The Alpha's Daughter

Chapter Twelve

Chapter Twelve
Can't Be True

Ryan and I stare at the girl in shock.

Her hair is the same color as Ryan's, but her eyes are a silver color, pretty really, but also rare. She is pretty skinny and dirty.

"H-hi" she stutters and looks down to the floor "Can I speak to you guys in private?"

Ryan looks at me and I shrug my shoulders. This has to be some sick and twisted prank from a pack member or even a neighboring pack, since I've never seen her before. I follow Ryan into an extra room that my parents have and laugh as I see how dusty the shelves and boxes are in the room.

She closes the door behind us and we all stand in silence until Ryan clears his throat. "So seriously. If this is some cruel joke, I would advise you to speak up now before it gets to far and ill have to be forced into taking action and punish you and whoever your working with."

"I'm not working with anyone and this isn't some stupid joke. I am being serious I am your sister. My name is Scarlett and I just turned fifteen. I never really knew you because mom and dad had me stay with Aunt Shannon at her pack, the black heart pack, which really isn't far from here.." She pauses looking at Ryan, who looks like he's struggling with trying to believe her.

"You must have the wrong person. My parents are dead" Ryan whispers, while balling his hands up into a fist.

"No. I don't have the wrong person. I was left a letter saying when I turned fifteen to come here to your pack and find you, and well since your the Alpha it wasn't to hard to find you" She says chuckling, probably trying to break the tense air that's in the room.

"This is not something to mess around about. Do you know that?" Ryan says

"Yes, and that's why I came with some proof" She says handing him a letter "Also if we both shift, we will have the same white spot behind our left ears. Its a sign of family. Mom and dad had it too.."

He reads the letters then looks up. First at me, then at Scarlett. "Then lets go shift"

*************

Out in the back yard both Ryan and Scarlett shift into their wolves. Ryan is remarkably larger due to being a male and an alpha. His dark fur compliment his gold eyes so beautifully. Scarlett has a large, not as large as Ryan, wolf, that has gorgeous silver eyes, just like her and her fur a pretty blonde.

'Check our ears' Ryan mind links to me and I nod my head

I walk next to Scarlett and look behind her left ear like she said it should be and sure enough, she had a white spot. "Its there" I say and the Ryan shifts uncomfortably.

I know he has the spot. I've seen it before while on patrol or simple run. I've never thought anything of it.

So I go to Ryan and lay my hand on top of his head. He growls under his breath. Wolves -no matter who they are- don't really like to be touched.

I brush my hand down his head and neck and look behind his ear where I know it's gonna be.

"It's there.." I say softly and his ears lay down flat and his fur sticks up.

He snaps at my hand and I yank it away -assuming out of anger and shock- and growls, then runs off towards the woods.

I stare at the kicked up dirt and then look at Scarlett who has shifted back and put her clothes on. "I'm-"

I raise my hand to silence her. "He's in shock. He'll be fine. Let's go get you a shower and change of clothes" I say and sigh, walking to the car.

I was hoping by the time I got home, Ryan would be home. But he's not.

I give Scarlett a pair of my sleep pants and a tank top and show her were the bathroom is and were she will sleep for the night.

She thanks me and heads off to the bathroom quietly. I read her mind. She feels bad for upsetting Ryan. But she wanted him to know she existed. She was hoping he'd understand and accept her.

But I know if he does. It's gonna take time.
