4.RUBEN

"Ruben" my mother called in shock.

"Father" Dalton said standing behind mother. Mother look into the eye of this Ruben that Dalton just call father, she look it his eyes on the verge of tears, as she tread slowly towards the man before breaking into a run towards the man before jumping into his arm, with her arm around his neck and her leg clinging to his body, like a koala bear clinging to a tree has she buries her face in took the man's neck and sob.

I stood behind looking at the two adult in front of me, my mother still clung to this Ruben man. I know he his my father, but I can't see his face, what I can only see is his green eyes just like my, his pointed nose with a mustache, a well shaped jaw that held a beard. Looking in to his eyes you will know he is a warrior.

I wish I can see his full face I thought still looking at the man, I think he noticed me staring because he turned in my direction and our eyes met, I find it so hard to turn my face, it fascinating look at someone with the same eyes as I.

I turned my face looking at anything but the man in our house. I refuse to go easy on this man, even if he saved my little ass when I was a baby, he could have been present in my life but he wasn't and I don't plan on forgiving him anytime soon.

I turned to go back to my room, I'm not ready for any reunion with a person that wasn't present in my life.

"Aubree". The voice I dirged talking to called me I stop in my track, deliberating if I should turn back or continue moving.

"Bree" I heard my mother's voice. I decided to turn back. I turned to face them putting on my best smiling face. I can see my mother as gotten down from clinging to Ruben and is standing beside him with her arm around his waist and resting her head on his chest.

"Aubree" Ruben called looking at me in wonder, he unclug himself from my mother, he move forward to with his arm out stretch inviting me for a hug.

I remain where I am looking at him, if he thinks I'm going to hug him, he is wrong because I'm not moving from this spot to hug a father that wasn't in my life until now.

He noticed that I wasn't making any effort to accept his embrace, he drop his arms in disappointment.

"Bree" my mother tried talking me into accepting my father.

"No Anna, let her be I understand" he said smiling at my mother. Thank goodness he know I'm not ready for any father and daughter reunion.

He can't just come back into my life after 18 year and expect me to run into his arm like daddy girl, I'm glad he understand.

"It getting late mum, I'm going to my room". I said as I turned to eixt but I turned to ask a question,

"if Dalton is married to Helen, doesn't that means Helen is a werewolf "? They all nodded their head slowly. Oh I thought to myself. Receiving my answer I turn to the stairs.

I open the door to Paulina room, as I step in to the room, my eyes zeros on the stuff wolf that belongs to lina. Looking at the toy I envied her, she gets to know who she truly is at this early stage, unlike me who just got to know her true self four month to her 18th birthday.

"Bree" I snap out of my thought to the direction of the voice that called me.

"Oh Helen" I said walking towards her, she was just tucking in lina. I moved towards the bed and place a peck on her forehead.

"Bree I'm sorry for how you have to find out about everything" I look at Helen like she had grown two head. Sorry I thought to my self, how else was she suppose to find out.

"I think telling me now is better, atleast, I haven't started hearing voice in my head before I was told". I said to her forcing out a smile.

"I will be heading to my room now, good night " I turned to leave for my room.

Lying on my bed I thought about, how my life has changed in a matter of one night, so I wasn't a human, I was an animal, a wolf for that matter. I always fancy having extraordinary power, I guess my wish has come into fulfilment.

I toss from one end of the matrass to the other end trying to get some sleep, but it seem it doesn't want to visits me this night. Since this is going to be my home now, I picked up my phone to call Dorothy, the girl I met at the store.

"Hey girl it Bree' I said into to phone as she answered her call.

'Yh I know, remember I saved your number' she replied

'Yh I know, uh so I think I would need that tour you suggested' I said

'No big deal I'm ready when you are' oh I thought to myself

'Can we have that tour tomorrow'? I asked antipating her response.

'Ok that fine, I will drop by at ten to pick you up' she said, but wait did I just hear she will pick me up.

'Wait, how do you know my

apartment' I asked her, I don't think I told her where I stay.

'News travel dear' ohh

'Ok see you tomorrow' I said before we both hang up.

Atleast I have plans for tomorrow, then I would be able to clear my mind and learn more about this wolf town.

Sleep decide then to bring it dark head to lure me into dreamland. As I begin to draft into sleep, I can't help but think I forgot something.

Sunlight pierced into my eyes, I lifted the back of my hand to shield the rays of light, where am I, I thought to myself, I sat upright taking in the room that surrounds me.

Relocating, my brother's arrival, my father's appearance and my true self, a wolf. Everything came flooding back.

I let out a grunt sound as I threw my head back to the bed screaming my lungs out as I thrust about the bed.

"Bree, are you okay"? My mum shouted from somewhere in the house.

"I'm fine" I replied. I Picked my phone to check the time, 9:02am. I have less than an hour to get prepare.

Moving to my closet to pick out the clothes to wear. I picked a short blue knicker with a white tan top and a denim jacket. I placed it on my bed before heading to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth, add my facial care waitted for five minutes before rinsing it off. I hanged my towel before stepping into the shower.

Stepping out of the bathroom, I moved to my dressing table. I picked up the cream mummy made for me. A thought came to my mind. What if I stop using this cream will the monster find me. I pushed the thought aside as I applied the cream on my body.

After my skin routine and blow drying my hair, I put on my clothes, picking a black purse with beaded handle from purse collection.

I placed my phone in to the purse. I put on a white snickers to match my tan top.

I tied hair into a ponytail before putting on a white Alice band.

Moving down the stairs, I came to a pause when a saw my father standing at the foot of the stair. I continue down the stairs as I try to hid my shocked face.

"Aubree, how was your night, I prepared a the family favorite dish, steak" he said look at me with hope in his eyes. Family favorite dish, I scoffed internally at his word. I wonder why he his still wearing that mask.

"Bree don't be too hard on your father" my mother said coming out of the sitting room.

"Mum I met a new friend and she offered to take me out on a tour round the town" I said ignoring her last word. My father turned and leave for the kitchen. My mother watch as my father leaves for the kitchen she turned to look at me in disapproval.

"A new friend"? She asked

"Yes, I met her at the store, her name is Dorothy" I said to her, as we both turned to the living room.

"I see, you have met Dorothy" she said, I looked at her skeptical.

"Yes I met her, and will be here anytime from now" I said looking at the wall clock in the room.

The door bell rang, my brother moved to check who is at the door.

"That must be her" I said turning to tell my mother.

"Bree you have a visitor" my brother said inviting Dorothy. Upon seeing my mother the smile on Dorothy's face broadens.

"It good to see you aunty Anna" Dorothy said as she gave my mum a hug. What just happen, oh I keep forgetting my mother used to live her that make Dorothy a wolf also but I don't want to jump into conclusion.

I turned to my mum placing a kiss on her cheeks. I turned to Dorothy so we could get going but she had other plans has she bypassed me and head to the kitchen.

"Uncle Ruben how are you, I hope the scar is not giving you too much pain, once the pain become intense don't forget to come to me" I heard Dorothy say to my father.

It like I'm the only person that's meeting Dorothy for the first time, and what scar is she saying my dad has, I blew out a puff it not as if I care.

" Dorothy do you still want to go or not" I said calling out for her. If she want to do a greeting parade in my house, I could just go back to my room and novel through out the day.

"Bye" she said had she bid everyone. I didn't even have time to greet my little nicece.

"So where are we heading to" I asked Dorothy, as I tighten my seat beat.

"You just wait and see" she said, as we zoomed the paved road.
