It was hard wrapping my head around this new information. I wondered who bit Ray and who was the pureblood in our family ?
Is Ray the first moonwalker slash pureblood ? I pondered out loud.
Toby shrugged. He’s the first for us, but I doubt he’s the only one. No one really knows where your bloodline has come from. Colton has been trying to find out, but hasn’t had much luck. There have always been three packs in this area. But with your bloodline being new, it means there was another pack, a fourth.
What’s happened to it ?
Honestly, I really don’t know.
I rubbed my forehead frustratingly, this was just too much. I’ve never felt so worried, scared and frustrated in all my life.
My life was a lie. I was shocked when I found out Toby and Jared were werewolves, and to find out my own brother was too has just pushed me over the edge.
By the time we get home they should be back, Toby said and that relaxed me a little, but what if they weren’t ? What if there were complications ?
Toby and I sat in silence for the rest of the journey, while I prayed to God that nothing bad would happen to either of them.
I didn’t know what to say to Toby and I was sure he didn’t know what to say to me. I just couldn’t get over how out of control my life has gotten.
After what seemed like ages we finally pulled up outside my house. Toby was quick getting out of the car, but I think he just wanted to be away from the tension that was in the car. I didn’t blame him, I wanted to be away from it too.
I was anxious as I got out of the car. If Ray was in here and he was okay, we’d have to talk. But this scared me the most.
Who knew speaking to the person who practically raised you could be this hard and daunting ?
They’re back, Toby announced then and my heart started racing in anticipation as we went over towards my front door.
I wondered how he knew, but it seemed too dumb to ask.
I followed Toby quickly inside my house but bumped into the back of him when he stopped outside the living room. I was about to shove past him when I heard shouting.
-you should have sorted out your shit before you marked my fucking sister ! I heard Ray yelling. I groaned on the inside. This really didn’t sound good.
If you knew anything, you’d know it’s not something I could have controlled ! Colton’s angry voice came fast and furious, he sounded so different and on edge.
Toby glanced at me nervously, before striding into the living room and into the thick of the argument.
Cautiously I followed him to see Colton sitting down on my couch, Ray was stood in front of him, glaring down at him with his fists clenched.
Suddenly he looked up and our eyes met. I swallowed deeply, noticing the speckles of blood on his white vest top, his hair was slightly dishevelled and he looked freakishly pale and shaky.
Colton rose from the chair then, distracting me completely. I looked over towards him, my heart fluttered seeing him standing in my living room.
He had on a grey t-shirt, which looked like one of Rays, but I was suddenly nauseous and shocked to see his arms were smeared with blood also.
If that wasn’t enough to rattle me, Colton’s demeanour was stiff and edgy making my body shiver all over.
His hair was hanging over his anger filled eyes and in that moment I saw it, his alpha. It scared and thrilled me all at once sending my emotions rocketing out of control.
What happened, are you okay ? Toby asked Ray, interrupting everything. But he asked the question I had in my head.
Ray nodded, but his eyes still remained on me. Everything is peachy.
He was angry with me, I could sense it. I bit my lip and wanted the ground to suck me up and bury me. Colton snapped his head around to Ray and glared at him.
This isn’t her fault, so don’t you dare even lay a finger on her !
Ray raised his eyebrows in shock. You think I’d hurt her, my own sister ? God, shut the fuck up before I kick your head in.
My eyes widened at how Ray was speaking to Colton. They really hated each other, well, Ray hated Colton.
What the hell have I missed and what was going on ? Hadn’t Colton just saved my brother ? I
I felt like piggy in the middle, all that frustration was building to the point where I thought I was truly going to break.
I wouldn’t put it past you, Colton sneered making Ray glare at him.
The only person who is going to hurt her is you.
Colton stepped closer towards my brother challengingly, his muscles flexing. Toby moved and was suddenly standing between them both.
Say one more thing, I fucking dare you, Colton said angrily.
Stop it ! I shouted suddenly, shocking myself, but I couldn’t deal with this anymore. Both of you just stop ! Everyone turned towards me and I took a shaky breath. I don’t know what has gone on tonight, but arguing about who’s going to hurt me is not helping !
Colton stepped away from Ray and came towards me. I’ll explain-
No, Ray’s voice rose then. I think it’s best if I talked to Layla on my own, privately. So take yourself out of my house.
I almost protested. I didn’t want Colton going anywhere. But I then noticed Toby’s fists clench, making me turn my head towards him, he was glaring at Ray, obviously hurt by his words.
Colton placed his hand on his shoulder. Come on. Leave it…that’s an order Toby.
You’re a real jackass sometimes, Ray, Toby huffed. We were only trying to help.
Yeah, well, I don’t need your help, Ray replied, not looking at him.
Toby shook his head and stormed out of the living room. Colton glanced at me, he seemed wary and distant.
I went to open my mouth, to tell him that I needed to talk to him, but he shook his head and walked out of the living room quickly, following Toby.
I watched his retreating back feeling saddened. The slamming of the door rattled my insides and slowly, I turned back towards my angry brother.
By his facial expression I suddenly wanted to run away after Colton and plead he take me back to the caravan.
This was scary. Ray looked at me, or more like grated me into a hellish oblivion. I could feel his anger radiating out of him, in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him this mad before.
When were you going to tell me he marked you ? He asked threateningly making me shudder.
When were you going to tell me you’re a werewolf ?
Ray narrowed his eyes, but sighed and rubbed his hand through his hair looking stressed. He turned to walk out of the living room.
Come with me.
I followed him into the kitchen where he pointed for me to sit down on one of the stools by the island.
I sat down whilst he put the kettle on and started searching the cupboards for cups, we hadn’t done the dishes yet, in fact the house was a mess.
