“Only way I can describe it, is we merged souls.” At this we all reacted, as the confession felt profound for a reason.

“That’s… that’s impossible… isn’t it?” my brother asked, clearly unsure.

“Not if it’s fated,” Dom replied, making Lucius agree in a tensed tone.

“Indeed.”

“What happened, how did you discover this?” I asked, wanting details.

“I took his memories, everything about his life I now knew but more importantly, I felt it all.”

“So, you became Frank?” I stated, making him nod, telling us,

“It was like I died that day as an Angel and was reborn into both mortal and Angel combined.”

“So that’s why no one could detect it in you?” Dom easily surmised, retaking his seat, whereas Frank remained standing.

“I was shocked when no one could. Didn’t expect it to happen but I was glad when it did.”

“You wanted out?” Lucius asked in surprise.

“I didn’t want in to begin with. I was forced into becoming a hunter, so I wasn’t going to look a gift horse in the mouth and not take the golden opportunity.”

Well I could understand that, as I hadn’t always wanted to be King.

“So, you stayed under the radar,” my brother said, prompting Frank to continue.

“Yeah, and with it, lived my life like a mortal. I had a family, had friends, all these people I now shared my memories with. I cared for them and with it…”

“You met a girl,” Dom said, making Frank sigh.

“Yeah, I met a girl,” he admitted with a smile as if now seeing the memory replay itself.

“But before settling down I knew I had one last job to do,” he told us.

“Which was?” I questioned.

“Payback for a dead man, hence why that bitch is buried in my backyard.” Orth laughed the once at this whereas Dom asked,

“You killed her?”

“She came back to the uncle’s house like I knew she would. Of course, by then it was too late for him, as he had been driven mad and drained of most his life. So, it was revenge for them both because, this time, I was ready for her,” he told us and I had to say, I couldn’t blame him, especially not as it was two souls he would have been getting revenge for.

“Hence, why your Enforcers have never found her,” Lucius pointed out; however, Dom’s mind was elsewhere, stating firmly,

“What you did was forbidden.”

“Yes, and I knew that, but knowing that no one would find out and seeing as I wasn’t harming anyone or upsetting the balance, well bluntly put, I didn’t give a shit.”

I had to say, his excuse was one I couldn’t blame him for being honest about. Because hadn’t I been ready to do the very same thing with Ella, when I didn’t know that she was my fated? It seemed that Frank and I were cut from the same cloth.

“Because you fell in love?” Orth asked.

“Shit yeah, I did. Libby became my whole world the day I saved her from being trampled on at that concert.”

“And Ella?” I asked, knowing that she had no idea who her father really was all this time. Now what she would do when she found out, I didn’t know, but I certainly wasn’t going to be the one to keep shit like this from her. Something I would be telling Frank as soon as his story was done.

“Was a big fucking shock! I had told Libby the chances of us getting pregnant were slim. Told her it was because of medical reasons. As yes, I was breaking the rules, but even I wasn’t going to go that far,” Frank said, surprising us yet again.
