Chapter 14

Adam wanted to talk to me when I got up. We went in the kitchen and sat at the table. Ben, Mercy,Jesse and Sam were already sitting there.

"What did you want to talk about Adam?"

"Well I don't know where to start. You said that your mom said your father didn't think you were his because your mother was with another man around the time she got pregnant. Did she ever say anthing about that other guy."

"No she never said anything about him."

"Well I knew your mother Jade."

"Okay"

"I was looking at your birth certificate. Where you full term?"

"Yes"

"Well I had Sam calculate when you were conceived. It was around the same time I was with your mother. We were only together a couple of times. I didn't even know she was pregnant."

"What are you saying Adam?"

"I think I'm your father Jade."

"I knew I saw a flash of recognition in her face when she heard your name."

"Do you have a picture of your father?" It was Mercy.

"Yeah I'll go get it." I got up and got the picture I had of him. I handed it to Mercy. She took it and told me to stand beside Adam. So I did.

"I think you are right Adam. She looks nothing like the man in this picture."

"I know right. How can I put this. He a short little fucker. There is no way he is her father." I laughed

"Really I want to see." Jesse took a picture of me and him on the digital camera and printed it off. They all looked at it.

"She has my cheekbones and nose."

"Yeah and she also has your hair color."

"What do we do now?"

"I think we should get a DNA test."

"I think you are right Sam. I want to know if I have another daughter and a grandson."

"You mean if she is my sister I will have a nephew."

"What about Billy. He may not have thought I was his child but he has taken care of me."

"We can call him if you want."

"I think that would be a good idea." I took out my phone and dialed the number. I put the phone on speaker.

"Hello"

"Hey"

"How are you doing Jade."

"I'm alright. Are you sitting down? There's something I need to tell you."

"Yeah why what's up?"

"This is hard to say. I think you were right all these years."

"About what exactly?"

"About you not being my father. You know how I told you what I was and about the my alpha?"

"Yeah what does that have to do with anything."

"Well I found out that my mother was one too but only after she tried to kill me. I took her out with my alpha, my mate and two others. Well when I told her my alpha's name she recognized it."

"What is your alpha's name. You never did tell me that."

"It's Adam Hauptman."

"Really that's the name of the other guy your mother was with. I knew he was a werewolf because I saw him on TV."

"Well he was looking at my birth certificate and had a friend of his calculate what my mother's date of conception was and it was around the time they were together. We want to get a DNA test to find out for sure."

"Okay. I just want you to know that no matter what that test says I will continue to pay for your college and support you. I know that I haven't been there for you like I should have been but I want you to know that I will always consider you my daughter. Your mother gave me the greatest gift in the world a daughter and a grandson. I will always love you. You trusted me with your son even though I wasn't there for you. We are family even if we aren't father and daughter."

"Well I thank you. I love you too and always will."

"I just want Adam to know that I never had any hard feelings toward him. I always thought he was a good guy and it would be my honor to share a daughter and grandson with him."

"I feel the same way Billy. She is an amazing young woman."

We hung up. We all loaded into the car and went to the hospital. On the way there Jesse and I put in a CD. Adam got a shocked look on his face as the first song came on. We all laughed at him. Me and Jesse sang along. When we got there they put us a room. Sam swabbed me and Adam's mouth and sent them to the lab. He said the results should be in a few days. We went home and had dinner.

Three days later Sam showed up with the results. He handed them to Me. I looked at him and my hands shaking.

"You ready?"

"Yep lets do it."

"Okay" I opened the envelope and read it. I looked at Adam with tears in my eyes

"What?"

"You are my father. 99.9% accuracy." He looked at me confused.

"Then why do you look like you are going to cry?"

"Because I finally have the family I always dreamed of." He hugged me.

"Just my luck I'm in love and mated to the alpha's daughter." We all laughed

"Yeah that is just your luck huh."

"I want to put my name on your birth certificate and you to have my last name. If you would allow it."

"I would love that Dad." Adam showed me pictures of him when he was little.

"Jaden looks just like you."

"Really"

"Yeah I'll go get my pictures of him." I showed him all the pictures I had of Jaden.

"He is gorgeous."

"Thank you" We sat there talking for a couple of hours. He told me about how he met my mother and how different she was back then. I told him about how I grew up and what my mother turned into. Mercy and I made dinner while it was cooking Ben came in.

"Hey Adam can I talk to you in the safe room?"

"Sure" Ben gave me a kiss and followed Adam. I looked at Mercy and Jesse.

"Do either of you know what that was about?"

"Nope." They were telling the truth

"Ben looked nervous though." We all started laughing. They came up after a few minutes and Ben gave me a kiss as he sat down next to me to eat.

"There's a pack meeting tonight. I'm going to tell them that you are my daughter. They should start to arrive pretty soon."

"Okay could you tell them not to treat me any different then before?"

"I planned on it."

"Thanks I'm going to take a shower."

I took a shower and headed back to my room. I didn't shut my door I thought to myself. I opened and found Ben down on one knee with a ring in his hand.

"Jade Elizabeth Hauptman will you marry me?"

"Yes of course I will." He slipped the ring on my finger and stood up. I kissed him.

"Is that what you were talking to Adam about earlier?"

"Yes I had to ask his permission."

"I see" He took my hand and we walked into the living room. Everyone was there already. Adam cleared his throat.

"I wanted to bring you all up to speed on everything that's happened since the last meeting if you didn't already know. You probably know by now that Jade was attacked by members of her former pack including her mother. As you can see she is fine and those who attacked her are dead."

"Before you ask yes I took out my own mother and no I'm not upset about it. She tried to kill me."

"Seeing Jade's mother I realized that I knew her. Looking at Jade's birth certificate I realized that I could be her father so we did a DNA test which proved that I am in fact her father. Now that you all know you are not to treat her any different than you would anyone else." Warren laughed

"I thought she looked a lot like you. I thought it was just me and I wouldn't dream of treating her differently. She might get mad at me and kick my ass. "

"Damn right I would."

"How does it feel to be dating the alpha's daughter Ben?"

"We're not just dating. We are getting married."

"Really well congratulations. You are one lucky bastard Ben."

"Thanks I think so too." Jesse came up and hugged me and Ben.

"You better take care of my sister Ben."

"Don't worry Jesse I plan on it."

"Well let's see that ring damn it." I showed her the ring. She said how beautiful it was. Everyone asked me what I thought of being Adam's daughter. I told them that I feel lucky because he's a great man. Eventually everyone left. Ben and I went to bed and talked for a while.

"When do you want to get married."

"I was thinking how about the day we met?"

"Sounds good to me. So you want to get married June 24th."

"Yep. I figure 10 months is enough time."

"Anything you want."

We got married in the same church that Adam and Mercy got married in. Both Adam and Billy gave me away and my son was the ring bearer. Dave's little girl was the flower girl. Ben had Warren, Darryl and Sam as grooms men. I had Jesse, Mercy and Dave's wife as my brides maids. We spent our honey moon in a cabin in Montana. Bran's wedding present to us. When we got back we found out that Adam and Mercy were going to have a baby. They had a little boy a week after my birthday. I was so happy. I finally had the family I never thought I would have.
