"You okay?" Sarah asks from behind me.

"Fine give me a second." I sit back and glance over at her and see that their all there so I groan loudly. "I hate you all so much."

"You love us." Mac smiles at me but his eyes are worried.

"Stop worrying Mac I'm fine." I stand up and leave the bathroom only to be stopped by Hope who is glaring down at me.

"You are not fine you need a doctor to check you out."

"I agree maybe we can drive you to the hospital?" Sarah pipes up from behind Hope who is still glaring at me.

"NO!" Mac, Mitch and I shout at the same time making the others jump, "Sorry but no." I meet Mac's light brown eyes and I see the panic in them.

"Why no?" Alec asks from next to Sarah.

"Because um uh. . ." Mac stutters a bit but then Sarah's mouth drops open.

"Shit are you a hybrid in this life time to?"

"This life time. . ?" I ask then realize something else. "Hybrid?"

"Oh uh nothing never mind." Sarah looks away from me. Alec glares at her then smiles at me.

"This is why I didn't want you two to be friends!" Hope snaps at Sarah making Mac, Mitch and I look her with raised brows.

"Suck it up buttercup you don't get a say." Sarah snaps back.

"I wasn't joking when I said I'd kick y'all out!" I snap at them glaring pissed.

"Sorry but she's a bitch and I don't want to hear her complaining about me being friends with you even though it none of her business!" Sarah exclaims taking a step toward Hope.

"OKAY THAT'S IT! IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING BAD TO SAY TAKE IT OUT SIDE!" I exclaim and point to the door Hope and Sarah walk out but the boys linger with me.

"I have to go get Maya from practice so please don't kill each other before I get back please?" Mitch mutter before rushing out and sliding past Hope and Sarah.

I turn to glare at Alec because him and Sarah are best friends. "What did she mean by hybrid? And what did she mean by this life time?"

"Love, I think that's too much at a time so pick one." Alec smiles at me so I glance at Mac confused.

"I don't know what the fuck he's talking about." Mac responds through my head making me shudder.

"Umm hybrid thing." I pick that one because if they know what I am it could get them killed.

"Well I know if you were just one breed you'd go to the hospital but since most people don't like hybrid's so they have other doctors that they go to. So Sarah thinks you'd be a hybrid cause you don't want to go to the hospital." Alec explains glancing over at the door where Sarah and Hope are yelling at each other.

"Huh okay well I'm gonna go stop them before they kill each other." I reply stiffly and walk over toward them and open the door scaring them. "Stop fighting guys it's annoying!" I snap then slam the door and walk back toward Mac and Alec.

"Well that was nice." Mac said slowly not sure if I'm pissed at him or not.

"No it wasn't I'm an asshole." I say as I drop onto the couch, "I am such a asshole I need to learn how to be nice to people oh and to stop throwing up." I glance over to see that Sarah and Hope had come back in and are watching me. "I'm an asshole aren't I?"

"Yeah kinda but we love you." Mac said with a smile as he sits beside me.

"I dislike you." I say as Alec sits on my other side and Sarah sits on his lap, Hope sits on Mac's lap.

"Uh you love him don't even try to lie." Hope said as she lays her head on Mac's shoulder and she puts on legs on my lap making me grunt.

"Your heavy."

"I'm not even fully on you, you asshole." Hope snaps and I just laugh and push her legs off me than sit on her lap. "Winter! How dare you!" She exclaims when I lay flat out on her and Mac who just laughs.

I freeze and jump off Hope, staring at the door, "What's wrong?" Alec asks me but I don't answer just tit my head toward him to let him know that I heard him.

"Winter what is it?" Sarah and Hope asks me but again I don't answer because there's a knock at the door, I move slowly toward it as Blade comes down the stairs.

"Why are they here?" I ask him but he shrugs and opens the door to revel a blond haired girl with one blue eye and one yellow eye and a guy with light brown hair with blue eyes.

"Hi Winter Hi Blade um can we come in?" Rowan asks us I nod and move backwards so they can come in. Once they come in Raven stares at me as I go and sit on Hope and Mac, Blade says something to Rowan but Rowan shakes his head.

"I'm going back upstairs." Blade tells us we nod as he leaves, I glance over at Raven who is watching me.

"Stop staring at me Raven what is it?" I ask sinking into Hope who smiles at Raven.

"Are you-" She starts but I'm off the couch and covering her mouth in seconds, Rowan hisses at me but I ignore him.

"Shut the hell up!" I hiss at her she nods, "Now what are you guys doing here? Not that I don't like you guys coming around." Rowan is giving me a look that says 'if you don't move away from her I will kill you' I let go of Raven she smirks a bit.

"Well you have guests so we might not want to talk about this now. . ." Raven looks over at Alec and Sarah, she knows Hope and Mac.

"I'm pretty sure they guessed what you guys were the second you walked in so I'm sure it's fine." Mac tells them and me because I just stare at Mac with brows raised.

"I'm sure they did but it has to do with packs so. . ." Raven again looks over at Alec and Sarah who are both just staring at Rowan and Raven.

"Uh huh so?" I turn my back towards the others giving my full attention to Rowan and Raven, he glares at me.

"Do you remember the odd ball from the Winter Moon pack that I told you about?" She ask me I nod so she continues, "She won Alpha and it will be confirmed in two days but she has to fight Thomas to prove she can fend off an Alpha." Rowan moves forward to stand right in front of me.

"Shit, really?" I ask her with my eyes wide because I met Snow when we were five and she was the same size as me and I was always smaller than most.

"Yeah but um Rowan wants to speak with you in private if you have time." Raven eyes Mac who sat up and is watching us.

"Sure um by the way Raven, Rowan this is Alec and Sarah. Um Rowan and I are gonna step out for a minute so Sarah, Hope no fighting, I mean it." I grab Rowan's arm and lead him outside on the back porch. I close the door behind us and lean against the door, "What's up?" he watches me than looks away.

"Can you do that thing where nobody can hear us please?" I sigh and close my eyes putting up a beerier so nobody else can listen into our conversation.

"Okay it's up."

"Um uh I think I um know who my mate is." My eyes widen and I open my mouth but he cuts me off, "I think it's Raven but she's been different since she knew she was going to be Alpha and I was going to be her Beta." I don't even know what to say so I just stare at him for a minute.

"Rowan are you sure? Does she even know?" He shakes his head and I sigh, "So she doesn't know but are you sure it's her?" he nods and sits on the steps, I sit beside him.

"I know it's her I've known for a while it's just I think she has started to feel it to because she tries to stay as far away from me as she can. Which for her and I it's odd we've been together since we we're kids and for her to just back off its really hard." Rowan leans back on the rails and looks over at me with a lost look on his face, "What the hell am I gonna do if she keeps pushing me away?" he asks me his eyes pleading for me to tell him what to do.

"Tell her."

"No."

"Tell her. If you want to keep her tell her. Tell her everything how you feel and that you think she is your mate but you have to be one hundred percent sure she is. So tell her." I look him in the eye and he meets my gaze with some fear in his blue eyes and I know he's not afraid of me so it's most likely because he's afraid of losing Raven.

"I want to tell her I do but I can't because I know how she will react if I tell her and it won't be good. She won't speak to me unless she has to which will only involve the pack nothing else and she'll avoid me at all cost." He sounds so sure of that and that's what he thinks is going to happen and hurts my heart a little to hear.

"You don't know that Love, maybe she'll surprise you." I bring him into a hug even though either of us are the touchy feely type, he lets me hug him.

"I do know it Winter that's the problem." He sighs into my shoulder and I try not to flinch. I know he won't hurt me but my instincts are telling me to run.

"You wanna bolt don't you?" Rowan chuckles and sits back so he can look me in the eyes, his arms still holding my waist.

"I-I don't want to bolt I'm just not used to you being a Beta yet." I snap while whacking his head in annoyance.

"Oh okay," He smiles at me but then gets a serious look on his face, "Do you really think I should tell her?" I sigh and move closer to him so I can put my head on his shoulder and wrapping my arms around his waist, he sighs as well.

"Yes I do but do it when you're ready BOTH of you are ready." I tell him quietly as I hug him tighter.

Rowan huffs but softly smiles into my shoulder, "I don't think I'll ever be ready to tell her. Anyway who's the father?" he asks me suddenly.

"Aires. He's nineteen and a Raven Shiftier also he's an asshole." I told him right before the door opens showing Alec, Raven, Hope, Mac and Sarah in that order.

"Who's an asshole?" Alec asks me while leaning on the door frame, I shake my head because I'm not gonna answer that.

"What's up guys?" I ask lifting my head off Rowan's shoulder to look over at them, my arms are still around his waist as his are still around me. Raven growls lightly I almost miss it.

"You guys were taking forever and Hope and Sarah started fighting again so we came out here to see what was taking y'all so long but I guess we know what it was." Alec snaps walking back inside leaving us just to stare after him.

"What was that about?" Rowan asks standing up pulling me along with him, I let him go and take a step away from him.

"It uh looked like you guys were having a moment there." Mac replies locking eyes with me to make sure I get what he means.

"NO THAT WAS NOT WHAT WAS HAPPENING!" Rowan and I shout loudly shattering my noise beerier completely. "WE DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER THAT WAY!"

"Calm down guys I was just letting you guys know what it looked like to us." Mac holds up his hands and freaking winks at me.

"Are you done speaking with her? Cause we should head back." Raven states looking away from us.

Rowan gives me a look that just makes me sigh, "Actually I kinda want to talk to you for a little while if you don't mind." I ask Raven she gives me a 'are you serious?' kind of look but I just shrug making her sigh.

"Fine sure but y'all go inside you peeping toms." Raven snaps at the others making everyone jump including me because she used her Alpha voice.

"Raven!" Rowan and I snap at her she just rolls her eyes and shoos the others inside than she leans on the door frame.

"What's up?" Shit she sounds pissed. Rowan was right she is starting to feel the draw toward him.

"Umm have your feelings changed toward Rowan?" Her mouth drops open than she snaps it shut it and glares at me.

"What do you mean?" 

"I think you know what I mean." 

"I don't!" 

"You do!" 

"Stop it Winter!" 

"No because you do know what I mean but you don't want to believe it!"

We both just stare at each other pissed at the other, I sigh and lay on the ground wanting to shift but I fight it. Raven lays beside me but she still looks pissed, I look at the white ceiling not knowing what to say to her.

"I shouldn't feel this way toward him, should I?" She asked me suddenly making me stare at her.

"Why can’t you?"

"Because I'm his Alpha and he's my Beta do you know how rare that is?" 

"I don't know, how rare?"

"10 out of 1000 Alpha's go for their Beta's but the amount for female Alpha's going for their male Beta's is 1 out of 5000!"

I stare at her with my mouth open and my eyes wide, "Wait is this just for the wolves or all?" I ask her.

"All, every freaking thing." She sighs as do I because fuck! "So I feel nothing and you know nothing, okay?" I glare at her not responding for a while which makes her growl.

"Shh! I'll keep quiet FOR now." I stand and help her up again she growls, "Stop growling at me it's annoying!" I snap but she just laughs as we go back inside.

"What am I gonna do with you?" Raven asks me as Alec and Rowan stand up.

"Donno love me?" I smirk at her than hug Rowan making both Alec and Raven snap their jaws, "I will whack you both!" I lean into Rowan making Raven growl again. I go to her and hug her even though she tries to push me away, "I was right." I breathe right in her ear and she freezes than picks me up and literally tosses me across the room to Mac who barely catches me in time.

"Really Raven are you trying to kill her?" Mac hisses as he tucks me into his chest, "What is wrong with you? She's small and fragile you could have broken her!" Mac snaps at her, my mouth drops open.

"I'm not fragile you ass! Let go!" I wiggle but he doesn't let me go till Rowan grabs me and takes me away from Mac who grumbles. I'm happy till Rowan starts hugging me to his chest, I growl loudly. "Rowan! Why?"

"Yes Rowan why?" Raven snaps making both Rowan and I flinch because she is using her Alpha's tone.

"Because she is my friend who happens to be-" Rowan starts but I flip him over than hold him down.

"Finish that sentence and find out what happens!" I growl lightly with my arm on his throat.

"Fine whatever just get off!" I get off him and help him stand, "I'll see you later Winter." He hugs me than he and Raven wave to everyone and leave.

"At least you didn't punch Rowan this time." Hope mutters under her breath so I grab a pillow and throw it at her but she blocks it.

"Asshole," I mutter before looking at Sarah and Alec. "So. . . What are y'all?"

"You're not ready for that yet Love." Alec smiles at me which just makes me annoyed, "Another time and Sarah we should probably should get going." I flip him off and flop on the couch.

"Yeah okay bye see you guys later." Mac mutters as Sarah pulls me off the couch and into her arms for a hug that I slowly return.

"Bye you assholes." I mutter when she lets me go.

"Bye Winter." Sarah and Alec said at the same time and then walk out the door waving.

Once there gone I head back to the bathroom cause I'm sick again. Hope and Mac stay till about ten pm, Kara doesn't mind cause she likes them and Tom just doesn't care. We stayed in my room just watching movies well I kept heading to the bathroom .

After they leave Mitch comes and sleeps in my room saying that he wants to make sure nothing happens. I just roll my eyes and let him because he won't go anywhere when he's worried.
