off.”
    “You know, I’m about sick of your mouth,” Jonah growled, leaning toward her as he pointed in her face. “You know nothing about me or what happened.”
    Garrett stepped between the two. “Honestly, Jonah, I’m wondering the same thing.”
    Jonah dropped his hand backing away. “I called in a favor. I found a safe place for Virginia to stay and I left to keep her safe. This wasn’t about her anymore. Jasper wanted me and I knew it. So I had him chase me for months, leading him away from her.”
    “Didn’t you ever try to go back to her?” Janna asked, wanting him to say yes because she knew how much her mother had loved this man. Whenever she talked about her father, the love was not only in her eyes, but her voice.
    “It wasn’t until about three years later that Jasper finally gave up. Even though I was able to keep in touch with my friend who cared for Virginia, I never made contact with her. At least until I knew for sure it was safe. I knew she had been relocated so I took the chance to go see her, hoping….” Everyone was quiet as they watched Jonah’s emotions try to overtake him as his chin quivered, but he fought them back. “I saw her and a little girl.”
    “Me,” Janna added as if that needed to be said.
    His eyes came back into focus as he looked at her. “Yeah, you,” he replied. “She looked so happy that I didn’t want to disrupt her life, or family, so I walked away.”
    “I can’t believe that you were there and never came to her.” Janna shook her head, fighting tears. “You have no idea how much my mother loved you.” She was surprised at the anger that flamed Jonah’s face.
    “She didn’t love me.” Jonah gave a grunted laugh that held no humor. “When I saw you, you had to have been at least three years old or close to it. That tells me it didn’t take her long to find someone to take my place.”
    The pinching of her arms wasn’t doing it. She was about to go bat-shit crazy on the dumbass who was her father and too damn blind to see it. “My mother never found anyone to take your place, asshole.”
    “Well obviously, she did!” he yelled back at her, his temper matching hers. “Because there you stand.”
    “Yes, here I stand.” This time it was her leaning toward him in anger. “Staring at the man who was too much of a coward to walk up to the woman he claims was his mate, whatever in the fuck that means.”
    “Watch your mouth,” Jonah growled at her. “I know Virginia raised you better than that.”
    “You lost your rights to tell me anything when you walked away all those years ago,” Janna growled back. Seeing something flash behind his eyes warned her that he was putting two and two together, so she decided to help him along because she was sick and tired of the game. “Yeah, all I grew up hearing was how great you were. How you were coming back for us. How you would make everything right.”
    When he started to say something, Janna held up her hand stopping him.
    “Save it, Jonah McCall. I came to fulfill a promise to my dying mother.” Janna shook her head. This time it was her chin quivering, tears threatening to slip from her eyes, but she held them back. “To find my father and let him know about me and that my mother loved you.”
    Janna turned quickly to walk out and Garrett actually stepped out of her way, but Hunter didn’t move. Looking up slowly, she felt a tear slip, but didn’t raise her hand to wipe it away. “If you say one word to me, I will throat punch you.”
    A small, but evident quirk of Hunter’s lips slipped before it disappeared as he stepped out of her way. All four men watched her walk out of the kitchen and out of the house.

    “Holy shit.” Marcus shook his head, still staring at the direction Janna had disappeared. Then turned to Jonah.
    Ignoring Marcus, Garrett also watched Janna walk out of the kitchen. Opening his phone, he put it to his ear. “Hey, you have the car fixed?” Garrett
