“I have something to tell you,” he eventually said breaking the hollow silence.

“What’s that?”

“My father sent me the test results.”

My heart sunk hearing Quin’s words. It wasn’t like I had forgotten about it. But, I hadn’t expected to hear it now.

“And?”

“Are you sure you want to know?”

Did I want to know whether Nero was my brother and if I had a mother? Of course, I did… I think. What would knowing change? Probably everything.

I didn’t even know what it would mean to have a family. The man who had raised me wasn’t what family was supposed to be. I had always known that. What if I could have that other thing with Nero and… my mom?

“I wanna know,” I said preparing myself for anything.

Chapter 15

Quin

I wasn’t sure what I was doing with Cage. I mean, I knew. I was in love with him more than I thought possible. I thought about him constantly. He was like a drug for me.

What I wasn’t sure about was what I was doing with him tonight. My mind had been swirling ever since my father had called me this morning. As soon as I heard the results, I could see the end of us. But I was going to do anything I could to hold onto him.

Did I think he was ready to let his wolf run in the woods? Not really. I had it on my lesson plan for much later. But I thought he needed to feel the rush of it. And I wanted him to feel it with me first.

Then, I guess, with everything going on in my head, it opened a door for my wolf to take the reins. The thing riding him like a sex-starved cowboy wasn’t me. That didn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. It was fantastic. It was just that I wasn’t the one in control.

But it was now time to tell Cage about the results. With Dr. Tom’s suggestion playing on my mind, I had only told my father that the blood was from two friends looking for a favor. That left no room for doubt about what my father told me. I kinda wished there was.

“I wanna know,” he said as his body tensed under me.

I swallowed and braced myself.

“You and Nero are brothers,” I told him.

“We’re brothers?”

Cage looked at me and sat up. That forced me off of him. I found a spot on the soft ground next to him and stared.

“Yes.”

“That means I have a mother.”

“You do.”

“Oh my God. I can’t believe this.”

“There’s more.”

“What?”

“You’re not just brothers. You’re full brothers. You share the same mother and father.”

Cage stared at me stunned. His mouth hung open trying to process it all.

“I need to tell him. We need to go back,” he insisted as he stood up.
