Chapter 2

“Tito, I am not coming out to your pack. There is a full moon on Saturday and by the time I get out there I am going to have to turn around and leave again just so the wolves that can’t control their power don’t wolf out and eat me” I sigh. Don’t get me wrong I love my brother but he is so annoying.

“Hennessy, I don’t care. You can stay in the safe room while we do the full moon hunt and then we can hang out after that.” Tito says. I know he means well but I hate being there on a full moon everyone is so touchy. Shit if you farted in the wrong persons direction you would become someone’s wolf chow.

“Thanks, but no thanks. I will contact Tennessee and see what is happing downstairs this week. But I would also like to point out that I am twenty-two. I can take care of myself” I say knowing full well that is a lie. Shit I can’t walk upstairs without those said stairs trying to kill me. I hear a snuff on the other end of the phone and I know that Tito is trying not to laugh.

The problem with me is that I don’t seem to have any special powers or any supernatural being inside of me so when I am hurt, I am hurt. I don’t self-heal like everyone else here and I have to be so careful because everything here can and will kill me should they find out. **

“Give me a minute I have Tennessee on the other line” Tito says. I know that I shouldn’t be surprised that Tito decided to call my bluff

“Put him into this call.” I say because I know that they are going to try and railroad me and if I can talk to them all at once it will save time.

“Hey Hen”

“Hey Essy”

“Hey baby girl”

“Loser”

I don’t need for everyone to say their names, they have called me my nicknames since I was a baby.

Tennessee has always called me Hen I don’t know why. I think he mentioned that it was because I would always peck at my food like a Hen when eating.

London always called me Essy she complains that Hennessy is too long to say and yet she has no problem calling Jameson by his name. Also, there is a good chance that failing to call Jameson by his full name would result in a curse being put on her.

Speaking of Jameson, he has always called me baby girl he was the biggest constant in my life and he was always there for me. Jameson was lucky enough to meet his fated mate however she died during child birth several years ago along with his heir and since then he has been different towards us. I know that he hurts and that he wants to end everything but he holds on because in his words “Who will take care of my baby girl” I love Jameson we have always had the best relationship.

Of course Skyy calls me Loser because to her I am. I don’t think she means it in a bad way anymore well it is something that I hope anyway but it still hurts. I am just glad that we are talking and not using the facetime otherwise they would see how much the words hurt. Skky isn’t bad well I like to think that she isn’t that bad, but she is not a fan of mine she would sell me out if it got her out of trouble.

“Hi all, I say.” I am always reserved with my family. I think that it comes from not really knowing my place with them. I work hard and I am super smart but at the end of the day I am still a liability as I am practically human.

“So, what does the loser need help with now?” Skky says I can just imagine the look Tito is giving her.

“Shut your mouth Skyy. Don’t talk about Hennessy like that” Tito barks and I know that he is using his mojo or Alpha powers because I hear a faint sorry and know that she is pissed off which means that I will definitely not be going to their pack this weekend.

“Gosh Skyy. You don’t need to be such a b*h all the time” Tennessee growls

“Are we sure she is even related to us” London grips

“Maybe she needs to be smack upside the head Tito, have you done that recently?” Jameson snarls.

“OK, the reason that we are on this call apart from saying hi to each other. Is that this weekend is the supernatural parade in the city. The same city that Hennessy is living in which means that this weekend all weirdos will be put out into the street and they will go through the bio scan to make sure that they are what they are registered as. We need to keep Hennessy safe and to do that we need her out of the city today before the boarders are closed at midnight. Hennessy does not want to come out here because this weekend is the full moon run which means she will have to stay in the safe room until Sunday morning.” Tito says

“Unfortunately, I am away with the coven. So, I can’t look after her” London says

“I would happily take you in, but I can’t this full moon” Jameson says sounding sad.

“I have demon shit to deal with so I can’t either” Tennessee says sounding annoyed.

“It’s fine. No one has to take me in. If I leave before the ban, I can make it to the neutral territory before closure and I will be safe until Sunday.” I say. I just really want to stay home. I hate that I don’t really fit in Skky use to joke and say that mum kidnapped a human baby and that is why I have no supernatural gifts but. Jameson says that it isn’t true. Though I would never admit it to him, each year that passes that I don’t get some sort of supernatural power it makes me believe a little more of what Skky carries on about each time we talk.

“I don’t know why we care; sure, she is our sister apparently. But let the bio scanners find her and deal with her if she isn’t a supernatural. I don’t understand why we have to go through this every few months. Its annoyin……” Skky cuts off. There is shouting and breaking of things as well as vicious snarls and growls then all is silent.

“About time Tito” Tennessee growls.

“What the fk is her problem” London snaps.

It’s the same shit all the time. Skky doesn’t like me and as it is I am lucky to be alive ever since mom died. Skky found me first after our mom was murdered. She came home on a rare occasion talking about how she was moving to Tito’s pack but that didn’t seem to phase mom, she was still sleeping. I remember the copper smell that stayed in the air, as well as the smell of decay that came after that. Skky, walked into mom’s room. I remember her screaming and begging mom to wake up. Then there was silence for a few minutes before I was looking at a big red wolf snarling and growling at me. I was only four so it was scary but I loved Skky and she was my sister. I wanted to know why mom wouldn’t get up but Skky attacked me and I managed to escape by rolling under the couch and then squeezing into the hidey hole under the couch where I spent a lot of my time.

It was days that I was stuck in my hidey hole before Jameson came home to the massacre that was our home.

“Baby girl? Baby girl where are you?” I hear Jameson call but I am still to scared to come out. What happens if he attacks me like Skky did. What if he is mad and angry that mommy is dead.

“Baby girl please where are you?” Jameson calls again. I was too scared to answer I was scared that they were going to attack me as well.
