Hey guys! I know, I probably suck a lot right now and I am terribly sorry. In my defense, I have been extremely busy with school and just life in general. But, if it makes you guys feel any better, I have been working on and off on this chapter since I last updated. And, if it helps even more, it's extra long this time around. =) Like I said, I am really sorry about the lack of updates. I actually was kind of stuck on what to write for this chapter and how to take the story again. But! Have no fear! I figured everything out and I think I am good again. Thank you to all of my lovely readers for the reviews/favorites/follows for this story and also for myself. You really have no idea how amazing that makes me feel and how much it means to me. Just letting you know, this chapter is definitely drama filled for you guys (like I promised in the past) so I hope you like it. Enjoy. =)

Chapter Ten

Remember when I said that things between Stacie and my sister are starting to heat up? Well, I believe things are starting to get a little more intense between the two of them. Why do I say this? Well, they have spent practically every day together for the past two weeks and they are attached to the hip. Annika still hasn't opened up to me about their relationship, but I'm hoping she will soon.

Chloe and I are currently sitting outside by the track and we are watching the two previously mentioned girls flirt with one another once again.

"Do you think they are dating yet?" Chloe asked curiously while playing with my hand.

I lifted my head from her lap and looked over at my sister. Annika is whispering something in Stacie's ear, making her giggle and get closer to her. "Nah, I don't think they are dating just yet. I just think they are smitten for one another. She has that look in her eyes."

"What do you mean by that? Like, how can you tell?" Chloe asked curiously.

I smiled and sat up next to her. Leaning close, I placed my hand right against her chin and turned her head gently to have her look right where I am. "Do you see how Annika keeps constantly smiling at Stacie and looking at her with just…that look?"

Chloe observed for a minute or two and said, "Yeah, I do notice she does that a lot."

Giggling, I said, "Well, that is what us lycans like to call the "holy shit I just found my mate" look. And apparently that was what I looked like and still look like when I saw you for the first time."

Chloe turned to me and smiled wide. "So that's what you looked like when you realized that I was your mate?"

I shook my head yes and said, "Yep, that's what Annika said anyway. And trust me, she teased about me constantly for a while there. Hell, she still teases me. You should have seen her reaction when I told her that I grew something extra down there."

Chloe smiled at that and slid her hand along my thigh and said, "How did she react?"

I glanced down to where her hand was now making light patterns along my thigh. I swallowed hard and tried to ignore it. "Well, let's just say that she laughed so hard and for so long that she was turning purple from lack of breath…that and I had to throw several things at her to get her to stop laughing."

Chloe giggled at that and said, "Aw don't worry babe, I still love you even if your sister likes to make fun of you for it." She then kissed me on the cheek and scooted closer to me.

It's now after school and Chloe decided to go hang out with Stacie and Aubrey so Annika and I were now currently hanging out at the house.

"So, you and Stacie huh?" I said with a grin on my face.

Annika looked at me with an innocent face and said, "I'm not sure what you are talking about sis. Stacie and I are just friends."

I snorted at her and said, "Kind of like how me and Chloe are "just friends?" Please, it is painfully obvious that you two have a thing for each other. I can see it in your eyes sis, you can't hide it from me."

It was quiet for a second and then she sighed and turned towards me more. "I think…I think she might be the one Becs…"

"You think? I could have told you that Ann." I said with a smile.

"I'm being serious here Beca!"

"I am too! It is seriously that obvious that you two are mated to one another." I said while looking at her.

"Really? It's that obvious?" She asked while looking at me. I shook my head yes and she sighed quietly again. "Damn, and here I was thinking I actually hid something from you for once."

I laughed at that and said, "Oh please sis, you and I both know that it is impossible to hide anything from one another. We are both so easy to read that it's ridiculous. Why were you trying to hide your mate from me though?"

"Because…you just recently accepted Chloe as yours and you were so excited and I was so excited for you because you actually got your head out of your ass and started dating a human. I just…I didn't want to take the attention away from you is all. I've been doing that my whole life and I just wanted you to have the lime light for once." Annika said with a small smile.

I smiled wide and pulled her into a hug, which she playfully tried to push me away. "Aw Annika! That is so cute! It's like you actually do care for your sister!"

She finally was able to push me off and she said with a smirk, "Yeah, yeah…don't get used to it though. We may be the same age, but I'm still older than you and you will always be my baby sister."

I rolled my eyes and pushed her playfully. "Oh shut up."

Chloe's POV

I definitely missed hanging out with the girls. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with Beca but there are some times where I miss just hanging out with Aubrey and Stacie, who we are currently asking questions to.

"So, what's up with you and Mitchell's sister?" Aubrey asked. Apparently her and Beca have a thing where they only call each other by their last names. Don't ask me why, but they have an odd system with one another.

Stacie instantly blushed and said, "I…I don't know what you're talking about Aubrey."

Aubrey snorted and said, "Oh give it a rest Conrad. One second you were trying to get into Beca's pants, and then the next you are cozying up with Annika. So, explain or Chloe and I will have to force the answers out of you."

"I really don't know that's the thing. Like, we have been spending a lot of time together but she hasn't done anything to try and move it further." Stacie said.

I smiled and said, "Aw, does miss Stacie actually like a girl? That is so cute!"

"Shut up Chlo! It's not hard to imagine that I actually like someone."

"Um, yes it is. Stacie, I love you and all but…you kind of are known for just sleeping with the person. I think I can count on one hand the number of people you have actually liked." I said while looking at her with a smile. "And besides, you're acting like it's a bad thing to like her. Annika is definitely a good choice, you should see how she watches over Beca. It's really cute actually."

Stacie smiled at Annika's name, which proved my point exactly. "Okay…so there may be something going on between us."

Aubrey and I squealed excitedly and got closer. "You HAVE to spill the beans now Stace!"

She rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, okay I will. Geez, keep your panties in a bunch. So, it started about the time that you and Beca were beginning to do your thing. Anyway, that night, Annika and I just instantly clicked and we started to text, and then it gradually went to calling each other every night, and then it went to just hanging out with one another after school. She's really sweet guys, you should see how she acts when no one is around."

I smiled because that reminded me of how Beca is towards me. "Trust me, I know the feeling. Beca is a total sweetheart when we aren't around anyone else."

Stacie got a smirk on her face and said, "Holy shit, you totally did it with her didn't you?!"

"What?! No! Why would you say that?" I said, trying to look innocent.

"Woah, you did have sex with her! Was it good? I've always wondered how she would be like in bed." Stacie said curiously.

I felt myself get a little jealous, but I tried to quickly push it out of my body. "Hey now, you were just ranting on about how you have a thing for her sister. You don't need both Mitchells."

"And I really don't need to hear about my best friend's sex life, so can we please change the subject?" Aubrey asked.

I stayed over at Stacie's for a little bit and then went home. When I walked into the doorway, a light was suddenly turned on.

"Hello Chloe, we need to talk about your girlfriend Beca."

I gulped and shut the door and walked towards Aunt Emily.

Beca's POV

I was upstairs in my room when my door suddenly burst open and a very upset Chloe came inside. I stopped working on my computer and instantly went over to her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Chloe, sweetheart what's wrong? Did someone hurt you?" I asked as I rubbed her back softly and pulled her closer.

She sniffed and buried her face in my chest. "It's…it's my aunt…she…she surprised me at my house tonight and…and she…she um said some things and basically said she has to meet you or else…"

I scrunched my face up in confusion and asked, "Or else what sweetheart? Why are you so afraid of your aunt?"

I felt her tense up a little and hesitate on answering. I wonder why she is acting so weird? It's almost like she's hiding something… "My aunt, she's just very controlling and if she doesn't get what she wants…people get hurt. And I just really don't want you to get hurt Beca. I love you so much and if anything were to happen to you…it would destroy me."

I looked her in her eyes and said, "I'm not going anywhere Chloe. Nothing will take me away from you, I promise."

Chloe's POV

"Hello Chloe, we need to talk about your girlfriend Beca."

I gulped and shut the door and walked towards Aunt Emily. "Wh…what about her that we need to talk about?"

She smiled mischievously and said, "I know you're hiding something from me Chloe. You know that I don't appreciate you hiding things from me. In fact, it's actually quite rude of you to betray family like that."

"What are you talking about? I…I haven't betrayed you in any way." I said while backing up slowly.

"I said to quite lying to me Chloe!" A sharp slap was heard in the deafening room. I winced and grabbed my cheek. "I know for a fact that you've been hiding Beca from me! For god's sake Chloe! You are a lycan hunter! You're supposed to kill lycans with no questions about it!"

I couldn't take it anymore and I pushed her off of me and yelled, "But I love her! She is my soul mate Aunt Em! Can't you understand that?"

She busted out laughing and looked at me. "Don't tell me you're actually believing that crap Chloe. Lycans are monsters, they aren't capable of love! They just use that shit to lure in innocent humans like yourself and when they have you right where they want you, they kill you. Don't you ever wonder what happened to your parents? To your little sister?"

I felt myself get angry and I started to shake. "You leave them out of this! Especially my sister!"

"Oh quit the dramatics Chloe. Now, I demand that you bring Beca over to my house tomorrow for supper. There's no ands, ifs, or buts about it Chloe Beale."

After my discussion with my aunt, I quickly left the house and ran to Beca's in tears. How dare she say that what Beca and I have isn't real? Just because she is a lycan doesn't mean she is a monster.

When Beca started asking questions about my aunt, I knew she started to suspect something deeper was going on. I'm just really glad she chose not to press anything. I do not need to let her find out that my family is lycan hunters, or more specifically my aunt. I don't think she will believe me if I tell her that I am trying to desperately get out of the family secret.

"My aunt um…she is requesting your presence at her house tomorrow night for supper." I started off quietly.

"Why do I feel like you really don't want me to come tomorrow?" Beca asked curiously.

"Because, I really don't want you to meet my aunt. She is seriously over controlling and she doesn't know how to keep her opinions to herself." I said casually. I feel so terrible lying to Beca like this, but she absolutely cannot know.

Beca's POV

I really feel like Chloe is lying to me right now, which upsets me greatly. I know, there probably is some kind of reason why she's doing this, but I just don't feel right about it.

I looked at her suspiciously, which I can practically see her fidgeting under my gaze. I sighed and decided not to push the subject. "Okay…I'll believe you. But, if she really wants me to come tomorrow for dinner, then I should probably come. I'll make a deal with you, if things get really shitty there then we can leave right away, okay?"

I could see her let a breath of air out that she's been holding and nod her head slowly. "Okay, I'll agree to that. But I am going to apologize in advance for anything hurtful she may say tomorrow."

I smiled and said, "I really don't think it's going to be as bad as you're saying it's going to be, but I'll accept your apology Chlo. Now, what time do you want me to meet you at your house tomorrow? I'm assuming you were wanting to just head over there in one vehicle."

After discussing the details about tomorrow, Chloe decided that she needed to go home for the night, which I let her do. I needed to talk to Annika about stuff anyway. After telling her goodnight, I walked back into the house and went to find my sister. It turns out she was out back looking up at the sky while lounging on a chair on the deck. When I shut the sliding glass door, she looked over at me and smiled.

"What brings you out here sis? I figured you and Chloe would be together for the rest of the night." Annika said while sitting up in her chair.

I went and pulled a seat next to her and sighed. "Nah, she had a rough day today and she wanted to spend the night at her house."

It was quiet for a second and I could just see my sister deep in thought. She finally looked up at me and said, "Why do I sense there's a problem between the two of you?"

Woah it's scary when she does that. "How do you do that sis?"

She tilted her head to the side and asked, "How do I do what?"

"You know, just taking one look at me and being able to decide what I was about to talk to you about."

She smiled and said, "Ah, so there is a problem between the two lovebirds. And you're my sister Becs, I can easily read you like an opened book. But go on, spill."

I sighed and looked down for a second then back up at her. "I…I feel like Chloe is hiding something from me."

"Isn't that pretty typical with a relationship? I know you haven't had any experience in that department but still Becs." Annika said with a grin.

"This is serious Ann. You know that it's never good when a mate lies to the other."

"I know Becs, I'm sorry. What makes you think she's hiding something from you?" Annika asked while sitting up even straighter now, her full attention on me.

"Because, every time she even mentions her aunt, her whole body tenses up and she starts to stutter and become cautious. And if you know Chloe, then you know she isn't a cautious person. And today, she came bursting into my room in tears after her aunt visited her at the house."

"Did she say what was wrong?" Annika asked.

I shook my head no and said, "That's the thing, she never really said why she was crying. She just said that her aunt requested my presence at supper tomorrow and she apparently threatened me if I didn't go or something like that."

There was a curious look in my sister's eyes and I could tell she was thinking about it. "Hmm…well it sounds like she may be scared of her aunt. Have you ever met her before?"

"No, and I think that's a good thing so far. Judging from all the stories Chloe has told me about her, she's not the best human being. Apparently she is very controlling and manipulative. She also was the reason why Chloe had that bruise on her cheek a few weeks ago."

"Holy shit! Her aunt did that to her? Hell, I don't even know the lady and I don't like her. That's just not right to hit someone like that." Annika said angrily.

"I agree with you sis. I just…I can't seem to shake this feeling of Chloe hiding something from me though. I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but something about this just doesn't seem right." I said while looking down.

"Well, I say you go to the dinner tomorrow and you just play it safe and by ear. If things seem to be like it's going to get out of hand, then you and Chloe get the hell out of there and never look back. Who knows, maybe it's just the nerves talking." Annika said while patting me on the shoulder.

"Maybe." I said while laying back and looking up at the stars. I just wish my parents were here to help me on this. They would know what to do.

The next day seemed to go by in a breeze and it quickly became evening time. I just finished getting ready when I heard the doorbell ring. Chloe decided it was best to come pick me up, so that way we can just take her car instead. I heard Annika say she will get the door so I can finish with the last second touches. I looked myself in the mirror and decided that I looked presentable. I decided to wear my nicest pair of skinny jeans, which happened to be black, and a nice shirt that was red. I put a black vest on top of it along with a black tie. I look pretty good if I do say so myself.

I walked downstairs and I could hear my sister and Chloe talking in the living room. When I walked into the room, all conversation stopped and Chloe turned to me with a smile. I smiled back and went over to her. Damn she looks gorgeous. Hell, she always looks gorgeous though. She was wearing a slim black dress that showed a little bit of cleavage and it stopped mid leg. She also wore black heels to match with her hair up in a cute bun on her head.

"Well don't you clean up nicely." Chloe said with a smile once I reached her.

I pulled her into a hug and kissed her softly. "Why thank you. I have to look good enough for my gorgeous mate, even though I can't even hold a candle to you. You really do look beautiful Chloe."

She blushed and pulled away from me. I heard Annika clear her throat and say, "All right you two lovebirds, it's time to hit the road."

I chuckled and took Chloe's hand in mine and led the way to the door. Before I left, Annika whispered into my ear where only I could hear it. "If you need any help, you know how to reach me. Be careful okay?"

I nodded my head and smiled and followed Chloe out the door. Once we were in the car and on our way, she finally decided to say something. "So, try not to be too detailed in your responses okay Beca? Like I said, my Aunt Emily can be very controlling and she likes to mix words around and try to find ways to make your life a living hell."

I chuckled and squeezed her hand gently. "Chloe, breath. It will be okay I promise. I really don't think this dinner will be as bad as you think."

"You say that now, but once you meet her you will understand." Chloe said and continued to drive.

We finally pulled into a long driveway that led into a closed off wooded-like area. The road led to a two story white house that seemed very old-styled like. There was a wrapped around porch along with a small little pond in the back. Chloe turned off her vehicle and we both got out.

She turned to me and said, "Are you sure you're ready to do this? Because if you're not, I would completely understand. I'm sure I could find some way to tell her that we can't make it tonight."

I smiled and kissed her cheek softly, making her calm down instantly. "Chloe, it's going to be okay I promise. I don't get scared off easily, I'm a lycan remember?"

She smiled, but I could tell it wasn't a genuine one. I wonder what that's all about? I shook it off and followed her to the door. We didn't even have to knock when the door was swung opened and her Aunt Emily greeted us. Looking at her aunt, I could tell she was related to Chloe. She had her red hair, but she wasn't nearly as gorgeous as Chloe is. I could tell she is probably in her mid forties to early fifties and that she is very intelligent. I could also tell why Chloe thinks she is controlling. The way she presents herself makes it seem like she is better than the other person and that she would be quick to tell you the reasons why too. I'm not sure if I like her yet. The way she looked at Chloe made my inner wolf growl. I don't think I like her at all. She's looking at our mate like she's the scum of the Earth. You noticed that too? Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it. I felt myself growl lightly, making both Chloe and her aunt look at me. Chloe gave me the "knock it off" eyes and her aunt only gave me a curious look.

She quickly pushed that feature off her face and said, "Hello, I'm Chloe's Aunt Emily, but you can just call me Emily if you would like. You must be Rebecca Mitchell."

"Oh um…it's just Beca ma'am. But it's nice to meet you." I said while sticking my hand out for her to shake.

She took it strongly and with a very firm grasp. It's almost like she's trying to tell me who is boss here… She let go of it after a minute and said, "My, you have a firm handshake. That's always a good sign. Why don't you girls come in? Supper is just about ready."

When her aunt turned around to go into the house, Chloe and I turned to look at one another awkwardly. We slowly walked into the house, and let me tell you…I can tell that this woman has seen places. She has ancient artifacts hanging everywhere. Also, she has a crest-like symbol engraved in almost every artifact that she has as well. I feel like I've seen this symbol somewhere…I know that Chloe has it around her house as well…maybe it's just some stupid family crest type thing. Something is not right…you need to be on high alert. I felt my canines enlarge just a little bit, but thankfully not to where it is noticeable. My body grew more tense and I could tell it was my inner beast trying to be on defensive mode. Relax. It's just Chloe and her aunt. We are around Chloe all the time, so what makes right now any different? You clearly don't understand the words something is not right. Just pay more attention. I sighed softly and followed Chloe into the house.

"Now, this is the living room. Why don't you two girls have a seat while I finish cooking dinner." Emily said with a smile.

We both took a seat on the couch while she walked into the kitchen. I turned to Chloe with a smile, or as much of one as I can manage considering my body is going into hyper drive right now. Chloe noticed and scooted closer to me and placed her hand on my arm.

"Are you okay Beca?" She then leaned in closer and whispered so I could only hear. "You're not going to wolf out are you? Because right now would really be a terrible place to do that." Chloe giggled and rubbed my arm gently.

Ask about the symbol. Geez, one thing at a time. Now. I nodded my head and said tensely, "Yeah…I'm fine. I'm just a little nervous I guess. But uh…could I ask you a question?"

Chloe nodded her head and said, "Sure Becs, anything."

"Um…what's up with that symbol that's basically everywhere?" I asked curiously.

Chloe scrunched her eyes in confusion and asked, "What symbol are you talking about?"

I could tell she was feigning innocence because her heart rate picked up a little bit. You're right, something isn't right here. It's not like Chloe to be hiding things from me. "There's a symbol on basically every artifact that your aunt has hanging up. I feel like I've seen it before, but I'm not quite sure where."

Chloe's facial expression got a little nervous as she looked around. "Oh, that symbol! You've probably seen it at my house Becs. It's just a family crest that's been around for centuries. It's nothing special."

I didn't get another chance to ask any more questions because Chloe's aunt chose that moment to call us for dinner. So far dinner has gone fairly uneventful. Emily made some fancy type of steak, which was actually really delicious. As for the question asking, it was fairly light, like your typical interrogation questions. We were in the middle of conversation when my bladder decided to make itself known.

"Um…I was wondering where your bathroom was? It seems like I've drank too much sweet tea." I said while laughing a little.

Emily laughed some and said, "Oh that's alright. The bathroom is upstairs and to the left."

I smiled and excused myself and went to the stairs. While walking up, I saw that she had pictures aligned along the walls. I stopped to admire them and quickly grew to realize that they must have been Chloe's parents and younger sister. Aw, her sister would have looked just liked her. And I can definitely tell she got her looks from her mother. She's like an exact replica of her. After going upstairs, I turned to the left and couldn't seem to find the bathroom since all the doors were shut. Hm…guess I will be guessing then. I decided on the first door and when I opened it, I could tell it wasn't the bathroom. I was about to shut the door when something caught my eye. Me being the curious person that I am, I decided to go inside the room to see more. I probably should so not be doing this, but if Chloe isn't going to give me specific answers, then maybe this room can.

I went inside and shut the door before turning on the light. The room was covered in pictures, along with that same stupid symbol that I know I have seen before. I started off looking at the pictures and what I saw made me sick. Please don't tell me… I looked at more pictures and then I came across one that broke my heart completely. I took it off the wall and sat down with it. I looked down at the picture and saw my parents looking back at me, but they didn't have any life left in their eyes. I felt tears slowly slide down my face as I dropped the picture. I went over to the wall and read a slip of paper that was placed by the picture.

It read:

September 23rd, 1930

We finally managed to track down the Mitchells today. They were hiding in a cave off in the mountains. Warren and Alexandria Mitchell definitely put up a good fight. In fact, they were probably the best hunt we have had so far. Unfortunately though, their two daughters Beca and Annika were not found. We aren't sure where they are or could be, but we will find them.

I felt anger suddenly surge through my body. Crumpling up the paper, I threw it on the ground and started to shake. I now know why that symbol looks familiar. I saw it on the night my parents died. Annika and I were sent to go hunt for food, now that I think it was on purpose, the night the hunters came. When we arrived back at the cave, the whole pack was slaughtered. They must have taken that picture of my parents before they cut off their heads and sliced their bodies apart. Then a sudden realization hit me: Chloe knew about this. She has known all along what her family is. I instantly felt betrayed and more angry than I ever have before. Maybe she is one of them? But how? How can she betray me like this? I suddenly reached over and shattered the glass of another picture on the wall by punching it. I need to leave before I end up destroying this whole room.

I quickly turned off the light and left the room. The closer I came to coming downstairs, the angrier I felt my body become. I was so close to phasing that it physically hurts me holding back. I made it downstairs and by now the two of them were in the living room. I quickly ignored them and went towards the door, which Chloe quickly jumped up and followed.

"Beca! Wait! Where are you going?" Chloe yelled as she desperately tried to get her shoes on.

I slammed open the door and stomped outside, the cold not even phasing me anymore. By now I was shaking even more and breathing heavily. My heart was probably going a million miles per second and my canines where threatening to fall down all the way.

I felt a hand on my arm, and I instantly jerked away. "Do not touch me!" I said while quickly spinning around and lacing nothing but venom in my voice.

Chloe's eyes instantly looked hurt, and I almost felt terrible for lashing out, the keyword being almost. "Will you please tell me what is wrong?"

I laughed viciously and said, "Oh like you don't already know? I mean, you've been hiding all of this from me from the very beginning. You would think that as soon as you found out what I was that you would be at least a little honest with me."

Chloe's eyes scrunched up in confusion for a second until realization hit her. She instantly became worried and tried getting closer to me, which I quickly backed away and said, "I said, do not touch me Chloe. I am seconds away from phasing and if you have any heart left inside you, you would stay away from me right now."

"Beca, how did you find out?"

I laughed again and said, "Out of all the things to ask, you asked how I found out? Really? Well, if you must know, when I got upstairs all the doors were closed so I just started guessing which room it was. And then, I somehow came across this room that had that stupid fucking crest stamped everywhere for all of everyone to fucking see! And it drove me insane because I just knew I've seen it somewhere that wasn't just your house. So, me being the curious person I am I went into the room and turned on the light. Then guess what happened Chloe? I saw the last thing I thought I would ever fucking see hanging on that wall. I saw my parents' lifeless bodies in a fucking picture that was up for display. And then, the best part happened next. I read a letter that was hanging up right next to it describing my parents' deaths and how they were unable to find me or my sister!"

"Beca…I didn't know they killed your parents…I swear to you I didn't. You have to believe me." Chloe said with tears in her eyes.

I had tears in mine as well and I could feel myself getting angrier and angrier by the second. "How can I believe you Chloe? You were my mate, I trusted you with my entire life. Do you know how heartbreaking it is to find out that the person that you are in love with is your sworn enemy? That the person you are in love with is part of the reason why my parents are DEAD, whether you actually did it or not? It fucking hurts Chloe! How dare you?! How dare you sit there and say you didn't know! She's your fucking aunt for Christ's sakes!"

"I…I knew about the room. And I know about what line of work my parents were in and the rest of my family is in. But I swear to you Beca, on everything that means anything to me, that I am not like them. I have never killed another creature, especially a lycan. I never wanted to be placed into this life. That's why my aunt is so hard on me Beca. She wants me to kill you or to at least just kill something, but I told her that I would rather be skinned alive than kill the one person I love with everything that I have. I'm not a killer Beca Mitchell." Chloe said while crying.

I almost wanted to believe her, but I couldn't. How can I? She lied about everything else, so she could be lying about this too. Hunters are good at being fake. They manipulate you until they have you right where they want you. And that is how they kill you. I shook my head and started to back away slowly. "I can't believe you. No matter how many times I tell myself that I want to believe you, I can't believe you. I…I need to get out of here before I hurt you or go inside there and rip your aunt into shreds."

I didn't let her talk before I quickly turned around and started sprinting towards the woods. As soon as my feet hit the wooded ground, I was phased into my true form. I felt nothing but heartache and pain inside me and I wanted it gone. I need to get to a safe place so no one gets hurt.

Chloe's POV

When I found out that Beca finally found out about my secret, I felt absolutely heartbroken. I never meant for her to find out because I knew she would get hurt. I also knew she would never believe me when I told her that I am nothing like my family, and I meant that with every fiber in my being. I stood outside in that same spot just crying harder than I have ever cried. I somehow managed to lean against my car on the ground and curl into a ball. In the middle of my crying, I could hear a very faint howl in the distance, but I knew who it belonged to. I could tell because it was filled with nothing but pain and heartache. I did that to her. I have to fix this. I can't lose the one person who I have ever loved. But not before I have words with my aunt.

I instantly got angry at what I found out she did. How dare she kill Beca's parents! I can't even live with myself just knowing that someone from my family was responsible for their deaths. I stomped into the house and came in on a very startled aunt.

"Chloe, you look like you're about to explode. What happened? Where did Beca run off to?" Aunt Emily said.

I glared at her in so much hate that I think I made her nervous a little bit. I have never felt this angry before. "How dare you!"

"Excuse me?"

"How dare you do that to Beca! You are such an evil, soulless, heartless, bitch! I can't believe we are even related! Because of you, I lost her! I fucking lost her!" I spat out while stomping closer to her.

Emily backed up slowly and said, "What in the hell are you talking about? I didn't do anything to Beca."

I glared at her even more and slapped her face hard. Damn that felt good to do. "How dare you murder her parents! She fucking found out about everything! Now she thinks I'm one of you and she left! I lost her and it's all because of you and you're fucking hunting!" I slapped her again and pushed her hard to the ground.

Emily laughed and smirked. "You're right. I did kill them. I am the reason why your precious little Beca is parentless. I hunted them down centuries ago and watched as they all scattered like sheep! I remember when my sword blade sliced their heads right off and they were torn into several pieces. But, not before I described to them in detail about what I'm going to do to their precious daughters once I found them. And thanks to you, you practically brought them straight to me. And I'm going to make sure you are right by my side as I hunt your precious lycan down."

I grew angrier at each word she said and could feel myself shake. I punched her straight into the nose and made sure she stayed down. I got on top of her and pulled out the knife I always keep on me and held it to her neck and said, "I swear on everything that if you even think about laying one little finger on Beca, I will personally hunt you down myself. I am getting my mate back and when I do, I will be by her side and watch as she rips into your flesh as you beg her to stop. That is a promise I will keep." I got up and put my knife back into its holder on my leg and walked out of the house.

I got in my car and drove off to my house. "I swear Beca, I will get you back. Even if it's just a friend. I need you in my life."

Tada! I told you guys that this chapter was drama filled for ya! But have no fear guys! Our favorite couple always find a way out of sticky situations, right? ;) And I am pretty sure that everyone who is a fan of this story has automatically hated Aunt Emily like one hundred times more, because I know I have and I wrote the chapter. Anyway, I would like to thank you guys again for being such amazing fans. I love you all. =) I promise I will try everything in my power to not make the wait be as long as it was this time, but no promises. I do appreciate all of the patients that I have been getting from you guys though. So thank you all again. =) I couldn't have asked for better fans. =) Until next time.
