The Alpha's Unknown Daughter

Chapter Five - Consequences

"You are just lucky that I am in such a good mood now that I have my baby back and I know she is safe," Tyra said as he opened his eyes, and she came into focus.

She looked refreshed and her eyes sparkled with more light than before. The sight made him smile in relief. Tyra's face was beautiful and held far more beautiful when she smiled like she was now.

He had slept with his back against the door so that no one could come or go without him knowing. He hadn't meant to fall asleep though.

"I suppose it is a time I started to tell you and your parents about the events that took place after I left the pack so many years ago." She said and he was again stunned at her openness. He had expected her to protect herself and that he would have to work on the walls around her heart.

He followed Tyra downstairs in stunned silence. Had she become this strong without him? His mother and father were already up. Jasmine wasn't. He could hear her even breathing from here. Good, they were likely things that were going to be said that they wouldn't want her to hear.

" Come. Let me tell you what happened before you start asking questions, or someone lies in an attempt to use you against me and my baby." She said, surprising both his mom and dad with her dominant tone. Most wolves averted their eyes when they came face to face with their alphas, even retired.

They all followed her into the living room. He knew he was going to hate himself after hearing this, but it would give him clues as to what was going on, so he would endure. He had to know what had happened and this was the first step.

"It all started when I found out I was pregnant with Jasmine. At that point, I had given up getting an answer from you." Tyra said as she looked right at him.

"I'm sorry." He immediately said, but she just moved on dismissively.

"I immediately went to the doctor, fearing that Jasmine might have the same disease as her aunt." Tyra said before she took a deep breath, and he knew the first blow was coming.

"Those results shattered my family and started my life down a downward spiral." She said and he watched his mom and dad give each other a worried look in response. As the alphas at the time, they probably on some level felt responsible for what had happened to their charge.

"My results confused the doctors. They said that my blood had given them strange results. They had then tested my blood and found that our blood had Magik cells in it." He couldn't stop his eyes from widening.

They were the blood cells that allowed psychics and other folks to use magic. Shifters did not use that type of magic though, they never had, which meant that someone in her immediate bloodline had magical blood.

" I can tell you three have already worked it out. The only way I could have those genes was to have a magic user as a parent." She explained as his mom and dad looked at each other in complete shock.

A wolf and a magic user had never had a child before. The two had hated the other for as long as history had been written. The two species had no love for each other and often killing each other at the mere sight of their enemy.

"Father realized it instantly and immediately left the room. Mom followed after, but the evidence made it undeniable. My mother's mate was not my father. I had been conceived before my parents had become mates. " It was extremely uncommon but was possible.

Had her mother been seduced by a magic spell? The few times it had happened on record, the offended she-wolf had taken her own life in shame. Her mother had not though?

" Father couldn't forgive mother for laying with another while they had separated. He accused her of knowing I wasn't his child and keeping it from him all along to protect her reputation." Her head lowered a little farther in distress and his heart ached at the sight. She was caught in the crossfire of her mother's actions, but she was innocent.
