Scott holds the door to Cody's office open as I walk up, I'm gonna level with you when I say I was so nervous. I know Cody trusts Scott obviously, as he's his Beta and he wouldn't let me walk in a room alone with him if he didn't, but I don't have many good things to say about him. Yes I know I said at the dinner he was a nice guy, but I also said how I didn't know if he was playing some kind of act.
Once I'm in he closes the door behind me, that didn't add to me being terrified at all! I smile as he walks around to Cody's desk opening the file, I didn't know people actually carry around those file folder things, I just thought it was in movies and tv shows.
"Okay, I have loads of information on your mum, sorry it's taken me this long" he says pulling the different documents out, I totally forgot I asked him to help look for my mum.
I stand in the corridor for a few minutes, many questions just kept swirling through my head. Does my mum regret leaving us? Does she ever think of us? Was she just going to allow us to believe she was dead forever? Did she know about her mate before but waited until she had no choice but leave? There are so many questions that I want to be answered, but I don't know if I'm ready to hear the answers yet.I knew I had to somehow break the news to my family, but it's something I wouldn't want to over the phone. I have to figure out a way to talk to them face to face, without crossing any borders. I decide to text them we needed to talk as Cody walks down the hall, I send him a little smile while finishing sending the text."What did Scott want to talk to you about?" He asks looking rather tense, I wanted to tell him but I didn't know if I'd fully
A few hectic hours had passed since I first proposed my crazy idea, the rest of the pack soon got word about the changes and were also happy. It's great to see everyone working together to make this work, the humans and the wolves were helping each other so it could get done in time.I was helping Cody and Scott set up the place for the wolves, the only thing I wasn't going to help with was the poor animals, knowing me I'll feel bad and release them all. I was just finishing setting up the barrier separating the wolves and the human section, we didn't want anyone getting hurt if something ran to our bit.I stand up straight looking around at what we've done, you had the wolf's part which was just an open wood with the barriers. Across from that was where I know I'll be spending most of my time, the children's part, I just love being around
This was bad, my dad wasn't kidding when he said if any of the girls go back he'll kill them. It's not like the police guarding the place won't know who Martha is, that's all they were thinking about for weeks after the raid. Why would she even wanna go back? Last time I was at town even her family didn't want anything to do with her, is she doing this on purpose?A part of me was hoping if my dad did see her, he'd be a bit more lenient as it's Martha and I've known her since we were little. But than again my dads been after blood since the raid, to top it all off with what we've learnt about mum, it's not looking good."I think it's best if I go to town to see if she's there" I say as I knew Scott was about to sprint to town, which was extremely fast might I add."She's my ma
The people get closer where I could now see who they were, my dad was leading the group while Justin was close behind him. Reece emerges from the trees somewhere just ahead, he looked like a ninja! I know this wasn't really the time but it was nice to see them, I also know it's not even been a week since I left. But I used to see all of them every single day no matter what, now it's changed to me not seeing them for days, it's a huge swift!I feel a hand take my arm and pull me back slightly, I knew from which arm was grabbed that it was Cody who did it. His hand remained on my arm holding me, but not in a rough way just in a way to keep me there."Erika" is all my dad says as they stop abruptly, they very nearly went over the border line, that wouldn't have been good."I'm okay no need to panic, the reason we're here is due
It doesn't take us long to leave the wood part of town and make it to main part, walking through the woods none of us spoke. I had so much to tell Reece that I know for sure he wouldn't tell my dad especially, but I didn't know if there were others around to hear what I was saying, who definitely would tell my dad."Is it bad to say that I'm kind of happy Martha's gone on one of her hide and seek journeys?" Reece asks breaking the silence as all the houses come into view, I always thought this place was massive but it doesn't even compare to the town at home "it's sucked without you here, I've had to manage with Justin turning all sophisticated on me, you won't believe the laugh I had to hold in when he entered the room dressed like that" Reece chuckles as we begin to walk in the direction of Martha's parents house, in my mind that would be the only place she would really wanna go.
I stare at the thing frozen in place for a few seconds, my body couldn't move or allow me to form a sentence. Reece continues to list all the different rules the town has changed, I knew this meant he hadn't saw what I'm seeing right now because he definitely wouldn't be straight up ignoring it."R-Reece" I stutter out my eyes still not leaving the floating thing in front of me, the sentence left my lips so quietly that I worried he didn't hear it, but he looks up thankfully hearing what I said, I didn't know if I'd be able to form another."Are you okay?" He asks raising to his feet and rushing over to me, I still couldn't form a sentence so I lift my arm up and point to what I was seeing.He follows my hand and also clocks what I was seeing, he whips his head around to look
The walk back over to the border was silent, I think both of us are trying to come to terms with what we just saw. I'm also trying to get my head around all the new information Reece just told me about my dad and Justin, I had no idea they were that out of control. I mean when I was there a few times my dad would take it too far, I would always pull my dad up about it and he'd stop immediately. Is that what Reece meant when he said I'd be the first to get punished? If I saw something I didn't like I wouldn't hesitate pulling my dad up about it, thankfully I wasn't there.I take a look over to Reece who's face was blank, I send him a confused look for a second. That's the same face Cody and Scott pull when they're mind-linking people, wait could Reece be? No Erika that's stupid, you've known Reece your entire life so you'd know if he was a werewolf or not. Another strong gust takes me by surprise, I wasn't gonna li
My jaw could have hit the floor when those words came out of his mouth, yes I was thinking it but it's a different thing to hear him actually confirm it. I wasn't the only person that looked gobsmacked, everyone on that side of the border had the exact expression on their faces. I now look at Cody who was just staring at me, this obviously wasn't new information for him."I wanted to tell you but we couldn't risk Reece's safely" he whispers leaning down by my ear, I just send him a little smiling telling him it was okay, it wasn't really for him to tell me but Reece and if he was okay with me knowing.I turn to Justin who slowly took something from his pocket, without warning he pulls a gun out but within a second, Reece was already over the border."You dare fire that gun at
