Page 70 of His Fierce Lycan Luna
“It was you that poisoned the fruit?” I tell him and he chews his lip and nods his head.
“You bleached my room?”
He nods again,
“He also unbolted the stairs banister, that’s why he was cleaning them,” Liam growls, and Peter flinches, cowering away.
“How did you get past the guards to get in the room,” Trey asks him.
“I offered to clean the roof’s gutters, the window was cracked,” Peter answers and I press my lips in a line.
“Was it you that morning in the room? The window was open,” I tell him, and he hangs his head and nods.
Trey snarls at him, and Peter visibly makes himself smaller.
“I just wanted you to go back to Landeena, to leave the castle, I didn’t mean to kill your…” He looks at my stomach, and a tear rolls down his face, which he tries to hide as he glances away.
“Liam figured it out, and I knew they would remove me from the castle. I panicked and I went to take you hostage but then he lunged at me, so I stabbed you. I swear I didn’t mean it, command me please, ask anything. I will answer whatever you like. It wasn’t my intention to kill you but I freaked out.”
“If you didn’t intend to hurt her, why did you have a knife?” Liam asks.
“I always have it, it was my father’s,” Peter says.
“I thought you didn’t know your father,” I ask, and he shrugs.
“I’ve heard of him, apparently he wasn’t worth knowing.”
“So you know who he is?” I ask. Peter shakes his head.
“No, not even my grandparents know, just said he was a dead beat because he never came for me,” Peter answers.
“You don’t believe that?” I ask, curiously. I don’t know why I am asking him, I shouldn’t care, but for some reason I do.
“I don’t know, but then you came along and the King made her leave, I just wanted to scare you, make you leave so she could come back, it was the only time I got to see her,” Peter says.
“See who?” Trey asks, and Peter looks at the ground.
“She never comes to see me, she pretends I don’t exist,” Peter says, clearing his throat and wiping his face.
“At least here she has to speak to me, I would ask Clarice to let me help her, sometimes she would let me help her,” Peter says, wiping his face and rubbing his bloodshot eyes.
“Then you ruined it, you made her leave. I just wanted her to stay,” Peter says.
“Who are you talking about?” I ask. I haven’t made anyone leave that I am aware of.
“My mother,” Peter answers. Confusion washes over me, and by the looks on Liam and Trey’s face, they are just as confused.
“Grandpa said one day she would come around, that she would see me and come get me but she didn’t, so I got a job here to be near her,” he says.
Liam and Trey exchange wary looks. I am just as confused. .
“Peter, who is your mother?” I ask, trying to figure out who he is talking about.
“Ester, and you made her leave me again. I was going to make her see, see that I could be good, that I wasn’t like my father, that she could love me, and I wouldn’t leave her,” Peter says.
Ester is his mother?I am horrified by this news, but I am shocked more by the thunderous growl escapes from Trey. I jump at the sound, not expecting it.
