Chapter 11 AURORA Mommy , are you coming home ? my son , Tristan , asked .

He looked so much like his father .

My heart ached with the sadness in his voice .

Not yet , sweetheart .

Next to me in the car , Holden reached over and patted my knee with one hand as he steered us over the winding roads with the other .

I squeezed his fingers for comfort .

But mommy , we miss you! said Seraphina , my little girl , calling my attention back to the bright screen .

Yeah , we miss you ! Tristan echoed .

Tristan had his fathers dark eyes , but he was blond though his blond was gold where mine was silver .

He was a strong , sturdy boy who cared about protecting me and his sister more than anything .

Seraphina was more petite than her brother and quieter , but just as brave and smart .

She had my moon pale skin and lilac eyes , but her fathers dark hair .

Id only been away from them two days , but it felt like too long .

I might be in Atlanta for months , and I hated that .

Id be in control of my own destiny .

Wed be safe .

rediscovering my true family .

Tristan sighed sadly and Seraphina said , Were being good .

I heard a low voice in the background , and Tristan tilted the phone so I saw Evander .

He sat next to the twins on the couch in my little cottage back home .

He had deep bronze skin a tousled sweep of black hair , and lilac eyes like mine .

Id heard my grandmothers maids whisper how handsome he was with his finely sculpted face and those light eyes fringed by black lashes , but to me , he was just Evander .
