DRACO
I hate this, hate telling my children about their brother’s birth, hate having to utter the words that would reveal that he didn’t come from me. How can I ease the blow? Even now, I’m more worried about Gabe than the others because it’s always been about protecting him. It’s always been about him knowing that he belongs. I would’ve given my life, so he never knew about any of this, but it’s too late; it’s been taken out of my hands.
I tried not to resent my wife once again for her selfish act that had brought us to this. She’s been beating herself up for days over this and maybe even longer. “What do you mean not your son?” Anna was rightfully angry, and I wish I could take the hurt away, but it was only going to get worst. I had yet to tell them how their mother was abased.
