Forever Is A Long Time

Why did he have to ask? I don't want to tell him, but he has a right to know, it is his brothers after all.

"Can we maybe talk about it tomorrow? Let's just enjoy tonight, please?" I asked.

He nodded and then I asked, "Rai, can I go to school? I'm in my second last year, so please?" he huffed a little chuckle and then nodded but said,

"You can, but you have to stay with the triplets, or one of the pack members who can keep an eye on you, or protect you if need be." I nodded and we talked a little more.

I thought about my brother, I really need to tell him what's been haunting me, even though he'll probably hate me afterwards. But he has a right to know, I've kept it to myself all these years, but I'm not going to be selfish anymore.

"Rai, can I please go visit my brother, there's something important I have to tell him." I pleaded with him. He gave me a tight lipped smile and nodded.

I hugged him and then he said, "I forgot to tell you, Damon is free and joining the pack." I jumped on Rai, hugging him from excitement.

He laughed and held me tight. He walked, carrying me, towards his room. He put me down and I grabbed some pj's and went for a shower, getting ready for bed.

I woke up early the next morning and tried to pry Rai's arm from around me, but it just tightend. I huffed and then used my extra strength. I managed and left, getting clothes and going to a spare bathroom. I changed and went to the gym.

I am almost done when I hear, "Man, girl. You have matured and become sexy in the last few years." it was Calum, the oldest of the 3.

"How're your brothers doing?" Carmen, the second oldest, asked.

"You know very well that I only have one brother left, and it's all your fault." I spat.

"Now, now, Mack, don't blame us. We didn't do anything. We just became friends with him to keep an eye on you two after you couldn't keep your nose out of other's business. Now, what the hell are you doing with our brother?" Cenan asked.

"I'm not doing anything with him. He's the one keeping me here..." I was cut of by Rai shouting,

"Mack, where are you?!"

Calum smirked and Carmen told him where I was. Just as the door opened, Calum smashed his lips against mine and kept me from moving away from him.

I tried but couldn't. I heard a sharp intake of breath and Calum finally pulled away, but before I could say anything, Calum wiped the back of his hand across his lips and yelled, angrily,

"What the hell! Stay away from me and don't try that again! I'm not going to let you cheat on my brother with me!"

I looked at Rai and saw fury. I tried talking when he started, cutting me off, "I help you out with your cheating mate and then you cheat on me, with my own brother! Looks like you and Liam were meant for each other after all, you're both lying, cheating..."

I didn't listen anymore and jumped out of the window. As soon as my feet touched the ground, I rolled and then got up, running into the forest. I shouted a secret signal only two people would understand, and I heard them on the other side of the territory. They don't know what I am, but they do know that since I was little, I had sensitive hearing.

I shifted when I was deeper in the forest, masking my scent also. I ran in their direction.

I can't believe he'd think that of us, he knows I hate his brothers, I told him so last night. I told Viper.
