"My mother was half Witch half Lycan. When our kind started dying off due to Oleander being mixed into our food and water supply she cast a spell on me and had me sent to the future. She did this to a few other kids but I never found them." He sighed.
He looked over at me again. "Lycans age slower than a werewolf does. How old do I look to you?" He asked, his voice wasn't deep but it wasn't soft either.
"About as old as, Ryan." He raised an eyebrow. "He just turned 31 last month."
He looked at my mother. "She was kinder than you were. You said I looked almost 40!" My mom giggled and went back to looking at her phone, he looked at me. "I stopped aging around 17 years old, but my real age is 124!"
My jaw hit the floor, there's no way he's almost older than all 3 of my parents combined.
He let out another single chuckle. "I age one year every few years. Us Lycans can get to be 250 years old." That's unfortunate, he don't have long left.
He nodded once . "That's alright with me. I miss my family, and I wish to see my sister again."
I frowned at the last part, he lost a sister? I couldn't imagine that kind of loss.
He let my leg go and set it on the floor gently, he looked up at me once more. "You should go eat something. I know you are hungry." He told me then stood up and went to the couch wherr my mother was at.
Scott picked up 3 bags that I never even saw until now, my mom got up and gave him a side hug but he didn't return it. "Thank you for doing this. My family is in your debt no matter what it is."
And with that she turned to me and smiled. "I love you, Brooklyn and I hope that you won't be mad at me for doing this for too much longer." After she said that she left.
I love my mom, nobody could ever replace her. "mon ange?" I looked up at scott, I had no clue what he just said but for some reason it made me blush.
"Go eat amoureux, we have a busy day ahead of us tommorrow." He said.
I nodded my head and got up, he went upstairs and I went into the kitchen. Evan was in there feeding Tyler some puffs, he was making more of a mess rather than eating them.
I pinched Tyler's chubby cheek as I walked by him and he laughed, he always laughed when I did it, but when Evan tried to do it he cried.
I went to the refrigerator and pulled out the things I needed to make a sandwich.
"Bailey, is grabbing Chinese on her way home." Evan said when he seen me about to make a sandwich.
"How long do you think she'll be?," I tapped my fingers on the countertop. I was starving and wasn't sure I could wait on her if it was going to take a while.
"20 minutes!" Evan said adter glancing up at the clock on the wall. I groaned and began putting the food away.
I did however grab 2 pickles from the jar before I walked out of the kitchen. I went back into the living room and walked over to the couch and grabbed the remote, I put on a movie and laid down, while I eating my pickles.
I stayed in that position for a little while and my eyes started to close.
I faintly heard someone call my name but my tired eyes refused to open due to how tired I already was.
I woke up briefly when somebody picked me up, but I fell back asleep before we made it to the stairs.
**********
The next morning the sound of my phone ringing woke me up, I groaned and burrowed deeper into.my pillows.
When it began ringing again I threw my blanket over my head not wanting to be bothered right now. I wanted to sleep as long as I possibly could.
"Answer your damn phone, Brooklyn!" Ryan's loud angry voice entered my head.
My eyes snapped open when my phone rang again.
I threw the comforter off me and grabbed my phone from the nightstand.
"Yes?" I asked when I answered it then laid back down, with a yawn. "I want to see you, 1 hour, at my apartment, don't tell anybody."
"No, Ryan. I'm not in the mood to see you. After last night I'm not sure I want to be around you anymore." I told him honestly.
I heard him sigh. "I'm sorry about that. Johnny gave me something last night and I didn't think to ask what it was." I could feel his uneasiness through our bond, he rarely left it open for me to feel anything.
"Please come to see me?" I rubbed my forehead, thinking really hard about the pros and cons if I went.
I know what he wanted, he always called me the day after he slept with another woman, he wanted to use my body and our mate bond to feel what he couldn't the previous day.
Zena whimpered in my head, she missed Titus and wanted to be near him. "Fine, but I'm not doing this for you. I'm soing it for our Wolves."
I hung up, I didn't want to hear anything else from him. I went into the bathroom and did my morning routine. When I was finished I came out and went over to my closet.
It was the beginning of January so I grabbed some warm clothing and went and grabbed some undergarments.
After I put my clothes on I went over to the mirror. I wore a pair of black jeans with a white long sleeved shirt a black jeaned jacket and a dark brown scarf with a pair of winter boots to match.
I put on light makeup then grabbed my purse, brushed my hair and threw on a white beanie. I walked out of my room and seen Scott standing by my doorway.
Shit.
I forgot about him.
"Good morning!" He nodded once to me.
I looked down and sighed. "Good morning, Scott." I looked away from his direction all together. "Do you have to follow me everywhere I go?" I asked him.
"Yes, it's for your own safety." I looked back at him, his dirty blonde hair was messy and honestly it looked rather sexy on him too.
No, stop it Brooke you have a mate, you shouldn't be feeling let alone thinking this way for another.
"I uhh...I have to go see Ryan." I told him, he nodded his head and moved past me.
"What are you doing?" He stopped and turned back to me. "Driving you!" I shook my head. "No you aren't. I can drive myself. You are driving yourself and parking a little ways down the street so he don't see you."
Scott raised an eyebrow at me, but I didn't falter with my decision. I crossed my arms while looking into his eyes. When he didn't say anything I began walking past him then down the steps and out the door.
I got into my car and off I went, with Scott right behind me. Remembering I never ate lastnight I stopped at Dunkin' Donuts and got a coffee and a couple donuts.
Ryan lived in the city that was right between us and the human world so he was a good 45 minute drive from my sister's house.
She got the first house our parents lived in.
I noticed Scott had slowed down and parked off and into a parking lot where he could see Ryan's apartment building.
When I parked I felt a tether come through. "Leave the link to me open.while you are in there?" He asked me.
"You don't want me to do that." I warned him, he would hear me and Ryan having s*x if I left my tether open to him.
"I understand why you are here amoureuse! It will not bother me." I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel then nodded to myself.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you first." I got out and walked up to the door and hit the buzzer to his apartment. He didn't say anything to me but he opened the door for me allowing me entrance.
Zena was wagging her tail, she was getting excited because she was about to see her mate after 2 in a half months without touching one another or talking face to face.
I went over to the elevator and pushed the up button, when the elevator doors opened I walked in and hit the button for the fourth floor.
I hated to admit this but I was actually excited to be with Ryan again. I missed his touch deeply, my body craved his and wanted to be with him badly.
I crossed my legs in the hopes of stopping the scent of me to enter the closed space I was in.
I quickly stepped out of the elevator and rushed down to Ryan's apartment door. I knocked on it desperatly. I heard him whispering to somebody but I couldn't make out the voice.
A couple seconds went by before he opened the door. "That was fast honey." He said, he seemed nervous about something.
But when I stepped in the apartment I could smell it, I turned to him. "Where is she?"
