Note: While it might seem strange to some to have a large time jump in a book, Please know that in the original series, this is chapter one of book three. I have combined all four books into one long story. Just before there is any confusion.  ***************************************************************************** Chapter Fifty Eight ** 100 Years Later **Cole’s Point of ViewSitting at the bar, nursing my glass of whiskey, someone’s scent made me freeze and I turned in my seat in the direction of where it was coming from. I didn’t know who she was, but as soon as I scanned, my eyes found her instantly. She said something to another girl she was standing w

Chapter Sixty I stayed locked up in my study for hours, working away, trying to take my mind off everything. There was a knock at the door and Tracci, my housekeeper, poked her head through. While it was illegal to have servants, paid workers were allowed. ‘Mr P, You have a phone call’. She told me. She was young, so I didn't mind her informal ‘’Mr P’’, it was better than her calling me ‘’Cole’’ and ‘’Mr Patrova’’ made me feel ancient.. Even though i was 5 centuries old. I had been disconnected from the family for a very long time. It seemed too strange to be a coincidence that she would ring... The same day I had ‘’connected’’ with Millie… pun intended. 

Chapter Sixty TwoI just kept staring, rereading the text over and over again. She knew who I was. How? Did she mention me to her parents? How did that even come up? How did I even come up?! I was so full of questions... But I was afraid of the answers. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I decided to play dumb and hopefully find out what she knew. Sending the test, I waited, biting my nails, a nervous habit I’ve had since I was human. This could be really.. Really bad… My phone pinged, she had replied, You. Cole Patrova, are my uncle. I know the truth, Now will you talk to me?Shit, she knows my la

Chapter Sixty Four I paced the room, going back and forth, picking up the phone and putting it down again.‘Come on, stop being a pussy!’ Telling myself that is one thing, doing it is another. I was trying to build up the willpower to actually dial the number after I picked up the phone and talked to someone I despised... But the only thing getting me through it was the fact that I was doing it for someone special.Sighing, just wanting to get it done and over with as soon as possible, I grabbed the phone and dialled my mother's number quickly. It rang for a few seconds before someone answered.‘Hello?’ I couldn't speak. ‘Hello, who is it?’‘Hello, mother. It’s me,

Chapter Sixty Six We managed to sneak back to the table without anyone really paying us that much attention, which, obviously, was a good thing. I kept stealing glances at Millie for the rest of dinner, watching her shift uncomfortably every now and again. It made me smile. Sitting pantiless around a dinner table with her family, let's hope no one drops anything under the table, huh?Everyone's attention was pretty focused on Constantine and Kenna. It just fueled my curiosity about what happened to Belle even more. I decided to wait until she left the table to quiz my younger brother on the subject, Which, thankfully, wasn't too long.'Do you mind if I just pop to the bathroom?' She asked politely. 'I just want to freshen up a little'. Ginny stood up and offered to show her where it was. They were chat
