บท 61: Clearing up the air (2)

Author's note: This is from Zoe's point of view

I was confused. I expected Luca to bring up the point that we are fated mates, or to talk about my wolf, or about the fact that I ran away the moment I realized we are mates, but he just said that he lied. Did he really think I will understand that?

"What did you lie about?"

Luca puffed his cheeks and closed his eyes before lifting his gaze to meet mine. "I was about ten years old when I overheard Joe talking to his drinking buddies. Our mothers worked for him by… serving other men. Joe would set them up to work and ensure their safety while taking a cut. In order to keep them tied to him, he gave us his last name and claimed that we are his."

The whole world slowed down as I processed Luca's words.

"What are you saying?", I asked breathily.

'He just said that Joe is not your father!', Diana screamed enthusiastically in my head.
