"The paperwork came through so quickly. Usually, adoptions take months, sometimes years. But with you..." She shakes her head. "It was almost like someone was in a hurry to place you. And the adoption agency closed down just six months after we brought you home."

I feel like the floor is dropping out from under me. "Why didn't you ever tell me this?"

"Because you were ours," she says fiercely, reaching for me again. This time, I don't pull away. "From the moment we held you, you were our daughter. The circumstances didn't matter."

"But they do matter," I whisper. "Don't they? If people are looking for me, if I have siblings I never knew about..."

Mom's grip on my hand tightens. "What exactly did these people tell you, Tiffy?"

I open my mouth to answer, then close it. How do I explain werewolves, pack wars and fated mates to the woman who taught me to ride a bike and helped me with math homework? How do I tell her that, according to three strangers, everything we thought we knew about

  • His Fated is the Forbidden Heiress   Chapter 38

    A chill runs down my spine at her words. I hadn't considered that my best friend could become a target just by association with me. The thought of Laura getting hurt because of what I am makes my wolf pace anxiously beneath my skin."We'll make sure she's protected too," Clint says quietly, sensing my distress through our bond. "Subtly, but effectively."I nod gratefully, though the idea of my normal life requiring supernatural protection still feels surreal. As everyone begins to disperse, making plans and setting schedules, I catch Nathan's eye. He's been quiet since my suggestion about working together, and I can't read his expression."Nathan," I call out as he moves toward the door. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"He pauses,

    I watch as my words land like bombs in the elegant room. Sarah's face pales, David looks distinctly uncomfortable, and Elena's eyes narrow with something that might be respect."You're right," Sarah says after a tense silence. "Your sisters deserve equal treatment. And the secrecy between our packs has caused more harm than good.""As for explaining your sudden connections to our families," Marcus adds, stroking his beard thoughtfully, "we've prepared a cover story. A private investigator discovered your connection to both families through old records, leading to DNA testing that confirmed your identity.""Simple, believable, and close enough to the truth," Elena approves with a nod.Mom shifts beside m

    “Looks like someone’s happy to have their older sister back, I guess, well, at least the ones on my mother’s side, on my father’s side, not so much. Which is understandable.” I said with a shrug.Clint nods, understanding. "Nathan's position is more precarious. He's been groomed as the heir his whole life.""And I'm threatening that." I lean against him, drawing comfort from his warmth and the steady pulse of our bond. "I don't want to destroy anyone's life just by existing.""You're not destroying anything," Clint says firmly, his arm tightening around me. "If anything, you're forcing everyone to confront truths they've been avoiding."Through our bond, I feel his certainty, but it doesn't ease the guilt sitting heavy in my chest.

    "What? It's true," he says with a shrug that doesn't hide his amusement at making everyone uncomfortable. "They're both adults. Well, she will be in two weeks."Dad clears his throat loudly. "Perhaps we could focus on the immediate security concerns," he says, his accountant's mind clearly trying to steer away from any discussion of his daughter's... romantic future."The boy has a point, though," Elena says, her clinical tone making my mortification worse. "A completed mate bond offers the strongest protection available. It would make any attack on Tiffany an act of war against the Harrison pack."I feel like I'm in some bizarre nightmare where my love life is being discussed by a supernatural council. "Can we please not plan my... personal life... in front of

    Sarah's face tightens at my pointed question, and I can feel the uncomfortable silence stretching through the room."You're asking the right questions," she says finally, her voice careful. "In most werewolf packs, yes, male heirs traditionally take precedence. But you're not just any heir, Tiffany. You're dual-bloodline, and that changes everything.""How convenient," I say, unable to keep the sarcasm from my voice. Through our bond, I feel Clint's mixture of pride and concern at my directness.David leans forward, his amber eyes intense. "The prophecy…""There's a prophecy now?" I interrupt, feeling my wolf pace restlessly beneath my skin. "Of course there is."Elena's lips curve into what might

    Alpha Harrison inclines his head slightly, acknowledging but not apologising. "The mark suits her," he says instead, his eyes lingering on my neck where Clint's bite has left its permanent claim.I resist the urge to cover it with my hand, refusing to show discomfort under his scrutiny. My wolf rises closer to the surface, bristling at being examined so coldly."Let's sit," Elena suggests, gesturing to the arranged seating. "We have much to discuss."The seating arrangement feels deliberately political. Elena takes what can only be described as a throne-like chair at the head of the circle. David and Sarah sit on opposite sides with their respective spouses, while my half-brothers stand behind their parents like guards. Alpha Harrison chooses a seat that gives
