Chapter 27

Ledger

My father is clueless as to me having my wolf. Don't think I hadn't noticed him glancing down at my wrist to see if I am wearing my silver bracelet. Trying to change the subject is the only way I can keep him from really looking deep within, be- cause even I don't know just how powerful my father really is, so I turn the conversation onto the topic of my mother. Maybe threatening the head of the Shikari wasn't a smart move, but it has the desired effect.

"Did you just threaten me, your own father?" He scowls at me.

I don't back down, though, "Yes father, I did! How would you feel if you had been lied to your whole life about one of your parents and were denied their love as well?"

"You've grown some balls since you have been gone and I commend you, but I highly suggest that you use it towards others and not your own father!"

I need to be careful and not push him too far. If I can get. him to tell me where my mother is then I can start forming a plan on trying to get not only me and Alpha Declan out of here, but my mother as well, "Sorry Father, you're right, of course. I'm sure you have a good reason as to why you keep my mother locked up, but nevertheless, I would still like to get to know her. Is that too much to ask?"

He studies me for a bit and then sighs heavily, "Let me think on it. You're right, I do have a good reason to keep her locked up; it's the only way to keep her alive. Others would want her dead, and I couldn't have that because she is your mother. I'm doing this for you, even if it doesn't seem like it."

"Will you let me see her; I want to meet my mother, at least once." I try to play the pleading son in hopes that he will give this to me but all it gets me is another long sigh, "You can even come with me, Father. I just want to meet her once, is all."

After a long moment, he finally concedes, "Fine. Be ready at first light tomorrow morning and I will take you to go see Brianna."

"That's her name, Brianna?" I ask. I've never heard my fa- ther refer to her by her given name, so I'm a little taken back by his use of it now.

"Yes, Brianna Gregory." That's all he gives me before walk- ing away, but I don't miss the little bit of sadness that enters his eyes before he does.
