The Unexpected Mate

Chapter 13

***Nick's Point of View***

    "Hey gorgeous, I think I'm gonna take a walk while you and your mom get lunch ready".

   "Oh ok.  Don't take to long though I think she is just making us sandwiches.  Any special requests"?

    "I won't be to long promise and nope I'm good with jut about everything".

        With that being said I give her a quick kiss on the cheek and walk out the door only to find my mom and dad waiting for me.  Before they could say anything though I put my hand up to stop them and wave to walk a little away from the house.  Thankfully my dad understands and does as I ask them to before he says anything.

    "Were you going to tell us that you were coming home this weekend?  Did you get the design and the merge done"?

    Typical dad always thinking about work.  "Yes dad I got all that needed my attention done and I was eventually going to tell you guys I was home".

    "Why were you debating on telling us?  You must've known the guards would have told us you were here".

    "I'm here with my possible mate that I thought was human but apparently she is not"?

    "What do you mean she isn't human dear?  I thought you said she didn't know anything about our world and life style", my mom asked me.

    "Apparently she doesn't know anything about who or what she is.  Her parents have been keeping it from her for a while now".

    "Well hopefully she doesn't take it hard about her parents lying to her.  For your sake son and our packs".

        With that they said their goodbyes and I headed back to the house for lunch.  I just can't believe that her parents kept this from her this long.  They should have been preparing her for her wolf when she was 16.  That's generally when everyone is told about their wolves I wonder why the decided to keep it a secret from her for so long.  I mean she can't be to much younger than me can she?

        Walking back into the house I notice that her dad has made his way into the kitchen so I head there myself.  What I walk into though is a whole different story.  There I see Lizzy, her mom, and dad all just sitting around the table talking, laughing, and just enjoying the company.  I don't think I've ever had that with my own parents since I'm the oldest and next in line for alpha.  It makes me wonder even more on why they didn't tell her about who and what she is.

***Lizzy's Point of View***

        I sense that Nick is back in the house before I even see him.  His scent of pine and rain are really strong almost like it is a cologne or something.  I will have to ask him what his favorite brand is so I can get him some for Christmas or maybe even his birthday whenever that is.  Come to think about it though I don't even know how old he is.  Age isn't really a big deal to me I just hope that he isn't like 10 years older than me though.

        Mom, dad, and I are just sitting around the table talking and catching up on everything that I have missed in the last couple of years.  Apparently all my brothers have moved out with their girlfriends so it is just them living in the house now.  I find that kind of odd although mom and dad seem happy about it.  Who am I to judge though?

        I left the house before I was even 18 to start my own life.  Finally Nick walks back into the kitchen though I wonder why it took him so long to join us.  With him finally joining us we take a break from talking to eat our lunch before the serious conversation takes place.

    "Alright mom, time to spill the beans".

    "Are you sure you don't want to wait until tomorrow sweetie?  I mean you just got here and haven't even unpacked yet".

    "If I wait any longer mom the suspense is going to kill me".

    "If you insist sweetie but lets go to the living room where it is a little more comfortable".

        We all get up from the table and head to the living room to start the talk that may or may not change my life.  Hopefully its nothing life threating or dad and mom are getting divorced.  I don't think that my heart could handle them splitting up after all this time.

    "Now Lizzy, what we are about to tell you may come off to you.  I promise though everything that your father and I have done is was for your own safety".

    "Ok.  I don't understand what you are saying mom".

    "Lizzy.  We are not human".

    "W-what do you mean we aren't h-human?  If we aren't human then what are we"?

    "We are what people call werewolves.  But not the ones that you watch in horror movies or anything like that".

    "What do you mean?  The only types of werewolves are the ones in horror movies.  Werewolves can't be real".

    "Hunny, your mother and I didn't tell you about all of this because we didn't think it was necessary until you met your mate".

    "Seriously?  You guys to with the whole mate thing?  First it was Nick telling me werewolves exsited and he was in line to take over the alpha position.  Now it's my own parents.  What's next my brothers and their girlfriends too"?

        They all just kind of looked at me with sad eyes like I was correct.  I can't believe that my parents and brothers have been lying to me my whole life.  Why didn't they feel the need to tell me about our family?  Am I not part of this family also?  Oh my goodness!  Maybe I'm adopted and they aren't my real parents.  That has to go be the reason why I'm not like them.

    "Gorgeous?  Please talk to us.  Don't keep it all inside it is not good for you".

    "I was just trying to figure everything out.  Mom, dad am I adopted?  That has got to be the reason that I'm not like you guys right"?

    "Sorry sweetie you are not adopted.  You came from me with your fathers help of course", my mom said with a small smile trying to lighten the mood.

    "I just don't understand.  If I'm a werewolf like the rest of you guys then why haven't I noticed and when was I suppose to realize that I am one of you guys"?

    "Yes I'm also curious as to why she seems to not have her wolf yet when we get them at 18", Nick said to my parents.

    "Well that is a little bit complicated.  Yes you should have gotten your wolf at 18 but when you decided that you wanted to leave before you got your wolf we contacted an old friend of ours".

    "What do you mean?  You could have just told me the truth and then I probably would have stayed so you guys could have taught me everything I needed to know".

    "We didn't want to keep you from your dreams dear.  We knew how important it was to you to be out on your own taking on the world".

    "It still doesn't explain why you guys lied to me my entire life.  Anyways about this old friend that you guys mentioned.  Where does he or she come into play"?
