Alex and Lexi entered the dining room , to find Karmen and Jackson already seated. They walked forward taking their usual seat
Karmen enthusiastically blurted out
"Lexi, I'm a half blood"
Confused by what she just said , she shook her head then laughed , Alex raised his brows looking in Jackson's direction ,trying to hold back the laughter that threatened to escape from his lips. Thinking to himself what the hell did his wild ass brother tell the
little innocent debutant. Or more like what immoral act did he convince her to do, to make her believe she is a half blood now.
Seeing the smirk on Alex's face, Jackson immediately spoke up with sincerity in his voice.
"It's true Alex."
He tugged at his paisley neck tie, making it lose enough for him to unbutton his shirt revealing two tiny fang marks, the size of a pin head on his chest . Alex stepped closer gawking at the two tiny red dots on his chest. He stood dumbfounded with his eyes glued to his brother's chest. Jackson promptly buttoned his shirt back straightening his neck tie, bringing Alex's attention back to what he was saying. He began to explain what happened last night in a explicit manner.
"Alex, Karmen was about to cum ."
With a redden face she pinched his thigh underneath the table causing him to yelp in pain. Startled from the pinch, he jerked his head around rubbing his thigh seeing she was embarrassed by what he was saying , he tried calming her down.
"Babe, it's just Lexi and Alex , nobody else is in here."
"I know but don't be so s..so " she stuttered trying to find the right words.
" Ok, Babe I'll tone it down."
He looked back up at Alex finishing what he was saying to him.
"Any way Alex ,like I was telling you. Karmen and I were beginning the mating ritual and when I bite her she bite me back.I checked her mouth and she has two tiny fangs."
Alex stepped closer to Karmen turning his head to the side. Jackson knew exactly what he was doing. He interrupted Alex telling him what he thought.
" I've already checked Alex, her heart beat isn't like Brooklyn's . It beats like a human's but with a low growl at the end of each beat. You probably can't even hear the low growl , I didn't until I put my head on her chest."
Alex had a bewildered look in his eyes, as he questioned what his brother just said.
" Did you just say a low growl?"
Alex stepped behind Karmen , telling her
" stand up , Karmen"
Not sure what he was going to do she peered over at Jackson for confirmation that it would be all right.
"Babe it's ok he's just going to put his head on your back."
After Jackson explained what Alex was going to do ,she didn't hesitate rising to her feet.
Alex placed his ear right underneath her shoulder blade listening to her heart beat carefully . After a few minutes he brought his head up ,peering over at Jackson looking more perplexed than ever.
"Jackson I've heard a low growl like that before, but it wasn't the heart beat of a half blood. It was grandmother's heart beat.
Remember I told you grandmother took care of me after you were born. When she would try to make me take a nap, she would hold my head against her chest and read me a story from an old fairy tall book.
Grandmothers heart beat like a vampire with that same low growl at the end of each beat."
Alex stepped back to the other side of the table taking a seat next to Lexi across from karmen and questioned her throughly .
"Karmen, I really don't know how this could be possible. I didn't want to tell you this but before you came to the castle I had a extensive back ground check done on you."
Taken aback , by his confession her eyes teared up, she stammered " why, Lexi's my best friend, I was worried about her coming here. I love Lexi."
Jackson put his arm around her shoulders trying to calm her.
" Babe it's just how protective vampires are they have an overwhelming sense to protect their mate."
Alex continued reassuring her, the only reason for the background check was for Lexi's protection.
"Karmen , like Jackson was saying Vampires are just overly protective.
But what I was going to say, is that according to the background check I had done on you. I can't see how you could be anything except human . This is what I found out.
You were born July the tenth at Golden Gables your father's family Estate in the country 10 miles out side of Markham .Your parents are human billionaire James Boyett entertainment investor and childhood friend of King Charles Whitley. Your mother also human Monica Crain Boyett a former beauty Queen from South Haven ,also from a prominent family. She is the daughter of shipping magnate Nicholas Crain who is a human too. Now how on earth can you possibly be a half blood?"
While Alex was telling her everything he found out in his investigation, she set quietly nodding her head. When he finished
She turned looking at Lexi, asking for help
" Lexi you tell him."
"No you tell him."
"No, Lexi you tell him."
These two girls were given him a headache arguing back and forth with each other. He pinched the skin between his eye brows shouting out
"Whoa, whoa girls ,somebody just tell me what the hell is going on."
Lexi blurted out
" Karmen was left on the door step."
"What?" He couldn't believe his own ears the answer he just got sounded like some bullshit headline from a tabloid news report.
Karmen sighed heavily ,and started rambling on about their family secret.
" Alex . I was left on the door step when I was a baby. Nobody knows my real birthday, my mother just guessed by how old I looked when she found me . My father knew an old Doctor who liked to play the ponies. He didn't have enough money to retire, but after he faked my birth certificate ,he retired the very next day. The only people who knows this is my family, and now you and Jackson."
Running his fingers through his hair he set back and took a deep breath. Letting everything she told him sink into his head.
"I see, but you never knew until last night when you bite Jackson?"
Even after learning all about half blood children in Medical School, she didn't ever expect anything like this could happen to her.
"No, I always thought I was a human."
Alex shot questions at her one after the other, she didn't hardly have time to think about what he said before the next question flew from his mouth.
"Do you have any thing that's different about you?"
"Well, I can tell if something is fake just by holding it in my hand, I don't even need to look at it."
"Like what for example "
"Anything, like a document, necklace, a diamond anything at all. I can also tell where it came from, actually that's how I knew about my fake birth certificate. My mother and father wasn't going to ever tell me that I didn't really belong to them. But one day I needed my birth certificate for collage. When she handed it to me I laughed and ask her for the real one . That's the day she told me about how she found me. And Aunt Vickie told Lexi that day too."
"Babe now we know why you can drink like you do, with out getting hammered."
Alex was curious, mostly because they didn't know where his grandmother came from. He was also curious to know if karmen might have some of the same abilities as his grandmother.
" Karmen would you take an anonymous DNA test . One of those that can tell where you came from."
" Why?
"Because you have an unusual heart beat. I have only heard a heart beat like yours in one other person in my whole life. Like I told Jackson earlier your heart beat is similar to our grandmother's. And we don't know where she came from, your ancestors could have come from the same place."
She didn't know how much Alex knew about DNA profiles , but she was more then willing to help out.
"I'll take one ,but you and Jackson should share the same DNA pattern with your grandmother. We should all three take one and compare the results. If we find a common region, that could be what your looking for."
