We all followed my dad and headed towards the living room. I turned around and saw that Braxton was talking to his father.

I don't know what it is about him that makes me feel so nervous around him. I'm attracted to him but I don't know why. It's like I have this little need to be next to him, or touch him. And the way he said my name made me want to melt right into his arms.

He looked so....mature. The way he stood, the way he spoke, the seriousness in his tone. He carried himself really well. I just wondered what made him so serious? What could've possibly happened that made him this way?

I was still looking at him when he stopped talking to his father, and turned to look at me. I think he felt me starring.

I snapped my head forward embarrassed that I was caught eye rapping him again!

"Eve watch out!" Alex screamed but he was too late.

I tripped over a box and went falling forward and onto my face. Great just what I needed.

"Ughhhhhh" i groaned rolling over onto my back.

A smirking Nate came into view holding out a hand for me to take. I looked at him and sighed, as he pulled me up.

"You know, you wouldn't have fallen had you not been gawking at your new boyfriend who saved you."

"Shhhhhhhhh I was not gawking at Braxton." I whispered yelled at Nate.

I looked over at Braxton to see him looking at his phone, but James was looking at me with a smile. I smiled back hoping he didn't hear because he might tell Braxton.

"Sure you weren't. That's why you looked over at him to see if he heard." Nate said side glancing at a busy Braxton.

"Shut it Nate or so help me I'll...."

"Evangeline, Nathaniel. Are you two done? Because if you're not interested in what I have to say than we can all be on our ways." My father said interrupting my threat to Nate.

"My apologies, I was just uhhhh nothing it doesn't matter but we can all go to the living room now." I said looking at my father who just nodded his head.

I glared at my brother one last time, turn to look at Braxton who's now looking at me, and turn a bright red.

I wasn't gawking. Just admiring.

"James, Braxton. I really appreciate you coming but if you want to leave that is your decision you are welcomed to do so." My father said. We all turn to look at them to see they have a clouded look on their face.

"If it isn't any problem, we'd like to stay. We came to inform you about well the rogues and hunters." James says.

"Rogues?" Alex says

"Hunters?" Danny adds.

My father held up his hands silencing the twins.

"All will be explained right now. Please, just wait patiently." My father then turned to look at James and Braxton.

"Ahh yes. Thank you for including me in on the councils plans it seems they're quit hesitant on informing me." My father says looking frustrated.

"Then please, have a seat." Nate adds making them feel comfortable I guess.

"Thank you." James says smiling. He's seems like such a nice person. I wonder why Braxton came out so.... Serious.

"I'll stand, thank you." I look over to see Braxton looking at Nate with crossed arms, and his back leaning against the wall.

"Very well." My dad said.

I was sitting in between Danny and Alex. Nate sat next to Danny and James sat on one of the recliners. My father was in front of us, standing looking out the window, and Braxton was looking bored at the wall on the other side.

"An Alpha is a leader who cares, protects, supports, and manages a pack. He's in charge of the people who look up to him for guidance. We serve to protect and put first our pack. A pack is a group of people who live together under laws and rules put forth by the Alpha and council. An alpha makes the decisions. Whether they are difficult or easy. Every Alpha has a Mate which by term makes them the packs Luna. A Luna cherishes her pack, helps support the pack, protects the pack and does anything she can to keep everyone safe. She is the Alpha Female. Together the Alpha and Luna run a pack. We punish those who betray us and brake our rules. But overall we are family. I am an Alpha. Your mother was our Luna, my mate." My father whispers the last part.

"What's a mate?" Alex ask,

"A mate is someone destined to be your other half. He/she is your soul mate put forth my the Moon Goddess. They complete you. Each of us have one and we will know who they are by their touch, the tingles you get when you're around them. The way your heart beats when you're around them. How nervous you get. The feeling of never wanting to leave their side. You have this pull to them. but most of all your wolf will tell you."

I looked over at Braxton who was looking out the window. Does that mean Braxton has a mate? It pained me to think of him with someone else. So I looked away when I saw him turning his head. While I was looking at my father I could see he was looking at me. But I didn't make a move to look at him.

"Wolf?" I said. I looked at my brothers and they looked just as confused. Surprisingly James and Braxton looked calm. Well, James did anyways Braxton still looked bored.

"When you guys were young your mother passed away. Loosing her, made me loose a part of me. Nathaniel you were 9, Daniel And Alexander were 7 and Evangeline you were 5 so your memory for her wouldn't be to well. But that is because I took you all to a witch. You all are not like other children. You were born differently. I made her cast a spell to prevent the change. Which is they never shifted. But their hearing and smell couldn't be helped. Had they been low ranking wolfs it would've worked but.... " My father says trying to find the right words.

"Since they're children of an Alpha, their wolf is stronger. So that's how you did it. But David it is dangerous consorting with a witch." David said looking at my father worriedly.

"She is an old friend. No matter. I did what I had to do at the time."

"Differently how?" Nate asked.

"I don't know how to say this but I'm just going to come right out and say it. You all will hold your tongues and not a single joke. Understood?" He looked more at Alex and I because we always made a joke out of everything.

We all nodded our heads and he sighed.

Instead of speaking we watched as our father took off his jacket and 5 seconds later a wolf stood in his place. A dark grey wolf that stood about my height was now in the spot that my father once stood.

"Oh My God." Nate said.

"Dude you so owe me pizza. I told you we were mutated." Alex says looking at Danny really quick before turning back to our father.

"Deal." Danny said never taking his eyes off our father.

My dad growled and Alex jumped a little. So did I.

"Shut it the both of you!" Nate yelled a little annoyed.

My father was just starring at me and I didn't know what to think. He's a wolf. We all are. Does that mean Braxton and James are one too?

"Daniel if you please, can you go get your father a pair of sweats." James asked.

Danny just shook his head and went up stairs. Only to come back 5 minutes later with black sweats.

I was still looking at my father.

My dad changed back and threw on his sweats. He kneeled in front of me and my eyes started to water.

He put his finger under my chin and lifted my head so that I was looking at him. I didn't know why I was crying. Maybe because I felt betrayed. He lied to us, he has been so cold and heartless to us because of this. He completely shut us out because of a secret he could've told us years ago.

"Evangeline." My father whispered and I had to close my eyes so that no one could see my cry. But a tear betrayed me as it slipped down my cheek.

"You lied. This whole time. You've been so heartless to us, so cold, so mean. You broke our hearts every year on our birthdays when you didn't show, every Christmas you missed, our games. And for what? Because we're dogs!" I yelled standing up pushing my father out the way.

"I did what I had to, to protect you. To protect this family. After your mother passed I wanted you guys to have a normal life! Not to be involved with the pack. You all would've had to give up college. Nathaniel is suppose to take my place as Alpha, Daniel his second and Alex his third! You.... You were suppose to go out and find a mate, have a ceremony and leave to his pack. Do you not understand? I wanted you to have a life! You may not understand it but I did it all to protect you. All of you." My father said standing up screaming. He took calming breaths and finally relaxed.

"Your mother died by a rogue. A rogue is a wolf who leaves the pack because they don't like rules. They are ruthless, vicious animals who don't care about anything. I feared that you all were next. So we got up and left."

"Daniel, you are Nate's second in command. You are the second highest in the pack. Your rank is everything. Alexander you are third highest. You both have a lot to learn about that. My second and third will be teaching you the ropes. You all will learn what being in a pack is like from now on." My father said.

"Meaning what?" I asked scared for the answer.

"Meaning there are 1200 people who are going to be expecting a new Alpha, Beta, and Third this weekend. I've kept you from this life for far too long. And it's because of that that you two almost died. I caused what I was was trying to protect you from. It's time you all returned home."

"Wait. What about us? Do we... Do we turn into wolves too?" I asked.

"Yes. I will have the witch come and preform a reverse spell tomorrow. The change will hurt. It'll be the worst pain you'll ever experience but now, the Alpha's children will return." My father said.

"You will learn to live the pack life. The rules, the laws, the wars, the history of packs around the world. You will learn soon what this life is about. You all will finally be who you are meant to be. "

"But why now!? Why is this important now?" I asked.

"That is why Alpha Braxton and James are here for. They are here to help."

"You're.... You're an Alpha?" I asked looking at Braxton.

He turned to look at me and nodded his head.

"I am Alpha Braxton Evans of Blood Moon Pack. Jeremiah is my Beta. And my third is running perimeter. I come to help your father. We've had problems with rogues and hunters. Hunters and normal humans who know of our kind and want to kill us. They see us as a threat. We need an alliance Alpha James." Braxton

"Very well. But we will discuss this tomorrow. It is getting late." Dad says checking his watch. It's almost midnight and I yawned thinking of sleep. I put my head on Danny's shoulder and close my eyes.

I heard everyone saying their goodbye but I was too tired to think. I just found out I'm a dog, people are out to get us, and my father is a leader of 1200 people that are expecting us. Yea sleep sounds good right about now.

"Daniel, I'll see you tomorrow." I know that voice.

"Yes. Thank you for helping, it's much appreciated." Danny says shaking hands with Braxton.

"Eve Braxton's leaving. Say goodnight eve." Danny whispers but I'm on the verge of sleep.

"Goodnight Braxton." I whisper.

"Goodbye Evangeline." I had to smile at that. He makes my name sound so good.

I feel myself getting picked up, and I know it's Danny taking me to my bed. He kisses me on the temple says his goodnights and leaves.

"Goodnight mom." I whisper before darkness over comes me.
