Midnight Kiss

Chapter 5

Aza told us we needed to get this solved soon. So Patrick and I sped to our land to find my father. Since he was still alpha we had to go through him to get things done.

"Hi sweetie how was the party? I hope your phone broke and thats why you couldn't call cause otherwise I'm going to break you" my mother said narrowing her eyes at us as, as we walked into my parents house. She always tried to play the tough act, but really she was too sweet and nice.

"Im really sorry mom. I met my mate last night and things went kind of crazy. Patrick met his mate too. And we kind of need to talk to dad about it, because well.." i had no idea how to even explain what was going on.

"They didn't reject you did they?" Mom asked softening her eyes.

"Well not really, but they said we couldn't be mated.."

"Oh so they're werewolves?!" Mom asked getting excited

"No...they're" I started saying before I was cut off

"Thomas Scott Styx you did not tell a human, two humans, about werewolves did you? Do you know how much trouble you two could get into?!"

"Mrs. Styx, we didn't tell them. They're the ones who said it out loud, not us. We're as confused as you are. They said something about needing to talk to the elders and their council about this because it was bad" Patrick said to my rescue.

"Shit" mom mumbled while grabbing her phone.

"Dave. You need to come home now. You and Ryan. The boys mated with two girls from the Northern Council. Apparently the girls want us to meet with their council to discuss this issue.  *pause while she listens* dont yell at me! How is this my fault. I told you we should have told the boys about them when they were younger! *another pause to listen* see you in 15" with that mom hung up the phone.

"Mom what the hell is going on? What's the big deal?!" I asked. I was sick of not knowing answers.

Slowly she looked at me.

"You boys just mated with a couple of witches"

Azalea

"Mom!" I said running into the hut. This was my parents business. They celebrated the new moon of the new year. Offering it sacrifices and praying to it and all other witch stuff. Lucky for me though that meant the other council members were here.

"Happy birthday love" mom said kissing my head, "why are you all sweaty? Is everything alright?"

"Mom no. Things aren't alright." I said

"I met this really cute guy, but he's a werewolf..and.."I started

"Aza! You know that's not allowed!" Mom said pulling me into a more private area

Camryn followed silently (for once in her life)

"Mom I know. I was just going to be a little rebellious and flirt then move on, make him forget me.  But we mated and I can't make him forget" I said.

"Oh no. No no no." Mom said

"We told them the council needed to meet with them and their elders to figure this out" Camryn said

"Yes, that's true. Shit. Why did this happen." Mom said to herself

"It happened to me too. I mated with his best friend" Camryn said sheepishly

"Of course you did. Why wouldn't you have?" My mom said stress laughing.

"Alright girls lets go figure this shit out" mom.

Thomas

"Whoa Mrs. S. Did you just say witches?" Patrick asked in disbelief. "As in spells and brooms and cauldrons and black cats?"

"Oh Patrick. Yes as in spells, no to the rest. I think. Maybe they have black cats who knows." Mom replied

"Wait. Why couldn'twe be told about them? Were we ever going to be told?" I asked confused.

"Honey your dad knows more than I do. He can explain. The council decided years ago that young werewolves shouldn't know about the witches. The elders thought rebellious teens would want to try and date the witches, which isn't supposed to happen. So therefore only the alpha, beta, and third command wolf would be told about them after they turned 18 and assumed their roles in the pack. The witches are supposed to teach their children to be invisible to werewolves and stay away from them."

"Why can't they be together? And how do you know about this then?" I asked her in even more confusion.

"Oh sweetie, a mate knows all of what their mate knows. You don't keep secrets from your mate, if you want things to run smoothly. Remember that boys." Mom said winking at us. "And you need to let the elders explain the story, they know it better than I do. The story isn't shared that much."

Sure enough 15 minutes later my dad and Patrick's dad, Ryan, walked through the door.

"Which girls did you mate with?" My dad asked

"I mated with a girl named Azalea, and Patrick mated with her best friend Camryn." I said

"Do you know last names?" Ryan asked

I looked at Patrick for help. He shrugged.

"No. Why? Does it matter?" I asked

"Ryan see if you can find any information based on the first names." Dad said, then turning back to me he said, "I just need to know who's family we're dealing with. See son, some of the witches don't agree with werewolves existing. But I have to tell you the story in front of the witch council, part of the pack. That way both sides are properly told"

I checked my phone

"Aza said they could meet us at 2 on the neutral ground" I told him

"Very well. Let's go then" he said.
