NATASHA
“Natasha I want you to meet Dresden Von Reinheit, Supreme Alpha of
the North American ReinheitWölfe Pack, and his wife Anastasia
Roşu, Viscountess of the North American Vampiri Clan…
“Your parents.”
Isis’ words resounded in my ears as the teacup shattered on the ground,
pieces scattering all over my feet.

“I…” I blinked, glancing at the million pieces of fine porcelain—the
tiny, hand-painted flowers that glittered with gold now ripped apart, never
to be whole again. I focused on the spilled tea that stained my white pants
and the hot feeling spreading over my skin. On the droplets wetting the
luxurious dark wood floors…
I focused on everything but the truth I’d seen shining in Isis’ eyes.
“It doesn’t matter,” Anastasia instantly offered, taking a step closer.
“It was a few centuries old, anyway. Time to get a new one,” Dresden
joked, probably trying to lighten the situation, but silence heavily
descended around us instead.
Soft, caring hands closed over mine, and I realized I was shaking. My
gaze lifted to the woman who had become my best friend over the years, the
closest thing to a mother I had ever known, as I finally grasped the emotion
encumbering her features.
“No,” I answered, slightly shaking my head. Unable to understand how
there could be truth glistening in Isis’ golden-brown eyes when I’d spent my
entire life with only her love by my side.
“I’m sorry,” I rasped, glancing at the hopeful couple standing before
me. “I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake. You are not my parents. You are
not. You couldn’t possibly be.”
“Tasha, I know this is a shock, and legit not the way I intended to
tell—”
“No, Isis!” The words cut through the fiery anger, and resentment
suddenly engulfing my entire being. “My parents are dead.” My gaze
returned to the couple as pain began to taint their expressions. “They were
killed by Vampires.”
The disdain that swirled around my voice with that single word couldn’t
be helped, it steamed from years of pain, loneliness, and a heart torn by
self-hatred. From years of believing I’d been the cause of my parents’ loss.
Most of all, it couldn’t be repressed because the feeling scorched Starlight
just as strongly as it scorched me.
“No, sweetie. That is a despicable lie Dresden’s brother made you
believe so you would hate us,” Anastasia hurried to explain, though the
sight of my disdain had already caused hurt to glisten in her eyes.
“Arnoldt sought to force—”
“You are not my parents,” I argued, interrupting Dresden while the
anger brought with it fiery anguish, blazing through my soul. “You couldn’t
possibly be, because parents who truly loved me, would have never left me
behind.”
“Baby girl, I know this is a lot to process, but please don’t be hurtful,”
Isis begged. “Don’t say something you will regret. Just let us—”
“What else am I supposed to be? I am hurt!” I cried, feeling Starlight’s
pain crash against my heart over and over, feeling as betrayed and discarded
as I did.
