Harvest Moon: Bound to My Four Stepbrothers
Aziza’s P.O.V. We reach the prison an hour before midday and Armas is already waiting for us, so I get out of the SUV quickly to great him. I ask him if it is possible for me to question Roger and the look in his eyes tells me that he wants to object. “If I am correct, I will be able to solve a mystery that has already lasted over fifty years. However if I have to explain it to Ynanna, it might take a long time. If you feel uncomfortable with me being in a room with Roger, than send Ragnar with me.” He looks at Ragnar, who is wise enough to nod his head. I ask Armas to get everyone in the viewing-room and to make sure that the guards get Roger from his cage. I ask Ragnar to accompany me and the girls to the living-room on the first floor, knowing who is waiting up there. As we get of the elevator I ask Amanda what she has with her every day that her Mate left behind. A man outside the living-room gestures to someone to step forward as she answers me “He left a necklace behind, he said it belonged to his Grandmother. At first I didn’t want to wear it, after all I rejected him, but after two days of having it in my pocket I put it on and I have never taken it off.” She has tears in her eyes as she speak and suddenly she turns around, only to fall to her knees sobbing as she stares at the man down the hall. I see Rosa smile and I know what she wants to do, but my slight shake stops her from acting. He slowly walks towards us as he keeps his eyes locked with Amanda’s eyes and when he reaches her he crouches down and pulls her in to his arms. “I never gave up hope, Amanda. That is why I could never accept your rejection, you are mine no matter what.” He lifts her in his arms, kisses Rosa on the top of her head and tells the girls to follow him and Lucas to the living-room. As Ragnar and I get back on the elevator I link Armas to ask him if everyone is where I want them to be, he tells me that they are and I walk to the Chamber with Ragnar beside me.He opens the door for me and I see Roger’s head snap towards us as we walk in to the room. I walk around the table and sit down in the chair where Ynanna sat down in so many times before me. “Hello Roger, I am Investigator Aziza and this is Squad Captain Ragnar. We have just arrived here from your former Pack and I will be doing the questioning today.” I say as I look in to his eyes and his Wolf growls at me. “I have to give it to you, you made it pretty difficult to find answers in your former Pack or Archive. Unfortunately for you, no one told you how determent I am in finding answers. It took us a few days to go through every piece of paper in the Archive, but we managed to clear the floor and put everything were it belongs. I know you did it on purpose, but you failed.” I say with a smirk on my face. “Can you tell me what happened to Benton’s Mate?” He looks at me in confusion and I chuckle at the expression on his face. It only makes him mad, but I don’t care. “You know what, Roger. I will tell the story and if I get it wrong than you can correct me. Benton had a mate and I guess like everyone in your former Pack she was a chosen Mate, but she wasn’t a meek female like most of the others. I assume your Father did not react the way Benton had hoped when he complained about her, so he turned to you and you were more then willing to help him out. I doubt you were as evil back then as you are now and you probably made sure their Pup wasn’t home. Knowing what you are capable off, I assume you and Benton raped her and beat her to death or so you thought. You see, there are two things you have been wrong about. The first is that their Pup was home, she witnessed everything and the other is that Jamyla was still alive when you dropped her in to that canyon. Jamyla was a Lycan, so you could no longer hear her heart beat. Ten years later two men of the Council were sent on an assignment with only a picture of the man they had to serv a death warrant on, that man was Benton and his Daughter, Mahyna, pointed them in the right direction. How am I doing so far, Roger?” I ask him once I am finished. He stares at me and I can see his mind running a hundred miles an hour as he tries to process my words. I don’t wait for his answer, I continue with my story.“I know what happened to Mahyna and I will tell you. She left the Pack she was living in and joined the King’s Army, but what no one knew was that Benton changed her name as they moved in to the new Pack. She succeeded in her training and made an amazing career for herself, but your action had an unforeseen side effect. She lost her Lycan, she didn’t find her Mate as she had hoped. However something happened recently and for the first time her Lycan spoke to her, finding out she has a Mate. Despite what you and her Father did, she is happy and she will finally be able to put her past behind her. Her Mate marked her and with the help from him and his Lycan she can handle what I am about to tell you.” I look from Roger to the one-way mirror. “Benton gave her a new name and that name is Ynanna.” Roger’s Wolf roars as I speak her name and Ragnar steps a little closer to my side. “Lets go, Ragnar. I have seen more than enough of this asshole.” Ragnar helps me get out of the chair and guides me to the door as Roger’s Wolf is still roaring. Ragnar’s P.O.V. I am shocked as I listen to the story she tells Roger and the more she says the more pieces fall in to place. She had already solved the puzzle before she sat down in that chair, but what catches me of guard is when she says that Ynanna is Mahyna. We walk out the Chamber towards Council-member Armas, he has a worried look on his face and I have a feeling he is not pleased with Aziza. He doesn’t speak as he leads the way to a meeting-room down the hall and I keep my hand on her lower back. Everyone is sitting around the large table, Ynanna is sitting on Kaelan’s lap and his hands are slowly moving up and down her back. There are two seats left and I know that today she will not be sitting on my lap, which isn’t sitting right with Donny. Once we are seated Aziza looks at Armas as if to say “Let me have it” and I am proud of how she holds herself. He turns away from her and stands in front of the window with his hands on his back. “Aziza, care to explain what you were thinking? Why didn’t you warn us up front? How could you be so careless?” He fires the questions at her and Donny wants to make it known that he is not pleased. “Council-member Armas, I didn’t warn anyone for one simple reason. I needed everyone present, so you all could see the look on his face as I told him the truth. I knew with Kaelan by her side, Ynanna and Ivy would be able to deal with the truth about her parents. The only thing I was not sure of was whether Roger or Benton dropped Jamyla in to the canyon. Ynanna, can you tell me what happened while I was talking to Roger?” She asks and I know that everyone wants to hear the answer to that question.
