“What was his name?”
“Dravon” He answered but seemed uncomfortable and changed the subject to how I was settling in, in the city and if the twins were treating me right.
The small talk continued, which I hated. I was never good at small talk. I asked him about his pack, but he gave vague answers, so I asked about our family. Again, vague answers.
He asked me a few random questions, favorite color, favorite movie, but I guess Tyrone was the same way about small talk, because he looked at me and sighed
“Can we cut the small talk cr*p?”
I laughed and quickly covered my mouth with my hands “Yes please” I asked and took a sip of my drink “What would you like to talk about?”
“Everything” He said, so intensely that it took me by surprise and I choked on my drink
Tyrone laughed and patted my back. It was so strange, but I never felt uncomfortable with his touch, like I did when others touched me.
“Thanks, how about this” I smiled at him “You tell me something, and I’ll tell you, though, I’m not really exciting, so you might die of boredom”
For the next couple of minutes, we were still talking and laughing, Tyrone was funny, and I was finally feeling at ease, but when his phone buzzed, he got another sad expression
He lifted his phone and exhaled “Our times up, my covers blown” He told me as he pulled out an envelope and a strange glowing orb
“What is that?” I asked as Tyrone stood up “What cover?”
“This is for you” He passed over the envelope.
I took it with a confused frown and Tyrone touched my face “It’s been so wonderful talking to you, my little flame” He said as my guards frowned and stepped closer “I’ve dreamed about this moment, since I lost you’
“What?” I asked in confusion “What are you talking about?”
“Step away from the Luna, NOW!” Alex growled “What is that orb?”
Tyrone ignored them and lowered his hand “Your mother would be so proud of the woman you’re becoming” He said gently.
“You’re not Tyrone, are you?” I asked and stepped away from him.
“No” He shook his head “But I couldn’t miss this chance to see you, to talk to you, Azula has her rules, I’ll be in trouble when I get home, but it’s been worth it”
“STEP AWAY FROM HER NOW!” Alex shouted, but Tyrone lifted the orb.
“Don’t move” Tyrone warned, and all the guards paused while the restaurant fell silent.
“Who are you?”
“I think you know, my little flame” He smiled and lifted his hand, showing me the birthmark again.
I looked down at my own and touched it “You’re… you’re my father”
Tyrone smiled “You look just like her, you’re so beautiful”
Before I could ask or say anything else, he smashed the orb on the ground and a ball of flames erupted, and I felt someone rip me back. I wasn’t worried about the fire as I knew it couldn’t hurt me, but I still screamed in shock. My father vanished in the flames and then suddenly the flames died, and my dad was gone.
JACKSON’S POV
“Madelyn!” I shouted through the link. My whole body was shaking in fear “Where are you, get away from Tyrone now!”
“I’m at the restaurant, Quata” She answered straight away, but her voice sounded emotionless “But he’s gone”
“We’re coming for you” Koda joined the conversation “Where’s your guard?”
“He’s beside me”
“Sweetheart, you sound strange” I pointed out, as I calmed down “What’s wrong? What’s going on? Did he hurt you?”
“Baby?” Koda said, when she didn’t answer
“He.. he’s my dad” She told us and cut the link
“What?” I said to Koda, as we reached the car “Quata, now!” I shouted at the driver and climbed in
“Fake Tyrone’s her dad?” Koda said in disbelief.
“Why pretend to be another Alpha?” I said in confusion “Why not just tell us, who he was?”
“Boys?” Dad linked up “What’s going on? The guards just told me there was a fire at one of the restaurants where Madelyn is”
“WHAT!?” Koda shouted “We just spoke to Maddie, she never told us about a fire”
“The fake Tyrone is Madelyn’s father” I told our dad “We don’t know anything about a fire”
“He said that?” Our father asked, his voice laced with concern “He said he was her father?”
“I guess so” I responded “We don’t have any of the details yet”
“We’re nearly there” Koda told him “We’ll get to the bottom of it”
“Good” Dad sounded distant “Let me know when you speak with your mate”
“Wait a second” I said before he could cut the link “Why are Madelyn’s guards informing you about her? They should be informing us!”
“It’s my duty to keep an eye on my children”
“Bullsh*t” Koda snapped “You’ve never even had us watched, and we’re your actual children. Why are you keeping tabs on her? What aren’t you telling us?!”
“If I am keeping something from you” He commented angrily “Then it’s my prerogative as King, and isn’t your damn business”
“When it comes to our mate, it is our business” I pointed out, but he just ignored us and cut the link and I growled angrily and punched the door of the car.
“He is such an insufferable ass!” I snarled “It’s no wonder Madelyn’s mother hated him when they were growing up”
Koda remained silent, and I glared at him “What are you thinking?”
“I’m just trying to think of a reason he’d keep tabs on Maddie” He responded thoughtfully “He’s either worried that Fenrir will try to take her or there’s another reason”
“Well, what ever the reason, it’ll come out in time” I exhaled and ran my hands over my face and through my hair to cool down “What we need to focus on is our mate, if she really did just meet her father, then she’s probably really upset. What are we going to do to cheer her up?”
“Let’s just get to her and work it out from there” He said, as he looked out of the window.
The second we rushed into the restaurant, I scanned the room and found Madelyn sitting alone at the back, while her guards stood a few feet away.
