Things went so much better than I expected. My dad had suggested we do it that way so everyone would be comfortable and if something went wrong I could get us out of their quickly. Originally I was going to take him to our farm and introduce him. We didn’t go that route because one of our guys, Parker… our unpredictable wild wolf.
Parker is an omega, the bottom of the Pack. He has issues with authority, and with new members. I have issues with Parker; I’ve dreamt his death will be at my hands. I’m not really bothered by killing him, but it isn’t common for a Pack member to kill another member.
That is the mystery to me. Not that he couldn’t get under my skin and make me want to twist his scrawny-ass head off his body, but I follow the rules, so I’m curious what he does that drives me to killing him. It has been two years since I had that vision so it will be soon I’m sure.
“Just stay relaxed, I’m going to pull us back to the park.” I took a deep breath and broke our connection. “Hey, you okay? You look a little pale. We can stop at Sonic and grab a Coke on the way home.” He pulled his hand away faster than I’d hoped.
“No, I don’t want to stop anywhere; I just want to get home. So, was that real?” He asked.
“Was the vision real?” I asked.
Abel nodded his head up and down.
“Yeah, it was real. That’s my family, like the saying goes, we can’t pick our family but we can pick our friends,” I said shyly. Okay, maybe not too shy, but a little.
“So, you’re telling me that werewolves are real?” I hear the shakiness in his voice.
“Yes, Abel they’re real, and yes, I’m one of them. You’re one. Please, don’t hate me.” I could feel my own heart racing now.
“Cool,” he was totally calm and turned his attention away from me.
“Cool? All you have to say is cool? No, are you going to eat me? Are you going to turn into a wolf and howl at the moon? Do you only turn into a wolf at a full moon? Are their vampires too? You’re not going to ask me any of those questions? You’re just going to say, cool?” I was totally confused. I expected more from him.
“No, cool is good with me right now Pru. I’m sorry but I’m not going to freak out in front of you. I’ve got tons of questions, but I want to think about it first and then I’ll hit you with the 20 questions. Give me some time, okay? I’ll be fine. Let me sleep on it and we’ll come back and you can do your hocus pocus vision stuff on me again.”
“It isn’t hocus pocus stuff, it’s real. I’ll give you tonight to think about it, but we’ve got a lot to cover. Tomorrow I’ll take you to the farm, it will be easier if we as a Pack explain to you what your mission and destiny is.” Looking into his big brown eyes made my heart skip a beat.
“Cool, do you have the Death Cab for Cutie cd? Lets jam, no more talking right now, I need to think.” he asked.
