I wake up feeling tired and drained. I wasn’t able to sleep well yesterday because of everything that had taken place.

To say that dinner was an awkward affair would be an understatement. We were all tense and uncomfortable. Hunter sensed that something happened but he kept quiet and didn’t butt in.

The only saving grace was Jax and Krystal who were chatter boxes the whole time. Engaging everyone in their conversations and their stories.

After dinner I led the kids and helped them get ready for bed before retiring to the room given to me.

I tried reaching Sebastian but he had been inaccessible so I eventually gave up. It took time but when I finally fell asleep, it wasn’t peaceful. My ongoing nightmares and the recent discovery merged to create on big fucking bad dream.

I sigh as I get out of bed. My eyes felt dry, like they had rocks inside them. I check my phone and I realize how late I woke up because it was past nine am.

I rush through my morning routine before heading first to Jax’s room to wake him up. Then to Krystal’s

“I feel like shit” Blue mumbles while I was helping Krystal get dressed.

She wasn’t little anymore and she could do it by herself but I just felt like doing it today. It was helping me not think about facing today.

The relationship between me and Lilly was now awkward. I don’t know if it’s because of me, her or the both of us.

“You’re not alone” Midnight grumbles.

I couldn’t blame them though. I felt the same way. Like I had aged in the span of just a few hours.

“Did you talk to Lucas’ wolf?” I ask Blue, remembering that he had made contact with her yesterday.

She sighs. “Yeah, his name is Leo. I honestly don’t know what to think. I mean I do feel the bond but it’s not that strong so I don’t know whether to trust in it or not”

I nod my head. I understand her. It was the same thing with Lucas. I did feel some kind of pull towards him. It was subtle but still there nonetheless. I just didn’t know whether to trust in it.

I’m not a person that trusts easily so it was hard for me to embrace the reality that he might be my father.

“What was he like? Leo?”

“Gentle and caring. He was understanding the few minutes we spoke. Very considerate and patient. Everything you would want in a dad” she replied smiling a little bit.

Lucas was also like that and from the little I’ve seen I understand why Lilly loved her parents. Valery was the sweet and kind type of woman that everyone just falls in love with. The one who fusses over everyone, makes sure everyone is happy and comfortable.

Despite the weird atmosphere I genuinely liked her and Lucas. They were good people.

I finished dressing Krystal and we went to Jax's room to get him. We found him dressed and ready so we headed down stairs to have breakfast.

“Can we go to the beach again? I want to swim in the ocean today” Jax asks as we make our way to the kitchen.

“Sure after breakfast we can get into our swimming clothes then head down there” I answer him.

I freeze on the threshold of the huge kitchen when I find it packed. Eyes turn to me making me freeze even more.

There were about eight people excluding Lilly, Luke and their parents so in total there were twelve people all staring at me and my children.

Three pairs of older couples, two couples who looked to be around Lucas’ and Valery’s age and a woman about our age.

“Oh my goddess…they weren’t lying. You look like my Hailey” one of the older women says. Tears running down her face.

I don’t say anything because I wasn’t sure what to say. If my guess was right then she was Valery’s and Hailey’s mother and probably my grandmother.

Krystal leaves my side and rushes to the woman, hugging her midriff.

“Please don’t cry. Everything will be okay” she whispers which makes the woman just cry more.

We are shocked by Krystal’s reaction. Especially me, given she isn’t usually this open to strangers. I watch silently as the woman continues to sob before slowly pulling herself together.

She finally manages to get control of her emotions.
