Wolves Of Secrets Book 2

Round Two

The next morning things seemed to had settled down and were returning to normal for the pack. Kai was going to be stuck in a cast for the next six weeks and would need to use crutches to get around, but at least he didn't lose his foot, or so Skylor kept saying. She had been all too keen to tell them all stories about brave werewolves who had been caught in traps and had to chew their own limbs off to escape. She'd been telling them these stories until Nya managed to distract her by showing her a washing machine.

Needless to say, no one got any sleep that night, least of all Cole and Kai.

Cole had spent the night at Kai and Nya's apartment in the spare room, Ray and Maya didn't want him spending the night in the same room as Kai and neither of them argued. As Cole and Kai snuggled on the couch, watching TV as they enjoyed their breakfast, Ray reluctantly walked over to talk to them.

"Listen, Cole, Maya and I were thinking we should call your father over."

"For what? Round two?" Kai glared.

"No, to talk." He sighed. "It's fine staying over for a few days but we can't go on like this forever."

"Yeah, but you saw what my Dad was like yesterday."

"Well he would have slept on it and he's hopefully calmer." He reassured and went to make the call while Cole and Kai shared uneasy looks...

****************

While Ray was trying to convince Lou to come over and talk, Maya had driven all the way to Ed and Edna's junkyard to pay for the gas Jay and Nya had used when they took her parents' vehicles. As she entered the junkyard she saw them talking to Chad and his father Randall about scrapping their old car. Maya knew that Chad was one of his children's frequent bullies and once she and Ray had confronted his parents about his behavior.

Unfortunately, it didn't take them long to see where the jock got his attitude from.

She considered leaving and coming back later but that option disappeared as soon as the teen and his father saw her by the entrance, smug grins quickly growing on their faces. At first, Maya wanted to run and hide, but shook the feeling off and walked into the junkyard. She had nothing to be ashamed of and neither did her family or Cole.

"Good morning!" She smiled cheerily as she approached Jay's parents.

"Hello dear, what can we do for you?" Edna beamed when she saw the fellow mother.

"Ah Mrs. Smith," Randell smirked as he stepped closer to her. "I heard yer son's home safe and sound."

"Yes, he is."

"If you don't mind me asking, what was the reason for his disappearance?" Chad asked with a smug grin.

"I-I just came to speak to Ed and Edna." She replied, trying to stay relaxed. When they realized she wasn't going to give them any gossip Randell scoffed and his smirk vanished.

"Ya can hardly pretend it's a well-kept secret yer son's gay." He huffed and Maya frozen as Chad laughed.

"Why don't you and I go over some of the paperwork?" Ed quickly suggested and led the father and son away and out of sight, leaving his wife and Maya to talk in private. As soon as they were alone, Edna placed a comforting hand on Maya's shoulders as the female werewolf attempted to hide her tears.

"Now Maya honey, how would you like a nice fresh pot of coffee?" She offered with a kind smile. Maya could only nod, not trusting her voice, and allowed Edna to lead her into the trailer where she sat down and watched Edna make them some coffee. They sat there in silence for a few minutes before Edna put her cup down and cleared her throat.
