Chapter 006

MIA'S POV:

"Why am I not happy that Leon said he will only treat me as his stepsister? Why do I feel sad?" I asked myself sadly, as I sat on the black couch in the living room, waiting for my mother to return.

The living room was painted white and featured a flat-screen television, an inbuilt aquarium, a beautiful home theater, flower vases, and lights to beautify the space.

"It's because they are your mate. You need to calm down, Mia, and follow your heart. You cannot reject them, or you will be unhappy," the soft voice whispered back, scared that I would reject her too.

"Who are you?" I asked, trying to find the voice that had spoken to me, as I didn't know if the voice was human or spirit.

"I am Molly. Your wolf."

"My wolf?" I asked with doubt. My body trembled at the realization that I'm truly a werewolf, and my mother was right about me having the ability to shift into a werewolf and a human.

"Yes," Molly replied, her voice soft as she purred in my head.

"Do you want to shift with me? We can run around the woods and run along with the others. Those triplets are ours and will be your mate once you turn eighteen," Molly said, her voice soft and making me speechless.

"Mia." Mom returned with the photo album, gently descending the stairs as she held the album in her hand.

Mom still wore her white night dress that had her thighs exposed, but she had put on her long flowing white long-sleeve jacket and tied it at the front.

As she approached me on the black couch, Mom said, "Here's the album that I want to show you. This was me when I turned sixteen and met my wolf, Kalani. I was so excited that I could shift like the rest of our pack members. And this is your father when I turned eighteen and met him. We were studying at the White Hills Academy then. Your father was very busy with his research even as a young man, but I loved him and thought he would stay. I am a white wolf, but he's brown. So I'm thinking that you will have a white one, given that you resemble me. Here, have a look."

Mom handed over the photo album as she showed me herself, her older brother, Blake, his wife, Lana, and their two pups, Veronica and Godwin Jackson.

"So, Mom, Veronica is my cousin and a werewolf too?" I asked her, my eyes widening in shock when she showed me a picture of my cousin sister.

"Yes. Veronica is a werewolf. She's seventeen years old like you. Hopefully, she will turn eighteen this year and find her mate."

"Mmm," I frowned, knowing that Veronica was one of the slaves at the White Hills Academy who wanted the Triple L attention.

"Mom, Veronica and I aren't close. She doesn't treat me like I'm her cousin. She always acts superior and like she's better than me," I stated, after closing the album.

Mom frowned and asked me, "Do you want me to call Veronica tomorrow and speak with her to get along with you?"

"No need, Mom. I have a good friend, Vivian Adams. But I'm afraid she's a werewolf too. She never told me anything about werewolves."

"I assume she didn't want to scare you," Mom replied, her voice soft, and I nodded and replied calmly, "Maybe."

"Thank you, Mom, for telling me about myself. But I still have a hard time believing that I'm truly a werewolf," I said, just as my mother rose from the couch beside me and held the photo album in her hand.

"It's fine. Once my parents return, we can have a family gathering. They traveled to China for their anniversary vacation, and I don't know when they'll be back. We'll have a big family reunion, and maybe I will introduce you to all of them. I'll call my mother and tell her about the wedding with Alpha David. I'm sure they wouldn't miss it," Mom spoke about her parents, and I smiled.

"Alright, Mom. It's late. Let me go to my room and sleep. Goodnight," I replied and followed my mother to the top floor. She went into her room to join Alpha David, as I heard his deep voice speaking to someone on the phone in her room.

Sighing, I walked into my room, which was adjacent to my mother's room. I shut the door and went to look at my reflection in the mirror.

"Molly," I called my wolf's name, as I gazed at myself in the wide mirror.

"Yeah. I'm here. Do you want to shift to me?" Molly asked calmly.

"No," I replied softly, seeing my eyes glow in the mirror.

"Did I just do that?" I gasped, and Molly replied, "Yeah."

"What else can I do? Like magic?" I asked Molly, my voice curious.

"You can shift, talk to someone through mindlink, and also heal faster," Molly replied, and I found that fascinating.

"Alright. Later, you give me an update about myself. Now, I need to sleep and hope that I'm not dreaming. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I won't be going to academy," I muttered, relieved as I went to my bathroom to relieve myself. Since I got back from school, I hadn't even had my evening bath.

"How about Triple L? Are you going to reject them?" Molly asked me fearfully.

"I don't know how to deal with them. How can I have three boyfriends, and also, my mother is going to marry their father? I'm sure Mom won't approve of them," I replied, and Molly groaned.

"Then don't support your mother's wedding," she said.

"Well, I want my mother to be happy, and the only thing that can stop her wedding is if my father returns. If my father doesn't return, then there's no way for me to stop the wedding or get along with the triplets. They're bullies too," I said, and Molly groaned again.

"Can't you call your Dad to return? Tell him that your mother is going to marry Alpha David. You'll see your Dad return immediately," Molly said, but I knew that was impossible.
