Sophia's POVThe drive home was silent and tense, Mom gnced at me from time to time but said nothing. Josh on the other hand tried to talk to me but got no response. Between finding out that I killed someone, that I'm a werewolf, and the drive to the station I had a lot of time for my sadness to turn into anger. We pulled into our driveway to see a Grey Toyota Tacoma. 'Great dads home which means I can chew both of them out. This makes it easier.' I got out not spearing a gnce at Joshua or Mother and went inside. Inside Dad rushed up to me hugging me and it made my skin crawl. The more I think about it, the angrier I got. Pushing him away but was stopped by Mom who called out to me."Sophia, we need to talk honey, please?" The soft tone of her voice just sent me over the edge."OK, YOU WANNA TALK MOM, LET'S TALK. LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU TWO AND EVERYONE LIED AND KEPT SECRETS FROM ME MY WHOLE LIFE. LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW YOU TWO, MY BROTHERS, AND EVERYONE WITH THAT FUCKING TATTOO ARE KILLERS, SPECIAL TRIAL MY ASS."We thought it would be best for you to grow up not knowing about this world," my father but it."ESTáS LOCO? I'M BORN IN IT BECAUSE OF YOU TWO. FOR ALL WE KNOW I GOT KIDNAPPED TWICE BECAUSE OF YOU. DID YOU EVEN THINK THAT TELLING ME THIS WOULD BE HELPFUL, SOMETHING LIKE, SOPHIA PEOPLE MIGHT KIDNAP YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE OUR DAUGHTER SO BE ON ALERT OR KEEP CALM OR YOU'LL GO INTO A BLIND RAGE AND KILL SOMEONE AND TRIGGER YOUR CURSE."They stood in silence not knowing what to say to calm me down, honestly, they couldn't say shit to make me calm down. My trust in them and everyone here has been broken. How many more lies have I been told? What other secrets are they hiding? I was so angry, I didn't realize my eyesight had gotten better. The colors were more vibrant and I could see further. My father stepped forward, eyes filled with concern."Sophia, calm down, your eyes are glowing."I took out my phone and looked at my face. My glowing eyes searing with anger stared back at me. I looked back at my parents before running to my room and smming the door. My mind was bnk as I y on my bed. Without meaning to I heard my parents downstairs (oh great super hearing, how annoying)."She has no control or even knows what she can truly do. I'll start training her first thing tomorrow morning," my dad said, worry in his voice."The boys were right, we should have told her years ago," Mom added. It's nice to know that my brothers wanted to tell me the truth. I got up walked over to my iPod and checked on one of my pylists then went back to bed. If my new-found super hearing is going to stay then might as well listen to something that I want to hear, I looked at the ceiling and slowly drifted off to sleep.Joshua's POVAs I walked home only the cold stare that Sophia gave me kept pying in my mind. All the times I've seen her have that ice-cold look at people, I never thought she would give it to me. I didn't want to lie to her but it wasn't up to me, or that's what I want to believe. Slowly walking home I saw Cole running towards me with a look of worry."Dude where have you been Paul has been trying to reach you?""I was with Aunty Terry. We went to the Witches to find Sophia.""Is she ok? We tried tracking her but no dice."Sigh, "let's head over to Paul's. If I'm gonna tell you guys this I'm only going tell it once." We walked up to a green two-story house to see Sarah and Paul walking out, both in shorts and a tank top completely barefoot."Josh where have you---?""I'll tell you everything and believe me, you need to hear this." After telling the pack what Aunt Terry and I found out and who we saw Paul and Sarah shared a grim look and Cole was unreadable which says something."So Sophia killed someone and activated the curse and is pissed at everyone for hiding the truth and to make this worse my brother is back in town.""At least that expins why that thing in the forest didn't kill you. But something feels off." Cole said sitting down in the grass of "our" clearing."I agree with Cole. There are too many things that don't add up," I added."Or maybe they do in some ways that we aren't seeing. Think about it we never found the third guy that was involved in the first kidnapping, he hide from us, only other wolves and hunters and experience Witches know how to hide from us and both Paul's and Soph's dads confirmed that the third wasn't one of us. Second, we don't know where your brother has been all these years, or who he might know. And third, how come he just so happens to be passing by that exact time and pce where the accident happened?""You do make a good argument Sarah. So what should we do, go to the elders and keep it to ourselves?" I asked with all of us looking at Paul."We keep on the low between us and Sammy's pack. He didn't hurt Sophia even though he could so let's use that to learn what we can. Agreed?" We all nodded but I wasn't completely sold. Sophia is already mad because of the secrecy and now we're doing it again. But what choice do we have? Tell the Elders and they're gonna say it's too dangerous and make us stand down. To how things are right now this might be the best move.Sophia's POVI woke up to the loud knocking of my dad, who I'm still mad at by the way. I didn't sleep much st night, how could I, each time I tried that man's face appeared followed by some very creative nightmares. And to be woken up at six in the morning on a Sunday was criminal."Soph it's training time let's go," Dad said in a cheerful voice finding out your daughter a murderer isn't a big deal, I guess not seeing that my brothers are killers. "Put on something loose. Your tracksuit, that works." With a sigh, I got outta bed and got dressed in my bck tracksuit, and met Dad in the "backyard" which was just an open space leading into the hoods. My Dad was waiting in shorts and a tank top with a solemn look on his face."Listen, honey, I wanted to apologize for keeping all of this. It was wrong of us to hide this from you, your brothers were right. We should have prepared you for this and all that comes with it.""Yes, you and Mom should have told me," my voice calm but stern. I was still pissed but we can't change the past. "So let's get this over with."We walked into the forest till we entered a clearing, and immediately a wave of different odors and all I recognized."Ok, so today I'll be training you with your newfound abilities, so you don't accidentally kill someone or expose yourself and by extension, us.""Theon told me about it, enhanced: speed, strength, senses, and turning into a wolf. What else is there to know?" I replied arms folded."He only told you what a werewolf can do but it's much more complicated than that. When we trigger the curse it boosts the attributes that we already have. For example, Paul is a Rugby pyer, before the curse his body was trained to take hits and keep moving. When he triggered the curse all that conditioning got boosted by eighty percent natural, only in wolf form can we draw out a hundred percent of our abilities. So based on your training in martial arts, what do you think you have over Paul?""I don't know, speed I guess."Dad tilted his head to the left then rexed his shoulders, "Not only speed but flexibility and your reflexes. Everyone's senses are heightened to the same degree but can be improved with training, that is your mother's specialty. So back to learning control."Anyone could look at Dad and see that he was trying to teach me as much as he could about the differences in abilities of a werewolf, which he wouldn't have to if you TOLD ME FROM THE START but whatever."Punch me." I looked at my dad shocked as he took a fighting stance. "You need to know what you're dealing with, that feeling of strength, power. Plus it's a good excuse to pu--."Without waiting for him to finish I rushed him with surprising speed trying to punch him in the face. Not surprisingly he caught my fist with no effort. The overwhelming strength I felt slowly faded away and my muscles rexed."You felt it didn't you, the speed, strength. For new wolves, the power responds to strong emotions and a need for it. Until you can control it like second nature, you need to stay calm."I nodded at him as a smile appeared on his face. With a sigh, I walked over to my Dad and hugged him. I was still kinda angry at him and Mom but they've always known what's best for me and my brothers so I'll cut them some sck."Ok, I have to head to the gym and you need to rest, you have a special day tomorrow.""What is happening tomorrow," I asked with a raised eyebrow."The Joining Ceremony. It's held every New Moon for new wolves. It's during this time new wolves get their pack tattoos and are linked to the pack.""Linked...like mind reading. That's actually a thing. I thought Twilight made it up.""The author of Twilight is a werewolf. Didn't you realize that the wolves were done better than the vampires? The author took heavy inspiration from this town," Dad said while folding his arms.I stood there in amazement. Seriously how many successful people are werewolves?"If you think that's impressive, let's get changed and show you what this town truly is," Dad said with a smug expression.
