FATED TO THE LYCAN TRIPLETS

CHAPTER THREE

MORGHAN POV

After meeting Lexi in the kitchen last night, I know that there is at least one other girl around this dreadful place! Besides, Lexi seems really nice.

Mamma kept so many things from me right down to having step siblings, which turn out to be no less than LYCANS! TRIPLETS! and BOYS!! Not to mention the younger brothers as well. The entire situation makes me want to groan out loud.

I honestly didn’t expect to have brothers, I seriously thought I was going to be the sibling to the ‘mean girls’, but I am sure they will be immature, spoilt brats anyway.

Lexi didn’t say much about them last night, but she did say she would see me today.

For now, I am at least looking forward to being here even if only to try and form a friendship with Lexi.

I look up at the window to see it’s still early, the sun hasn’t even shown its face over the horizon yet, it’s really quiet, it’s also quite calming. Gee, that makes me wonder if I that means I will have to get up at the ass crack of dawn if I want to get some tranquility around here.

I have to be awake before the sun comes up. Ugh! I don’t want to be awake this early.

With a grunt I roll over onto my back and throw my arm across my eyes. For some reason that thought bought memories of dad flooding back into my mind. “I miss you dad” I whisper out, making a conscious effort not to cry.

>> Memory

Some weeks when mamma was away, Dad and I would go hiking, he was insistent that we get going early and watch the sun come up from fantastic vantage point he had heard about or read about.

>>End Memory

Now, feeling ambitious I decide to get up, get dressed and take a walk and see if I can find somewhere to watch the sunrise.

It wasn’t as hard to leave the ‘Mansion/Palace’ or whatever it is that they like to call it. I only see a big ugly building, a Monstrosity. I can just imagine what the other kids at school will think of it.

Clearing my mind, I move toward the huge stone wall looking for a way to scale up to the top of it. Lucky I find a spot that I think will work.

Making my way up to the top of the wall with only seconds before the sun crests the mountains in the distance. It's rays blindly reaching up from behind them, the memories rush me, and my heart hurts, both for dad and Katie.

Mamma came looking for me around seven a.m. I didn’t know she got up this early. Then I remind myself that I promised Uncle Red that I would make an effort and play nice.

This morning a chat with mamma and his 'Lordship' Lycan King Lord Malachi enlightened me to all the ‘Do’s, Don’t's and the Where’s and When’s of things I am allowed to do!Now it seems I cant do anything around here without security I have lived all my life without it, what has changed so much? A guard or worse still one of my ‘step-brothers!’

Now all I want to do is scream and run away, but now that’s not possible either. I will have two guards at all times and when out ‘socialising or shopping’ I will have twice as many. What does he think, I am seriously going to try and run? or what the BoogieMan is going to get me? Like really!

I'm told I will even need to have guards at school which just so happens to resume in just under a month away now. I’m missing Katie more and more every stupid day that I am here, how am I going to do school and now life without her. I didn't just lose pappa, I lost my best friend, my other half, the completion of my soul by mamma making me mmove here! I want to hate her!

Why is it that I have to have all these things a new school is bad enough, now security and step-brothers that I am sure are going to look at me like I am the biggest burden, who wants to babysit after their STEP sister!

My life might as well be over, I am never going to have a life, or meet my mate. Wallowing to myself as it dawns on me, making me whirl back around, I marched myself back into the living room stopping directly in front of my mother, hands on my hips and all the attitude I can muster.

“I AM GOING TO THE MATING BALL, WITH KATIE! AND NO SECURITY!” Once I said the words, I tried to, as obnoxiously as I stormed in, I attempted to do the same to leave.

Attempted being the word. I should have guessed it wouldn't be that easy.
