One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 12

Hailey's POV

"Good, you're still here." I say when I see my dad's twin in the kitchen with my grandmother.

My anger was the only thing keeping me from breaking down, keeping me from losing it completely.

Anger was the only thing keeping me on my feet right now to demand some answers.

"Yes, I'm still here." He says.

I place the letter on the kitchen counter and slide it over to him. He eyes it suspiciously before looking

at me.

"It's for you. Well for me but for you too." I say, giving him a nod to go ahead and read it.

Grandma Ferguson looks between us before grabbing the letter and reading it first. It was then that

Jaxon walked in to stand next to me.

"Oh my.." Grandma says, clutching the Pearl's around her neck.

She hands the letter back to Theodore, who looks at his mother curiously before reading the letter. He

takes his time, probably reading it over and over again. I see him steal glances at me as he reads the

letter, grandma crying already.

With Brett holding her up, she was hysterical. As if her son just died and I wanted to join in, I mean my

poor father. The man was betrayed by his own brother and my mother.

Everytime he looked at me, he saw himself, his brother. Every damn day I'd call him daddy, it would

stab him in the heart because I was not his child. I was never his to begin with and my mother did this,

they did this.

"My mother was with your brother! Now I know why he treated me the way he did." I shout out at

Theodore, who was taking a little too long with reading the letter.

"Oh honey, your father had his demons. He was never good to you." Grandma Ferguson says through

sobs.

"Oh what do you know? You were never there!" I say in frustration. I hear Theodore sort of growl.

Probably groaned, humans don't growl.

"I know plenty. From the moment your mother knew she had you in her womb, he did not want you but

your mother was not having it. I guess now I understand why she wanted you here on earth, you were

made from love." Grandma says and I chuckle.

"From love? I'm a product of betrayal!" I say as the tears pool around my eyes.

"My mother, you biological father, betrayed my father! You all betrayed him and who can blame him?" I

say, the tears finally staining my face, one after the other.

"Nonsense! I loved your mother and she loved me. You may never know that kind of love but it exists

and now that I know she was killed, I will find out who did it, even if it ends up killing me." Theodore

says.

"Oh just great! Another parent has to die. I guess you all just can't wait to get away from me.

Everyone's dream is to leave me orphaned! You find out that I'm your daughter but all you care about is

my dead mother." I shout out before running away, to my room.

I lock my door and fall to the soft carpet on my floor.

I let it all out. Losing my mother, losing my father and finding out he wasn't really mine. I cry over the

fact that they all lied to me, they didn't care that I deserved to know the truth when they were both alive.

Instead of telling me that he hates me because I'm his brother's child, he abused me verbally every

chance he got. He berated me whenever I didn't get anything right and everything was my fault, I was

the bad luck he didn't need and I still loved him. I found the room to forgive him and keep him in my Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

heart.

He hurt me so many times, day by day and now I knew why. How was I to know that I wasn't his? We

look alike and I had no idea he had a brother!

'Guess that's why he never mentioned him.' A voice in my head says.

I sit up quickly, looking around the room to see if anyone walked in but I was alone.

I was alone.

Jaxon's POV

"How are you her father? It's impossible!" I say. This couldn't be happening.

Male wolves don't mate with female werewolves! It's always been like that but now here was Hailey's

family tree. Her father, staring back at me, a werewolf and an alpha.

"Is she one too?" I ask looking between the grandmother and the alpha.

"We don't know. She was raised human so there was no way of knowing. We all thought she was his

child." Says the grandmother.

"Why do you care if she's one or not? If she is then I'll take her to my pack as I have no heir." Theodore

says.

"I care because she's my mate." I say, making the old lady gasp.

"Impossible!" Theo says banging his fist on the counter.

"On her first day of school I knew it. I've been with her ever since. I know she's my mate because my

wolf says so, because I feel it in her touch, in her voice and that I can read her thoughts." I say.

"That's unheard of..." Old lady tells me and I chuckle.

"Your father won't allow it. If she is indeed a wolf, she won't be able to give you children. You need

children." Theo says and I nod my head, because he was right. My father would never allow me to

mate with her.

"Well, I believe we have some time before any of that. Besides, your twin brother came out human

didn't he?" I ask looking between the gran and the dad.

"He was born a wolf too but his wolf was dormant. He would've never survived life in a pack as an

alpha's child. He would've been challenged all the time so my mother and father decided she would go

live with him in human territory to protect him. They had to sort of break up for this to happen." Theo

tells me, I look at grandma.

"It still hurts to this day. We swore to never see each other again, for his protection. He had to take a

new mate and it nearly killed me but it had to be done to save my son and to make sure Theodore has

the chance to be respected and to rule after his father without constantly worrying about his weaker

brother. Although he was not weak, no. The anger, the outburst, that's the making of a werewolf but he

would not shift." Grandma says and I sit down on one of the bar stools to actually let it all sink in.

"What I don't get is, how is she my mate? She is definitely not human and now that the wolf inside her

has met you, her real father, it might just push her to shift and we all know she's not ready for any of

that." I say.

"Also, even if your twin brother was her father, then she was going to be a wolf anyway. Why keep her

here, with the humans?" I ask.

"His wolf was dormant. There's no way, she would've been born one and when she was born, she did

not have hair covering her skin which is what happens to every pup that is born so we believed she

was human but now that Theo is her father, you might be right in keeping the two apart." Grandma

says and I nod my head in agreement.

"Then it is settled. Tomorrow, after the funeral, Hailey and I will make our way back.' I say.

"You also have to keep your distance. Until she deals with this revelation, she cannot find out that she's

a wolf or that you are her mate." Grandma tells me.

I wanted to fight her on that but what she's saying makes perfect sense. I can't bombard her with any

more revelations, I will have to keep my distance and the only way to do that is to bring back the one

girl I swore I'd keep away from her.

It was time to go back to my old ways.
