Wolves Of Secrets Book 2

Betrayal

It had been three days since they had chased Chen and Clouse off their territory and things seemed to be settling down again how long for was the question on everyone's mind. Well, almost everyone. Cole and Kai had started dating ever since their kiss in Kai's bedroom but they had both decided to keep their relationship on the down-low for as long as possible. They were too scared at how their friends and families would react to the news that not only were they gay but they were also dating each other.

Out of everyone they were mostly scared of telling their parents.

Cole's father already didn't like Kai, calling him a bad influence on his son, and had on more than one occasion told Cole to cut ties with the Smith family. It had only gotten worse since he and Kai had gotten arrested on a full moon. Kai's parents hadn't really had a problem with Cole but Kai still didn't want to tell them. They would both be devastated. Almost all his life, Kai's parents, mainly his mother, had been telling him he would find the perfect WOMAN to spend the rest of his life with and have a family.

The last thing he wanted was to break his parents' of his sister's hearts.

After they had become a couple Kai finally admitted to Cole that they had slept together at the Amare festival, but Cole had quickly told him that he already knew. That had left them feeling a bit awkward but they had managed to laugh about it. They didn't want to say anything about their relationship, especially with what was going on with Morro and the Garmadons. They had all been shocked by the news that Morro was being forced to move back in with his foster parents.

It wasn't the Garmadon family's fault though.

Social services had made that decision for some reason. Ray and Maya hoped all this business with Morro and Skylor didn't ruin their day out. They had decided a few weeks ago to take their children to the newly reopened Mega Monster Amusement Park. After some persuasion, the siblings had managed to convince their parents to allow Cole, Pixel, and Zane to come as well. The others had wanted to come as well but they had other plans.

Jay was spending the day with his mother, collecting new seashells for her on the beach, and Misako and Wu had said no to Lloyd coming for some unknown reason.

Ray and Maya still didn't trust Skylor, especially not since Chen and Clouse returned. Morro wanted to come as well but according to Ray, he had to reacquaint himself with the Dobsons. As the kids sat in the back of the car talking about what rides they were going to go one first, Maya was enjoying the view while Ray drove them to the amusement park. No one noticed Kai and Cole lovingly holding each others' hands under their winter coats.

Pixel was sat with her laptop on her lap, trying to finish some homework early as usual.

"What's wrong honey?" Maya asked when she saw the confused look on her husband's face.

"I have a feeling... that we've taken the wrong turn." He gulped as everyone groaned in frustration. They drove around until they found themselves in a small village none of them recognized. Realizing they were running low on gas, Ray quickly pulled up to a gas station/convenience store named 'The Gilliflower'. It appeared to be empty aside from a tow truck parked down the side. While he and his wife filled the tank, the kids went inside to see what snacks they could buy.

Behind the counter was a man with a name tag that said his name was Thomas Taing.

He was a man who looked a little older than Ray with medium length grey hair that was balding at the front, giving him a large forehead. He had dark brown eyes behind a pair of thick black glasses. He was wearing dark grey overalls with large brown boots. On the counter next to him was a bright yellow flower in a shiny white plant pot.
