Carter was already up and coming out of his room, with Austin exiting his room about thirty seconds later. I didn’t tell them anything other than the fact that we were leaving in ten minutes and to get packed and ready to go now. As Alpha children, they know the deal. You can never tell when an emergency is going to happen, and they need to stay as packed as they can, so we could roll out quickly if we needed to. I went back to my room and changed into the clothes that Olivia had laid out for me at the end of the bed. I had just put my shoes on when a knock sounded at the door. I open it and am surprised to see Olivia’s dad in the hallway.

“I am taking you all to the airfield. I already called and got your plane topped off and had them call your pilot and team into to the hanger for you. You should be ready to go once we get there. They should all be arriving soon”

David told me, and I cannot express how much it means to me for him to be helping us. David Turner is the former Alpha for the Storm Shadow pack here in Minnesota. He is still as sharp as when he was the Alpha, but he and his wife Ellen are really enjoying their retirement. They found each other later in life and were thirty when they had Olivia, and forty when they had Paul. There is a total of 10 years between them. Paul is the new Alpha for the pack. His Luna is Erin, and they have two children right now, Jacob who is 7, and Dorothy, who we call

“Dottie”

who is 4 years old.

“Thank you so much for getting us to the airfield. I cannot seem to focus on anything right now David. I feel like something is really off with me”

I told David as we rolled the bags out to the waiting SUV. I see my sons hugging their grandmother goodbye and her giving Olivia one last hug.

“You are the best man for my Olivia. So, you are already like a son to me, it is my pleasure to be able to help, and we will be sure to come and visit when things get settled back down at Blood Walker. Go ahead and get in, I will just kiss Ellen really quick, and we will head out”

David tells me, and I walked up to the front passenger seat. I am really struggling right now. I feel weak and ineffective. I doubt that I could even have driven us to the airfield. I get buckled in and David jumps in and takes off. I heard the boys asking Olivia questions, and she is putting them off. I know that she doesn’t want to discuss this in front of her father, but it is ok. He is going to know sooner or later. I turned around to nod at her and let her know that I was OK with her telling them right now.

“Do you remember daddy having a true mate before me? We have told you both what happened to us, so you could both be wary of a bad match. Well, we just found out that your father’s first mate did indeed have his child. She was kept hidden from us all these years. She has not had a good time of it, and she will need time to come to terms that she has two half-brothers, a stepmother, and a dad that she never knew about. I will need you to be kind to her, she had been through more than we know. We will discuss it on the plane, but I hope that you will both treat her well. She already wants to leave, she is skittish and fearful. We want her to stay for as long as she needs”

Olivia told them.

My head flew up when she said that she has not had a good time of it. I knew what that means, Olivia had spent her life downplaying things when she thinks that I will lose my temper. I try to force myself to relax, I can’t hear anything else bad about what she went through until we land in Oregon. I know that she is mine because Timothy told me that she is. I already know that I won’t need a DNA test. Timothy has the sharpest nose, and from what he was saying before I dropped my phone, she has my hair and eye color. I have to shut my eyes because I already know that Graham and Cassandra hurt her. They punished her for their wrong deeds, and I am going to kill them if they seriously hurt her.

I feel Cassandra reach forward to touch my arm, and I calmed back down, but we can’t get there fast enough for me. David pulled right up to the plane waiting on the runway. David and the boys help to unload the SUV and Olivia is with me as we go up the stairs of the plane. David waves us off as we taxi, and Olivia is sitting right next to me. As soon as we level off and she takes her seatbelt off and climbs into my lap. I swear to the Goddess that Olivia always knows when I need her. My heart is aching for something that I tried my best to prevent. I told them to bring her to me, I warned them what would happen if they didn’t. I don’t know what I am going to do. I already feel like my heart is broken from losing out on seeing her for over 18 years. She is considered an adult now. I heard what Olivia said, she already wants to leave. I will be so upset if she gets angry with me for her having such a hard life.

We had gone to bed late and got up early so the boys had both relined their seats and were already asleep. I reclined my seat and Olivia made herself comfortable on my chest, and I don’t think that I would have been able to remain calm without her being here with me. She is my second chance mate, and without her, I would have lost my mind already. The whole flight crew knew to leave us alone, I am sure per Olivia’s orders. Until I can see her and know for a fact that she is Ok, I will not be able to calm down. I feel terrible that she had to live for 18 years with those two. I am going to put some thought into what I am going to do to them, but I want the whole story before I do.

I am known for being cool-headed, and strong. I don’t make rash decisions. I think about what I need to do and figure out the best way to get it done. Timothy has been my best friend since third grade when his family moved to the Blood Walker pack. His father was an impressive Beta, and Timothy is as well. I know his son Joshua will be just as effective when Carter takes over the pack after finding his Luna. I am finally able to shut my mind down and sleep. It seems like just a short time has gone by when I feel Olivia move off of me and I open my eyes to see the flight attendant standing there. I can tell we are descending, and I am glad that we are here. I knew Olivia had to get in her own seat and buckle up, but I already missed her. I held her hand and pulled it to my lips to kiss her wrist. She loves that, and I enjoy feeling her pulse jump every time I do it. She was the only reason that I am remotely calm right now. She is just as upset at what happened to my daughter as I am. Maybe even more than me as clearly, she got more information from Amanda than I had been given.

I am glad to see both boys up and awake, and Carter tells me that he has been up for an hour and had given our ETA to Timothy already. I am proud of him, he knows I need to get back to my pack as soon as possible. Everyone grabbed their bags and headed over to the SUV. I was expecting to see Timothy, but Joshua was in the driver’s seat. I was surprised, but instead of asking Joshua why he was there, I just linked Timothy myself to find out. Timothy and Amanda were with Raven and Stella in the dining hall. I guess that makes sense. It was now 11 am as we got 2 hours back on our flight home. Timothy didn’t want to leave her but didn’t mention why. I trust him with my life, and I know that I can trust him with my daughter’s as well. He is a father, he gets it. I lean back in my seat and started to listen in on the conversation between Carter and Joshua when I freeze. What did I just hear Joshua just say?

“I am sorry, can you say that again?”

I asked Joshua. Joshua was keeping his eyes on the road and occasionally using the rearview mirror to look at Carter while he spoke.

“Sure Alpha Cole, I was just telling Carter that he needs to take care of business when we get back to the packhouse. Some girl showed up early this morning and she is telling dad that she is your daughter. She has him totally fooled for some reason. She has no proof of it at all, so I don’t believe her, I have a feeling that she is lying. I mean she looks a little like you Alpha Cole, but I think she is just taking advantage of her looks and trying to get some money out of our pack. She needs to just be sent on her way. I don’t trust someone who shows up like that, out of the blue. I mean she was obviously trying to seduce someone with how scantily she was dressed. Carter and I have to deal with this kind of stuff all the time. She only had a t-shirt on when she got to the packhouse. I can tell she is just trying to run a con on us. I thought dad would send her away this morning, but instead, he and mom are staying with her, and Stella.
