Run Like You Mean It (Berlin wolves series)

Chapter 16

~~Lia's POV~~

We pulled into Brian's driveway and walked into the house. Immeadiatly two girls ran up with folders and started talking a mile a minute to him. He stopped them and turned to me.

"Lia, this is my assistants Alina Camryn and India Brooks. Girls this is Lia. Lia these two girls are at your service; if you need anything just ask them," Brian said smiling.

We walked into the den where everyone stopped in their tracks at the sight. A guy in boxers and a t-shirt was standing on the couch playing Guitar Hero. Brian cleared his throat and the guy turned around. When he saw me he dropped his guitar and his mouth was wide open.

"Cory you're drooling. Lia this is my right hand man, Cory Sammuels. Cory you know the pack. But Cory this is Lia, my coiusin," Brian said.

Cory walked over to me and just starred. I looked down and blushed.

"Why dont you go put on some pants and then you can catch up with the guys later, " Brian told him gesturing down the hallway.

Cory's cheeks turned pink as he walked into what I supposed was his bedroom. We all went into the living room and turned on the news.

'In our top stories today there have been wolf sightings in the eastern part of Georgia today. We have had several pictures turned in today from several wittnesses, ' The news reporter said as the pictured of us popped up.

I groaned and leaned my head back on the couch.

'We now go live to reporter Natalie Treamer who is in the town today.'

'Thanks Kathy. I am here in the town of Portsmith, Georgia where only hours ago several wolves jumped out of the trees and into the town today. We have a wittness here today willing to talk to us today. Sir, could you please tell me what you say today?"

"Well I was standing on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street when these four wolves jumped out of the trees. But they didnt look like ordinary wiolves, they looked much bigger and they where weird colors. Not the colors you expected wolves to be.' The old man said into the camera.

'Well there you have it people. The supernatural have come out to play. Back to you Kathy'

'Well I bet it was an interesting day for those people. Anyway, if you have any information on these wolves please contact the local police department or nearesr animal control.'

"Let's lock our doors tonight why dont we? Hahaha. Well in the world of sports today-' Brian tunred off the T.V.

"Well today was interesting. I think I'm going to get something to eat out of the kitchen," Shane said.

I hadnt talked to him in a while so I decided to follow him into the kitchen.

"Hey Shane," I said smiling as we raided the fridge.

"Hey. How are you holding up?" He asked me pulling out several containers.

"As much as I can with all that's going on," I said with a shy smile.

  "I underestimated you. You're stronger than you think. But I do have one question for you," Shane said setting the Coke on the table.

    "Yeah," I replied.

"Do you think Chase is still alive? I mean they could have just captured him and not killed him," He said taking a deep breath.

  I didnt reply at first but after thinking about it I knew what I was going to say.

   "I honestly dont know. Chase has been my best friend since kindergarten and losing him would crush me, but I dont know whether I want to believe that he is alive or he isnt. I wouldnt be able to even describe what they might do to him if he was alive. If he is dead it's probably for the best," I said stopping and taking a breath. 

  Shane didnt say anything to what I had said but he just looked at me looking for some sign of vulnrability. I wasnt going to show any. Not to him anyway.

   "You know what Shane, I'm not that hungry anymore. I'm gonna go back out with the rest of them. I'll talk to you later," I said and walked out before he could say anything.

  I was walking down the hallway when I heard voices on the otherside of a door to my left. I knew it was rude to evesdrop but I just couldnt help it.

   "She needs to be more carefull. If Scar catches her it will be the end of us all. Her parents have some of the most important information in werewolf history," A deep voice said.

   "They have an ally on their side....," Someone said.

There was a tense pause in his voice.

   "One of her friends...Chase Wilde," The deep voice said again.

So he is alive!

  "And she has no idea that he is still alive correct?" A new voice said quietly.

"Yes. He was helping Scar the whole entire time. He is not a werwolf but he knows about them. He also knows that Lia's grandmother has the copy of the information," The deep voice said again.

  My grandmother?

    "Do his parents know about him, Jazz?" A female voice said.

So the guy with the deep voice's name is Jazz. Interesting.

   "No. They have no idea, Rose. Another issue we have is the whole town display earlier today. We are on the news! This is not a good thing. We are being too exposed to the public. Very few people know about us and now, if people start thinking, they are going to figure out that we are real. This is very bad...the concil will not be happy at all. I'm surprised that they aren't here already," Jazz said sighing. 

  I backed away from the door a little bit until I heard my name again. 

   "Did you hear about Lia's mate issue? Beck Night was supposed to be her mate....but for whatever reason the fates changed their minds at the last second. Alec is now her mate," Rose asked.

  " How is that possible? Once the fates choose your mate even they can't change it," Jazz said sounding surpirsed.

  "Apparently she is destined to do great things with Alec. If they fates disobeyed their own laws for her, she has to be someone important," The other voice said who everyone seemed to keep quiet about.

I backed away from the door and thought about all the things I had heard. Chase was still alive....I was apparently destined for something great, and Beck was suposed to be my mate. Not to mention that my grandmother who I didnt even know was alive, had some important information about werewolves.
