Chapter 167-2
Blowing out my breath, I put a hand on my belly. “She did what she thought was best for me.”
“To save you. Oh, Kiana, I know that you spent the majority of your life thinking that you were unlovable. I hope that you can see how many people love you and have loved you. How amazing
you are.”
“Yeah. Not one person has tried to kill me in a territory full of people who wanted to kill me six months ago, and it would be the easiest solution. How did you feel when you had to raise
Katherine?”
Evalina chuckled. “You’re asking me how it feels to mother. It has its ups and downs. Of course, Katherine didn’t see me as her mother.” Slowly, she sank onto my bed and sighed. “You would think raising a pre-teen at the top of a mountain completely secured by magic would stop her from getting into trouble, but she managed to sneak out at least once a month. She was an impressive witch and the reason for all my grey hair.”
“Is that how she met my father?”
“No. We were touring the packs, seeking out the pack witches. It was the last year that we did it.”
I frowned. “Because of my mother?”
Evalina shot me a look, and I felt a little more comfortable with our cozy little chat. At least she was her old self deep down. “I did not isolate myself on the mountain simply because Katherine fell in love,” she said coldly. “It was another of many mistakes. The more I used my magic away from my den, the more I realized I was connected to the darkness. In truth, I thought I would be the origin of it. I thought isolating myself would help.”
“You and Troy could start a club. He’s doing the same thing towards me,” I muttered as I pulled out my phone and stared at it. “We had a conversation about being partners, being equal, and now London and Elonso are on their way, and Troy hasn’t even bothered to inform me.”
“He’s scared for you, and it’s clouding his judgment.” Evalina took a deep breath, knocked her head back, and let her eyes grow white. I held my breath. Could she see my relationship with Troy? Its
future?
“I feel his fear,” she whispered. “Oh, there is a darkness growing in his soul. A coldness spreading thought him. The fear is wrapped around his heart.”
“Being a father? He has to know that he would be a wonderful father. Why would he be afraid of that?”

“It is the child. That is the source of his terror.” Evalina shook her head, and her eyes returned to normal. “I’m sorry, Kiana. I can’t see the details. There’s too much chaos swirling inside of him.”
I shouldn’t be letting a witch look into Troy like that anyway. It was far too invasive. What I really needed was for him to talk to me, but I had absolutely no idea how to make that happen.
“You’re not here to talk about my mate. You’re here to talk about my family, and I would like to listen.” Sitting on the chair, I faced her. “Get comfortable because you’re right. I do have questions.”
