Chapter 189: Couple's Conflict

XENOIS

The strange call from Sophia's phone kept replaying in my mind as I walked through my parents' penthouse in a daze as I tried to make sense of what had happened. This wasn't the same Bullet guy that my mum said had been calling the phone.

Someone else had dialed the number, let it ring several times, then hung up the moment they heard my voice. It felt deliberate, like whoever was calling knew they shouldn't be reaching me instead of Sophia.

"We should check on Marcus," my mother suggested, as she checked her appearance in the glass door as she glanced toward the guest wing where visitors were normally kept.

"Carol mentioned earlier he was finally conscious and coherent after taking Riley's antidote."

My father nodded in agreement with her, though I could see the look in his eyes that meant he was thinking about how to use this to his advantage and see if there was something worth knowing from Marcus.

My father never did anything without consider

    CHAPTER 192: A Mum's PainLUMINA"We should get going soon," I said, checking the time on my phone., to make sure that I was not running late. "The appointment is at ten, and I want to give Riley some time to get comfortable with the office environment before Dr. Martinez starts the session.""Actually," Lynn said, setting down her own coffee cup, as she turned to look at me with a small smile present on my face as she looked eager to share some good news with me "Zade and I are heading to the city office today. We're working on some legal laws, we are making witches officially welcome in the territory, revoking some of the old discriminatory laws, and making here a safe haven for witches to stay."My eyes widened with excitement and hope. "Really? That's amazing news!""Don't tell my brother about it yet," Lynn added with a smile. "We want it to be a surprise for him. Lyn's been working so hard to prove himself here, and we want him to know that his contributions are valued and that

    CHAPTER 191: Morning DiscordThe morning light that was streaming through the room windows felt too bright for how exhausted I was feeling. I was not able to sleep well last night as my mind was still racing about a lot of things, things like Riley's therapy appointment, I was also worried about Xenois and the fact that he was in more danger of getting attacked by Andy since he didn't have much security with him and I was also bothered about the growing tension between the twins that seemed to get worse every day.I made my way to the boys' room, finding them already awake but already ignoring each other. I was out of my depths here and I felt like a failure, not being able to properly parent both kids, when I was just used to having one. Riley sat on his bed with the tablet clutched in his hands, staring at what I suspected was Sophia's contact information, while Ollie aggressively organized his toys on the other side of the room."Good morning, boys," I said, cheerfully trying to g

    Chapter 190: Forging An AllianceXENOISCarol smiled brightly, but it didn't reach her eyes. "We were just discussing how grateful we are for everything your family has done for us."I studied both of them carefully, noticing and noting the way that they were avoiding direct eye contact and also subtle signs of their recent argument. Neither of them realized we had overheard their entire conversation about Andy, Shadow City, and their fears about working with werewolves who had a record of killing people of their kind for shits and giggles."Actually," I said, settling into a chair that was placed across from Marcus's bed, "that's part of why we're here. We need to discuss our next steps in dealing with Andy."My parents took positions around the room, my mother sat down near the window where she could observe Marcus's facial expressions, my father stood by the door where he could prevent any sudden departures that Marcus might try to initiate."We've been developing a plan to captu

    Chapter 188: Desperate Connections RILEY"She's never coming back!" Ollie yelled. "And that's a good thing! She—""What's going on in here?"Both of us froze as Mama Lumina appeared in the doorway, her eyes taking in the scene that just happened- me holding the tablet defensively, Ollie with his hands on his hips looking frustrated and upset with me.Before I could say anything to deflect it to something else about us arguing about what movie to watch, Ollie immediately started babbling everything to her, pointing at me accusingly as he explained about the phone call that I had made and how I was still calling Sophia my mama and how I didn't understand that she was bad."I just wanted to talk to her," I said quickly, trying to defend myself before Mama Lumina could get angry at me too. Adults when angry were always mean to me and I didn't want that."I wasn't going to go back to her or anything. I just... I miss her."I watched Mama Lumina's face carefully, looking for signs that she

    Chapter 187: A Guilty CallRILEYThe house felt like it was closing in on me, not just that, it also seemed that the walls were getting smaller with every breath I took. At first, being here with my real mama and papa and brother had felt like a dream, one that I didn't want to wake up from because I had wished for this moment and it didn't disappoint- they were so much nicer than I'd expected, and they were also gentle and patient with me even when I didn't understand things or said the wrong words that seem to hurt them or make them angry but not at me.But now I felt trapped between two different worlds, with every passing day and nobody would give me straight answers about the most important question of all: where was Mama Sophia?Everyone kept telling me she was "on a trip" and that she "wouldn't be coming back," but what did that even mean? They didn't explain it well and they sounded so confident about it. Was it bad news for me? Had she decided to abandon me completely after
