9:45 am

"Did you know that your beta kept me in he hospital in secret for two months? Your brother. Your blood. My best friend kept me away from you. From everyone and didn't bother to say hey she's still alive. And do you want to know the rest?"

He nodded formed to continue

"He was hoping the I stay in a coma a little longer or maybe wake I don't know. But do you know what that means?"

He shook his head 'no'.

"He was gonna kill the baby."

That's when I got his attention

"Lies! I don't believe you. He wouldn't do that. He wouldn't hurt you or a baby."

He was getting mad and I needed him to be

"Then where is he? I can smell him on you but don't see him. "

"He's in town either eating or sleeping."

He sounded confident in his answer so I had to test it

"Fine, take me to him. "

"What."

"You heard me. Take me to Xavier or am I going to find him myself."

He sighed but agreed to take me

"Fine, let's go."

One hour is how long it took from my house to the town but it was worth it to see Xavier's face when I exposed him for his lies.

"he's here. probably came in early to rest."

"Open the door."

he hesitated but open the door either way. on the opposite side was Xavier sleeping face flat well that was until we walked in and he noticed our presence and woke up.

"well hello, sleeping beauty."

I brought my sarcastic voice out and boy did it feel good right now.

when he saw who it was he jumped off the bed and look like he's seen a ghost.

"what's wrong. is there something on my face or maybe it's the condescending liar in the room. "

He looked towards me then he moved his direction to Tristen

"Tristen, man, don't believe her whatever she told you it's a lie."

He didn't get to finish what he was gonna say because Tristen interrupted him

"she didn't tell me anything. she just wanted to see you."

That sure made him quiet until I said something

"So are you going to tell him or am I because I don't care if your his brother or not."

He looked like a kid that got caught with candy

"Fine I'll talk but only with her."

Tristen wanted to stay but I told him no so he left as that happened Xavier went to sit down in the bed waiting for me

"it was your mate's birthday and I guess you had sex. Well, I had the doctor do some tests to see if something was wrong and something did come up. you were pregnant. When The doctor checked your stomach to see if the baby was all right I saw your birthmark. I knew I had to get you out of Texas. "

Xavier sighed then looked at me but I just told him to continue

"It had already been one month and you were still in a coma. I talk to the doctor about moving you while being dormant he said no because it would hurt the babies. "

Tears started coming out of his eyes when he talked again

"I'm sorry Braeyln I didn't want to tell you this way but you didn't just have twins you had triplet babies but you've had a miscarriage, and only two survived. I've been holding onto this for a moment, to give it to you, but I guess now that you know it's yours now. when we took her out of your stomach I didn't know what to do with her so I decided to cremate her and I carried her around this whole entire time and now she's finally going to be with you or him."

He took a necklace that was around his neck and gave it to me I start crying this whole entire time he had my daughter or my son with him.

"what about you. you had her for four years. won't this bother you? "

"I've been holding onto that for four years just to give it to you. I have my own. So don't worry and I made your mate one too."

(Xavier )

"after me finding out about that all in one month in the second month I talk to the doctor and told him I needed to get you out of there and he agreed but still said it was a risk. The next day I went which was around 9 AM you were gone nowhere to be seen. I was happy but sad I came in every morning and checked up on you."

Xavier breathed in and out the spoke again

"For 52 days I prayed to the moon goddess hoping one day you'll wake up and leave. I guess it came true. My little bird found where you live and I've kept an eye on you for four years."

He got on his knees and looked up at me

"I'm sorry my queen. I didn't mean to disrespect you please forgive me."

When Xavier finish what he had to say Tristen waltz into the room as nothing happened.

"You know who she is and you didn't tell me."

Tristen was mad but Braeyln didn't know what for

"Of course, I know who she is. I at least paid attention to class. I knew when I saw her birthmark but didn't say a word. did you think I was gonna hurt your precious girl? my best friend, I at least kept her alive.!!"

I can tell both of them were mad because their faces were both red but Tristen face was different his nostrils were flared out and his emotions were all in the air he was angry he was sad yet I don't know why.

"How could I tell you when I found out you're fucking other girls? which doesn't make a difference anymore right. I was gonna take her somewhere far away but she was gone when I came for her. I was happy but I was also sad."

I have to find out the truth. So I grabbed him by the neck and tears started coming out of his eyes again. It was gentle but enough pressure for him to know I mean business

"you're a liar. you said to the doctor to get rid of me! are you lying or not because I can go into your core memories."

"fine! I told the doctor to get rid of you but not like that. you're supposedly mate was messing around with anything that walked. I didn't want you or the girls around this I was going to move you somewhere but the doctor told me you left already."

he explained everything and what he said was true I could tell and it hit me like if I ran into a wall

"Is this why you didn't want to look. You knew where she was this while Entire-time. These past Four years you knew and you didn't say a word."

Silence

"YOU KNEW!!!"

Tristen was furious I understand why but his brother protected me and the girls from him. I turned towards Xavier and he got ready for what I was about to say.

"you protected me. why.? you could have told someone but you didn't. why? "

he gave me a look only I know and I have only seen this look once before it is heartbreak.

"Because you're my best friend. you're my sister. were Bonnie and Clyde except for the love part you. You brought my nieces into the world. I wanted to save y'all."

"save them from what!!!"

Tristen shouted at Xavier but then Xavier shouted back

"YOU!!!"

Xavier and Tristen were both in a heated stare until I separated them by using my queen Voice. They kneeled and said sorry.

"Both y'all need to get your shit together do you understand me. Tristen if you want to see your kids, act right, and get your shit right do you understand me and Xavier if you want to see your nieces do the same.

if you boys are staying in town for good while then there is a masquerade ball on 30 December or I think it's the 31st I have to check on the invitation but if you're staying until then or before or after make sure you get a Tuxedo and a mask do you understand."

They both nodded their heads and I headed for the door but stopped.

"Oh, and boys this isn't just a masquerade ball. If you have a mate you have to find her but if you don't and your mate is there the challenge will be worse for you so good luck to you both, because when the clock strikes 12 o'clock and you don't have your mask off your kicked out of the party. And you know the only way to find me is by touch so Tristen good luck. And Xavier hope you find your mate. "

As I walked out smirking because. They gave me a look like what the fuck. This is gonna be a long 2 weeks. Let's see if these guys can do what I asked
