Monster Dragon (The Feisty Dragons 3) - Page 40

“The necklace holds the essence of your brother,” she said. “As long as it glows, I know he’s alive.”

“And Dad?” Christopher asked through clenched teeth.

“Your father went with the Mages of Kunzite to kill the witch,” Raya said. “And he never came back.”

Winter looked over at her husband, her mate, and she saw a single tear slid down his cheek. This wasn’t exactly how they planned to spend their mating day, but it didn’t matter. What mattered was that Raya had been carrying this horrible burden all by herself. She’d been tortured with the pressure of keeping this all to herself.

Winter reached for Raya’s cheek and touched it softly.

“I think I speak for all of us when I say that we will help you,” she said. “We will find Felix for you.”

AFTER HIS MOTHER’S great reveal, Brian didn’t feel like dancing anymore. Nobody did. He called off the rest of the party, and the guests were too drunk and full of cookies to notice that the party was over prematurely. Brian and his brothers helped their mother to her hotel room, and then the three of them gathered with their mates in Brian and Winter’s honeymoon suite.

“Did you know?” Brian asked.

“No,” Christopher shook his head. “I had no idea.”

“I definitely didn’t fucking know,” Declan grunted, crossing his arms over his chest. “Another brother? How could any of us have guessed that?”

“Every one of our mates commented on Mom’s necklace,” Brian pointed out. “None of us even thought to ask her about it.”

Perhaps that was what bothered him the most. He remembered each of the human girls being very interested in the necklace. Apparently, it did hold power. It was beautiful, Brian thought, and it was lovely, and apparently, it was the only link his mother had to his brother.

“We have to help her,” Brian said.

“We have to find him,” Christopher agreed.

“She’s one of us,” Declan was on board, too.

“So, it’s settled,” Allison said. “I’ll start looking online tomorrow to see what information I can find. There have to be records of some sort regarding this.”

“I never saw anything online about us having a damn brother,” Christopher muttered.

“Well, it happened before you all launched your enormous security company,” Allison said. “And it happened before the Internet was really big, you know?”

“I’ll help you look, too,” Winter said. Brian was filled with pride that his mate was just as on board with this as his brothers were. Winter had some incredible skills when it came to research.

“I don’t know how much help I’ll be,” Zoa piped up. “I’m just an accountant, but, well, I’ll do what I can.”

Once the brothers and their mates parted ways, Brian and Winter were left alone. They sat on the bed in their honeymoon suite, and they just looked at each other.

“This really wasn’t the way I saw today going,” he admitted.

“It’s okay,” Winter promised him.

“Thanks for being so supportive.”

“Of course,” she whispered. “You’re my mate, Brian, and Felix is your family.”

“I can’t believe I never knew.”

“It’s hard when we learn something new about our family,” Winter agreed. “There are a lot of emotions surrounding something like this.”

“My mom should have told me sooner,” he told Winter. He’d probably never admit that to anyone else, but Winter could handle it. He could trust her.

“I know, but she didn’t, so we just have to deal with that.”

“I agree,” he nodded. Still, the fact that she hadn’t trusted any of the brothers with this secret stung a bit. Brian wasn’t a parent yet, so he didn’t know just how difficult a choice like this could be, but he knew one thing. He was going to do whatever it took to help find his brother and to bring peace to his mom.
