Annalise POVI walked around the house, not really knowing where I was going or if I even had plans to go anywhere.When I stopped to look around, I was out back by the pool house. That's when I realized I hadn't even tried the pool yet, so I went inside the pool house and found a suit in my size. It was a blue bikini, and although I've never worn a bikini, I liked the way it fit. I grabbed a towel and went to the pool. I jumped in and splashed around for a while. Then I started doing laps. It was nice. I was able to count and feel better since I got some exercise. I haven't done much of that since I became homeless. Maybe I should start my routine again or ask Albert about werewolf workouts? I don't know but I know I miss exercising and I've been eating so much which is great but I don't want to get fat. I swim for a while, and then someone jumps in the pool. That's when I noticed that everyone had joined me. Carla asks, " Are you ok?" and Brianna swims to me. She stands by my side. I

Briannas POVI look at Anna, and I say, " I was just wanting to talk to you before we get to my parents. I don't know what they will say about this, but I feel like you need to know this." She nods and is waiting for me to finish. So I sigh and continue, " I don't believe your Mom ever told your Dad you existed. If I had to guess, I'd say they got together, had sex and your Mom got pregnant. Then, either before she knew or before, she could tell your Dad he found his mate and left her. I have many reasons I think this, but the main one is its very unlikely for a male wolf to not care about his children there over protective and would, in most cases, rather die before leaving their kids." She looks like she's thinking for a few when she says, " So you think Maybe there's a chance my Dad may want to meet me?" I nod excited." I'm almost a hundred percent positive. I was wondering if you may want to try to find him it may not be easy, especially since you're moving to Tennessee with us, a

Annalise POV Bri jumps in and asks, " How long will a DNA test take? " Katarina smiles and says about 24 hours normally, but I can rush it since it's for our Alpha. I can get it done in eight to twelve hours." Bri asks." Can we be excused for a few minutes, please? I need to call my father. " Alpha Jax nods his head, and we exit the room. Bri pulls out her head, sets and hands me one, and calls her dad. He picks up on the third ring. "How's it going, ladies? " He asks as he answers the phone " Bri explains about the conversation, the test and everything that was just said then she surprises me and asks "can we postpone our trip home for two days so we can get this all done properly. If Alpha Jax is OK with it, Annalise and I can stay here for a few days. They have a few shops, I can just grab us some clothes and stuff for a couple of days. Maybe the maids can finish packing for us. You can head home with mom and send the plane back. we can head home Sunday night, so none of the plans

Brianna POV I was at a loss for what to do because in this situation if we dont find some place to hide and a good place at that. We could be killed from both sides because even the Alphas guards could consider us threats. I don't want to tell Annalise this, though, because I don't want her to freak out. I don't know how she handles stress, and I've been trained for these kinds of things. Now, my goal is to train her and survive. I text my dad about what happened and he suggested that we check inside of closets and that's a good idea so I run up the stairs Annalise not far behind me I dive in her room because it's closer she follows and closes and locks the door it won't be much help if anyone gets in here though and we go into her closet she is looking at me as I dig around and I find a spot that lifts in the back corner and we open it and squeeze in and I tell her to close it behind her and leave no trace of it if possible. She does what I say, and we lean against the walls waiting.

Brian POV I nod my head and say, " Maybe, but it smells really good, like lavender and mint. It's even making my wolf react." Bri looks at me and shrugs. "I'm not sure, to be honest, it's just me and Anna around, and she kind of chose to avoid meeting you today." I look at her and ask,"Why would she avoid me?she doesn't know. Me, is she trying to hide something?" Bri " rolls her eyes and sighs. " See, this is the issue she is avoiding you because she heard us the time you insulted her on the phone. She was coming to my room to offer to help me pack, and the door had been opened. So she heard me defending her and the things you said. I don't know if she's not ready to meet you yet because of all you said about her. Also, knowing you like I do, I'd assume you're thinking worse than you're saying about her." I nod and say "yea sort of. I guess I never cared what she'd think. If she heard, I'd been saying rude things about her. Though, for some reason, now my wolf is upset with me right
