Twenty-One

Bella, Bella's father John and Emily and her father Roger were sitting at the dining table and eating their dinner.

Bella and Emily shared a look and they knew it was time. Julian had mind linked Emily. Bella cleared her throat "Dad, uncle Roger, we'd like you to meet someone." As she said it the doorbell rang and Emily ran to the door happily.

The two men's eyebrows furrowed when they spotted the two brooding alpha's coming into the dining room.

"Alpha Julian. Alpha Ethan." Roger said, oblivious to the fact that Bella still "doesn't know".

John elbowed him slightly in the ribs and just bowed slightly. The two girls stifled a laugh while the two men beside them looked very serious.

"How do you know them, Bella?" John asked narrowing his eyes at her.
She sucked in a breath and said with a shaky voice "H-he's my mate."

John blinked.

Once.

Twice.

And the third time.

"You know?" He whispered. He sat down and started blinking again. "How-" she interrupted him.

"Dad. Please calm down. They told me when I found out Ethan was my mate. It's okay. I'm not mad at you." She said with a slight smile.

His eyes widened "Ethan is your mate?" She nodded slowly "Why?"

He looked at her with sad eyes "Bella, you do get that when a male werewolf finds his mate, if she's in a different pack she has to transfer to his pack.." he trailed off.

She made an "o" face. She looked up at Ethan as he seemed to be deep in thought. "How are you not shaken up by any of this?" John asked making her bring her attention back to him.

"I don't really know to be honest. I guess it didn't kick in yet." He nodded.

"Well then, would you like to join us for dinner, gentlemen?" Roger spoke for the first time since they came, and gestured towards the table with his arm.
