Chapter 74- Family Ties
Lexy
I walked into the interrogation room, and she was awake. By her reaction I could tell she was extremely surprised to see me. She attempted to say something but all she managed to do was stammer her words. I’m glad she was shaking in her boots, but something was gnawing at me.
I went to grab her arm, but she began to beg. “Pl-Please don’t kill me. Do-don’t kill me” Riz sob in desperation. “Sshh..” I shushed her calmly. “Stop and listen. Who are you really?” I asked her. “I’m Rizia” she answered dumbfounded. “You know what I mean. Tell me your story” I request sternly.
Riz
“My name is Rizia and I’m an orphan. I don’t know who my family is or the pack they come from. I was picked up from the orphanage by Cecel and he had me trained by every scout and assassin. I have scouted plenty of packs, but this one is the one Cecel always had me coming back too. I don’t know why; I just follow orders” I finish explaining to Lexy.
I couldn’t explain why I was speaking to her, but I couldn't help answering her questions. I felt like I needed to be honest with her. More like I had to be honest with her. Why do I feel this way towards her? Is like a magnetic pull that I must never resist.

Talking to her felt like I was talking to someone familiar. There is something about her that connects her to me. I keep myself calm and neutral. “What was the last order and conversation you had with Cecel?”
“The day of your burial I went to report. He was in one of his moods and I like to press them a bit too. I told him that you were put away in the sacred grounds and told him the location. I let him know that you were never left alone, and no one knew the gender of the baby. He told me to return and find out the gender of the baby. He seemed in good spirits after that” Riz finished talking.
“Anything else I need to know?” I ask. She shook her head and then spoke. “Why do I feel like I can be fully open with you?” Riz asked with tears. “I’m not sure but we are about to find out” I responded. I asked for a blade and nipped her hand and then did the same to mine.
I was being driven by impulse at this time. I placed her bloody hand on my bloody hand. I saw a bright light and saw her bloodline. The face of the woman who gave birth to her and what happened to her parents. I began to cry along with her.
“Well, it looks like we’re cousins Riz” I tell her. She was as surprised as I was, but because I didn’t know any of my family it was also nice. “How do you know that? How did you do that?” Riz asked confused and curiously. I just shrugged. “I’ll be back to chat. I’ll have someone bring you food and water. Please behave” I tell her and walk out of the room.
As I closed the door everyone was there except for mom, and everyone had the same confusion as Riz. The more days pass the more I don’t fight against what I am and who I am. As we walked I explained what happened to them and made it to our room where mom was taking care of my triplets. Sheera took over for her and we went to sit down in the living room.
“Mom I need to ask you something. Can you tell me about your family?” I asked. “My family are Irish-Gypsy and that means big family that tend to move around a lot. I haven’t seen or spoken to them since I left your dad. I was afraid Cecel would hurt them. Why you ask?” she responded with a shaky voice.
“How many siblings you have?” I ask. “By that time, we were 8 and mom couldn’t have any more by doctor’s order. I have 3 older siblings and 4 younger siblings. Please tell me what’s going on?” she responded while pleading with me. “Mom please just answer my questions and then I’ll fill you in. Which one is Serena?”
“She’s the 3rd one of the older siblings. She was born before me. She had given birth to a cute baby girl. Baby had her moms’ birth mark too. The birth mark is on the right hip, looking like a smear full moon” she answers with tears. “I’m sorry mom, but she died when Cecel went looking for you and then he adopted her daughter from the orphanage” I began to tell her.
“Her husband and Serena both died protecting her. You don’t have to worry; the rest of the family is fine. They were getting ready to move to the new location when Cecel showed up” I tell her. I tell her about Riz and my mom has been crying the whole time.
I held her tight while she let it all out. I told her how we first had to tell Riz about her parents and Cecel’s role. “Let me see her. I’ll bring the pictures I have of her and my sister. I always kept pictures in an album hidden at home and some on my phone. Please let me see her and talk to her” she begged me.
“Not today mom but soon” I promised her.
Dad came in and took mom with him. I think soon they will be mated the way they’ve been. Can’t deny the fated mate bond. I usually would feel overwhelmed with so much information coming out, but I feel more in control and relief.
Now I just want to spend time with my husband and my children. We took over our little living room and had a nice family time. My triplets went down for a nap, and I did the same thing with CJ. Before falling asleep I spoke to CJ. “I love you hubby. Things will be good soon. I can feel it”. He responded with a passionate kiss that had me melting in his arms.
