Chapter 162
“I knew your mother…”
“What?”
Lori asked as she stood up slowly.
“That’s a lie.”
She retorted and Astra nodded.
‘It’s been years but I still remember…”
“What do you remember?”
Lori asked and Astra shrugged.
“A pregnant nephilim on the run. She was in some sort of trouble with the father of her baby… she was avoiding everybody, even our kind.”
“Why? What did she do?!”
Lori asked as she gripped the edge of her seat. Astra gave her a pointed look.
‘Calm down. That sofa is new.”
She murmured and Lori relaxed.
Astra walked back to the window to check on their spy, he was no longer in the location he was before but Astra could bet that he was still around.
‘She didn’t tell me much. But she did tell me her name and you look a awful lot like her.”
‘Her name was lone.”
Astra answered and Lori furrowed her eyebrows.
‘Jone?’
It was the first time she was learning about her mother… anything about her. Lori didn’t realize how curious she had been about her until Astra had
mentioned her.
Jone.
What a strange namie… Lori wondered what she looked like. What she was like and why she chose to leave her.
‘And you’re sure… that she’s my mother?!”
She asked and Astra nodded.
I can. It’s just strange… that after all these years you also turn up.”

“Why was my mother running?”
Lori persisted and Astra shrugged.
‘I don’t know. I’m not sure about what exactly happened and I wouldn’t lie to you about it. But we have more pressing matters than that.”
‘You have exposed yourself Lori.”
“What?”
Lori fired back and Astra nodded, her expression serious.
“Our kind has stayed hidden in the shadows for years. Centuries even! Do you think we did that by choice?!”
Lori shook her head.
“No.”
She whispered.
“Exactly! We did it because we were being hunted. Hunted for our blood, turned into blood bags for other supernaturals…”
“You really think Sabine will keep your secret?”
‘I’m not expecting her to.”
Lori added.
“Then what are you doing with her? That woman is not to be trusted. Not after all you’ve told me…”
Lori shook her head.
“What do you want me to do?! She has my son!”
Astra groaned.
“This is bigger than I thought…”
“What do you mean?’
Lori asked and Astra ignored her.
Years and years of hiding and staying undercover all for it to be undone by some nephilim all because of a man.
It was sickening! If she helped Lori… it would implicate her. Greatly.
Her and every other nephilim. It would topple their delicate balance and Astra wasn’t quite ready for that to happen.
“You! Your relationship with that alpha! Your issue with Sabine! Everything you have told me!”

Wasn’t this woman meant to help her?
“What do you mean?! Are you helping me or not?”
