For the time being, things had worked out pretty well.
For the time being.
That would last maybe a week in my world.
I leaned back in my chair, watching my Star and the surprise I’d been keeping from her interact with my family.
Mom fucking adored my dove, which wasn’t surprising because I loved her.
Blue was there too, smiling like her whole world wasn’t still burning and she hadn’t just found out her husband had a psychotic bitch as a daughter. As if that psycho wasn’t helping keep Lilith with Samael.
“Have you told her yet?” My dad spoke from beside me, watching the same scene I was.
Tell Star the man who fathered her was the one responsible for her scars and her pain?
That he hid behind his own father, an old man, because he couldn’t face her?
No.
She’d stopped asking me about who was behind A.R.C only days ago.
I don’t know who it was that raised her, but he’d done his best.
Correction.
He’d done his best up until he allowed himself to be lured to the one place he’d been told not to go. Dumb motherfucker.
I’d just gotten her to focus on something else. It would come up again eventually, and I’d deal with it then. Right now, at least she had Claire back. Asmodeus had their father. He’d taken him that very night, and whatever he did to him wasn’t my concern.
“No. I haven’t decided if I want to.”
“He really is your son,” Uncle Grimm joked, passing a drink to Ice.
“He’s turned out exactly as he should’ve,” Dad replied proudly. “And you got the girl you were meant to get.”
“That sounds like you knew this would happen,” Cam remarked.
Cobra chuckled at Dad’s ensuing silence.
Sometimes I wondered if he sat around with little figurines and decided exactly how the fuck our lives would go.
Dad knew that peace and pain went hand in hand. He knew that we’d never survive without the OG Savages unless we got through shit most people could never come back from and relied on each other when the time was right. For those of us that didn’t make it, we wouldn’t have stood a chance in the long run.
I glanced over at Cam, following his stare to the girl sitting on the other side of his mom.
“What’s she doing here?”
“She’s the one who brought in Claire,” Grimm answered.
I caught a smirk on my dad’s face and shook my head. I knew exactly where this was going.
“Has Claire said anything?” Ice questioned.
“Oh, she’s said a lot. That’s why she’s alive. Pixie made it clear to keep her fuckin mouth shut about what she told us.”
Of course, he used my mother to make the girl talk. Fuck, I would talk too if left alone in a room with her. Getting in trouble when we were kids fucking sucked. More so for Addy.
“Are you going to tell us, or are you going to make us guess?” Cam asked.
