-MIA DAWSON-

"What is it?" I ask her after she has calmed down.

We are seated on the dining table. Axel and grandpa, I decided to call him that for now, are watching us intensively across the room giving us some space which I needed as much as I needed air to breathe now. The only person I know and I believe is my mum, I couldn't even trust Axel, he seem to know more about this situation and is not willing to tell me.

I heard a glimpse of him talking to grandpa about shifters and such words that I have no idea what were they talking about. But I let it go for now and will definitely ask that to him later.

Now my only concern is my mum, I want to hear answers from her for all the questions that is breaking my skull, why was she so petrified about grandpa, how does she know Robert ? And I know for the fact that she knew more than this. And i am waiting for my answers, I cannot survive from anymore sugar coated lies and turn blind eyes from truth, I want to know it, however ugly it may be. I definitely don't want to be protected from their lies.

"Please don't hate me, Mia. I have always loved you more than anyone , you have given me a purpose to live , I knew this day would come and I had to rotten with all my filthy lies but I just thought it would be a bit late.." she starts rambling words. What is she saying?

"Mum, I love you I always will. So just tell me what is it?" I ask, my heart beating loudly that I can hear it.

"No... i am not ... not your mom..." she finishes and weeps. My heart beats fast as it going to explode any second. My heads spinning and my vision blurs as tears streaming from my eye.

"You are lying right?" I ask shakily. It must be a lie. Ya it must be. Yes

"No...Your parents died in an accident 5 years ago" she hugged me and I could feel myself shaking in her hold. My parents died? Yes I was in a accident 5 years ago which caused me to be in coma for a month and when I woke up I only saw my mum not my dad when I asked her she said he has gone abroad for job, and I also found her acting weird but she convinced me that was because of that accident.

Everything is becoming evidently clean now. So that is what all is about. She was never my mum. She was nobody to begin with. That is why she would act cold and stern at the start. Whenever I mentioned my father she would act like he is busy and will not come home even for Christmas and other occasions and I should not disturb him and be a good girl.

A 'good girl' to whom? To a person I thought was my mum all these years and a woman who lied about my parent's death. I push my so-called mum away.

"Mia...sweetie"

"Don't, don't you ever call me that" I scream. I just want to be alone.

"I am so sorry I ju-"

"Don't just- don't" I cut her off. So that is why she would act so distant whenever I mentioned how good our family was before the accident with dad around. Dad... mom... I miss them. I fell on the ground I couldn't stop my tears. I love them...

"They thought this was the way to keep you safe" the women in front of me told. They?

"Who?" I ask.

"We..." Axel spoke dropped in his knees, eyes pleading for forgiveness I suppose, which he surely won't get from me.
