The Lone Wolf

Untitled Part 11

"Happiness doesnt mean that everything is perfect, It simply means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections"

Maurice

I was confused. Very, very, very confused. Four days ago, my entire world came crashing down. Four days ago I found out that I was a werewolf. I also found out that my only friends I've ever made were werewolfs. I also had my first encounter with hunters, (which ended with the entire pack moving to an entirely different part of the forest and me ending up with Adeline following me literally everywhere.)
         "Its not safe M. You need protection, because you can't fight, you can't control yourself. I'm not leaving you alone, so it doesn't matter how mad you are at me. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not." She told me, after I got mad and exploded at her yesterday. I guess i wasnt really mad at her, it was more I was mad at the world. I was confused, confused as to what my parents knew, confused as to who my birth parents really where. I was confused as to what i was supposed to do now, was I suposed to go with Adeline and Jonas back to wherever they cam from? Just leave my life? I suppose it wouldnt be that big of a deal, its not like I have any other friends. I have nothing here for me except my parents. Everytime I thought about it I got a headache, I was in my living room with Laura, Joseph, Adeline and Keith. they were all sitting on my couch, watching me as I paced back and forth going on about what was on my mind. Laura looked concerned, Joseph looked tired, Adeline was just trying to calm me down. Keith was silently snickering, for some reason finding this funny.
     "Oh my... I- I cant even process this. Why doesnt anything make sense? What does any of this mean!? What about the freaking wolfsbane pills!? Did they know? Did they willingy give me poison!? They're just very religious, they wouldn't knowingly harm me. Why would you guys even insunuate that!? Why am I entertaining this idea? There on way they couldve known the pills would hurt me, right? Right!?" I demanded ,saying to no one in particular. Adeline tried to say somethig but I cut her off.
      "WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" I screamed. Laura tried to stand up and touch me but i swatted her hand away. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
         "No! I don't need you manipulating my emotions anymore Laura." I snapped. She sighed and sat back down. I took a breathe and tried to calm down, I was getting Very aggitated, and i could tell it was concerning Laura and Joseph. It was Laura, Josephs and Adelines job to 'Look after me' for the next few weeks. which is just a kinder way of saying babysitting me. Because they told me that after getting the wolfsbane comepletly out of my system, both the positives and the negatives of being a werewolf would start manifesting, like they should have done years ago with my first transformation. But I didn't really care about that right now. I was getting to upset.
       "UGH! Also, what about where I'm living!? I cant just leave! MY parents wont allow that and I seriously doubt that they would be willing to move to where? Oh right, Freaking Alaska! God I dont even know if I like the cold... And What if your entire pack hates me!? I mean they practically uprooted themselves and their families to come to this backwater city and look for me. ME. of all of the rotten luck you guys end up with me, as your 'Long lost pack member.' AND what about-"before I could finish I was cut of by Joseph standing up and covering my mouth with his hand.
         "Maurice Eveln Holden I swear to god, is this seriously what you're worrying about? You need to calm down, before you trigger a transformation and claw up the Holdens very nice couch. SO stop it, and just breathe!" Joseph told me. I didnt know how to react, but when he sensed that I wasn't actually calming down any, he closed his eyes and let go of my mouth. Adeline reached out her hand and guided me to sit by her. Suddenly feeling very embaressed by my outburst I just stared at the ground                
         "Maurice, look at me." She said, taking my hand, waiting for me to sit by her.
         "M, We'll figure everything out. We will. You arent alone anymore, and we're not going anywhere. We'll figure out your parents, We'll figure out the pills. We'll figure out everything together. I promise, but right now, you need to calm down."
Adeline comforting words did help me feel better, but I still feeling with possible outcomes and bad things that could, and probably would, happen to me in the next few weeks.
       "But... Your pack, they-" I started to voice my Concern again but this time Joseph cut me off.
       "Will be perfectly fine and will love you. Maurice, we came all this way for a reason. You are one of us. You're the daughter of Henry and Lillian for God's sake! We came for you because you're one of us. And wolves stick together. " He told me smiling. I tensed up a little at the mention of my biological parents. I still wasn't sure what to think about them, I haven't even touched that part of all of this. I was Still freaking out at the werewolf bit.
      After Joseph Said what he did, I realized something. I didn't even know their names. Lilian sounds so old, like something you would expect the old lady down the street to be called. At this moment a million questions errupted from my head. What was she like? Was she nice? Would I have been happy with her as my mother, instead of Ella? What colour were her eyes? Did I look like her? Did I act like her? What did she think when she was pregnant with me? What did she do for a living?                 Of all the questions I wanted to ask, there was only one I could manage to ask.     
   "H-How did they die?" I asked, in a quiet voice. Everyone else fell silent and looked to Adeline for what to do next. She seemed stumped. No one knew what to say, Adeline was about to say there was a knock on the door. she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, as Keith got up to check who it was.                                            It was Jonas. He had news for us. He walked into the room and stood in front of me and Adeline, eying our hands. But he chose not to say anything, which I was grateful for. I wasnt really listening to what he was saying, it was all just stuff he had to tell Adeline anyway. It wasn't until Adeline snapped her fingers in front of my face that I registered they had started talking to me.
      "Hello? Earth to Maurice?" Shaking myself out of the daze that I was in, I blinked up at her.
      "Are... you okay?" She asked. I nodded, and she hesitantly continued.
       "Well, I thought you wanted to know about your parents. My father was very close with your parents and he wished-" Adeline said, before being cut off by her father with a wave of his hand.
       "Thank you dear. Please go help Laura and Joseph outside with what we were talking about before?" He told her. With another look at me, she nodded and turned around and left with Laura and Joseph.
       "Now then, what do you want to know?" He asked me, and proceeded to answer any and all,questions I might have.
