WereWolves

Chapter 12: Ache

I park my car and head inside ready to start the day with some coffee and my friends. I'm really tired today for some reason, and Timber was being a little weird. I push the thought away as I walk through the diner, I don't even need to look at Fern wailing her hands around in the air to show me where their sitting, I didn't need it because Jax was here already, his scent invading my brain.

I walk over to the booth they're sitting at and slide in next to Miles. "Your late, Feo!" Fern says in a sing-song voice. "I know, I know! I have a bad migraine, okay! Jeez, I'm like two minutes late," I explain to her. "Two minutes can cost you a lifetime!" she says wisely. "Anyway, what's wrong this you?" I ask Miles seeing his head down on the table.

"You don't feel it?" he asks looking up, surprised. "Feel what?" I ask a little confused. "I mean I'm pretty tired today-" I add but get cut off. Miles bangs his head on the table, "I can't believe you don't feel it, you guys are crazy!" he mumbles. "Come on, Miles yours is just worse cause your younger," Jax says referring to the fact Miles is 3 months younger.

"What are y'all talking about?" I question, confused. "The ache of the moon, it's when are wolves are pushed out forcefully," he explains. "That's why I have a migraine?" I ask. "Yep," he says popping the p. "Yeah, so can we please, STOP TALKING!" Miles says putting his head back down. "If this is happening to you guys, why isn't it hap-" I pause, my gums start to throb terribly. "Are you okay, babe?" Jax asks with a concerning look.  "Yeah, um... my gums just hurt," I say mindlessly touching them with my tongue. "We can go to my house and watch a movie?" Jax proposes. "YES!" Fern squeals.  "Ahh! Stop, no squealing!" Miles says, grinding his teeth together. "Okay, let's go," I say making Miles get out of the booth. " Miles, do you need a ride?" I ask him. "Yes please!" He says as we walk out the door to my truck.

"Do you guys want popcorn?" Jax asks. "Yes!" both Miles and Fern say. "I'll help," I say getting up with him. "If you two go together, I will never see that popcorn," Miles says, Fern giggles. "I have nothing to add," Jax says, leading me to the kitchen. I blush, probably red like a strawberry. Jax grabs the popcorn and puts it in the microwave as I get out the bowls. "You know... he wasn't wrong," Jax says pulling me to him. I turn around to face him and my lips eminently meet his in a soft loving kiss. "Jaxson I-" the strange voice was interrupted by Jax's deep, furious, growl. "Dad..." I whip my head around to whom I guess is Jax's father. The pain that soothed at Jax's touch starts to throb again but more painfully.

 I suppress a whimper from coming out of my mouth as the popcorn is done in the microwave. Jax puts the popcorn in the bowls and drags me out of the living room with him, his dad following us. I watch as my hands start to shake but this time I fail to stop the whimper from escaping my mouth. I quickly cover my hand over my lips but it just makes it hurt more. "Princess?" Jax looks at me with eyes of concern. "I- 'm fine," I stutter, trying to reassure him. "Has anyone ever told you, you have alpha blood? Oh, I'm Jax's father, but you can just call me Mr. Wood," he says. "Obviously I'm Feo, Jax's mate. And no, no one ever told me that," I respond. "Finally, popcorn! Oh, hi Mr. Wood!" Miles says. "Hello, Miles," Mr. Wood greets him. "I'm Fern, a friend of theirs, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wood!" Fern introduces herself. "I forgot to mention that my parents are human..." I add. "Okay, well that will be a fun talk," Mr. Wood laughs out.

When we get inside after shifting for the Ache of the Moon, I plop down on the couch with Jax next to me. I crawl into his open arms, he pulls me to him cupping my face and kisses me passionately. I snuggle to him, both of us breathing in the other's scent. "I'm going to the pack house tomorrow, do you wanna come?" he asks me. "Yeah, sure I haven't seen Ebony in a while," I think. His eyes widen, " You know Ebony?" "Yeah, duh, how else do you think I joined the pack?" I ask. "Uh, well I don't know," I giggle at his answer. He shuts me up with a kiss, I let him deepen the kiss making it longer than intended. I hear a loud growl from the kitchen entrance. We pull away to see a tall man with dark brown hair and blue eyes that are now slightly yellow, well this isn't good. "Who are you?" he says through gritted teeth. "You need to calm down before I tell you anything," I say trying to calm down the mystery guy so he doesn't shift. "I think I have every right to know who my brother is with," he responds, bitting back another growl. "Calm down Cole its just Feo," Jax introduces me. I really look at him this time and see that he and Jax look really similar. "Your Cole?" I ask. "Your Feo?" he mocks me in a sarcastic voice, meant for me to laugh. I laugh at his impression."I've heard much about you from my brothers babbling mouth," he says. "Oh, you and I will get along just fine," Jax shoots me a mock scowl. 

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, I fish it out of my back pocket and answer it. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" I hear my dads voice yell through my phone. I wince and pull the phone away from my ear quickly. I put the phone down and look around the room for help. "Don't look at us, we don't have human parents!" Miles says with his hands up. I pick up my phone again and answer, "Jax's house with Miles and Fern, why?" I ask, playing dumb. "YOUR CURFUE IS 11:00 THAT'S WHY!" he yells. "I fell asleep during the movie and I just woke up, I was planning to stay at Fern's or something," I lie. There's a shuffle over the phone and I hear my mother's sweet voice. "See you tomorrow sweetheart," and with that, she hangs up the phone. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in. "Your parents are human?" Cole asks. "Yep," I say popping the p. "Good luck with that," he laughs out. "Mhm.," Jax says. "That's gonna be a problem, princess,"
