Chapter 3

P.O.V jack

the rest of the night wasnt really eventful. so i went to bed just to pass the time.

**************************************

when i got up the next morning i had to call thomas to come over and help me i was kind of stressing out over not knowing what to wear. 

"bro you really need to stop being a girl over this just wear what you always do its not like she will reject you just because of this....plus didnt you say that you told them that you would be over at noon?" he says flopping down on my bed.

"ya i did say that...why?"

"well noon is in like....5 min"

"what?!!! why didnt you say anything before now" i yell at him as i grab a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt and shove my feet in my cons and running to my car and speed towards her house hoping that i am able to make it there on time before noon hits. i pull into her drive way with a few seconds to spare. i sigh and climb out and walk up to the door, before i could even knock beth opens the door.

"hey beth i made it just in time" i say laughing.

"you are right on time. its nice to see an alpha that is punctual. its a nice change."

"who is it beth?" Ren yells from inside the house. the echo tells me shes in the kitchen probably at the table.

"come in hun. im glad we dont live on pack territory" beth says opening the door more so i could walk threw.

"why is that" i ask as i pass her.

"if we did id have to talk to the alpha about letting you pass his border which im sure just cuz i asked hed say no"

"why do you guys not live on his territory?" i ask ginuenly currious.

"that is a very long story, but i shouldnt be the one to tell you that maybe after this weekend you will know our history" she says walking towards the kitchen where i heard Rens voice.

P.O.V Ren

i look over the laptop at my sister and see jack right behind her. i interally groan. i was hoping that he was going to be a no show today, i think to my self. 

"so as you were saying Ren about where we should have it?" beth says sitting down next to me at the table.

"i was saying until you rudely got up and walked away...that we should have it in the clearing in the woods by the water fall behind the house. the one we used to sneak out to when we lived on pack lands"

"oooo i love that spot i think its perfect. what do you think jack" beth asks looking over at him.

"thats where my pack has all our shifting parties when the moon reaches its apex the moon reflexs perfectly off the water. my pack calls it the moon pool because of this....i think its a great idea"

"what is a shifting party?" beth asks confused.

i look over my laptop at him curious my self but he kind of explained it earlier but im curious if he will go on more about it.

"well a shifting partty is where when the moon reaches its apex on a wolfs 16th birthday they shift and so to make them more relaxed we have either close family and friends or a huge group of people present during the shift what we do is when the new wolf starts to shift every wolf that is present starts to shift but slower so that the new wolf doesnt feel alone" jack explains

"Ren i think we should do this for you since its your first shift and we dont have mom and dad to help you threw this" beth says with a sad look in her eyes.

"what kind of stuff are you guys planing on having at this party?" jack asks obviously trying to change the subject. 

"were not sure yet, i know were gonna have food there but were not sure what" beth answers

"do you girls know how to grill?" jack asks leaning on the table.

"no we dont. dad never got the chance to teach us how before......" i say looking down and the keyboard on my laptop unable to finish my sentence.

"can i ask you a question Ren?" jack asks closing my laptop.

"ya " i say looking up at him noticing he has the most beautiful eyes.

"what happened to your parents?" jack asks genuinely concerned.

beth and i both sigh knowing that this question was going to come up sooner or later.

"when i was 8, we lived on pack lands we lived right next to the pack house and one night rogues crossed our borders. well they went right for our house our alpha did really do anything to stop what happened. they dragged us all out of our house and into the middle of the pack right infront of the pack house and told us that we would understand later when we got older that someone would come to find us one day and then they killed our parents, only then did our alpha come to help but the rogues didnt fight back they ran."

"that makes no since but i am soooo sorry Ren Beth....if there is anything that i can help you guys with my pack is always here to help." jack says 

"and i know how to grill if thats something you want to do, we have a bunch of meat stored for stuff like this and ill bring it over tomarrow and ill start grilling..." jack says just as his phone starts buzzing

"i have to take this....its my father" jack says standing up and walking to the living room.

i look over at beth confused on whats going on and why hes being so nice and offering to help someone he doesnt really know.

jack comes bak into the room putting his phone in his pocket.

"im sorry to cut this short but my dad needs my help...and i also need to ask him if its okay to help you guys but i know he wont have a problem with it."

"okay....about what we told you not many people know exactly what happened and what the rogues said to us please dont tell anyone what we told you. not even your family" i say concerned that something bad will happen if someone says something.

"Ren i promise on my life that i will not say anything to any one you have my word"

P.O.V. jack

i promise Ren that i wouldnt tell no one of what they told me about their parents and i was being serious....but my father knows who caused this...we heard about this when it happened and thats why my father made me go to Rens  school but now that i know that shes my mate that makes things very different. my father found out from thomas that shes my mate and demanded that i come home and talk to him. but he still doesnt know whats going to happen on saturday.

i pull into my drive way. my father steps onto the porch with his arms crossed over his chest. i sigh and climb out of my car and start to walk up to him.

"im not introuble am i dad?" i ask concerned that i wont be able to go to Rens party tomarrow.

"no son but with the fact that this girl is your mate it changes things and really concerns me"

"why?"

"because someone very close to them caused that attack to happen and we still dont known who or why" he states as we walk into the pack house and head to his office.

"i know dad but what does that have to do with her being my mate?" 'ya i agree i dont understand what that has to do with the attack" onyx says

"well with you being her mate it could maybe put our pack in danger....but our pack is one of the biggest in the country so im not concerned with us losing alot of pack members but it could make things very hard for us"

"we have to protect those two girls dad....beth her sister she had a mate, its the alpha of their pack but when he found out he rejected her and went with his chosen mate and he makes her do all of the work her work as beta and his work as well just so that he doesnt have to see her. those girls get miss treated there just because of them losing their parents after her birthday i want to invite them and her best friend katie to join our pack" i say looking at my dad as he sits down on at his desk and i take a seat on the couch against the wall.

"son is that really soming you would want to do, having Ren join our pack would be normal but having another alphas beta and having another one of his pack members join our pack that might cause some issues" my dad asks

"yes dad im sure. beth gets mistreated thats whyt i want to invite her and she can use the excuse that she cant handle being apart of the pack anymore because it kills her seeing her mate with another and katie shes just an omaga in his pack so she wouldnt matter and shes 18 so shes on her own and her and thomas are mates but they have said nothing to anyone"

"okay that makes since okay we will do that if Ren accepts you alright son now go get some sleep we have alot to do tomarrow"

"what do you mean father?"

" i am going with you tomarrow and so are some of my warriors i have to protect my future luna"

"ooooo okay dad" i say slowly backing out of his office and running to my room and flopping on my bed. tomarrow she will find out she my mate i hope she accepts me.
