Bound to My Human Mates...Book 6 Of The Silver Moon Shifter Series

*Flashback to right before Brent 1st called Altan for help*

"Mama!" I cried out when I saw her falling to the floor, eyes rolling to the back of her head, her body shaking as she fell. I ran around the kitchen island and tried to pick her up but she wouldn't stop shaking, like shaking so hard her body was bending in ways it shouldn't bend. 

Daddy is at work, Zane is at an after school practice and I just got home from school and was making a snack, talking to mama about our days when she started to have an episode of whatever is going on. I got my phone and called 911, explained to them what was happening and the next thing I know, my house is filled with first responders helping mama and trying to get me to calm down. 

All I could see when I closed my eyes was mama, laying there and me feeling helpless. Daddy was on his way to the hospital so he's not here to help calm me down and Leo is getting close to losing it, not at any specific person, just because mama is hurting and we have no idea what to do for her. 

Minutes felt like hours and the next thing I know, I'm in the ambulance with mama on the way to the hospital. The EMT's keep asking questions that I can't even begin to answer because I'm in shock and my brain isn't functioning right. I felt like a zombie on auto pilot just going through the motions. 

We arrived at the hospital and they took mama into the emergency room and I had to wait outside of the room but I didn't move, I watched them as they worked on her. A little while later daddy came running in and engulfed me in his arms and that's when I finally lost it, I sobbed into his shoulder and he held me tight. 

"Shh it's ok, it's ok." He kept saying but he doesn't know that, he didn't see her, he is just as clueless as I am with what's going on.

"Did...did you...you hear any...anything yet?" I asked in between sniffles and sobs.

"Just that she is having tests done. They said she had a seizure but they don't know what caused it since she doesn't have a history of them. She's in good hands and I also called Altan, he's on his way." Daddy said and a few minutes later we were in mama's room, with papa. Daddy was begging him to help her and one look at me, he had us sleep.

I don't know what he did as we slept but when we woke up, mama was awake and looked more alert and healthy. Papa said she was going to be fine so the next day we took her home. 

Papa said she was fine, sure she was. She was perfect for another year and then, she took a turn for the worst. 

It was the middle of the night, we were all sleeping, the house was warm, no sound could be heard but the sound of daddy screaming woke Zane and I. We ran to their room and saw daddy holding a lifeless mama in his arms, tears soaking his cheeks and I couldn't hear mama's heartbeat, she was gone. Just like that, no warning whatsoever. 

The following days were a blur. I know we planned her funeral, invited papa because he was going to do something for mama's soul but he didn't show up. He didn't show up for about two months after. 

He begged daddy to understand and me but I couldn't and wouldn't understand why he didn't do something so important for us when we needed him. That day when he came was the last time I saw him, it being my choice. He has come to visit but I didn't want anything to do with him and daddy well, daddy was just being polite, except that day papa came to the house. Daddy ripped him a new asshole and even knocked papa on his ass. After that he tolerates papa being around.  

*end Flashback*

I went in secret to the packhouse a couple of times when Amilia was going through her surgeries and met her mate, Mikael. I didn't know he put her through hell until she told me one day, after I hung out with him.

Now that son of a bitch had a beat down coming and I gave it to him. Ever since then, he's changed into a better person I think. I have no idea how him and Amilia are, I just know he and I are friends and he comes to visit me at my house a few times a month but we don't talk about things back in Oregon, we talk about other shit and I found out we have a lot in common and he's actually a lot like me so we get along well. 

Garrett on the other hand, I hadn't had the opportunity to talk with him much but I heard he's a nice guy and in line to be the next head warrior so he's doing well I suppose. I just hope those three work things out and are better toward one another than the past couple of generations of mate's in the family. 

I hope whoever my mate is, if I have one and if and when I meet my mate that things go well and there isn't any bullshit but knowing my luck, there will be something bound to happen. Wherever this goes, I'll handle it to the best of my ability, with support from daddy because I know he will be there for me, as he always is. He's the greatest dad in the world.

Now Zane, my goodness I love that boy. He's so kind and gentle, generous, and has a heart just like mama. He is her mini me. I miss him a lot, I know he's bettering himself with an amazing education but it sucks he's not home much these days. At least the boarding school is in the same state, just a few hours away so we can see him on weekends he is free and of course for holidays. 

I love having a little brother, it's the greatest blessing there is. We have never fought and you would think we would since he's five years younger than me but we don't. When mama died, he just like me lost a big part of himself and he shut down, he didn't want anything to do with anyone. He went back to school the day after her funeral and I know he's taking it hard, he just isn't showing it to anyone. I'll have to plan something for us to do soon. 

"So, have you thought more about your options?" Daddy asked as he handed me a glass of water and sat beside me on the porch patio couch.

"For now I think I'm just going to stay who and how I am. The doc said I didn't have to have a surgery or whatever, so for now I just want to embrace this. It's part of who I am and that to me is special, I like who I am." I said and he smiled softly. 

"I absolutely love and adore who you are. I'm happy you said that because son, you are perfect just the way you are." He held my hand and sighed, looking out at the busy street. 

"Thanks daddy, you are too. You want to go listen to the band that's playing on the corner?"

"Yea, we'll grab dinner there also." He said so we went inside and I went up to my room. It's basic with a queen size bed, gray carpet, blue walls with silver trim, dresser, end table, closet and I have my own bathroom. 

I went to my closet and got a pair of light blue ripped skinny jeans, a yellow flannel, bright orange t-shirt and my rainbow Tom's. I took a quick shower and once I was done, I got dressed, fixed my hair, put on my charm necklace mama got me before she died. It's a tiger and my name is engraved on the back. I don't wear it everyday because I don't want anything to happen to it. 

As I was walking down the stairs, the doorbell rang so I went to answer the door and to my surprise, Altan and the twins were standing there.

"What the hell do you want?" I growled out and Altan sighed, looking at the twins and to me. 

"I need your dad." I invited them in and called daddy down to see what's going on.

"Altan, what are you doing here?" 

"I left Gary and Joseph." He said, shocking the shit out of both of us with the way we gasped loudly. 

Well this just got interesting.
