Chapter 404
But here we are. Two strangers because that what we are strangers sitting in his kitchen drinking coffee. This didn’t feel like home, they may be family, but they weren’t family.
It was going to take time and effort for us to ever get to being daughter and dad. But maybe one day we’ll get there.
“We don’t really talk anymore”. I spoke. “Are you reading this on sobiẞ.o? If not, you’ve been misled! This content was lifted from our site. Head over to obiẞ. for genuine chapters, the latest updates, and exclusive releases.” “Things got weird real fast. They changed, she changed. Within weeks of being here my life turned upside down p>
“I had no idea”. He frowned. “And I’m sorry things have been so tough for you. I bet finding out that you’re a werewolf didn’t help p>
“About that how can I be a full blood when my mom was human?”. I asked.
He thought I didn’t notice but I did. His body stiffened; his eyebrows furrowed and suddenly he couldn’t seem to look me in the eye.
“Are you sure you don’t want something else to eat?”. He asked. “I do a mean grilled cheese sandwich, or we could go out to eat p>
“If you know something about my mom then please tell me”. I only knew what my gran told me. Of course, I was just a baby when my mom died so I couldn’t remember anything.
Pictures were all I had.
“I don’t know anything Leah. The moon goddess is a magical thing. Maybe you were meant to be full wolf p>
“You’re joking right p>
“Jake will be here soon. You can wait in here or you can wait in the lounge. I have some business I need to take care of p>
Now I knew he was hiding something. Why would he hide anything about my mom from me?
“I think I’ll wait outside”. I placed my cup on the table.
“Don’t be ridiculous it’s raining, and the temperature has dropped. You’ll end up sick p>
“Then tell me the truth, tell me what you’re hiding and why you’re suddenly in a rush to leave p>
“It’s not my story to tell Leah p>
So, he was hiding something from me. I couldn’t be bothered with anymore secrets. My life had been full of secrets and lies from the minute I got here. “Found this book interesting? If you’re not on Jobb.o, you’re missing the real experience. Someone’s copied this content! Visit obib.o for authentic, up-to-date information directly from us.” If he was another one that was going to fill my head with rubbish, then I wanted nothing to do with him.
I didn’t have the time or energy for anymore bullshit.
Wasn’t there anyone that could just be honest and open?
Why was I always the last one to know the truth?
“I’ve had enough”. I sighed. “It’s just secret after secret, lie and lie and I just can’t be bothered with it anymore”. I would wait outside whether it was raining or not.
“Wait”. He sighed as I reached the front door.
“No, it’s okay. You don’t want to tell me and that’s fine but I’m going to wait outside until Jake gets here”. I wasn’t going to guilt him into telling me. Like he said it wasn’t his story to tell. “I’m not going to stop you from leaving but I am going to say this. Talk to your gran p>
“Why would I need to talk to my gran?”. I asked.
“Because Leah, it’s her story to tell p>
“What p>
A sigh fell from his lips as he ran a hand over his face. “Your mom wasn’t human sweetheart. She too was a werewolf p>
My breath caught in my throat.
What? No, she, my gran was human, my gramps was human.
“You’re lying”. I spoke. “I my gran she. I don’t understand”. My whole life had been a lie. Everything was a lie.
“My grans a werewolf?”. I asked.
“No”. He shook his head. “But your grandfather is p>
WHAT?
“Is?”. My grandfather is dead. Well obviously, my gramps wasn’t my gramps. “I have to go”. My head felt like it was going to explode. I really knew nothing about my life, my family.
I had no idea who I was anymore.
I leaned against the front door once I closed it behind me. The cool air welcoming against my face, the rain battering off the ground. With my hand tightly wrapped around my phone I dialed his number bringing it to my ear. “Ready to tell me what’s going on?”. He answered with.
“I Are you nearly here?”. I whispered.
I didn’t want him to know I was on the verge of tears. I chewed the inside of my cheek until I tasted my own blood.
“What’s going on Leah? Please talk to me p>
Did he know? Was he in on it like everyone else? Poor little Leah couldn’t handle knowing the truth.
“You never told me you’ve been here before”. I spoke.
“Been where?”. He asked.
“My dad’s pack house p>
“Yeah, when I was a kid, but I didn’t know you back then. “Notice something off? You’re reading stolen content! This article belongs to obniÉ“.. To support the real creator and enjoy the latest from us, visit obnib. directly.” My parents have been friends with him for years, but I had no idea who he was until I found you p>
“So”. I laughed. “You met my dad before I did p>
“Leah what’s this all about p>
“Nothing”. I shook my head. “I’ll see you when you get here”. I ended the call and didn’t wait around. Instead, I ventured off into the woods behind his house.
It was still light and what’s the worst that could happen?
