Chapter 6

(Mia's POV) "Why am I not happy that Leon said he would only treat me as his sister? Why do I feel sad?" I asked myself sadly as I sat on the black couch in the living room, waiting for my mother to return. The living room was painted white and featured a flat-screen television, a built-in aquarium, a beautiful home theater system, flower vases, and soft lighting to beautify the space. "It's because they are your mates. You need to calm down, Mia, and follow your heart. You cannot reject them; otherwise, you will be miserable," the gentle voice whispered back, sounding afraid that I would reject her, too. "Who are you?" I asked internally, trying to figure out who was speaking to me, unsure if the voice belonged to a human or a spirit. "I am Molly. Your wolf." "My wolf?" I asked, doubt laced in my tone. My body trembled at the realization that I was truly a werewolf, and that my mother had been right about my ability to shift between a werewolf and a human. "Yes," Molly replied, her voice soft as she purred in my head. "Do you want to shift with me? We can run around the woods with the others. Those triplets are ours, and they will be your mates once you turn eighteen," Molly said, her gentle voice leaving me speechless. "Mia," Mom called out as she returned with the photo album, gently descending the stairs holding the book in her hand. Mom was still dressed in her short white nightdress that left her thighs exposed, but she had put on a white long-sleeved jacket and tied it at the front. As she approached me on the couch, she said, "Here's the album I wanted to show you. This was me when I turned sixteen and met my wolf, Kalani, I was so excited that I could shift like the rest of our pack members. And this is your father when I turned eighteen and met him. We were studying at White Hills Academy then. Your father was very busy with his research even as a young man, but I loved him and thought he would stay. I am a white wolf, but he's brown. So I'm thinking you will have a white wolf, too, given that you resemble me. Here, have a look." Mom handed over the photo album and showed me pictures of herself, her older brother Blake, his wife Lana, and their two pups, Veronica and Godwin Jackson. "So, Mom, Veronica is a werewolf, too?" I asked, my eyes widening in shock as she showed me a picture of my cousins. "Yes. Veronica is a werewolf. She is seventeen years old, just like you. Hopefully, she will turn eighteen this year and find her mate," Mom said excitedly. "Mmm," I frowned, knowing that Veronica was one of the girls at academy who constantly threw themselves at the Triple L. "Mom, Veronica and I aren't close. She doesn't treat me like her cousin. She always acts superior and acts like she is better than me," I said, closing the album. Mom frowned and asked, "Do you want me to call Veronica tomorrow and speak with her so she gets along with you?" "No need, Mom. I have a good friend, Vivian Adams. But I'm afraid she might be a werewolf, too, even though she never told me anything about werewolves." "I assume she didn't want to scare you," Mom said softly. I nodded and replied calmly, "Maybe." "Thank you, Mom, for telling me about myself. But I still have a hard time believing that I am truly a werewolf," I said, just as my mother rose from the couch beside me, holding the photo album in her hand. "It's fine, Mia. Once my parents return, we can have a family gathering. They traveled to China for their anniversary vacation, and I do not know when they will be back. We will have a big family reunion, and maybe I will introduce you to all of them. I will call my mother and tell her about the wedding with Alpha David. I am sure they wouldn't miss it," Mom said about her parents, and I smiled. "Alright, Mom. It's late. Let me go to my room and sleep. Goodnight," I replied and followed my mother upstairs. She went into her room to join Alpha David, and I heard his deep voice speaking to someone on the phone inside. Sighing, I walked into my room, which was adjacent to my mother's. I shut the door and went to look at my reflection in the mirror. "Molly," I called my wolf's name as I gazed at myself in the wide glass. "Yeah. I am here. Do you want to shift to me?" Molly asked calmly. "No," I replied softly, watching my eyes glow in the mirror. "Did I just do that?" I gasped, and Molly replied, "Yeah." "What else can I do, like magic?" I asked Molly, my voice curious. "You can shift, talk to someone through a mindlink, and also heal faster," Molly said, and I found that fascinating. "Alright. Later, you can give me an update. Right now, I need to sleep and hope that I am not dreaming. Tomorrow is Saturday, so I won't be going to the academy." I was relieved as I went into my bathroom to relieve myself. Since I got back from school, I hadn't even had my evening bath. "How about Triple L? Are you going to reject them?" Molly asked me fearfully. "I do not know how to deal with them. How can I have three boyfriends? Besides, my mother is going to marry their father. I am sure Mom will not approve of them," I said, and Molly groaned. "Then do not support your mother's wedding," she said. "Well, I want my mother to be happy, and the only thing that can stop her wedding is if my father returns. If my father doesn't return, then there is no way for me to stop the wedding or get along with the triplets. They are bullies, too," I said, and Molly groaned again. "Can't you call your dad to return? Tell him that your mother is going to marry Alpha David. You will see your dad return immediately," Molly said, but I knew that was impossible.
