Chapter 101
Even though the plan was to stay the night in Greenwoods , I wanted go home . I didn’t want to spend any more time in the place that had given me nothing yet taken everything away .
I asked Rocky if I could drive back with him and Taylor offered to ride with Blake . She hadn’t said more than two words to me , and I knew she was trying to avoid me . Right now , I didn’t care . 1 , to some length , understood why she didn’t tell me about what Rocky was . Blake had explained the whole secrecy thing , and it was between the two of them . Somehow , I doubted I would have believed them anyway .
The start of the journey back was quiet . Neither of us knew what to say . It wasn’t like we had never been alone together . I guess it was more than our dynamics had changed . I kept trying to start a conversation , but somehow it ended in a one – word answer .
“ You must have a few questions about the events that unfolded tonight . ” He finally broke the ice .
“ I do , but I don’t know what those questions are . I keep trying to think about what I want to know and what I need to be explained , but my brain turns off like it doesn’t want to know . I’ve lived this lie for 28 years , and today it’s all been shattered . So how does someone find answers to that ? ” I looked down at my hands and fiddled with my fingers .
“ I’m still the same person , Rosy . Nothing about me has changed , just like with Blake . It’s all the same . If you look at it , we both always wished we had siblings . We wished that so hard that it came true . I still can’t believe you’re my half – sister . ” He let out a big sigh .
“ Do you regret it ? Wishing you had a sister , now that you know who your sister is ? ” My voice was low , and I was nervous to hear his answer .
“ Of course not ! I’m happy you’re my sister . You and I have been through so much . I feel like this is a blessing . I don’t have to explain my life to you because you’ve lived it with me , ” he laughed .
“ But I’m sure there are questions you have about my life . The life I didn’t tell you about , ” he sobered up from his laughing and clenched the steering wheel .
“ How long -… how long have you known you were a wer -… a werewolf ? ” I didn’t know how to ask the question .
“ Since I was 16. You turn on your 16th birthday . After that , you go through some training , and once your 21 , you’re a fully matured wolf . ” He replied .
He reached over and squeezed my hands .
“ Ask me more , please : I don’t want this to be awkward . ”
“ Does Taylor know ? ”
He sighed again . “ Yes , she does . I’m sorry we never told you . We couldn’t . It’s against the rules to tell anyone that doesn’t need to know . ”
“ Is -… is -… she one as well ? ” I hesitated .
“ Not yet . She’s my mate , but we just weren’t ready for that commitment . Taylor asked if we could wait till we were ready to get married before we finished the bonding . Taylor is half – blood like you . Grace was the full blood that then passed down to Mrs. Callum and then to Taylor . The boys haven’t shown any signs , and Mrs. Callum didn’t either . It was just Taylor that had the scent . ”
“ Is that why you both have never gone out with other people ? Because you knew ? ”
Rocky nodded and smiled “ she’s felt the attraction too . Not as much as I do , but she keeps saying no matter how much she tries , the love Taylor has for
she can never have for someone else . ”
me ,
I chuckled . From the beginning , Taylor was smitten by Rocky . When they first met at school , she said he was the one . Then , every time they went on a date , she would come back even more smitten .
“ You can’t tell her I told you all this . It’s her story to tell , and you should definitely talk to her about it . Once we found out you were been itching to talk to you about it . But with how you freaked out that night at the picnic , I didn’t want to say anything with Blake approving it first . ”
