Chapter 36: Long Lost Relative

Thaddeus’ POV

Once I hear my little mate call the unknown male ‘Daddy’, I stop growling and reaching for her. I take a better look at the man, trying to see if he has any of the same features as my Rosette. The first thing I see are his eyes, they are the same gunmetal blue. His hair, black with bits of gray, is similar to hers, but hers is darker. Though, what really tells me that they are related is the smile that the man is wearing on his face as he is staring down at her, holding her to him.

Rose pulls away from the man’s chest, tears still streaming down her face, smudging the little makeup she is wearing. “Where have you been? How have you been? What happened to you and mom?” She is firing off question after question, worry and curiosity rolling off her voice and pooling in her teary eyes.
