Chapter 25

NATHANIEL

I stood a doorway away till I heard her lock the door.

I have fucked up bad here.

I sigh and take my leave towards the office door. I open it to find my dad sitting in his office chair with my mum, Dane, Emily and Beta Michael. They all look at me.

I head to the couch by the window.

My father is glaring at Emily, who has her head down, but it is hard to tell what is going on with her. Dane is holding her hand and saying things to her.

************************

EMILY

When I went to the cell, my parents were holding each other, they both looked up at me “You need to tell me what the hell is going on” I ask, I am sick of all this not knowing.

They quickly look at each other and then back at me “I haven’t got time for this, Alpha Leon will take me to his office and will ask questions.”

My father gets up and walks to the metal wall and blows gold dust in my face, I stumble back “She will remember everything when you gets back to the office” he says towards Dane who I know is by my side.

I close my eyes and it feels like a movie playing back to me.

The movie contains everything I know of Mila, Mila and Myself. I can feel all the emotions of everything flooding into my body. I scream out through all the pain and the sadness.

Somehow I am being carried back towards the pack house as I can feel the night air on my skin. I know its Dane that is holding me “Baby, please talk to me” my eyes fly open and I stare back at him. He has the most gorgeous brown eyes I have ever seen.

“What did your father do to you?” He asks as he stops and I place my feet back down on the ground, I look at him “He has been taking away my memories and Mila’s, we need to talk to your Alpha. I know some parts but not all” I tell him.

When we walk into the pack house and towards the office “Nate, finally told Alyssa about Mila being his mate” I looked at him but he opens the door and leads me inside where we find Alpha Leon, Luna Sophie and Beta Michael standing there. We take a seat in front of them.

My mind goes fuzzy again and I am reliving more memories, they are flooding in and out. Some happy memories, some awful and some shocking.

I hear the door go and I can tell its Nathaniel. I am trying to control everything around me. I can feel Dane holding my hand “Love, you need to tell them everything” he says quietly to me.

“You need to explain what the hell is going on here and I mean now?” Snarls Alpha Leon.

I look up and I can feel my magic raise. My eyes fly open and I know they are purple. Everyone is stunned. I control my breathing before I speak “I will tell you everything you want to know but I will tell you one thing, you will not interrupt me. I lost my memories due to my father and when I just visited before coming here, he has given them back to me. I have to relive every single thing that happened over the years for me and Mila” I say and I can feel my magic subsiding and my eyes going back to my green eyes.

“Why would your father take your memories away?” Asks Alpha Leon. I look at him.

“He did it to protect us, or more like Mila” I say

“You see....Mila isn’t my real sister. She was found wondering in the forest by my father. I can't remember what happened but all I remember he was carrying her through the front door, she was covered in blood. She was only five years old at the time. My dad had to give her a sleeping potion as she was crying and screaming too much. My father was covered in blood too but he said that it wasn’t neither his or Mila’s. I was six at the time and my mum sent me to bed while my father put Mila in the spare room next to mine. I didn’t hear much after that until Mila started screaming in her sleep. I woke up and she was staring at me. The look on her face made me want to protect her, so I climbed into bed with her and lay with her. I told her I would be her friend.” All the time I was talking, everyone’s emotions were full of sadness and confusion. I carried on while still holding Dane’s hand.

“I remember waking up to Mila, she was climbing through the window and down a drain pipe. She told me to go with her and I did. I knew I had to protect her. We went back into the forest. It was a long walk, I knew my parents left the house to go and see the council members. They always were a long time there so I knew we would be ok, we walked until we came to our holiday cabin. Mila was looking around the place; she looked like she was trying to find something. All I can remember was the whole cabin was trashed and covered in blood, loads and loads of blood everywhere inside and out. There were no bodies. Mila came out of the cabin, crying and wrapped in a shawl. She started walking back, I had the feeling something bad had happened there. Mila never said a word. We climbed back into the house. She didn’t go to bed; she sat on the floor with her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, her head resting on her knees. When my parents came back home, she won’t move or talk to anyone. My father seen the shawl and screamed at her which resulted in her being more upset. When my father left, my grandmother came in and I followed her. We sat on the bed watching her. I got up and sat next to her. I wrapped my arms around her. I let her cry. I wanted to help her so much, take away the pain. You see there is a way we can connect, as witches we have light magic which I have, showing compassion towards someone means something but as a witch if you feel something for someone who is not your mate or family member, you can have a connection. I remember my grandmother saying the spell once before and she could feel that persons pain and help them. I remember the words so clear, I said them quietly to myself, and Mila and I were connected that night. I felt everything she did, I took as much as I could but all the heartache, anger she had, it was too much. My grandmother said the same words and she helped me. It was heart wrenching to watch a child feel all that.”

I move out of my chair and walk to the window. I can see the full moon. I sigh and turn around to face everyone.

“That’s why you can feel everything Mila feels” says Dane who is looking at Nathaniel.

I nod “You see Mila is different too.” I say “How different?” Luna Sophie asks a single tear escapes her eye.

I sigh; I know I shouldn’t say anything but they need to know “You see......Mila is a werewolf”

There are gasps and anger; confusion around the room “YOU LIE, SHE HAS NO SCENT, SHE IS HUMAN” shouts Alpha Leon.

I look at him “I told you to listen to everything first and not to interrupt me, I’m not a wolf so you cannot control me” I hiss back. I hear a growl come from Nate “Enough, she told us she was human, how can she hide her scent from her own kind” he snaps at me.

My power is back and my eyes turn purple, “Listen here, I am trying to explain what I know but you are not letting me, so if both of you don't shut up and let me talk, I will take myself to the cells and stay with my parents” I argue. I can see the hurt on Danes face when I look at him but the rest of these wolves are getting on my nerves.

“Emily, please calm down. Explain to us everything. You two wise up or I will make you leave” says Luna Sophie, glaring at Nathaniel but is holding Alpha Leon’s hand, calming him down.

My magic cooling down again and I take the seat next to Dane and hold his hand to reassure him that I’m not leaving “I’m sorry, my magic flares up with my emotions. I am telling you the truth though; Mila is a werewolf and a very special one. She is a white wolf”

They all gasp “How can that be? There has never been a white wolf in existence” says Beta Michael while everyone nods in agreement.

“Yeah, well one does now, Mila shifted when she was 10 which came as a shock to me and my grandmother. We had to help her through it. I didn’t realize how painful it was for you all till witnessing Mila going through it.”

“She needs to be protected and needs to stay here with us” says Alpha Leon.

I glare at him “Alpha Leon, this is why we have kept her from you and many others. We know the tales of the White Wolf. Mila is not coming here to stay unless she wants too. And I am going to say this once more, stop interrupting me” I hiss back.

“Mila is not the only one you will have to worry about though, Sapphire her wolf won’t allow it. She is one wolf you cannot tame” I say with a smirk, thinking about what Sapphire would do to him.

“She will, she’s a wolf” he snarls.

“You are forgetting Alpha, Sapphire and Mila are not your normal wolf, they are the descendant of your Moon Goddess. You will not tame or control them and besides they have never been in a pack so they don’t know any of your ways, it would be taming a lion at a park with children” I say.

“Also they are very powerful, you must have felt the aura Sapphire was letting off when she stopped the arguing outside earlier” I say, I look back at him and he is staring back with a blank expression.

“I felt it” Luna Sophie says while all the others nod.

I keep looking at the Alpha and he nods.

“They are slowly coming into their powers and its getting magnified with every emotion she feels” I say this and turn to Nathanial “You know she is your mate, don’t you?” He is staring up at me with tears and the guilt running off him is unreal.

“She was going to tell you" I hiss at him. “You do realize she felt everything, everything you did with Alyssa. You caused her so much pain. The mate bond was magnified for her due to her power.”

“NATE, HOW COULD YOU?” Shouts Luna Sophie.

“I didn’t know she was” he says dumbfounded “she told me she was human and she never would talk to me.”
