CHAPTER 38

  Raleigh:

  "You wanted a word, Everest?" I questioned, reclining in my seat.

  Everest fidgeted on his feet, then with a shallow sigh, he nodded. His knees bent and he sat in the seat Raleigh once occupied.

  "I... I wanted to say something that I couldn't say around my sister." He murmured.

  I frowned. "Okay. What is it?"

  "Do you know the story of the Alpha and the Luna who went insane after their children's disappearance?" Everest asked. The air in the room suddenly grew thick, thicker than it already was, like it was suffocating me.

  I struggled to reply for a moment. "Yes...Why?"

  Everest gulped, and it took me a couple of moments before I could catch on to what he was implying. The eyes. The hair. The accent. It wasn't Raleigh he looked like.

  "Y-You're their son?!" I sputtered.

  Slouching, Everest nodded. "I—yes. I am. Raleigh is their daughter...kinda" He admitted.

  "Why didn't you say so when Raleigh was here?" I hissed.
