The Alpha's Darkest Secret; His Daughter

I'm Really Sorry

I locked the front door and entered my thumbprint to lock and arm the security system. The pack new the codes to at least unlock the door but my thumb print and my Dad’s activated the entire army of security functions on the house. I sighed and looked up towards the bannister of the second floor which divided the two stair cases. I knew I would have to go up and face Rafa, then my Father as well, then eventually the entire pack. I took and deep breath and slowly went up the right black marble stair case holding onto the railing so I wouldn’t fall from my shaky legs the nerves were giving me. Going towards my room I placed my thumb on the sensor above the door knob and twisted it open. Rafa was standing to the side, looking up towards the collage I had, holding the picture of us at Universal Studios. We were both beaming in that picture with my arms around his waist and his arm around my shoulders bringing me into the hug. It was the closest picture I have to us looking like a real couple; yes, I know we weren’t actually one. I loved it though, pretending I meant something to someone…anyone.

“I guess the trip back there for your birthday is cancelled.”, I said jokingly still leaning on the door.

He put the picture back in its place on the board and turned to look at me.

“Can the other people here hear us?”, he questioned.

“No, not when the doors are closed. Even so they are in my dad’s study downstairs so...”, I let the words drift off

He nodded and then walked over to me embracing me with his good arm. It took me by surprise, that he would even look at me let alone touch me at this point.

“Don’t get too happy. I haven’t forgiven you yet, but I owe you one. You saved a lot of people, I’m guessing, tonight. You also helped me.”, he let go of me and walked over the couch. “Now, we are going to talk.”, he said in all seriousness waving his hand to the bed for me sit. I walked over and sat facing him sitting in the middle of the bed with my legs crossed.

“Alright, go ahead and ask.”, I said with some confidence in my voice. I could do this.

“Were you a werewolf when we first met”?

“Yea, I was born a wolf. So, my whole life I’ve been this way.”, I said smiling. I loved being a Wolf.

“Have you used any... powers... on me?”, he asked shyly

I laughed, “No bae, only the fact that I know when you lie.”, I said winking

His head shot up, “You can do that?”

“I can smell you.”, I said pointed to my nose. “Everyone has a specific scent when they lie. The body can’t hide it, but some of the older wolves can do a good job of changing words around etc so that it’s not really a lie”.

“So, you knew when I lied about sleeping with Bri?”, he probed.

“Yes. Your eyes gave it away anyhow, but the smell of her on you and the lie you told me. to my face I may add, was also confirmation. Look, don’t apologize. We were just starting to know each other back then and you had no obligation to not sleep with anyone, you still dion’t. I wasn’t even showing interest in you.”, I said trying to be confident. But it did hurt when I found out, I stayed as a wolf for a week to let the anger out.

“But I hurt you. And I’ve apologized so many times Aurora but I’m going to keep apologizing because It was wrong of me.”, he looked tired and sad. Like what he said was more devastating than him being shot and me changing the reality he knew. I walked over to him and held out a hand. He looked at me with a questioning gaze.

“Come on.”, I urged him.

He took my hand but didn’t get up so I used my strength to pull him up.

“I told you, I’m strong.”, I said smirking

I took him to the bed and laid him down then went to the other side and sat facing him still crisscrossed.

“Listen, you’re my best friend. I love you. You know how I feel about you, and I know that you don’t reciprocate those feelings and that’s why I held my tongue. Not to mention it’s not just my secret, it’s an entire society’s secret.”, I said.

“Have you told any other of your boyfriends?”, he asked, and I was detecting a bit of jealousy.

“You mean the Ex’s that all broke my heart in the end? No, none of them. They never gave me what you gave me. They weren’t genuine, I knew that from the start but I was lonely so I went with it. As far as I’m concerned, they never existed. You gave me your friends, who became my closest friends. You gave me your family, your sisters who have gotten me out of the house more in the last 2 months than I have in my entire life. I get to go to someone’s house and relax and feel like I can just breathe and let everything go. Not to mention the bomb s*x, but that’s a completely different story.”, I said knowing it would get a reaction out of him.

“I guess I am that good, aren’t I?”, he said smirking at me. I punched his arm on the side where he got shot.

He winced in pain and went to hold his shoulder. I laughed, and moved closer to him.

“What are you doing?”, he asked, a little mad that I caused him pain.

“Helping out with that.”, I said pulling up and holding one hand to his shoulder and one hand to where the bullet came out.

“Just Breathe.”

I closed my eyes and focused on my own breathing and began feeling the radiating warmth that was growing on my palms. I could feel him stiffen under me and then relax when he starred to feel the warmth my hands gave off.

“What’s happening?” he asked as a small purple hue began to glow under my hand.

 “My mother was Fae. Most likely because of that I have the ability to heal. It works on humans a lot better than wolves, probably because it takes less energy but I’ve gotten kind of good at it. My Dad says it was my Mother’s last gift to me before she died.”, I said sadly.

“She died when you were born right?”

“Yea, a couple days after. Complications they said, I took too much out of her….”, I let it hang in the air.

“I know you blame yourself but don’t. Look at how amazing you are. You protected us, and you’re healing me. I’m still in shock yes, but I still know that you are amazing.”, he said looking into my eyes. I couldn’t help but smile.

“You’re all done!”

I hit him on his arm again and he flinched thinking it would hurt but it never did.

“p***y. Look.”, I laughed and began to undo the bandage that was on him. “See.”

He looked at his arm completely healed not even a scar. Nobody would know what happened tonight, even he went around yelling it there would be no proof. Partially that was also why I added the extra boost of healing, to make sure nobody would find out.

“Wow…thanks.”, amazed at what I did.

“Wait, why didn’t you just heal me when I was first shot?’ he questioned

“I’m not that powerful yet. This isn’t something I do too often. Plus, you deserve every ounce of pain, mhm.”, I said smirking.

“You should get some rest. I have to handle business with my Dad soon any ways.”, I said turning to get up from the bed.

“Wait!”, he grabbed my arm. “Can I ask one more question?”

“Sure?”

“Can I see you…?”, he said looking me up and down.

“You’re looking at me? You okay?”, I asked puzzled.

“No, I mean…you’re a werewolf. So, I want to see you…as a wolf.”, he said getting a bit embarrassed.

“Me as a wolf? I don’t know…I mean it’s been a long day already.”, I said unsure of how I felt about it. I didn’t want to scare him off.

“Why do you want to see me?”

“All this doesn’t seem real. But if I see you…like that… then it will really be real for me. You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”, he said all though I could sense he really was going to be upset with me if I didn’t. That’s just his bratty side coming out to play, I guess. I sighed deeply.

“Alright, just don’t be afraid.”

His head shot up; he was eager to see but I could also smell some fear. Fear and wolves aren’t the best combination but I was sure I could control myself. I got off of the best and walked in front of it to the space between it and the wall with the TV.

“Close your eyes.”

“I’ve already seen you naked.”

“I know, but that’s not why. Just close them okay and keep them closed until I come to you.”

He nodded and closed his eyes.

I took off the clothes I was wearing pretty quick and didn’t care about my bra or underwear. I felt my body shimmer and the usual needles prickling along my skin. Seeing other wolves change I know it’s not as calm and beautiful as mine was, but it also must have something to do with my lineage. I was different and I accepted that, I was always glad my pack accepted me as well. I was told the purple aura that was created when I healed, could be seen when I changed. As a wolf, I thought I was even more stunning. I was lean and my fur was pitch black. I had a white diamond in the middle of my forehead between my eyes, which always stayed a glowing amethyst. I walked over to the bed, my claws clacking on the white and black marble floor. I was taller than the bed standing at about 4’11 which was actually on the smaller side. Most wolves on all fours could stand at 5 to 5 ½ feet. I bent a bit to nuzzle his hands which were lying next to his sides. He jumped a bit making me flinch, but calmed down and went to feel for me again. He slowly opened his eyes and I saw shock in them, but they slowly changed to one of admiration.

“Wow…”, he said still in awe.

I tilted my head to decide trying to figure out if that was a good wow or bad. He must have seen the confusion because he then said, “I mean wow, you’re beautiful”.

I growled a bit, trying to stay quiet as I didn’t want anyone else to know I had shifted. I sat down on my hind legs next to the bed as he slid to turn to face me.

“Does it hurt to… change?”

I shook my head no. “Can you see differently? Like in black and white? Or even like thermal?”

I rolled my eyes the best I could and snorted.

“I’ll take that as a no.”

“Wow…this is really real.”, he said rubbing his head. I put my paws on his thighs and gave his cheek a juicy lick.

“Ugh, why?”, he said laughing pushing me away. I figured it had been enough time and his scent wasn’t helping at all. Under his cologne he smelled of cinnamon oddly. I loved it. I went to the front of the bed again to shift back. He followed me with his eyes and watched as I changed back to human. His facial expression was priceless, he had his jaw open and everything.

“I’m going to pretend that face is because you love to see me naked.”, I joked while putting on black sweat pants and a grey half-shirt that clung to me, hoody included. I combed my finger through my hair and put it to one side. I went to sit down on the bed again and rested my head on his shoulder.

“I’m really sorry I lied. You’re my family, You and the Guys. Without you I don’t think I would have anyone really. Nobody sticks around long enough”.

It was the truth. I was always the weird kid, the stand out. I tried to make friends with anyone who would say a word to me but it usually ended with them only pretending to tolerate me. As I got older the bullying was less but then I started too be used in other ways whether that be money, s*x, or all of the above. Sometimes I felt blessed I was good looking; I think that saved me some. I never had real friends, and when anyone would be rude to me or threaten me, I knew I could hurt them, even kill them. Yet, knowing you are able to do something but can’t always drove me crazy, especially with my temper. These guys and their families are the only ones I had besides my pack, and in reality, my pack was filled older wolves living in young bodies. Hence why we were one of the strongest, if not the strongest pack in North America. They kept me sane, and I owed them everything for that.

“I think we just need time to process everything. We will always be there for you.”, he said as he held me.

I wiggled out of his grasp, even though it felt so good to at least pretend for the moment, that he was truly mine.

“Listen, as much as I would love to have you for the night in here, many people in this house wouldn’t approve. Besides I have to still talk to my dad about everything which isn’t going to be fun. So, I’ll show you the guest room and you knock out alright.”, I said getting up and pulling him to his feet.

He simply nodded.

Man, did I just want to have my way with him right now. I was use to s*x fixing everything, but I knew this was not the place nor the time. Welp.
