One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf novel Chapter 11

Hailey's POV

I ran after her but I wasn't fast enough. The time I took thinking she could be the one behind the death of my parents, gave her enough time to leave and I may never see her again.

"You okay?" Brett asks me as I walk in to the kitchen. I look up at him and around the kitchen.

"Where's Jaxon?" I ask as I feel the panic begin to build up in my body from not seeing him. I sit on the bar stool as I start to feel dizzy, sadness overtaking me and shocking my system. With Jaxon here, I don't feel, it's as if he drains me of all feelings and I remain calm but now, now I have to feel. My body is forcing me to feel and I can't, I just can't.

"Jaxon?" I call out in panic. Brett runs around the Island to stand next to me.

"He ran after Stacy. He's on his way back." Brett tells me but that doesn't help and I try to stand to run after him. Now I don't even take two steps before my legs give out but Brett is quick with his hands and he catches me.

"You want Jaxon? Fine." He says before helping me up and allowing me to hold on to him as we walk out the door.

Jaxon was standing on the driveway, talking to a man that was standing next to Stacy. They all turn to look at me and I hold on tighter to Brett.

This man looked exactly like my father and I know my dad does not have siblings. A rush of anger takes over, every other feeling taking the back seat as I stomp my way towards my dad. He was my father, the man was not dead.

"What is this? You faked your own death?" I ask out loud.

"No idiot! This is Theo!" Stacy shouts out and I chuckle at her dumbness.

"No you idiot. This is dad and what you are both doing is wrong! I almost cried for you! I'm trying so hard not to cry, so so hard not to break down and yet here you are being the shitty dad I know you are. Well done! Job well done on being so insanely petty and criminal!" I say in anger.

"Young lady, I am not your father. I am his twin brother but we were separated at birth." Dad says.

"Wow! So you still want to play dead huh? Okay I'll humor you then. Who are you then?" I ask, folding my arms and tapping my foot as I wait for an answer.

"I'm Theo." He says so calmly. I step back from them but Jaxon holds my hand.

"You hurt my aunt." I say, making him chuckle.
