Chapter 66 Lachlan

• I sit taking in the mess of the drama my Dad has literally just exposed. I did not want this to come out like this. I had known as soon as Della had come and spoken to me, the moment the letter had been passed to me and I had begun to read it, I knew the time had come for our pack to step up, to do what we had been preparing for for years, since my Great-grandmother had died. Another gifted wolf had been blessed to our family. It was our job to protect her. Though she was yet to be aware she was even part of our family.
• I don’t know what would have been the best way to break this news to Violet, to Tate or to Hattie. It was such massive news. But I know my mate is going to be irate with me and I am likely to never hear the end of this. No doubt her seeing this as a betrayal of her trust. But when I had received the letter I had gone straight to my father and he had told me nothing was to be said to anyone other than us. It was to stay secret. He said he would know the moment he saw Violet, and, as it turned out, he did.
• I can't imagine the fear Violet’s father must have felt knowing his wife was carrying a baby girl, knowing she would possibly be the next gifted wolf within our family, and knowing what his own father had done to his own mother, he would know that there was no way of trusting him, family or not. The fact he would willingly sell his own mother for her gifts had proven that. And no good father would put his child at risk. He had done the right thing, without a doubt. I am just glad that Della had been able to find us to protect Violet now, because on her own I dread to think about what could have happened.
