I EXCHANGED GLANCES WITH MARTYN. His face was full of disbelief, as he watched Mary embrace their father, without any hesitation, whatsoever.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsUGxHy1fa
"If Mary were still here," Martyn had said the day before. "She would be on my side... You know that."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡ913qSSDiMV
Martyn had been so sure that she had left due to her hatred for their father... But, by the familiarity she welcomed him with, it was clear that it wasn't the case. It would appear that Martyn didn't know his sister well enough.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡberkeH96TI
"My lovely daughter," Michael sighed gently into her hair. "I was wondering when you'd come back to me."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKbFrInZJD
"I'm sorry for the delay father," she apologised, stepping away from him. "My search took a little longer than we had anticipated."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSEejx6WQT
"A search for what?"copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡR18imm0vtU
"I moved between various Gray Wolf packs, searching for a cure the Brown Wolf illness..." she explained.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeFpT67g5R
"You were looking for a cure?" Martyn inquired. "To prolong the life of a Brown Wolf, right?"copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgKyu45B0V
The happiness seemed to return to his face. The fact that she was looking for a cure seemed to reassure him that Mary was on his side.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSXCbjZbPs
But I knew better.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53HKtARBRW
"And you'd do something like that?" I asked incredulously. "For the Brown Wolves? It sounded to me as though you hated them."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMddkIhpji
Martyn may be quick to believe her, but he hadn't seen the way she treated Anna. He loved his sister too much to see how twisted she was.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOajrlCqxs
"I have my reasons," she smirked. I narrowed my eyes at her.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCwBnZceA4
"You mean the word of your father." A low growl escaped her lips, as she turned to glare at me, the gray in her eyes darkening considerably.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Qpga7yAr
"What?" Martyn stared at me, shocked.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVf1eGnR7U
"Lyn, what's going on?" Liam's voice echoed in my mind. "What do you mean by that?"copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1wQCUPP9q
"It would appear that Maryanne is a lot more like Michael than you thought, Martyn," I answered. "You see, like your father, Maryanne despises Brown Wolves."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡTktJJKTRjt
"B-but, Mary, I t-thought you left because o-of him..." His voice shakily trailed off. "Isn't that what you told me?"copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡiapxcEezvm
"Not exactly, Martyn. I said that I left for him; not because of him."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPo0G1UwQ3
"Growing up, Mary would often argue with Michael... I, too, was convinced that she left because of her hatred for him, but..."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJoqs8alZu
"It seems they had many people fooled," I muttered. "I don't know what reason they had for purposely hiding their relationship, but they did... And they did it well."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiFeQRS5qo
"So, you don't care for Brown Wolves?" Martyn was still struggling to accept his sister's deception.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTeQUURPqI
"Why should I?" she snarled. Martyn stared at her, his face full of hurt.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrhNTqYfq
"Did you end up finding a cure?" Liam asked her. She didn't reply but turned back to face her father.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5I7kyZdDp
"I wish to speak with my father, alone."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5jQVdLN2b
"Very well," he replied grimly, his face retuning to its usual flat expression. "Alpha Grayson, if none of you have any objections, I will be taking my daughter to somewhere quiet to speak to her alone."copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVzWdmQEk6
Liam stepped forward, looking as though he wanted to disagree, but I blocked him with my arm.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NbMVvlUIY
"Go ahead," I told him.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk4DbZRWMU
"But, Lyn-" he began.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hQHe334Ho
"Just let them go," I gritted out.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMcmy8ST2B
The moment they left the room, Martyn sunk to his knees, tears falling down his cheeks. Although I wanted to comfort him, I stayed back.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWW07WS3I
Sometimes, it was best to get it out.copyright protection129ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb0CTeGXjo
