"Cormac?" Rose is with Dante as we all hear him say her name.

Grandpa glances away from me, turning to Rose and then all his mates, stating, "There's something I need to tell you all..." his voice trails off, breathing in and out slowly, "...there's no easy way to explain this and I'm...sorry."

Marc tilts his head to the side, moving close and asking, "What?"

"Cormac?" Grandpa Sebby questions when a few minutes of silence pass us by. He glances to me a second later, prying further, "What is Dot talking about?"

I cross my arms beneath my breasts, staring at Dante when he captures my gaze. He looks at me hard, analyzing me while Grandpa breathes out, Rose rubbing his upper back and saying, "It's okay...please, just...tell us what's wrong."

"Rose is right," Grandpa Sebby nods, "we'll understand. This is all very new territory for us and we have to slowly move everything out into the open."

"I know," Grandpa swallows hard, and I realize then that this is hard for him, considering the way he'd found out about having a son with Abigail...what Cypher did to my mother. Grandpa finally releases a heavy sigh and says, "I was close to a vampire, before meeting any of you...up until the night I met Rose, this vampire was part of my life, a mutual relationship we shared."

"Okay..." Marc's voice trails off, a hint of jealousy hidden beneath.

Rose glances from Grandpa and then rests her eyes on me, asking, "Is that Abigail?"

Both my brows rise, glancing away as this is something he must explain. This is not for me to get in the middle of...Grandpa needs to man up and tell his mates.

Grandpa nods and replies, "Yes," he pauses, Dante arching a brow as Grandpa continues, "Abigail Ewing."

"Loose ends?" Dante asks with questions burning behind his eyes, this being the first to surface.

"I..." Grandpa's voice trailing off, wondering to myself if he even thought for a moment, he'd have this come up eventually. By the looks of it, he didn't...he forgot...

"Cormac..." Grandpa Sebby looks him over, feeling the uneasiness we all are picking up from Grandpa.

Grandpa shakes his head and replies, "When I broke things off, the moment I knew what Rose was to me, and Abigail did not take lightly to it, believing that I should have just selected her as a choice when I hadn't found my beloved for the time that passed. I'm uneasy that she might grow vengeful, that-"

"Abigail kills you, Rose," my voice breaks through, silencing Grandpa and saving him at the same time. However, Grandpa's features distort in slight horror at what I have told, though he forgets...I'm an Arin. I shrug my shoulders and tap my right temple, "Oracle, remember? I saw a vision of a woman that deceives you all...costing Rose her life."

Rose's eyes grow wide with complete and utter fear, Marc wrapping an arm around her in a protective manner. I leave out the part, that it was her anger and hate that led to the choice she made...like Grandpa said...I must separate the past from the future I know because nothing has come to pass yet.

Rose can change...I hope...for my mother's sake.

"I'll call for Alpha Keir and Luna Laura, we can-"

Marc is cut off when I say abruptly, "No."

"No?" Marc looks at me, his arm falling away from Rose as he growls, "I won't let anyone hurt my mates! I won't-"

"Easy," Grandpa Sebby grabs Marc's shoulder, pulling him back.

I tilt my chin up and stand tall, stating, "From what I've seen, she's cunning and with a large group, you're all more at risk..." my voice trails off, not wanting mistakes to happen that result in the deaths of those I never got to know...
