the first I heard that they were killed. Quin and Jaden don"t know either. They are the ones who talked to Oliver and he told them about your parents.”
Jordan looked at her brother and yelled. “Oliver, the man who killed my parents is still alive? What did he say? That you needed to finish the job? Is that why you are all here?”
“Don"t be stupid, Jordan. He never told Quin or Jaden anything like that. As far as I know, he was just as excited about finding you as we were. You know we have been working to find the Chosen; we had no clue that you were one of them. We just put it all together. I would never keep something like this from you!” Sid said hotly.
Her parents were not adding to the conversation and she turned to them. “I want to know what you have known and for how long.” She said quietly.
Her mother was wringing her hands and looking at her father, who was sitting there with a blank look on his face. There was silence in the room and she dreaded the answer she was about to get. Finally her father spoke.
“When I found you, there was a note. It explained that your parents had disappeared and were presumed dead. It left their names, and the fact that you had family in the United States. We contacted your grandparents. They were distraught. They claimed that you would not be safe with them.”
Jordan sat back and began to shake. Her mates took her hands and held onto them giving her support. They had known, all of this time, the people who she trusted all her life had lied to her about her past.
“Jordan, I am so sorry. They said that if you were found, you would be killed. They said you were a human, a weak link. I did what I did in order to protect you.” Her father said and she could see the anguish in the man"s face. But it did not matter. She had a right to know about her past.
Her mother whispered. “Jordan, please, think of it from our point of view. We wanted to keep you safe. Your father and I fell in love with you the moment you opened your eyes. Your brothers loved you too. We would do anything to protect you. We did not know that you could not be changed. I am so sorry that we never did any of the research about you. It was out there, but we didn"t. When Quin and Jaden formed the New Council they were so inexperienced, so much was happening in Denver, it seemed like they were being attacked every other day. We waited. We made that decision so you would be protected when you went. When Sid became mated to Devon and Casey, we wrote him. We told him the truth and asked that he approach the Alphas. He spoke to your brothers first, and they made a plan. They wanted you protected before you went, considering how many of the Chosen have been targeted.” Jordan took a deep breath and looked around the room. “So what you are saying is, not only did you know who I was when I was born, but you don"t trust me to run my life, or take care of myself. What? Am I not as intelligent as you? You trust me to run the company, but not run my life. Wait, maybe you don"t trust me to run company. Did you have someone checking my work? My whole life has been a sham!” She cried and buried her face into Romy"s neck. She felt Larkin rub her back and she calmed down.
Her mates had a calming effect.
They would help her; they would never lie to her. Larkin and Romy had both told her that they were overprotective, but they would always tell her the truth about what was going on. She believed them; right now, she needed someone in her corner that she trusted.
“I think this is enough for right now. Maybe we could take a break and come back to this later.” Larkin said quietly.
“Pussy cat, don"t tell me how to deal with my daughter. I know her better than you.” Her father growled and stood up. Larkin did the same and stood nose to nose with the Alpha.
Devon finally spoke up and said, “Sir, with all due respect, that is not going to get us anywhere. Jordan, we have a security detail waiting for you.
