chapter 27
Jennifer pov
It was time to confront my son, I needed to know if he was ready to ask her questions. We still had a few weeks for the party, but i needed to know if he was strong enough for this. If not, then I will need to ask the questions. This was my husband who got murdered. His father, I wanted to know what she knew. I walked into his office, and he was looking out the window at something, I decided I would scare him since he was being nosey about something. I heard screaming. It sounded like Tabby and her sister were at it again, they will work it out somehow they always did, so i spoke and a voice that made him jump. i wanted to laugh he looked at me like he was a kid that got caught getting into the cooky jar,
Son, are you ready to see your mate again? or do you want to just ask her questions before you reject her?” He smirked, knowing i did that on purpose because i scared him. he arms folded across his chest, leaning against the window sill,
“Thanks for scaring the crap out of me, mom.” I couldn't help but chuckle at him. i knew what i did was on purpose, i wasn't going to say sorry.
“Well, are you ready to see her again? Listen, your dad and I had hoped the two of you were mates before you even knew that she was, but this is a different story now. She was accused of murder and then banished from the kingdom. We both know she will be on high alert on anything that might come close to her being hurt. if she does come. are you ready for this son? Because I am. If the bond is too strong, then i will take charge. i will take her into a room and ask her the questions that we both need to know.”
“Mom. I know you need those answers. So do I, but if you banbard her with that, she will just shut us out. Yeah, we are letting her back into the kingdom. But it doesn’t mean she is going to trust us. She’s not going to trust anyone in this kingdom. Her friends turned their backs on her. We did as well, so we need to be careful because she will block us out,”
“Did you contact the Seer, she will be the one that will know she is telling the truth, We will have her hidden, once we are done with her, She can roam around the castle all she wants, but if the Seer tells me she is lying, i will have the guards strike her down.” i knew Callahan did not like that one bit. When we kill her he will feel the pain of death just like I did, but it won't be so bad, he had not marked her, he had not slept with her, there is no bond, but friendship. it won't be so bad on him at all,
“I’ll be ready and so will the Seer, she knows where to be hidden so she won't see her, once the seer lets us know if she is lying or telling the truth, it will be set, once she lets us know who it was. then the plan will be set in action. I want the truth as well, mom. it's been far too long to know this, I just wish we let her explain before we did what we did. We are to blame for this as well. we didn't let her talk. We beat her, then banished her.” I Knew he was right, my Cat kept telling me that day to calm down it wasn't her, but i spent thousands of years with this man, He was the love of my life, and then one day he was just gone, sighing, i knew i just knew this wasn’t going to end well, i just had that feeling, but i didn't want him to know i was thinking that, so the only thing i could say was this,
“I know, son, let's just hope she will talk to us, that is if she decides to come to the ball, Maybe she will decide to come.” I walked out the door, knowing my son was just as nervous, i was worried that the bond would be too strong for this, i will be by his side through it all, I will try to stay calm while they talk. I went to my room sitting on the edge of the bed, Polly walked into my room sitting beside me, she has been here since day one, she comfort me while i cried, she loved the king as well, she loved him like a father, no one knew what he did for her so long ago. she held me while i cried. It's been two years, and i still missed him so much. There are times that i feel him here with me. but when i open my eyes, he is nowhere to be seen, I know my time will come to join him. just not anytime soon, i know my son needs me, and Ryan wouldn't want me to do it any other way,
