Chapter 13

MILA

Once inside and knowing Emily has gone back to her house. I head straight up to my apartment, as I close the door behind me, I take a deep sigh and put the small potion bottle in a cupboard that Emily and I keep with the other potions that George has tried to make me drink. I need to make sure Emily and I come up with a story, or better yet I could always play dump. If i’m not careful George will force me to take it.

I walk over to the couch to sit.

“Can we talk now, Sapphire?” I ask as I can feel her stir inside. She listened to Emily and I talk. I let her, as I need to sense what she was feeling, also want what she thought about it all. Also she is very fond of Emily.

“Yeah, what do you want to know or do you want me to start at the beginning of what I remember?” she asks.

I sigh, I know she was protecting me. But I am my own person and I can always make my own choices, whether I like them or not.

“Start at the beginning and please don’t leave anything out” I say.

“Well, here goes.......when I started to shift and you would sometimes want to be left on your own especially when the dreams were happening, I would step forward to let you have a break and make sure no one would hurt you. I listened more than acted as I felt what you and Emily felt, most people around us were keeping us in the dark. I didn’t want to say anything to you as I wanted to make sure that I got all my facts straight first. I found out that George was slipping you a potion into your food to help with the nightmares but he would also wipe most of your memory too. I couldn’t tell what memory, he would spell me to sleep as soon I listened in” she sighs. Realising that what she just said makes sense that I can’t remember anything, especially if he kept wiping my memory. I remember some things but he was taking over memories too.

She continues “I knew you were trying to figure it all out but I couldn’t help. I didn’t want to tell George about our powers as I think he wants to use them for himself. I only told Emily as I was worried about the damage everything he was doing to you but also you love George, I want to make sure I had my facts right first so we kept it a secret from you as I wanted to find out more information about us and why he was so adamant in helping me get them all. Emily asked Gloria for the werewolves history book about the White wolf and we read it. Emily will bring it over for you to read later, just ask her. I think she knows we are talking” she says.

“Anyway, once we gathered up the information about the white wolf, I made sure that we only told George certain powers that I could use, most of the power we do have I keep hidden, we haven’t really used it as I don’t want to kill many people with it.” she says with a sigh “George became fascinated with everything. I remember you were hidden away for three weeks because of the attack on Skylar, it took it out on you so much you needed a break. I remember one night hearing George on the phone talking to Margo that some Faith didn’t want anyone to know where you were and he had to keep his promise to her'' she says

“Who is Faith? Emily heard him say the woman’s name last night to Sybil” I ask feeling agitated all of a sudden like I should know who she is.

Sapphire can feel what I can feel.

Do I know a Faith?

“I know what you are feeling as I felt the same way you do when I heard the name Mila” she says with a hint of sadness.

“Is there anything else I need to know about Sapphire?” I ask

She goes quiet and starts to pace a bit in my head “Sapphire, what aren’t you telling me?” I ask.

She sighs “We have a mate Mila, the man whore from the pack yesterday morning. The one who would rather have another female as his Luna” she says in a whisper.

That sentence alone hits me hard and takes me a while to recover. I have a mate. The man whore is my mate.

“Why did you run off Sapphire?” Asking the question which I already think I know the answer to.

“I didn’t want you to get hurt by him as you hate all wolves Mila. You kill wolves.” she sighs “I didn’t want you to think bad about any wolf. I want you to like us again. The strange part is, I know you don’t remember anything about when you came to town, but something else must have happened for you to hate wolves.”

I don’t say anything as I know she is right. I have always hated wolves even though they are my own kind. I have had to kill loads of rogues to keep our town safe as many wanted to stay or they were looking for trouble. But the hate I have is pure hatred but I don’t know why.

“You are right but now the pack is coming here, what are we going to do if we see our mate” I ask but she laughs slightly “One of our many powers, we have is masking scent but I also realized that we can mask the bond, mate bond to be exact. I will hide it till we know more about him.”

Remembering the scent of him of mint and forest, it brings warmth to my heart “I know you are thinking about him” she says with a smirk but turns serious “Mila, we will be careful for now, mate is a man whore but we don’t know anything about him” she says quietly.

I sigh knowing she is right. I don’t want to let my guard down. I get up slowly to get ready to go back down for my shift in the cafe.

Emily’s car is back outside, I can tell. It makes a strange noise when it stops. I laugh to myself.

I finish getting ready and head straight down, I know she is waiting by the stairs for us.
