Chapter 318: 1-4

Rainy nodded, still worried for what this meant for Kayla, worried that she would get hurt emotionally, Maybe it's easier to find him this young, build a friendship, and be around him so she isn't afraid. We don't know why mates find each other the way they do, or when they do. But maybe... she needs a friend... I may be biased but the amount of love I've seen Ben  shower Oakley with, wanting to protect her and let her know she isn't alone... "If you hadn't know Chris before... when you came back do you think that-" I didn't get to finish before she was shaking her head from side to side sharply, "No..." looking at Kayla for a minute, then back to me, "Sometimes I panic but what makes me calm is that I remember that he never hurt me when I was young. I know his heart," she whispered. I just smiled. "Hey Rainy, can I ask you a question?" she turns to me wary eyed. I just shake my head and hold up a palm, "it's nothing bad, I just wanted to discuss what you did last night, I mean your hair was turning purple," even I couldn't figure out what was happening. She sets her glass down, "What color wolf are you?" I blurt out in question, then my eyes fly over to Kayla, "We are both Silver wolves," she says. I control the emotions on my face, not giving much away but my mind is racing back to Wolf and his words, the stories about the silver and white wolves. "I'm not sure how to explain it, but when I'm feeling something deeply, like one emotion so concentrated... it – my vision changes, everything takes on a different color almost and almost on instinct – I don't even know how it happens. Chris and Logan both said that when my hair turns purple I also freeze them, it's not cold but it feels like they are being made solid and they can't breathe right either," she offers me. "What emotions?" I asked despite knowing that it was probably rage. "I – I don't mean to hurt them," she is quick to say, the idea of hurting either Logan or Chris pains her, "But I get so frustrated, and my skin tightens, my mind focuses on just that one thing, and I don't mean to send it to anyone, I'm not even sure how I've done it before." Hot then so cold. "What do you mean hot then cold?" She holds the glass in her hands focusing on that for a while, thinking until she gets a way to explain, "you know how we are normally warmer?" I nodded, "when that happens, it's like the hotter I get, the colder I feel, and – and-" she looks around, her mind at a lost for words. "It's like a cycle... you get angry and hot, then you get cold and that burns and you get colder." Rainy nods, thankful. "Would you mind if Jack, he's my Beta, he's been with me since I shifted. Do you mind if he tests your blood?" "No... that... that'll be okay..." she says but her eyes fly over to Kayla then back at me, I can only snort, "She grows plants... I'm not sure testing her blood would make it any simpler... you on the other hand..." my relaxed answer calming her I see Chris poke his head out, glancing at Rainy first, "Hey Kayla..." he waits until she looks at him, Bens soccer ball in her hand, "You ready for some lunch?" I bit my lip when she shakes her head, "Hey Chris... why don't you join us," I offer and the relief on his face would make one think I offered him water after being in the desert waterless for days. Oakley POV I didn't need to go to study with Kiley and Tera but once I was invited I figured that this was my new start, I shouldn't stay by myself, they weren't just like me, but they were my age. Back home most of the people I spoke to were older, I had study groups but everyone was practically 20 years older than me in them, so this was new for me in some ways. Once Kiley arrived Mrs. Ryan left the kitchen after the tense conversation that just occurred. I knew with her hearing, with all of theirs in fact that whatever I asked would be heard but I just didn't understand what was wrong with Connor, "Hey... Tera..." she looked up from her work, waiting for me to continue, "What did your brother Connor mean that I'm not the first person that Kieran hurt?" Kiley stopped writing, her eyes darting between Tera and I, "I – I thought you said you fell?" she asked confused. Nodding I didn't look away from Tera, "No... I did... Connor said that Kieran pushed me, though."
