AN: I'm so sorry about this you guys! I realized that I uploaded the wrong chapter for this story. The one that I posted was a draft for this chapter not the finished copy. So if you could forget about what happened in that chapter, that would be great. Once again, so sorry for the mistake!
Chapter Seven
The Prophecy
Jayden's Pov
"You honestly expect Max and I to believe you." Alice said and began to laugh. I could hear how nervous she really was through her laugh though. Her laugh then turned into nervous laughter when she saw that none of us were laughing. I looked over at Max and saw that she was scared.
"Yes, I do in fact. What can I do to prove it to you that we are what we say we are?" I asked them. My eyes drifted back over to Max, pleading with her that I was telling her the truth. She bit her lip and looked down at the floor. I could smell the fear wafting off of her body.
"Show us something." Alice stated and crossed her arms over her chest. Bella's mate just had to be a stubborn one didn't she?
"Alright, but you asked." I said and began to shift only partially. I felt my nails sharpen into claws, my canines grow longer and move forward as my second pair grew in behind them. My vision became slightly sharper as my eyes turned silver like the way they did in my wolf form. My ears turned into puppy ears at the top of my head, and I crouched down on all fours from my legs starting to form like a dog's legs. The final piece to complete the puzzle is my two toned, dark blue, and white tail ripping a whole in my jeans.
With my partial transformation finished, I began to get really hyper and had an urge to go run around and play. In the pack we call it the puppy transformation because we use it in order to meet and get to know new pack members. The transformation makes our mentality childlike in a way to prevent any aggressive behavior towards one another.
Our second transformation is like turning into an adolescent teenager, and that's where you get your destructive werewolves that go on rampages because anger sets in in that stage. It's the hardest form to train and the most painful to turn into because it feels like your getting ripped apart. It happens when the wolf inside of us cant control it's rage and forces itself out of it's cage. We usually don't remember anything after we phase back into our human forms. It's like having a blackout in basic terms.
In our full wolf forms we are connected and united to our spirit wolves entirely. We move as one and are fully connected to each other. In this form we go out and hunt, have pack meetings, and watch over our community. We also are assigned jobs to be carried out whenever we have our meetings. It's like a secret society but for werewolves, and yes, my Dad's side of the family over is an actual werewolf that is forced to change on a full moon. My Uncle and his family didn't accept the birthright of our grandfather and was turned into a shifter along with any new addition to his family.
I looked up and saw Max and Alice with awe and terror mixed in on their features when they saw me. When I saw Max my tail started wagging rapidly. I yipped in happiness and bounded over to her. She let out a small scream of terror effectively stopping me in my tracks. My ears flattened themselves against my head as I let out a whimper of my own. I slowly made my way over to her. I sat down on my ass in front of her legs and gently scratched at her jeans still whimpering.
"Max, don't be afraid of, Jayden. She's really sad right now because of your fear." Jasper said from across the room. I nodded my head in agreement up at Max.
I watched as she slowly reached out her hand towards me only to stop before making contact with one of my ears. I leaned up and nuzzled my nose into the palm of her hand silently telling her that everything was okay with my actions. She smiled softly down at me and started to scratch one of my ears. My tail began thump up and down on the floor as Max continued to scratch me. Everyone laughed and giggled at the display, and I was shocked when Alice joined in and started scratching my other ear. A low groan erupted from my throat as I became putty under the ministrations of the Brandon sisters' hands.
"I know that Jayden would love it if you scratched her stomach, Max." I heard my alpha say. Everyone gasped and turned to look at my sister, who had gotten out of bed and disconnected all of the wires from her body. A low whine mustered its way out of my throat in concern for Bella.
"Bella! You need to be in bed not up and walking around!" I yelled at her through our pack link. She smiled at me and sat down on the ground with her arms wide open to me.
"It's okay, little sis, I'm fine." she stated and started clenching and unclenching her fist in a grabbing like motion towards me. I bounded over to her and whimpered when she pulled me into her arms. She rested her chin on top of my head, and I nuzzled into the underside of her chin.
"I'm okay, Jayden." she whispered and stroked her hands up and down my back. She held me like this for a little longer before she released me and stood up. I reverted back into my fully human form and pulled Max into my arms. She rested her head against my chest as I cradled her. I watched as I saw Alice stand up and then collapse into my sister's arms.
"Everyone, I appreciate you guys coming here to see if I was okay, but I need to have a private discussion with Alice and Max. I'll see you guys tomorrow, because were having a beach party tomorrow." I heard Bella say through our pack link. All of our pack members got up and gave us hugs before leaving, except for Lexi and AJ who stayed with us. I looked over at her in confusion as what she wanted to talk to Max and Alice about.
"Max, I think it's time to tell them that they're our soul mates and explain to them what's going on after what happened tonight." she stated. I nodded my head in agreement at her decision.
"Max, Alice, Jayden and I need to talk to you about something and explain what's been going on after what happened tonight. Let's go down into the Crescent Pad." Bella said and motioned for us to follow her. We walked downstairs into the basement where we proceeded to go through a secret passage way into the Crescent Pad. It was named after our Dad was born in here on a crescent moon.
The room was lit only by candle light and had all of our pack's documentation. Anywhere from when our clan began to prophecies that were predicted about us since the beginning times of our pack. The most important documentations that we had though, were medical recipes that cured everything or gave advantages to people, and ultimately the book that had our names listed with the names of our soul mates. This book self records itself predestined while we're still in the womb of our mothers.
"So what did you want to talk to us about, Bella?" Alice asked as she, Max, AJ, and Lexi sat down on the couch with each other. Bella silently told me to go get the soul mate book and bring it over to the table in the center of the room.
"Well after everything that happened tonight, I would like to explain some things to you guys. Now some of the things that I say might upset you, and might even make you and Max want to never see Jayden and me again, but it's only fair that you know these things now." Bella started. Alice and Max tensed up in their seats ready to hear what my sister has to say.
"Since you guys know that werewolves exist now, it's time for me to explain why we hate our cousins so much. When our grandpa passed down his alpha title to our dad instead of our Uncle Billy, Billy was furious that he got shown up by his older brother. He was too power hungry for the title of alpha. Later when we were born and were in our teenage years our dad wanted to give his title over to Emmett, but he refused so I went ahead and took the title. Billy was so outraged by this that he went to our council members who told him that I was fulfilling a prophecy and let me remain with the title." she said and looked to me to finish it out while she went looking through the book that I gave to her.
"He didn't like it too much, so he sent our cousins after us to teach us a lesson. If your wondering where all our scars come from on our bodies, it's from them abusing us over the years. Since Bella hasn't relinquished her title over to one of our cousins, they continue to attack us whenever they can and try to force Bella to give one of them the title. Since Bella's title as alpha wont be confirmed until she's twenty, we have to deal with it as of now." I finished for Bella. Max and Alice's mouths were agape with tears shining in their eyes. I sat down in between the both of them and wrapped my arms around there shoulders. Max clung to my side, while Alice rested her head on my shoulder.
"The next thing that I'm going to explain is a very important part in our lifestyle, but I want to let both you and Max know that you have a choice of whether you want to stay with Jayden and me or leave us." Bella started looking Max and Alice in their eyes.
"Being a werewolf, when we're in our mother's womb, there's a book that records us along with our soul mate. When a wolf is mated to a human being, the human's name is written in red symbolizing they have yet to decide if they want to be with the wolf or not. If they choose no, their name gets slashed, but if they choose yes, then there name is written in silver along with the wolf. The thing about the first answer is that wolves only have one mate for their entire life, and if their mate rejects them then they will be a lone wolf for the rest of their lives." Bella finished. Alice jerked upright when she heard this and stood up abruptly.
"So what you're saying is that Max is Jayden's soul mate, and I'm yours, and that we both have a choice whether we can spend eternity with you or not. The downside being that you remain an heartbroken, lone, wolf for the rest of your lives." Alice said while pacing back and forth. She looked over at Bella, in which Bella nodded to her. Alice sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
"I need some time to myself right now." is all Alice said before she left the room. Bella looked at me questioning whether she should go or not and I shook my head. She left the room with AJ and Lexi, who had been silent throughout our entire discussion.
"Hey Jayden, can we go to bed, I'm kind of tired." Max said softly. I smiled at her and picked her up in my arms causing her to squeal. I carried her all the way up the stairs and into our room where our bed was at the top floor of the room.
We both decided to go ahead and take our showers. I came out dressed in a sports bra with a tank top over it along with a pair of boxer shorts. When I finished drying my hair, Max came out wearing a pair of soffe shorts that exposed her mile, long, legs and a tank top with no bra because her nipples were poking through. My inner wolf was literally panting at the sight of Max in her attire. She smiled at me and slid into bed with me following not too far behind. I laid down on my back and she snuggled into my right side. All of a sudden I felt her hand travel underneath my shirt and start stroking over the scars on my abs. I shivered at the contact and pulled her closer to me.
"Jayden, can I see your scars again?" I heard Max ask me quietly. I looked down at her and saw her biting her lip, which made her look so adorable. I sat up quickly and pulled my shirt over my head and dropped on the floor beside me. I laid back down, and Max immediately started stroking my stomach again.
"Are your nightmares about what Paul and Jacob through when you were younger?" she asked while looking into my eyes.
"Yeah, some of the stuff that they did to me when we were younger was so horrible that it caused me to start having seizures from them like what happened the first night you guys came. My nightmares feel so real that I can actually feel the pain that they're putting me through, which causes me to start seizing." I replied softly.
Max didn't say anything when I finished. Instead she straddled me and pressed butterfly kisses to the scar on my face. I closed my eyes at the feeling of her caresses on my face. I sighed when I felt her lips on my. I rested my hands on her hips, stroking the small strip of skin that was exposed from her tank top riding up. When I felt her start planting kisses on my stomach my eyes went wide and my hands gripped the sheets tightly. I was panting lightly under her ministrations. Max's touch was electric and was constantly sending shock waves throughout my whole body.
"Baby, you gotta stop before it gets out of hand." I whispered hoarsely. She blushed a bright red and made her way back up my body. She laid down on her side facing me, and I rolled over so that I could face her fully.
"How are you not freaking out about what you heard tonight?" I asked in amazement as I trailed my fingertips down the right side of her face. She grabbed my hand before I could pull it back and held it to her face.
"I know that it was a lot to take in, but I'm fine with it. I'm cool with the whole soul mate thing too, because I know that you'll take care of me and I'll take care of you. I know that you'll treat me right, and I know that you deserved to be loved after your past relationship and I can give you that. It's going to be a little bit hard with your cousins popping up everywhere, but I'm sticking with you and you wont be able to get rid of me." she replied. I hugged her close to my body and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
"I knew when I first saw you that you were going to be an amazing person, but I didn't realize it until now. I'm so glad that we're mates, Max, and I promise you I'll treat you like you deserve to be treated." I whispered into her hair.
"I know you will, Jayden." she whispered back and then flipped over so that she wasn't facing me. I spooned her from behind, and she grabbed my hand placing it on her stomach underneath her tank top. Her skin was as smooth as a baby's was, and I could feel tone ness of her muscles there. I pressed a couple of kisses to her neck, causing her to snuggle back into me. My mind started to play episodes of what Max and mine's life could be with each other as I fell asleep.
AN: I decided to change the ending an account of it reminding me of bad memories. I scrapped that story line that was in the draft because it got way to confusing to write, and I know it confused a lot of you too. I hope that this final copy makes things easier to follow.
