Colby Brock is my what?

Baby

Confusion.

Is the word that describes my feelings best right now.

This all is just so much to take in, my mind wants to stop working, but I know better than to freak out right now. I can do that later.

Not only am I confused but I also want to cry. I just learned that I had this supper connection with my grandma, whom I miss so much!

Growing up, she was one of the most important person in my life, even tho I didn't see her as much as I would have wanted.

My grandparents from my moms family died long ago, so I didn't get to connect with them, and my dad's dad is really reserved.

She was always there when I needed her. Her death was so sudden and totally unexpected.

It felt like part of me was ripped and thrown in the dark. Looks like it actually did.

"I have a theory" principal Denkins said gaining everyone's attention.
""What is it?" Colby was eager to ask.

The fact that the guy I've been fangirling over for about two years is my literal soulmate, has not entered my mind just yet, this is another thing added to my list of things to freak out over later.

"After I found out about April's situation" the principal started "I did some research, and found out that great pain, emotional or physical, before the first shift on your 14th birthday, can cause your wolf to recoil momentarily to save the pain".
"Shouldn't she have already came back then?" Sam was the one to ask.
"She should, but I believe that since her grandmother was the only wolf with a real connection to April's wolf, her wolf is afraid to come out and be alone".
"But now her wolf must have a connection to Colby's wolf" Kat states.
"Yes, so I believe that in the next few days, her wolf will slowly come back and she will shift eventually. Most probably won't be like the rest of us. She won't start the connection by directly shifting. She should start feeling her wolf try to break trough today."
"Is that right?" Colby asked turning to me "how is it baby, do you feel any different?"

OH MY GOD HE CALLED US BABY

"What the fuck? Who said that?" I asked barely having time to stand before falling on my knees and holding my head that was now pounding instead of just hurting like earlier.

While holding my throbbing head trying to stop the feeling of someone hitting my head with an axe, I could barely hear someone in the distance screaming my name.

The pain started to fade and just then I realized a pair of soft but strong arms holding me.

My breathing was erratic and I was shaking in the persons arms. Looking up, I realized that the arms were Colbys so i snuggled more into him, liking the warmth of his hug.

"What was that?" I asked as my breathing started to go back to normal.
"I think I must have triggered your wolf somehow" Colby said, giving no sign of discomfort with our position so I just stayed the way I was "Did she say anything?".
"S-Something about you calling us baby..." I trailed of, embarrassed. I hid my face on his chest as my face got red after hearing the others laugh. He lifted my head so I could look him in the eyes.
"There is no need to be embarrassed, your wolf just met her mate. My own wolf is acting like a pup." Colby chuckled.
"Yeah babes. If you could hear my wolf, you would feel totally normal." Lydia added making me remember something.
"Wait a minute young lady! We have a LOT to discuss" I said, getting off the floor and feeling those amazing tingles vanish as I put some distance between Colby and I. "Is Jason your mate?" I asked making she blush.
"Yeah" She said smiling sheepishly.
"Oh my god, I can't believe it! So if it wasn't him who hurt you, since he is your soulmate, then why didn't he say anything when I punched him?!" Remember when I said I hit him but with a good reason? Oh well, I guess it wasn't that good after all... "Now I have to find out who did it, can't you just tell me?"
"Hurt me? What are you talking about silly?"
"The freaking scar on your shoulder. I remember seeing it that night I went to pick you up at Jasons house after your date, and the next morning you had the tatoo covering it. I love the tatoo" It was the image of threes and a wolf "but I don't like much what it is hiding" As I finished, the group laughed again "What?"
"Babe, this is not a tatoo, and no one hurt me." I tilted my head to the side feeling the confusion spread "this is my mark, made by my mate, to show other wolfs I am mated" She smiled as she touch it.
"There are so many things about this werewolf stuff that confuses me" I complained.
"I have an idea" Lydia jumped up excitedly "how about we have a super sleep over tonight? You, me, Kat and Kira. Then we can chill together and answer all your questions."
"What about us?" Sam asked.
"Yeah" Colby added "I just found my mate, I don't want to let her go just yet." He pouted. He was just so cute, but I need to know more about my new life, and there are some questions I'd rather ask the girls.
"Colby, I really want to spend time with you" I saw in the corner of my eye Lydias smile fade a little "But I need a night with the girls so I can understand all of this" I waved my hands around a bit, and saw the full smile back in Lydias face With my answer "how about we spend the whole day tomorrow together? After class of course" I suggested.
"... Okay, I understand. But tomorrow you're all mine" He hesitated.
"Awesome!" I then turned to my mom "mom can I PLEASE have a sleepover?"
"Sure honey, is the least I can do, right?" She said guiltily

After that, the bell rang, so the girls and I said by to the boys, and went to find Kira to go back to my place.
