Chpater 404 But here we are. Two strangers because that what we are strangers sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee. This didn't feel like home, they may be family, but they weren't family.
It was going to take tand effort for us to ever get to being daughter and dad. But maybe one day we'll get there.
"We don't really talk anymore". I spoke. "Are you reading this on sobiẞ.o? If not, you've been misled! This content was lifted from our site. Head over to obiẞ. for genuine chapters, the latest updates, and exclusive releases." "Things got weird real fast. They changed, she changed. Within weeks of being here my life turned upside down".
"I had no idea". He frowned. "And I'm sorry things have been so tough for you. I bet finding out that you're a werewolf didn't help".
"About that how can I be a full blood when my mom was human?". I asked.
He thought I didn't notice but I did. His body stiffened; his eyebrows furrowed and suddenly he couldn't seem to lookin the eye.
"Are you sure you don't want something else to eat?". He asked. "I do a mean grilled cheese sandwich, or we could go out to eat?".
"If you know something about my mom then please tell me". I only knew what my gran told me. Of course, I was just a baby when my mom died so I couldn't remember anything.
Pictures were all I had.
"I don't know anything Leah. The moon goddess is a magical thing. Maybe you were meant to be full wolf". "You're joking right?".
"Jake will be here soon. You can wait in here or you can wait in the lounge. I have sbusiness I need to take care of".
Now I knew he was hiding something. Why would he hide anything about my mom from me? "I think I'll wait outside". I placed my cup on the table.
"Don't be ridiculous it's raining, and the temperature has dropped. You'll end up sick".
"Then tellthe truth, tellwhat you're hiding and why you're suddenly in a rush to leave". "It's not my story to tell Leah".
So, he was hiding something from me. I couldn't be bothered with anymore secrets. My life had been full of secrets and lies from the minute I got here. "Found this book interesting? If you're not on Jobb.o, you're missing the real experience. Someone's copied this content! Visit obib.o for authentic, up-to-date information directly from us." If he was another one that was going to fill my head with rubbish, then I wanted nothing to do with him.
I didn't have the tor energy for anymore bullshit.
Wasn't there anyone that could just be honest and open? Why was I always the last one to know the truth? "I've had enough". I sighed. "It's just secret after secret, lie and lie and I just can't be bothered with it anymore". I would wait outside whether it was raining or not.
"Wait". He sighed as I reached the front door.
"No, it's okay. You don't want to telland that's fine but I'm going to wait outside until Jake gets here". I wasn't going to guilt him into telling me. Like he said it wasn't his story to tell. "I'm not going to stop you from leaving but I am going to say this. Talk to your gran".
"Why would I need to talk to my gran?". I asked.
"Because Leah, it's her story to tell".
"What?".
A sigh fell from his lips as he ran a hand over his face. "Your mom wasn't human sweetheart. She too was a werewolf".
My breath caught in my throat.
What? No, she, my gran was human, my gramps was human.
"You're lying". I spoke. "I-... my gran-... she. I don't understand". My whole life had been a lie. Everything was a lie.
"My grans a werewolf?". I asked.
"No". He shook his head. "But your grandfather is".
WHAT? "Is?". My grandfather is dead. Well obviously, my gramps wasn't my gramps. "I have to go". My head felt like it was going to explode. I really knew nothing about my life, my family.
I had no idea who I was anymore.
I leaned against the front door once I closed it behind me. The cool air welcoming against my face, the rain battering off the ground. With my hand tightly wrapped around my phone I dialed his number bringing it to my ear. "Ready to tellwhat's going on?". He answered with.
"I-... Are you nearly here?". I whispered.
I didn't want him to know I was on the verge of tears. I chewed the inside of my cheek until I tasted my own blood.
"What's going on Leah? Please talk to me".
Did he know? Was he in on it like everyone else? Poor little Leah couldn't handle knowing the truth.
"You never toldyou've been here before". I spoke.
"Been where?". He asked.
"My dad's pack house".
"Yeah, when I was a kid, but I didn't know you back then. "Notice something off? You're reading stolen content! This article belongs to obniɓ.. To support the real creator and enjoy the latest from us, visit obnib. directly." My parents have been friends with him for years, but I had no idea who he was until I found you".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"So". I laughed. "You met my dad before I did".
"Leah what's this all about?".
"Nothing". I shook my head. "I'll see you when you get here". I ended the call and didn't wait around. Instead, I ventured off into the woods behind his house.
It was still light and what's the worst that could happen? Chpater 403 I wasn't expecting him not to answer so when his phone went straight to voicemail, I panicked a little. I needed him to answer. So,beingI tried repeatedly until he answered.
"What?". He yelled.
Instantly my heart clenched. I knew straight away he was going out of his mind with worry. Probably thinking the worst.
"Jake". I whispered.
"Leah, Leah is that you? Where are you baby? Are you safe?".
"I'm safe Jake I'm at my dad's".
"You left?".
The pain in his voice crushed my soul. I couldn't tell him how I got here because if I did it would start a war. Lana and Pete obviously hadn't said anything which was bad on their part. What if this hadn't of been my dad would they have kept quiet? "Baby, are you there?". He spoke.
"I'm here".
"What's going on Leah? Please talk to me".
"I didn't leave Jake I promise I didn't leave you, but I need you to cand pickup, but you can't ask questions".
"I don't understand Leah so please just tellwhat's going on".
I couldn't not tell him the truth. Regardless of the consequences of what might happen. But I couldn't do it over the phone. I couldn't take the chance of him losing it and letting his wolf take over. "If I text you the address, will you cand get me?". I asked.
"Leah, what the hell's going on?".
"I'll see you soon". I whispered before ending the call.
I felt the lump appear in the back of my throat as I sat on one of the armchairs. I wasn't sure how long I had been sitting there but when there was a knock on the door I shot to my feet. "Yeah?". I spoke.
The door opened my dad poking his head inside. "Did you manage to get a hold of Jake?". He asked.
I nodded. "Do you have my phone?" I had it when I left the house this morning but wasn't sure if I lost it in the forest.
I watched as he pulled it from his jacket pocket and passed it to me. "If you're not on obb. right now, this content has been scraped! For fresh updates, exclusive insights, and the real story, cvisit us directly at Jobb.o. We appreciate your loyalty!" It was off or maybe it was broken. I turned it on sighing when I noticed the cracked screen. Of course, because that's the type of luck I have.
"What's this address?". I asked.
"Is Jake coming for you?".
I nodded. "I haven't told him how I got here but I'm going to because he thinks I left him".
"I understand and I know I went about this all the wrong way, but I didn't do it out of spite. I'm sorry Leah and I'm sorry for the distress I caused. I should never have tried to push this on you".
"You could have reached out, sent a message, a simple phone call. It's not as if we haven't already met. Not even that you didn't need to drug me". I was still feeling the effects of what they gave me.
"It was a light sedative. It won't cause any harm".
"That's not really the point". I frowned. "Whose idea was it to do that?".
"Grace". He spoke. "I guess she thought you'd find it humorous".
I definitely did not.
"Can I please have the address, so he knows where to cto".
"Sure". He nodded. "It's 114 Thomas Avenue. If he's smart, he'll remember this house".
"He will?".
"Jake's been here many times. His parents too. We're old friends".
I already knew that, but I wasn't aware they were that close.
"Would you like something else to eat? You barely touched your sandwich. Or can I get you something to drink?".
"Coffee please". I opened a new message and sent him the address.
"I'll be right back, or you can cwith me?". He offered.
"Okay". I followed him from the dining room into the kitchen area. First thing I noticed was it was remarkably similar to Jake's parents. Soaring ceilings, all open space, big pawindows.
I walked straight towards the windows staring out into the open space. I had cto notice werewolves liked open ground. I mean why wouldn't they? A step out their back door to an open forest. Always having somewhere to run openly, freely. "When did you know that Jake and I were mates?". I asked.
"When an Alpha finds his mate it's a big deal but I'm sure you already knew that. News spreads fast and well you've met Charlotte. I saw the picture of you and Jake and then I saw you that day in the diner. You look exactly like your mom did at your age". "How long have you been in contact with my gran? Was it before we moved here? Did you know we were coming?". There had been so many secrets, so many lies I found it hard to trust what people told me.
"She reached out towhen you got here. She knew I lived a few hours out of town but I'm not the reason you moved. She gavethe green light when I told her I wanted to meet you".
She did? Way back when I wasn't allowed to mention his name. Growing up I always thought he was a bad man and that was the furthest thing from the truth. Maybe it was easier for her to makebelieve that he was no good in case I never got this chance.
Chpater 402 "Everyone's here". She smiled. "We've waited so long to finally meet you".
"And my dad is he here?". I asked.
She nodded. "He thought it best that I cand speak to you first. He did say you were your mother's daughter after all".
I didn't get what she meant by that but shrugged it off. I couldn't go down there and meet them all. I wasn't ready for that. Yes, I had waited a lifetto meet the other side of my family, but this wasn't the way.
I wouldn't be forced into it. And when the tcame, I wanted Jake to be here with me. He was my comfort, my safe space. Stop reading the wrong and incomplete storyline; has the correct and complete book. I didn't want to do this alone. I didn't want to be put into a situation I felt I couldn't get out of.
They may be my family by blood, but I didn't know them, and I was so far out of my comfort zone right now.
"I need to speak with him". I spoke.
"Sure". She smiled. "Do you want to cwith me?".
I shook my head no. "I'll wait here".
"Okay but I'm going to bring you back slunch. You must be starving". As she closed the door behind her I took a seat on the edge of the bed.
Jake must be going out of his mind wondering where I am or if someone has taken me. If I'm in trouble or worse hurt. I didn't like the feeling that rose in the pit of my stomach.
I hated being away from him. But maybe, just maybe if I concentrate on him and our bond, he'll be able to feeland know I'm okay. It worked before, right? I had to let him know I was okay and that I was safe.
I wouldn't like to think he was taking this well. To him I either ran off or I had been taken. It didn't take much for Jake to lose control so I can only imagine what he's going through right now.
The knock on the door hadon my feet. Was he waiting forto let him in? When the door opened, I swallowed the lump in my throat. He was holding a plate which I assumed was something to eat for me. "Eat please". As he walked further into the room I backed away. I watched as he placed the sandwich on the bed. "I hope turkey is okay".
My mind was blown. I couldn't think of what I wanted to say. He went about this all the wrong way.
"When can I go home?". I asked.
"Ah, being away from Jake isn't sitting well with your wolf I take it?".
I nodded. I was anxious, but I had good reason to be. It wasn't just because I was away from Jake. They kidnapped me.
"You're free to leave at any tLeah". He spoke.
"Why am I here?". I asked.
"I think it's twe sorted through a few things. You have a whole other family that you don't know and before you say anything yes, it's my fault but maybe it's twe bring everyone together".
I stopped myself from saying anything by chewing the inside of my cheek. Why now? They had already missed most of my life. We were strangers, he was a stranger.
"Why do you have a picture of my mom in here?". I nodded towards the photo.
He smiled. "Because she's the love of my life. What a woman she was, and you are like her in every way".
How could he know that? My stomach growled and I felt the heat spread across my cheeks. I hadn't eaten anything yet and I was starting to feel a little sick because of it.
"Eat the sandwich please".
So, I did. I took a seat on the edge of the bed and began to eat the sandwich. We had met before, had conversations before but I felt weird. This whole situation was weird. "Why didn't you just call me?". I asked. "And why did you involve my friends?".
"Can I sit?". He asked..
I nodded.
"I may not be in your life Leah but don't think for a second that I haven't been watching over you". "You can't seriously think how you've went about this is okay. You tookfrom my hand broughtto god knows where. I want to call Jake". I got to my feet sandwich forgotten about. "I want to go home". "Okay". He nodded. "Just calm down you're safe here".
It wasn't about being safe. I couldn't wrap my head around this. They wanted to get to know me, wantedto be in their lives. Fine, maybe we could work towards that, but it would be on my terms. "Cdownstairs and use the phone". He spoke. "When you call Jake tell him we mean no harm".
I think it was too late for that.
I followed him down the stairs and into the sitting room. No one was around which was odd because I thought everyone wanted to meet me? "I sent them away; told them you weren't ready". He spoke. "You can use the phone I'll give you sprivacy".
"Why now?". I asked.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe took a seat in one of the armchairs while I still stood by the door. "We were meant to raise you, your mom and me. The night I lost her is the night I lost myself". I swallowed the lump that appeared in my throat. Still to this day I struggled to talk about my mom.
"I wasn't fit to look after a baby heck I could barely look after myself. I tried, I tried to be a good dad, but I couldn't En do it. So made the decision to let you go with your gran. To this day my mom still hasn't forgiven me". "So, you letgo and never looked back". "No". He frowned. "I spiraled out of control, lost everything, cut off all contact with everyone but never did I forget about you. By the tI sorted myself out it was too late".
"It was never too late, but just so you know I had a great childhood, I had a good life. My gran raisedright.
She madeinto the strong independent woman I am today". "I have no doubts". He smiled. "She's one hell of a woman".
We had our differences, but I would never bad mouth her. She may have made a few mistakes along the way, but she did right bygrowing up. She was the only one I had.
"I have to call home". I spoke. "Jake will be worried".
"Right". He got to his feet. "I'm sorry Leah I should have gone about this a different way. If you want nothing to do with me, with us then I'll respect your decision".
I felt the lump appear in my throat. I wanted to know him, I wanted to get to know my family, but it was going to take tespecially after this. As soon as the door closed, I grabbed the phone dialing Jake's number. He was not going to believe this.
Chpater 401 When I woke, I was drowsy. My head hurt and my mouth was dry. Sitting up I blinked a few times before realisation kicked in. I had been taken; someone had grabbedin the woods. Lana, she was there. She did this, she helped them take me.
I jumped from the bed looking around myself. I wasn't tied up; my hands weren't bound. I didn't understand what was going on. I ran my fingers over my arm, I remember the pain I felt. Was I drugged? I glanced around the room smore my eyes landing on a photo that was sitting on the bedside drawers. I swallowed the lump in my throat. It was a picture of my mom. Where the hell was I? I jumped when there was a knock on the door before a girl around my age maybe younger poked her head inside". "Hi". She smiled.
"Hi". I frowned.
"Don't look so scared Leah we're not going to hurt you". As she walked further into the room I took a few steps back.
I didn't know this girl therefore my guard was up. They took me, they tookfrom my home, my family. They tookfrom Jake.
Oh god Jake. He would be going out of his mind. Worried sick because I wasn't home. He didn't even know I had gone for a run. "Are you hungry?". She asked.
"Where am I?". I asked.
"In the pack house".
The pack house? Whose pack house? "Who are you?".
"I'm Grace your cousin".
My cousin? My heart was hammering in my chest. I had more cousins? It was one thing after another, and it just kept coming.
"Why was I kidnapped?". I asked.
A laugh fell from her lips. "You weren't kidnapped Leah. Your dad didn't think you'd have con your own, so we improvised. Sorry if we scared you".
"You placed a sack over my head and drugged me". I frowned. "What would you call it?".
"Fair enough". She sighed. "But we mean no harm".
"And Pete what did you do to Pete?". Lana was pulled into this. They forced her to help.
"He's fine". She shrugged. "Lana did her part".
"I have to go home. Jake will be wondering where I am". Enjoy this chapter for free and stay updated ΠΟ with the latest version on net. Don't miss out vie visit it now. This was my father's doing. He did this because he thought I wouldn't chere? I planned to visit, and he shutdown, cut contact and I haven't heard from him since. ""Do you want slunch?". She asked.
"If you mean no harm you'll let me, go home". I spoke.
"Okay". She nodded. "But you have to go out the way you cin. We're a little paranoid about letting people know our location".
What? I made a face. "You're kidding right?".
"Course". She winked. "If you want to leave then you're free to do so but if you want to get to know your family then stay a little longer. You're safe here I promise".
Family? I didn't have any family. My mom was dead, my dad abandonedand well the only family I had left got rid oftoo.
Jake was my family, and I'd like to get back to him.
"No, I'd like to leave please". If this was his attempt at a family reunion it sucked. How he thought I would be okay with this is beyond me.
"Fair enough". She shrugged. "I'll have someone drive you home".
""No, I can walk".
"It's a 2-hour drive". She spoke.
2 hours? How long had I been unconscious? And what was it they druggedwith? As if she sensed my panic, she took a step closer to me.
"We're not here to hurt you or do anything to you. We're family and I would really like it if you stayed". She was crazy if she thought I was staying here just because she asked. This whole situation was mad. I mean my dad could have reached out, sent a message, a phone call. He didn't need to kidnapand takeagainst my will. "This is crazy". I whispered. "Would you have chere if he asked?". She asked.
"He cutoff. I was willing to visit, and he put it off so that's on him but this, this is crazy. He took an Alpha's mate, kidnapped an Alpha's mate. Do you really think there isn't going to be consequences?". "We're not worried about Jake". She shrugged. "Now please cdown and have slunch. Grans super excited to meet you".
Hold the bus, what? They were here? "They're here?". I frowned.
