Page 26 of Unforgivable Fate

Leo’s jaw was tight and he shook his head.

Darius immediately moved to him, “What’s wrong? Do you feel strange? Did Nova’s vision…”

“I feel fine.” Leo grumbled at his mate. “I’m just concerned that my sister isn’t telling us what she saw.”

“Oh.” Darius blinked, as if that part had completely slipped his mind.

“Yeah. Oh.”

“Calm down. It was a traumatic experience. I’m sure she’s going to get to the part where she tells us what she actually saw. There’s no need to immediately assume the worst.” Darius comforted his mate.

Griffin turned back to Nova. He wanted to ask why her brother automatically thought the vision must have been bad news if she wasn’t sharing it with him but he didn’t get a chance. Nova was already rolling her eyes and harrumphing right back at her brother, already back to her usual sassy self.

“Jeez, Leo. Let a girl get back on her feet before you start demanding answers.”

“I’ve asked multiple times what you saw and you ignored me.” He shot back.

“I was processing.”

“Process out loud and tell me what you saw.”

“Us.” Darius said more gently, “Tell us what you saw, please.”

“Are you sure you want to know?” Nova raised an eyebrow. “Because you’re well aware that if I tell you it could change the choices you make and the path you’re on.”

“It was something big then.” Leo stated, not a question. He glanced at Darius. “She wouldn’t be worried about altering our path if it was something small.”

“Babe, I don’t think something small could have knocked her off her feet like that.”

“Do you want to know?” Leo reached for his partner’s hand and Darius twined their fingers together. “You know I do, but if you don’t…”

“I want to know too.” Darius nodded and they both turned their attention back to Nova.

Griffin felt, suddenly, as if he was intruding on an important moment. Whatever Nova had to tell them was big news about their future. They were all family but he wasn’t. Not yet. He started to take a step back but Nova jerked her head towards him.

“Don’t leave yet.”

He blinked, “How did you…”

“I felt your reluctance to be part of this but you’re not intruding.” She glanced back at her brothers. “Is he?”

“No. Of course not.” Darius shook his head. “Whatever Nova has to tell us, you can be here for it. We trust you.”

“You’re going to be part of this family. You may as well stay.” Leo offered before turning back to his sister. “What? Don’t look at me like that. The man has something to do with you having stronger visions than ever and he’s your fated mate. You can fight the bond all you want but we all know you’re going to give in to it sooner or later.”

Nova narrowed her eyes at him, “Well since you seem to know everything, I guess you don’t need me to tell you about the vision after all.”

Leo growled, “Nova.”

She grinned, “Teasing.”

“Come on Nova. Stop stalling and tell us what you saw.” Darius seemed as excited as Leo now. “We want to know.”

“Okay. Just remember you asked for it…” Nova pretended to be serious for a moment and then a huge smile broke over her face again, “You’re going to have a son.”

The room went completely silent. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Griffin wasn’t sure if the other two men in the room were even breathing.

Leo was the one who broke first, blinking in surprise, “I’m sorry… What?”
