Chapter 26

Lexi POV

The pack had huddled around Rose and the hunter's around Tyler. They both had towels wrapped around their shoulders. Richard was attempting to wipe of dry blood from the side of Rose's face with a wet towel,while Richard's wife attended to Tyler's injuries which looked pretty bad. Jay looked up when I stepped though the door and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around and hugged me tightly. He then kissed my forehead tenderly. After a few seconds, he untangled himself from me and went back to sit by Rose, who sighed and let Richard do what he had to. From the glances that Tyler was sending her, I knew that all they wanted was to do was to be wrapped in each other's arms, letting each other heal. I walked over to Rose and crouched down. I then proceeded to take the cloth out of Richards hand and started to wipe the blood her face. She closed her eyes and leaned into my palm.

"Hey gorgeous. That was quite a last couple of days you have had?" Rose nodded into my palm. I gave the cloth back to Richard and stood up. I scanned the living room, noticing the absence of Freddie, Jack and Logan and Lily. I looked at Jay and he just shrugged his shoulders. I walked out of the living room and searched the others rooms but the weren't there. Where the fuck were they? After searching under beds and in closets, I sighed and walked back into the living room. Before I could sit down, Jay ushered me into the kitchen. He handed me a glass of water as I sat on the counter top. I sipped the water as Jay stood between my legs and looked over me to see if I was hurt. After he felt satisfied that I wasn't hurt, he asked me

"What happened at the diner?" I took a deep breath and told him. Majority of it coming out at once. I felt Jay anger radiating from his fists. I wrapped my hands around his clenched one. I brought my hand and started stroking his cheek.

"Jay?" I asked softly once I had finished telling him about the diner. His eyes were closed and I couldn't read his emotions. He opened his eyes and I saw tears on the brink of coming out.

"Kitten..." He choked out. He grabbed my face and buried his face into my neck, trying to breathe in my scent. I ran my fingers though his hair. After a few seconds he backed away and kissed my forehead. " God, you don't get it. I was so scared and frightened when you didn't come back the time you said you were. I started jumping to all these conclusions. Thinking he had taken you, he had killed you. Someone should of came with you. It would of been safer."

" I need to talk to my 'father' ". I got off the bench top and walked out of the kitchen. In the living room, Freddie stood in the corner, Logan at the end of the couch and Lily was sitting next to Rose, her arm wrapped around Rose's shoulder. I walked over to Freddie, inches away from his face.

"We need to talk" I said in my most threatening voice. I watched as his eyes softened and complied, following me out into the backyard.

"We're you ever going to tell me?" I asked softly. I stood facing the trees which separated the backyard from the forest.

"I thought about it. I wanted to tell you when you were older".

"OLDER? IM 18! HOW MUCH OLDER DID YOU WANT ME TO BE?!"

"Look alright, I'll explain everything. I just need you to calm down". I turned around, my fangs slowly coming out. I watched as Freddie put his hands up in surrender. I felt my fangs change back. He turned around and sat on the verandah steps.

"You were a little baby when we found you. You were placed on the edge of our border. It was me who found you and brought you back to the pack house. My wife, Hannah fell in love with you the second she held you. There was a note in your basket. All it said was 'take care of her. She going to be someone special one day'. There was also a necklace, a dark rose red crescent pendent. I knew we couldn't keep you, so we waited for someone to raise the alarm that a baby had gone missing. But no one did. Hannah couldn't have kids. It's so rare for that to happen to a wolf, but it did. So Hannah decided that we would tell the pack that you were ours. And they brought it. And everyday you grew and you became one of ours. We had you believe that you were one of ours. and in my heart I knew you were. The rouge attack which killed Hannah, it wasn't a rouge attack. It's was your birth parents wanting you back. Hannah died saving your life. We had your birth parents believe that we weren't the people that took you. They believe us, but I did some digging because you were placed on our border, so they must of known it was us. But from what sources tell me, you were placed in different packs until one of them took you in and I guess that was us. Your birth parents murdered innocent people just to find you. After Hannah died, I took all my anger out on you"
