Chapter 3
845 Words
Tonight Uncle Keith is bringing me to his friend's house tonight. Someone who he grew up with and is close to.
He keeps saying that maybe I will become friends with his son.
I am not looking forward to it. I will probably embarrass my uncle and I won't be able to show my face to them.
I get changed into skinny jeans and a flowy top. I walk downstairs and only hear uncle Keith wandering around in the kitchen. No mom and dad. I'm not surprised. They left as soon as they could.
I just want to know why they don't like me or want to be around me, as they always leave.
I start to tear up just by thinking of that.
'No not tears. Not tonight' I think to myself.
I take a deep breath and walk the rest of the way to the kitchen.
Walking in, I see uncle Keith looking at his phone leaning against the counter.
"I am ready to go."
Uncle Keith turns around and looks at me. He smiles.
"You look beautiful"
I'm shocked. No one has ever called me beautiful. Not even my parents."Really??"
He nods "Yeah. Are you ready to go?"
I nod and we leave the house getting in the car.
Once we get to the house I am shocked by the size of the house.
"How many people live here?"
Uncle Keith laughs "My old friend James has his family here but also lots of their friends."
"Okay"
Uncle Keith goes up to the front door and just walks in
"James!! Are you here?"
Once he said that a man, a young man. Like my age walks in. He was breathtaking. Once our eyes connected it was like the world stopped. I had no idea who this person is. But he came over and hugged me tightly. Not letting go.
He put his head in the crook of my neck. He kept saying mine over and over.
I pulled away slightly "Who are you?"
He smiles "My name is Jaxon. I live here. Keith came here to see my father."
I nod. I was still confused as to why Jaxon hugged me and said mine. What does that mean??
Uncle Keith looked at me. "Ellie, I have to tell you something. And I think that you should sit down. Jaxon go get your father please"
Jaxon looked hesitant to leave my side, but he did and got his father.
An older man walks into the living room behind Jaxon.
"Ah! Keith. So good to see you old friend"
While those two hugs, Jaxon comes and sits next to me on the couch.
Uncle Keith turns to me "Ellie this is James. My best friend in the world. James this is.."
"Ellie" James cut uncle off and smiles at me.
"Yes this is Ellie"
"Ellie I have something to tell you and Jaxon and James are going to help me. While we are talking, don't cut me off. Let me finish what I have to say. Alright"
I nodded. I'm confused as to what they are going to tell me.
"Okay well, have you heard of werewolves or vampires?"
I nod.
"Okay well, you probably think that they are just stories and not true. But they are. Because We are werewolves"
My jaw drops
James takes over "Yes all of use. You as well. 17 years ago Keith met his mate--I will explain mates in a minute-- He had a baby girl with her. Her name is Ellie." WHAT!! I don't say anything and let them finish "The mother died giving birth to the baby girl. Keith had his sister and her husband take care of the baby. That baby is you. Keith is your father"
I was shocked. I turn to Keith "WHy did you not raise me? Why did you send me away?"
"I didn't want to. But I had to. You see you are a special wolf. You have alpha blood in you as well as vampire. Your mother, my mate was a vampire. You are a hybrid. I wanted to keep you safe. So I let my sister take care of you. She doesn't know about you being a hybrid. So I thought that it was safe for you. But someone found out about you being a hybrid and started threatening you so I had my sister bring you here to be with me. And now you have your mate. Jaxon."
I turn to Jaxon. He smiles at me "Whats mates?"
Jaxon takes my hand in his "Mates are like soulmates. THe other half of your soul. The one person you are destined to be with for the rest of your life. The love of your life. You are mine to protect and I will protect you. I will not let anyone harm you."
I smile at him and he returns the smile.
"So I can turn into a wolf?"
"Yes but your mate, Jaxon had to mark you. Marking you would be him biting your next. It will unlock your abilities and let other unmated males know that you are taken and they won't mess with you."
I nod. I take everything in. I have to let Jaxon bit my neck. That sounds totally weird. But then again I am a wolf and a vampire. WOW. Crazy.
