“Well; I wouldn’t exactly say ‘won’t’ … it’s more like I can’t tell you; Bellona. I’m sorry.”
“What do you mean … why can’t you tell me?”
“Because … I promised someone that I wouldn’t tell anyone about their secret.”
“Promised someone … who?”
“I’m sorry; I can’t tell you that, either.”
Bellona looks upon me with discerning eyes; while asking, “Tell me, Pomona; this person that you promised … is it someone that you met yesterday, when you were missing? … You never really did say much about what happened; other than give a brief account of being attacked, and then taken to a hotel to recuperate. ”
I slowly nod my head. … Bellona continues staring at me for a brief moment; then, gently rests her hand on my cheek, and affectionately smiles at me…
“It’s okay. You don’t have to tell me anything else about what happened yesterday; unless you want to. And; I won’t force you to break your promise. I’ll trust you … if you say that you can’t tell me; then don’t.”
“Thank you. I love you; Bellona.”
“I love you, too. … Now, give me minute to change; then, we’ll head downstairs and have some breakfast, while waiting for the storm.”
She’s totally baffled me with that. “Huh … what storm?”
“The storm that’s going to break loose when Raina and Rhiana get back; and, try to explain to Dad what they were doing and where they were all night long.”
Shortly … the twins arrive. Luckily for them, Dad was recently summoned by Alpha Gordon to his residence … according to Mom; supposedly for some sort of a sudden meeting regarding the pack’s imminent alliance with the Stratus Pack. … God I hope that bastard jerk of a mate of mine isn’t there at the meeting with them.
As they step out of their car, Mom and Helena rush over to them; while Bellona and I are still on the porch, lagging behind. I hear Mom shout out…
“Are the two of you okay? What happened to you last night?”
I happen to take notice of the their matching outfits … they’re identical to the outfit that he bought for me, to replace my clothes; which were torn apart during the assault … and, suddenly hear Daphne…
“Do you see that … the outfits they’re wearing?”
What about them?
“They’re exactly the same as the outfit our mate gave to us.”
Maybe it’s a coincidence?
Yeah; I don’t think so … and; Daphne definitely isn’t buying it, either. I can feel her anger growing; as she snaps…
“Coincidence my ass! I just know that cheating, douche bag asshole bought those outfits from the hotel’s boutique, for them. … Dumb ass didn’t even have the sense to buy a different style. Fucker!”
Daphne instantly takes control over me; and, has me storm over towards the twins, and intensely glare at them. I’m sure Bellona realizes that she’s behind this; because, she immediately comes rushing up behind me, and whispers in my ear…
“I don’t know what’s going on; but, please try to calm down, Daphne.”
As I mentioned before; other than myself, Bellona … and recently, also Brianna … can sense Daphne’s presence … as well as her emotional state.
Suddenly; Daphne catches a whiff of what she believes to be his scent wafting in the air surrounding Raina and Rhiana. She has me start to vigorously smell the twins; taking in deep, elongated sniffs.
Unlike a she-wolf’s scent … which is unique to each one’s persona; and, differentiates them from other she-wolves … male-wolves tend to emanate a generically-common, earthy-woodsy smell. This indicates to other’s of their kind that they’re werewolves themselves; with the only difference being the scent’s intensity … which varies depending on the strength of their aura. The only exception to this is when it comes to mates; because then, a male-wolf’s scent will be distinctly different and identifiable to his she-wolf mate.
Right away, I start picking up on the faint scent of our mate on them; along with the slight aroma of dissipating pheromones … the smell of sex! Daphne’s ire rapidly rises, and she has me start growling; before furiously lashing out…
“You fucking whore sluts!!”
Not only don’t I have any control over my body; but now, Daphne loses control of herself. She’s got me wildly flailing my arms; viciously wailing upon the utterly shocked and disoriented twins. Raina and Rhiana start screaming out at the top of their lungs, as they instantly crouch down and drop to the ground; cowering as they cross their arms up in front of them in an attempt to shield themselves from the violent pommeling…
“Stop it; Pomona!! Get away!!” … “Knock it off!! What’s wrong with you?!!” … “Bellona; help!!” … “Help us, Bellona; Pomona’s gone crazy!!” …
Mom and Helena appear to be just as shocked as the twins are from this sudden, abrupt onslaught; and, are standing off to the side, remaining seemingly petrified, with expressions of horrified terror etched upon their visages … gawking with fully agape mouths.
Meanwhile; Bellona lunges in from behind me, and wraps her arms around my upper torso … forcing my arms back down … and firmly pins them to their sides; as she clenches a grasping hold of her hands, and tightly cinches her arms in to subdue me.
Bellona pulls me away from the unnerved twins; as they excitedly cry out…
“What the hell; Pomona?! Why did you attack me and Rhi like some sort of crazed she-wolf?! Are you whacked out, or something?!”
“Rai’s right … seriously; what the fuck?! You’ve totally lost it! What did we do to you?!”
Daphne has me snap out, “‘What did you do?!’ … You fucked our mate; you slut-whore bitches!!”
