"You know we don't have to go through with this." Scarlett informs me as she looks at her food on the table. "We can figure out another way to get your grandpas company back up without the whole marriage thing." she suggests as she takes a sip of her coke.
"If there's another way, feel free to tell me. I'm all open for ideas." I say as I look at my plate of pasta.
She sighs as she looks at me "I don't have a plan yet but if you don't want this we could just tell them you know." she insists.
"Why are you so against it?" I ask confused. "I thought you were excited that you would marry a werewolf?"
"My aunt told me that it's a great burden to marry someone who isn't your soulmate." she puts down her fork as she looks at me with a worried expression. "You have a soulmate out there. Meaning this will be a burden to you and to her."
"You don't know that." I say as I take a drink from my water. "What if shes okay with this? Me marrying someone else and her marrying some other person?"
She begins to laugh as she says in a confident tone "you aren't serious are you?" she looks at me with a serious expression. "fine, at this point if you find her you can't take back this decision."
"Fine with me." I say without a second thought. " I won't back out."
"I really do hope you don't regret this later." she says as she continues to eat.
after we ate we headed towards Cleo's house for her birthday party.
"sir are you sure that you aren't ready to give your son the pack yet?" a man with dark brown hair and glasses asks an older man with wrinkles on his face.
"yes, but I want to be able to spend as much time as I can taking care of my pack." that man says as he looks over to us and smiles.
"are you sure that this has nothing to do with the prince? I know that you were the father of queen Alex, and that you and Mr. Dante are currently still looking for her child." the man with the dark brown hair asks as he writes on his small notebook.
"although my nephew is missing, I am currently thinking about the safety of my current pack. yes I am participating in the process of looking for him but in my own way." he says as he looks at the ground "look my daughter would have wanted it like this. she would have hated to know that I left my pack behind to go and look for someone who doesn't want to be found."
"well this is all for now, I am sorry for taking your time." the man with the dark brown hair says as he shakes the old mans hand.
"no it's alright, it was a pleasure to meet you." says the old man as he smiles.
"who was that?" Scarlett asks me as she points at the old man. "he looks important."
"I don't know..." I say as I look at the two men for another second before turning to look at Cleos door.
'the party should have already started.'

The colors range from pinks to blues.
There's a couple of humans dancing and drinking. my guess is that they have no idea that they are pressing their bodies on a bunch of werewolves. I walk with Ben besides me through the large hall filled with sweaty males and females who smell of liquor and s*x.
"skye, this isn't right. we should get out of here and wait for Henry somewhere else." Ben says as he sounds annoyed by the music and the amount of people.
"fine." I say as I pull his wrist. "lets go over there" I signal to the backdoor of the house and he follows.
throughout the whole way there all I hear is gossip about us. people begin to wonder who we are and how come they have never seen us before.
"you were right." I hear Ben say once we are in the backyard.
"about what?" I ask him as I walk towards the garden without looking back at him.
"it wasnt a good idea to come here." he says as he looks at me with a worried expression.
I stop on my tracks as I turn to look at him with a serious expression "whats wrong?" I ask him as I move towards him "why do you feel nervous?"
he swallows hard as he looks at the ground and sighs "I don't know, I just feel overwhelmed?" he asks me.
"well I don't know why you are feeling like this." I state annoyed as I look at him sweat.
"I don't know, there's something here... well more than one thing. i'm getting this overwhelming feeling for some reason." he says as he begins to look around.
I look at his right shoulder and look at his scar. "it's not growing yet so it must be something else."
he smiles softly "it's got nothing to do with my scar."
"if you feel like this then that means that we can't stay here for long or else your wolf might want to come out from the amount of emotions you are making him feel." I say as I look at him and then rub my temples. "alright we have to find Henry and tell him."
before I'm able to move at all I get this twisted feeling in the pit of my stomach.
out of pure instinct Ben and I hide behind a bush of plants and we just listen to a couple of teens talk to each other in private. It sounds like two girls and two guys.
I look at Ben who also looks at me in pure shock.
'why are we hiding? it's not like we have done anything bad. Hell we just arrived.'
soon enough I realize that I can no longer hear any voices and I slowly get up. "they're gone." I whisper to myself.
"why did we just hide?" asks Ben as he looks at me confused.
I look down at him as he still sits on the ground and I offer him a hand. "I don't know, but unlike you I don't want to stay to find out." I say as I pull him up.
"I didn't say I wanted to stay." he says as he slowly looks at the door "there was something about one of those girls..." he pauses as he stares at where the group had been standing "her voice, it was so comforting."
"you should have told me sooner that you were going to say something stupid so that I didn't have to listen to you with all of my attention, I thought you were going to say something important." I say as I cross my arms. "come on, we have to find Henry."

Cleo talks to her special guest with excitement. To much of my surprise it's the same old man I saw earlier. I look around and try to entertain myself since I'm currently being bored to death with the current scenario in front of me.
suddenly a girl and an identical boy walk inside the house through the back door and everyone freezes, they must be twins.
these two teenagers have something about them that makes everyone gasp and lose their breath for a while.
everyone, including the Alpha who Cleo is talking to, stops and looks. His old and wrinkly face makes a shocked expression as he looks at the two teenagers intently.
"Alex?" he finally says and the siblings both look at him. the boy looks at him worried and the girl just stares at him with an empty expression. she looks at her brother "is he talking to me?"
the boy just looks at her nervously "I don't know, ask him."
she clicks her tongue as she looks at the old man again and says "are you talking to me?"
the old man looks at her and then at her brother and he begins to look nervous. "oh I'm sorry, I thought you looked similar to someone."
"it's fine" she says as she begins to walk away but stops before she can make a single step.
everyone just stares at her as they wonder what she is going to do next.
she walks over to Scarlett and looks at her up and down. she slowly takes in Scarlett's features and suddenly says "hi, I'm skye." she smiles as she holds her hand up.
Scarlett shakes her hand "h-hey... I'm scarlett."
the girl steps back a little and then she says "do you have a boyfriend?"
everyone stares at her shocked. "no" scarlett begins as she struggles to speak correctly. "but I have a fiancé."
the girl turns to look at her brother who is now looking at the ground. For some odd reason her eyes show no emotion but her body movement hint that she is nervous.
She turns to look at Scarlett as she smiles again and says "not for long."
she gets closer to Scarlett and hugs her tightly. "although you are human, I'm sure you'll be enough to satisfy his heart."
Everyone just stares at her as she walks away with her brother.
she turns to look at me and I can't help but straighten my back.
she chuckles once she sees my reaction and turns to leave.
'what the hell was that?'
