The door clicked. I didn't lift my head, "I know you don't wanna talk. But we need to find our brother." I heard Ava.      I swept a shocked look at her, " Didn't mom..."     'She always talked about him. But we never could ask her, try to know anything about him.'     "She wouldn't tell you. She wouldn't bring the topic. So..." She trailed, shifting on her feet. I saw her a few minutes ago in a werewolf form.       "What do you mean find him?" My voice was hoarse with emotions and anger.       "Our father took him with him." She pressed her lips in a thin line.       "He's not our father," I yelled in anger, " Please, leave me alone." My breathing turned shallow as I grappled the truth.       "We can talk later, " She offered. &nbs

'Over time you'll come to know everything.'                             I closed the book reading the last line of the chapter. I couldn't wait. I would meet my inner wolf. It seemed impossible but I felt excited at the same time.      I slipped my feet in the slippers, I slowly paced out of the room, it was warm inside, they must be feeling uncomfortable because of me. I felt cold. So I recommended they turn off the heat of the house except for my room. I curled my arms tightly around my chest.      Sometimes, I thought about the man my mother met years ago and he left her to suffer. It infuriated me, only added more hate to him. I shook my head. There were more important things than him.      I walked down the stairs. My eyes widened when I saw Jasper in the living room sitting with Charles and one teena

My feet carried me to her and I opened my arms, hugging her, "Mom, stop thinking too much. I am happy for you. What's making you think this?" I pulled back. Tears were rolling down her eyes. I lifted my hand to wipe her cheeks. Charles advanced and swiped his hand on her second cheek, "Mom," I grabbed her hand in mine, "I won't lie to you. You can detect it." She chuckled and nodded, "I hate that man who caused you so much pain." She opened her mouth but I cut her off, "I know Charles won't hurt you. No doubt." She nodded, eyes pooled with tears, "I need some time to accept him as part of my life. I have already accepted him as your husband. But..." I sighed, "He has to earn. The father's place in my life. I don't know how to explain."       Her hand rested against my cheek, "I can scent your confusion." A small smile crawled over her cheek.       "I really don't know how to accept him as my father figure in my life. I have no

When I opened my eyes, tears rolled down my skin reaching the shell of my ears. Two soft hands wiped them.       "He's alive, just not present at the moment," My head turned, hearing his deep voice. His icy cold eyes met mine. They wouldn't lie to me. I hadn't felt him fully disappear.        I pushed myself up in a sitting position. I didn't notice Elizabeth was holding my hand. I tried to tug my hand but she tightened her grip.       "It's not good." I pulled my hand again.       "You need to calm down." Silver said, sitting on the edge of the mattress.       "I'm okay," I pulled my hand and felt myself drained, dizzy, angry, and mad. Her head shook in disapproval, she grasped my hand more tightly. Tears welled in my eyes, "I have a feeling, I'm turning into a mad person. " I said, looking into my mother's eyes.    

          The day started cool and dewy. I pulled the blanket closer to my body. The sun rays made the birds boisterous. It broke my sleep.      I walked over to the window. A smile appeared on my face. Silver and Elizabeth were running with Jasper, Carlos, and Daniel. The portals had really helped them to end the distance.       Another voice reached my ears, "My mother is shouting at someone." I didn't give it a second thought and turned to the door. I hurried down the stairs.       My feet flattered and I clasped the railing. His grey eyes turned to me. He smiled, "Good morning, pumpkin." He said, his eyes glinting with happiness.      "Emma, breakfast will be ready soon. Go, get a shower." My mom said. It was just an excuse to send me away.      I didn't move, just stared at
