.:Chapter Seven – Aura's POV:.
A shiver runs down my spine as I step onto the porch, and then proceed to shake as much water as I could off myself. I look up through wet, tangled hair when the door suddenly bursts open, Lily' eyes widen when she sees my drenched form standing there.
"Why didn't you call us?" she demands as she walks towards me. "Marcus get me a towel or something!" she yells back into the house.
"Why do you need a towel?" he asks, and then pops his head around the door.
I shrug with a lift of my arms, causing water to fly off me and hit Lily's t-shirt and lower face. I smile guiltily at this, but Lily just shrugs it off and instantly begins to pull my hoodie off. As soon as it hits the floor beside me, she helping me pull off my top.
It was lucky that we didn't get cold easily, but this was one of those moments when such weather would effect us. With a sigh I quickly undo my quarter length jeans, and kick them into the small pile forming, along with my red skytops, and socks.
"Whoo,.. cover up!". I look round quickly when I hear Luka yell.
I growl at him just as Marcus comes out with a towel. Marcus falters slightly when he sees me do this.
"Not you Marc!" I tell him.
Marcus nods as he passes the towel to Lily, who in turn quickly pulls it around my shoulders. I nod in thanks as I pull it tighter around me, and then wipe my hair from my face. Marcus grabs the pile of clothes and then disappears back into the house. That's what I meant about them been the parents of the pack.
"Be glad we got everything from the motor-home down already" Lily tells me as she places an around loosely around my shoulder. "And the house was already stocked with everything, well except food".
"Well that's a good thing, and we can go shopping later if we need to" I tell her with a small smile.
Lily nods as she ushers me through into the house. I stop though when I see Luka still stood by the door, and looking off into the distance with a look of love in his eyes. I motion for Lily to go ahead with a smile, to which she nods and does so. I then turn towards Luka.
"Are you happy now?" I asks, brushing my hair from my face so I can see him fully.
"It's everything I've ever wanted" he replies, he then looks down at me. "But do I deserve it?".
I scowl at that and slap him across the back of the head. Luka jumps slightly with a hissing sound, much like a cat, which cause me to growl at him. He growls back, the right side of his upper lip lifting slightly as he shows teeth.
"What The Fuck!" he demands as he holds the back of his head.
I grab his ear in a hard pinch and pulling him towards me, my other hand keeping hold of the towel as I glare at him. Luka hisses again at the pain.
"First off, don't swear at me Beta! Second off, how could you think such a pansy arsed thing?" I snarl at him in my Alpha voice
I let go of his ear, causing him to stumble back. Luka looks at me with fear, his eyes glazing over as he backs off slightly, a low whine coming from the back of his throat., a hand rubbing his reddening ear.
"We're freaks, yeah, so what? But that doesn't mean we don't deserve a normal life!" I bark at him.
Luka stands slowly, but keeps a steady eye on me. "I'm sorry,.. We've just been running for so long, that it's got so hard knowing what I'm allowed, and what I'm not allowed".
"How could you ever think you don't deserve this? After everything you've done for me! I don't care how many demons I have to fight, because you three deserve normal, human lives. And your gonna have them, whether you think you deserve them or not!" I snap at him.
Tears build up in my eyes as I look at him, my anger was still there, but the sadness and frustration was slowly taking over it. Luka suddenly moves forward and pull my into his warm embrace. I grip the back of his hoodie as he tucks my head under his chin.
"I'm sorry pup" he tells me, placing a kiss to my hairline.
"Don't ever think that! Ok? You deserve this" I tell him, my tears now falling, wetting my face once again.
Luka pulls back slightly, and cups my face as he says "I won't, cause I don't like seeing you cry".
"Ohh, and another thing, you ever hiss at me like a cat again, I'll make you live like one. You understand me?" I say as I look at him.
Luka nods quickly a look of fear in his eyes, but he quickly fights it and then kisses my forehead, and leads me into the house. I half smile when I see Lily stand with a cup of coffee in her hand, a soft smile in place. I take it and then allow her to lead me to one of the seats that were placed around the kitchen table. I look round when Marcus walks into the room, a new set of clothes in his hand.
"I didn't know if you wanted a bath, what with tonight been...". He pauses at this, a look of guilt on his face and then he says "And I don't have your fashion sense, so I just grab you some baggies".
"Marcus its ok" I say softly as I place my cup down, and walk towards him. "It's two night out of a month Marc. I've survived it before, and I'll survive it again".
"I just wish there was a way to stop it for you!" he tells me, his hand clenching.
I gently reach out and lift his face as I tell him "Hay, look at me".
Marcus looks straight at me, a stray tear falling down his face. "Ever the caring... I had my chance, and it wasn't meant to be".
"That wasn't your fault!" Lily says quickly from behind me.
I smile slightly, trying my best to hold my tears back as I heard the grit in her voice. "It doesn't matter if it wasn't my fault. My time came and passed, and he didn't bond back" I tell them.
"You might bond again, there's nothing in the laws that say you can't" Luka offers.
I shake my head as I look round at the all. "Even if I could, I wouldn't want it, love doesn't seem to suit me" I say with a slight quiver in my voice. "Besides, you guys are the loves of my live, your my caring Mom, my overprotective Dad, and my idiot brother... And I want it no other way".
"But what would you do if it did happen again?" Luka asks, a hopeful look on his face.
I try my best to force all emotion down as I look at him, if I let anything slip about what happened earlier I'd never hear the end of it, and out of all of them, Luka was the one who could read me best if I wasn't careful.
"I wouldn't know until it happened" I lie to him, a small shrug of my shoulders.
Luka opens his mouth to say something but stops when tapping comes from the door. With a small sigh Lily pulls herself together, and walks towards the door. Luka looks back at me with a look that say 'We'll finish this later!'. I shake my head with a small laugh at this, for a Beta, he sure had some balls half the time.
"We're not interrupting are we?" I hear Emily's voice ask.
"No, not at all" Lily replies in kind, and I could almost hear the smile in her voice.
I smile when I see Emily and Sam walk in behind Lily. I stare in confusion when blushes suddenly appear on both their faces, Sam even turns his head away from me completely. After a moment I realise the problem, I was still standing in the kitchen with only a towel, and my underwear covering my body. I blush as I quickly grab the clothes from Marcus, and disappear behind the door that leads into the living room. Once in the living room I quickly pull on the clothes, a white loose fitting tank top, and a pair of quarter length baggy work out trousers.
I then give my hair a quick once over with the towel before placing it on the back of the couch, and then walking back into the kitchen. I smile slightly as I renter the room, a small blush burning my cheeks as I look towards Sam and Emily.
"Sorry about that" I tell them as I motion towards the door I'd just walked through.
"No its ok. If anything, its me who's sorry, I mean I should of argued better to keep you in the truck" Sam says, a sorry look written on his face.
"What's that?" Luka asks as he folds his arms over his chest.
I shake my head at this as I say "Sam caught me walking into town, he gave me a lift when I started raining, but I got out half way there".
"You did what?" Lily snaps at me, her motherly nature kicking in again.
I roll my eyes as I say "I would have stayed in the truck, had Sam's friend, not been a jerk".
"Paul said something to you?" Emily asks as she looks up at Sam.
"Yeah, apparently I'm 'ignorant of my heritage' as he put it. Apparently to him its not enough to be proud of who you are, you have to know everything too, even if you have a good reason not too!" I tell them.
"Ce dracu 'se întâmplă? Ce le-ai spus?" Marcus asks. (What the hell is going on? What did you tell them?).
"El a întrebat despre patrimoniul nostru. I-am spus am fost coborari români, şi care ma şi Luka a avut sânge nativ în noi. Dar prietenul său a avut un pop la mine când a aflat că nu ar fi aflat de patrimoniul nostru nativ. I-am spus că nu a avut nici un drept să mă judece, şi a luat din maşină" I tell them as I look round at my family. (He asked about our heritage. I told him we were Romanian descents, and that me and Luka had Native blood in us. But his friend had a pop at me when he found out we hadn't learnt of our Native heritage. I told him he had no right to judge me, and got of the car).
I then look straight at Luka when I hear his breathing deepen. "Nu vă faceţi griji, nu era ea. A fost un tip pe nume Paul" I tell him as I watch his fists clench. (Don't worry, it wasn't her. It was guy named Paul).
"Voi ucide bastard!" he growls. (I'll kill the bastard!).
"Nu, nu va fi!" I snap at him, instantly hating myself for trying to protect a guy I didn't even know. (No, you won't!).
"Dar el ne-a insultat!" he tells me, his eyes filled with anger. (But he insulted us!).
"Tu nu-l va atinge! Asta e un ordin!" I tell him in my Alpha voice. (You won't touch him! That's an order!).
Luka back down at this, and replies with a simple nod. I then turn back to look at Sam and Emily.
"I'm sorry about that" I tell them with a smile. "So, what can we do for you guys?".
"We can to invite you a bonfire later" Emily replies with a strong smile.
"A bonfire? That sound so fun" Lily say with glee as she looks at me, her big green eyes pleading with me.
I scratch the back of my head as I look at our guest. "Umm,.. well,.. that sounds nice,.. and I'm sure the guys would love to go,.. but I can't make it" I say.
"Ohh, well that's a shame, it would have been nice to get to know you all a bit more" Emily replies with a sad look.
Realisation hits Lily, seeming to have forgotten about it been a full moon tonight, she throws me a guilty smile at this. I shake my head with a small smile.
"It really is a shame, it was gonna be a welcoming party for you all" Sam tells me.
"Yeah,.. It really is nice of you, but... I think I might be coming down with the... sniffles... So I don't really think I should chance it" I lie to him with a small nod and a sorry smile. "But the others can go if they want".
"Really?" Luka asks a little to fast, a look of disbelief on his face.
"I'm sure Aura can look after herself for one night" Marcus says a very passive look on his face. "And if she needs us, she just has to call one of us up".
"That's right, I mean it might not be anything, but I still don't wanna chance it" I say as I look around the room.
"Well ok" Sam replies, a look of concern on his broad face.
"Well, me and Sam will come round for you at around seven thirty, that way you guys don't get lost" Emily says with a smile. "And of course, if you should feel any better you can always call up and someone can come get you".
I nod in response as I say "Yeah, we can always hope".
And with that Sam and Emily both turn to leave, Lily goes with them, returning a few moments later. Lily walks towards me and pulls me into a hug. I take a deep breath, only to laugh slightly when Marcus and Luka practically glomp us as they join the hug. After a few minutes we all pull away. Lily has tears in her eyes as she looks at me. I shake my head as I gently whip them away.
"I'm been silly" she says with a slight laugh.
"No, your being human" I tell her.
Lily smiles a bit bright at this, and then allows Marcus to pull her into his arms.
"Right, I'm gonna go have an hours sleep before I have to get ready" I tell them.
"I'll go set a scent for you" Luka says with a smile as he walks towards the counter top.
I nod in response, and watch as he leaves the house. Lily smiles and then nudges Marcus, who in turn kisses her head and then motions for me to follow him. I smile in thanks as he leads me to one of the bedrooms. Marcus pats my shoulder, and then turns and walks off.
I take a deep breath, and then open the door. My eyes widen when I find a fully decorated room, the walls were doing in swirls of all my favourite colours; black, orange, red, blue and purple. The back wall opened out into a large bay window that sill big enough to sit on, and was decorate with cushions and a few throws.
The king sized bed was a metal four poster that reminded me of the one I had back before we had to go on the run. I walk over to the bedside table and pick up a plain wood frame stood up right with a picture in it. A small sad smile pulls at my lips as I look down at the smiling faces of my parents. A heavy sob escapes as I lower myself down on the bed, and hug the frame close to me.
A/N - So I tried something different with the Romanian translations, I put them beside them instead of down here. Figured it might be more easy.
So I got the chapter up a bit earlier than I thought, but never mind, like I said I'll try and make the next one a bit longer.
And as always that you for reading, and I would like to ask that you go review this story, cos it would mean a lot to me, and it actually helps me write a bit faster.
So thank you again, and review, review, review... Until next time, MarsPlanetsGirl aka Emma. xx
