The Edge (On Hold)

Part 9: Bite me

 (Try guess)

Variel POV

My head spun with confusement at this moment.

First, Darius's mood swing. Then acting weird with Miley, then taking me out of school to the woods! And now asking me how long I have known my family? What kind of game is this?

"Let me make this easier for you." Darius says, as if he knows that I am feeling confused. "Who is in your family?"

I close my eyes. The one question he had to ask.

"Any other questions?"

He gives me a weird look before glancing at Noah.

"We can only continue if you answer." He said rather calmly.

"Well I don't really want to answer so is that it? If the case, I'll be leaving." I don't see why I should tell him and Noah about my dad. I barely know Darius and I only met Noah.

"Please Variel. It is important we know." Noah says as Darius sighs.

"Its just my mum and I." I say quickly. Darius is quick to answer.

"Your father?"

I give him a sour look. "He's dead." Darius's face doesn't change. But his eyes do. They flicker red, but I'm sure I am just imagining things.

Noah approached more gently. "I'm sorry to ask, but when exactly?"

My voice catches in my throat as I swallow. "4 years ago."

Darius POV

4 years ago. Her words echo in my mind. That is the exact same time as my father died. Too much of a coincidence. If we were humans it would be just that. But I'm not human. And I don't believe Variel is either, she just doesn't know it. Let me explain, seeing as you are most likely confused if you haven't figured this out already.

Well, I'm a werewolf. The Alpha of my pack. Noah is my beta and we and a few others are here to look for someone. Someone who I didn't even know existed until a couple weeks go. This person is my half sister. And Noah and I think that it is highly likely that it is the person we are questioning now. Variel Devlin. Except if this is my half sister, that won't be her real name. Since we are only early in this investigation, only a few of the wolves we brought with us know about this. Noah, Miley and my younger cousin Monte who also came with us. The rest of the wolves are still on the look out for my half sister. And if this... Questioning ends up proving Variel is my half sister I guess we will have to tell hem all.

Anyways, the coincidence with her 'father' dying four years ago, is the fact that we have the same father, and my mother told me that he still kept in touch with the mother of his other child secretly so I, or anyone else would find out.

Variel looked very uncomfortable after she told Noah and I how long ago he died. That's when I noticed her eyes. My fathers eyes that I didn't inherit. Crystal blue. That's when I knew it was true. This was enough proof, this and the weird mind link I had with her, where I can sense a little of what she is thinking...

I look at Noah and use our mind link to communicate.

It's her. She has our fathers eyes. Noah looks confused.

Are you sure Darius? We can't make a mistake with this, you know what will happen if this isn't her...

Of course I'm sure its her Noah! Not just the eyes, the weird mind link and the death date!

Whatever you say, Darius... Noah rolls his eyes.

I growl, That's Alpha to you Beta. Send out a message to everyone and tell them to meet us at the dark point. I will explain this to Variel..

Yes...Alpha

While we were having our silent conversation Variel was looking at us confused. I turn to her as Noah walks away from us to avoid attention.

"Well, this has been interesting. And it is about to get even more interesting."

Her eyes widen a little, in fear? Why the heck is she scared? Oh, wait probably that slip with that girl, what was her name? Angeline? Does she seriously think I killed her? Wow, her mind is so, well untrained to look for lies. I guess that is what happens when you are raised away from your pack and you don't know you are a werewolf.

I sigh. "You do know that I didn't kill Angeline right? You don't actually think I'm going to kill you do you?"

Her eyes widen even more and I grin. I must have guessed right.

"Umm, well no but-" She cuts off suddenly. "Wait, how did you know I was thinking that? I defiantly didn't say that aloud!"

Her confusion is so entertaining I am tempted to continue reading her mind but I cut the connection off, blocking it.

"All in due time Variel but now I think its time I showed you something." I stand up and begin to walk away. I glance at Noah and he nods at me and comes to stand with Variel so he can explain quickly when she sees me.

I quickly get out of sight and quickly organised myself before I shifted. It had been a while since I had run and it felt good to finally stretch my legs as I take lazy strides back to where Variel and Noah are. My wolf, Blade is eager to go full pace but I hold him back, I don't want to scare my half sister off already. I come into view and chuckle at her reaction as I sit in front of her.

Variel POV

I literally would have run if Noah hadn't suddenly gotten hold of my shoulders and forced me to face the gigantic black wolf with hints of lighter fur. I screamed but it was quickly cut off by Noah's hand.

"Variel! Relax! Its just Darius!" I hesitate, I might have only known Noah for a couple hours but had already learnt he wasn't one to really lie. As I silence he takes his hand away from my mouth before releasing me.

The wolf has amber eyes, unlike Darius's dark ones. That is when it hits me. Werewolves. I feel myself wanting to scream again, but I shove it down as I meet the playful wolf's eyes. My mind is still spinning with how this is happening but for some strange reason I feel myself begin to calm down.

I turn to Noah.

"Well, you had your turn at asking questions, now its mine."
