Everyone toasts and cheers including my mother, she still doesn't know that I know what I am, I need to speak to her about it all soon. My glass is still in the air thinking about what he just said.
Welcome to the pack? I will be part of another pack as soon as I leave school. Will that make us enemies? God, I can’t be in his pack! How am I going to tell them this?
I slowly sip my drink as I watch everyone hungrily dive into their food; they look like they haven't eaten in days. I look down at my plate and find that I'm not hungry after all. I feel someone’s hand on my leg and it brings me back to reality.
Drake asks, “You okay?” I smile at him and take a bite of food so I don’t need to give him an answer.
Amber and Mom decided to clear the dishes when everyone’s done.
“Where have you been this past month Lex?” Chloe asks me out of the blue, she takes me off guard as I stumble for an answer.
“I stayed with my friend.” I tell her and they have weird looks on their faces.
“Who were the guys that took you? We smelt their scents.” Drake says in a serious tone next to me.
“I’m not sure, I just called Alex to fetch me and all I remember was waking up at her place. I was out for about two and a half weeks, my body was exhausted but when I woke up everything was fine.” I tell them trying to convince them it’s the truth.
“Oh my God…” I hear Chloe gasp.
“Have you been working out? You look more toned and you’re not so scrawny?” Jax asks.
“Jeesh, thanks Jax.” I tease him.
“You know I didn’t mean it like that, you’ve always been beautiful baby.” He replies earning him a growl from Drake, Jax chuckles at this.
“I’ve been running a lot, not much working out.” I lie not wanting them to know why and who I’ve been working out with because I know it will only raise more questions.
“Whose sweet ride is that outside?” Ronny asks as Chloe, Jax, Drake and I head to the lounge. With Drake and Jax on either side of me and Chloe on the other side of the corner couch leaving a space for Ronny to sit beside her.
“Mine…I mean...Alex’s …she lent it to me. They’re quite wealthy.” I tell them noticing their suspicious looks.
“Is Alex a wolf?” Jax asks me.
“Yeah…she is, that’s how I discovered the whole werewolf thing.” I tell them
.“Have you been to their pack house?” Drake asks me nervously.
“Yeah I’ve been staying with Alex there.” I tell them as my mom bursts in the lounge with a shocked look on her face.
“You’ve been staying at the Fort Hills Pack house? Have you met the Alpha and Luna?” she asks in a worried tone. “Do they know about me and where we stay?” she continues.
“I’ve been staying there but haven’t really met anyone besides Alex’s family, yes Alex knows about us and where I stay, is that a problem? Mom we really need to talk… I have so many questions about you…dad and…me...” I trail off looking at Drakes hands which are now entwined with mine.
“Yes of course sweetie, but right now…um…I got to go. Amber we got that thing we need to do.” Georgina says and I can see she’s making it up because Amber has a confused look on her face.
“Glad you’re back hun, don’t wait up for me, I will just stay over at Amb’z house tonight.” She says as she basically runs out the house dragging Amber behind her.
My friends all look at me with sad looks. Why are they sad? I can’t help but think that they know more than what I suspected.
“Is she a wolf too?” I ask them remembering what Alex and Johnny told me about her being human.
They all look at Jax for a reply. “Yeah Lexi…she is.” He says.
That doesn't add up...
“And my father?” I ask.
“From what your mother has told us he was turned. You see your father was human before but bitten by a rogue when he was younger and he survived the shift. He then met your mother and they were mates. What we found weird was that it is impossible for a human and a werewolf to reproduce children but I guess since your father was turned when he was really young he probably had more wolf in him than human and so they were able to have you. You don’t smell like a wolf though but that could be because you haven’t turned yet. Usually male wolves turn into their wolf form when they are sixteen and females only turn into theirs on their eighteenth birthday even though they can feel their wolf inside them. You’ll probably turn on your eighteenth birthday and the reason you smell human to us is because your father was born human. My father has been looking into it ever since your mother asked to join our pack.”
