Chapter 3: Anna POV

Anna POV

I was beyond pissed. Not only did I have the principal up my ass about property damage but now I had to go to the one place that I despised and destroyed me.

I followed Thomas into his office, standing near the door so I would have an easy escape. I had come to terms with our history but I still felt uneasy being near him.

“What Thomas,” I said, annoyed, crossing my arms over my chest and tapping my foot.

He looked up to the ceiling and huffed. “For once can we cut the animosity and talk like adults?” He asked, looking defeated.

I knew he felt horrible for everything but I couldn’t help how angry I was. He motioned his hand to the chair that was across from his desk. “Please Anna, will you sit so we can discuss, our, I mean Quinn.” I sat in the chair reluctantly and was happy he didn't say our daughter or else he knew I would go off the deep end.

Quinn still did not know that Thomas was her biological father and I wanted to keep it that way; however I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be possible for much longer.

“We need to tell her.” he said, not taking his eyes from mine.

“Out of the question.” I responded by crossing my arms over my chest.

“Anna, she needs to know. Her powers are already showing. What if someone got hurt today. We both know she would be a wreck. She needs to know what is going on. She is going to be 18 in a week. Once her wolf awakens and she turns she will have access to all her power. She will be a ticking time bomb if you don’t let me teach her control.” He explained.

I knew he was right but I feared what would happen. I wanted to pretend like she was still my quirky little girl who said strange things here and there. I knew it was her power showing itself.

“She will hate us. BOTH of us. How else do you see this playing out?” I asked glaring at him. “She is going to lose her shit when she finds out Dean isn’t her father and she came into this world because of her narcissistic grandfather who commanded his son to take advantage of her mother.” I sat back in my chair and rubbed my temples.

“It’s not going to be pretty, but she needs to know before she is consumed with her power. We don’t know the full extent of her power. We don’t know how much she inherited from my mother’s side. We have no choice.” He responded wiping a hand down his face in frustration.

“I will tell her. But well this turns into a shit show. I expect that you will be supportive and understanding. I want to make it clear that Dean is her father. He raised her. This changes nothing.” The tone in my voice was unwavering. He knew I meant business.

“I have no intention of trying to take Dean’s place. He is your mate, and her father. But you know I am the only one who can help teach her control. I will guide her and answer her questions. I will not keep things from her any longer. I kept my word to you years ago. That I wouldn’t say anything until her powers surfaced to a point that couldn’t managed.” His tone was stern but soft. I knew he loved Quinn. Loved from a distance understanding that this situation was less than ideal. He was not his father. That I understood.

“Okay I get it, I will tell her when we get home. You have my word.”

I got up from the couch and walked to the door. Before pulling the door fully open I looked at Thomas. She looked so much like him. She got his hair color, eyes, and skin tone. I honestly had no idea how she hadn’t figured it out yet.

“And Thomas, my dick will always be bigger than yours,” I smiled while he rolled his eyes shooed me out the door.

When I walked back to the living room, Quinn was wrapped in Dean’s arms fast asleep. He looked up at me as I brushed some hair from her face. “She cried herself to sleep.” he whispered. I nodded. “Let’s get our girl home. Ryan will want to see her before bedtime.” He repositioned himself and picked Quinn up. She looked so tiny in his arms, even though she was nearly 18.

I thanked Thomas for ringing me and that I would be in touch soon. Things were definitely going to get rattled around here.
