He stood there. Looking at me. Looking at us. With those piercing Blue eyes staring into Joli's soul.

"Mate." He growled out. I looked over to Joli glistening with love and excitement.

She howled out to the Moon goddess to thank her. She rushed over to him and pounced. She started lapping his face with wet, slobbery, licks.

I ran back to get her clothes, I came back with them in my mouth. I also brought mine. I handed them to her and we both went behind a tree.

I shifted and changed, I walked out and saw Joli hugging the man. "Joli. I think your choking him." I told her.

"Joli... Beautiful name... I'm Joe. Joe Verken." He said. "So you must be lilly." He said looking at me.

Joli slowly let go of him and looked at me, looked back at him, then looked back at me.

"What? You guys look nothing alike! You have Black hair. He has blond. You have pale skin. He has olive skin. I could go on." She explained.

"Just because we don't look alike doesn't mean we aren't siblings." I said slowly walking towards him.

He slowly let go of Joli and walked toward me. He was in front of me and in braced me in a tight hug, causing a growl from Joli.

I hugged him back. "It's been so long Lilly... So long. I thought I would never see you again... After what happened that is." He sadly spoke.

I just smiled. "Well you see me now." I said. "Get back to your mate, Joli, let's get back to your apartment." I suggested, turning back to her and letting go of Joe.

We walked back to the car and hopped in. I drove while they sat in the back. "So... What happened to cause you guys to separate?" She asked.

I froze. Joe tensed. Joli realized. "I didn't mean to... Um... Bring up bad parts if that is what it is about." She apologized.

"It's fine. I don't even really understand it that much." Joe said and looked toward me.

"How am I supposed to know! I was just a toddler!" I defended myself. He sighed.

"Confused here! Please explain to me what the hell happened." Joli yelled from the backseat of the car.

Flashback

*Joe's pov*

"What do you mean? Why are you doing this to me? I thought you loved me!" Screamed mother from the backyard.

I silently cried and I heard a crash, whimper, and a growl. Now was the time where I had the courage to go see what was happening.

I opened my door and headed down the stairs. "Mommy? Daddy?" I asked and my father, in wolf form, stared directly into my eyes.

My mother, in wolf form, had my father pinned to the ground. My father was whimpering, telling me to run.

I ran forward and pushed my mother off as she was about to bite him. "No! Don't kill him! You shouldn't have been my mommy in the first place! I hate you!" I yelled.

I knew what mates were. My mother was not his. They hooked up and decided to get married after they found out she was pregnant.

Eventually, they fell in love. Four years after having me, he found his mate. So this is where we are now, with my mother pushing me down.

My father had gotten up and was charging toward her. He bit her and didn't stop until she was unmoving.

That was the first time I saw a dead body. My own mother. I was soon introduced to my step mother.

"Sweety, would you like something to drink? You look parched." She asked. It is just the example of the many times she was nice to me.

Not to mention, she was the beta's daughter. And she had been living under the power of the alpha because her father died.

Three months after her being here, I found out I was having a sibling. I was ecstatic! I didn't want to be an only child.

Seven months later, out came my little sister, Lilly Satine Verken. We were five and a half years apart.

A couple years later, when she was just a toddler, I was alone with her. I was about eight. She was three.

I thought nothing of it when the doorknob turned. In came a man, not our father. I stood up in a protective stance over my sister.

The man chuckled to himself and mumbled. "This is too easy. They said it would take a lot of skill. Over protected, my butt." He whispered as he walked toward us.

He pushes me out of the way as if I were nothing. I growled and pushed him. "No! Stop! Mom! Dad!" I yelled.

He chuckled and picked up my little sister. I kicked him and he turned to look at me.

"Listen you little brat! You can do all you want, you could never hu-" he was cut off my my father walking in.

My father froze. The man froze. I kicked the man in the shin and he zoomed off. My father raced after him.

I watched from the window. My father was about to pounce before getting tackled by a herd of Wolves.

Before I could witness my father's death, my mother pulled me from the window and locked me into the bunker where I was safe.

My mother looked at me with sorry eyes and whispered to me. "You will see your sister once again." She promised.

She then left. I was stuck in the bunker until she came back, blood all over her, sobbing. I asked her what happened.

My mother let me out and we drove to her brothers house. Told him everything. My father had been murdered. My little sister had been taken.

She couldn't take not being with him and killed herself. Hung herself. My uncle took care of me. But it was never the same.

Flashback over

*Lilly's pov*

I sighed after hearing what he had said. "I never really remember either of my parents. I just knew the darkness." I stated.

Joe's eyes were filled with tears. Joli was bursting out in sobs. I just didn't want to hear it.

"I-i-i h-hop-pe y-ou g-guy-s a-are h-happ-py n-now!" Joli tried saying between sobs.

Joe rubbed her back with his hand as she lean on him. "It's okay. We are happy now." He said as he stared into my eyes from the review mirror.
