Cronos POV
We get up from our slightly snuggling spots on the bed and head to the living room. We have a lot of explaining to do, especially with Mark and Sarah. When we get to the living room everyone looks up. All of them look confused except for Fletcher, in fact, he looks kind of defensive.
Like he needs to protect something.
“What in the hell happened back there? Why the hell was Alex calling you h-” That's when Fletcher cut her off.
“Stasia! Shut the f**k up! Let him tell Mark and Sarah on his own!” He shouts over Stasias last couple words.
“Woops, Cronos, you still need to tell us what's going on. What was that?” Stasia asks.
After what they said, Mark and Sarah just look more confused than before.
“Well first i would like to ask why you called us here?” Mark says.
“Well in Cronos’ room Alex damn near tackled Cronos to the ground while screaming mate and growling like a f*****g dog.” Stasia says dramatically.
“Ok… Follow up question, what in the hell is a mate?” Mark says.
“Well.. First I would like to tell you… I’m gay.” I say.
“Oh… I didn’t know that.. what does that have to do with this?” Mark says.
“That’s what the third thing is about, secondly…” Alex comes up to me and grabs my shoulder to support me. “I’m a cat shifter” I say.
“What?” Mark and Sarah say together.
“It’s like a werewolf, I can shift into a type of cat or big cat depending on my spot in the pride/pack” I explain.
“And what does THAT have to do with mates?” Stasia asks.
“Well, Alex is my mate. A mate is like a soulmate except we can tell by touch and looking into each other’s eyes, or even by our scent.” I explain. “I haven’t shifted yet but my feline and his wolf were able to recognize each other as mates. In order to complete the mating I have to wait till I shift them we mark and… do other stuff.” I say.
“How does the feline thing work then? Since you have OTHER PEOPLE LIVING IN YOUR HEAD?” Stasia asks.
“Well when he’s in control it feels different, when an alter is in control I just feel… disconnected. When my feline is in control like I'm not in control of what I say or do. I can still feel everything though. Like I’m watching a 4D movie.” I explained.
“Ok, now let’s back up a bit. You said Alex’s wolf?” Mark says.
“And that’s your cue to start talking.” I say to Alex.
“Well I’m a werewolf and the alpha of my pack, or the leader.” At those words I watch as Fletcher visibly stiffened.
“So basically your the same as Cronos but a wolf?” Stasia asked.
“Yeah, basically. Any questions?” Alex asks. And for the first time it looks like Fletcher finally has something to say.
“We’re you ever planning on telling us if Cronos hadn’t ended up being your mate?” He asks in a serious tone.
“I wasn’t.” Alex admits.
“You just weren’t gonna tell us?!!” Stasia yells.
“No, it’s too dangerous for you to know.” Alex explains.
“And it’s not dangerous for us to know now?!” Sarah yells.
“Well with what Stasia and Fletcher saw it would be more dangerous not to tell you. Plus, I’m not part of your family. Cronos is and now he’s involved too. If you did not know and anything came after you, like another pack, then you would be in more danger than if you did know.” Alex explains, yet again.
“So what are you gonna do now?” Mark asks.
“Well for now I’m gonna try to find my fathers pride and take over, I’ll go from there I guess.
