Chapter 1: Secrets Arise
Unknown POV:
Hello my name is Olivia Summers, me and my brother, Oliver are fraternal twins. Oliver is a few seconds older and he never lets me forget it. In a few months we turn eighteen, we're both pretty excited. I'm reading this new book my mom bought me when someone knocked on my door disturbing my thoughts.
"Come in", I said knowing it was my parents and Oliver.
"Hey lil sis", Oliver said while running to me and pulling me into a bear hug.
"You're only a few seconds older, would you stop you're squishing me."
"Aww my bad lil sis, you know I love you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah", I said smiling
"Hey honey you got a minute to talk?" my mother asked me while sitting on the bed.
"Yeah sure whats up?"
"Well we all know you two have a birthday coming up and well your father and I have something we need to tell you both..." she glanced at my father who nodded before she continued. "...there is no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to say it", she paused once more glancing towards my father. " My sweet babies we're werewolves."
"Hahaha!!" I laughed so hard and looked at my brother who was also laughing, but my parents looked serious. "No you're joking, werewolves don't exist", I said a matter of factly.
"Let me show you how real they are", my mother said with a smile.
"How?" I asked very curiously.
"I have to shift, thats the only physical proof I can show you. Don't be scared, I won't hurt you."
"Okay" me and my brother said in unison.
I turned to my brother and grabbed his hand. When I looked back at my mother, it sounded like bones were breaking as her body was reconfigurating. The sounds were shocking but what shocked me most was that in less than 10 seconds the bones stopped cracking and in front of us stood a beautiful gray wolf with a blue tint to its fur. Beautiful baby blue eyes that shined so bright when the sun hit them. My jaw hit the floor. My mothers wolf form towered at least two or three feet above us.
"Wow", was all I could say at the moment.
"What will our wolves look like mom?" My brother asked while staring at our mother in aww.
"Oliver your mother can't talk to you right now while she's in wolf form, but I'd say you just have to wait sometimes our wolves look nothing like anyone elses." My father explained.
"When can we shift", I asked glancing towards my father and then back to my mother who was shifting back.
"On your eighteenth birthday sweetie" my mother said while standing completely naked.
"Ahhh mom, you're naked!" My brother yelled while throwing his hands over his face then plunging his head on the bed.
"Yes I am naked, when we shift we tear our clothes" my mom said while dad wrapped a blanket around her.
"Why didn't you ever tell us?" I asked my mom disappointed.
"Its a long story so gather around, keep all questions till the end, okay."
"Okay", me and my brother said in unison, again.
"I was born a werewolf in the Blue Mountain Pack. I was the Beta's daughter. Your father is human and I met him at a bar one night. I knew he was my mate and I knew my pack forbid their pack members to be with anything but a werewolf mate or not. I told my father about him and told him I understood if I needed to leave but I was going to be with my mate. My father wanted to change my mind but it was made up. So we went straight to the Alpha and told him everything. He asked if I was sure I wanted to leave and I said yes. He agreed to release me so I wasn't considered a rogue (which is someone who is basically an outcast). I moved in with your father and after my heat I became pregnant with you two."
"So is that why we only see grandpa on our birthdays? " I asked cautiously hoping the question wouldn't bother her.
"Yes baby, he only comes on your birthday because being a beta comes with responsibility." She seemed unbothered by the question
"Okay enough excitement for today dinner will be ready in fifteen minutes, wash up and head down stairs." My father chimed in.
"Yes get ready for dinner I have one more thing to tell you at the table." My mother sounded very excited.
My brother and parents left my room and I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and do something thinking. The hot water felt nice against my skin so I stayed there a few minutes before grabbing my soap. Strawberry scents are my favorite. While I washed myself off I imagined what it would be like to have a mate that loved me like my father loved my mother. I rinsed off the soap and got out of the shower wrapping my hair in one towel and wrapping another towel around my body.
I wouldn't say I'm a beautiful girl but I'm alright, I have long curly blonde hair that falls just an inch above my a**. I have baby blue eyes with a hint of grey in them. I'm roughly 5'4 in height, 120 pounds, and my calves are muscular from playing soccer for ten years. I don't have very big t******, but my a** is fat and no one not even me could deny it.
I got dressed and headed down stairs. We ate dinner in peace until mom remembered what she needed to tell us.
"Olivia pack a bag for a week you are going to stay with Mia for your birthday and Oliver you will need to pack a bag to stay at Matthews for a week."
"Why are we staying at our friends houses shouldn't we stay together?" I asked
"Most of the time yes but in this case its better to be with your friends your age to help you shift."
"Okay " me and my brother said in unison once more.
We finished dinner and went to pack our bags we were leaving first thing in the morning. I packed eight or nine shirts, three pairs of skinny jeans, three pairs of leggings, and three pairs of shorts since it was mid June. I also packed a couple of my undergarments and a dress just in case. I threw some shoes into my suitcase and set it all up against the wall. I crawled into bed and drifted off to a deep sleep in no time.
Oliver's POV:
After all the excitement from today I went upstairs still a little confused but even more excited to turn eighteen. I grabbed my suitcase, tossing in five t-shirts, three polo shirts, two pairs of black dress slacks, two pairs of jeans, and a couple pairs of khakis. I grabbed my extra pair of tennis shoes and a few pairs of underwear. After I finished packing I laid my suitcase up against the wall and crawled into bed. It didn't take long for darkness to consume me.
