Harlan's Pov
We're all running after some random chick named Blake and guy Named Everett as I hear Luna say something next to me.
"We're going in the wrong direction" she says breathlessly
"how would you know that" I reply confused on how she would know what ways wrong as we're just following people.
"Because it's getting hotter" she continues
As realisation sinks in that we are running towards the fire instead of away. We continue following them until Blake runs into a group of fire fighters. I look next to me as I realise it's been a while since I've heard my mate.
"Fuck!" I shout as I realise she's not with us.
Luna notices my distress and the lack of mate by my side as we both look around hoping we just pops us.
"Where is she!" I whisper as a scold myself for not noticing sooner.
Auroras Pov
I start to speed up into a light job as I realise that I wanna know what happens and I won't know if I don't speed up my pace, as I start to hear voices I slow back down into a walk and I emerge from the bushes.
"Hold on I know these kids" I hear and realise that it's the same cop lady that we met before earlier today.
Before I could even start walking up to the group arms embrace me in a tight hug and I soon realise that it's my mate. He mumbles into my neck "I thought I lost you, I couldn't see you anywhere" as he lose a his grip to look me in the eyes.
"Hey I'm fine I just didn't want to run" I say laughing as his features turn into a smile and laughs with me.
"What do you think your doing! You told me you were going home" cop lady yells looking between Luna and Harlan.
"Ooooo somebody's in trouble" I mumble as Harlan tickles my side making me push my face into his chest to try and hide my laugh.
"Who are these two are they friends of yours" cop lady continues while looking between the siblings.
"Yeah um that's even" Harlan tries as he points to Everett, "Everett" Everett corrects looking at Harlan in disbelief. "Everett he's Everett, she's..." Harlan tries once again but becomes silent as Luna takes over.
"Blake, Everett and Blake they go to school with us" Luna finishes
"There in our class" Harlan tries once again as Luna interrupts him saying "there in the grade below us"
I'm laughing my ass off at this point and there is no way nobody is hearing it.
"Guys the truth please" cop lady says exhausted
"We were just trying to find out way back" Everett says looking between us.
"We all were" Luna finishes
"What about you two" cop lady asks looking between me and Blake.
"How come your not saying anything she asks Blake while I try to control my laughing.
"I'm not a good as liar as he is" Blake responds and that comment broke all my hard work to calm myself down as in once again in a fit of giggles.
"Funny I like you" cop lady says towards Blake as she turns to look at me.
"What about you?" Cop lady pushes looking at me.
"Just felt like having a nice stroll in the forest you know breathe in all that clear rainy kinda smell forest air" I say sarcastically looking at her.
"Come on your all going home" cop lady says ignoring my previous statement.
"Let's go" she continues as we all stand still
"Go come on" she pushes as she leads us in the direction of the car we drove here.
Once we get in the car I'm crushed between Blake and Everett. "You ok?" Everett asks Blake as he leans across my lap. "Yeah I'm great thanks for asking" I mumble as I'm ignored "yeah I'm fine" Blake answers him as she continues to keep her attention in front of her.
Everett leans back over onto his seat before he leans forward between Luna and Harlan. "So you guys are..." he asks "seniors" Harlan interrupts him. "Yeah I kinda knew that" Everett replies looking towards Luna as she says " we should talk to them" but her statement was aimed at Harlan as he looks at her and says "we don't even know them"
"I know Everett" she argues
"When's the last time you hung out with him" Harlan says looking at Luna with a raised brow
"I don't remember" she mumbles looking back at the road
"It's because you don't know him" he argues back.
"Except I do" Luna argues back again.
"Expect you don't, and they don't know us. So don't say a word Luna" Harlan continues
"Can we take a break my neck is hurting from you guys going back and forth" I mumble cracking my neck which earned a disgusted look from Everett.
"Everett why'd you run into the woods" Luna continues as she looks into her mirror at Everett.
"I heard a wolf howl" he answered looking back at her from the back seat.
Blake looks at him with a curious gaze while pull out my phone and start playing minion rush.
"You heard it too" Everett says looking at Blake.
"So did we" Luna says moving her head to look back at Everett.
"Luna stop talking" Harlan says looking at Luna.
"Did you get a call?, a phone call?" Everett asks as he leans towards Luna. I suddenly become interested as I focus back in on the conversation.
"From who?" I ask looking at Everett fear spread across my face.
"I don't know?, but he said he was going to try and kill me before the next full moon" he said looking between me and Luna.
I take a deep breathe as this all sounds too familiar and pray that it's not what I think and that I'm just over reacting.
Harlan reaches over and turns the radio up as Luna reaches over to turn it down, but Harlan goes to turn it back up as both siblings start arguing.
I reach over and push Everett out of the way to grab ahold of the steering wheel and move us back into our lane as Everett shouts "watch out!"
"That was so much fun can we not ever do that again" I say you from being sarcastic to dead serious.
"Agreed" Harlan mumbled as he reached his hand behind him for me to take.
"One question" Luna breathlessly asks. "I just wanna know one thing ok" she continued looking at Harlan.
Harlan's only response was looking out his window.
"Did something bite you?, we're you bitten?" she asked looking back at Blake and Everett
"We both were" Everett replies
"We'll that much was obvious you both act like freshly bitten betas" I mumble as everyone looks back at me in confusion.
"What" I ask not knowing why there so confused.
"I can show you the bite" Everett says as he goes to show us his shoulder, but all everyone can see it completely heals skin with no trace of a bite.
Everett looks shocked as he looks at it almost like he wasn't expecting it to be healed. Harlan scoffs as he looks back out his window. But something doesn't sit right with me as I feel the need to have a closer look.
