Chapter 259

Not Ten Anymore

~Susan~

When Devin told me my parents were around, I did not know how to feel about it. They had been gone for nineteen years, and a lot had happened between then and now.

I honestly did not know how to feel about it or if I wanted to see them. Knowing they were part of the Stepanov cult made me sick, and the fact that Uncle Nicolas helped Yuri take the South made me feel worse.

How could I have a happy life with Devin when my family is why he lost everything? Even if he doesn’t look at me that way, I will look at myself that way. It was sad and humiliating for me.

Devin entered the bedroom and looked at me, a bit worried.

“Sue, won’t you see them? Sylvester and Leo need to question them, but they want you to have your moment first,” he said, and tears began to stream down my face.

How could he still be so loving and considerate towards me after learning what my family had done to him?

“Devin,” I said, breaking down, and he rushed towards me and held me.

“Not even a postcard to tell me they were all right,” I said in tears, and he gently stroked my hair and breathed into my ears to calm me down.

“You need to be calm, babe. You should be calm. All that matters is that they are here now. Alive and well,” he said, and I broke the hug to look at his face.

“Uncle Nicolas helped Yuri take the South; my folks were part of Yuri’s group. Aren’t you the least mad?” I asked him, and he smiled at me and caressed my cheek gently.

“I am mad at Nicolas, but not you, my love. I am wary of your folks, but I trust you completely. I do not know them, but I know you. That is all that matters. Now I want you to go out there and be a badass Luna and face them.” He said, and how he said it made me chuckle.

“I want you to come with me,” I said, and he shook his head.
