I stared at her waiting...just waiting....waiting for her to burst out laughing....waiting for her to tell me that she was joking. But no words left her mouth...not even a single giggle left her mouth. She stared back at me, tears cascading down her cheeks. I didn't understand. My father was a werewolf? My father? Was she also a werewolf?

'I don't understand...what do u mean a werewolf?' i asked, shifting away from her to see her better. She sniffed, i took a tissue off the table and gave it to her.

'I met your father in high school, we quickly became best friends, and later on we started dating,we were so in love, everyone could see it' she paused, smiling, seeming to be recalling a distant, pleasent memory.

'After high school, we got married, everything was perfect, we were so happy and a year later we had you. That made us even happier. Your father refused to leave you alone for too long, he loved you so much,' she said smiling. Then she started sobbing, i moved closer to her and put my hand over her shoulder, that seemed to give her the strength to carry on.

'One night, i woke up to find John gone, he wasn't downstairs so i went to check outside. I was greeted by a huge dog, which i found out was your father when he turned back before i could run back into the house. He explained how he couldn't control his shifts anymore because he had been away from the pack too long. He told me how he was the Alpha of a pack called, Redwood. He wanted us to go live with his pack because he was scared that he would shift suddenly and hurt us. When we got there he....he...met his...mate' she said, her voice raspy.

She looked me in the eye, her eyes filled with unshed tears, then she suddenly broke down crying, i hugged her to me, until her sobs were just tearless, heart wrenching hiccups. She pulled away, her eyes red and puffy and tried to flash me a smile but all that broke through was a grimace. This woman had been through so much, she believed that she had lost the love of her life. The woman in front of me was not my strong mother but a broken woman with so many scars that she tried to hide.

I fought back tears, and hugged her again. I understood what she meant, i mean Ian was my mate, i knew the feelings that came with it.

As i looked at my mother, i couldn't help but feel a sort of resentment towards werewolves and what they had put my mother through. I couldn't help but taste a bit of anger towards my dad for staying with my mom and having a kid with her knowing very well he had a mate somewhere out there.

As i was about to ask her what happened after he found his mate. A loud knock interrupted me. She quickly ran to the door before they could wake Leila up but the insistant knocking woke her up. I picked her up, consoling her as i walked to the door to see what was so urgent.

As i turned the corner into the hallway, i saw my mother standing, frozen, at the open door with her hand still on the door knob. There on the other side of the door was a very furious looking Ian. His eyes left my mothers and he looked at me, then at Leila then back at me. The anger left his eyes and all that was left was sadness.

My mother murmured something about making more tea before she scurried off. I turned around still consoling her, and walked back to the living room. She quieted down, as i sat down on the love seat with Ian joining me a moment later.

He had gotten much bigger than i remembered. I could feel heat radiating off him, and that got me remembering the few moments we spent in the diner.

We spent a few minutes in silence, i sat playing with Leilas hair and playing with her fingers. My mother must have been planting the tea leaves first because tea didn't take so long to make.

He suddenly turned towards me and stared at Leila fr a few seconds before uttering words i never thought he would....'may i?' he asked looking at me nervously. I stared at him in shock contemplating if i should or not.

My decision was made by Leila, who started squirming in my arms, extending her arms towards Ian. I passed her to him. He held her awkwardly in his arms for a moment, but got a hand of it a minute later. She grabbed his thumb and that seemed to thaw his heart because a smile that i hadn't seen in quite a while broke through his face.

As i watched Ian coo at Leila and Leila smile toothlessly back, i knew that i owed him an explanation of some sort,

'Ian....i.....i was raped.'
