Chapter 26
Timothy’s POV
Sitting in my room with my mother, Yvette; her brown hair tied to the side. We’re waiting. Waiting for Uncle Shaun to talk with my brother. The brother I have always known, but never met. The brother bought up by my father’s killer. Alex and Uncle Shaun have assured me he is not like Sebastian. I get up and start pacing the room; my mother’s hazel eyes watching my every step.
Is he going to resent me because I was bought up with Mum? “Timmy, you need to sit down” Mum tells me. I can’t sit down. “Mum, what if he resents me? What if he doesn’t want anything to do with us? What if…” I trail off. “There is no point on thinking what if; we need to meet him and deal with everything as it comes” she smiles.
My wolf Tyson is pacing back and forth in my mind also **“Alex says when he finds out the truth, he will understand. He won’t resent us.”** **“How do you know? That bastard took more than just my father away, he took my brother and our life together”** I argue. **“If he’s anything like you and from the whispers around the place, he is; you have nothing to worry about.”**
A message sounds on my phone. Opening the message; I look at mum, “It’s time.”
She gives me a weak smile and gets up off the chair. “It will be ok” she says, I give her a hug and we walk down to my office.
Taking a deep breath, I open the door. Shaun is sitting behind my desk, Alex is in one chair and my brother Tobias is in the other chair, it’s like looking in a mirror. I see my brown eyes looking back at me. I see my dark brown hair; although it’s shorter then mine. He stands up. Mum comes in behind me, tears falling from her eyes “Tobias?” “I guess” he says with a weak smile.

Jonathon’s POV
**“Fucking hell, what did mum and dad do?”** I complain to Tyler. **“I always wondered why they never treated me like I was their child, I wasn’t. The abuse, the anger they had for me. Come to think of it, I don’t look anything like them. I’m really pissed now. Are you going to say something?”** I yell. **“What do you want me to say Jonny? Or should I call you Toby? You’re not the only one pissed off, my world has just gone to shit too”** He retorts back at me.
“Are you ok Jonny?” Alex asks, concern etched across he’s face. “No. You knew about this?” I growled. I don’t mean to sound angry, but I can’t help it. “I knew you looked like Tim but I just thought the two of you were doublegangers” he stated; I stare at him.
“Tim called me the day of the leaders meeting. He told me Shaun was coming and he had something he needed to discuss with me before he got here. I was in shock just as much as you are now.” Shock; It's not shock, it's rage and anger for the two people who did this. Sebastian and Aubrey Petersen.
The office door opens; now I see what they mean by we look alike. Same tanned skin, same dark brown hair, same brown eyes, even the same crooked smile. I have a twin. I have; a fucking; twin.
I stand up out of the chair, not sure if I want to run away or stay. A lady walks in behind Timothy, “Tobias” she says. “I guess” is all I could get out, trying to smile.
“I need Livvy” I scream, trying to run out the door. I need to get some air, I can’t breathe. “Whoa, Jonny, breathe” Alex says to me, ushering me to the sofa. “I’ve mind linked Jess, her and Liv are on their way.” I take a deep breath and slowly release it.
“Who’s Livvy?” Timothy asks. I growl at my twin. “Olivia is Jonny’s; Tobias’ mate” Alex tells him. *"What are we meant to call you?"* Alex links me *"what you have always called me"* I snarl back at him. *"Fuck Face it is then."* I look over to him, growling. He's grinning like a wolf that’s caught his prey.
“Jess and Liv are outside the door; can I tell them to just come in” Alex says. “Just get the fuck in here” I scream out. The door opens, Olivia and Jess slowly walk in. They stop dead, looking at me; then at Timothy and then at me again. “What the fuck” Jessica states. That’s the statement of the century.
“Jonny, Is everything ok?” Olivia asks, coming to sit by me. I grab hold of her and start crying into her neck.
Yvette walks over and sits on my other side, putting her hand on my back. Her touch is soft. I release my grip on Olivia. I look at my mother; my true mother. I grab her and hug her tight, crying on her shoulder. All my anger, my resentment, my hatred for Sebastian and Aubrey Petersen comes flooding out. “It’s ok, my son, I am here and those two monsters can’t hurt you anymore.”
A loud snarl pulls me back to reality. Jessica is looking at Shaun; she must have only noticed he was in the room. Olivia looks away from me, seeing what Jess is snarling at and jumps off the sofa, growling at Shaun too. “Holy Shit, I forgot about you” Alex yells grabbing Jess around the waist. “Jess, Liv, he’s ok” I say to them. Still glaring at Shaun, they calm down slightly. Jess booms, “CAN SOMEONE CARE TO EXPLAIN, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?”

Olivia’s POV
“I’m Yvette, Tobias’ mother” they lady holding Jonathon says. “Who’s Tobias?” “That would be me” Jonathon says. **“What the hell?”** Vanessa shouts in my mind. “Shaun, would you care to explain, the short version this time?” Jonny asks Shaun.
Jessica and myself look at Shaun. He starts, “Short version, right. I’ll try. Yvette is my sister. When Sebastian, Aubrey and Mark challenged and killed Alpha Jaxon; Yvette, his mate was pregnant with twins. Only thing is, they didn’t know it was twins. They couldn’t have children; don’t know why. They held Yvette hostage until she gave birth and took the baby boy; Tobias aka Jonathon. They told me to kill her and dispose of the body. She was still in labour with Timothy over there. I hid Yvette and Timothy here with others that left Emerald Moon because they didn’t want to be under Sebastian. Yvette begged me to stay at Emerald moon to keep an eye on him. I used the bloodied clothes she had on when she gave birth and handed them to Sebastian and Aubrey saying she was disposed of. They promoted me to Gamma; did I leave anything out?”
“I think that covers it” Alex chuckles.
“Look Jess, I know you don’t trust Shaun; I think the words you said were ‘he doesn’t have enough balls to stop Sebastian when he killed your father but he didn’t hurt you. He came up with the idea of how I can fake hit you and he helped us escape the Emerald Moon territory. We should give him a chance” Jonathon says to her.
“I’m sorry Jessica, I should have grown a set that night. I was trying to protect Jonny from Sebastian. If I interceded, I surely would have been killed also. I’m not asking for your forgiveness; I will have to face Goddess Selene’s judgment on my part of all of this. All I ask is for your understanding.” Shaun pleads.
Jessica nods at him. “Thank you; we have more disturbing matters to discuss.”
