Chapter 8.

How I broke my promise to Aunt Alison, I didn’t know. My palm didn’t tingle, nor burn. Death was most certainly not falling down upon me.

Perhaps it was the wards my father had up, that stopped Alison’s magic from working? Maybe it was pure will. I think it might have been how truly powerful I was. How powerful my mother knew I was but did not tell me. I didn’t know. It didn’t matter. All I knew was that I had this power and thanks to my mother, I knew what to do with it.

But what I did know was, my father now knew who I was.

“You’re my... what?” He blinked, as though the thought hadn’t even occurred to him, as though he never considered the possibility that I could be his daughter.

Of all the reactions I expected from my long-lost father, absolute disbelief was not one of them, especially not after what I showed him my power.

I narrowed my gaze at him. “I’m your daughter. Your child. The fruit of your loins. What don’t you understand about the terminology?”

He practically collapsed into the chair behind him, falling backwards and shaking his head in disbelief. “I can’t believe it.”

I rolled my eyes. “Seriously? How many times did you have sex with my mother? How could you not expect any consequences?”

My father’s handsome face flushed with blood and he looked down at the floor beneath him. His lips were pressed tightly together, his jaw popped. Anger flashed in his eyes, but instead of saying anything, he continued to stare at his feet.

Yeah, I thought so.

All the anger left me as I looked at him. I thought he would put up more of a fight. I thought I would need to prove myself to him. But I wasn’t. I stared at him, waiting. And as I stared, I realized that I wasn’t angry with him. Not really. I sat down into my chair and blew out a breath. I slid my feet out of the heels I wore and flexed my toes before pointing them. I flicked my wrist and a healing balm was massaged onto the back of my heels instantly soothing them.

Suddenly the door burst open and a huge man came hurtling into the room, growling like an aggressive wolf.

The warlock held out his hand. “Everything’s fine, Thomas. Thank you.”

“But I thought I heard...” He looked around the room as though looking for an attacker.

“Everything’s fine.” The warlock repeated and flicked his wrist.

The massive guy nodded and disappeared through the door he’d come from.

“Your security?” I asked and he nodded, his eyes not focusing on me, but instead he looked lost within himself.

“Yes....”

I wanted to roll my eyes. A little late, buddy?

My father pushed onto his feet, his brow deeply furrowed. “How could your mother have not have told me about this?” he asked, waving his arms. He seemed consumed by his frustration with her, not so much with me.

I snorted, shaking my head. I flicked my wrist again.
