Shewolf

Chapter 2: reunited

-JASMINE POV-

A familiar voice bellows my name from the front of the house. I whip around and who do I see but my but my big i***t brother hurtling towards me. I jump into his outstretched arms and he easily lifts me up off the ground. "Matt" I breathe. 

He hasn't changed one bit with his ginger hair, green eyes and pale skin. Freckles splatter his face and his grin has a boyish charm that could light up any room. That's just Matt for you, always a goofball.

"Aw sis I've missed you" He sets me down on the ground and surveys me with his hands on his hips.

"Not as much as I've missed you Mathew, don't ever leave me with those two again." I playfully punch his large bicep and shoot a devilish grin at my parents.

"Hey!" Dad yells walking over to us and brings us into a big family bear hug which I relish: I hadn't realised how much I missed us all being together. When we break apart I stand back and look at the house towering above me. 

"So is this something to do with our family connections? Because WHAT THE HELL?!" I wave my arms to try and indicate the size of the place and my parents anxiously look at one another. 

"Look honey-"

"Welcome to red star pack, I'm beta Jacob." A tall man with jet black hair wanders over to us with a big smile and an outstretched hand. My mouth gapes open a little at him and his smile turns to one of concern when he sees me. My parents turn slowly from me to Jacob and I notice they're sweating like a couple of sinners in church.

"It's lovely to see you Jacob, I remember seeing you when you were only a baby" my mum smiles warmly and my jaw drops a little more. "This is my husband Andy and our daughter Jasmine" she gestures to me but her hand falls when she looks at my face. "She doesn't know" she almost whispers.

"Ok what is going on here. Pack? Beta? What is this, some cult you're trying to sell me to?!" I am completely flabbergasted as I look between the group searching for answers.

"Is there perhaps somewhere more private we could discuss this?" My dad asks Jacob who nods slowly and leads the way into the house. He takes us all to what appears to be a meeting room and everyone takes a seat except me.

"Spill" I growl, crossing my arms across my chest and boring into my parent with narrow eyes. 

"You might want to sit dow-"

"Mum if you don't tell me what is going on right now I'm going to assume you've kidnapped me and I will run out of here so fast you won't be able to stop me so get chatting" I yell knowing full well that my sprint is more like a jog compared to most people but that is beside the point!

Suddenly very interested in his hands, my dad begins.

"Jasmine, what I'm about to tell you is going to sound a little strange and I need you to think with an open mind". Yep. This is definitely a cult.

"Your mother and I used to live here with your brother before you were born. When your grandma was still with us and needed someone to care for her, we decided that the best thing to do was move to England and settle down there with the intention of moving back when she passed. We fell so in love with England though we couldn't tear ourselves away, so we stayed and hid the truth from you and Matt."

"What truth?" I ask cautiously.

"Well you see this is a special place that only people like us can find. Darling,

the thing is, we're werewolves."
