Song: "Unsteady" By: X Ambassadors
"W-What?"
I stared at him. His mother is dead? I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a parent who is dead. Hell, I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to have anyone you know dead.
"She's gone," his voice cracked. Guilt swirled in his eyes as he added, "And its all my fault."
"What happened?" I asked quietly. He stared at my for a moment before gesturing for my to sit down on the bed next to him. I did just that.
I watched as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed. He didn't look at me but stared at my window. "I was 14 years-old when my mom died. My family was close to each other. My parents would take Peyton and I to get ice cream all the time when we were kids. We went to beach, park, you name it, we did it. My life was perfect. My father was Alpha and everyone loved him. My mother was the perfect Luna, so kind and beautiful. Everyone loved her. One day my pack was attacked by a group of hunters who had an alliance with Rogues. They had a goal to get rid of all the strongest packs. I was with my mom at the time of the attack. I remember it perfectly. My mother was saying goodnight to me and a man had broken through my window and held a gun to her head. It was a gun with silver bullets. Before I could even get out of my bed to defend my mom, she was dead." He squeezed his eyes shut at the memory, "I can still hear the sound of her screaming and the sound of the gun going off."
I was completely silent, listening to his story. I didn't want to show him pity because I know thats probably the last thing he wanted. I know I didn't like the pity looks I received from Sarina and my family when they had found out about Kyan.
"Its not your faultâ" I began but Parker cut me off.
"It was damn well fault! If I was quick enough she would still be alive! My father wouldn't have blamed me for her death and began abusing me! I had to deal with it until I was able to get strong enough to defend myself. He ended up killing himself. Some of the pack members blamed me for their Luna's death, hell I don't even know if some of them still blame me to this day!" He raised his voice. He clenched his fists and his jaw. He took a deep breath. "After he killed himself, I became closed off from any emotion. I became harsh and cruel even when Peyton tried to comfort me. I guess you could say I was a mommy's boy and took her death a lot harder than she did. I was so closed off not even my Beta or Delta were capable of bringing me back. I regret a lot of things I've done. If I had a chance to go back in time to change everything, I would." He leaned forward and buried his face in his hands.
I got off of the bed and kneeled in front of him pulling his hands away from his face. His eyes were glassy and I felt as if someone was stabbing me in the stomach repeatedly. I didn't know what to say to him. I was afraid that anything I could say would make him angry or wouldn't be the right thing to say. Instead, I cupped his face and wiped his tears away with the pads of my thumbs like he had done for me. I tried to ignore the shocks and warmth running through me as I touched him but it was so hard to ignore.
Parker pulled me onto his lap so I was facing him. He balled the back of my shirt in his fists as he buried his face into my hair. I sat their shocked at what he was doing. Slowly I wrapped my arms around his neck and rubbed his back with one hand while the other was combing through his hair. I was overwhelmed by his scent and couldn't help but smile that he had finally opened up to me and I had let him. I didn't know if the moment we were having would change anything between us. For some reason I hoped that it did.
"I should probably go finish with some pack work," Parker said after a while of just silence. I nodded and slowly got off from his lap. He stood up from my bed and retrieved his shirt not bothering to put it back on. I watched as he walked towards my door and opened it. All I could do was stare at the huge scars on his back as he closed the door behind him.
I stood in my spot for a few moments before heading to my bathroom to take a shower.

The next day I found myself going to the training field. I couldn't help but wonder how Parker's pack trained. I definitely wanted to train, its one of the things I enjoyed doing. I approached the field and noticed a track surrounding it. I watched as members practiced fighting in human and wolf form. I was amazed at how good they actually were. I noticed Parker standing and talking to a really buff guy that had messy dark brown hair. He was shirtless and had a few tattoos.
I walked over to Parker who narrowed his eyes when he saw me. Once I reached him he spoke. "What are you doing here?" The other guy however was smirking when he saw me.
"To watch your pack train, what else?" I retorted as I watched the pair closest to us.
He frowned at me, "You shouldn't be here."
It was my turn to frown. "Why not?" I already knew what was coming. He was probably going to tell me I couldn't train even though I already have. There were girls training here already and it wouldn't make sense that I couldn't.
Ignoring Parker I turned to the other guy. "Are you the trainer here?" I asked him. He nodded his head and I sent him a smile. "Is it okay if I start to train tomorrow?"
"Of course. Training starts at eight in the morning."
I thanked him before he walked off, leaving me with Parker who was glaring at me. So I guess the night before didn't change anything.
"What?" I asked sparing him a glance out of the corner of the eyes. "Am I not aloud to train just like everybody else? Because whether you like it or not, I will train."
Parker ignored me which caused me to roll my eyes.
"Next week on Friday I'm going to visit my old pack," I informed him so he knows and won't get all mad at me. I wanted to spend my birthday with my family.
He turned to me and crossed his arms over his chest. He tilted his head to the side. "Why?"
"I want to see my family, I miss them a lot," I said quietly looking down at the ground. I really did miss them. I missed my twin sisters talking about random stuff to me and asking me to take them to see a movie or something. I missed my brother asking advice about girls and other personal problems. I also missed the way my mom would always get mad at my dad and I whenever she'd catch us sneaking some of the dish she had made for a pack BBQ.
He nodded his head slowly. "Ok, you can see them on Saturday."
I frowned at him. "Why not Friday?" I asked. Whatever hope I had into spending my birthday with my family disappeared.
"Because I said so," he said sternly. "I'll call up Alpha Bryan and let him know you will be visiting."
I narrowed my eyes at him and stepped closer to him so I was jabbing my finger into his chest, "I can visit them whenever I want to and you can't stop me."
He took a step closer to me so we were standing chest to chest. My emotions became twisted as all I could feel was the warmth of his body overwhelming me and Irene wanting me to kiss him. I kept my face angry though so he doesn't know that he's having an affect on me. His eyes swirled with lust as he stared down at me.
"I can and I will make you stay here with me," he said lowly he then leaned down to my ear, "I'll be sure of it." He then stepped back and started to chat with other people leaving me there alone.

"So what are you doing next week on Friday?" Peyton asked me. I raised an eyebrow at her before shrugging. "I'm going to visit my family," I answered despite what Parker had said earlier.
"Oh, I was going to ask if you wanted to go to a party with me," she said, the smile on her face had faltered.
I sighed. "I'm done with parties," I muttered under my breath.
"Its just going to be the pack," she added. "It'll be fun, I promise you that."
She looked so excited at the mention of it. I didn't know what to say because I really wanted to see my family, but I guess it couldn't hurt to see them the day after. I was confused though on why both Parker and Peyton were trying to keep me here. I didn't want to think to much of it so I shrugged.
"Fine, I'll go, but just for an hour," I sighed. Peyton grinned at me and so did the other girls. Peyton, Riley, Kennedy, Vivian, Winter, Logan,  and I were all chilling in the theater room of the pack house. There were rows of automatic leather recliners. Some of us were sitting on beanbags closer to the screen. Speakers surrounded the screen and were scattered around the room to give amazing sound. The room was pretty huge and perhaps  one of my favorite rooms in the pack house along with the ginormous kitchen.
I had invited Winter and Logan to join us because I had met them before meeting the others and I considered them my friends. The girls seem to like them too. I smiled at how well they were all getting along. Winter already knew Vivian because she was Zander's sister.
We were currently watching random movies. At the moment we were watching Twilight and commenting what was right and what was wrong about the movie. It was quite fun actually. They even got the size right which was a shocker.
We all turned our heads to the door when we heard it open. Zander and Jonas were standing there with furrowed eyebrows.
"What's going on in here?" Zander asked.
"And why weren't we invited?" Jonas added afterwards.
We all laughed at them. "Unless you don't like Twilight you can join us," Winter piped up. A grin formed on Zander's face at the voice of his mate. He walked over to her and placed a kiss on her forehead which caused all of us to coo at them. Winter's cheeks were tinged pink when he plopped down next to her and pulled her onto his lap.
"Yeah, as long as you don't start making out in the middle of the movie," Kennedy commented from her spot. We all laughed again as both of them started blushing. None of the girls except Winter and I had found our mates. The other girls had yet to find them along with Jonas.
A few minutes later, Parker walked in to the room. No one turned to look this time except me because I was able to smell him before he even walked into the room.
"Hey brother! Come join us," Peyton spoke without glancing away from the large screen. I watched out of the corner of my eyes as Parker took a seat next to me. I cursed myself for sitting in the back where there was an open seat next to me.
"No making out for you two either," Kennedy called from one of the beanbags in the front. I felt my cheeks warm up while everyone laughed at us. I glanced at Parker through the corner of my eyes and noticed a small smirk playing on his lips.
I scowled but didn't say anything.
"No promises," Parker muttered under his breath and I was the only one who heard him. A fluttery feeling filled me at the thought of Parker and I kissing. I brushed all of those feelings away immediately and scolded myself. However, what little scent of me turning on Parker was able to smell it and I noticed him stiffen beside me. No one else noticed though.
"Stop it," Parker whispered angrily from beside me.
"Stop what?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him, playing it cool.
He glared at me. "You and I both know what," he whispered back.
I suppressed to laugh dryly, "And you and I both know that you wouldn't want me to stop."
He shot me another glare earning a smirk from me as I faced forward. I felt a hand on my thigh making my breath hitch. The hand started moving higher and higher. "What are you doing?" I hissed at Parker. He just smirked and moved his hand to the inner side. The warmth of his hand sent shocks through my body. I involuntarily squeezed my legs together trapping his hand there. His smirk widened as he pulled his hand away. I noticed the lust swirling in his eyes and I gulped. He then leaned over so his face was inches away from mine, his fresh breath hitting my face.
"You wouldn't want to stop either."
