Rogue assassin

Chapter 13: Meeting his parents.

I take a deep breath and walk down the hall towards the sitting room, nervously nawing at my lip, almost drawing blood I'm chewing it that hard. " What if they hate me?", " What if they try keep me away from him? " I start thinking, my head coming up with many different scenarios which all leave me heartbroken. My wolf howls loudly " shut up, they won't do that, stop being stupid " she snarls. I awkwardly stand in the sitting room doorway and watch my amazing mate whom I love. My eyes bug out of the sockets, wait love? " Yes you idiot you love him " my wolf imforms me. " Can you stop verbslly abusing me for two minutes, I'm just shocked because I never really thought of loving him. It just feels natural " I snap at her and block her out so I can pay attention to what is going on. I shuffle my feet unsure of what to do, Luke's mum notices me first and launches herself at me, tackling me into a crushing hug. I stumble back a few steps from the impact but quickly regain my balance. I look at her like she's crazy which makes Luke laugh loudly and his dad to chuckle, I clear my throat and awkwardly pat her back unsure of what to do because I have never been hugged by a motherly type figure. " I want plenty of grandbabies " she whispers in my ear. I cough and give a look to Luke which says " help me out of this know " . I glare at him as he ignores my helpless look and chuckles.

She finally let's go of me and I let out a deep breath that I didn't realise I was holding in. " I'm Alice " she chirps bouncing on the balls of her feet. I smile at her enthusiasm " she must have been a great Luna " my wolf purrs breaking through the barrier I put up and for once I finally agree with her. " I'm Eva " I say. Alice looks me up and down, I gulp waiting for her look of disgust as her eyes stop at the scar on my face but suprisingly it doesn't come " beautiful name, for a beautiful girl " she says which shocks me to the core due to me not being used to compliments. Luke's Dad stands up " I sincerely apologize for my earlier behaviour, I hope we could put that behind us and start afresh. I'm Tom " he says smiling. I smile " It's lovely to meet you both Mr and Mrs Johnson. " I say politely. Alice laughs a sweet breathy sort of laugh " Sweetheart please call us mum and dad, your part of the family now " she says. I sit down " um okay mum and dad " I say quietly, taking Luke's hand in mine and squeezing it tightly. I smile softly feeling him squeeze my hand back, Alice and Tom sit down in front of us and I finally take in their appearances Luke is his doopleganger but his father has wrinkles around his eyes from years of smiling and laughter, he has a slightly smaller build than Luke but other than that they are identical.

I glance at Alice and take in her features, there's no surprise at how beautiful she is, with her chocolate brown eyes, honey blonde hair, a perfect hour glass figure and smooth, flawless skin. I shake my head and start to focus on the conversation and really wish I hadn't because Alice and Tom are telling Luke how many grandchildren they want. My eyes widen, stomach twists painfully and throat constricts from the thought of children. Luke smiles " we haven't really talked about it but I would like three or four children " he says. I gulp and stare at my lap, staying quiet uncomfortable with the conversation. " Eva how many children do you want? " Alice asks leaning on the edge of her seat, smiling widely. My eyes widen and a lump forms in my throat, I try to swallow the lump with great difficulty " Oh um I never really thought about it " I murmur avoiding eye contact with anyone. My wolf growls loudly " you have to tell them " she snaps, I wince and block her out with great difficulty. I quickly stand up " I'm sorry to cut this short, but I'm feeling unwell so I think I'll go up to bed, nice meeting you both " I say and quickly speed walk out of the room and upstairs.

I barge into Mia's and Chase's room without knocking and sigh in relief seeing Mia sitting crossed legged on her bed reading " Mia can I talk to you " I whisper making her put down her book and patting the bed beside her. I shake my head and pace up and down her room, biting my lip and wringing my hands. " what's wrong hunny " she asks tentavily. I stay quiet, still pacing up and down, she waits patiently until I'm ready to talk. One of the reasons she is my best friend, " They want eight grandchildren " I finally whisper breaking the silence. She frowns " what's wrong with that, most werewolf families have lots of children " she says confused. I sob and slide to the ground " I, I, I can't have children " I whisper heartbrokenly. I hug my knee's to my chest and sob felling Mia wrap her arms around me, comforting me in my time of need, " does Luke know?" she asks. I shake my head no, she sighs but doesn't say anything. I cry clutching her shirt tightly, I feel droplets hit my shoulder and realise she is crying too. We sob holding eachother for comfort for God knows how long.  Luke and Chase walk in and look at us confused " What's going on? " Luke asks worried. Mia jumos up and grabs Chase pulling him out of the room leaving me alone with my very worried mate. " Some friend she is " I say quietly and stand up, wiping away the stray tears. " Care to explain " Luke says quietly. I shake my head " you know us girls getting all emotional " I murmur hastily making my way out of the room towards the stairs.

Luke grabs my wrist and starts dragging me towards our room roughly " Luke your hurting me " I growl trying to pull my arm away from him. He pulls me into our room and shuts the door and locks it. " Tell me what the hell is going on " he demands. " It's nothing " I insist while rubbing my sore wrists. He scoffs " why are you lying? just tell me " he growls. I glare at him " just leave it okay? It's nothing " I hiss. His eyes flicker from his normal green eyes to black " TELL ME NOW! " he roars using his Alpha tone, making me flinch slightly. " DON'T YOU DARE THINK YOU CAN CONTROL ME!" I scream at him highly annoyed at him. He steps towards me angrily his wolf in full control " No one not even my mate disrespects me " he growls lowly " I am your Alpha you obey me ". He stalks towards me grabbing my shoulders roughly making me wince in pain. " I'm your mate, your equal, you do not command me to do anything " I grit out through the pain as he applys pressure. I grind my teeth and pull away from him, running down the stairs and into the garage and take his car. I revv the engine and speed out of the garage and down the driveway, making my way towards the town. I roughly wipe away the tears trailing down my cheeks. I drive aimlessly and start craving coffee so  I drive to a small cafe on the outskirts of town.

I pull up and turn the key killing the engine and get out, slamming the door and heading inside the cafe. I wait in line to order, and when I finally get to order, I get myself a white choclate mocha. I sit in the corner, sipping my drink and stiffen hearling the bell on top of the door jingle. I don't have to turn around to know it's Luke walking side, I don't move and continue to sip my coffe not looking up as th echair in front of me is pulled back and my mate sits down. I don't spare him a look just continue to stare at the table. I hear him sigh and he takes my hand and rubs his thumb along the back of it, iigniting the usual sparks I get when he touches me " I'm so so sorry princess " He croaks. I glance at him and notice the tears in his eyes " It's okay, I should have told you from the start, it would have made it easier on both of us instead of telling you after we mated " I whisper. He stares at me silently waiting for me to continue " I can't have any children " I whisper looking back at the table. Luke is silent and I look up at him and my heart breaks watching big fat tears slide down his cheeks. That's when all hell breaks loose.

Glass smashes all around us and I jump out of my chair looking around as men run in and some wolves. I growl and run towards the women at the counter seeing she is hiding behind it hurt. I gasp seeing she got shot, I rip my t-shirt and hold it to the wound only to realise it's too late. I stand up shaking with anger " LUKE" I scream hopping the counter and grabbing the guy who was about to stab him, I kick the knife making it fly through the air and punch him in the stomach and kick his legs from under him. I feel someone grab me from behind and struggle against them, feeling something injected into my neck which has instant effect on me. My eyes start to droop, my limbs feel heavy, my vision blurred and my speech slurred. " Luke " I mumble slumping to the ground unable to move. My eyes start to shut on their own accord but just before I fully black out I see at least ten men jumping on Luke, " I love you Luke " I manage to say before I'm thrown over someones shoulder roughly and pass out.
