"Why am I hearing that you've been hanging out with a Werewolf ?" My Mom asked.
Oh shit... who told her ? And most importantly, why ?
"Who told you that ?" I asked trying not to sound nervous, I glanced over at Calum but he was too busy throwing paper across the room.
Seriously ?
"One of your friends did, he was really concerned that you were going down the wrong path." Mom said. "Is it true ?"
Wait, my friend ? Luke ? No. No. He was with us the entire time it couldn't have been him.
"Which friend are you talking about Mom ?" I asked.
"Michael of course, I actually ran into him at the hospital." Mom replied, my stomach dropped. "He was so kind to bring flowers to your Dad."
Michael ? Fucking Michael ? He wasn't my friend and what the hell is he up to ?
"Mom, Michael isn't my friend." I said carefully. "He's trouble."
Calum looked up at me, his brow creased with concern.
"What do you mean ?" Mom said concerned. "Hailey what is going on ?"
I nearly jumped when I heard a banging at the front door. I looked at Calum wide eyed and he got up to see who was banging.
"Mom I got to go, but please if he comes back." I pleaded. "Don't let him anywhere near Dad."
I hung up before she could respond and followed Calum to the front door to see Luke once again in a huff. His hair was matted with sweat and he had a bruise on his temple.
"Luke what happened to you ?" I asked, he almost tripped but me and Calum caught him and helped him inside.
Calum shut the door and I helped Luke onto the couch so he could catch his breath. With closer inspection, I could see that the bruise to the temple wasn't the only one he had..
"Was it the Warlock Coven ?" Calum asked and Luke slowly nodded his head.
Why would they attack Luke ? What could they possibly gain from it ? I mean he knew next to nothing about the scepter. But he was my friend and that's all that mattered to them.
"Michael's friends payed me a visit and beat me up when I refused to tell them where you were." Luke said, holding his head.
I went to grab some ice and put some in a cloth and offered it to Luke, he thanked me and held it to his head.
"We need to get you to a doctor, that doesn't look too good.." I started but Luke stopped me.
"I'm fine, Princess. Just worry about your safety." Luke replied. "They told me, Michael is planning something soon and this was only the beginning.."
That sounded ominous... What could that mean ? And why would they tell Luke that if they didn't want us to have a heads up ? Unless...that's apart of the plan..
"We need to get that scepter tomorrow." Calum said. "If we have it in our possession, it should buy us some time to figure out a plan."
We agreed but then headlights coming into the windows made us all go still, please tell me that's not them again... I got up and peeped through the blinds, it was my Brother's truck.
"It's my brother.." I said quietly. "What should we do ?"
"Just act natural." Calum stated. "He doesn't know anything."
The front door opened and he stopped when he saw me,Luke and Calum in the living room.
"Well, look who finally rolled in." Kaden said sarcastically. "Where have you been ? And who the hell is he ?"
Calum stood there fidgeting uncomfortably, I knew why...
"He's my friend, I've been hanging with him and Luke." I said cooly.
Kaden looked at us suspiciously, not seeming to buy it but he didn't push it any further.
"We'll talk in the morning, I'm too tired to ask questions right now." Kaden said, yawning as he headed upstairs.
I sighed in relief, phew ! That was close.
"Thank god it wasn't a full moon or Calum totally would've exposed himself." Luke joked.
Calum shook his head and started for the door but I stopped him.
"Where are you going ?" I asked worried Kaden might've scared him off.
"I can't stay here with your brother sleeping upstairs, I'll just go home and come back in the morning.." Calum said, I sighed but didn't fight him.
If my brother found out what Calum is, he'd kill him. I couldn't let that happen, not with everything that's happened.
"Stay safe." I plead, he hugs me and places a kiss on my cheek.
"Of course." Calum smiled and he left my house and it felt emptier the moment he was gone.
I looked over at Luke who was already fast asleep on the couch, I sighed and covered him with a blanket. I felt awful that he was attacked because they were trying to get to me.
I made sure the door was locked before heading upstairs to get some rest. Of course i was restless most the night. All I could think about was The Warlock coven and the Werewolf pack.
Which one was truly the enemy ? Which one should I worry about more ? I eventually managed to fall asleep and dreamed of Calum.
A loud noise later woke me out of my slumber and I nearly fell out of my bed, what the ?
Footsteps rushing to my room stopped at my doorway when Kaden rushed in with Luke. It was 3:00 am, seriously why does creepy shit happen at this time ?
"I think someone is trying to break in." Kaden said. "I need you to stay here, Luke don't let her leave your sight."
And Kaden grabbed my bat and rushed out of my room. I found myself worried that whoever or whatever it was could hurt him but I knew I was not going to win a fight against whoever was out there.
"Hey, it's going to be ok." Luke cooed as he pulled me for a hug. "I'm sure your brother knows what he's doing."
Yeah he did, but against the coven or a angry wolf pack ? I wasn't so sure... All was silent and we waited in anticipation for Kaden to come back. Until something smashed through my window.
And smoke flooded the room.
