Finding Love Again

Secrets

I'm fifty miles from home and the rain has not stopped once since I left Little Rock Arkansas, but what can a 29-year-old fresh divorcee do in a town where she has no friends or family just a lying ex-husband and a so-called best friend. I called my dad when I was getting on the interstate, that was an interesting conversation.

"Hey Dad I'm getting on the interstate right now I should be there early tomorrow morning," I said into the phone when my dad answered. "OK Belle, are you sure you don't want me to send someone out there?" He asked. "Yes, dad I'm sure. I appreciate that you would love to have my ex-husband killed, but the thought of you having someone or doing it yourself doesn't sit well with me." I said laughing slightly at his antics. Always trying to protect his little girl. " I heard him huff and then say "Fine. Your Brother is happy that his big sister will be home to see him graduate high school." I smiled "Oh is he actually going to graduate?" I asked giggling my dad chuckled "Yes he will graduate, Stiles may be a goofball, but he has been really good at keeping his grades up" I smiled it was good to know that my clown of a brother actually buckled down this time. "Good, oh dad..." I was cut off by someone in the background talking to my dad. "OK, sweetie I've got a call to go to we will see you in the morning Love you," My dad said in a rush. "OK, dad love you be safe," I said and then the line went dead.

I've missed my dad and Stiles I've been gone too long. That and I've got something I need to tell them when I get home. Well mostly tell my dad, Stiles already knows but he was being really weird about it and won't tell me why. Anyways that lying ex-husband I was telling you about well let me tell you what led to the divorce. 

It was our five year wedding anniversary last month. I got off work early so I could make a nice dinner for myself and Robert.

Robert wouldn't be home for another three hours that gave me plenty of time to get done what I needed to with some time to spare. I stopped at the store to pick up everything I needed for dinner and then headed home. I pulled into the driveway grabbed the groceries and headed into the house. When I walked in I could hear strange noises coming from upstairs. There were no cars in the drive so no one should be in the house. I set the groceries on the counter, pulled my pistol from my purse and headed up the steps. As I reached the top step the sounds became more clear. It was someone making love and the sound was coming from my bedroom. I quietly crept down the hall towards my bedroom and thanked God that I made Robert fix the squeaky board as I stepped where it used to be. My bedroom door was partially open so I pushed it the rest of the way open and what I found shocked me to the core and made my blood run cold. My husband the man I loved with all my being, the man I was supposed to grow old with was making love to the woman I called my best friend. Aiming my gun at the wall just above the headboard I fired a shot. They flew apart so fast that Robert about fell off the bed. When they looked at the door and saw me standing there a gun in hand, smoke rolling from the barrel they turned sheet white and raised their hands towards the ceiling. An evil chuckled erupted from my chest. I tucked my gun into my waistband and looked at Robert dead in the eye and said: "I'm getting a divorce." He swallowed hard and nodded his head. I turned to my so-called best friend and said "I hope you like sloppy seconds because he is now all yours" I turned to go out the door only to stop halfway through turn slightly to look at Robert and say "Oh, by the way, I will be telling my father." The look of fear doubled. I chuckled again and walked out the door and never looked back.

So here I am a month later a hole in my heart that fell's like someone punched out and on the road towards home. I had hired a company to pack up my things from that house and ship to my father. I sighed happily as I passed the Welcome to Beacon Hills sign. Two left and a right later I pulled into my dad's driveway at eight o'clock on a Saturday morning. My dad's sheriff's cruiser was sitting in the driveway next to my brother's beat up old blue Jeep. I giggled seeing it remembering that he named it Roscoe for some god awful reason. I heard a loud band and looked towards the house and smiled as I saw my dad and brother walking towards my car. I quickly got out of the car and met them halfway, wrapping my arms around my dad first and then my brother. So kiddo how was your trip?" my dad asked, I smiled and said "Long and wet, it only stopped raining about twenty minutes before I got into town." Kissing me on the forehead dad wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walked into the house. "So Belly what do you have to tell dad and me?" Stiles asked as we sat at the kitchen table. I rolled my eyes at the nickname.

 "well Stiles you know, but I need to tell dad." I said sticking my tongue out at my brother "dad please promise not to freak out." I said and he nodded. "Well I'm kind of a werewolf," I said in a rush and just looked at him. he looked so calm and then he said "Belle, how did this happen? Who bit you?" He fired off two questions I was shocked but answered. "Um, it was about two years ago when I was working late one night and I don't know who it was, it was really dark and all I felt was the bite and someone says loup-garou, then he was gone." My dad was really calm and I had a question that I needed answered. 

"Dad, how did you know about being bitten?" He smiled and said "Well sweetie, there has been a lot of stuff going on since you were gone and I found out a lot about this town that I didn't know" so I asked "What kind of stuff?" my brother smiled smugly "let me answer that for you sis, so long story short Derek Hale was born a werewolf and so was his uncle Peter, Peter killed Laura his niece Derek's sister because she became alpha when their mother died. So Peter became alpha and bit Scott, then Derek avenged his sister and killed Peter and became alpha, he bite Jackson, who turned into a crazy lizard thing, Lydia game him his house key back and he turned into a werewolf and moved to London, Derek also bit Isaac, Boyd, and Erica, Boyd, and Erica was killed by and all alpha pack, Isaac moved to Pairs France after Allison died which you knew about that. Scott turned into a true alpha and then bit Liam and a few month later bit his girlfriend Hayden to save her life after she was injured and wouldn't heal when Theo turned her into a chimera, oh and Lydia is a banshee that Peter made come out of her when he bit her and then had her bring him back to life" he said in one breath I laughed at him. "Wow Stiles breath, I knew about Scott word like that spreads, but Derek and Peter I never knew," I said confused. "Yeah but we haven't heard from Derek since last summer," Stiles said. "Wait what happened to him?" I asked.

"All I know is that he went out to explore his new ability which is to turn full wolf," Stiles said. "Wow looks like I have missed a lot," I said with a chuckle "But wait what happened to Peter?" I asked, "I dunno, last we knew he was in Eichen house, but we haven't heard anything since" Stiles answered shrugging his shoulders. I nodded and yawned. "Ok, kiddo why don't you go up to your old room and take a nap," Dad said when he saw me yawn. I nodded and got up and hugged my dad and brother and made my way towards the stairs.

"I'm glad your home sis" Stiles called after me. I turned and smiled at him. "Me too little bro, me too" and went up to my room. It was the same as it was except there was a queen size bed where a twin used to be. I kicked off my shoes and crawled under the covers and fell asleep before I knew it.
