Chapter18
Jonathan shyly pulled away and scratched the back of his neck, best soon regained his concerned expression
“Kiddo, care to tell us what did this to you? And why were you alone? Where’s Ma
here’s Max?“, Jonathan’s voice was full with love and worry for this woman. They obviously were acepainted, and did she just call him “Uncle“? Am I still dreaming? I exhaled slowly, then rubbed my eyes with both hands, then opened them again they were still there. I then pinched my arm, and nothing changed, except that I think I just briosed myself.
“The rogues. ” Said the woman. “They appeared out of nowhere I think there were 5 of them, Max fought 2 of them off, but the third got away, so I told him to follow and try snilling out as much as he could. I stayed with the 2 other rogues 1 killed them both, but one managed to poke me with a freaking stick, then I decided to po to you, cause you know, the new dor lives with you now, who by the way looks like she’s going to freak out any second now she said with an amused sinile looking me right in the eyes. It was just then I realized, that at some point she turned to look at me and I sew the same bright eyes
that the wolf had. The room went quiet a grave. Jonathan and Shirley turned their heads towards me and eyed me cautiously.
“Sweetheart.“, Shirley said quietly and gently. “Breathe, darling“, she said with a warm smile and took a small step towards me. I turned to look at her slowly as in a daze. I let out a long breath and then inhaled through my nose. Than exhaled through my mouth again. That should calm me down, right? My mind was blank, my eyes huge
this time it was Jorsethan. He also took a cautious step towards me. “How are you feeling, darling?“, he said softly
*|_ |__1–L.. Uhm.……”, damn, where are my words? But what can I say? A wolf turned into a woman and nobody except me was surprised. I turned to the butt naked woman right in front of me, and she still had that amused smile on her face, her eyes held a spark of laughter, she was clearly enjoying the sight of me looking like a complete fool”

I felt the couch dip on both sides of ine, Joriathan was now sitting on my left, and Shirley on my right, both were holding my hands. I looked first in his
yes, then turned to her.
“Sweetheart, we are werewoll’s, and you just saved our nieces life“, said Shirley and gave me a worried look.
“Werewolf’s…“, I whispered totally shocked. I mean, wouldn’t you be?
“Yes, dear, werewolf’s.“, confirmed Jonathan with the same look in his eyes.
“Werewolf’s, I repeated again
“Yeah, girl, werewoll’s“, chimed the woman on the table. “You know, the ones like in the movies, people that shift into wolfs.“, she laughed. “Priceless.“, apparently it was my facial expression.
“There are some scrubs in the closed for you to get dressed…” I whispered quietly, to which Shirley chuckled, Jonathan looked down with a hint of redness to his cheeks, but the girl started laughing hysterically.
“Are you to real?“, she screamed, wiping tears from her eyes “We just told you that you live in a were town, and you just send me to get dressed?“, her laughter was so contagious, that I started laughing with her.
“Werewoll’s!” I screamed out in between of my laughter attacks. I probably looked like crazy, well, at least that’s what I read from both Shirley’s and Jonathan’s faces each time I turned to look at them, and each time it seemed to for my laughter outburst. But the girl seemed to genuinely enjoy my
Soon I got tired of laughing and an uncomfortable silence settled in once again. I was yet again staring at everyone wide eyed. “Sooo…I began, but stopped, because I didn’t really know what to say.
Shirley patted my hand and started talking veeeeery calmly.
suspiciously and
“Sweetheart. I know, that this might seem strange to you and even crazy, but believe me, this is real. We are werewolf’s” I looked at her su strangely I believed her. I mean, I just saw with my own eyes, how this woman emerged from a woll’s body
“You are werewolf’s“, I repeated like a parrot.
“Yes, dear, we all are werewoll’s.“, said Jonathan in a soft voice,
I looked at him for a few seconds, and then it hit me – did someone say “a town of wolts” or something?
Walt..“, 1 said a bit confused. “What do you mean by all of you?”
“Girl, this whole town is were, basically you’re the only human here!“,
the girl happily swaying her feet from the table and smiling widely.
“Everyone?“, I continued with my parrot routine. “Everyone, like Hannah and Doc Evans?… “Yup!“, she said popping t

all back at the B&B. Lena was wearing some scrubs, that were stored at the clinic, and we were all sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea. That is, of course, the most normal thing you do after finding out that werewolf’s exist and you are the only human in the entire town. It
ut loud and deep breath, then turn to Lena
“Ok, I get the part that werewolf’s exist. As crazy as it sounds to me, I kinda believe you“, I say rubbing my temples. “But explain to me one thing. please literally opened on you a couple of hours ago, you shouldn’t be walking, standing, laughing and all. How are you ok?“, with every word that fles our of my mouth, my voice becomes more shaky and my eyes widen

“You see, kiddo, since we are like supernatural creatures, we have different abilities, like fast healing. You were too consumed with the stitching and rutting to notice, that the moment we took that stick out of Lena, she already began healing. But if you didn’t do what you did with all the patching up,
he would be slower and could even die of blood loss. His voice was soft, he was trying to keep me calm, and don’t get me wrong. I’m eternally grateful for this, because my sanity was under a big question mark. The next one to speak was Shirley
“You know, dear, since you already know about the whole wolf thing you can ask questions to understand everything better. Do you want to ask anything, she was gently stroking my know while she spoke. It was a pleasant feeling, but at the same time this attention made me feel slightly uncomfortabila, as if they thought, that I would set my head on fire and start running around the kitchen screaming bloody murder. I took another deep breath and tried to pull my brains together.
I said fer from being sure of what to ask. I took another minute to think about what to ask, but I had so many uncertainties, that I didn’t know where to start. And having three werewolf’s burning holes in you doesn’t really help. “Ugh“” Lexclaimed exhausted and put my head in my hands. “I feel stupid, I don’t know what to ask…“. I mumbled, still hiding my face in my hands.

“Ok, here goes nothing…“, he sighed and began spilling all the beans.

During the next two hours or so they were telling me everything and I mean – EVERYTHING. I found out that werewolf’s, just like ordinary wolf’s live in packs, they have Alphos, Betan, Gammas, Lunas, mates, everything as in the movies. The name of this pack was The Ember pack. I found out, Jonathan used to be the Alpha and Shirley the Luna, but they retired and now Jonathan is one of the elders, that are basically like the mediators, that help to resolve different situations, where Alpha is uncertain or anything Shirley on the other side dedicated her free time to kids she runs the day care. Now their oldest son, Nathan, is the Alpha, his mate is the Luna. Lena is one of the warriors and she is also their niece, that’s why they are so close. I also found out abour rogues, which were the reason Lena got hurt in the first place. As they told me, rogues were wolfs that didn’t belong to any pack due to different reasons, they can be good or bad, some even crazy. This time a couple of the crazy rogues have wondered into the pack territory and Lena with her partner Mex had to fight them off. Max was another warrior.
The thing about the town that I found out was pretty interesting. Apparently Pine Hills was not on the map and it was a wonder how I ended up here. We figured that I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way, that’s why everyone was so surprised, that I showed up. If I were a wolf, I would have to go to an Alphato ask for permission to stay, but since I am human and everyone could smell it, no one said a word, hoping I would soon leave. The moment Doc Evans gave to the job, be called Jonathan and Jonathan than talked to his son and warned about my staying. Eventually I would have to meet the Alpha, since now I am informed about the existence of werewoll’s and get acquainted with the pack, it would be safer for me and made everyone pered to my presence. We decided to meet the Alpha soon.
