The front door slamming woke me from my slumber. I glanced at the battery-powered clock on the bedside table, it was barely four in the morning. Izzy lay tucked into my chest, I'd spent a rough night getting her to sleep, barely having an hour for myself.
Pulling a dagger out of my space I crept out of the bed to see Lex pacing in the living room.
For three months, I'd managed without hearing a word from him, only the occasional visit from Noah to check in on us. However, he and Will were out on a mission right now, checking a factory up North.

"Explain this," he shoved a piece of paper in my face. I grasped it with my left hand, keeping the dagger firmly in my right.
It was a piece of paper with DNA results, showing a 99.99% match.
