Right now my mind is full of fear and my hands shake as I write this letter. Don't hate me because I know that I ruined it all. Anne, Helena and Jason will come after me. They know that I am hiding this money somewhere and for the past two days they have been monitoring my movements. I can't inform the police because our family is rotten on the inside. I am so ashamed of Anne that I can't even begin. If I go to the police, the media will create a scandal and our family name will come down. I am scared…-

When she found her voice, she squeaked, "Cole these are gold bond certificates!" She picked up another one and found it was of similar quantity as the last one. She sifted through the pile and each of them had varied quantities mentioned in them but none was less than hundred troy ounces. "And what is that?" asked Cole knowing that it was definitely something huge judging by her reaction. He scratched his head as confusion set in. Dawn gulped. She started to laugh. "Father was too clever. He had been…

In the next one hour, the three were driving to the bank. The excitement, the anticipation, the anxiety—all the emotions had surged to an extent and Dawn and Cole weren't talking with each other. They were looking on the outside waiting for the driver to reach the bank. If it had been for Dawn, she would have shape shifted and reached the bank earlier, but she was with Cole. The bank was located in a quaint area away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. "This is the same area where we had come…

Dawn gazed away and licked her lips. When she looked at him, she found him staring at her without blinking his eyes. "Cole you are too young. Let me handle this." "No, I am not," he replied. "Just let me know who that man was." She had kept so many secrets from him to protect him and he respected it, but this was something he had to know, and urgently. Dawn knew that her brother would feel bad if she didn't spill it out. "It was Helena, Anne and Jason who murdered our father." A rumble formed in…

"Cole, where's the key father had given you? It used to hang around your neck always." Dawn's voice was shaky. "It's still hanging on my neck, duh! Why?" he replied matter of fact as if she was asking a ridiculous question. "Good! We will be needing it soon," she said and disconnected the phone. Daryn stared at her as if she had grown two heads. "Really?" Dawn let out a soft laugh. "You need to help me locate which bank does the key belong to." "Bank? It could be the key to anything!"…

Dawn stood and walked up to him. She growled. "Deal with it. Bree was a disgusting player and she used you, her father, for her selfish reasons." "No, I did it for her," Higgins answered. She lifted the black pants from her calf and showed him the scar of his bite. There was a scar where his jaws had pressed in her flesh—in a circle. The skin around that was slightly raised, rough and red. "That's what you gave me." Higgins saw it and laughed all the more. "That is so relieving! Dawn Wyatt…

"Oh. My. God!" Dawn got up and stared at her sorcerer husband. She was partially impressed by his abilities and partially angry with what he told about Jason. She closed her hands in tight fists and said, "Geoffrey revealed their plan in the court, but I was shocked when you took me to the room and told me about Helena over there." In that short interval of time when Dawn was sentenced to jail for two days, Daryn had to convince her to let him go instead. She wasn't agreeing but he wouldn't listen. He…

At the bar, after Daryn offered Brantley ginger ale, he said, "Dawn had told me about the conversation you had with her at Ensmoire." Brantley became uncomfortable. He looked away. "This is impossible. I won't bear the separation. And I will fight you guys if you will try to separate me from her." He was edgy, as if ready to fight with everyone for the sake of his mate. The way he looked at Dawn, it was as if she was trying to separate his soul from his body. There was misery in his expressions. He took…

Dawn was waiting in the car on the driver seat outside the prison and as soon as he stepped in, he turned back to his original self. He leaned towards her to give a long lingering kiss to his wife. "Let's go to your baby shower," he said and Dawn drove him away. "When the party's over, you have to tell me how did you come to know about Bree's plans?" said Dawn. He placed a hand on her thigh and said, "I need a bath, baby." He grinned at her and his sharp fangs became visible. "I will tell you…

"No!" Helena laughed. "Jason never bit you. It was Mr. Higgins, Bree's father. He bit you. You see he is a neotide and his daughter is aware of it." Dawn's eyes narrowed, fury turning into wrath. So Bree knew all along about it and she had been in cahoots with them. "Because of Bree's ambition, my whole life changed," she murmured. The emotional scar that had started to develop got peeled in a second and her heart started bleeding. The moment of revelation was not as she had imagined. It was worse.…
