Mated To The Enemy

•Chapter Three•

None of us spoke for a few minutes once again, did my dad really just say that? Does he really believe that the town was attacked by werewolves? I have so many questions followed by worry, let's hope our dad isn't starting to go back just when he was getting better. He begins to flip through the books he brought from the basement, I once again look over to Ethan who held the same expression I did.

"You think the town was attacked by werewolves?" I ask finally talking breaking the awkward silence we had going on.

This causes him to look up at me confused not understanding what I meant, does he really think I'm the confusing one in this conversation?!

"That's what they're called werewolves, but they're just myths" I explain to him hoping he would understand, he shakes his head turning around one of the photo albums to show us a photo of a wolf in the woods.

"Just before your mother went missing, she said she found a pack of wolves not that far from here, it took her a while to take photos as there were always some people around there with them, who she didn't want in her shots" he explains turning the page to another page with a different wolf on, I'm not gonna lie they were some bomb photos, my mother was good at what she did.

"She tried for weeks to get the perfect picture but there was always at least one person with the wolves, she only managed to get these photos before she went missing" he explains looking at one of the photos, that's not really explaining why he thinks werewolves exist and why they would attack our town!

"Just because there were people with the wolves doesn't mean they're werewolves, they could have owned the wolves for all we know, dad they don't exist they're just a myth" I say but he drops the book on the table placing his hands on his hips, wow that was sort of dramatic.

"I saw a human turn into a wolf back there, I'm not crazy before you say I am, I asked a few of the guys and guess what, they seen it too" he exclaims open his arms out wide, I look towards Ethan once again mentality saying help, but he didn't get it.

"Justin, I need a word with you in the kitchen" my dad says walking towards the kitchen, Justin looks at me worried before following him out leaving Ethan and I on the sofa.

"He's getting better is he?" I ask looking over to him, he sighs sitting back with his hands over his eyes stressed, please don't say this has made dad take two steps backwards.

It was the next morning, Justin slept on a blow up mattress on my floor. He never told me what him and my dad spoke about in the kitchen, even though I asked him a hundred times. I was doing my makeup when my dad walks through the door, throwing Justin a walkie-talkie.

"Be downstairs in 5 minutes, everyone's gathering in the town hall" is all he says before walking back out the room, looks like that was just a fly-in visit.

"Why've you got that?" I ask turning around to look at Justin, he just lays back on my bed sighing rubbing his face.

"You'll find out" is all he says as my dad shouts for us to hurry up, I sigh just getting back to my makeup, I was unsure if I was going to like what I was about to find out.

In no time we were sat in the town hall waiting for everyone to show up, as we walk in all the guys were given walkie-talkies but none of the girls, that's not sexist at all. Once everyone was in, the doors were closed and locked, okay they don't want us to leave. I look around to see Martha sitting with Sam and Jacob, but I couldn't see Reece anywhere, immediately, due to the recent events my mind starts to fear the worst. But before I could ask anyone if they've seen him, my dad starts to speak on the little raised platform at the front.
