Carl's POV
I slept for a very little time. Because I don't even know where I stand. Right now, I can put it as a bloodsucker illegally staying on werewolf land. Wow! I expected I would be the King but all along I was made to be a bloodsucker?
Or as Raul said, am I going to become hybrid? If yes, why is my wolf taking time to shift??
"Awake?" Aiden asked.
I didn't answer but a long sigh left my mouth that might have probably given him his answer.
"Don't think too much. Everything will fall into place soon" he whispered as he walked to the bathroom.
In a few moments the shower started running making it evident that he can't hear me properly. That was when I yelled because it was too much. Not so loud that it might startle other wolves downstairs.
A knock on my door made me go stiff again. My mom walked in with pure elegance. Probably that's a Queen's thing. She was born a princess and made Queen. It naturally runs through her blood.
"Are you alright?" She asked as she laid her hand on my shoulder.
"I'll be" I whispered back that made her let out a sad smile.
"Ok. Get down as soon as you can. Don't let this starve you. Food is food" she said sternly.
I let out a little giggle. My mom loves food more than any other thing in the whole world. She is always against starving whenever I used to throw tantrums as a kid. She would ask me to eat first and then continue my tantrum. And while eating she would slowly talk to me and the whole situation changes with the flow.
"Am I allowed to come out and get dressed?" Aiden whispered, peeking through the door of the bathroom.
Mom let out a laugh while nodding her head. She walked out without turning back. Aiden got out real quick and dressed himself in lightning speed afraid if someone's gonna barge in again.
I showered soon as well and by the time I got out Aiden already went downstairs. He likes it when he is surrounded by people. Completely opposite to me. I like it when it's just me. Probably mom and dad sometimes.
As I walked downstairs I automatically got irritated with everyone's presence. Why? I was never this way. What the heck is wrong with me.?
"Ugh! I don't like wolves" Raul rolled his eyes.
Ok! So this is why I was irritated. It's Raul who is acting that way.
"Oooh! Is she your mate dawg?" Raul asked again and my eyes instantly shifted to Layla.
"Yes" I whispered, making everyone turn their heads towards me.
Shit! I guess it takes time to adjust to mindlinks between me and Raul. I keep on forgetting that I actually speak out loud.
"She seems pretty uninterested. I take it she doesn't like your ass" he whispered this time making me roll my eyes.
"Mom! How to block this asshole in my head?" I asked her.
She laughed, making everyone stare at her.
"Bloodsuckers tend to be arrogant brats. But that's alright. Push him back and pull your walls of mindlink up" she said.
I did and it worked. Thank Heavens!! I walked to the dining table and sat beside Mom who had already set a plate of breakfast that included a bagel with cream cheese and scrambled eggs on the side. It looked so good that I sighed real quick not really waiting for dad to have the first bite.
Everyone at the table laughed, making me laugh as well. For a moment, everything felt like it was the usual until Dad received a call from the supernatural council.
"Yeah. Uhm.. yes. Yes, of course. In a week? .. alright. Alright! Not a problem. Yeah. Thanks" were the only words he spoke throughout the entire call.
"Supernatural council visit" he said as Grandpa just chewed on his food.
He doesn't give a damn about anyone. Sometimes, the supernatural council itself gotta act like how Grandpa wants them to act. That's Jaxon Malloy to you!!
"For?" He whispered.
"Laura's position. Rebecca" Dad said, making Mom squeal.
Aunt Rebecca is Elijah's wife. He is no longer a Gamma because his son Oliver who is ten years elder to me took over the title. It's Gamma Oliver Parrish now.
Mom and Rebecca are actually best friends. Because if there is someone that mom can relate to in this pack, it is her. Because she is a hybrid as well but of a different kind. Since her mom is a witch and dad is a vampire, she inherited both the powers.
So Mom can actually talk about vampire or bloodsucker stuff with her and often takes her advice to rule the bloodsucker covenant.
"It's bound to happen" Grandpa whispered as he wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue.
"If this is done, then I'll be on my way to my own house. Have stuff to do" he said as he stood up.
Grandma soon followed him leaving just us again. Aiden decided to take leave since his title day is not too long and this is the crucial time to study his own pack.
Everyone else left, leaving Layla and I alone. She is actually a slow eater during holidays. It's Sunday today, so. She usually eats just half of her breakfast and goes to school in a rush, which I totally relate to because I did the same as well.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
"I am" I smiled looking at her.
"You don't look like you're alright" she said as she tilted her head to the side.
"I'm 13 now, you know. I can understand the stuff happening around" she shrugged.
"Well, wait for 5 more years and I'll explain to you the s**t that's happening" I smiled.
She just rolled her eyes and stood up. She walked to her room again, without glancing back leaving me alone with my own thoughts.
How do I get through this?
