Finding Her Truth.

“How will I hide this? If our family finds out”…..I was gasping for air, my heart hammering in my chest. Clover pacing back and forth only adding to my already growing headache. “let’s be real for a hot minute Nova, sure mum and dad will be upset but they will understand I know they will! They love us” Do they though? How do they explain to their beautiful kingdom that not only did their daughter completely bail on her engagement party to her fated moon goddess gifted perfect mate but also slept in the next day and missed the beginning of her very own crowning, not only that but her wolf scented out her what she thought was her fated mate, at a bar none the less! and now can’t remember him, not his name not what pack he is from and if it wasn’t for his lingering scent on her dress that too would have been forgotten. Did I mention the bomb shell that Clover dropped on me this morning? We are pregnant. It’s three thirty in the afternoon, lunch was well and truly over, I made the decision to walk around the neighbouring human city to…. If anything avoid the inevitable. Walking into the pack house I see no one…. I hear no one…all the omegas must have left the pack house, their lunch time duties well and truly over, this was my favourite part of the day, there was three hours between meal shifts the next roster was the night omegas but they wouldn’t start arriving until six tonight. The pack house was so cold and quiet. Where is everyone? Was no one looking for me? I fumbled for my phone checking every pocket of my crinkled outfit, a tee shirt with a band I’d never heard of before and a pair of jeans, whose shirt am I wearing…. Not the point Nova. Reaching into my back pocket I found my phone. Not a single missed call…. I need to shower and try to remember last night! I head straight to the sixth floor, my floor. The pack house has eight floors, the alpha and Lunas floor up on the tippy top eighth floor, the seventh floor, what was supposed to be my floor being next in line for the throne but now the floor has become My mothers quarters, and so it has been for the last 10 years. The fifth floor belonging to my what I guess you’d call step sister Leah. Not that I thought of her as such but so it is. The forth and third floors belonging to the beta and gamma and their respective families the second floor was divided into four offices. The ground floor was open to all pack members, the ground floor had everything a pack house needed a large commercial kitchen, a cinema, arcade and bowling ally giant dining area and many little nooks to sit and hang out. There are two other buildings attached to the side of the pack house, on the left on the ground floor the largest ballroom in the country, the top floor of that building? I don’t know, my father the Alpha king has banned all wolves from entering, it used to just be formal meeting rooms, maybe it still is but only Leah and her evil mother were granted access. The building to the right had our pack house rooms around 20 of them, dedicated to the older teen wolves who hadn’t found their mates yet or had no where else to go. Hitting the button on the elevator I wait anxiously for it to hit the ground floor, the last thing I need right now is to be seen in this state. The elevator opens and thankfully it’s empty I step inside pressing the button for the sixth floor… my floor. As the elevator hits each floor a comforting ding echos through my ears, I’m safe here. I reach my floor walking down the small hallway towards my door, I swipe my Watch across the code reader as the door bleeps and unlocks stepping in I’m surrounded by my fiancé scent his sweet woodsy scent fills the entrance to my apartment… has Dylan been here? Clover stirs “mmmmmh mate” clover hums as do I, not a moment sooner does clover jolt up with such force that I stumble. s**t! He can’t see us like this! What if he smells us! “Shower now Nova, this is not how he is to find out” clover all but whispers. “ clover im scared” I say as I hastily walk to my bathroom. “ all will be fine nova, I promise, Mates will understand” clover says calmly. “ MATES… clover what are you talking about!” I say. “ shower first” is all clover replies then blocks me out. My apartment is empty, but my mates scent is still strong, he has been her recently and all over the apartment by the smell of it… but there’s another scent, I can only just smell it over Dylan’s. I stop dead in my tracks, the smell of marshmallows is thick under his scent, sickly sweet and bound to rot you from the inside out, it’s Leah’s scent, why was she in my apartment? How the hell did she get in! Did Dylan let her in?! As I walk towards my bathroom I can smell faint leftover scents from more people…. My father king Leo and his pretend Luna Veronica, his beta Ray and rays daughter Bree, my best friend. Why had they all been in my apartment? Were they looking for me? “ no s**t Sherlock, they definitely didn’t come to borrow sugar from you, you don’t even eat sugar let alone have any here to lend” clovers sarcasm is thick “shower” she says and places that wall I hate so very much back up. I’m dripping, sitting on the end of my bed wrapped in a towel…. The last 24 hours still a fuzzy mess in my head…. I was supposed to meet a client from my fathers law firm for a drink on neutral ground to go over some last minute details before court on Monday, last night being a Friday night was of-course a busy night, Saturday afternoon now… as I’m piecing together my night clover makes an appearance, I need answers clover, why can’t I remember anything properly I mumble. “ Fine, Mr Watson, the client from last night owns the club. He’s a charming sweet man by the way” “get to the point clover I need quick answers we need to figure out our next moves we have to speak to Dylan….” “Fine, fine fine! Ugh I’m a story teller nova you know that! Last night mr watson was generous enough to open a paid tab for us, anything we wanted… being a supernatural we were offered the VIP menu, all with brewed beverages to give us what we couldn’t get from human alcohol, a good buzz. The meeting went well we found out Mr watson has a strong case and you we’re excited to be the one representing him during the trials so we decided we could let our hair down for a few hours but we couldn’t get too drunk it was 4 pm and our engagement party started at 7:30 we had plenty of time the pack border was literally two buildings away 5 minute walk at max. We definitely didn’t drink a lot two or three drinks I know for a fact but something wasn’t right I didn’t feel right I tried speaking with you but nothing I said was coming through to you, I tried for over an hour and once I was finally able to get though to you that’s when he walked through the door. everyone in the room visibly shuddered. His reputation wasn’t just hearsay, he was cold and ruthless and if you were in his way you wouldn’t be for long. He saw us before we saw him and he stalked us like prey as soon as our eyes met his demeanour completely flipped… there was a softness to him a longing.he had been searching for years for his mate, it was no secret it was said he caught her scent many many years ago and was unable to find her which only drove his wolf to become shut off and cruel. I heard his wolf howl nova, painful and beautiful he is our mate. We were so lost in the feeling of being one with him, we went to far nova. We was in town for business staying in one of the hotel rooms above mr watsons club. We followed him back… nova we are pregnant.” Clover all but completely broke down “ clover please tell me this is a joke! There’s no way I’m pregnant it’s only been a day besides it’s almost completely impossible. Dylan is our mate! We found out he was our mate on my 16th birthday the day I met you only minutes apart! It’s been almost two years, I feel the bond I know he is our mate, Dylan and I have slept together multiple times a day for the last twelve months and only just yesterday before the meeting with Mr Watson! If I’m pregnant, if WE are pregnant Dylan is the father…. He has to be” I say completely defeated. How did my whole life explode so quickly, almost everything was perfect and now…. How was I supposed to explain this. Clover is stirring “ my beautiful other half I know how hard this is right now but this is what the moon goddess had blessed us with there are things you don’t know yet and you will know them in due time. We are strong, very strong and in just one day on your 18th birthday when we shift for the first time you will come to know everything but right now, we need rest. ” clover says strongly almost shocking me…. I lay back in my bed with my eyes closed wishing for sleep to take over. No one in the pack knows I have my wolf yet, I knew it was strange but clover told me no one could know yet… Dylan knows he all but hunted us down once he scented us and hasn’t left since. his family were meeting with my father the Northern king to organise Dylan’s alpha ceremony. He had just turned 18 the day before my 16th birthday, he had just met his wolf blaze we were walking to the pack house from visiting mother at the hospital, I had woken up that morning and there clover was rolling around playfully. This was unheard of this was far to young to receive your wolf not even Alphas got their wolves at 16 maybe 17 if they were LUCKY
