you know about Elena? And why now?"
Lobo asked him with suspicion, he was confused about how and when. He stood beside him with arms crossed. They give him time to explain himself before heading to the hideout. It was clear Lobo didn’t trust surprises, especially not one like this.
Marco met his gaze, unbothered.
"Because I’ve been watching her... since before all of this started, There was a time I was running for my life, trying to keep myself hidden. I had nowhere to go when Gino Laforte kept on chasing me. He is the twin brother of Rocco Laforte, Elena's father who died in prison. There's a couple who had their own scars from Elena’s family help me. They took me in, sheltered me. They had encountered Elena's clan before and vowed to stop them. But they weren’t strong enough, not alone. They needed help. Fighters and survivors. When I left my son at your school’s gate, I didn’t know I'll survived. That same day, they found me and took me. I thought I was finished. But instead... those strangers came to save me and treated me with kindness I didn’t think I deserved.
There was silence for a beat.
"Wait...son?"
Dian cut in, blinking in disbelief.
"You’re saying the child you left in our school?"
Marco turned toward Dian.
"Yes. His name is Griffin. The baby I left in your care, all those years ago. I had no one else to trust. But I knew... you and Theo would protect him if anything happened to me"
"Hold on"
Lobo interrupted.
"Are you saying... your child with Otana survived?"
"He did"
Marco said.
"They tried to end his life before it began, but they failed while Otana....."
Marco's voice cracked and he looked away while he was almost crying.
"She died bringing him into this world. She saved him with her last breath"
Lobo gasped and stumbled back a little, catching himself on the edge of a table.
"Otana... I didn’t even know your son survived"
"I kept it secret for his protection"
Marco murmured.
"I feared the bloodlines would be hunted if word got out."
"Then..."
Neve whispered, trying to connect the dots,
"that means... Griffin and Wyatt are blood cousins?"
Marco gave her a slow nod.
"They share the same bloodline with Lobo and Callen. And now Griffin has the blood of both the Moon Wolf and the Royal Vampire lines."
Dian turned to Theo.
"Theo... what happened to our family? So many bombs. Griffin deserves to know. He’ll be shattered"
Theo looked as though he wanted to say something, but his lips pressed into a grim line.
"I have something to confess"
Lobo took a step, but before he could continue speaking, he was interrupted by Griffin's call.
"Daddy, Please, hurry!"
Griffin sounds so tense.
"They’re transferring Ate Ciarra. I think this is the final move. We need backup, fast"
