Repairing Broken Ties...Book 2 of the Silver Moon Shifter Series

28. Confronting The Wicked Bitch

Eric POV

"Babe, are you sure this is a good idea? Confronting your mother without backup?" Vince said rubbing my shoulders. 

"As much as I've moved on in my life and past the hurt. I have so many unanswered questions about why she is the way she is. Why did she leave dad like she did? All those questions are still left unanswered and I want to know why. Besides, I'm not going to be alone, dad deserves answers as well if not more." I said. 

"I'd still feel better if you took some warriors. The last time you met up with her she pulled a gun on you." Vince said kissing my mark. 

Fuck this cheeky bastard that I love so much. 

"Fine, I'll take a few warriors. Apparently, my mother has a record and should have been locked up years ago so Baine is having a few cops on standby." 

"Love, what if that's why she ran. Your dad was assigned to arrest her. It makes perfect sense why she ran." Now that I think about it, it does make some sense and it's too coincidental that my dad got shot the day my mom decided to leave town. Did she plan the robbery?

"I'll bring it up with her when we get there." I said. 

After we talked about my mother,  talked a bit more about random things, and then got in the shower. 

"About time, I was about to send a search party." Dad chuckled as he was sitting on the couch. 

"Well, morning to you." I sassed sitting next to him. 

"Morning kiddo." He smiled. 

"How are things going with Baine and Gio?" I asked. 

"Fine, nothing's really changed. We're doing our own things when it comes to working and when we're home we're a happily mated pair." He said and God how I never wanted to see that smile disappear from his face. 

"I'm glad things are well." I said. 

"Come on you two, breakfast is ready." Adin said breaking up our moment of bonding. 

I just huffed and went to the table. 

"Don't pout lover, you'll get wrinkles." Vince said. 

"Yea yea." I grumbled and they all laughed at me as we ate. 

"So are you guys just going to talk to that woman or do stuff before then?" Adin asked. 

"Not quite sure." Dad said. 

We were talking for a bit then Seth called us over to the living room. 

"Breaking news, American Soccer Star and captain Caleb Blackstone was shot last night." The news announcer said. 

"Authorities say the shooter is a crazed fan who has had an obsession with Caleb since the start of his career. Caleb is said to be in stable condition but has unfortunately lost a lot of blood." The announcer spoke. 

We were all speechless, to say the least. Our mate... Was shot. 

"This can't be real…" Seth said. 

"They can't fake his blue eyes." Adin said. 

He had a point. Caleb's eyes are unnatural and unique. 

"We have to find out what hospital he's at." Nathan said. 

"I'm not at a hospital." We all turned to see Caleb at the front door.

"Babe, what the hell happened?" I asked. 

"Some crazed fan shot me, luckily I was able to perfect my flame armor and it just bounced off." He said like it was nothing to him.
