I get off Harry’s lap as Reece pulls out a huge pile of documents setting them down on the table.
“This is the adoption papers from every adoption around here,” he says, pulling a few more out which was a lot.
“How did you get all these?” I ask looking at how big the pile was, it doesn’t look like he works for anyone down in the government to give him this.
“You tell me what you need I give it to you, none of us asks questions,” he says looking at me in the eye, which makes me look down standing behind where Harry was sitting, he freaked me out.
“Now I’ll leave you two to it, I’ll get us a coffee,” he says patting me on the shoulder before walking out the room closing the door behind him, once I heard the second door close I turn to Harry.
“What was that?”I ask but he stands opening the files open ignoring me at first.
“That’s Reece, he’s a good friend of mine” he says, but I knew he knew I wasn’t talking about Reece.
“Not him, why did you let him believe we were mates?” I ask, but he shrugs his shoulders pulling more files out the boxes.
“Didn’t think I needed to correct him” he says shrugging again like it wasn’t a big deal, but this was a huge deal!
“If Ryan finds out-” I say but I’m cut off very aggressively.
“Ryan isn’t gonna find out neither is Martha,” he says dropping the files pushing me up against the wall quite hard.
“What you doing?” I ask but he just looks me dead in the eye, freaking me out just like Reece.
“You’re not allowed to tell anyone we came here, this stays between you and I, got it,” he says which makes fear creek into my emotions, I nod looking down.
He finally released me from the wall where he walks over to the files, once again looking through them.
“Does he know about Martha?” I ask which makes him freeze “he doesn’t does he?” I ask, he just places a stack of papers down.
“No he doesn’t and I plan on keeping it that way,” he says reading through some papers putting more on the desk.
“Are you scared of how he’ll react if he finds out?” I ask but he just drops the papers on the desk looking at me.
“Drop it okay, I’m not telling him let’s just get over it,” he says annoyed, I nod walking over to look through the files with him.
“My birth name was Yasmin, I don’t know what my last name was, “I say looking up at him smiling, hoping he wouldn’t be angry cause I kind of need his help.
“That makes it a bit easier” he smiles helping me look through the papers as Reece walks back through the door.
“I’m back friends, made any progress?” He asks holding three cups of coffee passing them to us.
“Nope but we’re still looking,” Harry says taking a sip from his drink, I didn’t know if I should trust this dudes drinks.
“Don’t worry Savannah we’ll find something” Reece smiles picking up another box off the floor beginning to look through it, this is gonna take forever.
It’s been four hours and we still haven’t found anything, there’s loads of Yasmin’s but none of them are me, Ryan is definitely gonna be awake and probably freaking out.
“That’s everything,” Reece says dropping the final file onto the floor, where most of them have gone.
“This is just even more confusing, my parents adopted me but from where? I couldn’t have just appeared,” I say standing up walking around the room, mostly talking to myself.
“Maybe that’s it,” Reece says from his desk, which just makes me look at him confused.
“You’re saying I just appeared out of nowhere,” I say, does he know where people come from? someone must have given him the talk by now, but she shakes his head.
“We’ve looked through all these adoption papers, what if you’re not gonna be in the documents because you weren’t adopted by your parents,” he says, Harry turns to look at me but I didn’t have any idea what Reece was getting at.
“What are you saying?” I ask, Reece looks to Harry who decided to speak this time.
“What if you’re not on the adoption papers because you weren’t adopted, you were kidnapped,” he says, which makes me take steps back, okay how did he jump to that conclusion but thinking it made sense.
Is that what my wolf meant by taken from my family?
“I’m afraid it was” she chimes in, which just makes me put my hand to my mouth tears pricking my eyes what the heck.
“Who kidnapped me?” I ask her, but she stays silent for a second.
“Mates parents,” she simply says, I just run my hand through my hair as Harry walks over.
“I know it’s something you didn’t wanna hear,” he says as a single tear ran down my face, he wraps his arms around me telling me it would all be okay.
“Now if you do wanna go down that road, I can get the documents but it’s gonna take me a while to get a hold of them,” Reece says behind us as I pull away from Harry looking over at him.
“If I give you my number will you call when you get them?” I ask writing my number on a piece of paper with my name.
“Of course I will” he smiles softly, a first I thought he was crazy but actually he seems nice.
“We better get going,” Harry says putting his hand on my shoulder, yep Ryan’s probably losing his mind.
“Thank you” I smile to Reece as Harry opens the door for me to walk out into the dark corridor again.
“It’s been a pleasure meeting you Savannah and congratulations on finding each other” he smiles but I just walk out and up the stairs not wanting to put that act on anymore, Harry close behind me.
Once we made it to the car I realised I left my phone on my seat, I pick it up and see 30 missed calls from Ryan and a lot of text messages.
“We’re gonna have to go straight home before Ryan goes crazy,” I say putting my seat belt on as he turns the car on pulling off into the road heading home.
We were halfway home I was just staring out the window thinking, how could someone take me from my parents? Did my parents do something to annoy them or was it just a random event. I didn’t know my parents or well Ryan’s parents would do anything like that.
“How are you holding up?” Harry asks snapping me out of my thoughts breaking the silence.
“Yeah I’m okay” I smile looking over at him for a second he nods looking back at the road.
“Why don’t you want Reece to know about Martha?” I ask looking back over at him, that’s the question he avoided back there.
“No one knows about Martha, not even my family,” he says keeping his eyes glued to the road.
“Why not your mates?” I ask shocked looking over at hi, he just sighs leaning back in his seat.
“Our families didn’t get off on the right foot, they think I rejected her” he sighs sadly clearing getting upset thinking about it “can we stop talking about this and just get home, it’s been a rough morning? ” he asks I looking back out the window.
It’s definitely been a rough morning.
