301
**John POV:**
“Ego Bastet Helsingam illam praefectum Ioannem Burdigalensem laesae maiestatis auctorem!”, Bastet yelled towards the charging men. (I Bastet Helsing hereby charge John Bordeaux with high treason!).
The field was full of gasps no one could believe they were seeing me right now. And neither can I. I wish the ground would just swallow me up right now. Fucking shit. She is alive. I am going to die and McKee is going to enjoy it. She is alive, how I shot her close enough to kill her? Then I look at her stomach and frown. The fucking whore is pregnant by God knows who. I watch as she, Abram, and McKee embrace each other.
"Oh, shit", Pell said backing up from John.
"High treason?', Abrams asks looking from Bastet to me.
“I KNEW YOU WERE A WHORE!”, I yell from across the field. Struggling to get out of the hold of Pell and San I want to shoot her ass again.
“AND YOU ARE A TRAITOR!”, McKee yelled then punched me in the face.
Motherfucker.
“Can someone tell me what is going on?!”, Abrams said confused and pissed off.
She told them all about the day of the mission and how I shot her when I saw her and that Alpha kiss. She told all of them how he took care of her and how she was his mate. Shamefully she told them all that I do not know who the father of her child is. The father could be Jason or me. Abrams looked at me with murder in his eyes. I looked at all of the men all of them looking at me with disgust. All but my uncle, he looks sad for me and I do not blame him.
The dungeon is dark and damp. It smells really bad in here, I am not sure how long I have been in here before I have gotten a visit. Three men one wearing a white coat, while the others just stand by his side. The man introduced himself as Dr. Ily and told me that Bastet had her child a healthy baby girl. And that he needed my saliva to perform a DNA test for the child. I gave him no problem then opened my mouth and let him take the swab.
Left alone in the dark with my thoughts. What if the child is mine? I could have killed her right along with her mother. I should have not let my anger get the best of me. I could have killed an innocent child. I am the worst kind of man. If I can even call myself that. Even if I am the father there is no way Bastet is going to let me live. If she does not kill me Abrams will I give him no choice? Suddenly I hear steps someone is coming. I look up and ist fucking McKee staring at me.
“Being behind bars suits you. But I prefer you headless”, he said with a smirk.
“Here to gloat?”, I asked.
“Yeah and no. I just want answers. You had everything, why...why did you do it?”, he asked I can't believe he hadn't figured it out.
“When I first came here no one respected me. You legacies did not care for me at all, y’all never gave me a chance. The only one who gave me a chance was Bastet. She loved me. At least that is what I thought until you came back in her life. The whispers, the glances you two gave each other when you thought no one was looking. You two made a fool of me and everyone in the association knows it. And even then, I still loved her hell I do still love her”, I said shaking my head.
“Then why did you shoot her?”, he asked
“My anger got the best of me. I know she loves both of us. I even tried to end it so you can have her, so she can be happy. But no, she insists you two were over and she wanted me. But by then everyone knew about you two. Her father, my uncle, hell even your father knew. Then at the mission, I saw her kissing that Alpha all my anger that was built up came out”, I said reliving all the hurt she put me through.
“I did not realize it was that bad for you. And for that I am sorry, but you know you are not going to live much longer”, he said stating the obvious.
“How is the baby?”, I asked wanting to know about her.
“If you want to know what she looks like. She looks like Bastet, she has light chestnut skin. And a head full of hair. She does not look like me or you. But the DNA test will tell if you or I are her father”, he said looking at me with distaste.
"Do you wish to be the father?", I asked already knowing the answer.
"Of course I do. It has always been a dream of mine", he said.
"You know she told me about the child the two of you made", I said.
"She did. Well, that is a surprise", he said.
"She only told me for me to get a better understanding you the two of you relationship", I said.
"Yeah, we never stopped loving each other. What she did made me walk away from her. Something you should have done instead of shooting her", he said.
"I guess I am not as strong as you are", I said looking at him.
"Finally something we agree on", he said with a sad smile.
“I know whatever the outcome you will love both of them no matter what. As for me, I will not live long enough to be in her life if I am her father”, I said.
"You know it is going to kill her to have to execute you", he said.
"Yes, I know. I am an asshole to have put her in this position", I said.
"Me and Abrams offered to do it for her. But she refused", he said.
“Tell Bastet I love her and I understand what she must do”, I said with sadness. Even though I shot her I still love her dearly.
“Tell her yourself she is coming to visit you as soon as she is able”, McKee said then left.
I do want to see her one last time I want to see the baby as well. I have a feeling she is mine and am going to miss out on her life. But I know she will have her mother and a whole support system behind them. McKee tells me about my uncle and how he is holding up. Also, the council has been made aware of my treason and knows that I am to be executed. My only worry was my uncle the association is his life.
“Do not worry about me nephew”, I look up and see my Uncle Tom.
“How did you know I was thinking about you?”, I asked him as he walked down the stairs.
“I could always tell what you were thinking”, he said with a shrug.
"Uncle I am sorry I got you into this mess”, I said with sorrow in my heart.
“We are family I would give my life for yours. You are the only family I have left”, he said with sadness.
“No, the association is your family as well”, I said in a yell.
“You heard what Abrams said I am banished, exiled”, he said coming close to the cell.
“He had to, but he still loves you. You are his best friend and besides you might be a grand uncle”, I said trying to lighten the mood.
We talked for a while, I told him that I wanted to be buried with my family in the plot. I told him that if the child is mine my estate is to be put into a trust under Bastet's control. And if she is not my child, my estate is to be donated to the association. My uncle agreed with me and recorded my last will and testament.
“Uncle you should talk to Abrams, while he is in a good mood”, I said.
“I will do it now”, he said then nodded and left.
