(Katherine's POV)
"Werewolves are beings like humans... but just not completely human. You see, they have the wolf gene in them, which means they have wolf characteristics. That's why we have sharpened vision, stronger sense of smell, hearing, taste, can change into a wolf etc. Our feelings are also amplified. However, Alpha's have stronger senses than any other normal werewolf. We werewolves live in packs, which are basically groups. We also have our own territories so we can't go on any other packs territory without their permission, or else it'd be trespassing. Every pack also has an Alpha and a Beta. The Alpha's the leader and the Beta's the second in command. If the Alpha's away on buissness it's up to the Beta to keep things in check," he explains.
I stare at the floor, holding my chin while absorbing all this information.
"So you're the Alpha right? I only assume this because I saw the way Becky bowed her head a little and only walked after you" I ask.
"Yes, I'm the Alpha" he says with pride.
"So does that mean Dean's your Beta? Because he's always with you."
"Yes he is. That, and the fact that he's also my bestfriend" he nods.
I scruch my eyebrows thinking of any other questions I may have about what he's told me so far, but I can't think of any.
He seems to realise this and speaks up.
"Would you like me to continue?"
"Yes, thank you."
He clears his throat before continuing.
"We train our wolves so they can protect themselves from rogues. Rogues are wolves that are banished from their pack, leave their pack or just don't have one. Most of them chose to become rogue and turn bloodthirsty and always want territory or to kill every chance they get."
A shiver runs up my spine.
He seems to notice and smiles a little.
"However, not all of them are bad. Some don't chose to become rogue and sometimes other packs accept them into theirs."
At this I also smile. At least all rogues aren't bad.
"As I was saying, we train our wolves. We also do this in case of war between other packs or a pack of rogues trying to attack."
"Other packs can attack? Why would they do that?" I ask confused.
"It depends, but usually it's either money or territory" he shrugs.
"Okay. You can continue" I smile.
"What else can I say?...Oh right, mates. So mates are basically your soulmate. You see, we werewolves believe that we started from the Moongodess. We belive she gave us this gene. The Moongodess also gave us soul mates. Our other half. Once you are 17 years old, you are able to find your mate. Once you set your eyes on them, you love them with all your heart and would protect them from anything. You'd find the one that will be there for you, that you can share your deepest secrets with and who you can trust. They mean everythjng to you. They basically turn into your whole world."
"That's so sweet" I whisper, silently awing.
"It is, but with the good there is always bad. When someone finds their mate, they can reject them. Rejecting them means that you don't want them or want anything to do with them. It leaves the rejectee heartbroken and the rejecter feeling powerful, as if he's accomplished something. However, soon they feel the effect of rejecting their other half. In some cases, they become so depressed that they commite suicide. They regret their decision so much, that they can't live with themselves anymore" he says, his lips in a tight line.
"That's just...awful! Who would do such a thing!?" I gasp.
He nods gravely.
"Yeah, but sometimes things work out. The rejecter realises his mistake and goes back to his mate. In some cases, they work things out and become mates again and have chlildren and their happily ever after" he smiles.
"That's great but I still don't like the idea of rejecting your mate" I pout.
He chuckles at my childish behaviour.
My eyes suddenly widen and a gasp leaves me.
"In my vision, when you were in the office and found out I was an Empathine and you were my Protector, Beck, Bethany, Ruby, Jay, Sebastian and Ronnie were there! That means there werewolves right?" I ask, eagerly.
"Yes" he nods.
"And the all the girls found their boyfriend on their 17th birthday! Then that must mean that...oh my God! They found their mates!" I gush.
"Would you look at that? My little sis is a genius" he teases, amused by my reaction.
However, I completely ignore him.
I'm really happy for the girls. They found their mate; the one they're meant to be with.
That just gives me another reason why I can kick all the boys' asses if they hurt any of the girls.
"Earth to Katherine. You still there?" Jason asks, still amused by my behaviour.
"Yeah yeah, let's continue? Can a werewolf ever have a human mate" I ask.
"Yes, they can. In that case, when they have children, the children will have only half the werewolf gene, meaning they'll only have one alelle that is werewolf and the other human. That means they'd only be half werewolf. They're not different from a regular werewolf as they still ahve the same sences, but in some cases the children can't shift or shift later than the usual age, which is 7 to, usually, 16. The half werewolves, that can't shift, can have mates though" he finishes.
"Okay. Is there anything else I should know about werewolves?"
"I don't think so. The only thing I can think of is the marking" he shrugs.
"The marking?" I ask as my brows scrunch together.
"It's okay, you don't need to know about that just yet. When you find your mate I'll explain it to you" he smiles.
At this I freeze.
"I-I'll have a mate?" I say emphasising the mate.
"Yes, of course. You do have the wolf gene in you."
At this my hearbeat speeds up. What am I going to do now!?
It's not that I don't want a mate, because I would absolutely love one. I mean, the idea of someone made just for you that will love you unconditionally... who wouldn't love that?
It's just that I'm scared. What if I'm not good enough to be a mate? What if he doesn't think we belong with each other? What if he rejects me?
The way Jason explained it, it sounded like hell. Maybe even worser that hell.
One thing I know about myself is that, after everything, I can't bear to lose anyone else. Especially my mate.
Jason seems to notice my worry beacause he speaks up.
"Hey, don't worry. You'll be a great mate. If he doesn't want you, then he's missing out on being able to love a wonderful, compassionate girl like you. He doesn't deserve you" he says softly.
At this, my worries seem to dissipate.
He's right, he doesn't deserve me if he rejects me.
"Besides, if he does reject you or hurt you in any way, I'll just hurt him" he smirks, trying to lighten the mood, but you can tell he's serious too.
"You getting all big bro protective on me?" I tease.
"Of course. Now that I've found out that your my sister, I'll do anything to protect you. You're my family" he smiles.
I smile too and immediatly wrap my arms around him.
I close my eyes, enjoying the moment.
But it doesn't last long as a question pops into my head.
What happened to Mr Collins?
