“What the hell happened to her?”My mother’s panic-stricken voice came from the doorway.
I spun around with Lucy in my arms , my entire family stood at the doorway with worried looks on each of their faces.
“Who the f**k did this to her?”Lucas demanded , taking a step closer, I growled possessively when he reached over to touch the bruise on her forehead , he immediately pulled back his hand and shook his head at me.”I’m just worried about her.”
“You could worry without f*****g touching her.”I snapped.
My b***d was boiling and everyone was testing my patience.
“Boys.”My father cut in sternly.
“How did this happen on your watch?”James asked curiously , my brother knew fully well how strong my wolf was so I completely understood why he asked such a question , I just wished he didn’t choose now to ask it.
I swallowed the guilt .”I ordered Adam to take her to the village and on their way they were ambushed by three wolves .”
“YOU WHAT?”My mother shouted glaring at me.”Your father and I specifically asked you to do it Austin , none of this would have happened if you had listened and did what was expected of you.”
“I can’t believe you.”Maya whispered , disappointment etched deep in her voice.
“Which pack were the wolves from?”James demanded , his stare deadly , my brother just like I , was always ready for a fight when anything threatened our family.
My gaze darkened.”I didn’t wait to find out , I killed them on the spot and I would gladly do it again in a split second.”
My father shook his head at me seeming distressed .”I understand why you did but you should have kept one alive to extract information from him , how would we know what the attack was about or if there is more to come?”
I stiffened at his words , there was no f*****g way I was letting something like this happen again .I would kill any and everything that threatened Lucy’s safety.
Lucy g*****d in my arms , distracting me from the conversation at hand.”We would have this discussion later , right now her wounds need tending too.”
LUCY’S POV:
I awoke with an excruciating pain in my head , I touched my forehead and winced as the pain doubled.My eyes snapped open and I had to blink twice as they adjusted to the bright light in the room.
Where was I?
“Lucy!”
My eyes followed the voice and it was only then that I realized I was surrounded by a group of people.Austin’s entire family were staring at me , their eyes filled with relief , I continued to scan the room and found what I was looking for.
Austin.
He stood in a corner , leaned up against the wall studying me and that was when it hit me.All the events of what happened flashed before my eyes , the wolves..Adam..Austin.
What were they?
“We need to talk.”The queen said .”About what you saw today.”
“What are you?”I asked hoarsely , my voice sounding thick to my own ear.
“We’re called werewolves .”The king answered.”We all are.”He continued as his gaze swept over his family.
Werewolves.
I’ve heard that term before , that name was often associated with vampires .I’ve read countless stories about them , they always seemed to intrigue me but never in a million years did I ever think that they actually existed.Before marrying Austin I’ve never met anyone that seemed to possess the qualities of that of a werewolf , never even encountered anything close to what I saw today.
“I thought werewolves only shifted on the full moon?”
The king gave me a faint smile.”So you have heard tales of us before.Our ancestors before us , the very first group of werewolves could only shift on the full moon however as centuries past werewolves learnt to better control when they shift , our bodies adapted with each new generation that entered the world.now it’s completely normal to see a wolf shift whenever they see it fit .It’s usually easier if they sense danger or need to protect someone or something.”
Oh.
“What else would you like to know about us?”Maya asked gently.Her pretty brunette hair which was usually tied in a messy bun fell like curtains around her round face , her dark expressive eyes , a warm pool blue wandered over me now with a guarded look, almost like she wasn’t sure how to talk to me anymore , unaware of how I would react.
I studied her for a moment , how could someone this sweet and gentle be a werewolf?
My gaze reluctantly went back to where Austin stood , he was looking at me with cautious eyes almost as if he expected me to snap any minute now , his gaze never leaving mine.I trembled , feeling pinned by his open stare.
Everything they said to me was too much for me to take in all at once , I didn’t know how to respond with the new information thrown at me.
Werewolves existed?
And I was married to one , one so dangerous that he could possibly wipe out an entire village if he really wanted to.
I instantly paled.
How did any of this happen , I had so many questions but yet I wasn’t sure if I was ready for them to be answered.
