“I understand that you feel betrayed and scated right now but hear us out. You are free to make your own decisions after that. He gave me a pointed look and I just stared at him, not knowing what to do. Tears were spilling out of my eyes now and I couldn’t even stop them.
“I know Blake has already told you how we all originated. What you need to know now, is how our present defines us. We aren’t savages and we aren’t dangerous unless you provoke us. We live in peace and we maintain peace. We are as human as you are, with a few minor enhancements. He continued and Sue sat on the bed next to me, keeping her hands on my shoulder. For some comforting reason. As terrified as I was, I wanted her comfort.
“Rosy, do you believe in soul mates?” He asked.
I really didn’t know what to say to him. Did I believe in soul mates? I believed there was someone special out there for everyone.
I just stared at him. I knew there was a blank expression on my face because I honestly didn’t know what to say.
“Okay, well, us werewolves, we have a wolf spirit that resides in us. They are the dominant part of us. The human side of us can love and be with whoever we want to but the wolf side of us only has that one true love. Their soulmate. Every wolf has 1 mate and when they find their other half, they bond with them and they complete the mating. Since the wolf soul is our soul, we will always be happier with our soulmate rather than just anyone. After you find your mate, you are in it for the rest of your life.”
“The term “till death do us apart” is taken VERY seriously. The male is usually the whipped one in the relationship. His body, his wolf, both begs him to make sure their female is always happy, always safe and always looked after. They are both mentally and physically incapable of hurting their female but if someone else does, they will happily snap that person in half like a twig” he smiled.
Dwayne’s words were playing over and over in my head. I couldn’t fathom the fact that I was sitting here talking about werewolves. How was this even possible? Now this soulmate thing. If I hadn’t seen Blake change the way he did, I would have thought they were all crazy.
“Rosy” Blake’s voice interrupted my thoughts.
looked
I looked up at him. He was still standing in the same position as before. He still had the same expression on his face.
“Do you remember that first day we met? You walked into my apartment with the 2 buckets and you were so helpful to the lost boy across the hall”
I nodded. I couldn’t find my voice and even if I did, I didn’t trust it to be able to speak without cracking.
“That feeling you had, the feeling of wanting to help me, wanting to know me, wanting to make sure I was okay. Your attraction to me, those sparks every time I touched you, every moment we shared. It was all because you too could sense me. Rosy, you’re my soulmate. You and I are meant to be together.” he said slowly.
What?!
“Bu-.. but.. but I’m not like you. How’s that possible?” My voice cracked just like I expected it to.
“Actually that’s what we’ve been talking about for the last hour. Blake has made a good point. You don’t know who your father is. There is a possibility that your father could be a werewolf. Does your mum remember anything about your father?” Dwayne asked. He was in investigation mode.
My father?..
I shook my head and swallowed hard.
“Mum always said there were a few men that could potentially be my father. She was never sure and she never made the effort to find out either. She was 16/17 and even the brothel she worked for didn’t want to be exposed for having an underaged hooker.”
Dwayne rubbed his chin and looked deep in thought.
“It’s alright, Honey. I’m sure there’s a logical explanation for all this. Please just know that we all love you. We will never hurt you. I know this is a lot to take in Sue was still by my side, rubbing my shoulder and holding me tightly.
