Chapter One Hundred and Twenty
“You were pregnant with me?” | repeated; it didn’t make sense. Why did she never bother to tellthis?
“Do you know what this means?”
“It means the monster is my father.” | began; she stared atas if expectingto figure something out, and
finally it was clicking. If Slade was my father, then...
“Alpha Thane is your brother Riley.”
“What?”
“I'm so sorry, | should have told you a long tago; this is all on me; it is my fault, and | know it, but please...”
“No. | don’t believe you, mother; you are lying, right?”
‘No, baby, | am not, and you know that.”
“I don’t know that! | don’t know you anymore; the only thing | know is that you never want to seehappy.

You may think I hate you; carry on, but what | do, | do to protect you.” “No. You've never protected anybody but
yourself; you are selfish, and | once regretted calling you that, but it was true; it had always been about ‘you’.
