One Tattoo Changes Your Life

Chapter 18 I’m a What?

We get back to the pack house, my mom has already been called and is almost here. I walk up to Jace’s room. Knowing Jace is right behind me I let him shut the door. I flop on the bed and Jace flops next to me, he grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers. I hear a door open, I look over to Jace’s door and it is still closed

“Your mom is here.”

“I don’t wanna go down there.”

“But we have to come on.”

“No.” I groaned

“Come on.”

“No.” Jace rolls over to me and says

“I’ll make you.” He whispers in my ear

“Sure.” I said rolling my eyes. Jace starts kissing right under my ear and I fight back a moan. He moves down my neck than back up kissing my jaw, done waiting for him to kiss my lips, I grab his face and pull him to my lips. Smashing my lips hard onto his, it quickly becomes headed. Jace bites my bottom lip asking for entrance, I moan and he slips his tongue into my mouth.

“Your mom… really guys.” We quickly pull apart and it's Jane

“What?” Jace asks like nothing is happening.

“Your making out without the door locked.”

“And?”

“I don't wanna see that.”

“Then maybe knock before you enter.” Jane just rolls her eyes and says

“Your mom is here, River.” With that she walks out of Jace’s room. Jace goes back to kissing me.

“We...have...to...go...down...stairs.” I said in between kisses

“No.” I roll over and get off the bed, he growls

“Don’t growl at me, we have to go downstairs, do you want my father to come up here and see us?”

“No, damn now I have to take a cold shower.”

“Wait…Oh.” Then I turn into a fit of laughter.

“Stop laughing.”

“No.”

“Why it's funny.”

“No it isn’t.”

“Yes it is.” I walk into the closet and grab some clothes, I walk into the bathroom and get ready. When I walk out Jace is still sitting on the bed.

“I’m going downstairs.”

“Wait for me.”

“Nope.” I walk out of our room and down the stairs. “Mom.”

“River.” I walk up to her and give her a hug. “How are you? Where is Jace?”

“I’m good. He is taking a cold shower.” I giggle.

“Oh. I heard you kicked someone’s ass the other day in training?” She giggles.

“Yeah, more like I kicked her ass and her minions, also some jerks asses.”

“I’m proud of you.”

“Thank you.” Jace comes down the stairs, his hair is wet and he is wearing a black fitted shirt with blue ripped jeans.

Jace POV

I heard River and her mother talking when I walked down i really looked at what river was wearing, she was wearing ripped skinny jeans and a green crop top that said “Not Your Baby” on it. She’s so feisty and I love it.

“She’s a what?” I growled.

“Yeah I’m a what?” River asks

“She’s a Mulier vocate lamentatrices.” Snowflake says

“Which translates to the wailing woman, she is a banshee.” Rivers mom says

“What the hell. Mom are you a Banshee?”

“No, but your grandmother was, your grandfather was a veneficus.”

“Which is a what?”

“He is a warlock.”

“What the hell.” I whisper

River POV

“So let me process this. I’m a demon wolf, a Banshee, and a witch. Is that right?”

“Yes.” My mother answers

“Holy s**t, why didn’t you tell me this? Is that why I have done all that training?”

“Because I wanted you safe and yes.”

“You wanted to keep me safe? Are you f*****g serious? You kept all of that from me to keep me safe. Really?”

“Yes.”

“Why?” She didn’t answer, she just looked down at the ground. I was beyond pissed. “Why?” I growled, she looked up and looked me straight in the eyes. Tingling was coursing through my veins and out my hands, I didn’t care i was to pissed at my parents from keeping this from me.

“River you need to calm down.” Jace said, I ignored him

“Why did you keep this from me.”

“It was to protect you.” My mother whispered.

“How was it supposed to protect me?” I growled

“If you didn’t know then it was likely that someone else knew.”

“You still could have told me, I wouldn’t have told anyone else.” Pain was laced with my words, I looked down at my hands and they were glowing pure white.
