The Alphas Mate

Chapter Thirty Six

" I'm sorry what? " I asked shocked.

There was no way in hell my brother was sitting across from me, telling me that our parents weren't really our parents. I wasn't a werewolf.

" When you were born there was a lot of bad things going down. Rogue attacks, people being kidnapped or murdered. Our real parents thought it would be safer for you to be away from it. " He explained looking sad.

" This has to be some kind of joke. " I said not wanting to believe what he was telling me.

" It's not. That's why I only came to see you a couple times. I had to make sure you were okay. When they said they put you in the system I almost lost it. I was supposed to protect you. " His voice broke as he spoke.

It had all started to fit together little by little. All the times he had left. I had always thought that they didn't want him.
" I have to go. I have lots of assignments to catch up on. " I stood up and practically ran out of the room.

There was no way in hell I was a werewolf. I would've known by now. I shook the thoughts out of my head.

Maybe when I bumped my head I fell into a coma. Yes, I was laying in a hospital bed with tubes hooked up everywhere. Isaiah was probably sitting next to me holding my hand. It made more sense than me being a werewolf. Or part werewolf I guess. It would be better than this.

No matter how much I wished and willed for it to be true I knew it wasn't.

When I looked at the stack of assignments piled up on my dresser I groaned. I would take care of that later. Instead I would take a long shower and sleep away the day.

As I replayed this past weeks events I felt my hard exterior crumble. My defense practically quit on me.

My boyfriend was a werewolf. My brother is a werewolf. Everybody I knew was a werewolf. My family isn't even my real family. I'm supposedly half werewolf. And to top it all off there was some maniac after me.

I couldn't keep this in any longer. I couldn't keep on with this lie that everything was okay. My whole life was a lie. I didn't even know if my real name was Ashlynn.

As I showered I couldn't stop thinking about it. I had barely noticed the shampoo bottle sliding off the side of the tub, but I had noticed when it fell on my foot. The full bottle landed on my foot with loud a thud.

All the built up emotions that were mixing inside of me decided at that moment they would come out.

I don't know what had me sobbing my eyes out on the shower floor. It was everything I guess. I cried for everything I though I had. I cried for all the things I had lost. I even cried for all the things I had gained. I would've been more than happy to go back to my old life. I missed it. Then I started to cry for the shampoo that had gotten in my eyes.

" Baby.. " I heard Isaiah say softly. " What happened baby girl? " He asked sadly.

" T-there's shampoo in my e-eyes. " I sobbed loudly hiccuping over a few words.

He didn't say anything as he took off his shoes and climbed in the shower. I didn't even care that I was naked.

" Close your eyes baby. " He said softly as he tilted my head up washing out the shampoo in my hair and off my face. " Okay open them up for me. " He instructed.

" I can't. " I cried hysterically shaking my head.

" Yes you can baby. I'll take care of it. " I felt him push the wet strands of hair out of my face.
