I wasn't the type to fall at the feet of a guy, especially not for his looks. I didn't waste my time with crushes and boyfriends and all the dating apps people my age use these days. I didn't really see a point in spending my life looking so hard fo...
I was looking at him with wide eyes, he's not only telling me I'm a wolf, but he's explaining the scariest moment of my life that I couldn't remember.
"You turned and your wolf was afraid but when I found you it knew we were mates. I took you to the closest wooded area I could find so your wolf could run it out till the moon started to go down. I took you back to the hotel I was staying at and I gave you my clothes because you had ripped up your work clothes in transition."
My eyes were filled with tears and I didn't even know why. He just gave me a play by play of the night that I was totally blacked out.
"And you took me home that morning" I say remembering what Jess had told me.
"I saw your student ID in your bag and I took you back to the dorms. Your wolf was still in control so you probably don't remember the ride back or me walking you inside your dorm." He finishes.
"Jess saw you" I state wiping my eyes. "She heard you say you'd see me soon" I add.
"I'm sorry Lilith" Is all he says while rubbing my back.
"No it's okay..." I trail off "when I got up that morning I thought something bad had happened to me" I say looking him in the eye. When he realized what I meant he looked hurt.
"You know I'd never do anything like that to you, I'd never hurt you that way Lilith" he says quickly.
"I know I know, it's just good to know that nothing like that happened. I had a test done though because I didn't know what happened."
"I should've just stayed with you and explained it all then" he says.
"I wouldn't have believed you" I say leaning into his embrace.
"You said you could tell someone is a half breed if they're marked and mated right?" I ask and he nods.
"So if I'm a half breed wouldn't that mean one of my parents were too? Or one of them was a full breed?"
"That's what confused me when I met your family, I didn't sense anything with either of your parents or your grandmother." He stated "I asked my mom about it and she said the gene can skip but usually not anymore than one generation, your mother, father or your grandparents had to have been a half breed or a full wolf" he states.
The only thing I could think was if I was adopted, but that had to be impossible because I was a spitting image of my mother. I don't know if my other grandparents were wolves because I had never met them. They had passed away before I was even born.
"The only way to know is to ask them" he says sadly.
I knew he was right, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to know anymore. Based off of everything I heard my mom say I knew she'd be a tough nut to crack, and I didn't want to go behind her back and ask my grandma.
"But the good news is" he begins, then using the tips of his fingers to turn my head to meet his eyes. "You have me and I'm not going anywhere" he says with a small smile and places his lips on mine.
"If you knew about mates why did you date that girl?" I ask suddenly feeling insecure.
"Well she was a full breed wolf too" he said. "We thought we were mates because our families were from the same pack and how close we were..." he says uncomfortably. "But full breeds can't find their mate till they're 18, and when we turned 18 there was nothing" he said. I could tell he was uncomfortable talking about his ex so I changed the subject.
"Tell me more about the packs?" I ask pushing away from the subject. I'd question more about it later.
"Well they're a lot like gangs" he said with a chuckle.
"Y'all don't live in pack houses and shit?" I ask making a joke about all the online stories I had found while searching mates. I may or may not have read a few.
He side glances at me and I could tell he knew what I was referring to by the small smile at the corner of his mouth.
"No we don't" he says with the small smile still at his lips.
"We all live a modern life close by, there's a lot of packs in Texas but they're not very big. Ours is mostly in Houston but a few of us live in neighboring cities like between here and Galveston."
"Are there larger packs?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, larger and stronger all across the world. The biggest pack in the US is from Colorado and they take up most of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma and Arizona."
"So there's packs all across the states?"
"Tons" he says.
"The Colorado based pack sort of runs the smaller packs like the one my family is in, we host a lot of the meeting events like the one you're invited to."
"That's a pack meeting?" I ask surprised he was going to take me there not knowing about werewolves.
"Yes, I planned on telling you all of this that night..." he trails off. "But your Bella Swan ass had to ask questions and investigate" he jokes.
I scoff and punch him in the shoulder. "Shut up" I say as he pretends to be hurt by my punch.
"The fact that you even watched the twilight movies" I say teasing him a little.
"Oh dude I watch and read anything involving wolves, I just have to see how close they are to the actual truth" he says with a triumphant smile.
"Are you telling me vampires exist?" I ask.
"Not that I know of." He shrugs.
"What about witches?" I ask thinking about the vampire diary books.
"There's rumors" he says.
"What kind of rumors?" I press.
"None that matter, I think you've had enough mystical creature information thrown at you today don't you think?" He asks.
I nod, taking notice of the sunset. It really was beautiful out here.
"What would you have done if I wasn't okay with this?" I ask turning back to him.
"So you're okay with this?" He asks.
"For now" I joke and poke at his dimples.
"We should get you home" he says standing to his feet and offering me his hand.
"Yeah I have a lot of family members to harass" I joke, but half meaning it. I needed to know who was lying, and I was going to start with my mother.
