The Prophecy

Chapter 8

Emily's POV

After our dinner we all went home. Aubrey exchanged numbers with the guys to make plans for mine and Jake's birthday. Maybe that's why I feel connected to him. I don't know. That night my dream was different, I was in the same forest but this time I didn't feel scared... when I heard the wolf behind me I turned around to see a beautiful Midnight black wolf with a white Cresent on his chest. Instead of him attacking me, I ran up to him and threw my arms around his neck. "Mate" I heard that same voice tell me in my head.

I woke up on Sunday feeling refreshed, I've had the best sleep I've had in months. Why did I not give my number to Eric... im so stupid. He has consumed every single space in my mind. I head down stairs with a big smile on my face. "What's gotten in to you young lady?" My father asks as I skip into the kitchen. "Nothing" I blush... "Oh boy, I know that look, that's the look of love" My mother says. I spit out my coffee very unlady like... "love??? No ways, I just met the guy" I mentally face palm myself for giving away my secret so quickly. "Ah huh, I knew it, tell us more" My mother says.

I tell them the story about what happened with Alexis and then how the guys saved us. I then mentioned that Jake's birthday is the same day as mine and I think I have a crush on Eric and that we will be seeing them again on my birthday. My parents sit quietly and stare at each other with wide eyes. It is almost as if they are having a silent conversation that I am not a part of. "Did you hear me mom and dad? Is it ok if I invite Jake and Eric over for my birthday?" I ask. My dad stands up immediately, "Absolutely not, no boys are allowed under this roof near my daughter, especially not Jake Carter" and he storms off.

I sit there in shock... I don't understand, my dad has never done that before. I look at my mom who mouths "It's fine, I'll talk to him". I go upstairs not bothering to find my dad and ask him what's wrong or what he has against the Carters. I walk over and flop onto my bed, I reach for my phone and see a message from an unknown number:

*Hi Emily, it's Eric. I hope you don't mind that I asked Aubrey for your number. I just wanted to see if you are ok? xx*

My heart starts beating fast in my chest. I stare at the two x's. Is that a kiss? Did he send me two kisses. It's probably just how he ends a text.
