Breaking the silence

    Today at school feels like any other day but it's not. It's heart wrenching because when I get home, I'm demanding to find out everything. I can't live like this anymore. I told Jade to meet me outside for lunch.

        Jades P.o.v.

     What could Remi be wanting to talk to me about? Could she know? She can't know. Only her grandma and I know, and her grandma made me promise to never break a word of the truth; not until Remi is ready. I mean Remi is going to find out sooner or later, her wolf is already in her head pushing her for answers. Remi just doesn't know that it’s her wolf trying to speak with her; or the fact that she's a werewolf in general. Another wonderful secret being held from Remi. I just hope when she does find out, that she understands it was for her safety and that I didn't betray her. At least I didn't in my eyes-- only because I'm aware of the danger...

     I finally seen Jade coming outside with her lunch. She looked nervous like I'm mad at her or something. She's probably tired of me bickering about my grandma but only if she knew the frustration. I told Jade today I'm finding out everything. She told me to not push the matter but she's not in my position. She has her parents and family.

      After school I rushed home. Anxious to get answers, I busted through the front door. To my surprise there was a rather large man sitting at the dining room table with my grandma. She looked upset but like she knew this man that I've never seen in my life. He suddenly got up and told grandma, “Soon." He says goodbye to her, and he told me one day we'll meet again. Grandma asked me to sit that we need to speak. I'm guessing it's now or never.

     I took a deep breath and as I opened my mouth to talk, my grandma told me she's been lying. So many things to ask, but I want to hear her, so I wait. She starts crying saying everything she's done was for my parents by their request. She began telling me that it was for my safety; that it's time to readjust back into the pack and what a pack means it's like a family. That my parents are alive?! "WHAT?!" I screamed in disbelief. That’s not the only crazy thing she stated that I'm a werewolf too! She's going insane, I've pushed her too hard, I think. Grandma is saying Jade is one too and that she knows everything also. My head is spinning, and I start hearing the voice in my head but not like before, it's much clearer now. The feminine voice has a name, Mia.

     Grandma says it's my wolf talking to me. This is too much. I know grandma doesn't drink but I'm not denying smelling her breath for alcohol. I just can’t believe her bringing Jade into this. Soon after that thought a knock was heard, the front door opened. It was Jade. Grandma had called her. "Remi sit down and listen. Don't be angry with me" Jade said. This can't be real, was grandma serious about Jade knowing the truth this whole time?

     During the conversation, I learned Jade was from the pack. The pack me and my grandma had left after my parents faked their deaths to protect me. Except Jade has never shifted like me. I guess you don't shift until the age of 18 and then you find your mate. Jade and grandma were trying to tell me something about the smell of your mate will help you find them. Before that, you might have some hints of your mate... Something about sparks, but that's all I heard. This is all outrageous sounding to me but at this point I'm happy to finally know anything about the past, about my life.

    My parents are alive, that much I do know for sure. Someone, a vampire was after me grandma said. She didn't go into details she said my parents will explain. I don't know what has me in shock... The fact vampires are real too or that my parents are going to be having a conversation with me. The parents I had believed to be dead for years. "Remi! Snap out of it!" Jade yelled. "I'm sorry, I want you to know our friendship has been real, your parents are friends with mine. They just wanted to keep access in your life. They love you so much and only did this out of love" she said softly.

      How can I be mad at my only best friend? I thought to myself. Yeah, I can be mad at her but in time I'm going to have to get over it. Jade's the only person besides grandma that I've had to talk to, that I grew up with and trust. "I HAVE TO THINK!" I yelled at both, as I run out the back door into the woods.
