Disbelief flashed across her face. “No, that’s not it. There is a mistake. I can’t do any of those things.”

“Yes, you can.” Cole spoke for the first time since sitting down. “I’ve seen it. I always thought it was amazing how you could calm someone down or build their anger with just a look. When you fight, you’re damn near ruthless, but you never start it. You control your emotions so well, that if I hadn’t known you my entire life, I’d think you were a cold-hearted bitch.”

Leave it to Cole to say something important yet sound like a complete jackass. Jasper opened his mouth, but Sidda beat him to it.

“Wow, thanks.” She glared at Cole.

“No, don’t get mad. It’s a compliment. I’ve always wanted a fraction of your control.” Cole grinned.

Jasper ran a hand through his hair before turning his attention back to the doctor. “So you let Angela keep her instead of sending her to the Blue Moons? Why?” Jasper’s voice was low, hinting of the rage building in him.

“Would your pack have wanted her? Or would they have executed her for the way she was brought into the world and the threat she would have been seen as?”

Jasper stared at Dr. Thomas. He wanted to say no, that they would have taken Sidda as she was, forgetting all about how she came into the world, yet he couldn’t. Sidda stiffened in his grip from his silent reaction. The doc happened to be right. Jasper’s pack would have killed her. He grasped her hand, knowing instinctively she would need comforting. His heart hurt as hers broke. Her sorrow and insecurity drifted to him through their bond.

“Babe, don’t ever think for one minute I’d let something happen to you.” He kissed her forehead. She nodded absently against him.

Dr. Thomas cleared his throat, getting their attention. “She’s been taking genetic suppressants since she was a year old. They hide her scent, her inner wolf, and keep the appearance as human. All her blood work has been handled by me. That’s why she has always tested human. I tried to contact her about missing the shot but wasn’t able to reach her. I’d planned on coming up, but news of your arrival filtered through so I waited. Angela had told me of the affection the two of you shared. I knew it was only a matter of time before you marked each other. I imagine that, without the suppressant, her wolf surged through during the Marking.”

“Afterward. We were getting ready to head to Atlanta to see you. She started feeling sick so we left. During the walk to the truck, she started throwing up. Then her hands turned to paws. I didn’t know what to do so I touched her mark, hoping it’d make her calm down. Instead she passed out completely.”

“No other signs of her wolf before that? I’d think it’d be a slower transition.” Dr. Thomas’s eyebrows furrowed together in a tight frown.

“It started a few weeks ago. Right after I missed my shot,” Sidda whispered. “I’d hear a little voice every once in a while. Especially when I was mad or thinking about Jasper. But the thing is nothing really pissed me off like when he mentioned other female wolves.”

Dr. Thomas hid his smile behind his hand. He pretended to be rubbing his chin, but they all saw the lift of his lips. “Well, a dominant she-wolf wouldn’t stand for her mate speaking of other females. No doubt that is what triggered her coming to.”

Sidda tightened her grip on Jasper’s hand when he glared at the doctor. “I wasn’t speaking of other wolves. I was telling her…”

“It doesn’t matter.” She squeezed his hand a little tighter. “What happens now? Where do we go from here?”

Dr. Thomas looked away. His expression was torn. After a few seconds, he turned back to her. “That’s up to you and your mate. You have the option of burying your wolf again. I can give you the shot, but it’ll take a much higher dosage, and I’m not entirely comfortable with doing that. Or you can let Mr. Gandillion show you about being a wolf.” He nodded toward Jasper. It struck her then that Jasper must really be the rightful Luna Alpha, since a wolf like Dr. Thomas addressed him so formally.

“What about my father and mother? Do you know who they are?” She sat up, pulling away from Jasper to watch Dr. Thomas’s face.

His eyes shadowed with regret. Her heart stilled. This could not be good. “Dane Velham is your father.”

Beside her, Jasper’s body went completely still, and his breathing nearly stopped, making Sidda even more anxious.

“There’s no fucking way that bastard is her father.” Jasper gritted his teeth.

The Doc merely nodded. “I had his DNA profile on record. He’s her father. I don’t know who the mother is except for the fact that she was a Blue Moon Beta. Her DNA strand only carries a few genetic points of direct Alpha, so she’s not directly related to you. Those genetic markers can show how closely related you are, like DNA matching for paternity.”

Sidda shook her head. “Wait, what does that mean?” She’d deal with Dane Velham as her father later. Right now she wanted to make sure Jasper wasn’t her brother. She couldn’t bear to give him up, and if he was her brother, they’d just have to kill her.

“Your genetics hold a certain gene that passes to all Blue Moons, but your DNA is removed from Mr. Gandillion. Therefore, you’re merely pack mates, not brother and sister or even cousins.”

She sighed in relief. Thank god for small miracles.

“Enough, time to go home.” Jasper’s body was still stiff as she watched him gather her things from the small hospital room.

“Mr. Gandillion, I think it best she stays here for observation.”

Jasper growled deep and threatening. “She is going to our home. I will be the only one observing her. You’ve had twenty-three fucking years. No more. We’re going home.” He turned to Cole. “Get the truck, call her mother again, and have her at the pack headquarters. I’m taking Sidda back to my family’s home. Our home.”

“The hell you are. I am not going to your family’s house. Where the hell is it even at, who’s there, and why would I want to go somewhere I won’t be welcomed?” She looked past him to Cole. “Get the truck all right, but we’re going to my mom’s.”

She gasped when Jasper snarled. His lips pulled back, his teeth turning to longer points. “Do not fight me on this. You are mine, you will go to our home, and you will be respected as my mate. Once the pack sees you, they will know you are their Alpha female.”

Sidda stared at him. “Jasper, do not make me fight you on it. I don’t want to go, and I won’t.”

He spun around on her so fast she didn’t even have a chance to flinch. “I can and will make you go. If I have to make you sleep the entire way there and chain your sweet ass to my bed once we get there, I will.” He grabbed her wrists to drag her to him. “The house should be ready. Before I came here, I called and had a cleaning crew go make the house presentable.”

“No. I won’t g—”

“Damn it, Sidda.” He sighed and then lifted his hand to her mark. She gasped before her world went black again.

Chapter Eight

Jasper moved through the large house to check on Sidda. He’d left her in their bed sleeping. He cracked the door open to see her sprawled across the bed with the covers kicked to the ground. He smiled at her beautiful body lying nearly bare before him.

He sighed when his footsteps didn’t waken her. She’d be more than pissed when she woke up, but he hoped she’d take out that frustration with some “mad” sex. He caressed her silken cheek and kissed her lips softly before leaving her to rest. Soon she wouldn’t be the sleeping angel she currently seemed to be. Soon she’d be a fiery, pissed-off wolf.

Looking back at her from the doorway, he tried to fight off the resemblance he now saw between her and Velham. Jasper loved her more than life, but it bothered some part within him that her father was Dane Velham. The man was a monster, and everything that came from him was a monster too. Everything except Sidda. No, she was a strong, perfect wolf. The pack would have a problem at first adjusting to her being their female Alpha, but he’d make sure everyone, including Vivian, knew he’d chosen Sidda as his mate.

He shut the door and went to the large family room. Cole stood, racking the balls on the pool table.

“Wanna try it out? Sidda’s taught me a few tricks.” Cole waggled his eyebrows.

Anger roared in Jasper’s head. “Cole, I know there has never been any feelings between you and Sidda besides brother and sister love, but my beast is wanting to kill you. I think it might be a good idea to stop trying to provoke me.”

“Nah. You deserve it and much more. If you had any damn clue how many nights I heard her crying in her room because she missed you, you’d understand. To me, you deserved to come home to see her with another man.”

Jasper growled and stepped toward his best friend. “Brother, you are close to getting yourself hurt. Do not challenge me.”

“I’m not one of your fucking wolves to command. Sidda is a sister to me, and you hurt her. I should have flown to Romania and kicked your ass for all the pain you caused her.” Cole slammed the pool stick down.

“You’re right.” Jasper’s eyes stung with the pain of what he’d done to Sidda, but he wasn’t going to let Cole push him. “You’re not one of my wolves. If you were, I’d have you on the fucking ground with my teeth in your throat.”

“Fuck you, man. I’ve talked you up for years because I knew y’all were right for each other. That someday you’d come back to her and give her everything. That is the only reason I’ve never said anything to her about your piece of ass you had trotting around behind you in Romania.”

Jasper stumbled during his approach to Cole. “What?” His heart hammered in his chest.

“You didn’t think I knew? I heard her once. She was talking to someone else while you were talking to me. I heard her say she’d been staying with you. If Sidda ever knew, she’d never speak to you again. She waited her whole life for you, and you couldn’t wait for her. I wanted to tell her to stop waiting, to hate you, but I couldn’t because she loves you. Don’t ask me to do anything else for you. I can’t.”

Cole turned and stomped out of the room. He was wrong. Jasper had never had anyone else. Vivian wasn’t his piece of ass, but he knew that just like Cole, Sidda wouldn’t understand what had happened. He cursed himself for never explaining to either one of them what and who Vivian was. Hell, he’d been shocked to find out that the pack’s Visioner’s daughter was still alive. The girl that he had been prophesied to mate with. Scarlett Dowery, the pack’s Visioner had told them all that Jasper Gandillion was to mate with her daughter. That had been just weeks before Scarlett had gone missing. Since the time Jasper and his family had gone to the cabin to wait out the Pack War he hadn’t seen or heard from Vivian Dowery, until Romania. She’d been living with pack members, hiding from Dane Velham. He ran a hand down his face. Cole wouldn’t say anything and hopefully would keep his temper under control until Jasper could explain it all to them. If not, Jasper knew he’d have one hell of a mess on his hands.

* * * *

Sidda moaned, slowly opening her eyes. She blinked. The ceiling above her was tongue-and-groove wood. The smooth sheets under her skin were way too soft and silky for a hospital. She groaned. Damn, she’d been in the hospital.

Shaking her head, she sat up. She didn’t have a freakin’ clue where…

“Son of a bitch. I’m gonna kill his ass.” She snatched the deep blue sheet off.

Her feet hit the cold hardwood floor, and she took a second to look down. She was dressed, kinda. Jasper’s tee shirt would have to do for this ass whippin’.

The room, a silver almost grey color, would have relaxed her if she hadn’t been so pissed. She grabbed the bronze doorknob, jerked it open, and found herself in the largest family room she’d ever been in. It was at least a thousand square feet, with two large fireplaces, bookshelves along every wall, a pool table, a foosball table, and three large sofas. One held the mutt who’d kidnapped her.

“Watch that tongue, babe.”

She glared at him. Inside, she was boiling with anger. “You son of a bitch. I can’t believe you kidnapped me! I told you I didn’t want to come here. I don’t even know where here is, but I wanted to go home.”
