I am dedicating this next chapter to all of you because without all of my readers I'd have no story!
I couldn't believe Austin was back in town, he would make keeping the secret I kept over ten years that much harder to keep. I paced as I listened to Kelly play the piano like a pro. Then she stopped abruptly getting my attention.
"He was my papa, wasn't he?" Kelly frowned "I sensed it and my other side showed briefly to him as did his to me. You lied to me."
I sighed "He doesn't know and it's better this way. He has a career and separate life from us he has to think of; we can't make it harder for him."
I rubbed her back and she turned to me swiftly. She was slightly angry now.
"Mama, it's not right! You still love him, I know it! I sense it from you, don't tell me it was a short relationship and there was no way you cared for him so much like you always do either!" she growled.
"Ssshhh, I know you're upset. I didn't want to hurt anyone; I just wanted to keep him from ending his career as it started for us. Please understand, baby girl I thought it was in everybody's best interest if I just left without telling them about anything." I murmured trying to calm her before her temper took over.
"What about me, I don't even know my father because of you! You lied to me all this time saying papa was dead! I'm going to go find him, I want to know him!" she was talking like she was years older than she was.
I grabbed her arm as she got up off the piano bench "No let me talk to him first."
She snarled and clawed my arm with her little wolf nails "No, you'll run him off again!"
Then she ran off and I clutched my arm hurrying to get a new outfit and bandages for my wound. I had to find her, I had kept her from lashing out using her wolf abilities and now she was running off on her own trying to find Austin who didn't know she was his.
I walked across the beach the sun about to set casting the prettiest sunset I'd seen in a while. I could faintly smell Ally's scent in the air. I looked around even though I was sure she was too far away to be near here. My cellphone rang and I looked at Caller ID to see my parents were calling. I sighed before answering, but what I expected to be her yelling "where are you" wasn't what I got.
"Thank goodness, you answered! Kelly's gone missing have you seen her?" my mom asked.
"No why?" I quickly asked concerned.
"Ally, usually has us watch her when she has extra stuff to do and figured she came here. You see they had a bit of a disagreement and Kelly ran away, Ally is a mess! She's running around town looking for her!" my mom explained nervously "Call us if you do; Ally's calling got to go!"
I got up from the sand quickly wiping myself off and hurried toward the street, my car forgotten. I decided to step into some foliage and change forms for a faster way of tracking her down. I stayed in the shadows sure the sight of a wolf in the city would scare people. I jumped a fence in an alley smelling Ally's scent somewhere further ahead. I had no idea why I seemed to feel like it was my responsibility to find Kelly, but I did and I had to get to her before someone tried to pick her up.
I had been running around for hours, my legs and feet screaming for a break, but I ran on until some guy stepped in front of me.
"Hey baby, where are you headed so fast?" he smirked "You look tired, come with me, I know a good place for you to rest at."
The guy grabbed my arm and I fought "No, I won't, I'm searching for someone."
"Everybody's searching for someone, baby. We've just so happen to find each other." He picked me up dropping me in an alley behind a dumpster.
"I got up and he shoved me back down as I yelled "Get off me! Let me go, please! I-I've got to find my daughter!"
"Oh so you've done this stuff before." The guy eagerly tried to take advantage of me.
I spit in his face and then kicked him "You pig, I told you to get off!"
He glared at me and wiped the spit off of my face "You won't be fighting so much once I'm done with you!"
The man smacked me and I head-butted him as he got closer. I got up weakly trying to run off, my energy spent and I was wobbly. The man quickly grabbed me slamming me into the wall and then picked me up dragging me behind the dumpster again while I kicked and clawed at him.
He slammed my head into the cement wall "Try that stuff again and I'll do much worse."
I slid to the ground in pain touching my head, where blood sure enough had started to dampen my hair a little. It stung so badly and I was too tired to fight, but I had to find Kelly and make sure she was safe.
Then there was a feral growling and snarling coming from nearby and I heard the sound of padded clawed feet hitting the ground before stopping. I looked to my left and saw a wolf with fur that reminded me of Austin's hair. The wolf looked at me, its eyes softening before he turned on the guy.
The guy backed up and ran, but the wolf, I assumed was Austin jumped knocking the guy to the ground. I watched as I slowly got up as he clawed and tore at the guys back.
"That's enough, you've injured him just let him go." I sighed and the wolf turned to me hoping off the guy "Austin, that's you right?"
I smiled as the wolf seemed to nod slowly and walk over to me.
"Good, can you look through this area? I'm going to check elsewhere." I sighed and wobbled as I walked forward trying to make it toward the end of the alley.
I heard wolf Austin whimper and then walk up to my side sniffing the air.
I groaned "I'm fine, I'll go to a doctor after finding Kelly. She means more to me than my own life. A little blood never killed anyone."
He rolled his wolf eyes and he followed me again. I turned to him and he shook his head at me before howling loudly. I wobbled falling backward as my head throbbed and I landed on something soft. Another wolf had caught me and it was a little bigger than Austin with another coming up as I sat up. Austin seemed to whimper to the other two as I struggled to focus. The other two whimpered back and I didn't know what they were up to. I felt woozy and the wolf that caught me began to lie down as the other two nudged me on top of it. While the other bigger wolf Austin had called helped keep me steady on the first one's back as it licked my hand every so often to make sure I stayed awake. I needed to find Kelly, but Austin's stubbornness had won instantly, now the two wolves I now figured to be his parents were running me to the nearest hospital, I wasn't for sure.
Yeah, I confused you guys I bet for a minute with is he or is he not the father so, yeah he is lol!
