Chapter 99
Claire's POV
I wake up to a dark room, looking around I see my closed curtains hiding the morning sun. I'm still in my clothes from yesterday and my eyes are puffy from tears. I guess I got up from the wall at some point and laid across my bed. I sigh, turning over and bring my hands up to my pillow. My moon shaped birthmark catches my eye, for a wolf to have a moon shaped birthmark you would think I'd be a better werewolf.
I slowly stand and push my messy and knotted silver hair out of my face. Hesitantly I move to my large window and peak out, the bright sunlight making me blink rapidly. When my eyes adjust I peak across the yard into the alphas room, dark curtains are pulled and hiding the rest of his room from me.
I frown remembering everything from yesterday, the thought making my heart sink into my stomach. I throw the curtains open, the light flooding the room as I step away. I lean against the wall and sigh, trying to figure out how to go about this day.
My eyes widen in realisation, it doesn't matter how I go about this day, it's Lawrence birthday! I quickly step over to my bed and pick up my phone, immediately going to his contact.
*happy 18th birthday Lawrence! I know you said you didn't want to go out tonight but I don't care we are doing something for your eighteenth birthday! I love you and love that you've always stood up and been there for me. I'll see you in a couple of hours, no buts! :) *
I try not to think about what Tara said, and then back tracked on, about Lawrence being my mate. I love him, but as a friend, if he does end up being my mate...maybe I'll change.
I send the text and start to get up but my phone vibrates. I look down to see Tara calling.
"Hey" I bring the phone up to my ear
"Hey, how are you?" She asks and I sigh
"I'm alright" not "how are you?" I don't know what it is but she seems different1
"I don't know..." She trials off "you know that weird feeling in your chest when you know somethings going to happen? That's what I've been feeling all morning and a little all this past week, I don't know if it's good or bad" she tells me honestly
"Hum..." I ponder on her words
"well it'll be ok, how was ur grandmas yesterday?" I ask, changing the subject to hopefully get her mind off of whatever she's feeling
"Fine, it was really weird though, she told me about this profacy, you know how she is with her stories" she tells me and I nod remembering her stories when we were younger "anyways it was about some black female wolf-"
At her words I freeze, my heart leaps into my throat, causing my breath to become nonexistent
"what" I gasp out
"Yeah it was totally crazy" she brushes it off
"What did it say?" I ask in a hurry needing to know if it's possible that it's about me or maybe there's someone else out there
"Just crazy bull shit, a female black wolf isn't even possible" she laughs while I keep my straight face anyways
"Yeah...I guess so" my heart still pounding,
"Anyways, I was thinking about going to see Lawrence in an hour or so" she says and I'm a little surprised, they get along most of the time but they bicker, which is always entertaining
"Ok yeah sure, I'll meet you outside" I tell her and we hang up
My mind is preoccupied by Tara's words about her grandmothers prophecy as I get ready. I have to know. Maybe I'll go see her tomorrow, or at least soon.
I look over myself in the mirror, silver hair shinny and bangs pulled back in a bun, the rest flowing down my chest. I decided on a white tee, loose ripped jeans, and a necklace aunt May gave me for my birthday. I sigh holding the moon shaped silver pendent, wishing she were still alive. I try not to come to tears so I quickly blink, saving my mascara lined eyes.
I scurry down the stairs, the house being more quiet than usual. I reach the last step and the doorbell rings. My eyebrows furry and I pick up my pace to the door.
"Oh hi Sonia" I say with a smile as I open the door
"how are you?" I ask inviting her in
She smiles and steps into the house "I'm good, real good, been busy" Fay tells me "it seems the flu is passing around the pack, but I needed to come by and tell you and your family some information" she informs us and my eyes widen and I nod
"Oh alright come on in, I'll get everyone" I lead her to the living room and she stays standing
I first walk across the hall to my parents room and knock lightly
"Mom? Dad?" I ask opening there door
"Claire what do you want?" My Father waves off fixing his tie in the mirror
"Well-" I begin but my mom walks out in her robe from her bathroom
"Claire I hear about you riding with Bryat why would you do that? he's already mated. No use in trying there" she frowns at me, she would rather Beverly mate with a high class wolf but she still wants me to mate well, mainly to keep her name high and for me to get out of here.
"I know Mother, he was just being nice" I don't feel like explaining the real reason why, it will only make her hate me more
"Well don't do it again, it sounds bad" she flips her blonde hair over her shoulder
"Yes ma'am, but Sonia is here to talk to us" I tell them and they bother turn there gaze to me
"Why didn't you say that in the first place?" My Father asks, annoyed, walking towards me and pushing out the door to the living room
My Mother takes off her robe to reveal she's already dressed, she follows after my Father. When we come out to the living room Beverly is already there talking to Sonia.
"Hello, how are both of you?" Sonia asks my parents and they answer in unison
"Great"
"Good I'm Glad...I just had some information on-" she pauses and frowns
"the fallen Alpha and Luna" she sighs
My parents stiffen and nod walking over to the couch and sitting. I stand against the wall, Beverly sitting on the side of the couch. Sonia still standing, facing us.
"What is it?" My Father asks for my Mother, his arm wrapped around her, her head on his shoulder. Showing emotion for her Brother and Sister in law.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get this news to you before the funeral but as I said to Claire, I've been busy" she glances over at me "their autopsy showed that everything was fine, but I sent out the blood to a bigger werewolf hospital. I didn't have the tools I needed to test there blood here in my little hut. I think there blood will be able to tell us more. But the results won't be in till another month" she frowns
"That's all I have for now, I hope I'll be able to tell you more soon" she says softly and tears prick at my eyes.
