The Weretiger's Curse

Chapter seventeen

Part one

Tracy

Dinner went well last night, we all decided it was best to just have a little normalcy and talk about all the crazy stuff tomorrow. We all got to know eachoter a little bit better.

I was busy preparing Breakfast when Alec came down, he circled his arms around my waist and gave me a kiss in in the crook of my neck that made me shiver.

"Good morning love, hmm this smells delicious" he said and let go of me, I missed his closeness immediately.

I grabbed two plates and dished up still smiling, I put his plate infront of him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before I sat down with my own plate of food.

" I ran into Derek this morning when I went for a run, he said he and Isabella would be keeping you company today" he said and took a bite of his bacon.

" Yeah, there is so much I want to ask them and so much stuff I need to know I don't even know where to start" I couldn't contain my excitement.

"I am sure they are prepared for all your questions" he chuckled.

"I would love to stay with you today but I have to go to the office, I have a lot of pack stuff to catch up on" he said smiling at me.

I felt guilty because I knew it was because of me that he didn't get time to sort out pack issues. We ate in silent and when we were done I picked up our plates, rinsed it and put it in the dishwasher.

I felt him behind me and I turned around, his arms went around my waist immediately and I leaned closer to him, he kissed me and looked at me seriously.

"If anything and I mean anything happens, call me immediately" and with that he let go of me again and left.

I was sitting at the dining table, going trough some divorce documents when Derek and Isabella walked in. We greeted eachoter and I made coffee for us all. We walked outside and took sat outside on the patio, I didn't know where to start.

"Why did you leave me on some stranger's doorstep when I was born?" Was the first thing that came out.

Isabella's expression saddened when she looked at me.

"We never left you on a doorstep Tracy, when we found out that we were expecting you, we were so happy, we couldn't wait for you to be born but unfortunately we made some enemies throughout our lives and one of them got word that I was expecting. We received threats that they would come to kill you as soon as you were born, at first we thought if we went into hiding, change our names and everything about us that we could keep you and keep you safe but it didn't work. They found us despite everything, so one night when you were seven days old me and your father decided to do something that broke our hearts. We visited a woman we got acquainted with while I was expecting you, we asked her to look after you and explained why we had to leave you. She promised us that she would take care of you and when you were old enough to understand that she would tell you about us and if you wanted to find us that she would help you. Six years later we decided to visit her and just see how you were doing but when we got to her house there wasn't anything there. We asked around and we heard that the woman was murdered and they never found you so we searched for ten years Tracy, but never found a single clue to where you were. We accepted the fact that you were dead. When Alec called us we couldn't believe it, we couldn't believe that our little girl was still alive after all these years." Tears were flowing freely from Isabellas face and Derek looked pained.

"What happened to you Tracy?" Derek asked.

I knew it was now or never. Maybe telling them everything would lighten the pain and memories that was haunting me. I never told anyone everything that happened to me. I told Emily some things but I could never bring myself to tell everything.

"I remembered living with Marah, she was nice and sweet and one day when we got home from the shops there were men waiting outside, she told me to run and I remember panicking and doing as she said but I didn't run for long before a hand grabbed me and thrown me in a car. I woke up crying and a woman came into the room I was put in. She told me that she was my mother but I knew she wasn't because Marah told me that my momma and dadda had to go away to protect me and will come and get me when I was older, she showed me a picture of you and I memorized how you looked, funny that I forgot after a few years. Anyway, she kept me locked in that room untill I agreed to call her mother, later on I did, just to get out of that room. I then met john, her husband and I was to call him father, he never liked me and always gave me evil glares. Mother treated me well but she died when I was twelve and thats when all the bad stuff happened"

I had to take a breath and collect my thoughts, I needed to tell them everything no matter how hard it was, if I could tell them it would make things easier for me when I decided to tell Alec.
