book two: Ariel's Time

Chapter 6

Ariels pov 

"So he's back." Mom whispered. 

"Mom, he is not back! For Christ sakes, he is gone." Troy threw a vase at the wall having it shatter making my mother jump in the process. "Troy enough! Sit down now!" My dad yelled at him. He gave dad a pissed off look before finally obeying. 

"What has gotten into you bud." My uncle Mike asked him. 

"I didn't want to believe it." He whispered putting his face in his hands. 

"Believe what Troy, come on you can talk to us." Uncle Jeff told him. 

He finally looked up and glanced at each and everyone one of us stopping his gaze at mom looking like he was going to break. "Im sorry mom, I thought if I kept telling myself that it was all a lie and not real that they didnt mean anything. But Ariel confirmed it for me. That is why I got so mad, Because if I would have said something from the beginning we would have had more time to prepare." 

Mom walked over to Troy grabbing his hand bending down in front of him. "Would of told us what baby? Whats going on?" 

"For a month now I have been having visions of him returning with his son. A witch helped him, and I didn't want to believe it. I couldn't believe it mom. And im sorry i let you down. I am sorry i let my stupid pride get in the way. He is one step ahead of us because of me." Troy voice finally cracked and he was crying. That is why he got in my face and yelled at a Alpha. We normally tell each other everything, I hate knowing that he has been hurting in secret this entire time. 

"I think we should all just head home for the night, pick this up again in the morning." James said coming and grabbing my hand. I looked down at our intertwined hands and smiled. My small hand fit perfectly in his. I looked back up to see my dad looking at us in suspicion. Great another person i have to tell that i found my mate. This is going to be fun.

Next morning*

My mother set up a family meeting for today so we could discuss further issues and plans involving Brad. Mom has been really quiet since she found out about him being back. I am scared for her well being and I don't want her acting rationally about this. 

"Ariel get down her." My dad hollowed from downstairs. "Coming!" I grabbed my boots and put them on, in that process I felt this ugly chill go up my body. What the hell. As I got up I felt it one more time as i headed for the door. Maybe its the nerves, or my anxiety doing this. Just breathe, Ariel. I walked downstairs to see the entire family in the living room along with James. He motioned for me to go over to him but I ignored him and looked at Mia. 

"I thought you said this was a family meeting, I didn't expect you to get the ENTIRE family. And James isn't family this doesn't concern him." I said. 

"Honey what are you talking about, first off James is your mate so he is family. Secondly, this envolves OUR entire family which includes your uncles. We need all hands on deck when it involves taking Brad down." 

I laughed hysterically, what makes her think she could beat something more powerful then her. 

"You think all of this can beat him? You couldn't even take him down fully last times what makes you think you could do it this time? You were nothing without Mia then and you are still nothing now!"

"Ariel what crawled up your ass this morning. Just sit down and let mom discuss what she needs to discuss not everything resolves around you princess." Troy grumbled.

"I am not Ariel your fool! But I should be scared of her, this girls powers are beyond what i've seen. Stronger than you Mia. I always wanted this girl to marry my son, but maybe I should take her for myself instead." Her mate growled at me and Mia whispered my name.
