Rin Scott

Chapter Sixteen

"I have a theory. Well I have some facts that support my theory." Mitilda starts glancing between Jackson and myself. 

"Facts?" Jackson asked. 

"Rin can I discuss what happened five years ago with Gamma Jackson?" Mitilda asked. I meet her gaze briefly and nod. 

What happened here is only a fraction of a much bigger picture. 

"I completed special training with Alpha Ash. We became really good friends and he had confided in me with some of the issues his pack was facing under his fathers leadership. So, on the day of graduation I told him that if he ever needed anything not to hesitate to come find me. I hadn't heard anything from him until the day that he showed up here with Rin and his mate Sam." She pauses to glance at me. 

I run my fingers through Seouls hair. I got this perfect little boy out of that nightmare. It was worth it. Its made me who I am. 

"Ash told us that he had taken advantage of a rogue attack to free his mate and Rin from the packs prison. He had a few scratches. Nothing major. Sam was severely malnourished. Rin on the other hand, had been beaten, raped and had many broken bones." Mitilda paused.

"The thing that is so difficult about dealing with Rin is she wont communicate. So, we had to run an extensive amount of testing. The bones were easy to fix. Force them back into place and put a cast on. A prick on the finger can tell you if there is poison in the blood but a rape kit tells a whole story." Mitilda explains as her eyes darken. 

"A story?" Jackson asked. 

"Mhmm. Think about it a human girl between ages twelve and fourteen have sexually mature bodies. So, when a girl has sex for the first time you might see a small tear or a some bruising. That's normal. Rin had extensive bruising, tearing and  areas that you could see where scar tissue was already starting to form." Mitilda continued. 

I glance at Jackson out of the corner of my eye. His eyes are too dark for his light features. 

"We knew that she was pregnant. We knew who the father was with out question. Its what we found out after that. I wanted to talk to Rin and explain everything that medical science had told us but she was gone." Mitilda finished meeting my eyes. 

Hers are light. She isn't angry. Does she understand? 

"What do you mean she was gone?" Jackson asked glancing between Mitilda and myself. 

"Was she kidnapped? Held for ransom?" Jackson demanded an answer as he stood to his feet. His body shaking with rage. Why is he so angry? 

I don't want him to hurt her. She didn't do anything. I lean forward and grab his shirt with out thinking. 

A dull spark travels through my hand. A thick red string wraps itself around my pinky and attaches itself to Jackson. 

A gasp escapes my throat and my hand drops. 

"He will love and protect you." The voice said. 

Jacksons dark eyes soften. He takes a deep breath and sits down. 

"Alright, now if your finished with your temper tantrum I'll be more than happy to continue the story." Mitilda said. 

Jackson glanced up at her briefly and nodded. 

"She stole some money and ran off.  I sent some warriors out to look for her but she was long gone. Someone moves relatively fast despite the injuries she sustained." Mitilda said with a playful smirk on her face. 

"Now do you want to know what I found out from your medical test?" Mitilda asked. 

Do I want to know? 

I nod reluctantly. 

"Dana and Chris Scott are not your parents." Mitilda said. 

My mouth drops open. Tears fill my eyes. It all makes since now. I've always felt like an outsider. I was always treated like an outsider. Nothing that I did was important. Nothing that I did mattered. It didn't matter how hard I tried to get there attention It never amounted to anything. 

"Are you okay?" Jackson asked as he placed his large hand on my leg. The sparks traveled up my leg. Its a foreign feeling but its comforting. 

I meet his eyes and nod. 

I've never been more okay in my whole life. 

"My uncle is the alpha of a pack in California. His mate was a human women named Sandra. They were here visiting my father when she went into labor because she was human my uncle wanted her to give birth in a human hospital. She died during child birth and they were told that the child as well." Mitilda started.

"When we tested your blood for poison I decided to run it through the werewolf database. I wanted to know more about the child who was suffering in my infirmary. Your DNA tested 99.7% a paternal match to my uncle." She continued. 

"You are my cousin. That little boy laying in your lap is my second cousin. You are my family. If you will allow it I would like to call my uncle. So, he has the opportunity to come out and meet you and his grandchild?" Mitilda asked. 

Am I ready for that?

Am I ready to put Seoul through that? 

I wonder if we are anything alike? 

I wonder if he will accept me and my child?

There is only one way to find out. 

I look my cousin in the eyes and nod. Call him, lets me meet him. Maybe I can finally have the family that I have always wanted. 

"Alright, i'll be right back." Mitilda said leaving me alone with Jackson. 

"Your my mate." Jackson said looking at me with  soft clear blue eyes. 

I meet his gaze and nod.

"Did you form the bond between us?" He asked. 

I shook my head no. It formed when I grabbed your shirt.

"So the moon goddess decided?" Jackson asks a small daring to appear on his lips. 

"Listen Rin, i'll take this as slow as you need me too. I was always told that you are to treasure your mate no matter who they are. I want to know everything about you. I want to help you raise him." He says. 

I can't help but smile. My eyes look over his features. He has tightly cut white blond hair. Pale skin with a muscular body. Perfect clear blue eyes. His lips look so soft. I just want to kiss him. 

The air between us is charged. 

Just as I found the courage to lean forward the sound of Mitilda clearing her throat pulling us out of our trance. 

"I have two rooms set up for you guys. Should I make it one?" She asks raising her eye brows suggestively.

My cheeks feel hot all of the sudden. 

Nope not today. 

"Don't worry. We have all the time in the world to get to know each other in every way possible." Jackson said winking as he stood up and grabbed our bags off of the floor. 

He is right we have all the time in the world.
