"Well, because I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Everything, I have no clue what to do or who I am anymore. Everything has changed when I do not want it to. I don't know what's supposed to happen next and it scares me!" Ana said, tears falling from her eyes.
Ana felt herself starting to wake.
"I'm sorry; it seems I have to go. Sorry for the little breakdown I just had. It was rude."
"No, I rather you tell me what's wrong than lashing out at someone else."
"Okay then bye, I'll try not to cry next time." Ana said wiping her eyes.
"Bye Ana, I'll see you next time." Nic said, kissing her cheek.

Ana sat up in her bed and wiped the tears off her cheeks. She got out the bed and walked to her vanity mirror. She looked at her reflection.Her long processed straight hair that reached the middle of her back was frizzy from not wrapping it up.The eyes that made everybody wonder if she painted her skin the color of warm carmel topping, were red rimmed and puffy. They were a deep vibrant emerald green that you don't really see on people of color. Her face was flawless except for a faded scar above her right eye from a fall she had when she was younger.
Ana pulled her hair into a loose bun atop her head and headed to her bathroom. As she did her morning ritual she thought about her life and how it has changed.
How and the hell am I supposed to shift?What powers will I have? What the hell am I going to do about this mate shit? Were questions that went through her head as she showered.
Ana grabbed her jasmine scented body oil and rubbed it all over her body starting at her feet. She picked out a bra, panties, some sweatpants, and a cami out of her suitcase and got dressed. She walked to the spare room that Nat converted into a office and checked her emails from her teachers. After she did that she checked her Facebook and Twitter.
She looked at her notifications and signed out. She went back to her room and grabbed her sketch pad from her bookbag. She flopped on the bed but quickly decided to go outside to draw. She walked to her balcony and placed the sketch pad and charcoal pencil in her mouth. She climbed onto the piece of roof closes to her and got comfortable, leaning against the crook of the roof. She let her frustations go as she drew.

Jerry sat in his office going through his reports. When he came across one report he flew out of his chair and ran to the elevator. He rushed into the elevator and pressed the top floor. As he stepped out of the elevator he felt a chill run up his spine. He ran to the end of the hall and to the dark office. He placed it on the desk and ran out of the room.
Moments later, a chair crashed through the top floor window, falling 20 stories down.

Addie sat on the couch watching tv. Nat walked in moments later.
"Nat can I talk to you?"
"Sure sweetie, what's wrong?" Nat said sitting on the loveseat.
"Well, can you tell me about my parents? The way that you knew them?"
"Well that's easy. Your mother was a pain in the ass. She had a temper as big as the oceans combined and she was stubborn too. She stopped talking to me for a whole month for breaking the heel of her stupid YSL heels that she made me wear! They were a 18th birthday gift to her from her grandparents and she wanted me to wear them because they matched my dress. I told her I couldn't walk in those things but did she listen? No. So as we were leaving some party we went to, the heel got caught in a sewer cap and it snapped off when I tried to pull it free. She was so pissed her hair was red for a week." Nat said laughing.
"Is there anything else I should know about my mom?"
"Well she was engaged once, before she started having the mating dreams. She thought she was in love and she had found her mate. I mean, they were only 18, I don't know how she believed that when that guy, Thorton, was a total jerk. To this day, I still don't know what he was but he always made me feel danger around him.
Your mom was practically oblivious to it. His brother Oren ,however, was worse than he was. I still believe Oren killed him that night but no one will ever really know the truth because his brother disappeared after the funeral. Your mom started having the mating dream a week before the wedding. She knew then that she couldn't marry Thorton so she canceled all the preparations and tried to talk to him. He kept saying she was getting cold feet and that it will pass.
She couldn't tell him about the mating dream because he wasn't a Were and he wouldn't understand. She told him it was over and he tried to kill her. He choked her up on the wall and told her blantantly that she was marrying him whether she liked it or not. She used a bit of her powers and willed him into the wall, posed as if she pushed him. She left him that night and stayed with me.
I thought Thorton knew then that she wasn't human and might have told Oren. The next week, Thorton was dead. Found decapitated and scorched in another city. Your mom cried for him. Oren blamed her for his death then disappeared. Until you two were born. He tried to take you from Marian but they fought him and we escaped."
"What about my dad?"
"Well Joel is hard to describe. He was a priss ass. Everything was neat in his quarters, from his office to how many socks were in his underwear drawer. Which was a total opposite to your mom because she was a slob. When your father first saw her room he had a few omegas get cleaning supplies so he could clean up. Of course the omegas were not letting that happen and ended up cleaning the room themselves, even though they really could have gotten serious punishment for disobeying their Alpha, the omegas saved him. Your mother had clothes everywhere! They found shoes in her clothes hamper. Your mom was embarassed. But your father didn't care, he loved your mother. He was all big and tough to everyone else, but a big softy with your mom."
"Why haven't I had a mating dream yet?"
"You and your mate may not need eachother yet. I don't know how the mate thing work fully because I've never had one, but I think Ana or her mate need the other. Whether we are aware or not, mates know."
