I almost rammed into Sam’s porch the way I sped towards his house but luckily for me, my foot crashed into the pedal instead, sparing me inches from the wood.
Sam immediately came out to see the ruckus was and was met with my blazing eyes. His body stiffened, signaled by my door slam. Emily came to join his side and stared at me with wide eyes.
“Merris,” she started, confused by my presence. She must have forgot about my cover around Sam but I didn’t give a damn anymore about that. I didn’t know who Marisol Huron was anymore, nor was I concerned with that part of my life, not when I knew I had a mother, a different father, that ended tragically. I was mad as hell that it was snatched from me.
Sam was the focus point of this all. His father, after all, screwed over my mother. He would give me answers whether he liked it or not because his dad can’t.
“Go somewhere else, Emily. This is between me and Sam.” I all but snarled. My eyes aimed at Sam like a gun.
Sam hid Emily behind his bulky build and glared back at me. “Don’t talk to her like that. She didn’t do anything to you.”
“I know,” I growled. I stomped up the porch to size up Sam, getting too close to comfort for him. He stepped back, pushing Emily farther away from me. “She doesn’t need to be here for what’s going to go down.”
“I guess I’ll, uh, go. I’m going to see Kim with the kids.” Emily excused herself, passing us with a worry full look. No doubt she was probably going to seek help.
“No, no, don’t move them. They just went to sleep. Marisol and I will go to the woods to talk this out.”
In a hurry, I followed him to the side yard where a rugged path was being carved with a narrow opening to the dense forest. Emily watched with wide eyes, not sure of what was going to happen, and I’m sure neither did Sam until I saw how cool and calculating his eyes were when he glimpsed back at me. He was planning something and it got me unnerved. Before he could make the first move, I shot off first.
“You suspected something, didn’t you, when I first came here? That’s why you didn’t like me. That’s why you advised Jacob to stay away from me. I didn’t understand why, I just assumed it was because of this complicated wolf thing you all had going on, but it didn’t add up, because of the imprint factor. I let it go and let you have your paranoia but now I know why! I can’t believe you hid it from me!”
Within the short minutes I had driving here, I pieced together all of it. Sam knew damn well about me. He knew about my true origins. Why would he want to keep it a secret? How could keep it from me? I deserved to know the truth but I had to find out the hard way. It opened painful wounds to know he kept my own identity from me, heck, even a family, if Embry and he even count.
Sam didn’t try to deny it. “How’d you even figure it out?” I interrogated.
His jaw locked. “Calm down, Marisol.” He dared to order me.
“Hell no, I’m not calming down until I get some God damned answers right now! I deserve it! Years of hell, years of confusion and hurt and you could’ve helped me out by telling me the truth but for some God forsaken reason you didn’t. Why? Why didn’t you?”
“It wouldn’t have made a difference. You lived one life. There is no reason to make it more complicated.”
“Oh, you’ll get complicated after we clear this mess up. Answer me, Sam, on why I didn’t deserve to know the truth.”
“It would hurt a lot of people. The news is better left covered. You don’t know how everyone is connected to it.”
“Enlighten me, Sam. Like how,” I circled around him.
