Rejected and Pregnant I Fled The Pack (Evelyn and Damon) novel Chapter 168

I stood carefully, understanding I needed to leave, to process everything I'd just learned before determining any actual next steps.

"How do I reach you," I asked, "once we've begun the verification process?"

She provided contact information, and I left the diner with Callum and the warriors immediately converging around me, their expressions carrying obvious concern at whatever they could read in my own troubled expression.

"What happened," Callum asked, once we were safely away from the diner.

I explained everything, watching his expression shift through the same disbelief and troubled concern I'd experienced myself throughout the entire unsettling conversation.

"If this is genuinely true," Callum said slowly, "if Genevieve actually drugged and assaulted your father, that's an entirely different, considerably more serious situation than we initially understood."

"I know," I said, my voice tight with barely controlled emotion. "I need to talk to him directly, Callum. Immediately."

We made our way back toward pack lands, and I spent the entire drive attempting to process everything, understanding the genuine, devastating weight of what I might now need to reveal to my father—not simply an unknown daughter from a consensual, if inappropriate, past relationship, but potentially a child conceived through violation he might not even fully remember or understand had occurred.

I found him at home, settled comfortably with my mother in their living room, and felt genuine dread building as I approached, understanding the conversation ahead would likely prove devastating regardless of how carefully I attempted to navigate it.

"Damon." My mother looked up immediately, something in my expression apparently alerting her to serious, troubling news. "What's happened?"

I hesitated, understanding I needed my father alone for at least the initial portion of this conversation, though ultimately recognizing my mother deserved to understand everything too, given how directly it affected their continued reconciliation.
