Silent Howl

Chapter 10

I woke to the sound of birds chirping out the window and the warm sunlight beaming in on me in Amelia's cold room. All of us fell asleep huddled up on the floor from the movie that we had watched last night. The tv is just a blue screen due to the movie being over. I looked around the room to take in my surroundings.

Looking around seeing her white walled room with white fluffy carpeting along with her giant vanity mirror hanging on her wall. She has pictures all over her wall above her teal colored bed with a white leather bed frame. Her huge 60" flat screen tv hanging on the wall above her surround sound set up and DVD player.

I like to take the time to take photographs in my mind to remember the good times. I look over at the girls to see them drooling on their pillows. The thought hit me, wow. I actually have friends who want to hang around me. I always wonder what my life would have been like if I didn't escape that hell or if I hadn't been found. I would probably be dead by now.

My mind then turned to Blake and mines conversation last night.

"We'll have to wait and see."

Does he really think I could be his mate? He seems like a total player. I mean he sleeps around with other girls.. I know he said that he didn't think he would have a mate but.. what about if I turn out to be his mate? I don't think I would be okay with that he didn't wait.. So do I want him to be my mate..?

"You're gonna get yourself worked up if you keep overthinking." I look over to see Reagan rubbing her eyes.

"Did I wake you?" I asked.

"No. My fucking mate is screaming at me through my mindlink to wake up for school." She said as she rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Reagan, can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah, what's up M."  She stated as she searched through Amelia's closet.

"Did you know that Matt was your mate before you turned 18." I questioned.

She let out a big sigh before she continued.

"Ever since we were pups I've always had this attraction towards him. Deep down I felt like he was my mate but I wasn't so sure. Matt was engaged to this girl during our sophomore year. They were determined that they were in fact mates so they were waiting until they turned 18 to when the mating signs would show. When they both hit 18, no mating signs came and they were disappointed. But sometimes, you need something to push the mating signs out. That depends on who your descendants of.  They tried and tried but nothing came up. It wasn't until my 18th birthday, I had a pool party and I came out in my bikini. Matt caught one glimpse of me and he claimed me as his." She said with so much emotion in her voice.

"Why, is this about Blake?" She asked raising a brow.

"Yeah.. I'm just confused. Part of me kinda feels like I have some kind of connection with him but it won't acknowledge what kind of connection. But even if we are mates, he's been fucking around with other girls. That would absolutely hurt me if I found out that we are mates."

All of a sudden Reagan grabs a book and throws it and it hits my in the face.

"Ouch. Reagan! What was that about?" I said rubbing my head.

"It doesn't matter. It's already happened and its in the past." She shrugged.

"Yeah but my head still hurts!" 

"Ah, yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it you can either run from it or.. learn from it." She said as she thought.

"... Did you really just quote lion king?" Amelia and Hailey both said laughing.
