Chapter 7

Lana's P.O.V.

I sat there and stared at him, breathing heavily. I knew I'd have to tell him at some point, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

'Lana, who did this?' Shane repeated. He looked so upset and angry. I felt tears begin to trail down my face. Suddenly Shane's arms where around me, trying to comfort me.

'Shh, Lana, shh, it's alright; you're alright.' He whispered in my ear.

'My father' I whispered 'He did it.' I began sobbing into his chest. His arms tightened around me and he growled quietly.

'Do you want to talk about it?' He asked quietly. I nodded my head; I didn't usually like talking to people about the marks, but with Shane, I felt safe, like I could tell him anything. He lifted me up with ease and placed me back on the bed.

'I don't know where to start.' I whispered.

'How about the beginning.' I nodded and took a deep breath. 

'Okay, just promise me you won't interupt until I've finished, okay?' He nodded and I looked over to the other side of the room.

'Okay,' I said looking back towards him. 'It happened when I was 10 years old. I had just arrived home from school and my parents where arguing. I didn't think much of it, they were arguing all the time. My mother said whenever they were, to just go into my room. So that's what I did, just went into my rooom. It terrified me everytime.

 

'Anyway, I walked past them and heard part of the argument, it was about me. My father was yelling at my mother about how much I had ruined their lives, and if she had given birth to a boy, they wouldn't have to live like this.

 

'By this time I was in my bedroom crying. I always thought my father had loved me. He used to take me to the park and call me his little princess. Next thing I knew, there was a growl and my mother was screaming in pain, me being me, I ran out to check on my mother.'

 

I stopped, shaking. Shane noticed this, and took my hands. I took a deep breath and continued.

 

'I ran out of my room and saw my mother on the floor in a pool of blood. My father was no where to be seen; so I ran to my mother, but she was screaming at me, telling me to run. So I did, I ran, I ran to my bedroom, only to be cut off by a huge wolf. He growled at me; I screamed and ran the opposite way. I had hardly gotten a couple of metres when he jumped onto my back and caused this.'

I took my hands out of Shane's and turned so I was half facing away. I lifted my top up and showed him my back. I heard him gasp and then immediately growl. I knew what he saw. I had scars going from my left shoulder all the way across the top of my back.

'After he did this, he changed back with a look of horror on his face and ran out of the back door. I haven't seen him since.' I finished, looking down at my hands. He put a finger under my chin and lifted my face, forcing me to look at him.

'Thank you for telling me.' He said softly. We talked about nothing for a while and I eventually fell back asleep, spooned against Shane's chest.

 

I awoke the next morning with Shane still asleep next to me. I took the opportunity to grab a quick shower and pulled on a pair of skinny jeans, a tank top. before I left the room, I grabbed a hoodie and began to pull it over my head whilst leaving the room. I heard a gasp from behind me. I spun around, quickly pulling the hoodie down. Shane's mother, Amy, stood there, with a look of shock on he face. She spun me around and pull the hoodie back up. She traced the scars.

'Lana, what happened?' She asked quietly. I quickly explained what happened and told her about last night with Shane. She looked please at the last part.

'Well, it's a good thing you told him. Anyway, I was just coming up to wake Shane up, is he awake?' I shook my head.

'Nope, i'll wake him if you like?'

'Oh, thank you Lana; I must warn you though, he is a very heavy sleeper.'

'Thanks for the warning' I laughed heading back into the room. Shane still lay there, asleep. I tried poking him. He didn't budge. I shook him hard.

'Shane' I practically yelled down his ear 'Stop being a lazy arse and get up!'

'Would you like me to help?' A small voice asked. I turned around to see a small girl of about 6, looking at me. I nodded.

'Are you Shane's sister' She nodded smiling. She was a tiny girl, with small features and golden hair tied up in two plaits, and eyes just like Shane's, leaf green.

'What's your name sweety? I asked bending down to get to her height.

'Ruby, are you Shane's mate?' I nodded at he smiling.

'Yes, I'm Lana.'

'Good, your pretty.' I gaped at her and then smiled.

'Thank you. Now lets wake your brother up.' We backed well away from the bed and then ran, yelling and hurled ourselves on top of Shane. It was like jumping onto a rock. We heard a loud 'oooft' and we rolled off the bed laughing. We were still on the floor, when Shane got up and glared at us, putting a shirt on when he saw his sister there. He suddenly smirked, reaching down and got us both under each arm, as if we weighed nothing. He began taking us downstairs, both me and Ruby screaming at him to put us down. He didn't release us until we got into the kitchen, putting us down infront of his very startled parents.

All three of us stood there laughing for a few minutes, until we saw the food and rushed to the table to begin eating. His parents just sat there looking bewildered.

'He wouldn't wake up so me and Ruby jumped of him' I explained. They seemed to understand

 

'Lana, will you play hide and seek with me today?' Ruby asked after we finished eating.

'Of course sweetie,' She squealed.

'Shane will you play aswell?' She pleaded. Shane looked like he was about to tell her no; her face dropped.

'Please, please, pretty pleeeease?' She asked jumping up and down. Shane looked over to me.

'Come on Shane, it'll be fun!' I laughed at him. He gave up.

'Fine, I'll play.' He sighed. Ruby squealed in delight.

'Yay! Shane you're it!' She yelled before taking off. He sighed again.

'You own me for this.'

'Yeah, sure, no leaving us hiding for hours.'

'I'm not that much of a jerk.' He complained. I raised a eyebrow at him.

'Okay maybe sometimes, but I promise not to leave you hiding for hours. I promise.' I smiled and ran off to hide.

 

It was 3 hours later when we decided to stop playing, and even then it was to just get lunch. We were sat at the table eating when Amy came running in.

'Lana, there you are, after you've finished shopping we're going shopping!'

'Yep, you need clothes.' A new voice added in. I spun around to see an older girl, around my age, with flawless skin, the same green eyes as everyone else, and long, slightly curled honey blonde hair. She smiled at me.

'Hi, i'm Ava. You and me are going to get along just fine.' She came closer, looking at my face, she squealed 'I love your eyes!' I smiled. She the proceeded to drag me towards the car outside.

 

Hey guys! I uploaded a whole 3 days before I said I would, I'm quite proud of myself! Anyway, tell me what you think in the comments and don't forget to leave a heart <3

Chapter 8

Lana's P.O.V

We pulled up outside a huge shopping centre. I myself had never been one to enjoy shopping - the constant worrying about whether you will have enough money for everything. Ava and Amy told me to stop worrying and to just have fun. This didn't stop me looking at the price tags though.

'Lana!' Ava all but yelled at me, 'We have more than enough money to buy 100 of these stores.' She gestured to the shop we were currently standing in, some place called forever 21. Looking at the prices, I knew why I avoided this shop. 'Now get your butt back over there and pick some outfits before I buy stuff for you!' Now don't get me wrong, I like Shane's sister, but she scares the crap out of me. I felt my eyes widen as I thought of what she would try to force me in. I nodded at her and turned back and hurried back into the depths of the shop.

 

Ava's P.O.V

I can't believe my big brother has finally found his mate! I had my suspicions when he, mum and dad disappeared late at night and I didn't see them for days. Him being the Alpha's son, his mate would have frown up thinking she was human, wereas the rest of us had grown up knowing we were wolf and just waiting to bump into our mates. I don't know why, stupid rule, but all future Alpha females had to live far away from their mates, in the protection of another pack, their parents only earning enough to live. Something about it making them less selfish or something. I don't know, ask the fates. Anyway, I was supposed to be joining them at breakfast, but the goddamn alarm clock didn't go off again!

Earlier that morning

I awoke at around 11am to hear Ruby squealing and Shane laughing. Wait, what? I ran to my window and looked in our back garden. Yeah. There it was. Shane and Ruby. Playing. Together. There was another girl there who I could only assume was his mate. God he was already whipped. I smirked to myself. I'm going to get so much fun out of this. There was a knock at my door and I tore my eyes away from the window to my mother at the door.

'Hey Mum'

'Your brothers got his mate.' She could hardly contain her smile. She loved it when people found their mates.

'I know, I was just watching them playing with Ruby.' I smirked.

'Ava, don't you dare start teasing your brother.' She scolded. I huffed; I was never going to be able to make fun of him when Mum was here.

'Anyway' she continued 'I came up here to ask if you could take Lana shopping with me - she only owns about 5 outfits, she needs clothes, and I think she will be more comfortable with someone her age.' I perked up when I heard the
