Love,
Mariana DelaRose
"Gerardo isn't your father?" Caleb gasped. But I couldn't answer him. I had another sister.. Would I meet her? Should I? Would she be angry at me?
"Ariana?" Caleb gently turned me so I was facing him, but I moved away from him and off the bed.
"I'm going to make breakfast for the kids." I muttered walking out of my room and to the living room.
As quietly as I could I took out three pans. One for pancakes, one for eggs, and one for bacon. "Ari- don't." I whispered as I beat the eggs. I couldn't talk about it. My mind was racing with a million thoughts.
Why would my mother call that man- my father? He hadn't been in my life for twenty-one years, why do I need him now? I have a sister too, I don't need another one.
"You should go." my eyes snapped up to meet a sea of blue. I shook my head as I turned back to the food.
"She didn't know either Ari." he whispered pulling me away from the stove. I let out a small whimper as I tried to push him away from me. "I don't need to meet a girl who claims she's my sister. How do I know she isn't a fraud?" I asked stubbornly. He sighed and ran one hand through his hair as the other one held me in place.
"I'll send Adrian with you. He's one of the best fighters.... Other than Jake." he slightly growled. I couldn't help the small smile that spread on my lips. He was still jealous even after I told him I loved him and wanted nobody but him. Not even jake.
"Mommy! Are these ours?" both of us turned to look at Zoe holding up the midnight black wolf with glowing blue eyes and Joey holding the white wolf with glowing green eyes.
"Yes they are, you're au-" I inconspicuously pinched Caleb making him hiss and stop mid-sentence. I sent him a glare as I pushed him away. "They're yours. Now go wake up Nat." I smiled shooing them away.
"I actually can't stay.." he trailed off as his eyes glazed over. I frowned and set the pan down on a towel as I went to pour another pancake and grab the bacon.
"The other pack is back." he growled. He quickly set the spatula he was holding down and gave me a quick peck. "Please think about going to visit her. I'll be back before eight, hopefully." he gave me another peck as he stuffed bacon in his mouth and ran out kissing the twins cheeks and hugging Nat and ran out the door.
I sighed and leaned back against the counter. I rubbed my fore head before setting the plates and heading out to the dining room. Both the girls were sitting on the chairs while Joey stared out of the window in the living room.
"Joe, come eat." I called out giving him a smile. He nodded and slowly walked over to the table. As he sat down to eat he kept staring at his wolf.
"Hi! Welcome to Lesta's Café, can I get you anything miss?" I quickly nodded and pulled out my black wallet. "Can I get a banana mocha please." I smiled at the chirpy brunette that was standing behind the cash register. "Of course! That'll be four twenty eight." I handed over the money and made my way to the other end of the counter.
Unconsciously I skimmed over the faces of the people at the café. Most were people in high school or in college. It was a quaint little café, I wonder why I never came in.
