- Avery's POV -
"Cassandra?" Ryan repeated still in a daze and I looked over to Cassandra to see that she had a smirk planted on her face. Meg just stared straight at Cassandra with wide eyes. Parker just looked uncomfortable with this whole situation.
"Hello Ryan" Cassandra said sinisterly as she walked closer to Ryan. Ryan just moved closer to Meg making Cassandra take a step back in surprise. Yay, point for Ryan!
"So...you're with her" Cassandra sneered and I glared at her while forcing myself not to lash out
"That's none of your business" Ryan narrowed his eyes into slits and Meg rested her hand on his shoulder
"Well, of course it is. You're mine" she said sweetly and walked up to Ryan
"I'm not yours and I will never be. I only belong to one person" Ryan yelled and turned to Meg
"You're lying!" Cassandra shouted and Ryan turned his attention away from Meg and towards her.
"You're lying....to yourself" Ryan whispered and took a step away from Cassandra. I almost felt bad for her, she was now sobbing in front of everyone with her mascara running. I really felt like I should comfort her but then she had to go open her big mouth.
"You have a son" she muttered through her tears and Ryan froze
"What?" Ryan said in shock and I myself was confused. Didn't she tell me a whole other story about Mickey? Or was that just a lie? I honestly dont know what to believe.
"I said you have a son. Well, we have a son" Cassandra sniffled and I gaped. I am so confused. She said that Mickey was her mate's son when he was with another woman.
"Thats not possible. I- we- I dont-" Ryan started stuttering and pulling at his hair
"He's five. After I left you for my mate, I was so...happy. A week later, I found out I was pregnant with your child. He left me. I was on the run, I was a rouge. Some ladies took me in when I was 9 months pregnant and they delivered Micheal. A week after he was born I left and I've been traveling from pack to pack for five years. Until recently, I got shot in the leg. I took care of myself and when I was done, I realized that it affected my walking a bit. I can't travel like I used to. So I came here. It was a last resort." Cassandra explained and I could tell Ryan was believing every word. I needed to get to the bottom of this.
"Stop. Cassandra." I spoke up turning all the attention to me
"What are you doing?" Parker whispered in my ear but I ignored him
"Stop the lies Cassandra. You told me a whole other story. Now I want to know which one is true." I demanded crossing my arms across my chest.
"I dont know what your talking about" Cassandra said innocently and I glared
"I'm not going to ask again" I gritted my teeth and Ryan stepped forward
"I want to see him. Then we'll know" Ryan said and I opened my mouth to object but he cut me off with a warning glare. I huffed in defeat.
"Um, no problem" Cassandra replied and started leading everyone to her room. The one I returned Mickey to. Opening the door, she stepped inside, turning on the lights.
"Mickey can you come here?" Cassandra called out and a few seconds later Mickey came running into the crowded room. Ryan stepped forwards and kneeled down in front of Mickey while Meg, Parker, Cassandra and I just idly watched. Mickey's eyes wandered around and when he spotted Parker and I, he walked away from Ryan and came to me.
"Avie!" Mickey squealed and ran into my arms when I squatted down and opened them
"Hey buddy" I grinned and he frowned
"I thought I told you to call me Mickey" he pouted
"Oh sorry. Hey Mickey" I corrected and he giggled while giving me a thumbs up . Then he looked at Parker before walking up to him.
"Parkey! Is your voice back yet?" Mickey asked quietly and Parker nodded
"Why yes. It is" Parker smiled and Mickey gave him a fist bump. Then Mickey turned to Cassandra.
"Mommy, why are all these people here?" Mickey asked curiously
"Well, these people are going to help us Mickey. Now go back to your room and don't come out unless I tell you to" Cassandra ordered and Mickey said goodbye before running into his room.
"Well?" Cassandra asked Ryan and I noticed Meg's pale face
"He's not my son. Nice try though" Ryan said his face hard and Cassandra chuckled nervously
"Of course he is" she pressured and Ryan shook his head
"He doesn't look anything like me. Plus, I would know if he was my son and I now I know he isn't" Ryan said and Cassandra burst into tears. It was quite scary.
"Please. Take him. If you dont want me thats ok, but please take him. He's dangerous." Cassandra cried desperately and I raised an eyebrow. Is she mental?
"How is he dangerous?" Parker spoke up his voice laced with confusion
"E-everything I told you in the dining room is a lie. I'm sorry. But, h-he well, Avery. Everything I told you was true. However, I forgot a part" Cassandra said stuttering and now I was interested.
"Wait...what did you tell Avery?" Meg asked
"Well, basically she said that her mate had impregnated another wolf and lied to her about it. One day she went to visit the woman and that same day there was an attack. She was already in their house and the woman sent her and Mickey to hid. The rogues killed Mickey's mother and Cassandra found out they killed her mate too. Mickey was three and didn't know much at the time. He thinks Cassandra is his mother" I explained vaguely and Meg along with everyone else nodded
"So...tell me. What's the part you left out?" I asked and Cassandra looked towards the door of the room Mickey was in before looking back at me.
"He-he h-has powers" she whispered and I furrowed my eyebrows
"I didn't know until one day when I was making something for us to eat. I had just finished chopping the vegetables and I put the down knife. I started adding the vegetables to the pot when the knife. It, well, it started to move!" She said looking scared.
"It moved by itself and it was like it was thrown right at me. Good thing I ducked and it went into the wall. I turned around and Mickey was there, behind me with some kind of light coming out of his hands. I knew he did it. A few more incidents happened after that but when I was taking a bath and he moved the blow dryer into the tub, I was almost electrocuted. It was then, that I decided that I should come here. I need you to take him. I can't deal with him anymore. He's too dangerous" she whispered and I immediately knew who we needed. Alex. He would know what Mickey is capable of.
"One moment" I say breaking the silence and pulled out my phone. Everyone silently watched me as I dialed Alex number.
"Alex, are you in the pack house right now?" I asked though the phone
"Uh huh, I'm in Madds and Meg's room watching a movie with Madds and Jenna" he said and I guess they invited him to their movie night.
"Well, we need your help. We're on the first floor, make a left at the staircase and it's the fourth door. Please hurry" I said and hung up after he agreed
"Now what?" Cassandra said
"Now we wait" Ryan said putting his arm around Meg. A few minutes later Alex came through the door along with Jenna and Madds.
"Great, now it's a party" Parker grumbled and I hit his arm
"Hey guys" I greeted
"Why did you call?" Alex said and I led him to the door of Mickey's room
"Inside there, is a boy. That woman is suggesting that he's dangerous because he can move things with his mind" I said gesturing to Cassandra and he looked at me wide eyed
"Move things with his mind?" He asked to clarify and I nodded
"Well, I've only read about this once before. People with this power are very rare. It's been centuries since someone has been documented with this power. They're as rare as a whitewolf. Typically, white wolves and people with these powers have some sort of connection. They have a special bond. The moon goddess made it that way, I guess. Its almost like the white wolf is the protector of the person with these powers because they usually get them from a young age. Since the white wolves also has powers and is typically older they are supposed to be their guardians. It's destiny that a whitewolf and a person with such power is to meet." Alex said and gave me a pointed look along with everyone in the room except for Cassandra because she doesn't know that I'm a whitewolf. This is too much to handle, I'm supposed to be Mickey's protector now? Geez, do I get a break?
"Great! So, all we gotta do is find a whitewolf and Mickey will stay with him or her. I can finally move on with my life" she sighed in relief and something came over me because suddenly I wanted to break her nose since she talked about Mikey as if Mickey was something that was a pain and was tying her down. I took deep breaths before talking.
"You already found her" I said and she gasped
"Who?" she asked and I scoffed
"Me" I looked down thinking about how Mickey had ran into me that day. I guess it was all fate.
