Chapter 7

I quickly ran around my house, packing what little I had. I needed to get out of this town. I needed to leave again. Like always.

I grabbed the one bag I had and quickly opened the door to have Collin standing in my face.

"Where are you going?" He asked me, pushing me back into my house. I tried to get past him but the shut the door.

"Collin. Please. Don't make me angry. I need to leave before your pack gets hurt," I told him.

"Hurt? You haven't heard? Two of mine died last night. That Scott kid is really crazy," Collin told me, walking around me in circles.

"He didn't used to be," I muttered, looking at the ground, closing my eyes.

"Alex. What is up?," Collin said.

I shot my head up to look at him. "Why do you care? Why should anyone care?"

Collin held his hands up in surrender. "Look, Alex. If something is coming for you, I want to help. Anything I can do."

"Wait, you said two of your wolves died last night?" I asked him. He only nodded.

"I figured it was that Scott kid, seeing as he almost tried to kill me," Collin looked down at the bag in my hand.

"No, not possible. Scott may have changed, but he doesn't kill wolves. He doesn't. It had to be someone else," I told him, biting my lip.

"Okay, well let's change the subject. You told me to ask my mother about you? Why would I talk to her about you?" Collin asked me.

"You really don't know?" I asked him. He shook his head. I rolled my eyes, grabbed his arm, and dragged him out of the house and towards the coffee shop. I barged through the door to an empty shop and pushed Collin down in a seat at the counter.

"Mom?" Collin asked for me because I walked to the door to lock it.

His mom came out from the back and looked at both of us. I gave her a look. She stopped in her tracks. She knew something was going on.

I walked angrily to the front. "Tell him who I am." I told her. She knew just what I was talking about. If he and I were twins, this women had to be our mom. Unless she had been lying to him his whole life.

"What do you mean?" She asked stupidly.

"Please don't act dumb. You know who I am. Why were we split up?" I asked her. She looked at Collin to me.

"I don't know where to start," She said.

"Mom?" Collin asked, standing up.

"Collin, Alex is more than a friend to you," She told me. Collin looked at me and then back at him mom.

"She is your twin sister," She told him.

Collin's eyes got as big as saucers and I just stood there my arms crossed. "Okay, you told him. I want to know who my real mother is. Is it the women I grieved over when she died, or is it you?"

"She is your real mother," she said, looked away from me and just stared at Collin. He was looking at the ground, trying to take all this in.

"Both of them came to town. They were drawn here, just like you were Alex. This was their home. But something ran them out of town and they left almost everything. They just, didn't take Collin with them. They told me that there was a destiny for both of you and you both were to meet later in life, when you both need each other the most. I don't know what they meant. I thought they were crazy for leaving you, Collin. They were crazy about you kids. You both were the light of this tiny town. But, there was something that scared them more than anything. So, I looked after Collin and Alex, you went with your parents," She paused and looked back and forth at both of us.

I tensed up and sniffed the air. Slowly I turned and see Scott staring through the window, smiling at me. He had just heard everything. I knew he had.

Collin turned to, smelling Scott. I heard Collin start growling and he started walking towards the door but I stopped him.

"Not yet. I have things to tell you, now that you know who I am. And you aren't going to be happy about any of it."

Collin looked at me. He just smiled.

"You think this is funny?" I asked him.

"What I think is funny, is that I tried hitting on you when you got here and you were actually my sister. We must be a messed up family."

I smiled and laughed. I hadn't laughed in a long time and as I was laughing I looked over through the window to see Scott had vanished. I frowned and looked back at Collin.

And I started telling him my story. Everything. Starting when my parents, I mean our, parents had died.

[Break]

"So now he's coming back for you," Collin said. He was referring to Nigel. I told him everything. It took about an hour to get through the whole story.

"Yep. And he is going to kill me if I can't find a way to get my wolf back," I told him.

Collin bit his lip. His thinking face was funny. It looked like our fathers. It was weird to see so much of my parents in Collin now that I know who he is to me. It was like they were there with me, helping me with my life.

"Biting you will be our last option, Kay?" He asked me. I just smiled and nodded.

I heard the bell on the door to the coffee shop ring and I look over to see Collin's friends walk in and sit by their usual table. He got up and walked over to them, leaning his hands on the table and was telling them something.

They all looked past Collin and were staring at me. I sighed, stood up and walked towards the door, leaving Collin with his friends. I spent enough time with him anyway.

I walked back towards my house to grab my bag. I was still running away. I couldn't involve Collin and his pack in any of my stuff. That wouldn't be right of me.

"Where do you think you are going to go?" Logan suddenly was next to me and walking with me.

"Away from here. Far away. Maybe a different country," I told him, thinking of all the possibilities.

"They will still find you," Logan told me. "Our father has many friends."

"Well, I will keep running. I have been for a long time and I can keep doing it. Seems like the only thing I am good at," I told Logan. I opened my door and walked right for my bag that I had left.

I turned only to have Logan touch his lips to mine. His lips were soft but I could feel his intensity though-out his body that was pressed against mine.

I felt tingling through my lips and I smiled, wanted more. I kissed him back, dropping my bags and wrapping my arms around his neck as he wrapped his around my waist, pulling me even closer.

I pulled away from him and smiled. "What is wrong with me?" I asked him.

"Everything," Someone answered for him. Logan and I both turned our heads quickly to see the door wide open and Scott standing there, his face blank.

Before Logan and I had time to move, Scott pulled his arm back and punched his brother in the jaw.

"That's for kissing her," Scott yelled at him as Logan fell to the floor. Scott brought his foot back and kicked Logan in the side.

"And that is for everything else brother. I can't wait to see what father has planned for you," Scott looked from Logan up to me.

His eyes were sad, betrayed, and lost. His eyes were screamed 'help me.'

"Scott-," I choked out but he just walked away without a word. I stood there staring into space as the love of my life walked out of my house, planning his revenge on Logan and probably me.
