“Not just someone, and no, he’s not getting his hands on you!” He yelled, his eyes changing color slightly, making me edge back in my seat.
He sighed, calming himself, and shook his head. “Everything I was taught turns out to be a lie. He was the one that killed you. We were told it was his brother, but he only tried to save you. Fuck!” Slamming his hand on the steering wheel, I flinched back.
“They are following us,” he said, glaring in the rearview mirror.
“Dad, you are scaring me.”
My mind worked overtime as he kept spitting information at me. Half of the words he said I didn’t know the meaning of.
“You cannot let him mark you. I have seen his plans and the deaths that follow. He wants to become a god, taking his mother’s place. And he can when he has you. He made a deal with Helia. I have no idea how. But he will kill you when he has what he wants.”
I shook my head, trying to get a grip on myself. I had no words to say, nothing.
“I don’t know if you will remember all this, pumpkin.” His voice softened again, and I took a shaky breath.
“Dad, why wouldn’t I remember?”
Speeding up on the busy highway, I clutched my seatbelt as he explained further.
“Because we are outside the Lunar Realm, and you are still human. It’s a safety precaution that was put on you, I think. But everything will be fine once your wolf shows herself. You must sense her already.”
“I have a wolf?”
He grabbed my hand, peeling it from the seatbelt. “Derek is searching for your mate, and you will be fine with him by your side. We have to have faith in Celine. Hoping she would stand by us.”
I blinked away the tears and noticed Isaac. We were watching the vines on the side of the castle, it seemed my wolf had helped me continue my path while I relived my lost memories.
The warmth grew stronger, and this hate toward William grew with it. He had destroyed everything for his own gain. He didn’t deserve to live. He only deserved death.
“I remember what my father told me,” I told Isaac, whose eyes widened slightly.
I was grateful for these new memories, moments I had spent with my father. His words only told me what I already knew. He tried to save me, and that was what got him killed. Him and my mother.
And now I had to try to save my last family—Derek.
He was played; he wasn’t thinking straight. I believed he deserved another chance; he would trust me over William. He had to.
“We have to save my brother.”
Isaac squeezed my hand. “Only if he never hurts you again. If he does, I won’t stop Logan.”
“Deal.” Keeping faith in the bond me and my brother shared, Isaac and I stepped out of hiding and went toward the hidden passage.
Both of us wondered where Conner stood in all this. And it surprised me that Isaac said he would be on our side. He trusted in it fully. It surprised me slightly, seeing Isaac was the most paranoid person I knew.
I hadn’t talked to Conner after he had woken up, nothing but some small talk. We weren’t even given the chance to be alone. But I remember the look on his face when they told us Isaac was dead.
Isaac used his icy mist to destroy the vines, revealing a door. It seemed no one had used this passage for ages, and when we broke through it, I realized why.
It was the same hallway I ran to when I tried to escape—the place where the paintings of my past hung on the walls.
Isaac took them in, trailing his fingers over the brush strokes, and stopped by the one of William and me.
“You look happy there,” he whispered.
“Maybe I was happy at some point.”
“No, you look way happier here,” he said, pointing to the painting of Isaac and me. I smiled, agreeing with him fully.
