Chapter 19
Sitara.


Fright is a feeling I'm very much used to. Sadness is somewhat new to me. I have never been sad before, not when they told me my real parents had most likely died, not when they told me they couldn't adopt me the first time and not when Kyle got attacked.

Fright was the only sense that seemed to stick with me because I began to wonder if I would be next, if I would have the same fate or worse.

As I exited the car and walked towards my front door, I tried to think positively. Maybe they dpund her, and they came to tell me that maybe she is inside and they came to visit me. That's was a lie, and I was dead wrong.

From the look in Kelly's mother's eyes as she walked past me, I knew something was terribly wrong.

"Sitara honey, come inside, I'll bring you some tea."
Mom said as she took my bag and disappeared into the kitchen. Dad came down upstairs and sat across me. He does that think with his glasses when he has something to say that would make you uncomfortable.

"This morning, Alpha Tony's received a package. The package had a necklace in it and a pair of glasses."

I shuffled in my seat as a wave of emotion wasted over me, I know what he is going to say, and I rather he didn't.

"The necklace was covered in blood, and it had strands of hair on it. The necklace belonged to Kelly and did the blood and the hair.

The council had sent their officers to run a DNA test, and it came back as hers. Her mother wasn't at home when it happened, but Alpha Tony called her at work and informed her.

She came to tell you that there would be a service held at their home on Monday for Kelly, and she would love for you to attend.

She also would like if you could say a few words as Kelly didn't have any friends besides you. Now I told her this is something new to you so I'm not sure if you would be ok with talking in front of all those people. She said she totally understands that you can't, but she would really love it if you could."

The feeling of sadness washed over me, I really had high hopes that they would have found her and alive as well.

My parents gave me a little bit of Tim to come to terms with what had happened, even though it didn't take me that long to accept they still gave me space.

Later that night, I received a message from Mariah telling me that she had heard what happened and if I would like for her to come over. I told her it was OK and not to worry.

Bed time came around, and I couldn't sleep, so I decided to open the gift that Travis had left on my pillow the day before he left for Paris.

As I teared the paper and the cover was exposed, I cheered up immediately. It's the book I didn't get to finish the other night. Without hesitation, I laid down in bed and began reading where I left off.

Im not sure when I fell asleep, but all I knew was I heard a little knock in my window, and that's what woke me from my sleep. It's Kyle, he snuck out the hospital it looks like.

Throwing the ladder down the window like I always did when I was younger, I watched as he climbed up and then watched as Mariah did the same. She came out of nowhere.

"Kyle, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be asleep in the hospital?"

"I got discharged, a little while after you left to come home and as for Mariah she told me what had happened, and as your Beta and Gama also best friends we decided that we shouldn't leave you alone at a time like this."

He closed the window shut and dropped his body on the bed.

"There is something about your bed that always makes me want to fall asleep. It's so comfortable."

Kyle said.

"Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that your father is lead warrior and thinks one should be uncomfortable in order to survive."

Mariah asks with a chuckle.

"No, well, maybe that could have something to do with it."

Kyle replied.
"Guys, I said I'm fine. You don't need to check up on me."

" we know you aren't fine, Sitara from your friend being dead, the twins, their mother, and her behavior, and now you have a wolf that's gone completely silent, and you may shift anytime soon.
you need us."
Mariah said.

"How did you know my wolf went silent?"

"we heard your mother and cousin talking downstairs, and I heard a group of members from the pack talking about the argument the Alphas had with their parents."

"Great, now everybody knows how they feel about me, and the thing is I never looked at her in that light. I always thought she treated people equally, but I see now it's an act."

"Sitara, don't let little things distract you from the bigger picture. one day you will be luna and you will be the best Luna this pack will ever have."

Mariah pats me on the shoulder and slaps Kyle on his leg.

"See, this is why you sleep on the floor. we came to keep her company not to sleep on her bed."

We all burst out laughing.

A knock on the door silenced us.

"Sitara, I brought snacks for you and your friends."

Mariah opens the door with a wide grin while mom hands her the tray and smiles. She looks at me, at Kyle and at Mariah, and shakes her head.

" Some things never change, do they?"

She smiles and leaves us to it.

"So what do you guys wanna do,we could watch a movie or play a board game."

"Movie it is.
.They both say, grabbing the remote and finding their place on the bed, we watched a movie called Grown ups m with a group of grown men who wem5 in a trip after there basket ball coach died.

I couldn't remember the last time I laughed so much before this, on a night like this I truly realised how I was lucky to still have people who cared about me thus much to check up on me even when I didn't want them to..

After the movie, we played a game of monopoly, mom, dad, and Cleveland. My cousin joined. The game went on for hours until we finally decided to call it a night.

Kyle. Mariah and I crawled our way up the stairs and found our place in bed once more. Mariah on the right I on the left and Kyle in the middle just like old times.

we all held each other hands and talked until we fell asleep.

"Sitara...... Sitara. help me.....please siatara."

"Kelly, where.. where are you."

She screams.

"Help me please...... somebody, he, he ......."

"Kelly, where are you."

I bolt from my sleep in the last scream, Kyle and Mariah are still asleep, so I crawled from the bed as gentle as I could and went into the kitchen for a glass of water.


Opening the fridge I took out the glass mug and poured some of the ice water in the cup, as I held the cup to my lips a loud bang on the door scares me and my glass drops to the floor smashing into pieces.

The knocking continued and continued ued as I stood rooted to the spot in the kitchen. My father, mother, Cleveland, and Mariah and Kyle all ran downstairs

My mom pulled us behind her, and dad and Cleveland walked towards the door.

"Who is it?"

Dad asked but didn't get any answer. The person just kept knocking and knocking, Dad stretched for the door, but I stopped him.

"Something doesn't feel right, dad."

I said to him, he turned around and gave me the look of assurance that everything would be ok.

"Who is it?"

He asked again. When he didn't get any answer, he looked at Cleveland, who shifted to his wolf, Henry, preparing himself for whatever was behind the door.

"Who is it."

Dad asked as he turned the door lnob to open the door.
