searching and wondering

Recap:
“What do you mean being rude she looks very kind to me.” I defended my mate.
“She was just ignoring us.” Cass said with a shrug. “When she came out of the office she was like a totally different person.” Maybel answered.
Who are you crystal? I thought.
-----
Aroura’s pov
After comforting crystal we both went down stairs.
We saw all of them in the same room taking and laughing. Except Beta Leo.
As we entered the room, all eyes went straight to us. Hunter got up to hug Crystal and star hugged me. After hugging her back I asked her...
“Did you tell them?” I asked star, refering to how we know about werewolfs.
“Tell them what?” She asked dumbfolded. 
“How we came to know of werewolf, obviously” I asked face palming.
When she didn’t reply I said
“I’ll take that as a no, then.” I giggled, shaking my head.
Just then grey piped up “ oh yeah how did you find out about werewolfs it’s kinda illegal for humans to know unless you are a mate?”
“You see it all started a long long time ago.” Scarlet teased.
“Can we start not that long ago.” Grey teased back.
“Do you want to know or not.” Scarlet taunted.
“Fine, tell your story women but of it takes too long don’t be offended if I decide to go to sleep.” Grey said.
“Fine do you want to start or shall I?” Star asked me.
“I’ll start....”
“It all started 1 year ago when I was in England, which is where I used to live. After my parents death, I couldn’t stay there. My auntie and uncle wanted me to stay with them but I couldn’t, as I kept seeing their faces, and kept getting pity looks from everyone at school, from my cousins and my aunt and uncle. So I contacted Scarlet and asked to come here. She obviously being the best person/ sister ever said yes.”
Retelling the story, even if it is just briefly made me remember and the tears welled up in my eyes just like they always did when I remember my first family. I looked to scarlet and she gave me a hug before carrying on...
“After Aroura came here and told me the story of her parents death I got curious on how they died in the car crash apparently it was a faulty brake but we didn’t believe it, so we decided to look into it. Turns out her parents were murdered we are not sure who by yet. However, the car crashing was mainly to make it look like an accident. That’s when we started looking at all possibilities. My ex boyfriend was a werewolf so, I already knew about it. Asshole forgot to be careful and let it slip.

We started looking at rogue and assassin’s. That’s when we discovered Lupus atteritur. This was a wolf underground bar and casino for wolfs only and used by all wolfs especially high ranking wolfs like the alpha and beta. We sneaked in, using a spray we got from a friend. He is a warlock and helped us get in.  Which is where we found alpha Adrian. He, at first, almost killed us, as well as almost shouted the roof down. Damn that was a hell of a night. But Aroura and me told him the full story and he agreed to help us. After that we came part of the pack. He told us everything to do about werewolfs and let us join in with pack meetings. Even introduced us to the pack and even let us train with the pack. That’s how I became the best skilled fighter.  You could say we grew on him. And that my fellow children is how me and Aroura came to know about werewolfs. .

“Did you just call us children.”  Was the first thing Greyson said.

“Is that all you figured out from that story grey”. I said laughing as I went up to Star and said thanks for telling it when I couldn’t.
“I’m so sorry about your family Aroura.” Cass said giving me a hug, to which I accepted.
“Thanks Cass.” I said with a small voice.
“I’m so sorry for everything". Hunter apologied "Aroura I didn’t know. I’m sorry for your family. I hope you can forgive me with time, but I understand if you don’t.” Hunter suddenly says looking at me with sad eyes.

“Hunter its ok, you didn’t know, I forgive you.” I say with a small smile, to be honest I was a bit ok a lot suprised.
“Really you forgive me, just like that so quick. Why, I said some pretty mean things to you and Scarlet.”
“Because I’m a happy person that can’t hold a grudge to save my life. And I can tell by your eyes your truly sorry for what you said.” 
“Awwww hunter is  apologizing, I never thought I’d see the day. Crystal baby you must already be having a huge effect on him.” Greyson smirked.
To which Hunter growled at him “ I’ll beat your ass black and blue any day pup.”
“ Bring it on softie.” Greyson growled back still having a huge smirk on his face. I swear this boy is looking for a death wish.

“Wait 2 Minutes, don’t start fighting yet give me 2 mins.” crystal says smiling. 
Next thing you know she’s out of the room running, then comes back  lightning fast with three bowls of popcorn and a bar of chocolate. Handing the bar of chocolate to me,  the sweet popcorn to Cassidy, the caramel popcorn to Maybel and sitting down with her salted buttered popcorn she waved her hand like a flag yelling round 1 begin.

That’s how both boys or should I say children, ended up wrestling on the ground.
After 10 matches, it was a draw but they still couldn’t let it go. Only after crystal and Cassidy suggested a movie did they finally sit down and shut up.
Hunter had his arm around crystal on the love seat.
Cassidy was cuddled up to her brother, while he had a protective arm around her and and then that left me, star and Maybel sprawled out on the blankets enjoying the movie Beauty and the beast.
