Bran cooked me some food and Charles phased back to his human from.

"May I use your bathroom?"

I didn't look at Bran but he knew I was talking to him.

"Sure you may its up stairs the third door to the right."

I said.

"Thank you."

I walked up the stairs and walked to the third door. I knocked on the door there was no answer. So I opened the door walked in the locked the door. Then I walked to the mirror and stared at my self. My gray eyes were the only part of my appearance that took after my father. I pulled out my drown contacts and put them in. They hurt my eyes and dull my eye sight but if they see my eyes, then they would know who my father is. I sighed then made my way back to the kitchen. I pasted a blond headed woman. She just turned up her nose at me like she was better then me. I didn't care but if she lays a hand on my then she is going to have her ass kicked. Bran looked up as I came back in and looked at him in the eye. I could feel his power telling me to look away. I didn't feel like it but I dropped my eyes.

"You have some pretty drown eyes Tega."

I smiled a lil.

"Thank you."

I sat down at the long table on the other side from Charles. He kept looking at me like there was something bothering him.

"Is there something you what to ask me?"

He looked at his father then looked back at me.

"You smell like someone I know but then again you don't."

I lifted up a eyebrow.

"Really and who do I smile like?"

Bran put a huge plate of food in front for me.

"You smell a lil like my brother."

I kept my face straight.

"I never met him. I might heard of him. But I never seen him. I stay away from wolfs?"

I started to eat so I wouldn't talk. Bran sat next to me and took in a deep breath.

"Would you mind not sniffing me while I eat?"

I said in a growl. He just laughed.

"Sorry but my son does have a point. You do smell a lil like my Samuel."

I rolled my eyes.

"There are a lot of wolfs in the world and some of them smell alike."

I had a point there.

"True. So where is your mother?"

I stopped eating.

"She's dead."

I said in a low voice. I wasn't hungry anymore. Thinking about her makes my lose my appetite. "I'm sorry for making you sad."

I looked over at Bran.

Dam wolfs with there scents to smell what you are feeling. Get a grip on your self. You need to shut down your emotions.

"You good at controlling your emotions."

I looked at Charles.

"You could say it runs in the family."

I sighed again.

"Would you like to talk about it?"

Bran said in a low voice. I knew what he was talking about. What should I do? I never told anyone how she died.

"Do you really want to know?"

I said in a strange voice. They looked at each other then nodded.

"Its not a pretty story. When I was five a very black witch wanted me for his mate. I know at the age I was at it was weird. But my mother knew when he was coming for me. She hid me behind the fireplace when he came for me. When he asked her where I was she wouldn't tell him. So he raped her and torture for hours then he did something to her. He left the room but I stayed were I was just in case he was waiting for me to come out. When I didn't he lit the house on fire. If it wasn't for Jean I would have been killed. He took me in for two year then Coyote took me to be raised."

Bran looked at me.

"Who is Coyote?"

I looked at him but Charles was the one who answered.

"He is Mercy's Father."

Bran looked at me.

"Really? He raised you?"

I looked at him.

"Mostly but the other Avatar's helped."

I made a sour face. Just remembering Grandfather made me shiver.

"Avatars?"

I looked at Bran.

"That's the name they like to be called instead of Walkers."

He nodded.

"You need to eat up."

I looked at my food.

"I'm not hungry anymore."

Once I lose my appetite I don't get it back. Bran pulled my plate back in front of me.

"If so just eat it. It will make me fell better to knowing that you have food in you."

I glared at my plate but then started to eat again.

When I was done eating I helped Bran with the dishes.

"You can sleep in one of the spare bedroom."

I looked at him.

"I really should get going."

I turned around to leave but he put a hand on my arm. I pulled away growling.

"Don't touch me!"

I don't like any male touching me.

"Sorry I didn't mean to grab you. But I cant let you leave. You are unmated and it's our law that no female is aloud to be alone wolf."

I looked at him.

"I was mated but he was killed by the same black witch. I don't stay in any place for to long. He owns how to find me if I stay in one place for to long."

He looked at me.

"We wont let him hurt you Tega."

I walked up to him and looked him in the eye.

"I don't let any fight my battles. I don't want anyone to get hurt. He is very powerful and he has a guardian that extend his life and it made him really powerful."

They looked at each other.

"You heard about this or something like it?"

Bran nodded.

"One of our wolfs had a black witch after him. Her family created the guardian but she was the only one that lived. After her family was attacked and killed. Her mother had enough magic to save the youngest one. But how did you witch get the knowledge to make one?"

I looked at him.

"His family was the one that killed her family and took their magic and spells."

He nodded.

"Do you know who's sprite he used?"

I was by the wall I couldn't help it. I put my hand throw the wall "

My mother."

I walked out of the kitchen and headed for the spare room. My hand was bleeding but after I pulled out the drywall. I licked my cuts and they healed. The good news was the I didn't break any bones. Then some one knocked I had my back up against the wall.

"Come in."

Bran walked in. I put my hands under my legs. He had a first ad kit with him.

"Let me see your hand. You cut it I could smell the blood when you walked off."

I didn't move. He came over and sat on the bed in front of me.

"Come on let me see your hand."

I didn't like being told what to do. I took a breath and held out my hand. He looked at it.

"It looks like you heal fast. You didn't even break anything."

He was looking at my hand.

"For a werewolf you heal fast."

I knew he was going to notice that.

"I just eat so yea I'm going to heal fast."

He was still holding my hand. I didn't like it so I pulled it out slowly. He let me go.

"You said you had a mate what happened to him?"

I balled up my fists.

"My witched tortured him in front of me. Ray tortured him for a week before he died. Then when he was done with him Ray moved on to me. . ."

I could still feel the pain he caused me.

"If you are here then how did you get away?"

I closed my eyes.

"He barely fed me. Just enough to keep me alive. Its been ten years scents I got away. He went out for something and I managed to get away and stay away."

He closed his eyes.

"How long did he have you for?"

I opened my eyes and looked at him.

"For three decades."

His eyes snapped opened.

"What did he do to you?"

I looked up.

"Hey raped me, tortured and experimented on me."

I could feel the tests he put me through.

"I'm sorry Tega. But that's why you need to stay here."

I looked at him and my rage started to bubble inside me. My wolf stirred at my rage. She didn't like it when I was mad, she was trying to calm me down.

"I been going fine on my own. I don't do anything that would expose us. I stay away from humans most of the time the only time I do go around them is for small things."

Like sex for one but I wasn't going to tell him that.

"I don't know just stay here for a while. So I can see if it would be ok."

I nodded and I was starting to tired.

"Oh before I forget we going to a party tomorrow. So you are coming with us."

Then he got up and left the room before I could say anything. I slide out of the bed then started to pull off my clothes. I locked the door and as I crawled into the bed. Just in my bra and panties I put my head on the pillow. I drifted off to sleep that night. Not knowing that the next night was going to be hell.
