Chapter 46 - All Day In Bed

I have always known Mary-Anne and my dad had a deep relationship, aside from my mum and I, she must be very hurt by my dad's sudden death.

"Relax, he just asked me to call him father because I never had a father. We first met when my mother the beta of the moon dark pack drove me out of the packed town because I couldn't find a mate. No one wanted a hybrid as a mate and more so I was very sick" she sniffed and stares at me.

"He found me half-dead and he cured me. He so was kind enough to let me call him father" Mary-Anne muttered.

"I see" was all I could say. To think my dad had another daughter somewhere else sent hot rashes to my spine.

"Are you feeling pains again?" she asked concerned.

"No, tell me do you also think my dad was killed" I murmured.

"It's possible" she scoffs as she stood up to leave.

"What do you mean? Tell me what you know" I growl getting up on my feet.

"What if he was killed? What are you going to do about it" she scoffs looking at me.

"Exactly, so you and your mum should just let it go" she hisses as she walks away.

"Let it go huh? I guess he wasn't a father to you like he was to me, you don't expect us to just keep quiet and not get the answers we seek" I yelled behind her. She turns and faces me.

"You will end up getting hurt, just focus on finding yourself the cure" she rumbles and disappeared into the woods.

I looked up at my dad's grave with a million questions in my mind. What happened to your dad? No one is going to stop me from finding the truth. I lay on dad's grave crying. I heard footsteps approaching yet I didn't have the strength to turn around to see who it was.

"Give me your hand, Nancy," the shadow behind me ordered. I still couldn't move an inch. He carried me in his arms, I could only comply, I wish I could fight back but I couldn't, each passing second my mind was running around like a machine trying to figure out what happened to my dad.

"I really love you, Nancy and you will pull through this" his voice echoed in my ear. What seemed like a romantic moment, sounded like nothing? I didn't find my voice. He carried me to my room and rested me on my bed. I flinched as his hand touch my bear waist.

He gently took off my shoes and laid beside me on the bed holding me from behind.

"My dad was killed by a werewolf" I sounded very emotional.

"W-what?" He was utterly shocked.

"Baby, I need to know what happen to my dad," I said breaking down.

"Why will you think that?" He muttered holding me tighter.

"Someone brought my dad back to the car, my mum is sure of it" I sob.

"Look at me" he whispered as he turns me around to face him. He kissed me on my lips for the first time since we started dating. He has always had this unnerving effect on me. My heart was pounding.

"I know how painful it is to lose someone you love, for someone like your dad it must be torture and I also know you can hold on for your mother and for me too" he muttered planting another kiss on my forehead this time around. I had butterflies in my stomach.

He tried to avoid my outrageous question, he insisted it was not possible. He left shortly after trying to get the idea out of my head.

I took a shower and went to check on my mum, she was fast asleep. I went back to my room and lay in my bed. I have been thinking about dad, even in the shower unfortunately I couldn't stop. As I lay there, my eyes finally catch some sleep.

'You need to be strong Nancy and you can't give up on yourself. Not yet we have come way too far to quit this fight'

'Dad where are you, I can't see you'

'Don't cry Nancy, it's time for you to go back, your mother is waiting for you. Remember what I told you, you have to live.'

'Dad please don't leave me, dad….'

"Dad..?" The next time I know the sun was already up, and my mum was by my bedside.

"Good morning, sunshine were you able to sleep well?" My mum asked with a smile she look energetic and cheerful. Is she taking some substance? I thought.

"I couldn't mum, I dreamt about dad" I muttered.

"I can imagine, now we only have each other. Here have this I'm sure you didn't eat anything last night" my mum said as she offered me a glass of juice.

"Thanks, mum" I pout.

"No school today?" My mum whispered.

"I don't have enough strength to do anything right now. You, no work?" I asked.

"Same here" she muttered as she lean to lay beside me.

"Let us give ourselves just today to stay in bed like this," she said hugging me on the bed.

"And tomorrow you are going to school and I will be going to work. I'm sure your dad wouldn't like it if we are sad like this" she uttered emotionally. I hugged her back.

"Yes, mum. Mum, can I ask you something?" I muttered as I adjust myself on the bed.

"Yes Nancy, what is bothering you?"
