Chapter 2 Two

TWENTY-ONE YEARS LATER

Alma wiped her tears away quickly as she heard footsteps approaching. It would probably be one of her family members and she didn't want any of them to see that she had been crying. It'll only make them worried.

"Alma?" She heard Paisley's voice and she turned quickly with a fake smile.

"Are you okay?" Paisley asked with concern and furrowed brows.

"Of course, I am," I said quickly hoping she wouldn't notice the catch in my voice or smell the tears but nothing ever passed her.

"Have you been crying"

"No," I said quickly but her eyes told me she didn't believe me.

"What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong"

"You're being paranoid Paisley. Nothing is wrong and that's the truth"

"If you don't tell me the truth I'm calling the others" she opened her mouth to yell but I stopped her instantly. Paisley wasn't bluffing and I didn't want her calling the others. It'll only blow things out of proportion since they were overly protective of me.

Being the last child of the family and the huge age difference between us, they liked to coddle me and treat me like a baby. It was cute sometimes and other times, it made me want to pull my hair in frustration.

"Fine. I'll tell you"

"Go on then," she said after a few minutes passed and I didn't say a word to her.

"It's Liv"

"What did that bitch do this time," Paisley asked angrily. Everyone knew Liv. She was a thorn in my flesh. My sisters always wanted to take care of her but I never let them. I didn't want them fighting my battles for me. It'll only prove that Liv was right. That I was weak and couldn't defend myself.

"The normal thing. About me being different"

"I should really bash her face. That fucking bitch. Don't listen to anything she has to say"

"But she's right. I'm different. Why?" I still couldn't understand it after so many years.

My family belonged to a werewolf pack. They were werewolves. Everyone around me was a werewolf except for a few who were witches and healers. But even then, they belonged somewhere. I wasn't a wolf or a witch or a healer. I was just an ordinary person.

It really upset and hurt me. I wanted to be more like my family. To be able to shift into my wolf and go for pack runs.

"You're not different. Maybe a late bloomer" she muttered the last part.

That excuse was old. I was twenty-one already but I had no sign of a wolf.

"You know it's not it. Why am I like this?"

"There's nothing wrong with you" I scoffed and she sighed.

"Even if you're different from us, it doesn't matter. We love you like that. And remember sometimes being different is good"

"Not in this case"

"Don't listen to jealous outsiders. We love and accept you however you are and that should be what matters most"

"She also mentioned my bond with Tomas. What if?" I was scared to complete the question.

"What is it, Alma?"

"What if he really isn't my mate?" I cried.

"Come on. Did that bitch say this too? Tomas is your mate. How can you even doubt that?"

"I can't feel the bond. Not like him or any other wolf"

"But you feel his genuine love?" I hesitated and then I nodded.

"Yes"

"Exactly. You know what you feel here" she pointed to my heart.

"That's what is important to you. Not what any jealous bitch has to say. Never doubt Tomas's love for you or ours either. Mama and papa will be upset if they find out you cried over this issue again"

"Don't tell them" I said quickly. I didn't want them to worry about me.

"I won't. As long as you promise not to cry again"

I nodded quickly. "I won't"

"Good. Take a shower and get ready for your date" she kissed my head and left the room.

I had a quick shower and changed into new clothes. My whole family was gathered downstairs and I was bombarded with kisses the moment they spotted me.

If it wasn't a usual normal occurrence, I would have concluded that Paisley told them of what happened and this was their way of reassuring me that they love me.

I couldn't stay long with them because Tomas appeared at the door and I had to go with him. We liked our hands together as we walked through the pack.

"Have you told them of the mating ceremony?"

"No. I've not had a chance to. But I'll do it today" he nodded.

"I can't wait to complete the bond with you" he cupped my chin and kissed me chastely.

"I can't wait for that too"

We arrived at the private place where the picnic was going to happen. A thin blanket had been laid on the ground with covered dishes that were certainly prepared by Tomas.

We had just taken our positions and reached for the food when we heard a howl. Tomas immediately went still.

The howl was heard again and multiple howls followed after.

"What's going on?"

"Walk down to the river and stay there. Don't leave until I come for you" he instructed.

I wanted to ask another question but he was already leaving. I couldn't shake off the fear and worry as I hurried to the river. It would help to hide my scent in case of any danger.

But my family, and Tomas. I hope they were safe. I stayed by the river until a long time passed and I couldn't wait anymore. I passed through the path we had come through earlier, trying hard not to make any sound as I walked.

I couldn't hear any sound as I walked in the direction of my home. My fear doubled. Where was everyone? Did something happen?

I continued to walk further, unconscious of my environment when someone came from behind, clamping their hand over my mouth and dragging me behind the trees.

I struggled against the stranger.

"Calm down. It's me" the voice was strangely familiar but I couldn't remember who owned the voice.

"Don't scream. Or you'll attract them" attract who?

"Promise?" I nodded quickly, eager to be free from his hold.

He instantly let me go and I spun to face him.

"Danny?"
