Emmett
I did not see it coming! No, I don't mean the thing my sister did. Though I never saw that one coming too, but probably should, suddenly a lot of their private jokes made sense. I didn't even know they had private jokes.
But no, I meant that my mate is a trans person. I didn't have a lot of understanding of what that meant. So I googled, a lot. There's good information if you look for it.
At least, now I was semi prepared so I don't make a fool in front of her. It's funny how dad had to keep it a secret who his mate was from his family. Now, my family knows it and I'm just worried about the rest of the world finding out. I know I shouldn't, the world is changing and all that. But I can't help but to fear discrimination.
After that disastrous attempt of a lunch, dinner is a breeze. My sister is quiet like a mummy.
2 days passed and still nothing, no dream, not a word. I think that freaked me out more than I care to admit. I liked dreaming about her. If the dream is good, of course, the last one really weirded me out!
Another 3 days and still nothing. At breakfast, I'm puzzled about something and I have to ask dad about it.
"Dad, where's uncle Nate? I never saw him again since that day." - I asked him. At this, my sister's brows shot up!
"Oh my Goddess, did you fire uncle Nate?" - Rosalyn questioned, very scared. I got scared too.
Dad laughed, so did aunt Denise.
"Betas can't be fired. They can only be impeached. Plus, do you seriously think I'd fire my own brother because you were inappropriate with your cousin?" - Dad smirked.
"No, he asked for some time off to take care of his son." - Dad continued, calmly.
"Must be nice having a father who actually care about his children." - She spoke and everybody gasped.
"Rosalyn, I understand you're hurt..." - Dad started but got interrupted.
"Hurt? Do you have any idea of what took me to make that decision? Have you asked me what it was to see my... cousin and I get attacked? Can you grasp what it's like to have one of the most defining moments in your life forever tarnished?"
"We had a beautiful moment together that was supposed to be about us and our first times and it ended up being about getting attacked and not being able to see the person you love like you somehow committed a crime!" - Rosalyn was livid. Her voice was deeply distraught.
"The only person who's acted inappropriate here is you, dad. I can not believe you fought so hard to love whoever you want to love and I'm not afforded the same opportunity!" - She schooled. And then left the table.
Damn. I gotta hand it to her, she would make one hell of an Alpha. That was one hell of a speech. Daddy was in tears by the end of that. Even I was shook. Scratch that, everyone was shook.
"Are you okay, Samantha? You haven't said anything to me all week!"
"You mean, after you tried to bamboozle your way into a kiss?"
"I'm sorry about that. I thought I was being cute. Never mind."
"Well, you weren't! You think I don't know what you want?"
"What boys like you want? They think it's fun or freaky to experiment."
"Wait, that's not what this is."
"Right, what do you know about me? Really? If you wanted to get to know me, you'd ask real questions!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like that, I apologize. I do want to get to know you."
"Now it's too late. Goodbye!"
"No, please!"
I woke up scared again. I nearly cried I was so spooked. Damn, these dreams are kicking my ass more than aunt Denise!
My sister was missing from breakfast. After that show last night, it's difficult to assess whose side I'm in. I wanted to be on dad's side. But she is my only sister, after all. I may not want to see her ascend. But that doesn't mean I want her to suffer. Even if she's being misguided. It's her mistake to make. It's not as if she's having an affair with a mated man. Or that she's cheating on her mate. It may be creepy to me, but they're not actually related.
After I left the dining hall, I brushed my teeth and knocked at my sister's door. I almost wished we had dad and uncle Nate's relationship that one just barged into the other's room. But alas, unless the house is on fire, I don't barge in hers. And neither does she on mine.
She opened the door half expecting it to be dad.
"Good morning, sister." - I greeted her as I entered her room.
"If you came to lecture me, I'm not in the mood." - She barked.
"I didn't, actually I came to tell you I'm on your side!" - I said and she gasped.
"I mean, I don't agree with any of it. But I would be the biggest hypocrite if I said I never wanted to... you know, before I'm mated." - I told her. She grimaced.
"You know that's not what our relationship is about, right?" - She pondered, carefully.
"I know that I can't compare to dad and Lauren cause they thought they're mates and we can't be. But that doesn't take away from the fact that I do love him. I don't care if he's not and will never be my mate!" - She explained in a serious tone.
"I understand." - I said as I took a seat next to her.
"I don't think anyone understand. They think I committed an unspeakable crime like no one has ever had unmated sex in the history of the pack!" - She spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"You're right, of course." - I replied. I could tell she needed to vent, so I let her. Sometimes you help more lending an ear than giving advice, not that I had any to give.
"I mean, we've been together for months. It's not like I woke up one day and said: fuck it! Let me lose my virginity to some random boy I find on the street!" - She snickered.
"Months?!" - I questioned, gobsmacked.
"Yes, brother, months. You just took your time noticing it." - She smirked.
"When you called out my secret boyfriend I was scared anyone would find out." - She confessed.
"I'm sorry about that. I was just giving you a hard time. You know, it's our dynamic. But I never imagined it would be..."
"I know you didn't. I just can't believe uncle Nate always knew. He really is a great Beta. Also, I can't believe he knew how to plan patrols on where we'd be. It's genius." - She was in awe of him as she spoke.
"And the fact that he never said it to anyone, not even his mate, makes me respect him even more if that's even possible." - She continued.
"I agree. I would never be able to handle a secret like that!" - I croaked.
"Well, when you consider that he was the first to know dad's secret makes sense that he doesn't want to out anyone. Even though my situation and dads' are completely different." - She explained.
"I can't believe I'm telling you this but I know you'll be mated before I do. I have no hope of finding my mate before you. That also made me a little on edge." - She admitted. I gasped.
"So that was like your 'fuck you, Goddess'." - I snickered.
"Not that I'd say it out loud but yes, a little." - She laughed softly. I haven't seen her smile once since that day. That was worth it, to be honest.
"Hey, my mate still might have a twin brother for you or sister." - I tried to cheer her on.
"No offense to anyone, but I'm pretty sure I'm straight. Thanks for saying though!" - She replied with a naughty smile.
"I know, right?! We are both heterossexuals. Who knew?!" - I laughed. So did she.
We haven't had an honest talk in I don't know how long ago. We're so caught up in the competition we forgot to just be siblings. I can see why aunt Daphne was daddy's best friend.
We talked for hours still. It was nice to have this moment with her.
At dinner, at least her spirit is up a little.
"Did you have any more dreams, son?" - Daddy asked me.
"I did, but the more I dream the worse it gets. I never even met her and I already lost her!" - I confessed in a bleak mood.
"Chin up, Emm. You'll see that once you meet her, everything will fall into place!" - Daddy cheered me up.
"Just don't go up to her and kiss her like your father did to me." - He snickered.
"Oh my Goddess! You liked it. Admit it!" - Dad smirked. Daddy blushed. His cheeks turned pink.
"I did, but as much as I hate to admit, it was easier for us than it will be for him. That would not fly today. Actually, that doesn't fly with any girl whatsoever." - Daddy stated.
"Thanks for admitting that, daddy, I know it wasn't easy. And even if it was a guy I wouldn't do that. But I'm glad it isn't." - I snickered.
"We get it son, you're straight, move on!" - He smirked.
"I didn't know what I did wrong to end up with two straight children!" - Daddy snickered.
"Hey, Rosalyn isn't mated yet. Who knows?" - Dad chimed in. She's silent.
"Yeah dad, we talked after breakfast today, that's not happening, sorry to disappoint. She likes it just as much as you do!" - I snickered. Dads were shocked at my words.
"Emmett!" - Rosalyn gasped.
"I'm glad you too talked. I would be devastated if my sister didn't talk to me!" - Daddy observed. He didn't look so happy.
"Also, for the record, I don't agree with Dan's decision. I mean, I don't agree with the unmated sex either, don't get me wrong! But I don't think separating you too will help the situation."
Everybody at the table was surprised by daddy's statement. I could sense it took a lot for him to say it. Like he was brewing it for a while. But still. Rosalyn was more shocked than ever.
"I can totally see why you are a Ford, daddy. At least, you make sense." - She spoke looking at him in admiration.
"Please, by all means, lead the way, mate. But if she loses Alpha over this, it'll be on your conscience." - Dad looked threateningly at daddy.
"I'm already losing Alpha, dad, have you not been paying attention?" - She did not miss a beat, my sister. She couldn't be more related to Daphne if they were blood. Dad looked pissed of.
"First of all, no one is losing Alpha and no one will lose Alpha for dating anyone. Not in the history of this pack that your mom made me study." - Daddy stated. Now he looked angry.
"Second, I didn't say she was allowed to have unmated intercourse. Nor that I agreed with it." - He continued.
"My point is: she is 17. If she is mature enough to run a 500 person pack in 8 months, she should be able to handle one horny nephew." - He stated. If his eyes could turn black, they would be.
"What do you mean, daddy?" - Rosalyn asked, looking hopeful.
"I mean, in the history of the world, no one has ever stopped teenagers from getting together if they wanted. If your father managed to keep me a secret from werewolves. And you managed to keep it a secret from everyone but Nate for months, it stands to reason it won't be long until you're kissing each other in school bathrooms." - He stated. Daddy was possessed.
"And yes, I realize now that you've already been in the warriors' locker room with him. I didn't realize then but I get it now." - He continued, looking at her suspiciously.
"That wasn't what it looked like." - She argued.
"Right, so you say, but how can I know if you don't talk to me? And I defended you when Emm said you had a secret boyfriend." - Dad rebuked.
"You're right, daddy, I apologize. I din't think you'd approve." - She confessed.
"I don't. But a wise person once said: we didn't fight like hell to love who we want to love so that others are not afforded the same opportunity." - He replied. Rosalyn was in awe.
Daddy actually quoted Rosalyn's speech the other night and she marveled.
"I can't believe you're saying this!" - Dad spoke, impatiently.
"Please tell me, mate, what law is she breaking? There's a clear difference in agreeing with someone than agreeing they should have a voice." - He replied.
"The french philosopher Voltaire said: I may not agree with what you're saying, but I'll defend your right to say it to the death." - He lectured.
"That's different. That's free speech. She speaks plenty." - Dad scoffed.
"I know, I mean that as a metaphor. I just think she should be treated no different than any other teenager." - Daddy finalizes. They looked estranged from one another for the first time in my life.
"Rosalyn, we'll talk more later. I'm retiring now. Excuse me." - Daddy said and left the table. Dad soon followed. We were all floored.
"I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. I mean it."
"So you say."
"I really am sorry. What can I do to prove it to you?"
"You can kiss me."
I devour her lips hungrily. I rest my arms gently over her shoulders. She holds me tight as we kiss. It's amazing. I've never felt like this before. After we kissed for a long time, she offers to give me oral sex. I looked at her lips, my eyes are turning pitch black. I closed my eyes and tell her no, thank you. It's too soon. Then she says...
"You just did."
I wake up sweating, panting. Damn, I like this girl already! Can I have her by my side now, please? I need to meet her right away!
