Chapter 3: trying to figure you out

Maples pov:

Shit shit shit

"Excuse me" I say calmly

"You heard me, they.are.your.kids." Mike says slowly

Opening my mouth to reply I feel a hand pull me down. Turning to face Zach. I squat to his level as he brings his mouth to my ear. "Trust him" Zach whispers. You see the kids and I aren't like normal werewolves we contain..... powers you could say. Zach can sense who to trust. One of the reasons his so quiet.

Whispering back i say "thanks Zach but you know he can't get involved. It will just fuck up our plans." God who am I kidding we have no plans except...run.

"You forgot that I have wolf hearing." Mike states. Interrupting our discussion. Rude

Looking up I see him smirking in victory "eavesdropper much." I spit

I see him flinch a little from my cold voice "just tell me the truth." Mike persuades

"Ok you win...... there my kids!" I serenade "but don't tell anyone. I can't let the word spread." I plead. Especially since his alpha it will travel to other packs across the state. Fast.

"I won't, is it one of those people you fucked that Mr Neville mentioned?" Mike questions as I notice his hands close into fists at the thought.

Suddenly an idea came to mind "if you supply my family and I dinner I might tell you." I compromise

"Deal. Follow my car to my house and you've got a deal my little mate." He agrees

"Ex-mate" I grumble as I here him chuckle at my correction

"Get in" I say to the kids as I try to start up the car after a few tries it finally chokes to life. God I need a new car.

"So what's your plan?" Ty says as we head onto the freeway, still following Mike once his sister joined him in his car. Might I say his car is very flash. But after all he is the alpha.

"To get free food and not answer his question" I shrug

"Mmmm food sound good." They all say. God twins creep me out. But triplets god don't get me started.

Not saying anything else for the rest of the drive as I follow Mikes car off the freeway and take a few lefts down different roads and streets we finally arrive at his house on what I'm guessing is a rich place by not only the houses but his big ass pack house that is as big as the park across the road. It's pretty close to our house too. Fuck

"Come on get out, I'm starving and we will probably get food besides packet noodles." I State as I walk out of the car with the kids on my trail

Ignoring the beautiful looking house as I walk through the door and step into the beautiful interior. There is a massive stair case that escalades to what I'm guessing is the bedrooms and the house is decorated in delicate carvings in the corner of the ceilings. God this reminds me of home.

"Hey is there a reason why your only in bare feet?" Hayley asks

"Oh yeah I don't like my....shoes" I say awkwardly. Ever since I was pregnant I always wore no shoes he used to say it was because my wolf enjoyed the feel of the land. Because I had more of a connection every since I got knocked up with the kids. But that was before....the incident and I found out why.

"She doing it again" I hear Ses say

Snapping out of my daze I see that Hayley, Mike, Zach, Ty and Ses were all staring at me.

Clearing my voice "sorry I just remembered something about how foolish I used to be" I say holding back the tears that I never let fall. I haven't cried since I was 16 his not worth my tears.

"It's ok you just seem kind of distant." Mike coos

Looking at him with a blank face, "that's what happens when you remember bad memories from the past." I state coldly as I walk past them with the kids clinging to me. There such pests sometimes.

"The kitchens just right up ahead." Hayley says. Nodding as a reply. I follow what she says and arrive to a beautiful elegant kitchen with black cupboards and not a single element out of place.

Noticing new faces moving around and preparing food. They look up as they see Hayley and Mike there faces immediately lighten up.

"Hey Ma, hey Pa" Mike says casually slinging an arm over there shoulders as he pushes past me and the kids.

"I want you to meet my mate, Maple." Flinching a little at the fact that he has parents and I don't, "Maple this is John and Diane my parents." Mike introduces us. Diane has bright red hair and light blue eyes. John has a freckle nose and dark brown hair with dark blue eyes.

"Hi nice to meet you but let me introduce myself because your son has false information about me. I'm his ex-mate called Maple" I correct

"Excuse me" they both say as there faces turn into frowns,"son she's up human she wouldn't know a thing?" His dad questions

"Yeah ummm well" Mike says rubbing his neck a little awkwardly, "I told her about us and then she asked about rejection and once I told her she just repeated what I said." Mike explains

"Don't worry Pa his trying his hardest to get her back." Hayley backs him up moving next to them. His parents nodding in understanding

"Ooh who are these beautiful kids?" Diane asks changing the subject

Moving a little to have the kids behind my back I feel Ses put up a barrier whenever she's scared. "I wouldn't move any closer if I were you, I don't want to hurt you unless nessasary." I explain. I have no intentions on harming anyone's parents, it's not right to harm parents. No matter what they do.

"Maple they wont hurt them they just want to meet them and you can't stop us anyway." Mike points out. Ha if he only knew

Not taking my eyes off his family I speak to Ses "take it down. Zach what's your thoughts on them?" I demand with a shaky voice

"Safe" he replies quietly. Slightly relaxing

"Ok I'm sorry this is Ses, Zach and Ty there my....kids" I say

"Their adorab-Wait what kids? Oh aren't you umm like 16?" Asks Diane

I hate my baby face. Stupid blood. "Ummm no I'm 21 but coincidently I got pregnant when I was 16" I say a little uneasy

"Oh where's the father?" Questions John

"That's what we all want to know." Answers Mike with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes

My eyes widen as I realise I need to hide my scent. Shit

Once I calmed down I notice the kids are talking to everyone and Mike is staring at me curiously.

Running a hand through my hair I say "what you looking at?"

"Nothing just trying to figure you out" Mike shrugs

"Keep on trying you never will" I retort

"Really? Is that right?" Mike asks cocking his head to the side

"Mmhm I can't even figure out this" I say gesturing to myself

"Maybe you need me to help you guide yourself through this journey" Mike says raising an eyebrow

"Never going to happen Ruthford. But nice tr-" Diane interject my rant

"Sorry but dinners ready, you can meet the rest of the family now" Diane winks. Crap.
