We all sat down in the living room of the meeting house in almost a circle. Leo introduced me to the rest of the people which were Stanley who is second in command of the pack, Riley i.e. Stanley's mate, Stella who is Leo's mate and Mathew. Abigail is Mathew's mate. Leo found his mate last Saturday morning when he went for a run. She was in Greycoast on a vacation but now is moving here to live with Leo. Well that was kind of fast. Way too fast actually. Caleb is sulking because he is the only one in the pack who didn't find his mate. I sat in the middle and told them everything from the beginning till the present. There was pin drop silence in the room. Asher spoke first,
"Now I know why I felt so familiar when we went to your place." He said thinking.
"So you are trying to say that you have met our wolves before." Leo said still confused out of his mind. This guy is too slow for an Alpha.
"Yes." I agreed.
"That is impossible. I don't believe this." He said a bit outraged. Well that was a much unexpected reaction.
"I can prove you wrong." I said smugly.
"How?" he asked narrowing his eyes at me.
"I know how everyone's wolves look like and I have seen only Asher's wolf form so far."
"I get where you are going." He said calculating the situation.
"Leo your wolf is honey brown in colour." I said simply.
"How do you know that?" he asked getting off of his chair.
"I told you everything but you don't believe me." I said irritated.
"I still don't believe you." He added stubbornly.
How stupid can you be? I might be overreacting though. I mean this whole thing sounds unbelievable. How should I make him believe? Should I tell him how everyone’s wolf looks like? Maybe that way he will believe that I am telling the truth.
"Sam's wolf is pitch black. All the others are a mixture of grey, white and black." I said patiently.
"She must have seen us shift sometime." Mathew shouted. Grumpy much.
"Yeah and you didn't feel or smell me while I was snooping on you. Isn't that impossible with your heightened senses?" I rolled my eyes at him. He got up and stood right in front of me, huffing loudly.
"Are you questioning my ability? I am only tolerating you because you healed my mate. That doesn't mean you can feed lies to us and I will stand down. You can be a witch for all we know." This guy is really pissing me off. He is even shaking with anger. He seems to be in a dire need of anger management sessions.
"Do you mind moving back a bit, your spit is flying on my face? I feel really sorry for whoever of my family is stuck with you." That sounded mean. Oops! But he started it. I mean I didn't do anything to him.
"Oh I will show you, how whoever is stuck with me will not feel bad after cutting you open." He snarled.
"ENOUGH", Leo ordered.
But it was already late. Mathew started shifting. We all went outside as the space was limited in the house and crowed with so many people. The guys stood in front of their mates and Caleb stood in front of Abigail. But why are they protecting his mate from him? He won't hurt her right. Holy shit!! Does those burn mark on her face has anything to do with Mathew? I will ask them later. Out came a wolf. He is none other than Logan. How did the calmest wolf of my family, got stuck with a ticking time bomb? He looked straight at me and growled. I can feel Asher getting tense.
"Back off Mathew and shift. We don't want a repeat of your anger episodes." Leo ordered but Mathew or Logan wouldn’t listen.
Will I be able to calm him down like Oliver? But for that I have to go near him. That seems nearly impossible right now. He growled again, louder this time. Did he just disobey his Alpha? How could he dare to do that? He will not insult my brother. I moved Asher to the side and stepped in the front.
"How dare you disobey your alpha?" I said, anger and dominance dripping from every single word," I did not expect this from you Logan. How could you let some arrogant person control your emotions?"
I was fuming by now. He wasn't like this before. I know he doesn't remember anything about the past but it's worth a try. Logan or Mathew whimpered. Does he remember anything? He shook his head and growled at me.
