Saving Gracie

Chapter 17

Gracie POV

I wake up to see Luis sitting on the floor in front of me. I scream and hit him with a pillow. I hear an oof and a thud. "Jesus. Is this how you greet people?" he asks while rubbing his forehead. "No. Unless they're up in my face then it's one like donkey knog," I say giggling. "Anyways, where's Mom and Dad? Pack duties or what?" he asks. I feel my throat tightening and my eyes watering. "Hey what's wrong?" he asks. "You ask a lot of questions," I say hoarsely. "I guess. Where are they Gracie?" he asks again. "They died," I say as the tears start pouring down. I see his eyes widen and he collapse on the floor. "W-what- How?" he asks through his sobs. "T-they were k-killed by M-Melinda's pack," I say.

"I'm so sorry I haven't been here. I can't imagine the pain you were going through. When did they die?" He asks. I quieted my sobs and say, "They died on June 8, 2003."

"You were 5?"

"Yes. We were going on a p-picnic. If I didn't force them they would still be alive!!!" I scream as sobs racked my body. He hugs me tighter and says, "Some things are meant to be, but it wasn't very fair that Moon Goddess took them at that time," he says quietly. "W-what are you talking about?" I ask confused. "Gracie. Have you ever wondered why your wolf isn't gray like Dad or goldish like Mom's?" he says. "Yeah. My wolf is white with silver tips. Moon Goddess blessed me for the silver. I have no idea why I'm white though," I say.

"Your white because your rare. My wolf is gold with some gray. Gracie, you can control air and water. The white lets you control air and the silver was a blessing from Moon Goddess and it gives you the power to control water."

"No one has told me this."

"I figured. There is a prophecy about you saving everyone and becoming Queens of Luna's and your mate King of Alphas. You will have a rigorous road ahead of you though."

I can't believe this is happening to me. My parents death now this? "Why me?" I mumble. Of all freaking people, why me? "I couldn't have asked for a better Queen," Luis says. "Your smart, beautiful, strong, fast, and caring. Not to mention your confidence and courage," he says. I look at him and hug him. "Thank you Lu. I'm so glad I'm not alone anymore," I say truthfully. "No matter what happens, you will never be truly alone okay?" I nod my head and we stand up. I wipe my tears and straighten up my clothes. "C'mon. I can smell Mac & Cheese," I say. "Mmmmmm M&C," he says. I laugh and we head down.

I scream and launch myself at Luis. "YOU WILL NOT TAKE IT!!!!" I yell. "I WILL!!!! THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!" He yells back. I tackle him to the ground and we roll around. I tickle him everywhere and he tickles me everywhere while trying to reach for the remote. "I WANT IT!!!" I scream again.

"ITS MY TURN"

"NO IT ISNT"

"YOU'VE LIVED HERE SINCE YOU WERE BORN"

"True.......SO I GET THE REMOTE"

Me and Luis are lying on the floor pulling on each other as we try to get the remote. Jam comes into the living room and grabs the remote, turning it on the news. "Aww c'mon," me and Luis both say. Jam looks at me surprised and looks at Luis and shock was written all over his face. "L-Luis? Is that really you?" he asks. Luis smiles sheepishly and nods. Jam tackles him into a hug. "RICHARD. LUIS IS BACK," Jam screams. Soon enough, half the pack was in the living room with shock and happiness etched in their faces. I sat cris-crossed on the carpet with my back to the couch. "When were you planning on telling us?" Ric says as he looks at me. I shrug and smile, "I thought you'd figure it out from the pack," I say.

Everyone hugged Luis and me and him were pulled into my office. "Luis you have to know something," Ric says slowly. "Gracie told me they died Richard, it's okay," he says quietly. "That's not all," Jam says. I can see where this is leading so I grab the letter and give it to Luis. He pales and suddenly turns red. "She. Will. Not. Lay. A Damn Finger. On. Gracie," he says slowly. Ric and Jam nod in agreement. "Of course she won't. She will be heavily guarded at all times," Ric says and looks at me. I stare at him in disbelief, "I can protect myself damn fine," I say. "I know. But you'll be up against rouges and Melinda," Ric says. I cross my arms and pout. After they finish talking about me and the pack, I leave and make my way to the kitchen. I see Mar and Angie looking glum as ever. "Missing your mates?" I ask. They sigh and nod. "C'mon. We'll take my car," I say. Their faces light up and they rush towards the garage. I chuckle and grab my keys. "OMG Gracie thank you thank you thank you!!!" Angie screams. "Shhhhh!!! I'm not even allowed to leave without bodyguards," I state. Mar giggles and says, "Thank you truly Gracie."

We park a little into the woods but we can still see the beautiful peach mansion. It looks like it has three floors and a pool at the back because I hear some splashes and giggling. I lock the car and we make our way towards the entrance. I hear something on my left. "Mar! Angie! Down low kick!" I shout. I punch the person coming at me and Angie and Mar are on top of the others. More people pour out and we regroup and make a circle. "Holy cow. What the hell is this? A welcoming party?" Angie says. "C'mon girls. Let's show them what we're made of," Mar says. They come charging at us and we punch and kick at them. I was about to land a punch on a guy when I hear three voices. "What the hell??!?!" "You got your ass handed to you by girls!!!!" and "This is surprising." I look up, my fist still in position, to see Ryder, Carter, and Daniel. I connect eyes with Mar and Angie. Angie was straddling a guy about to punch him and Mar was about to kick someone. "Uhhh...Surprise?" I say. I notice Ryder was dripping wet along with Carter and Daniel. They must've been swimming until we came....oops. "What are guys doing?" Ryder asks. "Well we were gonna visit our mates but since it looks like your busy and don't want us here then we'll go right Gracie?" Mar says. I see three blonde girls in the smallest bikini's ever walk up to Ryder, Carter, and Daniel and wrap their filthy arms around their waist. I glare at her and my glare goes to Ryder. "C'mon baby. Let's go back to playing in the pool," she says 'seductively.' I growl and I see Angie and Mar coming to my sides. "It looks like your fucking busy huh?" Angie says. Mar is shaking in anger as I say, "It was way too good to be true." We sprint to my BMW and I ram the reverse and speed off. I see three guys trying to catch up but I sped up and turned into the road back to my pack house. Mar and Angie were in tears as I parked my at in the garage. As soon as I parked, three people rushed out of the garage door.
