So, since she didn’t feel up to driving me to the pack house, Devon offered. He said that he wanted the explanation that I had promised would come from those that were in charge, and he already gathered that I was referring to Riviana and Alpha Joaquin.
A little while later, after stopping by Devon’s for some fresh clothes, we headed to the estate so that we could get me to where I was needed, or wanted however you wanted to look at it.
I saw that Riviana and Alpha Joaquin were waiting for us when we got out of the car. I didn’t wait for Devon to open my door for me, something that I was certain made him a little upset as he was a gentleman and wanted to do that for me. He had done it at his place at least, and when he drove me home last night as well.
I saw that Riviana was looking at me curiously, pure excitement in her eyes.
“Ella?” Riviana called out in a voice that was uneasy but happy at the same time. “I thought your mom was going to bring you.”
“She wasn’t feeling up to it.” I hung my head, remembering how upset my mom had sounded when I spoke to her this morning.
“I was hoping we could have offered her some solace.” Riviana was looking sad now, that wasn’t my intention when I told her that. “I will send her something to make her feel better.” I didn’t know what she meant by that, but I was happy that she was thinking about my mom’s well being as well.
“Detective Scott, it’s a pleasure to see you again, but to what do we owe this pleasure?” Alpha Joaquin spoke next, a hint of authority in his voice but the rest of it was welcoming and knowing. He must have realized what was happening last night.
Before anyone said anything else Devon walked over to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. This move made him match the way the Alpha was standing, holding Riviana.
“I think that I have a right to be here, do I not?”
“Huh.” I heard Riviana gasp. “Ella, does this mean what I think it means?”
“Yes, it does.” All I could do was smile. I was happy, even though I knew that it was not the right time for me to be happy I was still ecstatic.
“This is amazing Ella.” Riviana ran up to me then and wrapped her arms around my neck. It was a move that shocked everyone: me, Devon, and Alpha Joaquin. “I’m so happy for you.”
“Thank you.” I smiled more broadly at the elation that Riviana was feeling for me.
“And I take it that you are the Detective Scott I spoke to on the phone yesterday?” She asked the man who stood dumbfounded next to the two of us. Devon just nodded.
“Ella, how much have you told him?” Alpha Joaquin asked her, needing to know the extent of what we needed to explain.
“Not much, I was nervous. But he knows we’re not….. normal.” I was hesitant when I answered him.
“What do you know?” Alpha Joaquin asked my mate who just raised an eyebrow curiously.
“I know that as soon as I even heard Ella’s voice it was like I had found my destiny. I don’t know what is different about her from other people, she just told me that she was not like other girls and that she would like to leave the explanation up to you guys.”
I could see a smirk spread across my Alpha’s face when he heard what Devon had to say.
“Ella, it seems that you wanted me to blow your new mate’s mind.” He joked. “Come on in and we will explain everything.”
We were welcomed into the Alpha’s estate then, and led into a sitting room. There were pitchers of water to drink sitting on the table in between a grouping of small sofas and chairs. Devon and I sat on one together while the Alpha and Luna sat across from us. It was time for the truth to finally be revealed to my mate.
“Devon, you are going to learn a lot of things that you probably won’t believe at first. But I want you to know that I am not lying to you at all.” Alpha Joaquin looked at Devon with a serious look as he spoke.
“I will try to be open minded.” I could tell that Devon meant that too.
“Good. You will need to keep an open mind if you are to make it through all of this.” I saw another smirk on the Alpha’s face then before he started to explain it all. “As you said outside, we are not normal. If you ask us if we’re human, that’s a hard question to answer. We are human most of the time, but other times we’re not.”
“What, are you fish the rest of the time?” Devon laughed.
“No, wolves.” That was a bombshell that I don’t think Devon expected to hear from the Alpha.
“Excuse me?” There was a look of shock on Devon’s face as he asked for clarity.
“When we’re not human we’re wolves. In all sense we’re werewolves. But not the Hollywood version.”
“What are you saying, werewolves? That’s impossible. Full moon, allergic to silver, bite someone and they become like you werewolves.”
“I just said it wasn’t like the Hollywood version of werewolves. We are children of the Moon Goddess. We shift at will not at the command of the full moon. Silver doesn’t affect us. And aside from having an animal counterpart we’re pretty much the same as other people.”
“Sure you are.”
“Well, there are some differences. We’re stronger and faster than humans. We can smell and hear better than them as well.”
“Well, that makes sense, if you’re half dog.”
“Devon, be nice.” I scolded him.
“Ella, you can’t seriously believe all of this? Don’t tell me that you drank their kool-aid and became a member of this playboy’s cult.”
“Um, this playboy is married.” Joaquin sounded offended. “And I have never been a playboy to begin with.”
“I don’t care what you are or aren’t. What I do know is that you’re not a werewolf. They don’t exist.”
