Chapter X

"ABIGAIL PEARL GILBERT!" I shot up, sweat on my face and then I saw them, my parents an absolute livid look on their face, I couldn't tell if it was because there was a human boy in my room or because they didn't think he was my mate.

I watched Harry shoot out of the bed and he spotted my parents and I swear to god, he looked like was going to pass out. "Stay here, I need to talk to my parents" I pushed both of my parents out of the room, Harry's mouth still open wide.

---

"Abigail! You have three seconds to explain yourself" my dad whisper-yelled. "Dad, he got attacked!"
"Oh so he thought he'd hit up the pretty girl for help and not the police? Makes perfect sense" Dad didn't even try to hide his sarcasm and I saw mums mouth twitch up in a smile.

"NO! He was attacked by a wolf" I saw them both gasp and then it was hidden quickly. "A wild wolf or the other type of wolf" naturally dad referred to the difference between actual wolves and werewolves. "The other type"
"Was It apart of a pack or lone?"
"I'm not sure but... it knew my name and I was going to be queen." They looked worried and I didn't blame them, a wolf attacking a human unprovoked or without reasonable cause was a treasonous offence.

We suddenly heard footsteps and we quickly stopped talking. "Uh Abby?" I turned to see Harry, now wearing a shirt but the one that still had a massive blood stain on the shoulder. "Harry!" I rushed over to him and helped him over to my parents who were staring at him - judging and evaluating.

"Harry, these are my parents: Hayley and Chase Gilbert." Harry stuck out his hand and they both shook it, a cautious look still on their faces. I could tell that they were cautious about his human origins and I knew deep down that they thought this boy would get in the way of their daughters quest for a mate - I mean before today the idea of human companionship probably didn't even register in their minds.

Or maybe it had...

It had once before when mum told me about the story of the girl who fell in love with a human which she had assumed was happening to me but obviously couldn't prove it so dropped it. I was worried because this was virtually unheard of and yet here it was happening now. I heard Mal and Ric jumping down the stairs and I tended - I couldn't bare this all come crashing down.

Ric would realise that this boy was my mate and tell mum and dad but I hoped he wouldn't.

"Hey what's for breakfast!? Can we have - oh hi" Mal stopped at the stairs first, wearing a pair of red flannel pyjamas and a confused expression. Ric skidded to a stop next to him and I watched him connect the dots next in his head. I watched him and I noticed him looking back and forth until he stuck out his hand "I'm Godric and this is our younger brother Malachi " I watched Harry shake his hand "Harry Grace" it was becoming awkward until mum made it worse.

"Harry would you like to stay for breakfast?"

I almost choked. This was going to be bad and then dads phone rang. As he answered I saw his face pale and he looked like he may cry. "Sorry but we have a family emergency Harry, perhaps another time?" He nodded silently and left within two minutes.

"Dad what's wrong?" Ric asked, concern lacing his tone.

"There's been a wolf attack on one of our pack... a message was left... they were murdered"
