Chapter Ten

THE SOUND OF the clock ticking. A whisper.

“I have to tell her. She has the right to know the truth,” Luci says. “It’s obviously too hard for her to see. If I tell her, maybe she can accept it,” Luci whispers.

“I thought the whole point was to let her find herself? Isn’t that why we’ve waited all these years?” Kato’s voice is strained. He’s concerned and worried, but about what?

“We have to help her. I think she’s fighting it without even knowing. If I tell her and she is truly your mate, she’ll forgive us. Then you can be together. If we don’t, she’ll find out on her own and never forgive us.” A firm hand takes mine, a tingling sensation runs up my arm and straight to my heart. The couch dips at my side.

“Come on, Nevaeh. Come back to us. I need you,” Kato whispers and his firm lips press against my cheek.

I force my heavy eyelids open and adjust to the dim lighting. I’m in Luci’s living room. How did I get here? Then I recall the events which took place and start to panic.

“Luci?” I force out.

She comes into view and smiles. “Glad to have you back. You scared the shit out of me.” She squats down and squeezes my arm lightly. She runs her hands over my arms, legs, and forehead.

“What are you doing?” I ask, as her hands glide along my skin causing a tingly feeling.

“You were unconscious, but no injuries. You’ll be good as new in a few hours.” She pushes off the couch and allows Kato to pass with a cup of water.

I take a sip and appreciate the coldness along my dry throat. I pull it away, the vision from earlier creeps into my mind and I gasp.

“Mr. Dameer? Has anyone seen Mr. Dameer?” I push from the couch, worried I left the man in harm’s way.

“My father’s fine. Sit down and relax.”

My eye’s fling wide in Kato’s direction and I take a step back. “Your father?”

He nods as if I should have known this. Then his face turns sad as if I crushed his dreams.

“You don’t know who I am, do you?”

I’m more confused than ever, and no, I don’t know who he is.

“Listen, we can talk later when you are rested,” Luci says pulling my attention away from Kato.

What the hell is going on, and what happened at my father’s home? What are they hiding from me? And why am I so out of the loop? I’ve been coming to this area my whole life and feel more lost than ever before.

Kato’s phone rings and he excuses himself. “It’s Levi. I’ll take this outside,” he says and walks towards the kitchen.

“Luci, what happened?” I sit back and pull the blanket over me as a shield. Luci hushes me.

“There’s a time and place for everything,” she says with her eyes telling me to shut up. I’m drained and confused and need answers. I reach up and wrap Luci in a tight hug.
