---- The tiny bones scattered across the ground. His child. His son or daughter. Dead. Max's face also changed, but compared to Garrett's shock, he was more angry: "That damn Maya! She has to cause trouble ona perfectly good day! What a bitch-" "How could she do this? Bringing dead babies to a mating ceremony?" "Alpha, Miss Maya specifically asked me to tell you that the files in the box will reveal the truth about the past." The delivery man nervously relayed my message, then hurried away. He didn't want to be around when the Alpha's rage exploded. Garrett was still somewhat dazed, as if he hadn't heard what the delivery man said. His mind was reeling. The child was real. The death ---- was real. Max scoffed and threw the box onto a nearby cleaning cart. "Playing tricks. What kind of scheme is Maya trying to pull now?" "She's probably trying to make you feel guilty so you'll come running after her." He grabbed the distracted Garrett and winked at him: "Brother-in-law, since Maya isn't coming, why don't you just hold the mating ceremony with Serena today instead?" "You love her anyway, and the wedding dress and rings were designed to her measurements."
