"Alex?" I say breathing a sigh of relief. They all turn to look over at me but what got me were the three pairs of golden eyes looking back at me.
"Alex you are a werewolf!!?" I say astonished, eyes wide in disbelief "what the fuck!" I utter in shock.
I stood there with my mouth agape staring at Alex, he is looking back at me, none of us saying anything to the other.
"You are a werewolf, Alex? You lied to me all my life?" I say hurt and shock are the two most prominent emotions that I feel.
The man that has looked out for me all these years, who I called friend and brother, has held a huge part of himself hidden from me. To say that I am hurt is an understatement, I am crushed that he didn't regard me enough to tell me.
I have known Noah for not even a fraction of the time that I have known Alex, yet Noah never hid himself from me.
Alex steps toward me and I back away from him then Noah steps between us. Alex and Noah are nosed to nose and seething at each other.
"This doesn't concern you, back the fuck up" Alex says.
"Make me, fucker! everything about her concerns me" Noah responds.
"Taylor who is this asshole?" Alex says as he looks at Noah then at me.
"Listen motherfucker, if you want to get to her try going through this brick wall first. Let's see how well you do with this task, then you can have a go, but you will need an army. Save yourself the embarrassment and get the fuck out of here. I don't like to talk twice" Noah's voice got deep and raspy signaling that Killian is now at the surface.
They both are seething and steering staring each other down non backing down from the other. I shake my head, roll my eyes and walk pass them, when I reach the door, I say "when you guys are done with the big dick contest you can both come inside. Eli can you please get the kids from the car and take them inside? Thanks".
Eli stays and observe Alex and Noah before he leaves. Once he is satisfied that there would no blood matches, he went for the kids.
The kids are frightened, they are both crying and the sight breaks my heart to see them like this. I hugged them and tried to comfort them while all three men sat and watched us. Alex has a look of concern, Eli worry, and Noah Rage!
I gave Tom his bath and got him into bed and assured him that everything was fine and that we are safe. After he started to doze off, I turned off the light at his bed side.
Abby was a little longer than usual in the shower, so I went to check on her. She was curled up in the bath, bawling, I rush over to her and start brushing her hair reassuring and comforting.
"Abby, oh baby, I am so sorry, please don't cry. It's my fault for panicking, we weren't in any danger. I guess we're all a little on hedge, but we are safe, I promise. Do you want to talk?" I say, she shakes her head then hugs me tight.
After some passage of time, she stops crying, I help her get dressed for bed and I stay with her until she falls asleep.
When I get back inside the sitting room the three pairs of eyes turn to me, and I wonder who I should talk to first. I owe Noah an explanation, I know that, however Alex being a werewolf was just something that needs immediate attention.
This is the man I grew up with, he looked out for me all my life. The one I had my first crush on, fell in love if I'm being honest. I don't know how he kept this from me for so long and it hurts me deeply.
That night in Chicago, his eyes really did turn golden, I wasn't going crazy, and I wasn't mistaken. We had history, and he kept this from me, what else is he not telling me? Is he really FBI? Do wolves work in law enforcement?
I walk over to Noah, and he stands up from his seat, looking into my eyes.
"Noah, I will explain everything to you in the morning but right now I needed to talk to my friend"
He looks at me like I was insane and says "that's all I get, Taylor? you will talk to me tomorrow? Taylor, has anything that I have been telling you all this time registered inside your brain?" Noah is mad I don't like mad Noah.
"Noah, please, my life didn't just start a few days ago when you met me! It hasn't been as stress free and privileged as yours has been, ok? There are things about me that you don't know." I say to him, irritably. No matter how I feel about him we just met I have known Alex my entire life.
"So, tell me Taylor I'm standing in front of you, there's nothing you can tell that will change how I feel about you, nothing" Noah says staring into my eyes. The anger, and pain in his eyes is obvious, I hate it, but I don't know if I can tell him, not yet.
He's hurt by my decision, and I want to breakdown all the walls around me and tell him everything. Here is this man that loves me, and I don't know how to love him back, pure organic and effortlessly just as he does me.
"I will, Noah, trust me, please, just please give me a chance to process everything and we will talk about everything. Tomorrow we will go for a nice dinner Eli can watch the kids". Then I turn to Eli and say, "you will, won't you, watch them, Eli?" he nods, and I didn't realize I was crying.
"Taylor, what is going on baby, are you in trouble?" Noah asks, his face no longer angry, worry has replaced that emotion.
"We will talk, I will tell you everything, I promise, but you have to promise whatever I tell you stays between us, ok?"
He looks at me and nods his head and I reach up then kiss him passionately not caring that Alex and Eli are in the room. I don't care anymore I want this man and I am going to have him; I deserve him. Even if it doesn't last forever who cares nothing really last anyway all I know is that my body, my heart, and my soul wants him.
Noah doesn't want to leave, he made me promise to call him before I went to bed so that he knows I am ok. I promise him that I will, then walk with him to the door.
Before he leaves, he warns Alex. "I will hunt you down and kill you slowly all while enjoying it, if you hurt a strand of hair on her head"
Alex responds, "I will come find you and offer my head on a platter, if I do."
Noah nods then he holds me close, so tight that I could feel every tense muscle in his body. After he leaves, I close the door then I turn to Alex, stark mad.
"Alex, start talking!"
