Chapter 16: The Awakening

Samuels POV

We took her body back to Adams house. Mercy and Anna cleaned up her body. They had her body on the first floor. Da said we were going to bury Tega here so I could see her all the time. Anna came out and sat next to Charles and put her face into his shoulder and cried softly. Why didn't she ask for help? Then a knock came from the front door. Adam got up at went to answer it.

"Who are you?"

Adam said with a growl. Then a low voice male voice came.

"My name is Rex. I came to see the family of Tega."

I jumped up to my feet and ran to the door. There was a man. . .no angel standing there. What we thought angels looked like we were wrong. This being was perfect in very way. Rex didn't have a shirt on or shoes. Just torn jeans that made him more perfect. "What do you want."

I growled. This was the one who took in my baby for a few years. His eyes were bloodred but there was sadness in them.

"You must be Samuel. Tega's real father. I so very sorry for your lose. We didn't think she would die."

A single tear ran down his face. Adam took a step back.

"Please come in."

Rex nodded a thank you to him then walked in. His wings was folded tightly to his back. I sat back down and put my head in my hands.

"So why have you come."

I said after a long pause.

"To say I am very sorry for Tega's death. She was the best of the best of killing fallens. If I knew she was going to die. . .I wouldn't let them make her do this. How much I wish I was there to help her. But something was wrong. She was meant to live not die." His voice trailed off. Then Da spoke up.

"What do you mean she was meant to live not die?"

There was anger in his voice that made me look up at him.

"We have a Angel that can tell us the reason why someone that was suppose to live but dies instead. The begging of the fight she had a reason to live but there was something went wrong.

She lost the will to live as she lay dying after the fight. Not even he knows why. But it had to do with someone she loved. That's all we know." He had more tears running down her face.

"Why do you cry when you don't have anything to do with Tega?"

I said bitterly to Rex. He looked over at me.

"Why do I cry for her? Cause she was the daughter of the only one that I loved. The one that you don't even remember at all. If it wasn't for you then maybe she would have loved me. Tega would have been my own daughter. But I would never know would I now. When I took her in for those few years. She might looked like her mother but she was more like you. I watched you for years but Tega was something more then a werewolf. She was someone that all would love if they got to know her."

He took a deep breath then went on.

"I thought I would just train her up then let her go. But then like I said you start to fall for her. It could be in the ways of a friends love, family love, or more then that. I started to love her like I thought I loved her mother. But thinking back then she was more like my best friend then anything. But Tega was to young at the time so I was going to wait for her. She would never see me as a mate. So I would be there for her in any way that she wanted me. Tega had that kind of power that made you want to be friends but piss her off that would be the last thing you did."

He cracked a small smile.

"Why are you tell us this?"

I said looked at him. Try to keep my voice calm.

"Cause you didn't get to know her like I did. She was a very special girl. Tega would have like to you know her better."

I was lost for words. Would she have told us about this? What else did he know about her that I didn't know? A lot I guess, he had years to get to know her and I didn't have that long.

"Would you mind if I went to see her?"

Rex ask me.

"Why are you asking me?"

I said back.

"Cause you are her father."

That took me my surprise.

"Yea sure down the hall."

He got up and went to Tega room. He was gone for a few minutes. When he came back he had this look on his face.

"What's up? Why do you look like that for?"

Rex sat back down.

"I really don't know. I better get going before time is up. They let me come and see her but now I have to go."

Then he got up bowed then left.

The funeral was in a few days. We were sitting around Tega's bed. She looked like she was getting color back into her face. But that might just be my eyes playing tricks on me. Then out of know were Tega sat up gasping for air.

We all looked at her as she took in deep breaths of air. She looked around but her eyes wasn't grey they were a deep bloodred like the angels eyes.

"Were am I?"

She said looking at every one in turn. Then what made my heart break was.

"Who are you people?"

She didn't know who we are. Da was the one to speak first.

"Before we tell you. How are you feeling?"

She gave a small smile.

"I feel ok I think. I feel a bit stiff but fine. Why do you ask?"

She looked kinda happy.

"We are your family Tega. I'm your grandfather. Your father is on the other side of you. Then your uncle is right here and this is your aunt."

He pointed to very one and she looked.

"Your joking right? If you were my grandfather then why are you looking so young?"

She didn't have any memories of us.

"That is because I'm a werewolf so is every one here and you are one to."

She nodded and started to look around.

"So angels and werewolf's are real then. Cool so I'm hungry."

She licked her lips. Mercy got up and went to get her some food. Her eyes started to turn back to grey.

"How did you know that angels are real?"

I said as she looked at Asil. Then she looked at me.

"Cause when I was in the dark there was people with wings. They told me that the darkness will be gone soon. But my memories will take some time to come back."

She eyed Mercy as she came back with a lot of food. Tega started to wolf down her food. We just watched her till she was done. Then she closed her eyes.

"My name is Tega I'm a werewolf. I died a few days ago taking down a fallen. My father is Samuel son of the Marrok Bran. As a brother named Charles mated to Anna." She looked over at me.

"Da?"

I nodded tears started to roll down my face. Then I hugged her and she patted my back calming me down. . .
