Chapter Not a who but a WHAT?
Chloe's POV
"Clo there is something else we need to address and you need to not freak out and try to keep an open mind and understand that I am being completely forthcoming and honest with you. I have no reason to ever lie to you and I always want you to know that you can trust me okay" I looked at him nervously “what could possibly be so serious?" “Chloe you need to listen to him, I'm right here and in a few hours you are going to truly need him so don't run away from him or what you are, please understand’
"Is she talking to you right now? You always look a bit lost in thought when I believe your voice is speaking to your right?"
He really can read me way too easily "Embarrassingly enough, yes" I lowered my gaze and quickly moved me to look me in the eyes. "Clo, you are not crazy okay, far from it. I need you to really listen alright” I nodded "Chloe I have a voice inside my head too, his name is Gage and he's my... " He began to hesitate but took a deep breath "he's my wolf, sweet girl"
"I'm sorry, he's your what!? Are you making fun of me right now?" I couldn't believe his words, he sounded ridiculous but his eyes held truth behind them and now I am even more confused than I was before. "I would never make fun of you sweet girl, I swear it on my life, I can show you but I really don't want to scare you, it's definitely a bit terrifying at first and your first transition is painful but then after that it gets easier and you realize that you aren't whole without them. Gage is part of me as I'm sure, well I don't know her name, is apart of you. Please try to keep an open mind. I swear to you I am being truthful" I had no idea what to say "Her name, she said her name is Callie, she told me a few days ago” putting my head down and trying to grasp what was happening and whether to believe him or not. "You're a wolf? like I'm going to become a wolf? What the hell is a transition Callie!? What the Fuck is happening right now"
“Chloe, I'm a part of who you have always been but normally we don't get to speak to one another until you turn 17, we got lucky and got to start 2 years ago, after you had the scare at your friends party, I helped you get away, I shouldn't have been able to but somehow you managed to break down that wall and let me through and so here we are’ "Wait! 17? like I become some kind of wolf... tomorrow???? You have to be kidding me right?!"
Lucas was staring at me confused "Um yes? I never said that but yes, at midnight you will more than likely transition, but you will transition back, you don't stay as a wolf but you can become her when you want to, so long as you both are in sync with one another. I'm still trying to understand how you already have the ability to speak with her, it's rare for that to happen, you'd have to be a white wolf or have gone through a traumatic event that helped her force herself passed the barrier early. Your father being a Beta, makes you from a Beta blood line, they are the strongest wolves next to the Alpha, they run their pack and the Beta is the second in command"
"So your dad?" "He's our Alpha sweet girl, and my mother is our Luna which means I am the next Alpha, the next leader to run this pack, The Moonlight Pack. You've almost met Gage a couple times, he tries to see you through my eyes" "So when they go darker... thats him? Which means my eyes, when they were glowing, that really was Callie?" "Yes" "And I am transitioning at midnight?" "When the moon is at its peak here over our town, yes” "It's going to hurt, like a lot isn't it?" He nodded, he was being so patient with me and trying to keep me calm, i just wasn't sure I wanted all this. "Do I have a choice about any of this?" "I'm sorry sweet girl but no, it's who you are, who your parents were, it's in your blood..." He paused and his eyes glossed over like his dad's did earlier "sweet girl, you are without a doubt the Monroe's missing daughter, Anabel just confirmed it" "How can you know that? your eyes did a weird thing, not like when they get dark” "That's a mindlink, it's a way of communicating with the entirety of the pack, almost like using a phone inside your head, you will be able to do the same after your first transition and become an official member of the pack” "How did you know? You had me stay because you knew what I was right? How could you tell? and then it was a wolf too, that attacked my parents and I ran from? the eyes, those eyes haunt me, and you are telling me that I am like what killed them?" I can feel the panic attack coming on and my breathing becoming heavy with every word I spoke, oh my God, did I kill them? "Chloe! Come back to me sweet girl, please, no you didn't hurt them if thats what you are thinking, yes it was a wolf, but it was a hound wolf, a rogue by what you described, they have no pack, no laws, and are vicious and uncontrollable, that was not your fault. I knew what you were when I found you, I could smell it on you, wolves have a scent that you will find out soon enough” "like how you smell of fresh rain and sweet to me?" "What? You smell me?" "Yes... is that weird? no one else tho, I only notice it with you" "Clo, you smell of fresh lilacs and peppermint to me, it's the most intoxicating scent I have ever breathed in" That made me blush and made me see, he is so important to me and I'm just as important to him. “Chloe... we have a few hours and then we will change, don't leave his side and make sure you are outside’ “Okay Callie, I'm trusting you'.
