Chapter 49
Race Against Time
ROYCE.
I stare at her, processing her words.
There’s no way, I mean, how can that even be possible? If she is alive, then where is she? Why isn’t she here?
“Lottie… Why do you say that?” I ask her quietly.
She looks down. “Trust me, Royce, I know she is. I heard them speak of it with my own ears.” She mumbles, her heart thumping as if fearing getting into trouble.
“Who?” I ask, my own heart racing. “She was stillborn. There’s got to be a misunderstanding.”
“No Royce, she was meant to be… offed.”
Offed.
I know what she means, and I wait as she struggles to keep calm.
My own emotions are havoc as I try not to let her see it as I wait for her to continue when she’s ready.
“How do you know?” I ask, trying to remain. calm.
“I snuck out one day to go to the packhouse, and then when I was trying to get back home, I overheard Beta Quade and Delta Harry talking in his office. Beta Quade said he couldn’t do it, so he instead commanded an omega to leave the pack and gave him money to move somewhere far away so Dad would feel a pack link break that night and think it was our sister, of course, he didn’t keep a count of everyone and so… Beta put her in a human orphanage and told Dad he’d done the job.”
It feels as if someone just stabbed me in the throat. I feel as if I’m choking.
Dad did that…
“And why- why was he telling Harry now?” I ask, trying to understand it but the fact that Dad actually tried to have his own daughter killed.
A baby… fuck…
“He said he recently found out she was taken from the orphanage. He said that he found out that that orphanage is linked to some powerful Alpha and he’s scared Dad will figure it out if he ever sees her. But he’s unable to get any further details about her, and he doesn’t even know if she still goes by the name he gave her or if she’s under a new identity.
“Alright… I’ll talk to the Beta. If she’s out there, we’ll find her.” I reply quietly as we drive through the small town at the edge of the woods where Skyla lives.
The revelation has my head spinning. Would she even want to know us? Would we be ruining her peace, to tell her that her father wanted her dead?
I mean, I have no reason to tell Dad, and I never will, but Mom, does she know her daughter is alive? No, she doesn’t, because I’ve seen her remember her pain.
Mom has one tattoo, a tiny one beneath her wedding ring. Victoria with a little heart. Her charity foundation is the Victoria Trust. She’s never forgotten her. What would she do if she learned what dad has done?
How do I cope with the fact that he tried to kill his own child?
Experiments and control… I dealt with it all, but this?
The hurt and shock I feel are beginning to change to a burning anger.
Charlotte sighs.
“That could have been me. If I wasn’t good enough, he would have tried to kill me too… and what if it wasn’t Beta Quade… what if he gave her to someone who would have actually killed her?” She takes a shuddering breath. “I’ve considered running away, Royce. I’m sick of the cage I live in.”
“I’m going to have to step it up. You’re right, this can’t continue. He as good as killed his own daughter. He isn’t worthy of
