look at Julian before he stood up. It was too late because his attention was fixated on Jace. I felt that he was going to hurt Jace, so I grabbed his arm; and I was ready for him to hit me. To my astonishment he looked me in the eyes and asked me to let him go. He said it so softly in my mind until I felt a strong urge to obey him. 

"Please don't hurt Jace, he is someone I really care about." I begged.

Looking at the door he firmly replied, "I can only respect what you want; you're the only one who is innocent in your family." 

He kissed me on my hand and sat on the windowpane. I was so confused, but I didn't have time to attend the thought of what had just happened. I ran downstairs and met Jace at the door.

He looked up inside the house and his eyes wondered. 

"I smell a fowl scent here, are you here alone Halo?" asked Jace.

I was out of breath and I couldn't answer right away. He stepped back and phased, leaving his skin on the doorstep. He leaped into the house in one jump.

Before I knew it, he was up the stairs. 

"Please don't go up there JACE!" I said.

I ran up after him and fell down the steps before I could reach the top staircase. I heard a loud thrashing and then I saw Jace again. 

He snatched me up by my arm without warning.

 "He was here, and you didn't warn us? He could have killed us in our sleep LO! What is wrong with you?" asked Jace

His voice was monstrous and demonic, it was seasoned with fear. 

I began to cry, "I'm sorry Jace, I'm so sorry." 

He looked like he was still really scared, but his face softened, and he hugged me tightly. 

 "We must tell the others." he whispered.

On the way to my house I felt afraid. Afraid of what the others would think. I could only think about Tyson and how this was his fault, why couldn't he just tell the pack? Why couldn't he just keep me out of this, and why did he come and get me? Then Jace dropped a bomb on my thoughts. 

Looking angry and disturbed Jace spoke, "Emily and I saw Tyson tonight at Danglers Creek, he had that same fowl scent on him, the scent of Julian. When Emily asked him if he had been near his brother he froze, he then started to confess to us that you knew he was here, and you didn't tell anyone. I just looked at Jace with my hands over my mouth. 

"What a piece of shit!" I screamed. You don't believe him do you Jace?" 

He wouldn't look at me. He just slid his hand over his mouth and ignored my question. Then went on to tell me more about what Tyson said. 

"Tyson told us that he didn't want you to get into any trouble, so he didn't tell. He even sounded really bad for you and all that you've been going through." 

I was floored by these lies I was hearing. I wanted to know where he was so I could call him out on his lies.

 "Where is he Jace, Where the hell is Tyson?" I asked.

 I couldn't believe he pinned this on me; when it was in fact his and his mother's fault that Julian was not being dealt with. He threw me under the bus to cover his mother's butt, instead of just telling the truth. I walked through the door to my house and felt eyes burning into me. I assumed everyone could smell Julian's scent on me. My dad walked over to the door and guided me into the kitchen.

 "Honey, why didn't you call someone to let them know that Julian was in town?" He said.

I was so fed up with all the drama from this week. I couldn't deal with this any longer and I was blank. 

"Dad, I don't have an answer for you, I just didn't. It just seems like everyone in this house is keeping secrets." I cried.

I sunk into the nearest chair to avoid his unrelenting glare. Even though Tyson threw me under the bus, I still knew how important it was to keep my mouth shut. His mother would be kicked out of the pack for not telling, or even worse, she could be killed. Every eye in the room was on me and I felt so alone. Kain came over and gave me a hug, then looked back at my family while holding me.

I didn't care that he was my baby brother. In that moment I was lacking love and I felt so low. I had never seen my family this up in arms before. Kain held me closer and addressed my family, 

"Don't treat her like this you guys, she is going through hell right now." He said.

They all just stood there looking at me with the same burning eyes. Tahoe was even watching me strangely. 

Then I heard Tyson say, "You have no idea what kind of danger you put us in, you only think of yourself." 

I couldn't believe it, that freaking jerk! He was standing between Emily and Jace hiding the whole time. I couldn't believe my ears; did he just accuse me of being the only one who knew? I couldn't believe that Tyson was using me to cover his own ass. He was the one that knew about his brother being in town. He was the one that told me not to say anything. Emily bolted forward to add insult to injury. 

"Tyson told us everything, even that part about you kissing him. How could you disrespect my mother in that way?" said Emily.

 I couldn't let Tyson have that lie as well, so I defended myself.

"Tyson is a LAIR! I didn't kiss Julian, why aren't you guys out looking for him? instead of just sitting here interrogating me?" I asked.

I looked at Tyson, but he only watched the floor. Kain was at my defense trying to make them see that Tyson was a lair.

 "Tyson hits Halo, so how can you guys believe anything that dog says? I don't believe him for a second, he's a snake!" said Kain.

 Everyone was talking all at once, Jace was yelling at Tyson, while Emily held him back. My mother was yelling for everyone to calm down. I felt like giving up and running out of the door. Who was I kidding; my family would catch me before my foot hit the ground. Hollyn grabbed my hand and winked at me and I felt relieved. At least her and Kain still cared.

My dad pounded his fist on the table, breaking it into pieces. 

"Everyone quite down, we have to make a plan!" he hissed.

 His voice was deep and burning through our ears. We all stopped to look at my father, he was the only Alpha and his word was stone. 

"I don't care who is at fault, we have to end him now. He is too strong and dangerous to be here." said my dad.

But only one thing stung my mind, if he was so bad, why didn't he kill me? So, I reluctantly asked, "Why daddy, why can't we just forgive him?" 

He sighed with wide eyes and said to my mother, "Caroline, take Halo to her room." 

I shook my head and shot a cold look at my mother.

 "Don't bother, I'm not a child, I think I can manage," I said.

 My mother just looked at my dad and stepped back letting me by. I didn't mean to be that way with her; I just really wanted things back to normal. On the way to my room I noticed a small light on in Galvin's room. I knew he missed me, I really missed him too. I quietly pushed his door open to find him missing. I knew there was only one place he could be outside of my window on the roof.

 I found him outside with his cellphone in his hand texting away. 

"Can I get a hug Galvin," I asked. 

His eyes were bright as he turned and screamed my name, "Halo, what's going on? Why didn't you come to the rituals?"

 I really didn't want to tell him, but I had to. 

"Something's not right with me bro; I'm not like you guys. I never have been and probably never will be." I said, while holding back the pain in my heart.

 Little frowns shaded his eyes as he asked why, "What do you mean you're not like us?" 

"I don't know I'm just different from you guys," I said. 

He then crawled over and gave me a big bear hug, his huge frame towering over mine. 

"I love you more than anything in this world Halo." he said.

I could feel the pain lifting from my heart when I was in his arms. 

"Can I join, "said Trisha? 

I couldn't believe it was her; she looked so much better since the last time I'd seen her. I called out her name in shock, "Trisha?" 

She did a little dance and held her hands up.

 "In the flesh" she said. 

She was still funny and goofy as always. Sitting down next to me she joked, "So you didn't phase huh? Well, I say so what! Who needs another bigfoot wolf around anyways?" 

We all hugged each other and laughed like nothing had ever happened. Even though I knew it was temporary, it felt good to laugh and be happy.

 

 

Chapter 3

 

My car was taken away from me when Emily told mom her version of what happen at school. I was so mad with everyone for the way they were acting. My dad just shook his head and left my room, but not before slamming the door so hard I nearly pissed myself. I was even madder at my mother, and to make matters worse, she had to drive me to school. I mean how insensitive could she be? She still didn't mention one word to me about phasing. Did she think it would go away; and what about this big black and blue mark on my face from Emily? 

She attempted to scold me, "Your temper has gotten so out of control lately, what am I going to do with you?" she said. 

I really didn't want to hear one word she had to say. I put my earphones in and turned my music up loud. I knew it would piss her off good, but I didn't care. Before the verse played, she reached over and snatched the cord from my ears snapping it in half. I couldn't believe she was acting this way. Then she slammed on breaks knocking me into the dash. I saw her take a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then the fireworks started. 

"We are a pack and a strong one at that. We have no room for weakness in this pack. Do you know how it looks to have the pack leader's daughter rumored to be in bed with an enemy Alpha? Tyson is telling anybody that will listen that you told him that Julian contacted you. What did Julian say to you? Is he still lying about our family? You belong to this pack, how could you let him touch you? I don't want you to see him again!" said mom.

 Yelling as loud
