My mom and led me into the house where me, Hazel, Jayden, Rose, Taylor, Marcus and Aaron all took a seat somewhere in thr living room.
"First of all how are you feeling right now, physically?" My mom asks me.
"A little sore but ill be fine." I reply Even though it felt like it felt like i had been hit by a bus, thrown off a cliff, and trampled over by a herd of stampeding elephants.
"Good, good." My mom said her hands nervously fidgeting in her hand as she tries to think of something to stall me.
"Mom, is there something you need to tell me." I ask trying to pry further. The room was silent as my mom opens and closes her mouth attempting to formulate a way of saying what she needs to but unfortunately she couldnt think of a way.
"Okay i guess I'll go first." Taylor says whule risingbto his feet. All eyes are on him as he sways nervously rocking back and forth on his feet. "So um me and you are werewolve hybrids. I am a demon werewolf hybrid." He says calmly.
I look in disbelief how did he already what he was and how on Earth am i just finding this out now?
"Its tradition." I hear a voice i look to my right to find the source of the voice and see Jayden staring at the wall as though it was the most interesting thing in the world. "Oh yeah, hey Jayden here i am half werewolf half ancient underworld god thing." He says natrually letting the words fall off his tongue with ease like he practiced it in a mirrior multiple times.
"Hey, Hazel here um, part werewolf and part something else i guess."
"What's up Rose and Marcus here. Sorceress and Sorcerer."
"Aaron, full werewolf."
"Alex, part demon, part werewolf."
"Michelle, full angel."
Everyone had said what they needed to say and the awkward silence was left to consume the people around me.
"What Jayden means is that in werewolf tradition unless you are being raiswd in a pack your parents or gaurdians are to not tell you untill either your first shift or your seventeenth birthday." My says moving her hands to gesture to all of us sitting.
"What's a pack?" I ask confused on what exactly she meant.
"Well a pack is usually a community of werewolves or shapeshifters who all live in relatively the same area. For instance we are in Pack Red Moon kept by Fredrick who is the alpha and Mary who is the Luna." My father states.
I shake my head up and down understanding partially what he said.
"Yeah, pretty simple stuff group of vampires equals a clan, group demons equals horde, group of angels equals flock, and a group of sorcerers or sorceresses is a Caravan or cult as said in the days of old." Taylor adds on
Marcus and Rose give a Taylor a sharp glare as he simply shrugs them off.
My mom nods her head comfirming what Jayden had said.
"Okay so what are lunas and stuff like that?" I ask curiously briefly remembering mentioning a luna and alpha.
"In almost all types of supernatrual groups there omega considered lowest of the pack and are usually kept as slaves, citizens the ordinary people of the coummunity, warriors usually trained by the beta of the pack and amongst the strongest of the group, beta is in charge of training warriors and takes over the pack when the alpha and luna arent around, the luna is usally a female choosen by the moon goddess to be mated to and alpha her job is to make sure that all pacl affairs are handled and to be an advisor to the alpha, and lastly but not least the alpha always a male and is apart of a choosen bloodline picked in the times of old alpha is the first born son of the luna and alpha and the job of the alpha is to handle outside affairs with other packs." My mom finishes i take bits and pieces of information putting it all together to simplify what she had said.
"Why wasnt i raised in a pack?"
"At a very young you started showing certain capabilities and we werent sure how that would effect you life in a pack community."
"Capabilities?"
"Well sometomes you would be floating ominously around the house, other times you move thing with you mind, one time you almost managed to make a sheild."
"How did Taylor know before me?" Taylor and mom look at me in shock in confusion.
"How did you find out?" Taylor asks.
"I am not completely stupid i know that if this was his first time hearing about this he would also have questions." I state satisfied with my observation.
"Well if you must know i shifted when i turned thirteen and they told me all about this stuff." Taylor says in a matter of fact tone.
My brain felt like it would implode and my heart feels it could shatter all this new information was making question my very existence and the existence of those around me i had known some of these people my whole life and they knew more me than me, myself knew about me and my stomach turn. If they kept this gigantic secret for years who's to say there isnt a even bigger secret somewhere else.
"Why now, why come back now?"
"Well since you father is the beta of this pack the alpha needed a little bit of extra help and we figured we might as well bring you and Taylor back before you shift."
"So your saying for o
17 years there has been no Beta of this pack?"
"Not exactly, we moved from here when you and taylor were five and most of those business trips that me and your dad had to go on were trips to the pack to make sure everything was running smoothly."
I nod my finally understanding all those times mom and dad would leave for weeks at a time.
"Look i appreciate you all you guys comikg and telling me this but i think i am going to call it a night." The thought of sleep maling me more anxious to get to my bed and i wasnt sure how more i could handle and i knew i could ask questions all night but for the sake of my sanity i decided sleeping was better.
"Your righg we'll pick this up tommorow Theresa if you have anymore questions yiu know where to find us." My mom and dad stand up and begin to walk up the stairs to their room.
My dad turns baxk and looks at Marcus, Rose, and Aaron. "You guys can either go home or stat here but you better hurry up and find a room because the i think we only have two more rooms left." My dad turns around and proceeds to walk up the stairs.
Marcus and Rose look at each other then at the stairs and in a split second they are both running for the stairs in a the race to get the last room.
I follow soon after them arriving at the top finding Marcus has gotten the room and Rose has to share a room Aarom which will prove to make a interesting morning.
I walk past them into my room as Rose pleads to Marcus for the room tellong about how she deserved the more than him and how Aaron and her would be in the same all night telling him about all the bad things that could as Aaron stands there nonchalantly as if they were not calling a rapist straight in front of him.
I go into my room and fall onto my bed letting a out a deep and heavy sigh.
I turn my head towards my closet feeling a familiar prescience.
"You its very rude to be in someone elses room without announcing yourself."
I see a pair of glowing orange eyes walk out of the shadows.
"Well where are my mannners?"
