What if one or both of Blake's parents are alive, but she thinks they are dead because one was dead, the other was actually captured/both were captured so she assumed death not knowing about the capture. For some reason, I could picture Roman having a very private manor where he keeps a collection of Fanus, a male and female of each type. Among that group could be the parent Blake doesn't know is alive (thinking father alone since it would further allude to Beauty and the Beast if mother was human and father was Fanus and mother wouldn't add to Roman's collection). If that sounds too freaky for Roman, Cinder could have tracked down the assumed dead parent and is now keeping him/her in order to have leverage against Blake in the future.
