Chapter 22

Dedicated to @LovelyOwls because she created a new book cover for me :) Posted it on the side in case if I get a new one later on... isn't it pretty? :D

Chapter 22

“Oh my god! Mrs. Meadows, can you please tell me why she keeps on doing that!?"

“It’s not my place to tell.” My mom answered.

My eyes shot open, and I realized I was on the floor. I shot up, picking myself up off the floor before facing Harmony and my mother quite awkwardly.

“Um…” I shifted from foot to foot.

My mother looked at me with a knowing expression. She asked me the basic question she always asked when she witnessed me having a vision. This time she used her eyes to ask me, and I shook my head to say that it wasn’t something bad.

“Harmony?” I looked over at her, “If you’re a werewolf, do you get a super power?”

She looked at me like I was growing a third eye, “WHAT!?”

Guess that’s a no… Hm… If I am half-werewolf… I couldn’t have earned my precognition from my mother’s side… But, if my father was human… then I wouldn’t have gotten my ability from him either… so that means...

“My dad wasn’t human either, was he?” I could tell from my mother’s eyes that it was true.

I gritted my teeth together in anger, “How could you keep all of this from me, mom?” I growled at her.

“I…” She looked at me with hurt.

“Why?”

“I… I was going to…” She trailed off, looking at me pleadingly.

“When?” I glared at her, “WHEN were you going to tell me the most important thing in my entire life?”

“I…” A tear fell down her cheek. “I was going to tell you when you turned thirteen!"

Understanding made my anger dissolve. My dad and sister left when I was twelve.

I shook my head, “Why thirteen mom?”

“It’s…” She bit her lip, her expression saying she was expecting the worst. “It’s when you are supposed to change for the first time!”

“Change?”

“Yeah!” Harmony butted in, oblivious. “It’s when a male werewolf turns for the first time!"

“But…” My face scrunched up with confusion, “I’m not a wolf…” or a guy...

“I know.” Mom looked at me sadly, “Your father had something to do with that."

“But…” I shook my head at her, “You said you turned into a werewolf when you got bitten at the age of six!”

“That only happens if you are human.” Harmony piped up, “If a human is bit by a werewolf, it doesn’t matter how old they are, they’ll change into one.”

“But…” I trailed off when I couldn’t think of what to say.

“I’ve made a connection though.” My mother said softly, “At the age of six, I was bitten. When you and Tara turned six…” She trailed off, and I immediately realized that my mother did have something to do with my ability to see the future. I developed my precognition when I was six… Tara developed her healing ability when she was six… Jason was five…

My eyes widened. “Does that mean that, since you were forcefully changed into a werewolf, that my siblings and I aren’t how we are supposed to be?”
