Reece walked home with me and waited until I took a bath, I made sure I didn't take too long so he wouldn't be waited for ages. It was now pretty late, so I decide to just change into a warm set of pyjamas. As I walk down the stairs Reece was sat at one of the counters, he had two cups of what looked like hot chocolate in front of him. He also had changed into some new clothes, did he sneak off home without telling me? That reminds me, I need to ask where he lives so I can visit him.
"I bet you're feeling so much better, I made some hot chocolate don't worry, I asked Cody's permission beforehand" he smiles handing me the warm drink, I smile joining him at the counter.
No one speaks for awhile, I was still getting used to living here with Cody but now, I'm having to get used to Reece being here and who he is. It doesn't change anything between us
I was at a lost for words staring at the girl, the story she was telling me just totally wiped me out. Since it happened, we've always wanted to have answers, I never thought they would be like this. Once her story was wrapped I hold my finger up telling her I needed a second, I turn with my hands on my hips just trying to process all the information I just heard."You do believe me don't you Luna?" She asks worry clear in her voice, the story was so unbelievable but by the way she told it, I knew it was true."Of course I believe you, now are you sure with no shadow of a doubt that it was Justin you saw?" I ask knowing if she got the wrong face, a innocent man was about to get hurt."I'm sure, his face has been haunting my dreams and thoughts since it happened, I don't think
I sit up in bed tossing and turning, it was so late and my body was tired but I couldn't stop thinking about Reece. Cody hasn't returned from chasing after him, if something did happen I know I would hear about it. I sigh placing my head against the headboard staring out the window, it was a full moon which meant the sky looked beautiful. I'm not the only one that feels so relaxed when looking at the moon and the stars am I? When my mother first went missing, I'd sit at my window just looking up at the moon. A part of me was always hoping wherever my mum was, she was looking up at the moon with me so technically she wasn't lost. I know I probably sound so weird but it was my way of holding out for hope, turns out she's been here all along.The thought of my mum just reminds me that I need to find her, she is the only one that has the power to stop my dad. Even if I'm the next in line to be the leader of the town,
"Sorry to just drop in like this son, your mother was saying how much she missed you" the man ,who I now know as Cody's dad said.He walks further into the kitchen placing their bags neatly on the counter, I look away knowing my face will just be of shock and surprise."That's correct hunny, I know the pack is important to you but you can't be working all the time. That was your father's problem, also the reason I told him to resign early" his mother says crossing her arms as she spoke, this is first time we're meeting and all I'm getting is stuck up vibes."Don't listen to her son, if she had to run a pack she would be the same way, how is the pack doing?" His dad asks but his eyes finally land on me, he's been too busy sorting bags to see me sat here.
The layout to his house was much different to ours, when you walked into his house it was immediately in the living room. Not that I could see much of the living room, it was full of papers, photos and scraps of paper. I walk forward and pick up a photo that was laying on the floor, it was of our group smiling at the lake, but someone had been cut out. I look away from that photo and find where the face had gone, on his main wall stood millions of photos of Justin's face and Justin stuck on the wall."I guess someone's been playing arts and crafts" I say walking towards the wall of Justin, this must have taken Reece hours."I needed that man out of all the photos of happy memories I have, how dare he even try to make happy memories with me after what he did" he growls from behind me, I turn to look at him pointing up at the wall of Justin "I was
I texted Ethan and told him I desperately needed to talk to him and my dad, this wasn't about the town or any borders but a family matter. I know Ethan will come no matter what, even if my dad were to tell him not too. The problem was if my dad was gonna come, he might think this is some kind of trap or something. I just need to prepare for anything, with that thought in mind I start heading towards the border.This was the first time I was making this journey alone, thankfully I walked it a few times so I wouldn't get lost. As I reach the border, I spot Ethan and just dad stood were waiting for me at that side. I send a smile over at them as one of the border guards makes his way over."The Alpha has informed us that you will having a talk with your family, we will be over there further away enough so we can't hear your private conversation, bu
"Tristan please listen to me, you don't have to do this!" I plead with him while fighting him off, I knew if he managed to get me in the water who knows what he'll do."We could have been so good Erika!" He shouts still fighting against me trying his hardest to pull me in the water with him, out of the corner of my eye I spot someone walking over.Martha appears out of the bushes with her arms crossed, at first a huge relief takes over my senses. In my mind I thought she would run over and help but she didn't, she stood there with a smile on her face."That's it Tristan, get rid of her then you and me can live the life of our dreams" she laughs which makes my eyes just go wide, she was planning this with him!"No
I had just wrapped up my storytelling moment, no one uttered a word or moved a single muscle. Martha looked as though she was gonna bolt at any time, while Scott and Cody stood there trying to wrap their heads around what I just told them."You lied to me" Scott mutters breaking the silence, at first I thought he was talking to me but he turns to Martha "everything you told me was a lie, you cared to leave out why that Tristan boy was trying to kill you, YOU TRIED TO KILL HER!" He shouts loosing his cool, I was more shocked he could actually shout that loud."You don't understand, I was jealous because Erika had everything, she had the boy, the family and she was just so beautiful" Martha says but I shake my head, this is what she always does! Whenever she's put in a situation where she's in the wrong, she attempts to make you feel bad so you fo
I wake up bright and early the next morning, all that was racing around my head was what I will tell Tristan. But not only that, I also had to work out what I was gonna tell Cody! I know if I tell him what I wanna do he won't let me, but this is something I need to do not only for myself, but also for Tristan. I don't want him getting out of where he is and having to find out that I've moved on, yeah he might have plotted to kill me but I still care about him enough not to put him through that.I was sitting in the kitchen when Cody runs down the stairs, he had a folder tucked under his arm while rummaging through stuff. I watch him for a few seconds, I thought I had more time to think of an excuse of where I'm gonna be today."Have you seen my keys?" He asks looking through a pot on the side, why would his keys be in there?
It's been a week since I took control over the town, let me tell you it's been a blast. That night we had a huge party, it stretched from the pack house all the way to the centre of town. I thought the towns people would be nervous about having the pack members walking the streets, but it was the opposite. Everyone was just so happy that all the fighting and the fear could be over with, my dad was even smiling.Today was the day we move the border that separates the town and the pack, now this part of town is a part of the pack. Which according to Cody, makes up one of the biggest packs in the country! Which is a big thing according to him, I wouldn't know I'm still learning about all the pack things.Ethan got released from hospital yesterday, the doctor is right he's slowly making a full recovery. Mum and dad finally spoke too, they have a lon
It's been two days since everything that happened with Ethan, who has woken up and is doing okay. Yesterday the whole day was spent coming up with a plan to get into the town, we knew one thing for definite and that was I needed to get into the town. Which was why the planning was taking this long, Cody didn't want to put me in any danger so every plan he was turning down! Reece couldn't wait to get control of the town again, one so all this mess would be over but two, he could make Justin pay for what he did to Kayleigh.After a few long hours of going over plans, Cody finally agreed to one, only because him and most of the pack will be coming with me! Which honestly, I didn't mind too much because I wasn't thrilled about the idea of going in there alone if I'm being honest. We decided the best time to go into the town would be really early in the morning, before the sunrise kind of early.Th
"Ethan?" I ask confused that he was even ringing me, he's rang me a few times since we've found mum again but it's always been at night, just in case our dad finds out."Luna, you need to come to the border immediately, your brothers been attacked" one of the border guards says, this immediately makes my heart sink and tears well up in my eyes.I hang up the phone and don't even stop to tell the others what happened, I just need to get to Ethan immediately. As I bolt out the door I hear my mum shouting my name, but I didn't and couldn't stop. I zip passed a pack member after pack member. Some would ask if I'm okay but I couldn't answer, all I could think about was my brother.I soon arrive at that border where I see him, Ethan was laying on the floor with the border guard over him. I waste no time running over and knelling b
It's been a week since I spoke to Tristan, the day after I felt so bad still. Maybe I should have gone about the conversation in a different way, yes all those things needed to he said but maybe not in the way I did. Cody hasn't left my either, he's telling me it's due to the huge meeting he has, he won't be home for the entire day and some of the night. I told him he didn't have to make up for that, we have loads of other days that we can spend every minute with each other.Today was the day of his huge meeting, when I woke up he wasn't there but he did leave me a sweet note. Remember when we had that mini picnic in my bedroom, the night I found out he was a werewolf and what we are. I kept saying over and over again that he was the perfect guy, that still stands with all the sweet notes he leaves me. I couldn't have asked for a nicer mate, especially after everything with Tristan! He told me in the note he would
Just to get into the building was difficult, you needed to wait outside for ages telling them your name and if you've set a meeting up. Than a man comes out asking for ID and starts to search you, just in case you're sneaking something in to give to one of the patients. I wasn't really too bothered about this, all my mind was focusing on was what I was gonna say to Tristan. I knew I had to word what I was gonna say in a way that wouldn't set him off, last time I was here he was better but still not fully there.After what feels like forever, I'm escorted into the building. Once the door closes you hear all the locks locking, they really don't want these people to get out. I lock my things away in a little box at reception, before following the man once again. We walk for a few more minutes until we reach the meeting room, once the door opens I spot Tristan sitting at the table."Erika, I'm so
