Chapter 69

"I knew your mother..."

"What?"

Lori asked as she stood up slowly.

"That's a lie."

She retorted and Astra nodded.

"It's been years but I still remember..."

"What do you remember?"

Lori asked and Astra shrugged.

"A pregnant nephilim on the run. She was in some sort of trouble with the father of her baby... she was avoiding everybody, even our kind."

"Why? What did she do?!"

Lori asked as she gripped the edge of her seat. Astra gave her a pointed look.

"Calm down. That sofa is new."

She murmured and Lori relaxed.

Astra walked back to the window to check on their spy, he was no longer in the location he was before but Astra could bet that he was still around.

"She didn't tell me much. But she did tell me her name and you look a awful lot like her."

"Her name was Ione."

Astra answered and Lori furrowed her eyebrows.

"Ione?"

It was the first time she was learning about her mother... anything about her. Lori didn't realize how curious she had been about her until Astra had mentioned her.
