Beta's Sister, Alpha's Mate

Chapter Seven~You're Suppose to be Dead!

I don't know how long I can keep running or how long it will take William to find me but I know I need to keep those I love safe. If that means staying away than I will stay away.

"You can't do this to yourself." I say in my head.

I sit down on a park bench and just think. I think about my father who lied to me for 5 years; About my mother who isn't who I thought she was; About my friends who are still here for two and a half more weeks; And about my mate William.

I feel weird inside but I know that it's probably just the imprint telling me to get my ass back to William. I can't let whatever's inside me hurt him or anyone else. This magic that I have inside me can hurt someone, possibly even kill someone.

Something hits my head like a brick and I get a pounding headache. As I rub my head with my hand I start to hear voices. What the hell is going on? Wait, didn't William say something about my bond becoming stronger with the pack? Maybe that's whats happening.

"Chloe, please come back." I hear William's voice ring through my head.

"You didn't hurt me. I'm as hard as stone." Finley jokes.

"Guys, I don't want to risk hurting any of you." I almost whisper through my thoughts.

"Chloe, your dad says that some of the pack members from Memphis followed him here. He says that they're probably after you and that you need to get home right now!" William growls.

Wait, did he say the pack from Memphis? The people that killed my mother are here in California? If what William says is true they better be ready for a damn good fight. I will have them wishing they had never killed my mother.

Just the thought of those bastards has me wishing I could kill them all.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and I feel my body stiffen up.

"You smell of wolf." The stranger says.

"Who are you?" I snarl.

"Someone who has been looking for you for a long time Chloe." The feminine voice strikes me as familiar.

"Who are you?" I snap again.

"I'm hurt Chloe, you don't remember your own mother?" Mother? What the hell? I was told she was dead, I was told she was killed in a fire when I was 11!

"You can't be my mother. She's dead." I growl.

I turn to face the stranger and I turn white. The person standing behind me is my mother...

"But how..." I say with a shaky voice.

"Chloe, I'm a witch I know how to get out of situations that could lead to my death."

"I was told that you cursed the lycanthrope because they burned you at the stake. Today I was told that you were dead and before today I thought you were a slut. How the hell did you make it out of there alive and how have you been living without dad for so long?" One question after another flood through my mind and I fight back the urge to shout them all out.

"Chloe, in the last minute I flashed out and made it look as if I had died to keep the pack off my trail. I never expected that they would go after you. It has been agonizing living with out your father but I had to do it because I thought it would keep you both safe. I have been watching you from the shadows Chloe and I'm very happy with the way you turned out." She moves around the bench and looked me in the eyes.

I'm in literal shock. My supposed dead mother is sitting beside me and telling me that she survived and I'm sitting here like a bump on a log. What is wrong with me.

"You need to know that I never wanted to leave you Chloe. But I couldn't be killed." She explains.

"If you've been watching over me than can you tell me if some of the Memphis pack followed dad and I here?"

"Yes, thats why I've come out of the shadows. The pack can't defeat both of us at once and since you found your mate you are much stronger."

"What dad going to do when he finds out?" I whisper to myself.

I look around the park and see that there are several people staring at my mom and I. I get the chills and shiver. Something's wrong. Something is very wrong.

"Mom..." I say worryingly.

"I see them to hun. There from Memphis. Stand up and start walking away." She whisper in my ear.

"Lucinda? I thought you were...." One of the men trails off.

"Dead? Think again." And with those words from my mom we were running down the streets.

"We can't outrun all of them." I pant.

"No, but we can out magic them." She says. "Just think of a place you want to be and you will flash there."

I think of my bedroom back at the new house. I think of the black and white bedding and the gigantic closet. I think as hard as I can in hope that I will flash there.

Within seconds I feel my body weight shift and my feet hit the ground. I stumble back onto my butt. I open my eyes and see my mother standing right beside me in my bedroom.

"What the fuck?" I whisper to myself.

The door bursts open and I jump to my feet. William stands in the door way with a 'what the fuck' look on his face.

"Who the hell is this?" William asks as I notice my dad approach to door from behind.

"Lucinda?" Dad's eyes widen and out of the corner of my eyes I see mom give a nervous smile.

"Hi Daniel..."
