My Big Bad Wolf

15: Close

Him

I'm glad nobody did anything so sudden. I nearly beheaded Blaze for even having some relation towards my kitty. But come to find out he was her elder brother. I'm glad my mate was able to clear it up, especially calm him about me and Zachary being werewolves. I'm glad we dont have to go into hiding again.

I'm with Blaze right now, in the kitchen, discussing about the brother-sister relation the two share, along with childhood memories. I learned a lot of habits my love has had in the past, some follow. I learned a bit about their parents and that their mother, Katie, isnt what you'd call a mother figure.

"What about you? What's your family like?" He asked, the question making me pause. My family. I havent seen my family in so long.

"Um- it's a bit complicated-" I stuttered, my voice starting to struggle to escape. I havent talked about my family ever since I was driven out.

"You ok? You can tell me, ya know" He said softly, seeing my change in emotion. I'm starting to see why he's such a brother figure to Rachel.

"I. When I was a teen, I was driven out of my home pack, framed for a crime I didnt commit and they believed out of fear of me. I had to leave my family behind and I never got to see them again-" I managed to say, my throat clogging up and my heart began to hurt. I forgot how hard it was to think about it.

"My mama, papa, and father. Along with my little sister, Tiani and baby brother, Micheal" I described. Remembering my family's faces clearly. Tiani was 6 when I left and mama was 1 month pregnant with my soon-to-be brother who they already named.

"Wait, you two dads?" He said, breaking the sad atmosphere a bit. I chuckled at his reaction.

"Yes, my father and mama married first then had me and Tiani, then they found Giovanni, papa, and they got remarried with him, having Micheal next. Theres a weird dna thing that offsprings of mates have but I wont explain right now"

"Guess that's why" he said mainly to himself.

"Why what"

"Why Rachel trusted you. She has always been a good girl, was able to tell right from wrong. She saw good in you even before knowing who you were" he explained, care and warmth flood his eyes. She trusted me when she treated my ankle. She trusted me when inviting me into her home. She cared about me enough to trust me with her safety.

"This whole werewolf bond thing, I believe its strong with you two. I can read her emotions clearly and she definitely has her heart left with you. That's why I'm scared of it" he spoke, making me confused again.

"Scared? Why would you be scared of the bond?"

"Because im afraid she'll forget about me, that she'll have so much love for you that she spends less and less time with her brother. We were like best friends growing up and I dont want to lose it" he confessed.

"You know she would never do that. From what I have learned about her so far, she cares about everyone close to her, you no different. You have been there for her in the times she needed it. She will never forget you in the slightest" I comforted him, reaching for a boxed cookie on the table.

"You're just a misunderstood guy, huh. Look scary but actually just like everyone else" he said looking at me.

"I dont like being like everyone else. Trying to be like someone when you could be better as yourself. That's why I didnt give any of those wolves pain when they framed me. Because I'd just be proving their point"

"That's why I fell deeper in love with your sister. She was different. She wasnt like everyone else. I was attracted to her differences" I said, zoning off. Rachel's soft, peachy face filled my mind, her body, her laugh, her scent, I felt myself get hard just by the thoughts.

"I can tell. I'm glad my sister found you. I'd be glad to call you my brother in law" he said, raising his hand to rub my head. I was happy at the name because I recently found out about how human titles work. My smile soon fell when I struggled to open the bag the cookie came in. Blaze chuckled at my failure and took the bag from me, opening it with ease and giving it back, side eying me with a smirk. Stupid human.

I accepted the cookie but broke it in half to give him the other half as I ate my own. He accepted his with a smile and nibbled on it. My mind was elsewhere though as we sat in a comforting silence.

I wanted to wait for Rachel to be ready, to be the one to start it. But I can't keep myself at bay for much longer. I have to show her how much I love her, what she means and does to me.

I want to please my kitty.
