“Before we get to our brother–in–law, I have a question,” I say, jumping in before we go down the Quirin rabbit hole. I’ve been quiet, letting Ramin have his say. I can agree that Cyra’s father was a total piece of shit and I know that if Quirin or anyone ever tried to keep me and our family away from my sisters, it would not go well. So, I can understand his anger and concern that Arden raised Cyra to be just like him. Little does he know that Cyra was just another pawn in Arden’s sick and twisted game of life.

“You called Cyra’s mother Soraya, right?” I ask, looking from Alpha Ramin to Cyra.

“That was her name,” Ramin says.

I look at Cyra. “But Hacker said her name was Laura and you agreed.”

“Yes, I was going to ask about that too. My father always called my mother Laura and that’s the name that Hacker found when he went searching for the money.”

Ramin growls low.

“What is it?” Arman asks him.

“Laura was her middle name. It’s a more English name. It was our grandmother’s name. Arden is also an English name. If your private investigator found the name Laura rather than Soraya, it’s possible that she had her name legally changed. If she did, it would have been for him. She was always proud of our Persian heritage.”

Cyra looks at me. “We can have Hacker investigate it and see. Knowing your father like we do, I’d have to agree that he would have pressured her into legally changing her name. Especially if he was angry at you for not giving him the money he wanted,” I say to Ramin. “He would

have wanted to separate her from her family in all ways possible.”

“Speaking of money, how would Alpha Christer and Alpha Stellan have known about my inheritance if I didn’t?” Cyra asks them.

“I have no idea. Maybe it was part of the negotiations to get their agreement in the alliance bond,” Alpha Ramin says thoughtfully.

“Or maybe, they know the attorney who put the legal docuements together. You had to go outside the pack for that, didn’t you, Dad?” Arman

asks.

“I did. I guess that’s another possibility. I’ll have to go back and research who the attorney was and which pack he belonged to. It’s been nearly twenty years. Soraya decided to give her inheritance to her children when she realized that Arden was possibly going to jail for illegal activities. That day in court, she approached me about moving it over and putting it in her children’s names. I’m guessing she knew she was

pregnant with you. The timing fits,” Ramin says.

“Why do you think she didn’t leave my father?” Cyra asks.

Ramin looks at her with the first softness I’ve seen since he arrived. “She wouldn’t have wanted to risk you. Rejecting him at that time would have made her weak. She wouldn’t have risked miscarrying by rejecting him. Maybe he knew that and it’s why he got her pregnant again right away. You said he’s going to trial for embezzlement?”
