Beep Beep Beep, I reach over and turn off the alarm on my phone. I feel an arm squeeze my waist as I try to move, I lay back and allow the arm to pull me closer to it's owners body. "Where do you think you're going" Frank's husky voice whispers into my ear.
I smile as his breath tickles my neck, "We have to get ready to meet your brother remember" I whispered as his grip tightened around me.
"He can wait" he moaned then kissed my neck, I moaned as he continued to kiss along my neck. His hand moved under my shirt and made it's way to my breasts, "Frank" I tried to talk but all I could do was moan.
Knock Knock Knock, "Emily are you up?" came Lori's voice from my door.
"Y.....ye.....yes" I stuttered out.
"Are you okay?" she asked opening my door. "Oh my, I'm sorry" she covered here eyes then walked back out closing the door behind her. "Um, you guys should get ready if you want to get there by 7" she stuttered out.
"We'll be down in a minute" I called out to her, I threw my hands over my face in embarrassment. Frank laughed into my neck, "It's not funny" I pushed him off me then got up.
"Oh come on, it was a little funny" he smiled at me. "Did you see her face?" he started laughing again. "She looked like she walked in on us having s*x" he kept laughing. I groaned and smacked him in the face with a pillow, I got up off the bed and walked to my closet. I grabbed a pair of black jeans and a purple blouse, I walked out of the closet and over to my dresser. I opened a drawer and pulled out a pair of black panties and a black lace bra. I took my clothes into the bathroom and got myself ready. I came out of the bathroom to find Frank dressed and sitting on my bed looking through his phone.
"You know you could've done that in here" he said not looking away from his phone. "I wouldn't mind seeing every inch of your body" he turned and wiggled his eyebrows.
"Sorry you don't get that privilege yet" I smirked at him then sat down at my vanity desk.
"Oh really" he raised a brow then smirked. "And when exactly do I get that privilege?" he looked at me curiously.
"When I think you've earned it" I smirked while putting blush on.
"I have to earn to see my mate's naked body" his eyes went wide with shock.
I finished putting on the little bit of make-up that I wear then turned to look at him, "Frank you know I was raised to wait until marriage, so until we get married it has to stay PG" I told him.
"Technically when I mark you you will be my wife" he said walking towards me.
"Well then you're not marking me until you graduate" I stood up and pushed his chest with my finger.
"Why wait? I could just do it now" he wiggled is brows.
"Emily, you ready?" came Lori's voice outside my door.
"Yeah" I called back. "Time to go" I moved past him and opened my door.
"This conversation is not over" he looked at me sternly then followed after me.
We drove to the restaurant in Franks Mustang, we pulled up to the restaurant at 6:45. We went inside and made our way to my office, the restaurant was closed today due to the grease traps being cleaned. Fred called Frank to let him know he was outside so he went and let him in. "So how exactly should we tell Amy that the baby she's carrying is a werewolf?" Lori spat out as we all settled in.
"Well good morning to you too Lori" Fred greeted her sarcastically.
"There's no time for pleasantries Fred" she said. "We need to figure out how to tell Amy" she told him.
"First we need to tell you two everything" Frank said to us. "Did you bring it?" he asked Fred.
"Yeah" Fred reached into his jacket and pulled out some papers and handed them to Frank.
"What are those?" I asked Frank.
"These are the DNA reports for the wolf that attacked Amy" he said looking at the reports.
"So who is he?" Lori asked.
"Lukas" Frank said disappointedly, Lori's eyes widen with shock.
"Lukas Hartman?" she shrieked, she stood up and moved behind her chair. "Are you sure?" she was still in shock.
Fred nodded his head, "I'm sorry Lori" he lowered his head.
"I didn't know he was a wolf" I said shocked.
"Neither did I" Lori said now pacing the floor behind her chair.
"Why would he do this and where has he been all these years" I asked.
"He was banished from our territory and pack" Fred sighed.
"Why?" I asked then regretted it when I saw the look on Fred's face.
"He attacked Sheila after he found out that she and Fred were mates" Frank told me as he grabbed my hand, I was shocked. I felt bad for Sheila and Fred, I remember all three of them were really close. It must have killed Fred to have to deal with his best friend attacking the love of his life.
"I'm so sorry Fred" I looked at him sympathetically.
"It's fine, Sheila handled herself the way a good Luna and warrior should" he smiled. "She fought him off before he could do anything to her, she was brave" he smiled. "The answer to why he did it, I don't have a clue" he shrugged his shoulders.
"We won't know anything until we catch him" Frank said.
"How come you haven't caught him yet?" Lori asked folding her arms across her chest.
"We just got word that he's working with a witch and that's why we keep losing his tracks" Frank handed me the reports, I started reading the report. I couldn't believe what I was reading.
"He's using magic to mask his scent?" I couldn't believe this.
"How did he get past border control?" Lori asked.
"The magic this witch is using makes him invisible, he can come and go through any territory as he pleases without getting caught" Frank told us.
"We have trackers and warriors from other territories looking for him" Fred told us. "He'll slip up once and that's when we'll get him" he sounded confident.
"We'll get him, I promise" Frank took my hand and squeezed it.
"I believe you" I smiled at him.
We decided to tell Amy tonight after dinner at their house, I hope she doesn't completely freak out. She's a pretty level headed person and plus she reads all those sci-fi books so she might actually be cool with this. Frank took Lori and me home, Lori then went to the bakery. I found Amy in the living room working on her laptop, she's taking online classes until she's comfortable going back to campus. "Hey" I come up beside the couch so not to startle her.
"Hey" she looks up from her laptop.
"School?" I point to her laptop.
"Submitting my assignments" she closed the lid. "How did it go with the accountant?" she asked me.
"Good" I smiled, I went and sat next to her on the couch. "Um, Frank called and his parents invited us over for dinner tonight" I told her.
"Oh, I don't know Em" she leaned back into the couch.
"They want to repay us for last nights dinner" I told her.
"Okay, I guess" she shrugged her shoulders.
"Be ready by 6 pm okay" I got up from the couch and went to the kitchen to make something to eat.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stephanie and Sheila were helping my mom in the kitchen while Fred and my father were going over some final details for tonight. I was in my room, I took a shower then went into my nice huge walk-in closet. I grabbed a pair of black jeans and a navy blue t-shirt, I pulled on a pair of boxers and grabbed some socks. I walked into my room and tossed my clothes on my king sized platform bed then went back into the bathroom to brush my teeth and put deodorant on. I finished getting ready then made my way downstairs.
"Look who finally decided to grace us with his presence" Steven teased as I walked into the living room.
"Shut up" I punched him in the arm.
"Ow" he rubbed his arm, "dude now I'm going to have a huge bruise" he huffed.
"Oh please, that bruise will be gone in 5 seconds you big baby" Fred laughed as he and dad walked into the living room.
"The girls will be here any minute, I expect you to behave yourself Steven" my father pointed his finger at Steven.
"I'm always good" Steven said then winked at me.
"We mean it Steven, no antics not tonight" Fred told him sternly.
"Alright alright, I'll behave myself just for tonight" he surrendered.
"I felt my ears twitch then I heard tires rolling up the driveway, "They're here" I said then went to the front door. I opened the door then stepped outside just as their car came to a stop, I walked over to the car and opened the driver side door. Emily stepped out and smiled at me, "i can't believe you're still driving this hunk of junk" I smiled at her.
"It maybe a hunk of junk, but it's gets me from point A to point B" she replied as I closed her door.
"Don't mock her choice of car when you're driving a car older than you are" Fred chuckled as he opened Lori's door.
"I worked really hard restoring that baby" I I defended as I opened the back door for Amy.
"Thanks Frank" she said as I helped her out of the car. we walked into the house, Fred and I took their coats after entering the foyer. I took the coats to the hall closet and hung them up while Fred guided them to the living room. I headed to the kitchen to get some drinks then headed back to the living room, I handed Lori and Emily some beers and handed Amy a gingerale. I took a seat next to Emily and put my arm around her shoulder, we were sitting around waiting for dinner when the front door opened and closed. The scent in the air told us it was Johnny.
"Sorry I'm late" he said walking into the living room, he walked over to Lori and leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.
"You're not late dude" Fred told him. "You want a beer?' he asked him.
"Sure thanks" he sat down next to Lori, Fred went into the kitchen to get some more beers. Fred and Sheila came back into the living room and handed the beers out, Fred took a seat on an armchair and Sheila sat on his lap.
"Amy, how are you feeling?' sheila asked her.
"I'm okay, the morning sickness is starting to subside" she replied.
"I bet you're glad for that" Steven smiled at her.
"I'll be a lot happier when the smell of certain things don't make me sick" she chuckled.
"My mom walks into the living room, "Dinner is ready" she says with a smile.
"Great I'm starving" Steven jumps up and we all laugh.
After dinner everyone helped clean up then we all gathered in the living room, Emily and Lori sat with Amy on the couch. Steven sat on one of the armchairs and Stephanie sat on the other, my parents sat on the love seat. Sheila sat on an ottoman by the fireplace, Johnny sat on the arm of the couch next to Lori. Fred and I sat in front of Amy and Emily on the coffee table.
"What's going on guys" Amy asked looking confused.
"Amy there's something we need to tell you" Emily turned to her and took a hold of her hand.
"Okay" she replied confused.
"You know all those sci-fi books you read" Emily looked her in the eyes.
"Yeah" she replied and furrowed her brow.
"What if I told you they weren't fiction?" she looked at her cautiously, she looked at me wide eyed then she looked around at everyone else.
"Ha ha ha ha ha" she started laughing. "Are you pranking me?" she laughed.
"It's not a prank" Lori told her, Amy looked at Lori's serious expression then stopped laughing.
"You can't be serious" she said soberly. "That stuff is make believe, it's not real" she started to panic.
"Amy breath, calm down" Emily rubbed her back, she took some deep breaths and started to calm herself down.
"So you're telling me that it's all real, vampires, werewolves, witches, it's all real" she looks at me with wide eyes and I nod in response. "So vampires are real?" she asks.
"Unfortunately yes" I replied.
"But they have evolved during the past hundred year" Fred told her. "They don't hunt down humans to feed anymore, they use donor blood to live" he said.
"Donor blood?" Amy questions.
"They pay humans for their blood" I told her.
"Oh" she replied. "So I'm guessing you're telling me this because you guys are what?" Werewolves? Witches?" she looked at Fred and me.
"Werewolves" Fred replied to her.
"Seriously?" she asked wide eyed.
"We'll show you" Fred said then gestured Sheila to come over, Sheila came and sat in front of Amy and took her hand.
"Amy I'm about to show you something , try not to panic okay" Sheila squeezed her hand then Amy nodded. Sheila relaxed and closed her eyes, she took a deep breath then slowly opened her eyes., Amy covered her mouth with her free hand and her eyes widened with shock as she saw Sheila's grey eyes. Sheila took another deep breath with her eyes closed and when she opened them they were back to their normal brown color.
"Don't be afraid" I touched her knee, she looked at me and I could see the tears.
She removed her hand from her mouth, "Why are you telling me this?" her voice was shaky.
"There's something else you need to know about" Emily told her, Amy tensed up but I could tell she was bracing herself for what Emily was about to say. I nodded to Emily to continue, "The guy that attacked you" she paused and braced herself. "He was or should I say is a werewolf" she held Amy's hand.
"What" Amy began to cry. "This can't be happening" Emily pulled her into her arms as she cried.
"I'm so sorry Amy" Sheila said.
"How......how do you know he's a werewolf?" she asked through sobs.
"We ran his DNA in our private lab" my father told her.
"So you know who he is?" she sniffled as she started to calm down.
"Yes we do and we're doing everything we can to catch him" he told her.
"Who is he?" she asked.
"Amy you don't need to know that" Emily tried telling her.
"Yes I do, I want to know" she said wiping the tears from her face.
"I really don't....." I started to say but was cut off by my father.
"If she wants to know then we shall tell her" he said, my father walked over to the couch. Sheila left her spot in front of Amy and my father took her place. "His name is Lukas Hartman" he grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes, "he was a member of this pack" he told her. "He was Fred's best friend and future Beta, he was expelled from the pack and territory for attacking Sheila" he finished telling her.
"Why me?" Amy asked.
"I don't know sweetheart, but I will find him and I will kill him" he pulled her into his arms and hugged her. My father and mother loved Lori, Emily and Amy like their own, to them they were like their daughters. My parents went to high school with their parents, they were best friends for years. My father eventually made the decision to come out to Emily's father before he became Alpha. I guess that's why our families were always so close through the years, that's probably why my parents were so happy to find out Emily was my mate.
