SAMANTHA POVEarlier that day..."Are you sure being back here is a good idea?" Rick asked as he stared up at the erected cottage building that had being my home growing up."No.But it's worth a shot if were going to get some answers "I said as I marched ahead of him to the door.Rick held my hand half-way to the door stilling my action."Wait!don't tell me you're planning to ask them politely if they have any clue in regards to finding your birth parents? That would mean that you,Samantha would be planning your death warrant. And right now,am not ready for that. "he said."Well, what choice do we have? the only place I can think if to start looking is the place I was first found so I want to give it a try."He raised his hands up in surrender."Okay but if things go south,which it will ,don't forget that I told you so"He said wryly.I rolled my eyes.Taking my deep breath and straightening my jacket for the umpteenth time,I raised my knuckles to the door twice."Am coming!"The voice
SAMANTHA'S POV"Well?"I asked impatiently as I waited for their response."And why would you want to be looking for your birth parents?"My foster mother asked chuckling awkwardly."I want to find out who I am."I answered tbrough gritted teeth as my annoyance grew."Its a waste of time.Am sure that...whoever are your parents they're long gone.They're either dead or abandoned you a long time ago.If I couldn't find them then what makes you think that 'you' can find them and that too on your own"she threw back her her head in a loud laugh."She's not alone"Rick said stepping up.All eyes rested on him."Look we didn’t come here for any of your opinions, if we did then well need it but we don't.So you should keep that to yourself.The main reason we came here is for you to tell us where exactly you found her. And what details can you remember surrounding her adoption. "He explained in a serious tone.My foster father compared his throat in order to speak."Well,as you can see we're old and
MANUEL'S POV"No! No!"I picked her cold blooded body into my arms.I didn't know her for that long but she was my friend."Well, well.I see that am not late for the reunion"All heads turned towards the entrance.It was Jonathan along with an entourage of purple behind him holding up arrows.A smug smile played on his lips."How do you feel now that you've lost someone close to you?But that wasn't my aim."Jonathan said grabbing the arrow directing its arch to Samantha who was still standing on the stage.I sped towards the arrow,my inner wolf manifested I broke the arrow in two halves without taking my eyes off him.I watched the fear and shock in his team's eyes."What are you doing here?"I growledDmien completely taken over."Well, I couldn’t miss this coronation that my brother had gotten himself killed for."he ssid spreading out his hands. With the nod of his head he signaled to his men who surrounded the venue trapping the guests into the circle they had formed.I growled."You do
MANUEL'S POV"They found out that their adopted father was a werewolf and he had a thriving pack and in order not to loose that.They chose to kill them both.The woman and the adopted father I mean. "He paused taking a deep breath."There was no way that they could put go on a run without being caught so the older brother decided to leave the younger one behind with the promise that he would fend for him even if he got caught and that he was going to make a name for himself and bring him back.But years past as the younger one rotted in prison, trying to survive all the abuse and torture with patience knowing that his brother was coming to save him. "he let out a resigned sigh."Imagine my surprise when he found out that his brother was going to be executed in public."He laughed."Well,he didn't take it very well and escaped and went to meet his brother. There he discovered that his brother had had a bride, which is your beautiful wife here and she had cheated on him and well.Of course
MANUEL'S POV"Even all the power couldn't make him save you because that was where he wanted you to be."I narrated unable to hide the laughter that had erupted in me seeing the shocked expression on his face. He had begun to put the pieces together. One way or the other he had played into Jonathan's game even after his death.I couldn't relate to the pain he must have been feeling at the realization but I know that he was better than this.All he had to do was surrender and plead for leniency and it would be given to him.Figuring it out wasn't easy.Yes, I had all the pieces of the puzzle but I just didn't know how to make them fit togther to tell the story.It was his story that brought it all together. Jonathan was a selfish bastard and now his brother knew it too."No! No"he laughed in disbelief."This is exactly what he said would happen. You're just trying to get me to rebel against him because you've always been jealous of him and what he has."He stated in disbelief more to conv
SAMANTHA'S POVIts been a while since Manuel had been discharged from the hospital and an even while longer for his wounds to heal.It was a good thing that he was rushed to the clinic right away otherwise who knows what would have happened to him.The kids have been so worried about him.They were in there now watching over him while heslept Meanwhile I had slipped out of the room prepare something for everyone to eat.Martha had decided to take the day off to go see her daughter. My converstion with Rick was still lodged in my mind. I hadn't confronted Martha about it because I didn’t think it was important because it didn't make any difference. I wasn't going to treat her any differently than I do now just because she chose to tell a little lie and her performance wouldn't change with or without the truth.I was satisfied with my decision or I was afraid of knowing what the truth was so I decided to just let it be.Meanwhile the search for my birth parents had been put on hold ever

SAMANTHA'S POV "Martha how could you lie to me?"I cried. Her eyes widened in surprise. "But Ma'am I didn't think that you would mind.I only left to get some bread I didn't know that you would notice.I do this all the time you see..." she replied raising the bag of fresh bread and bagels that she had gotten on her morning run. "Why didnt you tell me Martha.I trusted you"I cried. "I still don't understand what you mean ma'am I didn't know you would be this mad about it ma'am"she said unpacking the stuff's she had gotten from her grocery run. "I’m not talking about that Martha.Am talking about this!This is belonged to my mother."I cried holding up the diary and the picture in front of her. She wa unfazed. I scoffed in disbelief. "That means you knew. You knew all along that she was my mother.
