She’s the other ghost Rachel meant when she talked about ghosts, plural.
“I’m the reason you’ve been disconnected from your wolf,” she tells me. “I gave you to that couple who raised you when you were young. I had to. You…”
“I was an Omega,” I murmur, connecting the dots.
She nods. “It was the only way to keep you safe. But you kept trying to find your way home. So, I possessed you to stop you. I had to do that a lot. I didn’t realize it would affect your connection to your wolf. I just wanted to stop you from getting back to Limestone Ridge.”
“He killed you, didn’t he?” I ask, knowing it before she nods.
“I went back after I found you a new home. Mercer sold your older sister when she turned out to be an Omega, and I wanted to find her.”
“My sister.” Holy fucking shit. I had a sister.
I think I remember her. She used to sing to me.
“I didn’t find her,” Mom says. “Mercer kept a ledger of the Omegas he sold. Your mate found it.”
I look at the red leather book Cheryl’s been holding, and I realize I’d assumed it was a witch thing.
“It’s coded,” Cheryl tells me. “But we’ll figure it out.”
I let go of her hand to take the ledger, and that’s when I understand the full weight of finding out Liam Mercer was my father. I look up at my mom. “These Omegas were his kids.”
She nods. “He’s been doing this for a long time. Limestone Ridge was the latest pack town he made, but there were others.”
This ledger contains details of all my half-siblings who were sold.
What about the rest?
I think about little Leo, and I know there must be more of them.
I look at Cheryl. “We’re going to take in anyone who wants to be in our pack, right?”
She nods. “Of course.”
“I want them to know who I am, and I want to find my sister.” I look at my mom, and she gives me a smile.
I can’t believe she’s here, but I know it’s her. One look at her face and I remembered the way she used to read to me in bed at night, the way she used to hug me. Her scent comes back to me, a warm reminder of home.
She never abandoned me. She gave me a good life. She saved me from Mercer long before my mate saved me from him.
My sister’s name pops into my head, a memory of a gold necklace with her name on it dangling in front of me as she sang me lullabies. “I want to find Ophelia.”
I want to find all of them. Who knows how many there are or how long it could take?
I look at my mom and I know I’m willing to spend my entire life searching to put right what Mercer did to wrong my siblings and their mothers and everyone else he hurt on his corrupt path to money and power.
This is important. It’s real. It’s where fate has been leading me.
I have a calling. Who would have guessed?
All it took was being wrongfully accused of murder to set me on my path.
Chapter One-Hundred-Seven
Cheryl
IgiveOscarsometime alone to talk with his mother. He connected the dots quickly when she started to explain, and I saw the determination on his face when he decided he would look for his siblings. It should be easier for him to connect with his wolf now that he knows he wasn’t abandoned, but I know it won’t be a simple task to decode that ledger.
