Secrets

Chapter 5: Golden Eyes

Damon p.o.v

        "Mom I need to speak to you and aunt Natalie privately" I told them as I set Camilla down on a infirmary table. The pack doctor quickly began to access her wound.

       "Okay" my mom replied a little worried. They followed me out and up the stairs. I needed to get them away from all ears listening in on our conversation.

        Once we were out of ear shot of any passbyers I turn to them and sigh. I knew the first people I would have to consult in this matter would be my mom and Aunt Natalie since Camilla was her daughter. I still can't get this feel away from me. She's my cousin! How can we possibly be mates. 

        "Mom, Aunt Natalie what I'm about to tell you may be a big shock. I need to know what to do next" I said facing them both. I made sure to put up a more serious front with them so they knew I meant business.

        "Okay Damon just spit it out" My mom said. She wanted to be back in there to make sure Camilla was comfortable. I can see Aunt Natalie focus was on the door waiting for a release to run back to her daughter side. 

        "When I went to pick Camilla up to carry her back her the most bizarre thing happen. The mating tingles happen and then my wolf confirmed it"  I said. Aunt Natalie head snap to me. Her eyes widen in shock to the words that happen to come out of my mouth. Mom had a stern face in deep thought. 

        "Impossible! How can that be! You're cousins" Aunt Natlie said walking forward. Mom grab her shoulder before sighing. 

        "Then he spoke the truth" she said walking to the nearby window. 

        "What do you mean Mariah!" Aunt Natalie yelled. I was curios to what she was holding back. Mom never keeps anything from me.

        "The morning after you said 'he' left, he came here to tel me some stuff. At the time I didn't know he was planning to leave y'all. He told me some stuff he said he told Camilla that night before. He told me that Camilla wasn't your biological daughter. She isn't human either, and is like her father and real mother. He manipulated your mind into believing Camilla whole birth. Ashley is your true daughter though" Mom explained.

        That means Camilla was never my true cousin by blood? 

        "I can't believe. I always knew Camilla was different. She look to much like him. She was faster, stronger, and more agile then the other kids, but I thought it was some of the werewolf blood from me running in her. If she not human what is she? Werewolf?" Aunt Natalie asked. 

        "She a species thought to be going extinct. There called Werecats and have the same abilities as werewolves, but instead of shifting into a big wolf they transform into a big cat" she said. 

        "You say Camilla knows of this?" Aunt Natalie asked. 

        "Yes I'm not sure how she doing knowing all this information though" mom said walking to the doors. 

        "Come on when she wakes up we'll question her more" mom said opening the door. We both followed her back to the infirmary. As we turned the corner the pack doctor was leaving the room and turn to face us. He could see the determined face of two female alphas and it made him shiver. 

        "Is she awake?" Aunt Natalie asked.

        "She just woke up. I advise you to be careful. There something off with the human" he warned walking away. Mom open the door where the medical bed was empty. 

        "Where is she?" I asked. I couldn't mask where she was due to her scent being everywhere.

        The I felt something drop on my back. I landed on my stomach letting  a gush of air pass my lips. 

        "Camilla?" I heard Aunt Natalie whispered. Looking up to the full body mirror on the other side of the room my breath hitched. Sitting on my back was Camilla, but not Camilla. Dark chocolate brown ears sat on her head match with a brown tail. Her golden eyes starred at me before she stood up and sat on the bed. 

        "Before you ask any questions this is not Camilla. I am her inner cat" she spoke sitting criss cross. The wound from earlier was gone and she seemed fine.

        "Let us speak with Camilla" mom said using some alpha magic. 

        "Tsk don't try the compelling shit on me. Camilla can't come out right now for her mind needs to rest, so I promised to take care of her body. Ask your questions" she spoke as if she was royalty.

        "You are a werecat right?" mom asked sitting in a nearby chair. Aunt Natalie took the same motive but I staid on the floor but sat criss crossed. 

        "Indeed we are. My spirit is really old from one of the originals. Also you boy on the ground it seems that your moon goddess is testing your boundaries. I do want to warn you that Camilla is new to this stuff and I am slowly teaching her the ways of the supernatural. You must be patience if she freaks out with this. She already knows of the mating bond which surprised me, but you must see she is fragile. Hurt her and I will kill you" she growled at me. 

        Trust me I'm not a amateur at this stuff, but it's going to be weird. Maybe if I can see her as a normal friend maybe just maybe we can work. 

        "Your original meaning your transformed state is stronger then others?" mom asked eyes sparkling wanting to know every little detail. 

        "It not as strong as it use to be, but it has been awhile since I've been born with a soul of a pureblood" she commented picking at the shirt Camilla was wearing. Her back tensed as she sat up straighter. 

        "It seems Camilla ready to come out and play" she smirked as her ears and tails disappeared. Camilla blinked her eyes before they landed on each of us. She seem to be in deep thought possibly with her inner cat. Raisin her eyes they glowed golden before she stood up. 

        "Mom" she whispered stepping close before kneeling. Even if she wasn't Aunt Natalie true daughter she still saw her as that. Mother and daughter knelled on the floor hugging each other as Camilla began to cry saying how sorry she was from keeping the most important information away from her mom.
