She led me to him (Werewolf story)

Chapter 69 (part 1): Best friends

Serah POV

"Mom, what is it all about?!"

My vocal chords vibrated in anger, I was dead mad for hundred of reasons but I was enough of a patient person to not let it on others.
Today, however, everything that was repressed came out flowing with a debit I could no longer control.

"Dear, listen, if you're in Ice Moon, then you need to move away, I'll tell you everything later, but it's not safe."

She couldn't do this to me anymore, how much longer would I have to wait? How much longer would I have to stay in ignorance about my own identity? I was tired, I wasn't doing it anymore.

"It can no longer wait, you don't know what's going on here, I spaced out once and when I woke up, I was in a pool of blood. I can read minds and the smells make my head go crazy, and you want me to wait? I just want to go home. Mom please, just talk to me, anything, just tell me anything."

My hands went to my hair, messing with my lengths like the deranging mess going on inside.

"Baby, I know, it's my fault, I made the wrong choices but I can't go back so please, wait for me just a bit longer. I'm with Kevin now, he needs us, I'm indebted to him. Just get away from Ice Moon, it's neither safe for you nor them. I'll send you all that you need when you get back to that pack, it is Red Crescent right. Go back there and-"

I cut her off, his name alone was enough to wreck my sanity, she knew he was a priority and I'd put all my childish needs aside for him.

"I don't want to go back, I mean I can't-"

"Baby, I don't know what happened, but I sent everything you're looking for there so please, just be there to get your package. After that, go wherever you want, you can even come to New-Zealand, I'm there actually-"

"I thought you were in China?"

Silence responded.

"I lied."

"Mom!"

"I didn't have time nor the words to explain everything to you but I promise, get safely to Red Crescent and I love you. Just know that we will talk soon. Dear, I need to go back."

Her voice went softer at the end, leaving me nothing but enough to go by.

" I love you too."

I whispered before hanging up.

In the heat of my temper, I ignored the slight wind making my hairs alert. I looked up but again nothing, only a few luminous dots.
I sat by the hardly noticeable open door.
My muscles were sore, my brain overwhelmed and my heart was confused.

These senses were blessings in disguise, I could hear everything and smell everything. Everything at the same time, the pain of this pack, the confusion my family left me in and the hate and love I felt towards Jay.
I wanted a breather, a few seconds I could call mine, a few seconds where I was normal, not some bloody murderer.
I knew I wasn't one. But it was hard to put a name on what I was, human, wolf somewhere in the middle.
It was hard to find a place where I belonged.

Closing my eyes right now was all I could do.
Breath in, breath out. However, nothing worked.
My heart was burning with fury, blaming my mom for always finding the right excuses, blaming Kamil and his family to make me tolerate a being that did not deserve my attention and blaming Jay for never keeping his promises, for always messing, for making me feel things I'd rather not.
Breath in. Breath out.
That flame was not to be extinguished. That burning rage towards everybody.

I went up, but all I could think of was running away.
Suddenly, his scent invaded the stairs and my eyes found him.
I tried my best to avoid him but he did not offer me this pleasure. He kept his position, making his mission to block my path.

"Jay, if you're going, just go, you breathing next to me is irritating enough."

He forced our eyes to meet, making the butterfly on my stomach migrate south.
Before I could get away he leaned in closer.

"Look at me Serah, don't you feel irritated and all over the place?"

He was right but he certainly forgot he was one of the main reasons I wasn't enjoying my senses.

"If you weren't this close I wouldn't be this agitated."

My heart missed a bit at the sudden change of settings. If I thought we were close then he was proving to me that there was still space we could get rid of.

"Think again, how do you feel right now?"

I did feel better. But I won't accept his comfort.
It was too late to deny him when our lips collided.
The warmth, the sparkles and the shivers... They all worked on my unstable being. His soft and gentle touch paused my brain, giving a break to my sensitivity.
This trans transported me to another world, a world where only him and I existed.
The moment came to an halt and the reality of the situation downed on me like a bad dream.

"Do you feel better?"

His blue reflected nothing but compassion, a gaze I wished he gave me a few weeks ago. But he did not and his choices still hurt me.
My pride won't let him have his way but he was, the moment his hands were on mine all my worries were soothed.

"I hated not hating it."

He smiled with sorrow but I couldn't offer him more because I was set, set on giving up this part of myself.

"I feel better too."

And he rushed out leaving me poised and stripped of my insane mood fluctuations.
I breathed in and out, feeling way better. It should be illegal to have this much influence over someone's emotional state.

...

The door opened again, on its own or more by my dear Kesa little arms. She welcomed me into a warm hug. And Jeorgia led me to the couch.

"Did your mom tell you everything about you and your kin ?"

I sighed in exhaustion.

"Nothing, she said nothing but I needed to go back to Red Crescent as soon as possible because she sent me a package there and I might be a menace to Ice Moon."

Her eyes darted in her head searching for something I had no idea about.

"That's true, the underground passages leaked. Meaning that someone from the council betrayed our alliance. I would need to go back to the pack house too, Asar needs our help, there was so much he needed to know, goddess... That kid is too young to fight against old traditional wolves. Anyway Serah, your mom is right, go back with Kamil and Jayson as your escorts you should be safe."

Like I needed any man to save my ass.
But I would kindly accept her concerns.

"By the way, how did you know my mom?"

The background noise, which was tape water running irregularly stopped and fast steps over took the living room.

"Mom, just tell us already, how is aunt Inhana the reason Serah actually exists?"

My neck snapped towards Kamil.

"What? I exist because of what?"

Laughs decorated this appartement, getting back its warm attribute.
Jeorgia smile never faltered.

"To put it in a more comprehensive way, your grandma was my sister's best friend."
