We moved to the unoccupied part of the bed and Greyson climbed in first, leaving me enough space to climb in between, he locked me into his arms and placed gentle kisses on my head
And that was the way Clara found us when she walked into the room, a couple of minutes later.
It was only 5am and so I félt a little terrible that we were disturbing the older woman’s rest. She looked as bad as Greyson and I looked so it was obvious that she had barely gotten any rest and had spent the entire night trying to work on something for Jessy. I appreciated her more than I could express
Greyson and I moved out of the bed and after we exchange hellos with her. Greyson cut to the chase.
“What did you find out Clara? Would you be able to cure Jessy? What do we have to do.” Greyson asked in one go and I nodded my head to his questions to show my support.
“Let me just finish my routine check on her and then we can go to your office and talk, I have some really interesting news to share.” She said.
“And patiently, Greyson and I waited as she finished her check. Helping her at points where she needed our help. Twenty minutes later and she had given Jessy something that was helping to return more colors to her cheeks and she cleaned and changed Jessy’s clothes.
Jessy now looked like she were sleeping instead of the pale, almost dead looking like she had been looking all night.
I performed most of the jobs that Clara gave me almost robotically, I couldn’t stop my mind from wandering to what the interesting news might be. It could be good or bad And the fact that I couldn’t guess off the bat was making me more anxious.
Greyson’s face was a blank mask but from his stance, I could see how tense he was.
One thing I was grateful for, was Clara’s attention to detail when it came to Jessy. The woman was very meticulous in her work and it brought me a little ease.
Once she was done, she finally turned to address us. The smile on her lips that was probably there to help me feel at ease, unsettled me even more. The smile could be an interlude to the bad news.
“Shall we?” She said and turned around to exit the room, and myself and Greyson walked after her silently.
I couldn’t shake off the negativity no matter how much I tried.
“So what did you find out?” Greyson asked the moment we were settled on the coach in Greyson’s office, with both of us sharing a love seater and facing the healer that was sat opposite us.
“Freya, is it okay if I ask you some things regarding Jessy and her father?” Clara began and I furrowed my brows in confusion.
“I don’t know a lot about her father. It’s been us all through, but I’m willing to help as much as I can and with as much information as I can provide.” I said.
“I met him at a feast where I was a serving girl. The details of that night is not one I particularly enjoy divulging so I’ll like to skip it, but that was it. I never saw him after that night, I didn’t even get a good look at his face or anything else. He was an Alpha for sure, that’s all I could tell.” I explained and Clara nodded her head at my words.

“Alright that’s good, I spent all night working and I was thankfully about to gather a few things aliat might be able to help. So from my findings last night, I was able to gather that Jessy would need the blood of an Alpha since we are all aware that the blood of an Alpha contains healing properties.”
That shouldn’t be a problem, I could give her my blood.” Greyson offered immediately.
“That’s where it gets kind of tricky. Deadly Nightshade is very powerful and it would only take the blood of a relative to help completely flush out the toxins since it would come with a stronger bond and a more powerful force that should be sure to force the poison completely out of her.” Clara said.
“There’s no way I’ll be able to find Jessy’s father. I can’t identify him Clara I swear, that night is a blur in my mind. You have to find another way or jessy will die, please I beg you.” I said, tears stinging at my eyes already.
“Calm down Freya, I did say I had interesting news for you both. So I took Jessy’s blood last night and ran a blood test on it. I was more than surprised to find a couple of things; First, Jessy is an Alpha, then next, she shares the same bloodline with Greyson. Which could only mean one thing.”
My heart stuttered to a stop in my chest and when I turned to look at Greyson, he looked as pale as Jessy’s frame had looked when I had gone to the room to check up on her earlier in the morning.
Greyson was Jessy’s father.
The man that I was completely in love with at this moment, was the same man that I had spent years hating. This was the same man that had brought me pain and suffering.
It was too much for me to bear.
