Two weeks later

I wake up to find my brother snuggled into my side sleeping peacefully. I shake him while calling his name, I know it's useless it's the same every night and morning. At night he can't sleep well because he gets flashbacks of that horrible night so in the mornings he is catching up on lost sleep. My heart breaks every time I hear him crying or whimpering trying to be brave in his own bed. He knows I am here for him but it is something he is trying to overcome, still, I call him over, its not easy to see him suffer.

Normally I would leave him to sleep but today's our birthday so I keep shaking him, he's going to be fairly grouchy. "Come on Lucas please wake up it's our birthday and I want us to have breakfast together for a change" I try. "Fuck off" is the lovely reply I get. "Please, please, please" I beg. He peeks out from my chest and growls, not just a grr, no it went like this "grrrrrrrrrrrr, you're lucky I love you so much".

I smile "yay thanks bro". I jump up and drag him along, I plop him on the side of the bed and go pick out clothes for us both. He's just sitting there eyes half closed grumbling at me, something about being too damn perky in the mornings. I ignore this because once he wakes up he'll be back to his shy self.

Before our parents died Lucas was a sassy and sarcastic dude, but that side of him only comes out rarely these days and I hate that that side of him is locked away. I am doing everything I can to help but it's only been a year. I hope time will help.

We do our morning routine and head downstairs. Lucas turns on the TV and just leaves on a random music channel. Together we make breakfast and sit to eat at the island in the kitchen. "What are we going to do about tonight" Lucas asks nervously. "We discussed this, we go to the very edge of the pack lands, I will do the usual run then I will meet you at the place I showed you, we will run together then go to where we have our secret spot and shift. I will cover our scents with the elixir but remember no matter how painful this is going to be we have to be quite." I reply, feeling just as nervous but trying not to show it. If I fall apart we might as well just head to the border and hand ourselves over, that will not be happening ever!!.

I can see the fear in his eyes but he trusts me to get us out of there if it goes belly up. I just hope I'm worth the trust. Before that dreadful night father had been training me in the art of survival, it's how we've survived alone but if alpha Jace gets one hint of us we will be in serious trouble. We live in the town between the blood-moon pack and the full-moon pack. I chose to find a secluded spot near the full-moon pack territory because father told me that alpha Jace is a little (only a little might I add), bit more lenient towards outsiders. Whereas the alpha twins, Damon and Dante of the blood-moon pack have been known to be more ruthless. I did not want to have a face off with them, I had to protect Lucas at all times.

Lucas' PoV

I listen to Luka and I trust him. It's clear that he's nervous too but as always he's strong for me. I hate being so fragile but I've always been this way, it's why father trained Luka and not me. I was happier inside with books or TV or helping mother in the kitchen. That was my favourite thing to do, myself and my mother would cook up a delicious meal for my father and Luka all the while chatting and laughing. I miss that so much but that night took it all; my teasing sassy attitude, my love of cooking (this is why Luka cooks now), my freedom but worst of all my parents.

"Time for school bro" I hear my twin say breaking me out of my depressing thoughts. I don't reply just get up and grab my bag.

As soon as we get to school Tim, Josh and Laney rush to us shouting happy birthday, I go as red as a berry over this, hating the attention. Lukas shushed them knowing they were embarrassing me but thanked them, see me first as always, poor Luka.

"So what are we doing tonight for your birthday" Laney asks. "Nothing too special" Luka says. "What come on guys it's your seventeenth birthday, we should party, your parentals are away so let the kiddies play" she whines. "Definitely not" Luka replies. "How about a Chinese and a movie, just the five of us then, don't let the day pass" she tries. You have to give it to her she knows how to get what she wants. I can see Luka looking at me, the others are glancing my way too but won't downright stare because they know I hate it and Luka will snap at them for it. I don't want to go but I am thinking it will be a distraction from worrying about our midnight change so I nod. Catching this the loud brunette that is Laney yells "yes, woop woop, it's no party but I'll take it". You'd swear it was her birthday or something. "Ok we'll meet at six see you there yeah" Tim says. We just nod and go about our day.
