Carlos's Pov:
Jay and Brae have been fighting for about an hour now, and neither of them seems to be letting up. Evie and Mal have gone to "bed" more like they want to make out but Evie is too nice to say so, Mal, on the other hand, her smirk said it all. The pirates are still here, I think, I...my eyes haven't left my sand colored best friend since they started fighting.
"De Vil." Uma said suddenly.
I looked at the daughter of Ursula, she had her arms folded across her chest, Harry and Gil were standing behind her. I could feel my body shake with terror. The atmosphere was so heated that it made all of us tense being around each other.
"Yes, Uma." I gulped.
She walked forward so that she was in front of me."Did I hear you correctly, when you were talking to Fg, about hearing Jay's thoughts?" she asked relaxing a little.
"Yes, why?" I demanded, feeling the need to protect Jay.
"Because I can hear Brae's," she said. "I don't...know why...neither does Brae...and all…I can hear...from her i.. is growling and...like grunting." she said clearly worried about the multi-colored wolf.
I turned toward the fighting wolves, I saw Brae, her orange eyes were on Uma, she stopped fighting for a second to look at the aqua haired girl, and in that second it took Jay to get Brae under him and his teeth at her throat. Uma and the boys gasped, as Brae, whined in pain, she moved her head down more.
"Why is she submitting?" I asked aloud. "She is submitting, right?"
"Yeah, maybe because she isn't strong enough to take Jay, mentally, emotionally, or physically. When me and Wolfie got together, she mentioned how Jay was always in control...so he must have been more dominant, with her being more submissive?"
I nodded. "She usually was...unless she disagreed with someone or someone she loved got hurt or made fun of. She always protected me from Jay." I looked back at Uma. "So what are they fighting for?"
"Alpha position." Harry spoke up.
Me and Uma raised our eyebrows at the Scottish boy.
"It makes sense," Gil agreed. "Both Jay and Brae are second in command to somebody, Jay to Mal, Brae to Uma. But in a pack of wolves, with only two, one of them has to step up to be alpha. Even with Brae being the born wolf, and Jay the bitten. Whoever submits is the beta, the winner, the last one standing is the alpha."
"The last one standing?" Uma asked fearing the worst for her fiancee. "Would he kill her."
Before Gil or Harry could answer we heard the sounds of bones breaking. Uma and I looked to see if our wolves were fine. As they changed back, their naked skin, tore through fur. Jay looked apologetic as Brae looked like she was about to pass out, both blooded, Brae more than Jay. I didn't know who to go to, my best friend, or the girl who is my adopted mom. Brae must have known I was having trouble as she nodded her head toward Jay. I walked over to the thief, as Uma followed me going to her fiancee .
"So...who is alpha?" Uma asked.
Brae and Jay looked surprised. "Gil figured it out. And well...Harry too." I told the wolves.
"Oh,...Uh, Jay is alpha." Brae said weakly.
"I'm…"Jay started to say.
"Don't Jay, it's…" she breathed heavily like it was hard to breathe, "it's not your fault, I bit you, I didn't...think you would turn...dad never told me…he never told me a lot after...mom died he kinda closed up." she started to slump, Gil went over to her and caught her just as she fell.
"We have to take her to the nurse she lost too much blood." Jay said panicked.
The five of us ran to the nurse with Gil carrying an unconscious Brae.
"Dude go get Mal and Evie now." I ordered the Mutt.
Dude's Pov:
I ran to the girls' room as fast as my four legs could carry me. Boy was I lucky that Carlos put in a dog door to the girls' room. They were still up.
"Dude? What's wrong?" Evie said noticing me coming in.
"Brae is really hurt, she is unconscious." I ran out again back to my boy.
I heard the girls running after me. 10 minutes of running, we got to the hospital. Mal ran to the desk.
"Braelynn Wolfe, what room is sh…" she started.
"Mal!" my boy called.
There sat the five of them, Gil was covered in Brae's blood, Jay has scrubs on, Harry, and Gil was holding a crying Uma.
"Where's Brae?" Evie asked.
"They...took her...they...wouldn't let...they don't know if...she…" my boy could barely speak.
Evie walked over to my boy and hugged him. "She will make it 'Los, she's too stubborn to die."
Mal walked over to Uma. "Us hating each other has caused to much hurt to the one we care about."
"I don't...hate you, Mal, I don't think I ever did you know, I was just upset about the shrimp, you coming to auradon, and you forgetting your roots."
"But I never did Uma, you and Brae and our family are my roots, I felt incomplete without you four with us."
"Our family?"
"Yes the 10 of us."
"10?"
"Yea I added Dizzy cause Evie would kill me if I didn't add our 'adopted daughter' and Dude." Mal laughed.
"So you want us to be a family?"
Mal nodded. "Yes for Brae, because I know she misses us."
"Umie...what about...you know...kidnapping Ben?" Harry mentioned.
"I am able to look past that, what about you guys." she looked at my boy, Jay, and Evie.
They nodded, "well...then there is something we need to tell you." Uma said as she looked guilty.
"What?" Jay asked.
Evie's Pov:
"When Mal came back to the isle after Harry saw her at tremaines, he came barging in as me and Brae were making out…"
"Wait you were together then...I kissed her when she was dating you, and I thought she was dating me." Jay said.
Uma nodded. "I knew she was acting weird." I said.
"Anywho…he told us that Mal was back...Brae had a panic attack, then she came up with a plan." Uma continued.
"What kinda plan?" Mal asked folding her arms.
"One that would get us off the isle. While she went to spy on the four of you, Harry and I would wait until you lost sight of Ben and nab him." Gil continued. "Once the king was in our hands, Harry told you that Uma wanted a meeting, the wand for the king. Brae then would listen to your plan, when you decided to get a fake wand and smoke bombs, Brae told us. And Uma made a new deal with Ben."
"Why wou...why did she do that?" Carlos asked.
"Because she..was mad at you four for leaving." Harry said. "She was upset, that her family would leave and forget about her."
"But we never did." I said. "She...she is family…"
'I might have been jealous about her and Mal's relationship, but she is family...she is my big sister and I care about her. She can't die.'
"Are you able to forgive us for using you?" Uma asked.
We nodded.
"Uma, tomorrow, you and I should look up why we can hear Brae and Jay's thoughts." Carlos said.
"Yeah as long as Brae is fine."
We waited one hour until the doctor came out who happens to be Doug's uncle.
"Who is Braelynn Wolfe's family." he said.
We all stood up.
"Her immediate family?" he asked again.
"Me and Uma, I'm her half-brother, and Uma is her fiancee. But all of us are her family." Harry said.
Doc sighed. "What's wrong, Doc?" I asked.
"She is very lucky that her wolf genes allow her to heal fast, but I don't think she will be able to heal at like a supernatural creature anymore, her healing rate is now that of a human's. She will have a scar on her face, her torso and left shoulder." he told us. "But she is very much alive."
"Oh thank Lucifer." Uma breathed, crying with happiness. "Can we see her?" she asked.
"Yes she is awake, but still very weak. She is in room 14" he said leaving.
Uma's Pov:
I ran to the room, but as I got closer to the door I slowed down until finally room 14 was in front of me. I looked down the hall and the others have yet to get here. I slowly walked in leaving the door open.
"Hello, love." the sound of my Scottish fiancee hit my ears.
"Hi, Wolfie." I walked toward her.
She had three scratch marks on her face that were stitched up. Her shoulder and torso were bandaged up as well.
"You scared me, Wolfie…"
Brae's Pov:
"...I thought...I...I thought you...I almost lost you." she started to sob.
"Come here." I told her. She walked to my bed. "Lay down, Love. I'm not going anywhere, if I did die, I would find a way to get back to you." I reassured her.
She laid down carefully.
"But I thought…" she tried to speak again.
"Shhh, my love, I'm alive, I'm breathing, and I'm not leaving you or our family." I kissed her head.
I noticed the others at the door. Jay stepped forward.
"Brae, I'm..so…" he started to apologize again.
"It's fine, Jay-Jay, it's not your fault."
"Yeah it is, I almost killed you, I...we almost lost you." he looked down.
"Jay if you need forgiveness, then you have it, your forgiven, but Jay I do not blame you if I blamed anyone then I blame myself." I tried to smile but it hurt. "Please for me don't blame yourself, Jay."
He nodded, as Carlos stepped toward the bed.
"Why did you spy on us?" he asked.
I looked at my pup surprised, they must have told them. I breathed in deeply then groaned as pain shot through my body.
"I was angry for a while, pup, and that to me was the only way I could get my revenge on you."
He nodded slowly, he started to yawn. "You best get to bed pup." I told him.
"I'll take him to bed." Evie and Jay said at the same time.
"Goodnight you three." I said as they left.
Harry sat in the chair next to my bed and pulled Gil in his lap. Mal was leaning against the door.
"What are you thinking about, Maly?"
"Oh…Nothing." she lied glancing at her feet.
"Uhuh…" she looked back up, she knew I didn't believe her. "Come on, you can tell me."
She looked like she was about to move but was afraid. "Your my sister we have been apart for 6 months, and it took you almost dying to put our family back together. How can I have been so stupid to not push Ben into getting more Villain kids off that isle. I'm so sorry Brae."
"Don't be sorry Mal, it's not your fault it's Beast for leaving kids there."
She opened her mouth to speak but Doc came in. "Visiting hours are over kids, go back to your dorms." he said.
"Doc?" Uma called before he left.
"Yes?"
"Will she be able to turn into a wolf again?"
"Not for a while, she needs to build up her strength." he answered leaving.
"Night." Mal, Harry, and Gil said.
"Night, chickens."
Me and Uma were the only ones left. She kissed me very passionately.
"I love you." she told me.
"I love you too, I always will." she left, as my eyes got droopy.
*the next day*
Uma's Pov:
I woke up to a cold bed and someone knocking at my door. I got up dressed in some of Brae's shorts and a tank top and answered the door. Standing there with a smile though it wasn't as happy as usual was Carlos.
"I figured that we would go to the library for information."
I nodded. "Lead the way."
20 minutes later we are at the huge library. At the desk is...that girl that came to the isle with the four to save Ben, Lonnie I think.
"Hey Lon, do you have any books about werewolves?" Carlos asked.
"Um yeah follow me." she said walking to an aisle.
On the way there she ran into Ben, they met each other's eyes.
"Sorry Ben." she apologizes.
"Is...it's fine, I wasn't watching where I was going." he sounded flabbergasted.
Carlos chuckled, he must have noticed.
"It's...okay." she said.
"Lonnie the book." Carlos said.
"Right."
Ben smiled at the girl as we left. She took us to the very back. "There is only one book." she handed it to us.
It is called, 'Being with a wolf' by Milah Hook.
'Wait... what, Brae's mom wrote this, but how…'
"Uma?" Carlos asked.
"Let's sit down." I said grabbing the book.
I went to an empty table and opened the book. I started to read aloud.
'To my second born, Braelynn Milah Wolfe, in this book is everything your mate will need to know. I love you, my sweet girl.
To my daughter's mate, you must be very special for Brae to love you, she's a lot like her father, doesn't trust anyone, even at the age of 7, she only trusts Harry. Please understand that if anything happened to me please find my sister, Ruby, she is most commonly known as red riding hood, she has letters for all of my children, please take care of them.
In the table of contents, there are six chapters.
Chapter one: shifting
Chapter two: packs
Chapter three: mates
Chapter four: mind reading
Chapter five: living with a wolf
Chapter six: weakness
"Which do you want?" I asked Carlos.
"Mind reading."
I nodded.
Chapter four: mind reading
Brae and her father's family are very special wolves. For generations of born and bitten wolves, their mates have always been able to read the wolves minds while shifted. No one knows why it just is. I started to read Brice's mind when I was 16, but at that time I was already married to James Hook. I was able to find Brice at age 25, by his thoughts. We got to know each other and fell in love. But I was never able to get away from James it got harder with the barrier and Ursula watching my every move when Brice was around. At 28 I had Harriet, 9 months later I had Brae. With the magic barrier, it didn't just take magic powers it took Brice's ability to shift, and the mindreading.
Bryce's grandfather told me that once the relationship between wolf and mate gets strong enough, they can talk in human form. But the only way that is possible is by the mating bite, which, you read in chapter three. Mind Reading only happened to mates who are true loves, who are meant to be together.
Brice wasn't the alpha, his sister's mate was, so Brae, may or may not be alpha. They say that whoever is alpha has the strongest mate, that is able to handle them, and their wolf mind. The alpha's mate can read all the packs and wolves' mates mind, they are submissive, to the dominant wolf, but the alpha listens to the mate.
That was all she wrote, so it basically means me and Brae are mates, and Carlos and Jay are mates. I looked at the younger boy and he looked to be in shock.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Me and Jay are mates...wow." he shook his head. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm great." he mumbled.
"You like him don't you?"
"Yes but he doesn't like me."
"Have you talked to him about it?"
"No."
"Well when you do and he hurts you in any way, I'll kick his ass." I said surprising both of us.
"Really?"
"Yeah, you're now like my adopted son given that Brae acts like your mother."
"Yeah okay."
"Now let's go to chapter three, for the mating bite thing."
"Yeah."
Chapter three: mates
I don't know how to explain it… especially if by chance teenagers read this. So I'm just going to say it, sorry in advance. When a wolf and their mate are either making out or just before they have...sex, the wolf will get the urge to bite their mate at the pulse point on the right side of the mate's neck. No, you will not turn, that spot on the body is the only part that a wolf can bite without the human turning. It will hurt at first, but after a little while it will become a sort of numb feeling, and feel hot to the touch.
The mating bite finalizes the relationship, once you have the bite, your wolf will not look at another. You become their entire world, their moon, their universe. If you die before them, they will die of a broken heart, they will close themselves off, stay away from people. In rare occasions, they will get very violet attacking everything and everyone.
Me and Carlos looked at each other, both of us put our hand on the right side. We laughed, I stood up. "Imma find Lonnie, to check out this book."
Carlos nodded. I went to the front desk were...Doug was.
"Doug, where is Lonnie?" I asked as nicely as I could.
"Sh..she went to the history section to show Ben a book."
I walked over to where Lonnie and the King were and stopped in my tracks. I shook my head not believing what I am seeing, closing then reopening my eyes. In the corner of the history section is Lonnie with her legs wrapped around Ben's waist as they make out furiously. I cleared my throat, making the two new lovebirds jump.
"Uh…Lonnie, I um wanted to check this book out." I stuttered as they started to blush.
"Doug can check it out for you."
I nodded and left quickly, but not quickly enough as I heard Ben ask her if she will be his girlfriend, to which she happily said yes. I walked back up front.
"Did you find her."
"Uh, no she wasn't there." I lied
"Huh weird, so what did you need help with?"
"I wanted to check out this book." I handed it to him.
He scanned it and handed it back, I walked back to Carlos.
"You look like you just saw a ghost." he said.
"No...more like Lonnie and Ben kissing."
"Really?" I nodded. "About time, she has had a crush on him for a while, even when he was dating Mal."
"Yeah, it was shocking, to say the least."
"Do you want to visit Brae?"
I looked at him like 'are you serious.' "Duh, she is my fiancee."
We left and headed to the hospital, where we heard Brae and Evie talking, we stopped before the door so neither one would see us.
Evie's Pov:
"We have been sitting here in silence for an hour, what's up princess?" Brae asked.
"The other day...Carlos might have mentioned that I was jealous of your relationship with Mal when we were on the isle." I told her.
"Why were you jealous?"
"I guess, I...was afraid."
"Afraid of what princess?"
"That one day, you and Jay would break up, and you and Mal would get together."
She started to laugh. "Oh honey, Mal is like a sister to me… I know we joked about getting together, but...we never would, and I couldn't it would hurt you, as you have always loved her, it is already bad enough that I hurt my pup."
"But you were with Jay before we became a family."
"True but it still hurts that I hurt him."
"I know, but try to forgive yourself, Brae, now you can try to get them together."
"Has Jay…."
"Yes he has, and Carlos has loved him since Maleficent's staff."
"And you how long have you loved Mal?"
"Since my sixth birthday party."
"Wow."
"What about you and Uma? And when were you going to tell us that you are related to the hooks?"
"Six months after you four left, about 2 before Mal ran away, mine and Harry's annoyingly pushy big sister, took me to Ursula's shoppe to see my brother for the first time in 10 years, Uma and I got to talking, but the second I saw her, I knew I had to...I needed to be with her, that she mattered more than anything. She is my reason for living, why I survived last night, I truly, deeply, uncontrollably love her, princess." she breathed in deeply. "She...when I picture the future, she is right next to me. You know when all your life you are looking for a prince charming?"
I nodded. "But your prince ended up a princess." I answered.
"Yes, you understand."
I nodded. "I do, boy do I, now Harry?"
"I wasn't at the time, I always thought that we would be in rival gangs, so to protect him and my sister, I never said anything."
"You put too much on your shoulders Brae, you don't need to protect us, not anymore, we are safe, our parents can't touch us."
"Maleficent did." she sat up, groaning as she did so. "I will stop protecting you 8 when your parents are dead or I am, whichever comes first."
"We won't let you die." Uma said coming in, with Carlos following.
"How much did you hear?" I asked.
"Brae saying 'we have been sitting here in silence for an hour, what's up princess?'." Carlos said.
"I'm gonna go." I said.
"I'll visit you another time Brae." Carlos said as he followed me.
Brae's Pov:
"So you must really love me." Uma said sitting in the chair that Evie was just in.
"I do, very very much."
"I love you, more than words can describe."
"I know,...so did you find anything at the library?" she looked at me surprised. "Mal told me this morning."
"Yeah, I found a book...Ben and Lonnie kissing." I noticed a book in her hand.
"What's the book?"
What she told me, I didn't expect.
"It is called, 'Being with a wolf' by Milah Hook." she told me.
"My…my mum...wrote a...book?" she handed it to me.
I opened and read in my head.
'To my second born, Braelynn Milah Wolfe, in this book is everything your mate will need to know. I love you, my sweet girl.
To my daughter's mate, you must be very special for Brae to love you, she's a lot like her father, doesn't trust anyone, even at the age of 7, she only trusts Harry. Please understand that if anything happened to me please find my sister, Ruby, she is most commonly known as red riding hood, she has lets for all of my children, please take care of them.'
I flipped through the pages, then I stopped at the end. There was a letter attached,
'My children,
Harriet, you are 8, Brae, you just turned 8, harry, you are 7. I have to tell you how much I love you all. The past few days, I have been having this horrible feeling when I am around James, and Ursula, I haven't been able to go to Brice. I made a deal with Maleficent, Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella, to watch out for you three if something happens to me. If Ursula is why I am no longer with you, I want you to stay away from her offspring. Find a way to my sister, until you can stay with Maleficent or one of the other three.
I love you three, so so much.
Always mum'
"Wolfie?" Uma asked rubbing under my eyes.
"I...this is the last thing I have of my mum, and she…" I stood up not caring about the pain. "And…she basically….sold...me, Harriet and Harry too, Maleficent, Evil Queen, Jafar and Cruella….then she says for us to stay away from…"
"Away from who?" I turned around to face her.
"From you," I pointed at her. "To stay away from you."
After I said that I wish I hadn't, her face morphed into one that was clearly upset.
"Why would she...say that?" her eyes started to swell with tears.
"I don't know...but when she was alive I barely listened to her, and I'm not now. I love you too much to lose you over a stupid letter."
"Are you going to show Harry?"
"Yeah because she was his mother too."
"What about your aunt?"
"I don't know, when Harriet gets here we will decide."
She nodded but before she could say anything the nurse came in ordering back in bed.
*a week later*
No one's Pov:
Brae was finally let out of the hospital. During the time she was in there and being let out, Jay and Carlos secretly got together. The same night they got together Jay gave Carlos the Mating bite. Ben set the dance for the day Brae got released, everyone is going, some couples people were expecting like, Mal-Evie, Jane-Audrey, Uma-Brae, Gil-Harry(with all single girls disappointed at not having Harry), then there were the very, shocking, you would never think they would end up together, and the finally they pulled their heads from their asses and got together, like Ben-Lonnie, Chad-Doug, Jay-Carlos. But the most surprising couple in the history of Auradon couples would be Dude and his Doberman/shar-pei girlfriend named Honey, let's just say they were crowned the cutest couple at the dance.
The 7 human couples gathered in a corner to talk about how they got together.
Mal and Evie talked about Evie pushing Mal into telling her who she liked. Jane and Audrey told the group that it was after Ben's coronation, they were talking, and one thing leads to another, that brought them kissing each other, then confessing their and Brae, they just simply said that they met each other's eyes in the shoppe and knew they needed to be together. Gil and Harry said they got drunk one night and the next morning they woke up in each other's arms, Harry, the secret sap he is, admitted his feelings for Gil at that moment. Ben and Lonnie, blushed and stuttered way to much to be able to talk properly so Carlos and Uma told the couples how Ben and Lonnie got together, Uma was beet red with embarrassment as Jay, Mal, Brae and Chad laughed at how she found them. Chad and Doug are really adorable and romantic, Chad, got help from the R.O.A.R team with holding a sign that says 'Doug will you be my prince?' in the music room. Jay handed Carlos 24 roses, one of which is fake, saying I'll keep loving you until the last rose petal falls off.
The night ends way past midnight, no glass slipper in the end, but happy couples human and nonhuman kissing under the neon lights.
