1Hey just so you guys know I update like everyday, if not every other day. I usually post the chapters late at night around like 10:30 11:00, so check around then. Enjoy!
Oh and from now on when its like this it's the wolf and when it's like this it's Derek.
SPOV
I was on my way home from basketball practice, the house keeper Annette driving me home. Practice was okay, but since I go to an art school, most of the kids pretty much suck. Not to say that just because you go to an art school automatically makes you bad at sports, its just that's how it is with this school. Personally I love to draw, but if I had a choice, I'd rather go to public school. To me it's easier. But my adoptive sister Chloe goes, so I told my adoptive Dad that I would go to. It's probably a good thing. This way I can make sure that nobody makes fun of her stutter. A lot of people thought it was weird and meant she was slow, but I quickly set them straight. I thought that Chloe's stutter was kind of cute, just like pretty much everything else about her. Yes, I'm crushing on my adoptive sister, and yeah, I know it's wrong, but I can't help who I fall for.
"Okay Simon, we're here. I've got to go pick up groceries and I'll be back in an hour. If Chloe ate all of the brownies I left-again- I hid an extra bag for you in the top left cabinet where she can't reach," Annette said.
I thanked her and headed inside. I stepped into the kitchen to get those brownies and saw Chloe, with her back towards me, rummaging through the cabinets. I just couldn't help myself, a moment like this was too good to pass up. I quietly walked up to her and rapped my arms around her, lifting her up off the ground spinning in circles. She squealed. "Simon Bae, you let me go this instant!"
"Never,"I said playfully.
Next thing I knew someone grabbed me by the back of my shirt and pinned me against the wall.

"Here, go try these on in the bathroom. They should fit I think." She handed me some clothes and I made my way to the bathroom. I tried them on. Yeah, I guess they fit okay. They were a little tight, but could he really complain after not having clothes this expensive since... well never. I can't believe she's that nice that she'd take me in like this. Noone I'd ever met had ever cared for me this way. It felt kind of weird, knowing you had someone you could rely on and not have to keep everything to yourself, but I liked it. It felt good. Better than good.
I got out of the bathroom and froze. Why hadn't I noticed it before? Another person was in the driveway, someone Chloe didn't say she was expecting. It was weird though. The persons scent seemed to be everywhere inside the house. Her keeper maybe? Wait, no, her Dad. She'd called him her Dad. I still wasn't sure what that meant, but I liked the way it sounded when she'd said it. She made it sound like something that was warm and inviting, instead of cold and harsh. He'd only heard that name used as a taunt when he was found by other werewolves. But the way she used it... it didn't sound bad at all.
Out of nowhere I heard someone scream. Chloe! I ran into the kitchen to find someone had a tight hold on her, lifting her off the ground.
"Simon Bae, you put me down this instant!"
I grabbed the boy by the shirt and pinned up against the wall. He yelped and looked at me wide-eyed.
"No! Wait, it's okay, he's my brother," she said alarmingly. I loosened my grip and set him down gently. I still wasn't completely at ease, so I stepped protectively in front of Chloe.
"Derek,"she said.
I shuttered. Her voice is melodic... okay I have to agree with the wolf, it kind of is. But why was I shuttering, all she did was say my name. Lots have people have said my name before, and it hadn't had any affect on me. Damn, this girl is so frustrating!
"This is Simon Bae, my adoptive brother. Simon, this is Derek."
I looked up at him and saw him. I mean really saw him. And I knew why his scent had seemed so familiar before. It wasn't just because his scent was all around the house, it was because he's the kid that used to visit me in the lab before I ran away. I smiled.
"Hi, you're..." I trailed off letting him fill in the blank. Seeing if he remembered me before I pulled him into this.
He smiled too. That same smile I saw the day I left. "The boy from the lab? Yeah." I saw Chloe giving us a confused look out of the corner of my eye. I realized I never explained about that part of my life. Crap.
"Where did you go? I kept asking the nurses about you, but they said that you got transferred. What happened?"
"Wait, what? I-I'm so confused r-right n-now."
"Sorry Chlo, why don't we go into the living room I'll explain in there."
She gave him an odd look, but didn't object when he put his arm around her and lead her to the living room. The wolf in me growled, he shouldn't be touching her, go stop him before he steals her! I shook the thought off with a small growl and a sharp shake of my head. He was her brother-technically- so I shouldn't worry about him 'stealing' her. Besides why would I care if he did? She's just a nice, gorgeous girl who helped me in a time of need. That's all, I have no romantic feelings for her, end of story. Kind of. I mean sure she's the most angelic creature I've ever seen, but it's not like I need her.
Oh, so she's angelic now...
Will you be quiet?
Anyways, I just met Chloe, therefor I can not have feelings for her. Right?
