The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 570
I opened my door and walked in.
Amelia was on a couch reading.
I looked around, and Max and Kyle weren't there.
"Where did they go?" I asked her, and she smiled at me.
"To check on the displaced people," she said, and I nodded. It was their responsibility anyway, so it was okay.
I looked at my mate on the couch and prayed that she would take the news well.
"How did it go with that cheater?" she said, and I cringed a bit now that I knew he was her brother.
I shut the door behind me and went to sit beside her on the couch.
She sat up and moved close to me. Her scent filled my sense, and it calmed me down a bit.
"I need to discuss something with you," I said, looking at her. She opened her eyes wide with expectation, and it was so cute. To think she managed to hold on to her innocence after all that had happened to her showed her inner strength.
I placed my hand on her bare thigh and caressed it.
"I need to tell you something important," I said, and she nodded, showing I had her attention.
"Alexei is like you," I said, and she frowned.
"He has your eyes and hair. He dyes his hair and wears contacts," I said, and she frowned at me. I knew she would wonder why I was telling her this. I sighed.
"He is your half-brother," I said, and she gasped.
"Clay Newton too. They are both your siblings. Your grandfather was Adrik Stepanov, as we suspected.
His mate was pregnant when they executed him, so she ran to the east and had your father, Luis Ivanov. Other Stepanovs escaped the massacre and went into hiding too.
The people that attacked us in the north are from that lineage. They also have a cult headed by your distant relative, Erik Kozlov.
Alexei only took over Hill Valley to protect it from the cult and tried to take over Brentwood to protect Brent from them.
Unfortunately, I interfered by getting the ban order from the King, which was why the Stepanov cult could attack Brent," I said and sighed.
"A cousin of yours has been watching you to protect you because the same cult wants to have you mated to Erik Kozlov so he can have superior pups.
They were the ones that hunted your father down.
They Killed Alexei's mother after she had fled with her son to the north, forcing Alexei to grow up on the streets. Your father mated with Clay's mother to blend in, but they found him, and he had to leave them to protect them.
He met your mother, Gezel Westwood, in the west and had you.
The cult found out and knew you had fully inherited your grandfather's genes, so they wanted to take you.
Your father died protecting you.
Your mother went into hiding and gave you to her maid to raise.
I guess the maid panicked and took you to the orphanage.
Alexei says your mother is alive but still in hiding. She is a beta from the Stepanov bloodline, which is why you are enhanced.
Erik is trying to recreate something stronger by mating with you.
Your brothers decided to own packs so they could take you in and protect you, but you had come to me before they could succeed.
So they have been watching you from afar ever since." I said, putting everything together, and she stared at me dumbfounded.
I saw tears form in her eyes and trickle down her cheeks. She was overwhelmed.
"I have brothers," she said with a breathy voice. She could not believe it. I guess she only heard that part.
"I have relatives?" she asked, still in tears, and I began to feel the mix of her emotions.
"Alexei is my brother?" She asked, and I knew it was rhetorical, so I remained silent.
