Rose's POV
Kevin has a daughter. Not just any daughter, but one from the moon goddess herself. I know it was before meeting me, but my wolf and I feel hurt and betrayed. I ran out of the office and sat in the hallway with my knees pulled up to my chest. I could feel Jackson kissing the top of my head and pulls me closer so that I'm now leaning against him on the floor. At least I have one mate that kept it in his pants until finding his mate. I know he had one before me, but she turned out to be a total b***h.
"Shh, everything will work out my sweet Rose." Jackson tries to comfort me, but it only helps a bit. I continue to cry and the picture of Zola keeps running in my head. She definitely does resemble Kevin and Selene would never lie about such a thing. "Rose." I feel the sparks on my face as Jackson softly cups my cheeks to make me look at him. "Kevin loves you and this does not change how he feels about you. You understand that, right?" I nod my head. I know Kevin loves me, but it still doesn't stop the pain I am feeling in my heart.
"What are we suppose to do? Do we tell Chris that he has a half sister whom he will never meet? Or just keep this as a huge secret?" He stares into my eyes and I see along with feel how unsure he is of my question. "I honestly have no idea what to do. I don't want to put our family or pack in danger by having anyone know that Kevin has a child of the moon goddess." He stares at me and continues with what he has to say. "I also don't want to keep this secret from Chris. He deserves to know." I nod my head, agreeing with him.
"I don't want him to hate his father though." I say as that thought crossed my mind. I know how sweet my Chris is and how protective of me he is. I have no doubt that he will be livid with Kevin and I don't want to ruin their relationship.
The office door opens and we both turn our heads in that direction. Andrew, Star, and Kevin slowly make their way into the hallway. Star whispers something to Andrew and he heads back to the party I assume. Star and Kevin approach us and take a seat on the floor across from Jackson and I.
"I know this is a lot to process, but I wanted you all to know the truth. I should also let you guys know that Zola has no idea who her father is." Once Star says that, I can see Kevin tense up and a low growl escapes his lips. His wolf is pissed that they have a pup and she doesn't even know he is. He's going to want to meet her now that he knows she exists, but I don't see how that is possible. Even so, it would be just like Star. How we are only allowed to see her twice a year.
"I want to meet her." Kevin says out loud. Not sure if he was talking to me or Star. "I can see what I can do, but you three need to work through this before I allow her to meet you." Kevin nods his head. "I will give you three some privacy. " With that, Star got off the floor and headed back to Nova's party.
Kevin stares at me and crawls across the hallway floor until he is right in front of me and Jackson. "Rose." He says my name with tears forming is his eyes. "I can't express how sorry I am about all of this. I was such an i***t before I met you." Jackson scoffs at that remark. "I should have been like my best friend here and waited until I met my beautiful mate. I will forever hate myself for that. Trust me, my wolf is reminding me nonstop how stupid I am for not waiting for you."
"I love you Rose. Nothing will ever change that." My heart is beating erratically at his words. I'm so overwhelmed by everything, but I know I could never hate him. "Mate loves us. He would never heart us on purpose." My wolf chimes in my head. She's right and I know she is.
"I guess this makes me a stepmom?" I ask with a chuckle. I can instantly feel both of my mates sigh in relief and engulf me in a group hug. "A very sexy stepmom." Kevin purrs in my ear.
"I love you, Kevin." I then turn to Jackson. "And I love you." I tell him.
"Come on." I push at both of their chests to get them away from me. "Let's go back to the party before, then we can play afterwards." I wink at them and attempt to stand up. They both refuse to back away and I see their eyes turn black with lust.
"Why don't we play now, then go party?" Jackson suggests, which Kevin of course agrees with. "No. We all know if we start, it won't be until nightfall when we stop. I want to enjoy my time with Star and Andrew before they leave again." They both know I'm right and hop to their feet, lending a hand each to help me off the floor.
