《The Kings Mate》Chapter 16

Malia POV
The Monday after was pretty hard. I hadn't seen my parents all weekend. Mason said he contacted them and told them what had happened. He said they totally understood. I was given a room to sleep in so I wasn't hogging up masons things. It was a pretty small room, but I have my own bed and own bathroom so I guess I can't complain. We had decided I would stay in the pack house during the weekends but my own home during the week. Mason said that during the weekends he would give me basic training before I move on to the other 17-18 year olds.
I trudged to my last Monday class which was art. I loved art because it was the one place I could forget about the out side world and just empty out my feelings onto a piece of paper or a canvas. I often drew scenery or animals. I took my seat on the stool next to my partner. I think her name Justine but I wasn't sure. We normally did our work in silence too interested in our art to talk. She kind of looked the rebel type. She had half of her head shaved and had a lip piercing. She always had on jeans with rips all over them. But anyways.
I sat on my stool and I pulled out my note book with the many sketches I've worked on for the past 2 years. My parents had let me go to this art camp last summer. They knew I wasn't happy about moving back so they let me go. I met so many wonderful people. Especially this one girl, her name was Rachel, she had fiery red hair. She always had paint all over her clothes. She had the bunk under me and around the 3rd day we were the only ones up so we just started talking. We were attached at the hip for the whole summer. I didn't realize it but I had started drawing a wolf which was Rachel's favorite animal. It's clear now that she was a werewolf. She always left on a full moon and her obsession with wolves was a little weird. She always had meat. I should talk to her soon. She lives in Manhattan in an apartment with her parents.
"Class if I could have your attention please," The teacher says grabbing my attention."You will be doing a painting of your choice. I want you to pour your heart into this painting. To let every feeling you have buried down inside out. You have a week. Good luck." With that she sat down at her desk with this large canvas and began to draw something she had been working on since I got here. I looked at the blank canvas in front of me. I picked up my black sketch pencil and began to sketch the out line of the image in my mind.

By the end of the school I was happy to get to walk home and just think. I've haven't been alone all week end. I don't know how I'm going to live the rest of my life when I graduate in a pack house. How can I live in a house with like over 900 people? How can I lead the new generations to come as a Luna? how can live the rest of my life in constant fear that a stray could rip my throat out and kill me? UGH! Rouge! How can I live my life with a whole pack watching me?
I rub my eyes only to notice that tears had started to stream down my face. I look to the side to notice I had ended up in front of my house. I let out I sigh, whipped the tears off of my face, And walked up to the door. I knock softly on the door. No answer. I check my phone and see that my mom had texted me.
Work started at 2p.m. wont be home till 2a.m. your father should be home by 6. If he's not their is money on the counter for take out. Love you.
I let out a sigh and drop my hand to my sigh. I dig through my back pack for my house keys. After a while of looking I still can't find them. I look through the window and see my keys sitting on the table next to the door. I lean my forehead against the cold glass and let out a sigh. I look at my phone and scroll through my contacts and click call.
"Hey, can I ask you something?" I ask.
"Yeah anything, is everything alright?" Mason asks concern in is voice.
"I left my keys on the side table when I got home Friday. So how do I make my claws come out so I can pick the lock?" I ask looking at my finger nails.
"Okay so concentrate on claws and nothing else. Focus on your claws and not your wolf." He tells me. I close my eyes and let out a breath. I concentrate on claws. when I open my eyes they're there. Sharp and deadly.
"I did it." I tell him letting out a breath of relief.

"Okay great, is their anything else you need to do or know?" He asks. I shake my head but realize that he can't see me.
"No. Thanks." I say and stick my claw into the key hole and turn it. The door doesn't open at first. but after a couple of tries it pops open.
"Alright, Bye. I'll see you tomorrow." He says.
"See you tomorrow." I hang up and shut the door behind me. I lock it so no one can break in.
I head into the kitchen. I turn on the light looking at the ground. But when I look up I jump back a little.
"Who the hell are you?" I ask raising an eyebrow at the strange girl.
"I'm Camila. I'm your sister. Technically speaking." She says And I just look at her even more confused.
"Let me explain. Our father was in love with my mom before he met your mom. When they were really young too. Like maybe teenagers. Eventually they had me. They started to fight. A lot. They broke up. They went to court to see who would win custody. My mom one. I saw dad maybe one or two times after that. He recently got in touch with me and told me to come down for a week. So I agreed. He told me everything about being a werewolf. He wants you to take me to your pack house to see if I'm one too. If I'm not he said he can get this memory wiping drink so I wont remember anything. About a werewolves, about you, abut anything." She tells me. "I know it's a lot to take in, but I just need to know. If I'm some sort of supernatural I would like to know."
"Um... Just let me call some one." I say and back out of the room.
I dial Mason.
"I need you to come over here. Like now." I say and hang up. I slowly walk back into the kitchen.
"Um I have some one coming. Can I get y-you anything?" I stutter.
"No I'm fine thank you." she smiles. I look her up and down. She's much taller than I am. with fitted skinny jeans and high heeled boots. Her wavy black hair is defiantly from her mom. But her eyes are defiantly from dad. The green with blue mixed in. Just like dads, and mine.
"Well how old are you?" I ask taking a seat at the kitchen table.
"26. You?" She asks me. so that's like 9 years older tan me right?
"17." I answer and shake my head. The door bell rings and I spring to my feet. I walk to the door where Mason stands.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asks cupping my cheeks. He rubs his thumb rubbing across my cheek. I placed my hands over his.
"I'm fine really. But... um... I have a small situation." I tell him opening the door wider revealing Camila.

A/N
Okay so I have come to realize that writing 2000 word chapters take a little more than 3 hours. so I stopped around 1500 something. it might be even more I don't know.
It just took so long to write this and I can't believe I just keep adding characters. I'm sorry if I'm going to fast so please tell me if I am. so at least I'm back on track.
I might be a little busy on Friday so I'll try to get a chapter out and if I don't it will be out on Saturday I promise.
But if you like this boing chapter I would really appreciate a

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

Out of the Motherland
Russia, 1941. Operation Barbarossa. Winter has set in and the German advance is stalling before Moscow. Temperatures are dropping as the promised end to the Russian invasion has not arrived. The winter is the coldest of the century, and German troops are freezing as they push themselves through the snow towards the enemy. Meanwhile, dissent stirs among the German ranks and on their home front. Karl Tesdorpf, a captain in the 30. Infanterie-Division, is caught between his family and the Schutzstaffel - he escapes, but becomes a fugitive among his own allies. Russia, 1941. Western Front. The Soviet frontlines have been overrun again and again. Their great people are completely on the defensive. While reserves are brought in to stem the German forces, the troops on the front line are left with limited supplies and support. Whole Soviet armies are wiped out as they are surrounded and cut off, and for the troops on the ground and in the air victories are few and far between. Amid this chaos, his rifle division reduced to a tenth of their size by enemy armour, Oryl Denikin walks away from the conflict. He heads home, into German-occupied territory, but he is soon to find that his motherland is no longer the place he knew and lived. As both sides funnel their resources into the second great war in a generation, trying to force the other to break first, millions upon millions of men are caught in the middle. This is the tale of just two of them. Dedicated to Gerhard, of #55 - the reason this story exists.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
