Chapter 40

MILA

Miles still hasn’t come back or his mate who went after him.

We are all waiting for him.

Nate turns to me “You ok love” he asks.

“I’m ok, you ok” I ask trying to figure out what I want to say to him.

He smiles at me “I am, after this meeting, we should get to know each other. What do you think?”

I blush at him as I look at him, my goddess he is handsome “Yes that be nice” I say.

He leans into my ear “You look sexy when you blush” he says in a very sexy way, which makes me blush even more.

He chuckles “I can’t wait to make you do that more” which makes me go even redder.

I notice Dane and Emily looking at us and smirking.

Archer is quiet and so is that curly blonde woman.

The door opens a few seconds later, in walks Ella first and then Miles. He looks like he has been crying. He looks at me and smiles.

“Sorry about that, I had to take a breather” he says as he picks up his chair and places back in its rightful place but doesn’t sit back down.

He looks at me “Mila can I ask you something?”

I nod at him “Yes you can.”

Instead of going to take his seat, he moves closer to me and takes out his wallet. He moves closer to me and takes a seat which was Archers which I didn’t even notice that he had moved out of; he is now standing behind me.

Miles takes out what looks like a photograph.

“I want to show you a photo” he says and hands me it.

I take it and look at it. The photo is folded in two; on the one side is one man holding a boy. They look happy. The boy must be Miles as it looks like him and the man must have been his father as he looks exactly like him. There was no denying they belonged together. I turn the photo over and nearly scream. There in the photograph standing next to the man and Miles, is my mother. She looked younger but she still had the same features as me.

I don’t look up at anyone, a tear slide down my face

“How? Where? Who?” I don’t know what to say, I’m a mess.

I didn’t notice Archer place his hand on my shoulder but Miles speaks “Mila do you know who that woman is in my photograph” I look back at Miles, how is this possible.

I nod at him.

“Who is it Mila?” he says with a hint of what seems like hope and sadness in his voice.

I look around the room; everyone staring and waiting for my answer. Nate’s hand is on my leg.

“Please tell me, how?” I say really quietly to him.

“Tell me Mila, who do you see?” he asks again calmly.

He takes my hand and I can feel the connection.

“Mila, tell him, it’s ok” says Sapphire, she's crying in my head.

I close my eyes “My mother” I say quietly.

There were loads of gasps around the room.

I notice Luna Sophie stands up straight away and comes over to us. She takes the photo out of my hand. She stares at it. She starts to cry and walks back to Alpha Leon who is in complete shock when she hands the photo to him.

"How?” He asks.

Miles looks at me and then to them but back to me “Mila, That is father and me with my mother in that picture” he say as tears flowing down his cheeks freely “My mum fled before the war on my pack, I had to watch from a hiding spot when all my pack members died. Our grandfather died protecting me. Our father died also protected me from another attack weeks before, he made me climb a tree and stay there. I had to watch the rogues shred his body to pieces. I was left on my own.”

He takes my hand into his “I didn’t know my mother was alive. She left with gamma Richard who swore to protect her.”

“Your mother found out she was pregnant when she came to the town” says George quietly “She told me she lost her mate, her father and son.”

Miles smiles at him but a stern look comes along his face “I was supposed to be dead, a friend of mine told Dallas that he was me, Dallas ripped out his heart in front of my grandfather. I had to watch it all from my hiding spot.”

Tears are flowing from everyone who knew our mother; I have a brother, an older brother I didn’t even know about.

“Mum never told me anything about dad or you” I say quietly “I sometimes heard her cry herself to sleep but never knew why.”

He smiles at me. “I would like to get to know my little sister” he says.

I nod.

I’m in shock I think. I look towards Nate who is smiling at me “Mila, not only do you have a town family and a pack family but you just found out you have an actual family member” he says squeezes my leg but he moves it to my hand.

This is getting too much, “Mila calm down, we have family” says Sapphire.

I don’t say anything but look at the hands that are holding mine, my mate is holding one and my older brother holding the other.
