My Darkest Secret

Chapter 2- Truly Happy

Hiya guys, this chapter should be an interesting one, fingers crossed. This should also be shorter than the last one. Hope you enjoy......

~~~~~~~~~~~~*°*°*~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mara's POV

As Maya ran off all I could do was sit their in shock and anger. She was a werewolf! And my mate had scared her off. That boy, honestly.

"Baby, you did realized her scent right?" I asked, slightly pissed. I needed a new friend, who wasn't a guy. Brody didn't understand and simply nodded. Sighing I began to elaborate,

"her scent didn't belong to a pack, but wasn't the same as a rouge. And she definitely has a higher rank than us, she was definitely powerful." Brody nodded slowly, processing this new information, the rest of the guys following suit.

"But she can't be a Luna or alpha, could she? We've never seen her before." He asked to which I simply shrugged. Just then I heard Xander's voice in my head

'Mara, have you seen the new girl? I need to speak to her. Especially if she is a werewolf like you said' he asked, clearly exhausted from football practice. 

'my amazing mate scared her off, but Xander, she's definitely a werewolf... But I don't think she knows about our world' I replied, telling my alpha what I knew, me being Beta female and all.

Xander was fairly young to be alpha but he had no choice, his parents were killed when he was only 16, leaving him incharge.

After getting no response from Xander I decided to just go on with my classes and get through the day. Not however before I kissed my mate, forgiving him for his stupidity. I loved him with all my heart, even the stupid bits of him. I only hoped Xander would find his soon. I could tell he both wanted and needed a mate, he was changing, becoming less and less friendly to others and more serious and angry.

Maya's POV

Night had long past fallen now, and I was still in wolf form, and Cora was still incharge. After suggesting that we should get home, I shifted back and slipped on a large hoodie I keep in my bag, before making my way to my current home, sneaking in through the window and getting in bed to sleep, but I couldn't. Cora was too excited. She had been going on and on all day about how on our 18th birthday everything would change,and that 'he' would come and help us. Who this 'he' was and how he would help, or why, I'm pretty screwed up. But in that moment all I wanted to do was sleep. So I did, Cora prancing around in her Wolfy form at the back of my head.
But soon darkness succumbed me, and with it another nightmare.

The nightmare finally ended with me drenched in sweat and paralysed in fear. Within my many foster homes, I was not always treated too well; and the thought of one man who had adopted me for the first 7 years of my life, imprisoned and tortured me for the majority of it, made me tremble.

It was now 5 in the morning, and I wasn't in the mood for more sleep, I decided to get up and make the most of my Saturday.

After quickly getting dressed in a black and navy blue hoodie and black leggings, I left the house after leaving a note on my door. I was trying to spend as long as I could away from these people. They may have fostered me but I didn't want them finding out about me and panicking. I didn't want to burden another group of people with my abnormality and make them think they were insane.

'We need to go to the woods. Now.' Cora suddenly demanded. I had never heard such urgency in her voice so I decided not to question it and just listen to her.

Once we had finally gotten into the forest I realized I still had know idea why we were here, or what we were going to do considering my book was still at school. 

'We can just walk around if you want, but we can't leave yet.' sighing I began climbing trees, jumping around. 

'You are the dancing queen, young and sweet only 17.' she began chanting the lyrics of the song, loudly, without pause and was prancing around with a Wolfy grin. Soon I became board of just walking around so I began singing along with her whilst giggling. This was perfect. Just us in the woods, relaxing. No panic or secrets, just us and nature.

Xander's POV

Aiden, my inner wolf was restless. All night he was making off noises and talking nonstop, I don't know why. And when he finally let me get some sleep He woke me up again by whimpering loudly. You see, because I am an Alpha, my wolf and I are stronger attached, making me stronger and faster and physically better in every way. The only downside being I can't block him out when I want to. Which at times is a complete pain in the arse.

'what's wrong Aiden? I was genuinely curious as to why he was so upset at 5 in the morning.... On a Saturday. He didn't answer, only just stopped whimpering and suddenly perked right up before saying 

'We are going to the woods, now. Don't question it. We both know I'm the powerful one in this relationship' he declared. was he weird- I'd gotten over it.

Not wanting to argue with him I began getting dressed listening to his crazy thoughts. He was oddly demanding, telling me to dress handsomely and to bring the sketchbook I'd found the day before, The one that belonged to the curious girl who had joined our 6th form. 

'MAYA, HER NAME WAS MAYA' Aiden howled loudly, startling me.

'Dude, you scared the shit out of me, don't do that you idiot' I complained to him before leaving my house. I used to live in the pack house with the rest of my pack but when my parents died, and I became Alpha, I moved out and into this place to have my own space and so that if I ever found my mate, we'd have privacy. But I was almost 19 soon, it being near the end of the year and me being one of the older people in the year, and I still haven't found her. I'm beginning to doubt I ever will.

As I got to the forest, I began roaming around because Aiden had suddenly become quiet, shocker, I know. Suddenly, an intoxicating smell filled my senses. I had to follow it. I just had to. As I came closer to it I heard the most angelic voice I had ever heard singing the lyrics of that song with that girl in it. I don't know, I'm not good at songs or anything like that. Then she let out a giggle that made me melt. Why did she have that effect on me?

As I got closer to the voice, I realized I couldn't see anyone. Then Aiden whined... He never whined. Ever. And that was the second time today. Then from above me I heard a rustling in the leaves.

Maya's POV

I was happy. For the first time in what felt like centuries, I was truly happy. No worries about keeping my true nature a secret.

I was so calm that I decided to show my 'true' eyes. You see although my human eyes are green, my real eyes, one that are a mark of my nature, are a shade of Purple. I was sat in a tree fairly high up, still singing along with Cora and still giggling. Suddenly Cora whimpered, causing me to look at the ground for danger, forgetting to conceal my eyes.

Xander's POV

Looking up to investigate, I saw her, the one who was singing. Her hair was a beautiful dark brown, that cascaded down her back, her face was beautiful and pale, and her eyes. Her eyes were the most stunning shade of purple. Hang on why were they purple, nevermind.

Suddenly she jumped down and looked at me, straight in the eye.
Aiden growled suddenly taking control of me and speaking with my voice, "Mate"

~~~~~~~~~~~~*°*°*~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow this chapter took a while. I know I said this would be shorter but I couldn't help myself 😂. Sorry about that. How do you think Maya will react, I don't think she knows about mates and Xander's seen her real eyes!! Why do you think they're different?
Anywho I would love it if you kept reading.☺️
Keep Safe, Charlotte 😘
