We were still walking to Noel’s house. It was pretty far, but he warned me. We were playing twenty questions.

“How many siblings do you have?” I asked.

He glances away embarrassed, “Sixteen” he covered his answer with a cough, but I heard it and stopped walking, “What?” I asked shocked.

“I have sixteen siblings?” he said, but spoke in a questioning tone.

“Sixteen! What? Did your mom like getting knocked up that she had to do it sixteen times!” I exclaimed. He stared at me for a couple of seconds and then starts laughing like a hyena. I waited for him too stop laughing.

“For Werewolves, sixteen is small” he said.

“How is that small!” I exclaimed.

“Well we are in packs and so more people the more stronger. But don’t worry, only ten lives in the house. The other six live in neighbouring houses,”

My mouth dropped, “please tell me their not all boys”

“Nope only 8 of them are…in the house. Twelve of them are boys in the family”

“Please tell me your kidding,” I begged.

He chuckled, “nope” I groaned and kept marching forwards.

“How many siblings do you have?” he asked.

“One, he was my twin” I mumbled.

“Sorry” he mumbled.

“It’s fine, it wasn’t your fault,” I replied.

“Favorite colour?” he asked, changing the subject.

“Forest Green. Yours?”

“Same” I nodded my head.

“Favorite Sibling?” I smirked.

He groaned, “You can’t ask me that. All of them for all different reasons” he said. I laughed.

“Favorite past time?” he asked.

“Spacing out. I like to let my mind wander,”

“It’s your payment isn’t?” he asked.

“Well yea, but it’s still quite enjoyable because it lets you escape really annoying people” I glanced at him.

“I’m not annoying!” he shouted in defense.

“I didn’t say you were”

“But you implied it” he criticized. I laughed. He got me there.

“Any boyfriends? If yes who was your favorite in bed?” he perved.

I scrunched up my face, “gross, pass” he laughed.

“Okay, okay, whose you soulmate?” his question caught me off guard,

“How did―”

“Scents tell us many things” he answers me

“His name is Austin. He thinks I’m dead” I looked away from him.

“That’s must be really hard on you”

“It is actually” he grabbed my shoulder and turns me to face him. He pulled me into a hug. I was shocked and didn’t respond. He dragged his hands up and down my back and shockingly it felt comforting. I raised my arms and wrapped them around his waist. I cuddled my face into his neck. I hadn’t been hugged in so long and this felt comforting. We hugged each other for a while and we pulled apart.
