You Make it Possible-Under Re-Write

"You can't ask me to do that" I say softly.

"I can and I will" she says sternly.

"He already marked me mom" I say immediately.

"You let him mark you!" She yells standing to her feet.

I flinch at her tone. "Yes" I say trying to keep my voice strong.

"You have no idea what you've done" she says shaking her head, tears now streaming down her face.

"I need to know if you had the gene mom, who has it because it's not Abuelita" I say.

"I'm not discussing this with you" she says brushing passed me and going towards her bedroom.

"Yes you are" I say now standing to my feet and facing her, but her back is still towards me.

She turns around and suddenly she's not my mother anymore. Her usual loving face was masked by anger.

"If you don't, you'll not only be placing yourself in danger, but me your dad and everyone in this house." She says low but with so much anger it doesn't even sound like my mother either.

"We might already be in danger mom, you need to talk to me" I say softly, tears now threatening to fall.

"Someone found you already" she states.

I nod. "Yes." I knew she meant the man, it's the only explanation.

"What did they say" she says walking closer to me.

"Ezekiel is coming" I say with a shaky voice.

She nods and turns her head down. She looks defeated now. Almost a broken version of her angry side, she still didn't look like my mother. My mother had never looked this sad and defeated before.

I knew this was bad, but if it was enough to break my mother I knew it was worse.

"Ezekiel was my mate" she says sadly and walks to the couch.

She pats the spot next to her for me to sit. I slowly walk over and sit next to her, and I reach for her hand to hold, luckily she accepts it.

"He wasn't like what I guess Kai is like." She says with a sad smile.

"He was possessive and mean, just a dark soulless person." She says sadly.

"But because I was his mate he kept me as property, his property to toy with and abuse." She says.

"Your grandparents didn't know he was abusive, he hid it well, and he always threatened to kill me or my family if I ever told."

Her voice gets shakier and shakier.

"One night one of the male guards stood up for me when he saw how he treated me, he was jealous and accused me of cheating on him, so he killed him and marked and mated with me that night... forcefully." She says taking her hand from mine and covered her face.

"Mom" I croak out.

"And I got pregnant with you" she says with her face still in her hands.
