Wild At Heart

-TWENTY-ONE-

The mark pictures^^^^^

The sound of commotion outside wakes me up. I look over and see Zaiden staring out the window, his expression hard to compose.

"What's going on?" He looks over at me.

"Stay here. Don't go anywhere, please." I nod as he storms out the room. I hear several voices outside but choose to ignore them.

Placing my tired legs one in front of another, I slowly make my way to the bathroom. I look in the mirror studying my mark.

An elegant Pegasus stands with her head bowed and wings up, loose feathers swirl away from her and swirls take up the majority of her body. In front of her sits a howling wolf. He's made of thick dark lines and is a little rough a rough the edges compared to the mare. Dots and more swirls are placed on him making him look more like a picture of a tribal wolf.

"Wow." I hear shouting from outside and know something is wrong.

I slip back into the bedroom and grab some clothes.

I pull on the pair of denim booty shorts and a white tank. Knowing its early morning in late autumn I grab a red flannie but don't do the buttons up.

The shouting outside has risen and it sounds like at any moment it will turn into a fight.

I draw my hair back and flick it into a high ponytail.

I turn to leave -forgetting Zaiden's orders- when I remember shoes.

I find a pair of socks and put them on before slipping my feet into a pair of Airats. An aqua colour decorates the top majority of the boots as well as a deep uniform brown stitching.

The volume of the verbal disagreement has risen even higher and I steal a glance put the window.

At first I think I'm going blind, going crazy, or even seeing things. But no.

I watch on as they shift.

Zaiden, Daymond, Blake and Liam shift also.

I mainly watch on horror as the blue roan stallion and a silver mare face off with my mate.

And neither of them know the others connection to me.

+++

I stop watching and sit on the bed. I should be doing something, not sitting.

The door suddenly burst open and my hopes ate shattered when not Zaiden but a small boy -whom I've never seen in my life- emerges.

"Quick Lis." He grabs my hand and starts pulling me along.

"Who are you?!" I practically shout in his ear.

He turns to me hurt visible in his eyes. "Good to know that you don't know your own brother."

I stare dumbfounded. "Thomas? But how?"

"Shifted earlier than you even." He shrugs. "Now come on. We gotta get you out of here and back home." He walks off.

"Thomas, this is my home." He looks back at me, his expression hard to interpret.

"How? How is this your home Alisa? Your home is with us, back on our farm, near the reserve where you can hopefully find your mate."

"Home isn't four walls, it's the heart that belongs to someone who loves you. And my home is here."

"You found your mate?" I nod. "Who is he?"

"The one that Mum and Dad are going to kill in attempt to get me."

"Hurry then! Go save lover boy!"

I race down the stairs and thought the door in the kitchen which was closer than the front door. I shift as soon as I'm outside and race around the house hoping that neither of them have killed each other yet.

I bolt as fast as Kat will take me. I fly around the corner and right into the middle of what could have potentially been a blood bath.

Thankfully it wasn't.

"KAT!" Kurnai neighed. "Thank goodness you're safe!" I rear at him making him back up.

"What's gotten into you?! We came to rescue you from these vicious monsters and you lash out at us?" Mother cries out in distress.

"Ever think that I didn't want to be rescued?!"

In my peripheral vision I see Zaiden shift and pull up the shorts someone passed to him.

"Hey girl." He greets me. "Hey, you've been missing for quite a while huh?" I snort in response and he laughs. "Liam? Get me a halter will you?"

Diana -Mum- and Kurnai look at me before shifting into human again. "You've changed." Dad tells me.

I take this as an opportunity to let Zaiden know my secret and shift back.

"The only reason I've changed is because I've found my mate." The wolves look at me dumbfounded that I was just Kat and now Alisa, but my Dad looks disapproving.

"So why are you here? Why not with your mate?" Dad speaks up.

I ignore him and face Zaiden. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. About the whole Kat thing." He blinks twice as if trying to clear something from his vision. "Its just, I thought that you'd kick me out. I thought that if you found out what I was you wouldn't accept me."

"I wouldn't," he eventually speaks up. "I wouldn't reject you if someone held a gun to my head." Although its a sadistic comment it makes me laugh. "However, I would have liked to have known."

I shrug. "Well you do know." I turn to my parents. "Mum, Dad, I'd like you to meet my mate, Alpha-to-be of the Blue Moon pack, Zaiden Jones." Dad's facial expression changes. He smiles.

"You're kidding right?" He smiles even as he says this.

I shake my head. "I've got the mark to prove it." I pull the collar of my shirt down revealing all of the mark.

"Awwww. It represents both of them." Mum shrieks.

"Its the proficy." Dad mumbles.

"What's that?" Dad meets Zaiden's eye.

"Perhaps we find your father."
