Chapter 17
"She can do what?" Trace asked as we all sat in the living room.
"She can read minds Trace, she can read my mind." Ocean said as I was lying sideways on the chair trying to sleep. I was exhausted and at that moment I could have cared less of where I passed out and since I had already been knocked out in front of everybody I knew, I didn't care if Trace, Ocean and my brother saw me do it again. It was quite for a while and I thought I had knocked out until the point I started hearing Trace saying my name.
"Ronnie."
"Ronnie"
"Ronnie"
"Shut up Trace." I screamed at him
"I think she should go find a bed." I heard him say
"Im fine right where I am...ok" I asked "so you can stop talking about me!"
Milo had brought some of my clothes over and I had changed out of the wet ones once I got back but even sitting here with the fire going, I was cold. I could hear snickering coming from somewhere near the kitchen and then my brother responded to Trace by saying "Don't take it personally Trace, she does that to everyone."
"Milo shut up!" I responded bluntly in an attempt to ignore all of them. What I really wanted to do was to get up and deck Trace right in the face for annoying me but there was another part of me that was just too tired to do anything. The chair was next to the couch in which Ocean was sitting on and across from the chair Trace was sitting in. My head was on the arm rest and my legs were lying across the arm rest of the chair and the couch.
"Hey Ronnie, do you think that you can only read Ocean's mind?" Trace asked towards me.
"What are you getting at Trace?" I asked him back
"Well I was just thinking, if you can read Oceans' mind, can you read other Wolves minds or if is just...."he stopped talking and I knew where he was going.
"I don't know, honestly I didn't even know that I read his mind until he told me that he didn't speak out loud." I said falling very fast into darkness.
Ocean's POV
"She's asleep." I said as I heard her snore.
"So what'd you think about all of this?" Milo asked me.
"I don't know what to think about it! Everything is happening right on top of everything else." I could hear my brother walking into the room.
"I mean we still have to get Selena on our side, train both of them, plan what we're going to do all in just a few weeks...and now to top it off Ronnie can read minds." I threw my hands in the air.
"Or at least she can read your mind." My brother said from the doorway. "I heard you guys from my room."
"You still have your hearing?" Trace asked "I thought that you lose your gifts if you denounce the wolf."
"Trace when you denounce your wolf it doesn't mean the wolf goes away or is taken from you, it's still there it just can't take over." He told him.
"So you still hear it?"
"Yes Trace I still hear him in my head complaining when I do something stupid, insulting me when I mess up, laughing at me when I make a fool of myself." My brother said "The Codex is well over four centuries old. It was meant for pure breads, not half breads."
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Back then wolves only mated with other wolves no matter if they were soul mates, the Codex is for pure bloods. Since the War between the pure breads and Alexander things have changed."
"Alexander was killed in that war!" Trace pointed out.
"Yes he was but because he fell in love with a human girl and had the courage to fight to keep that love, others had found their courage to break away from the traditions, because of him Ocean we are both here...... Ronnie's here."
"So you're saying that this book, the Codex isn't the rules basically for half-bloods?" Milo asked from the doorway of the kitchen.
"That's exactly what im saying." Lysander responded back. "Every rule that is in that book doesn't apply to half-bloods!"
"How do you know any of this?" Trace asked
"I've been doing some work for this guy up in Boston; I get information for him and in return im not exiled. The last few months I've been on this trail of lies coming from the big pure bread Alpha group in Atlanta, they are the ones who are forcing the Codex to be used still. They don't want anyone to know that the rules don't apply for half-bloods. They see it as if there is even a tiny drop of wolf's blood in you then you have to follow their rules. I don't think it's right and a lot of half-bloods are with me." He spoke with pure desire to stop this.
"This is why you came back here; you wanted us to fight with you!" I screamed at my brother
"No, I came back to help you..."
"And in return we help you. I know you Lysander; you always want something in return."
All of a sudden the room filled with black smoke and Reid came flying through. He landed on the floor by the sleeping Ronnie and Ezra came running through moments later. "We have a really big problem." He said after the black smoke vanished.
