How My Sister Became a Werewolf and How I'm Dating the Alpha Chapter 16

A bright light shone in my eyes. Why won't it go away? I tried to bat it away, but I was too tired.

-~*~-

A warm body pressed against me. I snuggled closer to it. It felt warm. Safe.

-~*~-

I'm so tired. When will I ever feel better?

-~*~-

... ... ...

-~*~-

Light streamed into my eyes. I could tell this time that it was sunlight.

"...Audric?" I mumble. My lips feel like steel ton weights.

"I'm here Julie." He whispered into my ear.

"I'm so... tired, Audric. I don't feel very good."

"I know, dear. Just go back to sleep." I fell asleep to him stroking my hair.

-~*~-

"Julie! Oh my gosh! Is she alright?!" I think that’s... Is that Mom?

I struggle to open my eyes. Why are they so heavy?

-~*~-

Someone was holding my hand. I felt rested. Way better than I have the past hours/days/weeks. My eyelids fluttered. "Julie? Are you okay? Can you hear me?" That was my Mom's voice. What was she doing here?

"Mom?" I whisper, opening my eyes. I'm on Audric's bed. She really shouldn't be here. She hand me a cup of water. I drink it gratefully, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm so glad you're awake. They said you might not make it. I was so worried." She grabbed my hand tighter. I could tell she was holding back tears.

"I feel a lot better than I did before. Is Dad here? Jenna?" I ask, attempting to sit up. Mom pushes me back down.

"Your father is downstairs... Jenna is... Well we're not sure where Jenna is. Audric and his friends searched everywhere for her..."

"Jenna?! What happened to her?!" I shout, struggling to sit up. This time I evaded Mom's hands and immediately felt dizzy. I swooned.

"You need to stay lying down. The doctor was very strict about that. He was mad enough already that we didn't bring you to the hospital. Julie! Stay down!" She was using her 'Mom' voice, so I obeyed.

"I need to talk to Audric then!" Mom looked like she didn't like the idea of me talking to Audric, but she sighed and got up and left. Audric walked in a few minutes later.

"Hey, Julie. Your feeling better?" He sat down at the edge of the bed and put his hand on my leg. It sent shivers up my spine.

"Yeah. Why are Mom and Dad here?" I ask, looking at him. He had a black eye and scratches down his arm.

"We couldn't very well tell them the same thing we told them last time..." He replies.

"So they know? About the werewolf thing?"

"Some I guess... They know about werewolves already since your family is an ancient hunter of them, so we told them that all of us are werewolves, including Jenna. They said that they suspected that. We didn't tell them about the vampires. They don't remember the attack on the house, just that you were taken. I told them the 'burglars' scared you and so you ran off, fell down a hill, hit your head, and bled out a lot. Not a very good lie, but it convinced them."

"What happened to Jenna?" I ask softly.

"Some other vampires kidnapped her while we were rescuing you. We're not sure where she is... I'm sorry Julie."
