Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Confused as Hell

- Parker’s POV -

Sooo, apparently there was a rouge fight. Man, your car breaks down one day and you missed out on so much! I put in the key and turned the lock so I could go into my house. I know what you're thinking? Don't werewolves live in a pack house? Well, we do usually but since humans live around here it would look unusual so we don't do that. Instead everyone has their own house but, we all live close together. Just as I was about to open up the door my best friend and future beta yelled out my name.

“Parker! Man, you missed an epic fight last night.” Noah said shaking his head

“Yeah I know” I said frowning because I was upset I wasn't there last night for my sister and for the pack.

“Oh, you know the dude that said your sister was hot?” Noah asked me and I growled

“WHAT DUDE?!” I said angrily

“Jeez, calm down Parker!” Noah said and my eyes widened. Since when am I so protective of Avery?

“Continue” I stated after I calmed myself down

“Anyways” Noah drawled

“The dude said, how he saw Avery get hurt at the fight while trying to get your dad” Noah said and I was really mad now. Why was she even there?! But I got even more upset at myself. I should've been there, and then she wouldn't have gotten hurt. Wait a second…

“Did he say where she got hurt?” I demanded anxious to know the answer

“Yeah. The leg” he said and looked at his phone

“I gotta go. See ya around Parker!” Noah said and waved then he ran down the sidewalk. Avery got hurt on the leg. I felt pain in my leg last night. Is that just a coincidence? What could this shit mean? I turned around and opened the door. As soon as I opened the door I was hit with an amazing smell. It smelt like flowers and….apples? I inhaled deeply and looked around. Could this be my mate?! I’ve always wished to find my mate and now I have a chance. I follow the scent all the way upstairs...to Avery’s room?

- Avery’s POV -

Wow! Mr. Grey and Anastasia are getting it on! Jeez, Christian why shove metals balls in her damn mouth?! Controlling bastard. I was currently reading the book 50 Shades of Grey and let me tell you...Mr. Grey had some serious problems. I was on page 132 when the most mouthwatering scent engulfed my nostrils. It smelt kinda like coconuts and man soap. Yes man soap...which mean OH MY GOD THIS COULD BE MY MATE! I jumped out of my bed and walked to my locked room door. Closing my eyes, I braced myself to see my mate. My soul mate! I swing open the door to see….Parker! Wait what?

"But...how?" I asked completely and utterly confused.

"I d-d-don't know" Parker said still in shock

"But there has to be some sort of mistake...YOU CAN'T BE MY MATE!" I yelled outraged. Why moon goddess, why?!

"Hey, that just rhymed" Parker chuckled and I glared

"I think we have bigger problems to deal with"I rolled my eyes at his stupidity

"Oh yeah...right" he said sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck

"We need to talk to mom and dad" I demanded and stormed downstairs. I needed answers and I needed them now.

PARKER?! PARKER’S MY FUCKING MATE! OUT OF ALL FUCKING PEOPLE! OH NO. SOME SERIOUS SHIT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN RIGHT NOW! I stormed downstairs and walked to the kitchen where my mom was making my dad her ‘get better soup’ since he was still pretty sore.

“MOM! DAD! WE NEED TO TALK!” I yelled furious and Parker came in the kitchen

“Honey, whats wrong?” my mom asked stirring the soup

“WHAT WRONG! WHATS WRONG? OH NOTHING EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT AVERY AND I ARE MATES!” Parker said and laughed unhumorously. My mom dropped and spoon she was stirring the soup with and my dad just gaped at us.

“Guys this isn't funny”  mom said with a clenched jaw

“WE'RE NOT FUCKING JOKING!” Parker yelled and I hit him

“Don't curse so loudly!” I hissed and he glared at me

“LANGUAGE!” my mom yelled at Parker and I gave him a ‘i told you’ look

“Let’s talk in the living room” my dad said cutting into our conversation

“Ok” I said, now calmed down and walked into the living room. I took a seat on our big comfy couch and Parker took a seat next to me.

"Well...?" I said trailing off

"Ok. Honey this might be hard to explain..." My mom said unsure and I nodded

"Don't worry, whatever it is I could try to understand" I said to my mom after I saw her coming close to tears

"I don't know if I can though" Parker said raising his hand and I rolled my eyes at him

"Shut up" I glared and he put his hand down quickly

"Ok so. Avery, we're not your real parents" my mom said and looked at my dad who was looking at me. Well this day just keeps getting better and better, now my parents tell me I'm not really their daughter! I feel angry, betrayed but most of all hurt. When were they planning to tell. Maybe they would've never told me if Parker and I weren't mates. I sat up in my seat and wiped away the traitorous tears that had fallen down my cheeks.

"Continue" I said with no emotion in my voice and I felt eyes on me. I was aware of Parker's blazing stare but I simply ignored it. My mother gulped and nodded sadly.

"About 16 years ago there was a monstrous rouge fight in the Blue Moon pack territory. The Blue Moon pack  and our pack were allies so they had informed us to stay away and protect ourselves. What we didn't know was that Luna Stacy, my best friend and Alpha Brendan had a baby. That baby was you." My mom said with a sad smile on her face

"We were on our way to the pack safe house since some rogues were starting to make their way onto our territory. But then Stacy somehow found her way to me and told me the rogues were after you and that's why they were attacking. Apparently, the rogues got to a Seer. And the seer said something about a pure and powerful child being born in the Blue Moon pack. A white wolf. You were the first white wolf in centuries and anyone would love to be able to posses that, especially since you were a baby. A baby would be easier to train and persuade into wrongdoing." My mom explained with a reminiscent smile/frown on her face.

Seers were people who could see things hidden from others. They had the ability to predict the future or speak for the gods as they say. But me?! Powerful?! Is that a joke? I just look forward at my so called parents still avoiding Parker's stare.

"Your mother begged me to take you and protect you and your secret so of course I said yes. She said to raise you as my own so people wouldn't get suspicious and when you find you mate I could tell you the truth and obviously you did" my mom said with a pointed look at Parker.

"I didn't expect that though" my dad chuckled when he looked at Parker and I

“It's your decision if you want to go back or not, Avery. But if you go back your mother wants you to take your mate with you. If you want to take others, it's up to you" my mother continued softly.

I swallowed. I understand why they kept it from me and I couldn't hate them for it. Now all my anger and hate was gone and replaced with curiosity. Should I go? Or stay and live the life I'm used to? Why does life have to be complicated? I turned to Parker who was already looking at me.

"So, are we just gonna reject each other or...?" I trailed off with pursed lips

"WHAT YOU GUYS CAN'T REJECT EACH OTHER!" My father boomed. Yes, I'm still calling them mom and dad. After all they did raise and protect me.

"And why not?" I frowned

"Guys! Mates are the best thing you can have in the world. They make you feel safe, secure, loved and just plain happy. Their your other half, you would never be complete without a mate. It would be a treacherous life with no love in it at all, because you'll never love anyone as much as you would love your mate. Plus second chance mates are never as good as the first one" my dad winked at the end of his speech. But in the beginning he was only staring at mom, which I thought was very cute.

"You want to reject me?" I heard Parker asked with....hurt in his voice?

"Uh. I don't know. Don't you want to reject each other?" I asked

"Of course I don't want to reject you. I've always wanted to find my mate!" Parker said incredulously

"Oh. Well, I did too. But won't it be awkward? I mean, we lived our whole life as siblings!" I said shaking my head and I briefly saw mom and dad tiptoe out of the room. Probably leaving us to work it out. Traitors.

"You can't possibly tell me you haven't done or thought of me as anything more than a brother" he asked standing up

"Well..." I trailed off nervously

"ANSWER ME!" Parker yelled frustrated

"FINE! YES! YES, I HAVE. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING!" I yelled angrily standing up too meeting his blazing eyes for the first time this night. The were full of desire, fury, and frustration. All in all...very confusing. Right?

"SO HAVE I! YOU CAN'T DENY THAT! STOP DENYING IT!" he yelled and I stepped up to him

"YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE FUCK UP. STOP BOSSING ME AROUND. YOU THINK I'M DENYING IT. WELL, I FUCKING CANT. I THINK YOUR ATTRACTIVE, FUNNY, AND STUPID ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK YOUR EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL AND I THINK YOUR REALLY HOT WHEN YOU YELL. OVER ALL, I HATE YOU!" I screamed and kept poking his chest throughout my whole rant. Oh god! Did I just tell him that? Oh god. I'm such a fuck up.

Parker had parted lips and wide eyes. He took my hand that was hitting him and held it. The he leaned in and did the unexpected. He fucking kissed me! This was my first kiss and I was having it with my mate, the person who I thought was my brother my whole life. Sparks flew instantly when he touched my hand, and when his lips met mine, it was a very different feeling. It was like those sparks had multiplied by a hundred. I felt like flying, I felt shocks, fireworks and dare I say it, it was better than being in wolf form and going for a run. We pulled away from the soft yet passionate kiss to face each other.

"What was that for?" I whispered embarrassed and looked away, but he held my face in his hands and caressed my cheeks with his thumbs.

"For being you" he whispered and I felt my cheeks get hot

"I think you look beautiful everyday of every moment. Your blue orbs haunt me every night before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning. I could run my fingers through your soft hair everyday. I think your voice is memorizing and I can listen to you talk about anything you want everyday. You make even the most boring and shitty things entertaining for me and you can always put me in a good mood. By the way, I think your hot when you yell too." He said and smirked at the end. I was pretty sure my cheeks were blood red now, did he really think those things? It made me feel warm and tingly inside.

"Soooo, I guess we're not rejecting each other?" I said with a shy smile

"I guess not" Parker said and then we opened the door to go to the kitchen but our parents who were leaning on the door fell.

"Well, well , well. Are you done eavesdropping?" Parker asked with a smirk while I laughed.
